Li Yunzhou sat down on a chair by the window and said, "It's not a problem. He just told me to listen to my brother when I go to Northern Xinjiang."
Bai Lu brought in the tea and Li Yunzhou took it.
"Leave Beijing in three days."
When he said this, he subconsciously looked at Lin Wanyin. Mother and son had just reunited, and he was about to leave Beijing. Was this considered unfilial?
Li Yunzhou himself found it strange, having never doubted his origins. But the recognition of mother and son, brother and sister, didn't strike him as odd at all. It seemed like this was the way it should be.
Lin Wanyin was a little surprised. She didn't expect him to leave Beijing so soon.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "In addition to clothes and shoes, I will prepare some medicinal herbs tomorrow. You can take them with you."
"Although there's no fighting at the border right now, there's still danger. Don't be careless when you go there."
Li Yunzhou nodded and replied, "Yes, I've noted it all down. It would be unfilial of me to leave Beijing just after we've met. When I return from Northern Xinjiang, our family will be reunited."
When he recognizes his relatives, he can live with his mother and sister with a legitimate reason.
Lin Wanyin shook her head and said, "How can you say that? A good man has ambitions. How can you be considered unfilial?"
"When I was young, I followed my father to do business in a border town. Not only was the border cold, but the people also suffered from war all year round. The soldiers who guarded the border town were all heroes."
She seemed lost in thought and spoke slowly.
"That year, the Tartars invaded Zhangye, and your grandfather and I happened to be there. The people of Zhangye defended the city alongside the soldiers."
"Men fought in battle, while the elderly, weak, women and children cooked and cared for the wounded. It seemed like this was the most normal thing for them."
"In a border town, people are the most important. When war breaks out, no one can stay out of it. One more person means one more hope."
"Human life is the least valuable. A whole city of people can be gone in an instant."
"So in the border town, whether it's the soldiers guarding the border or the ordinary people, they are all heroes. Although mother is worried about your safety, she will never hold you back."
Li Yunzhou had read countless military books and studied the art of war over the years. He had thoroughly analyzed battles throughout the dynasties. He knew all the historical records of war by heart. But nothing had made his blood boil like Lin Wanyin's words today.
"Don't worry, mother. Your son can not only protect the family and the country, but also take care of himself."
He went to the battlefield to make achievements, although he wanted to use military merit to avenge the Li family, but he also had the heart to defend his country.
Afterwards, Lin Wanyin talked about the interesting things that happened when she was a merchant in her youth and the customs of the border areas, and all the girls smiled.
After a while, He Ye came in to report that the Third Master had arrived, accompanied by a middle-aged man.
Su Qingyu guessed that it was Shen Zhixiu who brought Mr. Zhou here.
Then he explained to Li Yunzhou and Lin Wanyin, "Mother, brother, Mr. Zhou who works for the Third Master knows the secret technique of paternity test. To be on the safe side, I would like to ask him to help mother and brother with the test."
Lin Wanyin was surprised that there was such a secret technique, and inexplicably worried.
Li Yunzhou was extremely happy. If there really was such a secret technique, he would have evidence when he returned to Beijing and confronted the Li family.
The three of them went to the front hall with their own thoughts, and Shen Zhixiu and Mr. Zhou were already waiting there.
The few of them didn't exchange many pleasantries, but just watched nervously as Mr. Zhou prepared water and medicine.
Lin Wanyin subconsciously asked, "Is this test accurate?"
Su Qingyu nudged her gently, signaling her not to ask so bluntly. Miracle doctors generally have strange tempers and don't like being questioned.
But Mr. Zhou was not displeased. He explained with a pleasant face, "Don't worry, madam. To prove the accuracy of this medicine, I have tested it on thousands of people in Qianzhou and there has not been a single mistake."
Mr. Zhou's tone revealed absolute confidence.
A bowl of clean water with brown medicine powder sprinkled in it and stirred evenly.
After getting ready, Mr. Zhou looked at Lin Wanyin and Li Yunzhou again.
"You two need to prick your fingertips and drop a drop of blood into the water. If you are mother and child, the blood beads will meet and then merge with the water. If not, the blood beads will remain in the water separately, neither meeting nor merging."
Li Yunzhou nodded, took the lead in picking up the silver needle and piercing his finger, and a drop of bright red blood fell into the bowl.
Lin Wanyin was not a pretentious person, and she followed Li Yunzhou and pricked her finger as well.
Several people stared at the bowl intently, and saw the two drops of blood first merge together, and then merge with the water.
The few people who had held their breath breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this scene.
Li Yunzhou went forward and hugged Lin Wanyin, "Mom..."
Fortunately, the paternity test only confirmed yesterday's speculation, and although everyone was excited, they did not lose their composure.
Mr. Zhou had only come to help, and after taking a blood test, he left. He said he had gathered some herbs last night and needed to dry them.
Shen Zhixiu still had some official business to attend to, so he didn't stay long and took Li Yunzhou with him when he left.
When only Lin Wanyin and Su Qingyu were left in the room, Lin Wanyin thought of yesterday and almost made a hasty matchmaking. She laughed and said, "You were so anxious to tell me yesterday because you were afraid I'd make a fool of myself by arranging a marriage for your fourth sister, right?"
Su Qingyu laughed when she heard her mention this. She then pulled her mother to sit down and told her about Li Yunzhou and Shen Yue.
"Mother should not have left the house today. This matter has already spread widely among the officials."
"Now the two families have verbally agreed on the marriage, and we will wait for my brother to return to Beijing to get engaged. But by the time my brother returns, the truth about his life story will be revealed, and then the Shen family will naturally be engaged to the Su family."
Lin Wanyin recognized Shen Yue and sighed after hearing this. After many twists and turns, not only did he find his son, he also found his daughter-in-law.
