The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 406 Do you know who my father is?

"I heard that your hometown is near the border?"

"Yes, White Rock Town."

Xuanming thought about it, as if wondering how far Baishi Town was from here.

"Are your parents from Baishi Town?"

Erbao pursed his lips, not knowing why Xuanming asked him these questions, but he still said honestly, "I don't have a father, my mother is from Baishi Town."

"No father?" Xuanming paused while holding the teacup, "Didn't your mother tell you about it?"

Erbao looked at Xuanming with burning eyes, "What exactly does Divine Doctor Xuan want to know?"

Xuanming put the cup on the table, his eyes were very honest, "I won't hurt you, you should know this."

Erbao lowered his eyes slightly, making it impossible to tell his emotions. He also had some guesses in his mind, but...

"You were trained by Xiaojiu. No matter what, you are all one of us. I have my reasons for asking you these questions. I will never harm you."

"I know." After thinking for a while, Er Bao said, "My mother never got married. After she gave birth to me, she was laughed at and almost tied up and thrown into a pig cage by the tribe members. Later, the tribe leader spared her life because my grandfather had done him a favor. But because of this, my mother was expelled from the tribe and had to leave. My mother was weak to begin with. Without the protection of the tribe members, she had to feed me, and with her reputation... She could only do the hardest work and earn the least money to raise me until I was five years old. Her health was very poor, and a simple typhoid fever took her life."

At this point, the child, who usually kept his emotions to himself, also had tears in his eyes. Xuanming did not interrupt him and listened to him continue.

"Later, I could only beg for a living. This lasted for two or three years until I met my master. She took me away from Baishi Town, taught me skills, taught me how to read, and gave me food. My master is like my relative. I don't know much about my father. I only heard from my mother that he was a soldier."

"A soldier?" Xuanming's eyes flickered. "Do you know his name?"

Erbao shook his head, "My mother never said that."

"Does anyone in the tribe know about this?"

Erbao still shook his head, "My mother didn't even tell me, let alone tell them."

"Then your father never gave your mother any token of love?"

Erbao still shook his head, "Divine Doctor Xuan, do you know," he pursed his lips, "who my father is?"

Xuan Ming did not hide it, "I have some guesses, but there is really no evidence. You can't assume that you are a member of their family just because you look similar."

"Is it General Ye?"

Xuanming looked at Erbao with admiration, "Guessed it?"

Erbao looked a little uncomfortable. "Before, Brother Dongzi and the others said that I looked a bit like General Ye and General Ye, and they even joked that I was their child who was stranded outside. Since you asked me this question, I guess it must be them."

"Indeed, General Ye had a youngest brother who died on the battlefield sixteen years ago. Your eyes are almost exactly like his."

“Dead...dead?” Erbao’s voice trembled a little.

Xuanming sighed, "The Ye family has been guarding the border for Daqing for generations, and the men in their family almost all ended up on the battlefield. General Ye's youngest brother was only twenty when he died, very young, and a rare talent."

Erbao fell into deep thought. If it was really that person, then it could explain why he never went back to look for his mother. It turned out that he was already dead...

Seeing that his expression was not right, Xuan Ming comforted him, "Of course, these are just speculations, there is no evidence. And so many years have passed, I guess...it is not certain that we can find evidence."

Erbao suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Xuanming, "Before she died, my mother went to the clan leader and asked him to take care of me after she died. I remember that she gave the clan leader a jade pendant at that time. That jade pendant... didn't seem to be an ordinary item. Considering my mother's family background, it was impossible for her to have such an expensive thing. The old clan leader accepted it and took care of me for a few months as promised, but his son and daughter-in-law were not good people. They either beat me or scolded me. Later... I left on my own. If there really needs to be some proof, that jade pendant might be it."

"Is the old patriarch still alive?"

Erbao shook his head. "It's been many years. I don't know."

"You know the address, right?"

Erbao nodded, "It's Xinghua Village in Baishi Town. The clan leader's surname is Liu. You can find out by asking around."

"Okay, leave this to me."

Xuanming stood up and patted his shoulder, "Don't feel burdened. Whether it is true or not, you are Erbao, Xiaojiu's family, and a member of my Lingxiao Palace. Do you understand?"

Erbao nodded, "I know."

After Erbao left, Xuanming went to Ye Mingqi's tent, because he knew that Ye Feng must still be there at this moment.

He told Ye Feng everything about Erbao, and Ye Feng paced back and forth in the tent excitedly.

"Xinghua Village, Baishi Town?"

"Yes."

"The surname is Liu. OK, I'll have someone check it out right away."

Ye Feng touched the jade pendant on his waist, and seemed to be more certain about Erbao's identity. Because the youngest of them did have a jade pendant of the same style as him, and it should be said that all of their brothers had one, and even Ye Mingqi and Ye Tianyu had similar ones.

But when they collected his body, they didn't find the jade pendant. They also sent people to look for it but couldn't find it, thinking it was lost somewhere on the battlefield or picked up by someone.

Ye Mingqi looked at Xuan Ming, "Doctor Xuan, does Erbao know your intention of asking him these questions?"

Xuanming sighed, "Erbao is a very smart child. As soon as I asked him about his father, he guessed it. Moreover," Xuanming looked at the two of them, "the children around Erbao have joked that he looks a lot like General Ye and General Ye, and wondered if he was the lost child of the Ye family."

Ye Feng's eyes were red, "Look, even outsiders can see that this child looks like us, but we didn't even notice it."

Ye Mingqi could only speak to comfort him, "Dad, those involved are often confused, but fortunately it's not too late now."

Suddenly, Ye Feng slammed the table and said, "This kid wants to go to Xueling Town. No, it's too dangerous. We can't let him go."

"Dad, this has already been decided. The prince arranged it himself. Don't interfere."

"How can that be possible? Your uncle...if something happens to his offspring again, how can I, your father, face him in the underworld after a hundred years?"

Ye Mingqi rubbed his brows and said, "I'll arrange for someone to protect him secretly and nothing will happen to him. Is that all right?"

Ye Feng snorted coldly, "Your subordinates? Humph, maybe they are not as good as Erbao. You don't know, this kid is the princess's subordinate. That group of young men, huh, huh, huh, even Xingyi praised them endlessly."

Ye Mingqi rolled his eyes, "Then what are you worried about?"
