Western suburbs, Earth God Temple.
Duanmu Junyu was so eager to see Su Renzhong that she couldn't wait even a moment longer than noon. After Wu Liping prepared the carriages and horses, she asked to go to the local temple.
In fact, Su Xuening and Su Yun'an also wanted to see Su Renzhong, so the whole family took a carriage to the Land God Temple in the western suburbs.
When the group arrived, they discovered that the local temple had long been abandoned and there was no one around.
Duanmu Junyu looked at Xuanyuan Zhan suspiciously: "Is he talking about this place?"
Xuan Yuanzhan couldn't be sure: "He just said it was the Earth God Temple in the western suburbs."
Wu Liping continued, "This is the Earth God Temple in the western suburbs. Before we left Northern Wei, it was a very popular place of worship. I never imagined that it would become like this in just twenty years!"
Twenty years have passed, and so much has changed.
Xuanyuan Zhan raised his eyebrows: "If there are no other local temples in the western suburbs, then this must be the place he's talking about."
Su Xuening looked around the dilapidated temple: "I think this is the place Father was referring to. If there are many people watching him, then this abandoned temple is quite suitable for our meeting."
If this were a normal temple, or even, as General Wu said, a place where incense burns brightly, how could the father have arranged to meet them here in order to avoid attracting attention?
Xuanyuan Zhan felt that Su Xuening's words made a lot of sense: "Your father probably wanted to find a place like this to meet with you. I don't think he has much freedom in the palace."
Xuan Yuanzhan's words made everyone frown.
Duanmu Junyu said with some heartache, "Isn't he a grandson of the Northern Wei emperor? Why isn't he free in the palace?"
Xuanyuan Zhan frowned: "I think that the Northern Wei emperor, besides wanting to protect his safety, also didn't want him to have contact with outsiders, fearing that he might regain his memory or learn the truth."
Duanmu Junyu narrowed her eyes. It seemed that the one who caused her to lose her memory was the Northern Wei emperor.
The group waited in the dilapidated temple for three hours, until noon, but no one came.
Duanmu Junyu started to get anxious again: "Why hasn't he come yet? Did something happen to him?"
Xuanyuan Zhan didn't know what was going on with Su Renzhong, but judging from his behavior last night, he probably wasn't just talking nonsense, and he should come: "Perhaps something really happened, but he should be able to find a way to get here. Let's wait a little longer."
No sooner had Xuanyuan Zhan finished speaking than the sound of horses galloping towards them could be heard.
"It's here!" Su Yun'an looked excitedly at the galloping black horse.
Everyone else turned to look at the newcomer.
As the black horse drew closer, Duanmu Junyu saw its tall figure from afar and knew it must be him.
Su Renzhong spotted Xuan Yuanzhan in the crowd and knew that they were the people he was going to meet today.
"Whoa!" Upon reaching the front, Su Renzhong reined in his horse and dismounted.
"Father!" Upon seeing Su Renzhong, Su Yun'an rushed towards him like a cannonball.
Su Yun'an rushed straight into Su Renzhong's arms, and Su Renzhong instinctively opened his arms and hugged him.
"Father, we've finally found you." Su Yun'an hugged Su Renzhong tightly, looked up at him with teary eyes, her gaze filled with longing.
Although Su Renzhong had never met this child, when he looked down at him, he felt his heart melt. Especially when the child looked at him with teary eyes and called him "Father," his heart ached uncontrollably.
Is this his son?
He doesn't look like him at all!
But for some reason, he felt a strange sense of closeness to him.
"Father, Mother and Sister are here too. They missed you very much." Su Yun'an pulled Su Renzhong and walked towards Duanmu Junyu and Su Xuening.
The moment Su Xuening saw Su Renzhong, tears welled up in her eyes: "Father..."
Su Xuening immediately threw herself into Su Renzhong's arms.
Su Renzhong stared blankly at the soft, delicate girl in his arms.
She called him father?
Is she his daughter?
This girl looks exactly like that boy from before; she doesn't resemble him at all!
He had met that boy named Xuanyuan Zhan alone before and thought that the boy would be a good son-in-law, but now that he has met this girl, he immediately felt that the boy was not good enough for his girl.
Seeing Su Xuening crying so sadly, Su Renzhong wanted to comfort her, but he was clumsy and didn't know how to do it. He could only look helplessly at Duanmu Junyu.
When Su Renzhong saw Duanmu Junyu's face, which looked exactly like the two children's, his heart felt like it had been ripped apart, a sharp, agonizing pain.
she……
Is she his wife?
These two children look just like her!
Although he had no recollection of her whatsoever, the moment he saw her, he was convinced that she was his wife.
She was his woman. Whether you say he fell in love with her at first sight or that he had a lingering subconscious attachment to her, the moment he saw her, he knew she was the one.
Duanmu Junyu also stared intently at Su Renzhong, looking into his familiar yet unfamiliar eyes, and she couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat: "You... really don't recognize me?"
"You are my wife." Su Renzhong blurted out without thinking.
Everyone was instantly jolted awake, their eyes widening in surprise.
Su Yun'an immediately burst into laughter through her tears, looking excitedly at Xuan Yuanzhan: "Brother-in-law, how could you say Father has amnesia? He clearly hasn't."
The father recognized the mother, and seemed to recognize him and his sister as well.
Xuanyuan Zhan also looked at Su Renzhong speechlessly.
He didn't lose his memory?
No way, he deliberately messed with him last night?
It doesn't really look like it!
Could it be that he regained his memory immediately upon seeing his mother today?
Duanmu Junyu looked at Su Renzhong with surprise and delight: "You still remember me? You haven't lost your memory?"
Su Renzhong shook his head sheepishly: "I have amnesia, I don't remember anything, but I believe in you, you are my wife and children."
Su Renzhong's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's heads.
So that's what it meant!
So he didn't regain his memory at all!
Su Yun'an said sadly, "Father, don't you remember us? I am Yun'an, my sister is Xue Ning, and there is also my mother, and General Wu is your subordinate. Don't you remember any of that?"
Su Renzhong scanned the names of the people Su Yun'an mentioned one by one, and then shook his head: "I'm sorry, I really have no memory of them."
He had absolutely no recollection of them, but he felt a certain familiarity with them.
This innate sense of familiarity was something he could never feel from his godparents.
So if he had a choice, he would choose to believe they were his family, not his godparents.
Su Xuening wiped away her tears, frowning as she looked at Su Renzhong: "Does Father know why he lost his memory?"
