Having figured this out, she turned and disappeared down the street…
As she approached her home, she saw seventeen or eighteen soldiers guarding her door from afar, and the neighbors seemed to be frightened by the sight and gathered around to watch!
Seeing this, Qin Qing's heart tightened, and she quickly walked over, her mind racing as she wondered if she had offended anyone recently. No way! Could it be... No! Even that young man she had dealt with at the academy shouldn't have been able to find out her address so quickly!
As she walked, her expression grew increasingly grave. If this were to happen, the home she had finally managed to settle down in would be gone again! Would they have to continue wandering? They had finally made it to the capital.
The gate was still open, and the soldiers at the gate had serious expressions, which was enough to prove the seriousness of the matter!
When she stood in front of the crowd, the scene she saw through the soldiers was completely different from what she had imagined!
Xiao Muyue and Xiao Muxing hid behind the peony, watching the man in front of them warily. The young Qin Zifeng also firmly protected Xiao Muxing, his eyes full of vigilance.
The two little ones peeked out from behind them, their heads peeking out with a mixture of confusion and apprehension as they looked at the large, seemingly simple-minded man in military uniform before them…
Because the two men had their backs to Qin Qing, she couldn't see their faces. Filled with anxiety, her brows were furrowed, and her eyes were constantly scanning for any openings in their movements. If they dared to make a single move, she would definitely rush in and deliver a fatal blow!
As she was thinking, she suddenly heard a familiar voice…
"Big brother... Mother doesn't seem to be here. The address is correct, but this boy doesn't look like Ah Yang!"
The honest and strong man was taken aback when he heard this, and looked at Qin Zifeng with a complicated expression. After all, they had been separated for almost three years. Children change every year, so it was possible that they looked different now!
Then he saw the little girl behind Qin Zifeng. Xiao Muxing's face looked exactly like Zhang He's, especially her big, bright eyes. They were so similar!
"No! It must be A-Yang!"
As soon as the firm voice fell, the strong man slowly took two steps forward, and then his outstretched hand trembled slightly.
"Child...I'm your father!"
Qin Zifeng was taken aback, then looked at him with some confusion…
It wasn't that he was overthinking it; he and the man in front of him looked almost identical, and besides… he said he was his father! Was he really him?
The boy pursed his lips and answered without hesitation.
"Big Tree...you've mistaken me for someone else! My father...is long dead!"
Although he didn't remember very clearly, his mother had told him when he was little that his father was dead.
To everyone's surprise, the man in front of him trembled upon hearing this, his eyes welled up with tears, and his voice became choked with emotion...
"Child, did your mother say that? I knew it, she's blaming me! Blaming me for leaving when you were so young. I'm sorry! Father knows he was wrong!"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, looked up and looked around, but the timid and gentle woman from his memory did not appear.
"Child, where is your mother? Where is she?"
Qin Zifeng was completely baffled. He had known since childhood that he didn't look like his mother, so he must look like his father. The man in front of him didn't resemble him at all. It couldn't be his father, let alone his uncle!
"Uncle, you've really mistaken me for someone else. My mother has been dead for several years..."
Upon hearing this, the strong man in front of him trembled instantly, his legs went weak, and he staggered backward, tears streaming down his face, his expression filled with disbelief and sorrow…
"She...is already dead?"
Seeing the man so dejected, his whole body filled with a mixture of regret and remorse!
At this moment, Qin Qing, who was standing at the door, finally realized his identity. Even though she hadn't seen the two men's faces clearly yet, she roughly understood what was going on!
Then a smile appeared on his face. He figured his silly son should have received the letter by now…
She was about to walk over when she suddenly remembered something and stopped in her tracks. She watched them chat with great interest, and when she saw that he had mistaken her son for someone else, she couldn't help but laugh. She decided to stand at the door and watch the show.
Xiao Muxing and Xiao Muyue were firmly protected behind her, their big eyes fixed on the heartbroken man with a face full of honesty and kindness...
Xiao Muxing scratched her head, looking puzzled. This uncle looked so familiar. She couldn't remember where she had seen him before, but he seemed to have a vague recollection of her. Who was he?
At this moment, Qin Zifeng felt extremely helpless. His mother had been dead for at least five years, and this man had clearly mistaken her for someone else. Yet he was still so heartbroken. If his father were really alive, wouldn't he be furious?
"Uncle, I'm really not your son!"
Hearing his stubbornness, Mu Shen's eyes turned red, thinking he was angry and complaining, and he said in a choked voice.
"You say I'm not your father, but what about them? They're your sisters, right?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Zifeng nodded subconsciously. Xingxing and Yueyue were indeed his sisters!
Seeing this, Mu Shen became even more excited!
"If that's the case, then I must be your father! The one behind you... is that Mu Xing? I am your father! Your mother is Zhang He, and I am your father, Mu Shen!"
The young man beside Mu Shen remained silent, watching the scene quietly. When his older brother finished saying Zhang He's name, the boy and the little girl behind him looked shocked. Clearly, his older brother was right!
If that's the case, is he really overthinking things?!
"Brother, please don't get agitated, you might scare the children!"
Mu Shen was taken aback upon hearing this, and a hint of panic appeared in his bloodshot eyes.
"I'm...I'm sorry, Dad, I didn't mean it!"
Seeing this, Mu Bo shook his head helplessly, then turned to look at Shaoyao with a gentle smile on his face.
"Young lady, may I ask who you are...?"
Peony was also startled by Mu Shen's expression just now, and coupled with what he said, her heart was full of suspicion and wariness! Seeing Mu Bo's gentle expression now, she calmed down a little!
"I am their aunt, the goddaughter my mother adopted! Are you really my mother's sons?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Bo suddenly realized what was going on, and looked at Qin Zifeng with a puzzled expression.
"I think I understand now. This child must also be the godson that Mother adopted, right? When we left, Mu Yang was already six or seven years old. He couldn't have changed that much!"
Peony nodded, but when she looked at Mu Shen, the guarded look in her eyes did not fade at all... She continued to ask.
"How can I trust you? A father who would mistake his own son for someone else?"
Seeing her like this, Mu Shen felt even more embarrassed and anxious, and could only turn his gaze to Mu Bo, after all, his younger brother had more ideas...
Seeing this, Mu Bo smiled, feeling even more gratified. His mother's judgment was truly remarkable; this little girl showed no intention of abandoning the children despite the sudden appearance of strangers, clearly showing her thoughtfulness.
