Chapter 481 - The Empress Of Ji Dynasty, Right?
Su Luozhang looked at his granddaughter and said, " We will have lunch later. I had someone to prepare a sumptuous meal for both of you. I won't let you guys starve. But for now, go upstairs. I need to say something important to Ms. Xie."
Su Jin frowned, wondering what her grandfather wanted to talk to Xie Ming when he met her for the first time.
She glanced at Xie Ming who nodded and gave her signal that it's fine. In the end, she reluctantly went to her room leaving the two people alone in the room.
" Grandfather Su, do you have something to say…." Xie Ming stared at the old man in daze and tried to know what he had to say to her.
But before she could continue, he interrupted her and said, " Zhao ming, right? The Empress of the Ji Dynasty?"
The old man casually sat on the chair placed in the room and looked at Xie Ming smugly.
Xie Ming was stunned when she heard his words. Though this person has the same face as her uncle but he can't be the same
He was not that old. But how did he know her real name? And how come he knows about the Jin dynasty?
Xie Ming didn't say for a minute and just stared at the man in front of her in daze.
Su_' s lips curled upwards seeing Xie Ming's expressions.
" Wha..what are you saying? Who is Zhao Ming? I don't know what you are trying to say." She played dumb trying to not spill the beans herself
Su _ 's expressions softened seeing her perplexed expressions. " Mrs. Jin, you must be confused why I wanted to meet you when I don't even know you. Right?"
Xie Ming pursed her lips and nodded. It's strange for him to meet her so eagerly that he asked Su Jin to invite her for a meal.
That too, to the countryside.
" Please take a seat first. After all, you're the royalty. How can I let you keep standing?"
Xie Ming frowned hearing his words. She somehow felt that he was mocking her. But she decided to not kind his words.
Because he knows about her real identity. He called her Zhao Ming. It means he knows about something.
She took a deep breath and took a seat opposite to him.
" Grandfather Su, will you please tell me now, why do you want to meet me?"
' And how do you know that I am Zhao Ming?' though she didn't speak this out loud.
Su _ nodded and said, " Mrs. Jin, do you remember the pregnant woman whom you treated on the road back then? "
Xie Ming frowned and nodded.
' Why does everyone keep asking about that incident?'
" I was there when you were treating that woman back then. I saw the way you used acupuncture to give first aid to the woman. " A faint smile appeared on his face when he thought about it.
" Oh." Xie Ming was not expecting this.
" But at that time someone else was also there with me."
Xie Ming raised her brows and looked at Grandfather Su questioningly.
His lips curled upwards and continued, " Two months ago when I went to meet my granddaughter at her hospital, I met a woman outside the hospital. She was dressed quite….strangely."
" It seemed like she was wearing the costume of a historical drama." He chuckled as he said this.
Xie Ming frowned and realized that it was two months ago that she came into this world.
But she was in Xie Ming's body. Then about whom Mr. Su is talking about?
" Grandfather Su, what are you trying to say? I can't understand your meaning clearly."
Su_?looked at Xie Ming and continued," That woman seemed like she was in her early 40s. She was wearing strange clothes and was looking out of the place."
" She was looking pale and extremely weak. When I went to her to ask if she was fine, do you know what she called me?"
Xie Ming's frown deepened and asked, " What?"
" Husband."
" And the funniest thing is, my wife died ten years ago." He let out a chuckle but sad expressions were obvious on his face.
Xie Ming's mouth opened in shock. It took her time to register things.
She realized that Grandfather Su's face is similar to her Uncle Li.
But...it wasn't her aunt ,right?
" Did that woman tell you her name? Where is she now? Is she still here?" Xie Ming's hand started to sweat upon thinking of the possibility that it might be her aunt.
" Yes. She told me her name. It's Shen Jia."
Xie Ming's eyes welled up hearing the name of the woman. It's her aunt.
" Where is…"
Before Xie Ming could ask again, Grandfather Su said, " She is not here anymore. She went back to her place. However, the time she stayed here, she told me many things about her world. Especially about you. Seems like your aunt really cares about you, Zhao Ming."
" Is it okay for me to call you Zhao Ming? Or should I say Your Majesty?" Grandfather Su joked as he stared at Xie Ming.
Xie Ming pursed her lips and a tear made its way to her cheeks.
" You can call me Xie Ming. Afterall, I am Xie Ming now." She said with a choked voice.
" Grandfather Su, will you tell me about my what? What happened and how she came here??I want to know if she is fine now or not? Moreover, does she know about anything? How I came into this world and became Xie Ming?"
Xie Ming asked a series of questions to Grandfather Su. There are many questions in her heart of which she wants an answer.
She wanted to know if she could spend her entire life as Xie Ming or have to go back after some time.
Her life has finally come on track and she couldn't bear to leave Liwei and go back to the palace.
