"Impossible!" Xie Xun abruptly stood up, his face changing drastically. "You're spouting nonsense. My second brother is a member of the Xie Family, he's my full-blood brother. Stop trying to confuse everyone."
"He is your full-blood brother, but he is also the only son of the Sannan Princess." Lin Helin dropped another bombshell, "He is also Sannan's first-in-line heir."
Xie Xun's head throbbed sharply, throwing him into chaos. How could this be possible? Aunt Mudan is the Princess of Sannan? No one at home had ever mentioned this. Aunt Lan had only teased Aunt Mudan for being pampered and overly particular. Aunt Mudan had never revealed she was of royal lineage. Did Father know?
Did Second Brother know?
With the Xie Family in rebellion, if anyone found out that Second Brother was tied to the Sannan Royal Family, it would be tantamount to forcing him into a death sentence! The Ningzhou Iron Cavalry's morale would collapse.
