"Yes, Fuan does have a lotus birthmark that's exactly the same as yours."
"How can you be sure it looks exactly like my birthmark?"
Shangguan Mochen pursed his lips slightly. "Last time, the uncle and nephew not only brought back your portrait, but also a portrait of your lotus birthmark. Oh, not just one portrait, but two. One is the portrait of the birthmark that has brightened in color during bathing, and the other is the normal color..."
Su Xingyi looked at the uncle and nephew. The uncle and nephew felt extremely guilty and did not dare to look directly into Su Xingyi's eyes.
One of them sat down to drink tea, while the other quickly rolled up the portrait in his hand.
Su Xingyi never expected that the uncle and nephew's ultimate goal was to lure him to Dongjun.
Needless to say, this portrait was painted by the two men who tricked Ang'er into doing it.
Only Ang'er knows the lotus birthmark on his body best and can draw it with his eyes closed.
"Xingyi, not only do you look like Fu'an, you also have the same lotus birthmark as Fu'an. This is enough to prove that you are my grandson!"
Su Xingyi looked at Shangguan Mochen again and found that the old emperor was somewhat similar to him.
"Cousin!" Shangguan Yunxiao changed his address. "We in the Shangguan family won't easily confuse bloodlines. You are our family. I am your cousin, and Xiaojiu is your uncle."
Su Xingyi listened to Shangguan Yunxiao's words and scanned the faces of the three people in turn.
No wonder he feels close to the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren.
Is it really because of blood?
Shangguan Mochen was anxious and worried when he saw that Su Xingyi had not responded yet. He thought that he needed time to digest it, so he waited patiently.
Soon, Su Xingyi spoke up: "Apart from my appearance and the lotus birthmark, is there any other evidence to prove that I am Princess Fu'an's son?"
Shangguan Mochen was delighted. The fact that his eldest grandson asked this question was enough to show that he believed it about 80%.
"Let me think about it."
As for other evidence, Shangguan Mochen couldn't remember it for the moment.
He also didn't know whether the child had any identification documents on him when he was picked up by the Su family.
"Your cousin discovered that you were not a simple person, so he secretly sent people to investigate you. You were picked up by the hunter Su Laodi from Guihua Village."
"Yes, cousin. I sent someone to investigate you carefully. You should have been wrapped in a swaddling cloth made of fine fabric, with a small yellow quilt embroidered with paws on one side. Am I right?"
After Shangguan Yunxiao finished speaking, he looked at Su Xingyi nervously.
He was not sure. His aunt was the Crown Princess and gave birth to the Crown Prince of Beiyi. She must have used the same small quilt embroidered with dragon claws as him.
When Xiao Xier overheard this, she felt that her father was not Princess Fu'an's child.
Daddy’s little quilt is embroidered with a phoenix, not dragon claws!
"No!" Su Xingyi shook his head. "My quilt is just a quilt made of ordinary fabrics. So it seems that I am not Princess Fu'an's child!"
Shangguan Mochen didn't believe it. "When your adoptive father took you home, did he tell you what your health was like as a baby?"
Su Xingyi said, "I'm very healthy and in good shape. My adoptive father raised me on goat's milk and rice soup, and I've hardly ever had a serious illness."
So the person behind the scenes killed Fu'an but spared the child?
Change him into an ordinary quilt and throw him to Guihua Village thousands of miles away, leaving him to fend for himself?
Shangguan Mochen felt that this was very possible!
"Child, why are you so obsessed with other evidence? Your appearance and birthmark are enough to prove that you are my grandson!"
"Yes, you are my eldest nephew, the cousin of my eldest nephew Yunxiao." Xiaojiu walked over and hugged Su Xingyi, trying to act coquettishly to make him believe it.
Su Xingyi rubbed Xiaojiu's little head and said, "How can you kiss someone so carelessly..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhao Da Nei's voice came in, "Your Majesty, Mr. Dongfang is here and said he has something important to say."
Shangguan Mochen frowned, "Is he anxious?"
"Mr. Dongfang said it concerns Mr. Su!"
Shangguan Mochen thought that this person was very mysterious. He had businesses in all four countries. Why did he come to see him at this time? Could it be that he knew the truth about Fu'an's murder?
"Okay, I'll go see him. Where is he?"
"In the private room opposite!"
Shangguan Mochen turned to Su Xingyi and said, "Xingyi, wait a moment, I'll be back soon."
After saying that, he turned and left the room, striding towards the private room opposite.
Su Xingyi quickly followed the lead and saw that the door of Mo Yunxuan, which was thirty steps away, was open. A middle-aged man in black clothes leaned sideways and saluted Shangguan Mochen, inviting him into the inner room. Soon, the door of Mo Yunxuan was slowly closed.
Who is Mr. Dongfang?
Wasn’t it very secretive for the old emperor to meet him?
How did he know that the person the old emperor met in the private room was him?
The man was leaning sideways and looked somewhat familiar.
"Cousin, this Zhaixing Tower is owned by Mr. Dongfang. He's quite mysterious," Shangguan Yunxiao explained. "It's said that he's well-educated, skilled in martial arts, and even knows the art of metaphysics and divination."
The art of divination?
Then can't we make the same calculation as Tai Zhuo?
No wonder he knew the old emperor was here to see him.
"Mr. Dongfang, what important matter do you want to tell me?"
Shangguan Mochen looked at the man wearing half a mask with an inquiring expression.
"Your Majesty, you want Master Su to accept the truth you told, but Master Su still doesn't believe it. So, Your Majesty should produce other evidence to prove it, right?"
This guy is really scary. "Did you figure this out again?"
Dongfang Yinzhang pursed his lips slightly. Ever since the uncle and nephew returned from Huayang County, he knew that the old emperor would abduct Xingyi.
"That's right, Your Majesty, do you still remember that you received a precious jade that year..."
"I understand!" Shangguan Mochen interrupted him, "Thank you, Mr. Dongfang, for reminding me."
After saying that, he hurried back to the private room opposite.
"Xingyi, when your adoptive father found you, you must have had a Pisces Lotus Jade Pendant on you, right?"
Su Xingyi opened his mouth in shock, speechless for a moment. He couldn't deny it.
He did have such a jade pendant, and his master had told him to keep it well. Even if he encountered difficulties or was starving, he would not sell it.
Seeing his reaction, Shangguan Mochen knew that he had the jade pendant. He suddenly burst into tears of joy and hugged Su Xingyi, "You are my grandson! There is no doubt about it! This Pisces and Lotus jade pendant was personally carved for Fu'an as a dowry for her before she got married. My grandson, you have suffered a lot over the years. Oh, my poor Fu'an..."
"Grandpa, don't cry. I've lived a happy life these years and haven't suffered any hardship..."
"What did you call me?" Shangguan Mochen quickly wiped away the tears in his eyes, stood up and looked at Su Xingyi expectantly, "Do you believe that I am your grandfather?"
"I do have the Pisces Lotus Jade Pendant you mentioned, but I didn't bring it with me, Grandfather. Do you believe me?"
"Of course I believe you. You are my grandson, no doubt about it. Do you believe what I say now?"
"I believe it!"
"Then call me grandpa."
"Grandfather!"
"Ah, my grandson!" Shangguan Mochen touched Su Xingyi's head lovingly, "You're so good!"
