Compared to the shameless and dissolute face he had in the restaurant before, he spoke much more pleasantly now.

However, Cui Yue still disliked him, snorted coldly and turned his head away.

Cui Xi didn't answer, but looked at Shen Yizhizi.

Shen Yizhi smiled and said to Zhan Yuchun who was busy eating chestnuts, "It seems that you are not good enough. The disciple you accepted is so petty. What is one thousand taels of silver? How can it make up for the hurt hearts of Sister Cui and the other girl?"

Zhan Yuchun: “…”

Xia Ben: “…”

"Give it all to her." Zhan Yuchun waved his hand.

Xia Ben presented all the silver and money including the purse.

Shen Yizi then nodded slightly to Cui Shi, and Cui Shi took it.

After the three of them left, Xia Ben slowly moved in front of Zhan Yuchun and knelt down with a plop. "Master, I am sorry to have caused you trouble."

Zhan Yuchun touched the top of his head like he was touching a puppy, "No, you have done a great deed this time."

She looked at a lotus flower in full bloom in the pond outside the window, her face showing an unfathomable expression.

Unfortunately, it failed in the next second.

She caught a glimpse of Xia Ben secretly reaching his hand into the bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts. She slapped his hand away: "What are you doing? You actually want to steal food from me? Are you itching again? Huh?"

Xia Ben licked his lips and said, "Master, you seem to be enjoying the food so much. I really want to have a taste. Can you give me one?"

Listening to his words, Zhan Yuchun felt inexplicably familiar.

After thinking for a while, she realized that this was what she had said when she asked Shen Yizhi for chestnuts.

After coming out of Yushan Hall, Shen Yizhi took Cui Xi and his sister to the house diagonally opposite.

As the daughter of the actual ruler of Qiandao Lake, would it be justified if she had no property here? The house across the street was where she stayed in Yufu City.

Although he hadn't been back for four years, the servants in the house were still working diligently and keeping everything in good condition.

When the housekeeper Uncle Peng saw her, he was so excited, "The girl is finally back."

He immediately welcomed her in person, and ordered the servants to serve her tea and snacks, and prepare hot water and other things.

Shen Yizhi looked at him with a smile on his face and full of energy, so he let him go.

After entering the hall, Shen Yizhi introduced Cui Xi and his sister: "Uncle Peng, this is Master Cui Xi, and this is his sister Cui Yue. They are all my friends."

Cui Xi looked at her suddenly. They had not told her their real names before, so how did she know them? Did Zhan Yuchun tell her? Uncle Peng's attention immediately fell on the two of them, and his enthusiasm shifted accordingly.

"Please take a seat, it's time for dinner. I'll have someone prepare it. Do you have any dietary restrictions?"

Cui Xi bowed and said, "Uncle Peng, you are too polite. We don't have any dietary restrictions."

"Then I, I'll go now."

Uncle Peng went to the kitchen with great enthusiasm.

In the hall, Shen Yizhi pointed to the chair opposite him and said, "Sit down. Be more casual. Don't be restrained."

Cui Xi and Cui Yue then sat down.

They had so many doubts in their minds, but they didn't know how to start.

Shen Yizhi took a sip of tea: "Are you wondering why I know your real names? Why did I get here in time? What's the matter with the big white frog that protected you? Why do I know Zhan Yuchun?"

Cui Yue nodded repeatedly, walked over from the opposite side and sat next to Shen Yizhi, leaning on the high table and looking at her: "Sister Shen, please tell us quickly."

Shen Yizhi pondered for a moment and said, "In fact, I guessed your true identity as early as when we were in Guikuiyuan. After some confirmation, it was confirmed. You must be feeling strange again, so let me tell you a story."

"Forty-four years ago, a young man from a big family went out for training and came to Qingmang Mountain in Hezhuzhou, Southern Region. He was injured and passed out. He was saved by the daughter of a hunter in the mountain. The woman's surname was Li Jiao Niang. She took the young man home and took good care of him. But when the young man woke up, he had lost his memory and could not remember anything from the past..."

Shen Yizhi told what he knew in the form of a story, and all the people involved, except Li Jiaoniang and Nian Nian, were referred to by pseudonyms.

So Cui Xi and Cui Yue were confused and didn't understand what it meant.

However, in the second half of the story, they feel more and more familiar.

"Nian Nian's twin brother who was taken away has never been liked by his parents since he was a child. You should know the reason. His father regards him as the evidence of his betrayal of his beloved. He hates him and never regards him as his own son. As for his mother, she is not his real mother, but his biological mother's rival. She hates him so much that how can she be good to him? "Fortunately, he is smart. After realizing his mother's hatred and even murderous intentions towards him, he started to discredit himself and did all kinds of ridiculous things. When he was older, his image of a romantic and dissolute playboy had been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

"But in fact, he had been secretly investigating his own life experience. He didn't believe that a mother would show such a deep hatred to her son. Unfortunately, his investigation still alarmed his mother. His mother was afraid that the things that happened that year would be exposed, so she wanted to kill him and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

"In an assassination attempt, he was seriously injured and was rescued by a girl." Speaking of this, Shen Yizhi couldn't help but smile slightly. History is always surprisingly similar.

"What happened next was just as you guessed. He married the girl and gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl."

Shen Yizhi looked at the brother and sister meaningfully.

Cui Xi's heart skipped a beat and he looked at his sister.

An astonishing guess emerged in their minds, but the guess was too unbelievable and they subconsciously wanted to deny it.

"Who is that young master?" Cui Xi's throat was a little tight and his palms were covered with cold sweat.

Shen Yizhi: "Haven't you guessed it? He is your grandfather, the current Lord of the Southern Territory, Cui Huo."

These words were like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, rumbling in the ears of the brother and sister, making their minds go blank, their ears buzzing, and they couldn't think for a long time.

Shen Yizhi also knew that this incident had brought them great shock, so he didn't say anything else and let them calm down.

After a long while, Cui Xi said in a daze: "So my father was not born by my grandmother?"

"That's right."
