Xiao Lingyu ate his dinner slowly and leisurely, his mind already racing with thoughts.
Xingyi is Xiaojiu’s eldest nephew, so his mother is Princess Fu’an!
Then the fact that her Xiao family was exiled to Anyang County is quite intriguing...
But, could it be that the old Emperor Dongjun only had one daughter? Xingyi's mother could also be another princess.
Xiao Lingyu glanced sideways at Xiao Xier who was drinking chicken soup in big gulps. Xiao Xier immediately told her whether it was true or not.
Xiao Xier had a lot to say, so she ate much faster than usual.
The mother and her two children put down their chopsticks almost at the same time.
Xiao Lingyu led the siblings into the inner room, and Xiao Xier said, "Our previous guesses were all correct. Xiao Jiu and the others not only tricked Big Brother into drawing a portrait of Daddy, but they also drew separate drawings of the lotus birthmark before and after bathing."
"Luckily, big brother didn't draw a picture of Daddy emerging from the bath."
"Third brother, big brother will definitely not draw a picture of daddy coming out of the bath. After all, it's not elegant!"
Su Ningwen nodded. "You're right. Just based on his appearance and the lotus birthmark, it's certain that Daddy is Xiaojiu's eldest nephew. Oh, and Daddy's biological mother also died in childbirth?"
"The old emperor didn't say anything, he just said that Daddy looks like his precious daughter, Princess Fu'an!"
boom!
It’s confirmed!
Xingyi is really the son of Emperor Qianyuan!
"Dad believed what they said without any doubt?"
Xiao Xier said, "Daddy doesn't believe it so easily. He asked them to produce other evidence to prove that he is Princess Fu'an's son, but they couldn't produce any at the moment. My nephew Xiaojiu mentioned Daddy's quilt, but he was wrong. There was a phoenix on Daddy's quilt, not a dragon's claw. Daddy directly denied that he was Princess Fu'an's child."
"Then why did your father admit that he believed what they said?" Xiao Lingyu asked.
"A man named Dongfang came in a hurry to see the old emperor. He said he had something concerning Daddy, so the old emperor went to see him. In less than half a cup of tea, the old emperor hurried back and told Daddy about the Pisces Lotus Jade Pendant."
"Mother, this Mr. Dongfang is suspicious." Su Ningwen couldn't help but frown. "How did he know that Daddy has this Pisces Lotus Jade Pendant?"
Xiao Lingyu nodded. "This person is indeed suspicious. Our previous speculations have proven to be correct! Then let's guess who this Mr. Dongfang is. My mother and I didn't know about this jade pendant before. Who else could know about it besides your father?"
"Grandpa must know!" Xiao Xier blurted out.
"That's right! But your grandfather is gone. Who else would know?"
Xiao Xier said, "Village Chief, no, it's not him! I overheard that Mr. Dongfang is very mysterious, has good martial arts skills, and knows some kind of metaphysical divination."
"That can only be Daddy's master." Su Ningwen said sincerely, "My eldest brother said that Daddy's martial arts and hunting skills were all taught by Daddy's master. Aside from Grandpa, Daddy has the closest relationship with his master."
"Then Mr. Dongfang might be Daddy's master! But, the possibility is not high!"
"Sister, why do you say that?"
"...Since Daddy's master loved Daddy so much, why didn't he show up during those two years when Daddy was blind and disabled?"
"This..." Su Ningwen pondered for a moment, "He may be dead like grandpa, or he may have been tripped up by something. I am more inclined to the latter and believe that Mr. Dongfang is my father's master."
"That's possible. He's in Dongjun, and it's not easy for him to come to Beiyi."
Su Ningwen suddenly thought of something when she heard this, and said to Xiao Lingyu, "Mother, whether Mr. Dongfang is my father's master or not, we will know sooner or later. I am a little confused now."
"Oh?" Xiao Lingyu liked the way Su Ningwen thought seriously. "Tell me, what's confusing you?"
Su Ningwen glanced at Xiao Xier. "My sister's home is in Nankun. Daddy brought her back and said he found her on Wufeng Mountain, right where he found my big brother. And my big brother, didn't he fall off the cliff with my aunt? How did Daddy find my big brother on Wufeng Mountain?"
"I know what happened. I found out the last time I flew back to Nankun. I died right after I was born, and my family witnessed my burial. I might not have been completely dead, so the bad guys dug me out and threw me to Beiyi, and then to Wufeng Mountain. I was destined to be Daddy's daughter, so Daddy picked me up and raised me."
"As for Big Brother falling off the cliff... he might have been saved by a kindhearted person, but Big Brother was such a voracious eater, maybe that kindhearted person couldn't afford to keep him and just dumped him on Wufeng Mountain to fend for himself. Big Brother was lucky... that's why we were Daddy's children!"
Su Ningwen felt that what she said made sense, but also felt it was too coincidental!
He and his second brother were both from Huayang County, so it was normal for them to be murdered and thrown into a mass grave.
The eldest brother and sister are very abnormal!
Xiao Lingyu didn't expect Su Ningwen to notice the problem. Seeing that he was frowning, he reached out to help him smooth his eyebrows.
"Don't think too much about this. It's fate that you two became brother and sister. Now just wait for your father to come back."
"Yes, mother, I know!"
"Xiao Xi'er, did your father say when he would be back?"
"Three days at the earliest!"
It would take at least half a month to get back to Huayang County. "Brother Wen, your father may not be able to make it back in time to take you to the Tongsheng exam."
"Then I'll pass the exam and give Dad a surprise!"
"Then you have to work hard!"
"Third brother, you are so smart. You have been studying with your father, the scholar, these days. Why did you only pass the exam to become a student instead of becoming a scholar?"
"Sister, even though I'm smart, I may not do well in the exam!"
He's only five years old! Trying to show off by competing for the title of Scholar is not a good thing!
After all, God is jealous of talented people, so he has to be low-key and hide his shortcomings!
He would have to wait until his father passed the imperial examination and became an official in Beijing before he would consider this matter.
"Okay, kids, enough talking. Let's go to bed early today, especially Xiao Xier. You got up early to get the news and haven't slept a wink since then. You must be exhausted."
"Ah! I'm not tired. I can still go out and fly a few laps." Xiao Xier said as she climbed onto the bed and soon began to snore...

When the Queen of Dongjun learned that her grandson was already in the palace, she could not wait to see him tomorrow, so she got up and went to Shangguan Mochen's bedroom.
"Mother, you can't be in a hurry. Xingyi has been traveling all the way by boat and is tired. He is resting now. When he wakes up, I will bring him to see you." Shangguan Yu coaxed her while holding her body tightly.
"Then let Xingyi have a good sleep. You can all have dinner here..."
When Su Xingyi woke up and opened his eyes, he saw Shangguan Mochen looking at him with a loving face.
"Grandfather!"
Su Xingyi quickly sat up.
"Xingyi, your grandmother knows you're already in the palace. She can't wait until tomorrow and wants to see you today. So, let's go with your grandfather to see your grandmother, right?"
"good!"
