"Was this line of text on this letter erased?" Ye Ran pointed to the part after the three words on the outside.
Lu Yi picked up the letter, held it up slightly to the light, and examined it for a while. "It's been erased. I can only barely make out the last word..."
It seems to be... the character '子'...
Ye Ran murmured a few times, "Zi...zi...what does this mean?"
What's that outside the Bai family's house?
Lu Yi's expression shifted slightly. "Could it be... an illegitimate child? Judging from the erased part, it's three characters, the last one being the character '子' (zi).
If we look closely at the first character, do you see if it has the '禾' radical?
Ye Ran's expression changed drastically. She leaned closer and examined it carefully for a long time. "It seems... to be..."
What does this mean? An illegitimate child?
"Impossible! My maternal grandfather only had one daughter, my mother! This is absolutely impossible!"
Lu Yi gently comforted Ye Ran, "Don't get agitated. It might not be your maternal grandfather's. Think about it, didn't Xu Qiang say something like that..."
That person is from his uncle's generation? Then this person...
It's possible that he was an illegitimate child from your maternal grandfather's or father's generation..."
Ye Ran was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, she realized that it was indeed possible. Her maternal grandfather's father was the child who had migrated back from another place.
At that time, they were a widow and her son, and in order to have more children, they took in two concubines.
But for some reason, even so, he only had his maternal grandfather as a child. Unlike his father, his maternal grandfather was a devoted man.
So he devoted himself to taking care of his grandmother, and didn't even care that his grandmother had given birth to a daughter.
After his grandmother passed away, he stayed by his mother's side and never remarried until his death...
Her mother keeps bringing this up. If that's the case, then if there really is an illegitimate child, it's likely that the child was born to the maternal grandfather's father...
But at that time, he wanted a son so badly, and he only had his maternal grandfather as his child, so why didn't he bring him back?
Ye Ran became more and more confused as she thought about it. Lu Yi gently put the letter away and then put it back in the envelope.
"Ranran, I'm thinking that this illegitimate child must be that mysterious person."
I just don't know why, but I always feel like it's not that simple..."
Ye Ran touched her arm solemnly. Indeed, even though she had a general idea of who that person was, new mysteries remained unsolved...
Ye Ran sighed, "I feel more and more confused..."
Lu Yi smiled and said, "Ranran, don't be too nervous. We've only spent a few days and we've already figured out who this person is."
Haste makes waste. Let's take it slow, and we'll unravel all the mysteries sooner or later..."
Ye Ran nodded dejectedly, "That's the only way..."
Lu Yi smiled. "At least we have new leads now... don't we?"
Ye Ran immediately perked up. "What clue?"
Lu Yi smiled slightly, "Since he is an illegitimate child, and Xu Qiang said that not many people know him, at least some do..."
He must have been here back then, and some people saw him. They're just using his connection to the Bai family as leverage; they're bound to find something..."
Ye Ran's eyes darted around, and she remembered someone; her eyes immediately lit up...
