The years have left traces on his face, but they cannot hide his fine bones and handsome features. It is obvious what a stunningly handsome man he was when he was young.

It is said that the eldest daughter of the Cheng family fell in love with him at first sight at a poetry reading and vowed to marry him.

As the head of the Cheng family for thirty years, he has long been the undisputed patriarch of the Cheng family.

He carried the dignity and aura of a family head. The originally noisy people suddenly quieted down and spontaneously stepped aside to make way for him.

Xie Yunhe had just got off the carriage.

He came in front of Su Xiaoxiao and Mei Ji and glanced at them.

Manager Pang hurried down the steps, changed his previous arrogant attitude, and said respectfully: "Master, you are back."

He was about to explain what happened when he heard Xie Yunhe say calmly, "Bring the man into the mansion to talk."

Manager Pang was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what the master meant.

As the saying goes, family disgrace should not be made public. No matter whether the girl who comes to recognize her relatives is real or fake, she must not be laughed at by outsiders.

"Yes." He bowed in response.

Xie Yunhe strode into the mansion.

Manager Pang turned around and said to Su Xiaoxiao and the other person indifferently, "You two, follow me into the mansion and don't embarrass yourself outside!"

Mei Ji sneered: "You are the one who is embarrassing!"

Manager Pang's face darkened.

However, due to the huge crowds of onlookers outside, he could only suppress his anger.

The Cheng family is one of the four major families in southern Xinjiang. Its mansion has undergone several expansions, and the entire street outside belongs to the Cheng family.

"Well, the Cheng family is quite big." Mei Ji said.

The Western Jin Dynasty was a big country, and Mei Ji had been to countless luxurious mansions while following the First Advisor. The fact that she could praise the Cheng family as big showed that the Cheng family was indeed not small.

Manager Pang, who was leading the way in front, sneered disdainfully.

You can tell at a glance that you have never seen the world. It is your good fortune that I let you enter the Cheng family today! The group went to the flower hall of the outer house.

Xie Yunhe sat down in the main seat and did not let Su Xiaoxiao and the other person sit down as well.

His sharp eyes fell on Su Xiaoxiao.

Manager Pang came over, leaned over and reported in a low voice: "It is this girl who claims to be the daughter of the Cheng family..."

Although the master may have overheard what happened in the carriage, he still reported the incident in detail.

Xie Yunhe's eyes never left Su Xiaoxiao's face, and every expression of Su Xiaoxiao was visible to him.

Su Xiaoxiao did not deliberately provoke this cheap grandfather. She just let him look at her with a somewhat unfamiliar look as if she had just arrived.

“That’s about it.”

Manager Pang has finished his report.

"You can't be a member of the Cheng family." Xie Yunhe gave the conclusion without thinking, and didn't even ask to take a look at the token.

"Master Xie, are you so unwilling to recognize me?"

It doesn’t matter whether you call him grandpa or not, it’s just a show anyway. But it’s obviously not allowed to call him that right now, the character has to remain stable.

Xie Yunhe said seriously: "That baby girl was born stillborn."

"Have you ever held him in person, Mr. Xie?"

Su Xiaoxiao spoke calmly, with a questioning tone, "Master Xie, have you felt the child's pulse? Have you checked the child's breathing? Have you listened to the child's heartbeat? Did she cool down little by little in your arms?"

Manager Pang angrily shouted, "The midwife has tested it! It will be a stillbirth if it is born!"

A dead fetus cannot be buried in the ancestral tomb, nor can a tombstone be erected, and paper cannot be burned for worship. Generally, a hole is dug and the body is buried. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is thrown away.

But Old Master Cheng couldn't bear it, so he found a box to put the child in, and put some burial items in it.

Xie Yunhe's expression was calm as well: "You look neither like me nor your grandmother."

Fortunately, I guessed this question early.

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, "We are a generation apart. People have said I look like my father since I was a child."

Xie Yunhe: "Where's the bracelet?"

Su Xiaoxiao took off the bracelet and handed it to Manager Pang who was walking towards her.

Manager Pang gave the bracelet to Xie Yunhe for review.

The bracelet was real, so Su Xiaoxiao was not worried.

Of course, Su Xiaoxiao didn't think that the Cheng family would recognize her just with a bracelet.

After Xie Yunhe checked the bracelet, he asked calmly, "Where have you been all these years? How did you find the Cheng family?"

Su Xiaoxiao said with a sad face: "After my grandparents rescued my mother from the coffin, they took her back to town. My family was in the silk business. The first few years were good, and my grandparents loved my mother very much. Later, my mother married the town's scholar, who was my father. My mother accidentally learned about her life experience, so she asked people around to find out. She finally found out the origin of the bracelet, but encountered an epidemic. Half of the people in the town were sick. My family and my grandparents... I was the only one who survived."

Two years ago, an epidemic did break out in Yunshui Town.

Xie Yunhe looked at Su Xiaoxiao suspiciously: "You are just ordinary merchants in Yunshui Town, how could you possibly find out the origin of this bracelet?"

Su Xiaoxiao spread her hands innocently: "I don't know about this, you have to ask my mother, she is underground, do you want to ask her?"

Xie Yunhe: “…”

Su Xiaoxiao took out her household registration and travel permit.

The name on the household registration is He Yuying.

It doesn't matter. As long as she is the flesh and blood of the Cheng family's legitimate daughter, she is a real member of the Cheng family and not just a cousin.

After all, the daughters of the Cheng family all look for husbands, and it is not customary to marry outside the family.

Manager Pang said softly, "Master, I think she is a liar. She must have stolen the little 'coffin' from that year, stolen the valuables from it, and made up a story to deceive us!"

Xie Yunhe didn't say anything.

He stared at Su Xiaoxiao without blinking.

Su Xiaoxiao met his gaze.

He was looking into her eyes, but it was as if he was looking at someone else through her eyes.

Xie Yunhe placed the household registration and bracelet on the table, stood up, and said in a dignified manner: "I will investigate it thoroughly. Before that, you stay in the mansion first!"

Manager Pang was startled: "Master!"

"You go and arrange it."

After saying this, Xie Yunhe walked out of the flower hall without looking back.

“I… this…”

Manager Pang was completely confused. These two girls were obviously fake. Why did the master keep them? To be honest, Su Xiaoxiao was also a little surprised.

This "recognition of relatives" went more smoothly than she had imagined. She still had a lot of tricks to use, but Xie Yunhe actually kept her.

Mei Ji put her hands on her waist and said to the fierce steward: "Hurry up and prepare the yard for my... young lady!"
