300 Chapter 300 assassination 2 at the presidential palace

Machine Translation

Now that they saw how happy he was to accept Keqin, how could they not be happy They were happy from the bottom of their hearts.

"Yueying is still young. As long as we teach her well, she will definitely turn over a new leaf."

"Miss Keqin! Young Master Di! Your tea—be careful. It's hot."

"Thank you!"

Just as Lan Keqin finished speaking, the servants brought the tea over and placed it on the coffee table in front of them.

"Miss Keqin is too polite. This is what we should do."

The servants were very happy with Lan Keqin's politeness. When people like them came to work here, how would they meet such polite people? They were all putting on airs and putting on airs.

"Don't drink it yet. Be careful, it's hot."

Seeing that Lan Keqin went to serve tea, Di Junlin took her hand back. Firstly, he was afraid that she would drink the tea and, secondly, he was afraid that there would be a problem with the tea.

"Okay!"

Lan Keqin retracted her hand, held him back, and nodded.

Nangong Du squinted his eyes and observed Di Junlin's care and concern for Lan Keqin. He saw that they were even more loving than he imagined.

Loving each other was good but he was afraid that they weren't loving each other.

"Oh right, Keqin! Why aren't your parents here?"

Nangong Du asked again. He clearly knew that Nangong Yurou and Cass Jerne were Lan Keqin's real parents, yet he asked Lan Keqin's parents in front of them.

He used the term "parents" instead of "adoptive parents."

What he meant was that he was indirectly saying that Lan Keqin was someone else's daughter and not the daughter of Cass Jerne and Nangong Yurou. Since she wasn't their daughter, it was even more impossible for her to be his granddaughter.

However, Lan Keqin's thoughts were different. In her heart, no matter who the Lans were, they were still her parents.

"My parents went out shopping."

Lan Keqin replied with a smile.

"Oh! It's been hard for them to raise you. Grandpa must treat them to a meal some other day."

Nangong Du chuckled and said, "Keqin! Grandpa won't be accompanying you. Grandpa still has a lot of national affairs to deal with, so I'll go back to work first."

"Grandpa, you can go."

Lan Keqin nodded and replied with a smile.

"Mn!"

Nangong Du replied with an "mn" before looking at Di Junlin. "Young Master Di! This old man just happened to have a business deal that I want to negotiate with you. Are you interested?"

"I'd be happy to."

Di Junlin replied frivolously, not taking him seriously at all.

"Then follow this old man to the study room to talk!"

Before Di Junlin treated him as a family, he still had the respect that he should have, even if he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

"Okay."

Di Junlin replied coldly. He stood up and looked at Cass Jerne and Nangong Yurou, "King Jerne! Queen Nangong! I'll leave Keqin to you."

After saying that, he gave Lan Keqin a doting kiss on her forehead, which made some servants die of envy.

How could Lan Keqin have the fortune to meet a man who loved her so much? She was disfigured, yet this god-like man still loved and doted on her.

"I'll be leaving first. Remember, don't leave the sight of your Mother Nangong and Father Jerne. Even if you have to go to the bathroom, you have to bring Cheng Lin with you, understand?"

He lowered his head and whispered into her ear.

"Yes! I understand."

Lan Keqin also planted a kiss on his cheek. Regardless of whether or not Nangong Du sincerely accepted her as his granddaughter, she would definitely have her guard up.

This was because if she didn't have her guard up, she and her baby would be the ones in trouble. One corpse, three lives. She couldn't afford to gamble, and she wasn't that stupid.

After Nangong Du and Di Junlin left, Cass Jerne and Nangong Yurou walked to Lan Keqin's side.

"Keqin! In two days, your Father Jerne and I will return to the Cass Empire. Do you want to return to the palace with us?"

Nangong Yurou looked at her nervously, afraid that she would refuse. She had already been separated from her for eighteen years and she really wanted to live with her for a period of time.

"Mom! I can't go back to the Cass Empire with you guys for the time being. Even if I go back, I will still live in the Rose Manor. Junlin won't allow me to live alone in the palace."

Lan Keqin couldn't bear to refuse Nangong Yurou but she had to refuse. Going back at this time would undoubtedly give the people who wanted to kill her a chance.

"Yurou, Keqin can't go back to the palace with us right now."

Cass Jerne whispered beside Nangong Yurou.

"Why?"

"It's not like you don't know about the internal strife in the palace right now. Moreover, who wanted Keqin to die and who saved her in the end and was picked up and adopted by my sister 18 years ago is all a mystery. Now that Keqin is going back, she's unintentionally pushed to the edge of the storm so that the enemy can kill her completely."

Cass Jerne spoke with heartache. It was truly god's blessing. Fortunately, their eldest daughter was still alive.

"Father! You said that there's an internal conflict in the Imperial Palace of the Cass Empire?"

Lan Keqin looked at him in surprise as she asked. She was someone who rarely read the news, especially in the past month or so. She hadn't even read the news. In the past, when she had read the news, it was more or less about Di Junlin.

"Yes, that's why even if you regain your status as the Eldest Princess, father can not bring you back at this time. This is because you are the true heir of the Cass Empire. If you go back now, even if you live in the Imperial Palace, it will be very dangerous."

It should be said that if she were to go back now, the Cass Empire would be the most dangerous place for her. Right now, she was only the safest by Di Junlin's side. Even if she were to stay in the Presidential Palace, they wouldn't feel at ease.

Di Junlin's strength was obvious to everyone. Even if the presidents of several countries were to join forces, they might not dare to touch him.

"Yes! The most important thing is your two uncles. They are bent on bringing me down from the throne. And now, I have no choice but to guess whether they are the ones who caused your 'death' back then. But fortunately, you are still alive."

When Cass Jerne said this, his loving eyes turned cold. If Keqin's 'death' at that time was really done by his cousin and younger brother, then he would not be thinking of family ties.

If they dared to hurt her again, whether it was his cousin or his younger brother, he would not be soft-hearted because of family ties. Others had already killed his daughter. If he was soft-hearted, then he would be stupid. He would be an idiot.

"I still have two uncles?"

Lan Keqin asked in surprise but, when she thought about it, it made sense. How could a family like Father Jerne's only have him and his mother, two children?

The Royal Family was terrifying. Even in modern times, the competition for power and internal strife were still the same as in ancient times.

There were too many brothers who fought against each other.

If that was the case, then she had to become stronger. Di Junlin could protect her for a lifetime but he could not protect her all the time. And they could not be like conjoined twins who stuck together all the time.

It was not just her. For the sake of Papa Jerne and Mama Nangong, she had to become stronger as well.
