Meng Qianqian was startled.
She had speculated countless possibilities regarding the relationship between Lu Yuan and Consort Li, but she never imagined that Consort Li was his aunt.
After all, the Emperor referred to him as "Shangfu," which clearly placed them in different generations, didn't it?
Moreover, she had never heard that Consort Li had an elder sister; she only knew she had several brothers and younger siblings.
As though sensing Meng Qianqian's confusion, Lu Yuan said expressionlessly, "My mother is not from the Yao Family. Not many people know about my connection to Consort Li, not even the Emperor."
"I see."
That explained why, among so many princes, Lu Yuan chose to support Consort Li's son.
"Still, I don't quite understand. How could the Grand Commander's mother be Consort Li's sister and yet not be Yao Family's daughter?"
Consort Li's surname was Yao; she was the eldest daughter of the Yao Family.
Lu Yuan replied, "Same mother, different fathers."
