A mere maidservant cannot see the situation clearly, and father will naturally punish him for you, so you don't have to be angry over a maidservant and Ziyun."
"Zijun has always been soft-hearted, just like your mother. You two are siblings, so you must get along well with each other in the future. Only then can your mother rest in peace in her grave!"
He Xi glanced at Nalan Ziyun and smiled, "Don't worry, father, I will definitely get along well with Ziyun!"
Nalan Zhengze's expression became gentler after hearing this. "This happened today. You were frightened, Hexi. You should put off paying respects to your mother until tomorrow. Go back and have a good rest."
It was not until He Xi's back disappeared around the corner that Nalan Zhengze's face darkened and he said to his son behind him, "Come with me into the study!"
As soon as he entered the study, Nalan Zhengze slammed his hands on the chair and said sternly, "Ziyun, what happened to you just now? Have you forgotten what I told you? I told you to get along well with her, but what did you do? What if she loses her heart to you?"
Nalan Zijun stood in front of Nalan Zhengze with a look of panic on his face, but his eyes were full of indignation.
After hearing Nalan Zhengze's last words, he stiffened his neck and said, "If you want to be apart, then be apart. That piece of trash is not my sister."
Thinking of the ridicule and humiliation he had suffered, Nalan Ziyun's handsome face twisted, "It is because of such a useless sister that I am laughed at wherever I go. Father, I really don't understand. Nalan Hexi is just a good-for-nothing waste. Her existence is only a shame for the Nalan family. Why do you still protect her so much? Isn't it better for her to die than to live?"
After listening to Nalan Ziyun's accusation, Nalan Zhengze frowned and remained silent for a while.
After a long while, he sighed and said, "Ziyun, you are my most valued son. Since you were a child, I have allowed you to enter the palace to be the prince's companion, and I also spent a lot of money to send you to the Seven Star Palace for training. Do you think I would harm you?"
"Father, that's not what I meant." Nalan Ziyun said hurriedly with great fear, "I just don't understand. Nalan Hexi is such a good-for-nothing waste. Why do you still want to protect her and even ask me to please her and get close to her? I... When I think that such a good-for-nothing mortal is my own sister, I want to kill her and make her disappear from this world!"
Nalan Zhengze's eyes were heavy, and he did not blame Nalan Ziyun for being cruel and ruthless. Instead, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Ziyun, your personality is very similar to me when I was young."
"Well, since you are so obsessed with He Xi's identity, I will tell you the truth. But you have to promise not to tell anyone else what you heard today, not even the elders in the family."
Nalan Zijun felt his heart beating like a drum. He had a premonition that he was about to hear a huge secret, and even his breathing subconsciously became lighter.
But he said solemnly: "Don't worry, father, Ziyun will keep it a secret!"
Nalan Zhengze nodded, and then remained silent for a long time before he slowly said, "Nalan Hexi is indeed not your biological sister. Her biological brother died more than ten years ago."
"What?!" Nalan Ziyun's eyes suddenly widened, "Father... Father, what do you mean by this? Am I not your biological son? This... How is this possible?" (To be continued)
