Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1465: Chapter 1459: Something is Strange About This Place_1 Chapter 1465: Chapter 1459: Something is Strange About This Place_1 “Mark? Bloodline?” Qin Xue seemed to have grasped something, but also as if she hadn’t.

“What’s wrong?” Chu Molin saw his wife deep in thought, not knowing what she was thinking about.

“Nothing.” Qin Xue shook her head, unsure herself what to say. She just felt something odd, but couldn’t put her finger on what.

“Dad, is this my older brother?” Nangong Beiying, seeing the sombre mood of everyone, asked her father.

“Yingying, let someone keep watch while we discuss things in the study. Don’t let anyone come near.” Nangong Kunpeng seemed to have thought of something after the previous incident, hence he instructed his daughter.

“Alright.” Nangong Beiying sensed the gravity of the situation.

“Wait, I need to get someone in first.” As everyone started getting up to move to the study, Qin Xue suddenly spoke up.

“Okay.” Nangong Kunpeng didn’t know whom she wanted to bring, but he didn’t decline her request nonetheless.

“Chu Molin, you look after the child. I’m going to fetch Xue Ling.” Qin Xue handed over the child to her husband, then announced whom she was bringing, to avoid causing them any worry.

“Hmm.” Chu Molin reached out to take the child.

“Sister Xue, you finally arrived. They wouldn’t let me in, and it really pissed me off.” Xue Ling had followed Chu Molin, only she had run some errands after she came out, which led to her delay. None of those people, regardless of what she said, were willing to let her in. She was truly infuriated.

“Who told you not to come together, you know very well about the rules in wealthy households.” Qin Xue didn’t lay blame on others. They were just doing their jobs, and if they didn’t perform well, wouldn’t their livelihood be at stake?

“I understand, but just looking at a cute and beautiful girl like me, I don’t seem like a bad person at all, yet they wouldn’t let me in.” Xue Ling said, huffily.

“Alright, let’s go. Seriously, would bad people confess they are bad?” Qin Xue smiled at Xue Ling. Didn’t she know that in previous life, many children were taught to do bad things?

“Master, you’re being very mean. How could you say that about me.” Xuexue was genuinely upset. It would be excusable if others said so, but she thought her master would know better. Now that she was spoken about in such a way, she felt deeply hurt.

“Not everything that meets the eye is reality. We need to perceive with our hearts and sight. We must look beyond the superficial, particularly as society continues to evolve, and the essence of many things has shifted. You know how many swindlers exist in this later generation, right? Thus, being cautious is normal.” Qin Xue felt that without wariness, one might be sold off and still counting money for the seller.

“Master, I understand the principle and will be careful in the future.” Xue Ling had only been sealed for a long time. It wasn’t because she was foolish or harmless as she appeared to be, and not concerned about anything. She was merely playing dumb to outwit the others.

“Hmm.” Qin Xue brought Xue Ling in and was immediately led to the study.

“Dad, everyone is here. Is there something you would like to say?” Nangong Beiying saw Qin Xue enter, nodded towards Feng and the others, and then closed the door to speak to Nangong Kunpeng.

“Yingying should have told you all that all legitimate members of the Nangong family have the mark of a petal, right?” Nangong Kunpeng asked them.

“Hmm.” Both Qin Xue and Jing Xin nodded. They both had the mark. Now hearing Nangong Kunpeng asking so, they felt there seemed to be some unknown secrets in it. Otherwise, why couldn’t it be spoken of in the living room and had to be guarded in the study instead? Undeniably, they wanted to know the truth.
