Yun Xi was displaced in the countryside for seventeen years. One day, she was found, only to tragically die on a rainy night.
She was forced to be a surrogate for her legitimate elder sister,...
Chapter 613
At this point, Chen Qiang sighed: "Speaking of which, we've met before, but unfortunately I didn't realize it at the time, otherwise you wouldn't have had to suffer like this."
Thinking about this, Chen Qiang still felt somewhat guilty.
She clearly saw Yunxi at the time, and she knew how much Yunxi looked like Zhong Jie, but for some reason, she didn't think about it in that way.
It wasn't until later, when Huo Shu came to Luoyang and suddenly mentioned this to her, that she remembered it.
Yunxi smiled, and squeezed Chen Qiang's hand: "Sister-in-law, I'm perfectly fine, nothing's wrong, and I even had a son, isn't that wonderful?"
Chen Qiang sighed, and couldn't help but sigh again. Her personality was exactly the same as Huo Shu's. She didn't care about those empty titles at all.
They truly are siblings.
"Okay, I don't want to think about it anymore. Anyway, you're back now."
As Chen Qiang spoke, she glanced at Yun Wan, who was not far away.
Yun Wan was followed by a large entourage of servants, all of whom were now surrounding her.
"Let's go, there's nothing to see here."

After touring around the Duke of Qin's mansion, it was time for the banquet to begin.
The banquet was held in the front yard, and the women walked hand in hand to the front yard in twos and threes.
Huo Shu was waiting at the door. When he saw Zhong Jie and Yun Xi coming over, he took two steps forward to greet them and led them to their seats.
As soon as Yunxi appeared with Huo Shu, she was noticed by the Duke of Qin: "Is this the little sister your family finally found?"
Huo Shu nodded slightly: "Yes."
The Duke of Qin looked her up and down, then smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Now that your sister is back, your mother has finally been able to resolve a knot in her heart, hasn't she?"
"Miss Huo, are you married? My eldest son is already married, but he also has a younger one, about your age, but he is a respectable person."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a voice rang out: "Dad, why do you push me out to everyone you meet? Is your son that worrying?"
The newcomer was a young man who had just come of age. He was handsome, and his fine clothes and jade crown added to his elegant demeanor that others did not have. His eyes were very bright, and although his expression was a bit irritating, it was strangely not annoying.
Duke Qin pulled her close and said with a smile, "Come, Miss Huo, what do you think of my Erlang?"
Yunxi twitched the corner of her mouth: "I think it's very good."
What was meant as a polite remark unexpectedly made the Duke of Qin's eyes light up, and his voice rose considerably: "Right! Miss Huo also thinks my son is quite good, right? Let's get to know him!"
As he spoke, Duke Qin slapped Shu Yi on the back, making him stumble. Huo Shu stopped him, preventing him from directly bumping into Yun Xi.
After regaining his footing, Shu Yi quickly took two steps back, cupped his hands, and said, "Miss Huo, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to."
"fine."
Yunxi felt that the phrase "Miss Huo" was a bit strange.
However, she'll soon be officially recognized as part of her family, so she should just get used to it now.
Just then, a murmur of conversation came from the side.
"This Miss Huo isn't someone's concubine, and she even has a child. Doesn't the Duke of Qin know that? Why is he sending his own son out?"
"That's right. To say that they value the status of the Yunnan Prince's Mansion is an overstatement, isn't it? The Qin State Duke's Mansion is just as good."
This sound naturally reached the ears of the Duke of Qin.
The Duke of Qin's expression stiffened slightly: "This...this is real?"
Yunxi nodded: "That's true."
She never wanted to have anything to do with the Duke of Qin's mansion, and it would be best if she could distance herself from it now.
Unexpectedly, after she said that, the Duke of Qin became even more excited: "Having children is good! Being able to give birth is good!"
Yunxi blinked.
A few veins appeared on Huo Shu's forehead, and his voice turned cold: "Duke of Qin, my sister's existence is not for anyone's family to carry on the family line."
