"I'll go take a look ahead." Qi Yunxiao got up and walked forward.
In the front yard, a guard was negotiating with the Imperial Guard.
The Duke of Wei's guard said, "My master wishes to see Princess Qingyu."
Dragon Guard: "You think you can just see Princess Qingyu whenever you want?"
The Duke of Wei's guard said, "My master suspects that he is Princess Qingyu's father."
The Dragon Guard drew his sword with a clang!
"You audacious scoundrel! How dare you take advantage of Princess Qingyu?! Brothers, charge! Beat him to a pulp!"
When Qi Yunxiao arrived at the front yard, he saw two groups of people facing each other with swords drawn, and in the middle stood a middle-aged man in brocade robes and a jade crown, waving his hands to both sides.
"Don't do it! Don't do it! We're all on the same side! We're all on the same side..."
"Where did you come from, you madman? How dare you take advantage of our princess? Don't you have a death wish?"
The middle-aged man waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no! Not at all! I am the Duke of Wei! I heard that this Princess Qingyu is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Wei's mansion, so I came to inquire because I had some doubts..."
The guard was genuinely startled. He hesitated and asked, "Are you the Duke of Wei? Where is your identification token?"
Duke of Wei: "The token was lost overseas."
"Then who knows who you are?!" The Dragon Guard immediately lost faith, and his murderous aura intensified.
Duke Wei scratched his head: How can I prove that I am me?
This is actually a big problem!
"Could I please see Princess Qingyu?"
We'll only know if she's our daughter after we meet her!
Qi Yunxiao then spoke leisurely, "Let him come over."
Duke Wei looked at Qi Yunxiao, who had his hands behind his back: "You are Qi Yunxiao, the Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial?"
Qi Yunxiao cupped his hands in apology: "I'm sorry, you can't prove your identity, so I can only ask you to come over first, and we can talk after you meet the person."
Duke Wei nodded repeatedly: "Good, good, good!"
So Qi Yunxiao led the middle-aged man inside. Shen Qingyu was setting out chopsticks and greeted him without even looking up, "Have you finished watching the show? Go wash your hands and eat."
Qi Yunxiao didn't reply. Shen Qingyu was surprised. When she looked up, she realized that Qi Yunxiao had brought someone with him.
The middle-aged man peeked out from behind Qi Yunxiao, and upon seeing Shen Qingyu, exclaimed in surprise, "Daughter!"
Shen Qingyu was even more shocked: "Father?!"
Duke Shen Zhongyi of Wei was so excited that he trembled. He rushed forward two steps and hugged Shen Qingyu tightly, his voice choked with emotion: "Daughter, your father has finally found you..."
Shen Qingyu felt her shoulder get wet instantly. Her heart was pounding, but when she looked up, she saw Qi Yunxiao's shocked expression and was immediately startled!
Oh no!
Qi Yunxiao is right next to me, so I mustn't give myself away!
"Are you really my father? Husband, is this my father?" Shen Qingyu called out to Qi Yunxiao in an exaggerated voice, while pretending to push Shen Zhongyi away with one hand, but secretly pinching his navel.
"Oh dear, you child..." Shen Zhongyi was about to complain when he turned his head and saw Qi Yunxiao. He realized what was happening and quickly changed his mind, "I really am your father. Why did you push me away?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Yunxiao quickly pulled his wife back to his side.
That's more like it!
Shen Qingyu was switched at birth and has never met her biological father, so how could she possibly recognize him at a glance?
Shen Zhongyi suppressed his excitement, turned back to look at Qi Yunxiao, and opened his mouth to prove that he was indeed Duke Shen Zhongyi of Wei.
But before he could even say it, he knew that it wouldn't be easy to convince Qi Yunxiao.
Oh well, they're going back to Daqi anyway. Once they get to the capital, plenty of people will recognize him.
Since we've already found a daughter, there's no rush.
Shen Zhongyi's changing expressions revealed the emotional turmoil of an old father.
Qi Yunxiao was initially skeptical, but now he's about 80% convinced.
Shen Zhongyi finally looked at the table full of food and said longingly, "Um, I haven't eaten yet either."
Without hesitation, Shen Qingyu added another set of chopsticks and a bowl: "Then let's eat together."
Qi Yunxiao felt unwell all over. He watched as Shen Zhongyi sat down and picked up his bowl without any hesitation, even urging Qi Yunxiao to sit down and eat.
Qi Yunxiao: Am I the outsider?!
The meal almost brought Shen Zhongyi to tears again: This familiar taste, no, this even better taste than before, he hadn’t tasted it in a long time!
It's definitely my daughter.
My daughter used to make these dishes often when we were at home.
"Delicious! Mmm... So delicious! It's been so long since I've had such good food..." Shen Zhongyi wolfed down his food, and only after he finished three bowls of rice did he realize that Qi Yunxiao and Shen Qingyu hadn't even finished their bowls of rice.
Well……
Shen Zhongyi felt unusually embarrassed. He got up and walked out, saying, "I brought some things with me. Wait a moment, daughter, I'll bring them in for you."
Shen Zhongyi strode out again.
Qi Yunxiao looked at Shen Qingyu with deep eyes.
Shen Qingyu tactfully picked up some food and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Qi Yunxiao did not respond.
Shen Qingyu placed two more pieces of food into Qi Yunxiao's bowl: "Eat! What are you looking at?"
Qi Yunxiao ultimately kept quiet and didn't ask any questions.
He had a feeling that even if he asked, Shen Qingyu would not tell the truth.
Never mind, we'll talk about it when she wants to.
Before long, Shen Zhongyi strode in again, carrying a box about a foot long in his hands.
"Daughter, this is the best batch of jewelry I collected overseas this time. Take a look and see which ones you like." Shen Zhongyi said, stuffing the box into Shen Qingyu's arms.
