Triplets: Lucky Mommy is a Beautiful Badass

Lu Yan did not want to ask the question, but he could not help himself. "...Do you really have keepsakes?"

"..." Qi Qingyao widened her eyes slightly and looked at Lu Yan with a half-smile.

Lu Yan's eyelids twitched. He said with raised brows and simmering eyes, "If you really have the keepsakes, what I'm curious about is why you haven't brought it out yet. Aren't you curious about your own parentage? Mo Yang's mother obviously had no other children. He's an only child. If you want to investigate your parentage, wouldn't the fastest method be to take out the keepsakes and investigate them? Shouldn't the answer reveal itself then?"

"That makes sense." Qi Qingyao was nonchalant, neither admitting nor denying it.

"Don't just keep saying it makes sense." Observing her attitude made Lu Yan suddenly feel agitated. Not waiting for Qi Qingyao to reply, his eyebrows sank and he said seriously, "Wait, let me guess, there's only one reason someone has a keepsake yet refuses to reveal it. The keepsake might be very unique! The moment it's revealed, your parentage will be made clear!"

Were they very unique? Qi Qingyao thought about the two items she had. She did not think that they were all that unique, but since Lu Yan had made such a conjecture, she had to admit it made some sense. She said, "You should continue guessing how unique it is. I wanna see how great your imagination is."

Lu Yan, "..."

She was giving him a chance to guess.

It seemed like...

"Judging by your appearance, your mom and your dad were certainly not ugly. Perhaps they're very beautiful people."

Lu Yan quietly continued, "There's a problem here. If you're really not a biological child of the Qi family, but were sent to them to be fostered along with some keepsakes, they must have been given silver to keep your identity a secret and pretend that you were their child. I've looked into it. After you were born, the Qi family's life inexplicably improved a lot, and they've eaten a lot more beef than they ever have. That means they had extra money after you."

"Continue using your imagination." Qi Qingyao said, in a calm and collected manner.

Lu Yan studied any microexpressions that appeared across her face seriously. "Some time ago, Madam Wu and Qi Boli deliberately came to the mansion. They told you that you weren't their biological child, then you guys talked alone. Although Old Man Qi and Madam Wu fought with you again afterward, the point of the conversation was to tell you your parentage, right?"

Qi Qingyao, "..." This man was indeed the young master of the Lu family. His intelligence was comparable to those two cunning men. They were all undoubtedly men with plenty of experience from Capital City!

Lu Yan's eyes were as sharp as a knife and as warm as fire. "And they also gave you the keepsakes..."

Qi Qingyao's jet-black eyes were cold, and they were glowing a raging fire. "You're so smart it's almost scary."

It seemed like his theories had been at least partially correct. Lu Yan smiled suddenly. "I just acquired enough clues to make some conjectures."

Qi Qingyao shrugged noncommittally.

Lu Yan felt encouraged. He raised his eyelids, his expression agitated. "Anyways, if you were sent to the Qi family with your keepsake and silver, this means that your family could have been being hunted, and might have fallen to the threat. Or maybe you're the child of a concubine in a big family residence. You were resented by the main wife and sent away, but still carried a keepsake with you."

A dark current streamed through Qi Qingyao's eyes.

She remained impassive.

She wanted to see how much Lu Yan could deduce before he saw the keepsakes.

Lu Yan said to himself, "But the second possibility does not hold. Because you're a girl, and not a son. Even if a concubine gave birth to you, there's no reason for a wife to think that a daughter of a concubine was a threat. Therefore, the chances of the second possibility being the case are extremely small."
