After hearing Si Chaoqun’s answer, Qi Mohan’s face darkened instantly: “How dare you treat me perfunctorily?”
He heard everything the couple had just said, and Qi Mohan had to find out the truth.
Seeing Qi Mohan getting angry, Si Chaoqun was really at a loss, but he knew very well in his heart that the person in front of him was not easy to fool.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and asked the opposite question: “I dare to ask Your Highness, what does the medicine you just took have to do with the owner of this shoe?”
He would rather die than surrender. Before he dies, he must find out whether these shoes belong to his daughter Si Si or not.
Little did he know that his question aroused Qi Mohan’s curiosity. He did not answer Si Chaoqun’s question, but asked expressionlessly: “What if it has to do with the owner, or doesn’t?”
Si Chaoqun: “……”
He wanted to admit defeat. The conversation with Qi Mohan made him feel powerless.
But the opponent was pressing him step by step. If he doesn’t explain the reason, he is afraid that he will suffer in the future.
Luo Xuehua, on the side, was anxious. She didn’t care that Qi Mohan was still there, and directly pulled Si Chaoqun’s sleeve: “Husband, if we continue to be deadlocked like this, I’m afraid we will never see the owner of the shoes in our lifetime.”
After saying this, before Si Chaoqun could react, Luo Xuehua took a step forward, no longer showing any fear on her face.
“Your Majesty, my husband and I suspect that the owner of these shoes is our long-lost daughter, so we rushed to the palace to meet that girl.”
Hearing Luo Xuehua mention her missing daughter, Qi Mohan fell into confusion again.
When he first met the couple that night, they mentioned Si Si’s name, and Qi Mohan heard it.
Today, the two said that these were probably the shoes of their long-lost daughter.
The most important thing was that their daughter’s name was also Si Si.
If he didn’t know that Si Si was not from this era, looking at the performance of these two people, he would even be willing to believe that they were Si Si’s parents.
Qi Mohan frowned and pondered for a long time, then ordered someone to bring paper and pen, and then said to Si Chaoqun: “Write your name on it, and also write your daughter’s birthday.”
He couldn’t judge the situation of these two people now, so he thought of asking them to write down the information and then show it to Si Si to reveal the truth.
Si Chaoqun didn’t know Qi Mohan’s intention, but his situation didn’t allow him to object, so he could only do as the latter said.
Of course, he would not write the year of his daughter’s birthday, but only the month and day.
After writing it as requested, Si Chaoqun looked at Qi Mohan with a puzzled look on his face, wanting to know what the latter’s purpose was in doing so.
Unexpectedly, Qi Mohan didn’t give him any explanation at all. He just told someone to keep an eye on the couple, then took the paper he had written on and Si Si’s shoes and left.
Qi Mohan went straight to Mozhu Garden. At this moment, Si Si was playing in the room with the two kids. Imperial Concubine Yun had also arranged breakfast. Considering that Si Si was injured, she asked someone to bring breakfast to her room so that they could eat together.
Qi Mohan didn’t rush to have breakfast when he entered the room. He directly unfolded the paper written by Si Chaoqun and showed it to Si Si.
“Si Si, take a look at what’s written on this paper.”
Si Chaoqun can’t write ancient traditional Chinese characters, so the picture above is all Chinese characters, and Si Si’s birthday was written in Arabic numerals.
Although Qi Mohan didn’t recognize those Chinese characters, he had seen similar characters on the things Si Si sent him and had guessed that he might be related to Si Si or Si Si’s era.
But he didn’t delve into it at the time and planned to let Si Si take a look at it before making any further comments.
When Si Si saw the words on the paper, she was stunned for a moment, and then her tears flowed like pearls from a broken string, and she couldn’t stop.
Imperial Concubine Yun didn’t know why Si Si was so sad when she saw the paper, so she quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears herself.
“Don’t cry, dear. Even if you encounter unexpected troubles, Mohan will support you!”
At this moment, Si Si was no longer able to listen to Imperial Concubine Yun’s advice. Tears kept falling, wetting the piece of paper with her parents’ names and her birthday written on it.
At this moment, Qi Mohan has realized something. He was sure that Si Si and the couple must have a secret relationship.
However, his thoughts were very confused now, and he couldn’t figure out what the relationship was between a girl from a thousand years later and the ancients in their eyes.
Although his thoughts were in a mess, Qi Mohan had no time to think. Si Si was crying like this, and he didn’t know how to comfort her.
Si Si couldn’t stop crying, but she still had questions to ask Qi Mohan, so she could only keep choking and speaking: “Qi…Qi Mohan, can you…Can you tell me where the person who wrote these words is?”
The words on the paper were very familiar to Si Si.
Si Chaoqun grew up in the countryside, didn’t receive much education, and his handwriting wasn’t very good.
After he became famous, he specially asked someone to help him design a signature. However, no matter how much he practiced, he could never write the “口” (mouth) of the Chinese character “司” in the way that others did, and he always wrote it a little round.
Therefore, Si Si recognized at a glance that the word came from her father, and the Arabic numerals on it were also completely accurate in showing her date of birth.
Qi Mohan didn’t answer her immediately, but turned around and ordered someone to fetch a piece of oilcloth, then returned to Si Si and quickly wrapped her up. It was still raining outside, and he didn’t want Si Si to get wet again.
Qi Mohan picked up Si Si and said, “I will take you to see the person who wrote this now.”
Imperial Concubine Yun saw her son carrying Si Si and walking out in a hurry. Not knowing why, she carefully reminded him: “Mohan, be careful, don’t drop Si Si.”
Qi Mohan responded and carried Si Si out of the yard.
After a few ups and downs, the two arrived where Si Chaoqun and Luo Xuehua were.
Si Chaoqun and Luo Xuehua were in a state of confusion when they saw Qi Mohan coming back with a person wrapped in an oilcloth.
Qi Mohan carefully placed Si Si on a chair, and then slowly opened the oilcloth wrapped around her.
After seeing the familiar face, Si Chaoqun and Luo Xuehua no longer cared whether Qi Mohan was present or not.
The two of them acted as if they had made an appointment. While crying and calling out Si Si’s name, they also ran towards her.
“Si Si… you are my baby, Si Si… wuwuwu…” Luo Xuehua burst into tears and hugged Si Si, who was still a little dazed, in her arms.
Si Chaoqun went forward and hugged the mother and daughter and burst into tears.
In Qi Mohan’s eyes, this scene looked like a family reuniting after a long separation, but looking at Si Si’s stunned expression, it was obvious that she didn’t recognize these two people.
He was worried that Si Si would get hurt, so he stepped forward and pulled the two people apart, who were hugging Si Si tightly.
