"Your Highness, the piano music in the East Palace last night...was it from you?"

Han Shuying, dressed in a crimson purple dress, looked at the high-spirited woman sitting in the carriage with an unclear expression.

"It's me, of course. The Imperial College will have a ten-day exam today, so I practiced the piano a little longer last night. What's the problem?" Hua Qingcheng glanced coldly at Han Shuying with a cold look in her eyes.

"Your Highness is diligent in study and progress, which is a good thing."

Han Shuying smiled wryly. This high-ranking princess was her son-in-law, and he'd originally called her mother-in-law, but fate had twisted her. They might not be enemies now, but... they probably couldn't be "friends" either, and certainly wouldn't be considered one of Nalan Qingcheng's "own people."

"I'm in a hurry to go to school. If you're just here to talk nonsense, then I won't keep you company!"

"Wait! Your Highness!"

When Hua Qingcheng was about to lower the carriage curtain, Han Shuying hurriedly called her.

"Could you tell me, Han, where the song Her Royal Highness played last night came from?" Han Shuying's tone was filled with a hint of suppressed urgency.

Hua Qingcheng thought that Han Shuying came for Han Yichen. Seeing Han Shuying's distraught look, and thinking that this woman was Sanlang's biological mother after all, Hua Qingcheng sighed slightly and did not make things difficult for her.

"Of course it was given to me by Achen."

Hua Qingcheng changed the subject, then continued, "It's just that 'one shouldn't advise others to do good until they've experienced their suffering'. Achen has never known who his biological father is, and having a mother is even worse than not having one. Achen has suffered too much. If you're hoping to get him to forgive you through me, I can't decide for him."

Han Shuying felt a slight pain in her heart when she heard this.

Han Yichen had actually been very well-behaved since childhood, and his teachers had taught him well in every aspect. He had a deep affection for her. It was a pity... she had never properly cherished this son, and had even hurt him severely for a man she shouldn't have loved...

Han Shuying's eyes were red, tears welling in them. She owed Han Yichen a debt, and she could only spend the rest of her life making amends for this son. However, if she didn't clarify some things, Han Shuying felt like she was going to die, and she probably wouldn't be able to rest in peace.

"Then... Your Highness, do you know... where did this piano music of Achen... come from?" Han Shuying asked, her voice trembling with a little nervousness due to nervousness.

"Where else could it come from? Of course it was given by his biological father, Long Yitian!" Hua Qingcheng said speechlessly.

Even Long Yitian, the biological father he had just met, was far superior to Han Shuying, his biological mother. He talked with him, taught him martial arts, and even passed on his own breathtaking piano music to him. Han Shuying, on the other hand, was truly unfit to be a mother...

"Dragon...Long Yitian?!"

Han Shuying's phoenix eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at Hua Qingcheng in the carriage in disbelief, but the expression on the other person's face did not seem to be joking at all.

"Long Yitian..."

"It's him...how could it be..."

Han Shuying staggered back two steps, looking greatly shocked.

"Of course it's my brother-in-law. Just ask, who else in this world can write such an extraordinary and heavenly sound? It's only the leader of the Ancient Tomb Sect - Long Yitian!"

(Although Long Yitian and Feng Lingyan called each other brothers, Hua Qingcheng knew Yang Aoxue first, so she called Long Yitian "brother-in-law".)

Hua Qingcheng's decisive answer immediately became the last straw that broke Han Shuying's heart.

Upon hearing this, Han Shuying collapsed on the busy street. She closed her eyes slightly, tears streaming down her face, and her beautiful face looked sad and mournful.

Eighteen years ago, on the night of October 15th, Han Shuying met Long Yitian, a handsome man with flowing hair and fluttering clothes, in front of a thatched cottage at the foot of Zhongbei Mountain. He was also a man of unparalleled handsomeness and a cool and elegant temperament.

Under the bright moonlight, the man in white was as beautiful as a banished immortal. Han Shuying, drugged by the Western Region Hehuan Powder, mistook Long Yitian for Ouyang Yuming under its hallucinogenic and aphrodisiac effects. Not only did she lose his innocence, she also became pregnant with his child.

Who could have imagined that eighteen years ago, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, she heard a breathtaking melody by the Dongyang Lake, and the man she fell madly in love with and searched for so desperately was none other than Long Yitian!

"Hahaha……"

Han Shuying laughed out of anger.

If the man playing the zither was Long Yitian, then what was the point of her eighteen years of infatuation with Ouyang Yuming? Han Shuying suddenly felt that her life was simply a huge joke!

Recalling the morning after a night of bliss with Long Yitian, the look of sadness, despair, shame and indignation on the face of the beautiful man in her arms, Han Shuying felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife...

It turned out that all along, she had not only loved the wrong person, but she had also personally hurt the man she truly loved. As for the son she had hated for seventeen years, he was actually the son of the man she loved in her heart...

…

"Good sister, let's go! We'll be late for school soon!"

Hua Qingcheng glanced at Han Shuying, who was slumped on the street with tears streaming down her face, looking devastated. She slowly withdrew her gaze without saying a word, and let Wuchen drop the carriage curtain.

Han Shuying...is she repentant?

But if I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have done it in the first place!

Long Yitian and Sister Yang have a very close relationship. Although Sister Yang does not mind that Long Yitian has lost his innocence, for Long Yitian, who has lived in an ancient tomb since childhood and has an introverted and indifferent temperament, the fact that Han Shuying took away his innocence is a scar that will never go away in his heart.
