Ye Qingqing didn't react for a moment. She stared blankly at the old lady and Sun Qiuyun, her mind blank, as if she were in a daze. She could hear their voices, and she could understand the meaning of each word, but she couldn't understand them when put together.
"Qing girl... what's wrong?"
The old lady noticed that something was wrong with Ye Qingqing. She didn't dare to speak loudly, but called out softly and stroked her face from time to time.
Ye Qingqing's current condition is a kind of hysteria that occurs after great joy and shock, just like Fan Jin's reaction to passing the imperial examination. However, Ye Qingqing's condition is better, and she doesn't need to be slapped.
After a while, Ye Qingqing gradually came to her senses, her eyes cleared, and she stared blankly at the old lady, then at Sun Qiuyun, unable to believe what she was seeing.
She was afraid that she was dreaming, and that when she woke up, everything would go back to normal.
"Smack!"
Ye Qingqing slapped herself hard across the face, leaving five red finger marks that startled the old lady and Sun Qiuyun.
"Hahaha, it's not a dream, it's real!"
Ye Qingqing shouted happily, completely unaware of the burning pain on her face.
The old lady and Sun Qiuyun were both amused and exasperated. She really was just a child, but they were also deeply saddened and felt even more pity for Ye Qingqing.
This child must have suffered a lot.
"You silly girl, how could you be so cruel to yourself? Go back inside and apply the medicated oil." The old lady was both distressed and amused. She pulled Ye Qingqing back into the room, where the clever Xiao Li had already taken out the medicated oil.
The medicated oil was very cooling; it felt refreshing on her face and calmed Ye Qingqing down.
"Grandma Sheng..."
“Call me Grandma. By legal terms, I’m your great-aunt, but your father is like my son, so naturally I have to call him Grandma.” The old lady glared at her and explained her relationship with Ye Qingqing.
Ye Qingqing was overjoyed; she could finally find out who her father was!
"grandmother……"
Ye Qingqing originally thought it would be difficult to say it, but in fact she said it very easily without any psychological burden. Perhaps it was because the old lady had always been so kind that Ye Qingqing always secretly fantasized that the old lady could become her own grandmother!
The old lady smiled with relief, tears streaming down her face as she gently applied the medicated oil. Sun Qiuyun, standing nearby, became anxious, saying, "I'm your aunt."
After calling out "Grandma," calling her "Auntie" felt even easier. Ye Qingqing called out again, and Sun Qiuyun, like the old lady, laughed and cried, her face full of relief.
"Grandma, Auntie, what's my dad's name? Where is he? Why did he leave my mom?"
Ye Qingqing asked a series of questions without waiting, and finally found her relatives. Although she was very happy, she wanted to recognize her biological father even more.
I'd like to ask what exactly happened back then?
The old lady and Sun Qiuyun both sighed, their expressions saddened. Ye Qingqing's heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad feeling.
It seems that her biological father is very likely no longer alive!
“Young girl, your father’s surname is also Ye, and his name is Mingcheng, but during those turbulent years, your father was sent to a farm in the Northwest…”
The old lady recounted everything that had happened to Ye Mingcheng back then, but Ye Qingqing became more and more confused as she listened. At least she learned what her father's name was, and she never expected that he also had the surname Ye.
It seems she doesn't need to change her name.
"Grandma, if you put it that way, my dad probably didn't die. He secretly returned to Pingjiang City, married my mom, and then I was born, right?" Ye Qingqing analyzed.
