Chapter 481: About My Background
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yun Ran was not against the matter regarding the coronation of empress.
However, she did not expect it to be so soon.
Back then, she had promised MO Beiyuan that after the Bai family’s matter was over, she would restore her identity as a member of the Bai family and marry him. Now, it seemed like it was indeed time to fulfill her promise.
She had to recover her identity first.
Yun Ran handed the two children to MO Beiyuan to take care of while she went to the Bai family.
She went to look for Bai Wan.
“Mother, what do you think about my background? Are you not planning to let me have anything to do with Xuanyuan Yu?”
When Bai Wan objected to Xuanyuan Yu taking them away, Yun Ran had already guessed what Bai Wan meant.
Bai Wan did not want her to have anything to do with Xuanyuan Yu, or rather, the royal family of Wu’an.
Bai Wan did not expect her to be so direct and was slightly stunned.
“Xiao Ran, there are some things that we really have to make clear to you.”
Bai Wan took a deep breath and slowly said, “The Bai family was once the number one family in the five countries. Your maternal grandfather, Bai Xiao, was once the general of the East Continent. Therefore, he is not only your maternal grandfather, but also the commander-in-chief of the Bai army. He is a god in the eyes of the soldiers of the East Continent.”
“During the battle between Wu’an and the East Continent, the East Continent’s army suffered heavy casualties because they were plotted against. Even at this time, many soldiers’ corpses have not been found. It has been a long time, but many people’s pain has not passed. If they know that you are Xuanyuan Yu’s bloodline and the Princess of Wu’an, do you know how many voices of opposition will be raised?”
Yun Ran was silent for a moment. “So I’m the reason you said those heart-wrenching words to Yu?”
At the mention of Xuanyuan Yu, a hint of guilt flashed across Bai Wan’s eyes. “No, it’s not all because of you. It’s also because of me. I’m not only Bai Wan, but I’m also the legitimate daughter of the Bai family! As the legitimate daughter of the Bai family, there are some things I can’t do!”
She and Xuanyuan Yu would eventually miss each other.
Yun Ran’s face was calm, and her expression did not change much. She was even calmer than Bai Wan, her mother. “Then what do you plan to do?
Announce to the public that I’m of the Bai family’s bloodline and that my
biological father is no longer alive?”
“You might not know this, but Yu often brought Sweetcake out to show off on the streets. When he brought Sweetcake to the Yun family, it caused such a huge commotion. It’s impossible for no one to suspect his relationship with Sweetcake. Everyone in the Imperial City knows that Emperor Wu’an used to live in the Yuan Mansion and has a special relationship with the Yuan King. As long as they make a little connection, they can guess my relationship with Yu. Do you think we can hide this matter?”
Bai Wan had thought that she could resolve the problem by severing ties with
Xuanyuan Yu now.
However, she did not know that Xuanyuan Yu had always carried the little packrat to the streets to show off.
“Did he like to go out with Sweetcake?”
Yun Ran nodded affirmatively. “He liked it very much! It’s not like you don’t know how much he and MO Beiyuan dote on Sweetcake! Sweetcake is a little child after all. One moment, he’s Grandfather, and the next moment, he’s Old Fish. It’s inevitable that he’ll reveal himself when he goes out.”
Therefore, from the beginning, Yun Ran had not taken the matter of hiding her relationship with Xuanyuan Yu seriously.
Bai Wan frowned. “What should we do now? What if we refuse to admit it?”
Yun Ran shook her head. “Even if we don’t admit it, those people won’t give up on their suspicions. In my opinion, instead of thinking of ways to hide these secrets that can’t be hidden at all, we might as well reveal them..”
