Chapter 260: Romantic proposal, mystery of birth 12

"Yes! I know that doing this might hurt you. After all, you have raised Keqin for so many years, but... there are some things that need to be announced to be beneficial to her."

Di Junlin said carefully, afraid of hurting Father Lan and Mother Lan's hearts.

"I know what you mean by doing this. Firstly, you want to use Keqin's birth to agitate her, so that she will wake up earlier. Secondly, after you announce Keqin's birth, Keqin will be able to truly be your wife, right?''

Father Lan said sorrowfully. If it was possible, he and Li'er did not want Lan Keqin to return to that kind of place where people schemed against each other. She was too naive and was not a match for those people.

However, she had met Di Junlin. With his ability, they still believed that he would protect their daughter well.

Moreover, after this incident, they also understood a lot.

It was not enough just to be kind. They had to learn how to protect themselves so that they would not be harmed.

"Uncle! You know about Keqin's background?"

When Father Lan said this, it was obvious that they knew Lan Keqin's background. Di Junlin looked at them in surprise.

"Actually, we don't know Keqin's background either. When we picked her up, we thought she was just an ordinary baby. But once, when she was sick and kept crying, her eyes turned blue. At that time, Li'er and I were both very surprised and felt very embarrassed.

"Speaking of this, you must want to ask why we were able to determine whose child she was so quick. That was because Keqin looked like Nangong Yurou. Her eyes were practically carved out of her own likeness. At that time, we had planned to get Keqin to acknowledge them. However, after thinking about it, Keqin was thrown into a remote mountain village in Country A from the Cass Empire. Someone must have planned it.

"If we let her go back now, she would definitely fall into a crisis once again. Later on, when she grew up, we also thought about telling her biological parents. However, the Cass Empire's Imperial Palace had been in turmoil for the past few years, so we dragged this matter back.

"Keqin was the true successor to the Cass Empire's throne. If she returned now, she would undoubtedly be in deep trouble. She was so kind, so how could she be a match for those who had hurt her?

"Someone dared to steal her from under the eyes of the King and Queen—and even made them believe that Keqin was really dead. This meant that their methods were extremely powerful. We couldn't take this risk.

"We also knew that Jerne and Yurou were very sad because of Keqin's "death." Many times, we wanted to use letters to tell them that Keqin didn't die but was raised by us. However, if one more person knew, it would be more dangerous. We didn't say. It was because we wanted to wait until everything had calmed down before telling them.

However, what we didn't expect was that our hesitation still caused Keqin great harm. And the person who hurt her was actually her... biological sister."

Father Lan said everything he wanted to say in one breath. They were really heartbroken. What made them even more heartbroken was that the person who caused Keqin to be hurt was her biological sister.

They had also seen the news these few days and knew that Di Junlin was taking revenge on Cass Yueying, even if she was their... But she had made a mistake and she had to be punished...

"Uncle and Aunt! You are...?"

Having said that, Di Junlin had no choice but to doubt the true identity of Father Lan and Mother Lan.

"Actually, Li'er is Jerne's biological sister! She was the last Princess of the Cass Empire and the only heir. But later on, we went into seclusion and didn't want to get involved in the matters in the Palace, so we passed the throne to Jerne.

"Speaking of which, this is also a kind of fate. Jerne's child was actually raised by us. Keqin is also our biological niece."

Father Lan hugged Mother Lan tighter. She gave up the throne, gave up her prestigious status and enjoying endless wealth. She chose his happiness and hers, far away from the bustling city life.

"Uncle, are you from that reclusive family, the Lan family?"

Di Junlin suddenly asked. He had wanted to ask for a long time but did not before.

In this world, there were too few people with the surname Lan. Although Father Lan had the dark skin of a peasant, his words, actions, and elegant temperament were still there.

"Yes, but that's all in the past. The Lan family no longer exists, so there's no point in talking about it. If you want to announce Keqin's identity, just do it. Don't worry about our thoughts. The only thing we can't let go of is Keqin's safety. So after you announce her identity, please protect her more in the future, whether she wakes up or not."

Father Lan said again that the only thing he was worried about now was that after Lan Keqin's identity was announced, she would be hunted down. No one could say for sure what happened in the royal family.

"I've thought about this for a long time. Don't worry, Uncle and Aunt. Since I've made this decision, I've never thought of letting anyone hurt Keqin."

Di Junlin said sincerely and guaranteed. He would only allow such a thing to happen once. He would never allow it to happen again.

"Junlin! There's something I'd like to discuss with you."

Mother Lan thought of something and said hesitantly.

"Auntie, if you have anything to say, just say it. There's no need to be polite."

"It's about Yueying."

When Mother Lan mentioned Cass Yueying, Di Junlin's face suddenly turned ferocious and bloodthirsty. Mother Lan knew that it was a little difficult but she still said, "I know that you are taking revenge on her but, not only is she my biological niece, she is also Keqin's biological sister. See if you... can spare her life."

Mother Lan knew that Di Junlin not only wanted Cass Yueying's reputation to be ruined but also wanted her to die.

To be honest, when they found out that someone had hurt Keqin, they did not let that person off either. They just did not expect it to be Cass Yueying.

"Impossible. Auntie, I will agree to anything you say. But Cass Yueying has hurt Qin'er. I cannot let her go. If I let her go once, there will be a second time."

Di Junlin's voice became stiff. There was no room for discussion.

Mother Lan looked at Father Lan. Finally, she said helplessly, "Actually, Yueying does not know that Keqin is her biological sister. If she knew, she would not have done such a thing. Why don't we give her a chance to turn over a new leaf? It will be enough for you to take revenge on her. Or you can wait for Keqin to wake up and see how she makes her decision."

Mother Lan had her own thoughts when she pleaded for Cass Yueying. which mother would plead for others even after hurting her own daughter? But she had no choice but to do so.

Cass Yueying was her biological niece and also the daughter of her biological brother. She was also Keqin's biological sister...

Di Junlin was struggling in his heart. She couldn't let go of Cass Yueying but Mother Lan was absolutely right. Cass Yueying was Keqin's biological sister. If she woke up and found out that he had killed her biological sister...?
