However, she did not have time to ask about what happened next.
On the way home from the palace, Ning Yue’s carriage was accidentally bumped into.
She and Gu Yu were fine, but the person who had hit her carriage was injured.
“Let’s go down and bandage them first,” said Gu Yu.
No matter what, the other party was injured. They had to save them first.
“Let me take a look.” Ning Yue couldn’t be bothered to ask about the coachman’s condition. She went forward to treat the injured.
She asked, “What’s your name?”
Initially, she had only asked to distract the injured from focusing on the injury. This would help her shorten the treatment time.
“My name is Liu Xuan,” the person replied.
Hearing this name, Ning Yue paused. Liu Xuan? Wasn’t this a relative of her biological mother, Liu Yun?
When Ning Yue paused, she accidentally sprinkled too much medicinal powder. When Liu Xuan saw that a lot of medicinal powder had been poured out, he couldn’t help but ask, “Young Miss, are my injuries too serious?”
“No, I’m sorry. I remember an old friend. May I ask who Liu He is to you?” Ning Yue asked.
“Young Miss, you know Liu He? He’s my father,” Liu Xuan said.
As expected! An Ning took a deep breath. Liu He was Liu Yun’s biological brother, so she should call him Uncle, and Liu Xuan was her cousin.
“Eldest Cousin, I’m Ning Yue,” Ning Yue said.
“Ah?” Liu Xuan was stunned for a moment. He did not expect this world to be so small. He had entered the capital to take the martial arts top scholar examination.
However, as he was unfamiliar with this place, he had been lost for a long time. When he finally saw the lively streets, he wanted to go forward and ask someone for directions.
In the end, he did not notice the situation on both sides of the road and bumped into a walking carriage. Coincidentally, the owner of the carriage was actually his cousin!
“You, are you really Auntie Liu Yun’s daughter, Cousin Ning Yue?” Liu Xuan asked.
They had visited Liu Yun a few times when he married into the General’s Residence. At first, the people from the General’s Residence were very welcoming of them.
However, ever since Old Madam died and the old general married his second wife, they had never seen Liu Yun again when they went to the General’s Residence.
Either Liu Yun had followed Ning Feng to the front lines, or he was not in the general’s residence. In short, there were all kinds of reasons why they did not want to see him.
Later, when Liu Yun passed away, their family went to the General’s Residence to pay their respects and ask about Ning Yue’s whereabouts.
The people from the General’s Residence said that Ning Yue had been sent away by Liu Yun the moment she was born. They did not know where she had been sent to.
After many years, they heard that the people from the General’s Residence had brought Ning Yue back. They had also secretly gone to see her.
At that time, Ning Yue had been deceived by An Yuan and hated the Liu family very much.
“You don’t hate us?” Liu Xuan was a little nervous. He couldn’t help but recall how Ning Yue had wanted to chase them all out of the capital when she saw them.
“Cousin, I wasn’t sensible in the past. Now that I’m sensible, I won’t let you suffer anymore. Cousin, is Uncle’s health okay?” Ning Yue asked.
At the mention of his father, Liu Xuan sighed. “Ever since Auntie Liu Yun passed away, his health has been deteriorating day by day. Not long after he returned from the capital, he passed away.”
He had passed away? Her uncle had also passed away!
“Cousin, where are you staying? This isn’t a place to talk. Let’s leave first,” Ning Yue asked.
“I’ve just arrived in the capital and don’t have a place to stay yet. I was just about to ask for directions,” Liu Xuan said awkwardly. He was too embarrassed to tell Ning Yue that he was lost.
“Cousin, stay at my place. There are many rooms there. You can have one for yourself,” Ning Yue said.
“No, that’s the General’s Residence after all. Your grandmother…”
When Ning Yue heard this, she knew that Liu Xuan had misunderstood and immediately interrupted him. “Cousin, it’s not the General Residence. I bought a house. Let’s go.”
Without another word, Ning Yue brought Liu Xuan to the house.
“Mother, this is my cousin, Liu Xuan. He’s from my mother’s family.” Ning Yue introduced him to Madam He.
Seeing Liu Xuan, Madam He was stunned. It wasn’t until Ning Yue reminded her that she came back to her senses.
“Do you like braised eggplants?” Madam He asked a question that puzzled everyone.
“Yes, my father and I like it,” Liu Xuan said, feeling a little embarrassed.
“Oh, then I’ll go prepare dinner first. You guys chat.” With that, Madam He turned around and entered the kitchen.
Ning Yue looked at Madam He and was a little worried. “Jiang Ying, help me accompany my cousin. I’ll go look for my mother.”
“Okay.”
