"I... I was adopted by a family. That family treated me very well. However, since the war between the two countries, the village was also destroyed, so my grandfather and I were forced to separate. My grandfather told me that I actually have a biological father and mother, and asked me to come to the capital to find them."

While she was talking, her hands kept working. Gu Yunru narrowed her eyes slightly, obviously trying to divert attention with the movements of her hands. What she said must be false, Gu Yunru just didn't expose her in person.

"I'm surprised. You were kidnapped when you were six or seven years old. Do you remember nothing from before that?"

"I have been adopted by my grandfather since I can remember. He said he found me near Wanshou Mountain. At that time, I seemed to have rolled down the mountain. I survived the disaster, so my grandfather took me in."

Gu Yunru's scrutiny gradually narrowed. What Shu'er said was true. The last scene was on the mountain. But no one knew where Shu'er was taken. Could it be that she was not taken away by a wolf, but adopted by an unknown guy? "Sister Ashin, why do you suddenly ask so many questions? Did we know each other before?" Shu'er began to turn the tables and pointed the finger at Gu Yunru. Gu Yunru didn't react for a while. Unexpectedly, the medicine pot was burnt again, so she had to change a new batch of medicine and boil it again.

"How could that be? We have never met before, but you, the Princess of Dongping, are very famous. Now that you have finally returned to the princess, I am of course happy for you and your daughter."

The smile on Gu Yunru's lips disappeared quietly. The sharpness in her eyes turned into tenderness. Shu'er took the bowl aside, took the medicine bowl and went to Tingya's side, carefully serving her. She watched from the side. The mother and daughter who had not seen each other for many years were still a little strange. Shu'er's eyes did not show any love or joy of reunion.

"Princess, this is Shu'er, you have met her before." Gu Yunru saw that Tingya finally finished drinking the medicine obediently, and stayed by her side for half the meal, patiently guiding her and telling her this important information.

"Shu'er... She is not my Shu'er..." Tingya looked at the girl, shook her head nervously, and leaned into Gu Yunru's arms. Shu'er looked at her with a sad face and said, "Mother, how could you not even recognize Shu'er? If you don't believe me, go ask the ancestors and ask them to give you a proof."

The term "ancestor" means empress dowager, but this term is not used in the Da Qi Dynasty.

"Tingya, do you really not remember her? You are still holding the clothes, shoes and hat that you made for Shu'er..." Gu Yunru's kindness and tenderness seemed to be about to overflow from the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

But Tingya didn't seem to accept this daughter. The panic in her eyes was infinitely magnified and gradually revealed her fear. I wonder why a mother would be like this when she reunited with her daughter?

"Oh... forget it, Miss Ashin, since mother doesn't want to recognize me, then it's fine. But I will still serve mother. One day, she will recognize me." Shu'er was considerate and persuaded Gu Yunru who was worried beside her. Gu Yunru sighed.

At noon, he went to the restaurant and met Shen Aojun and Rong Zhen. He told them about Ting Ya's situation, grabbed the peanuts on the plate and put them into his mouth, talking incessantly.

"There's nothing wrong with Shu'er. She just doesn't have a clear memory of when she was six or seven years old. I'm thinking about whether I can evoke her memories from before that, but I need her cooperation."

It is not difficult to awaken a person's missing memories, but it still requires the person's cooperation to a certain extent. If you fail to do it right, it can be considered a good thing.

Shen Aojun looked at Gu Yunru, who had been talking non-stop since he sat on the chair. He couldn't help but wipe the sweat off his forehead, and then looked at Rong Zhen with tenderness, "Your Highness, Aojun went to check the farmer who adopted Shu'er. I heard that after the war, the village had been massacred, and the identity of this person could not be verified."

"Poof..." Gu Yunru suddenly spurted out the hot soup in her mouth, unexpectedly splashing onto Rong Zhen's face. The scene became tense and awkward... Shen Aojun quickly wiped Rong Zhen's face with a handkerchief, glared at Gu Yunru and said, "Miss Ashin, why are you eating like this?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I couldn't help it, but just now I heard you two say that you want to investigate Shu'er, and I don't think it's necessary." Gu Yunru shrank his neck and expressed his opinion. Looking at Rong Yong's pair of gloomy eyes, he couldn't help but shiver all over.

He looked depressed, and the loneliness on his face did not dissipate for a moment. Gu Yunru's scalp was tingling, so he just sat there in a proper manner.

"Miss Ashin, you don't know that day..." Shen Aojun was about to say something, but was interrupted by Rong Zhen's cold eyes. He stood up and walked out the door. His personality was still as weird as before. Others had no idea what he was going to do. Every move he made was filled with loneliness and arrogance.

"Don't worry about him. Tell me in detail what happened that day." Gu Yunru stretched her neck, stared at her curiously and asked. Shen Aojun looked around again and explained to her about the assassin who came out of the Chu Mansion that day. The assassin's matter was indeed strange.

"Is the prince okay?" Shen Aojun was also quite nervous and anxious when he saw Ashin's reaction. It seemed that he was also concerned about Rong Zhen. He breathed a sigh of relief, and his dark eyes flashed with complaints. "The prince didn't want to make this matter public. The capital has been peaceful for so many years, and suddenly there was an assassin incident, so the prince suspected this Shu'er."

"Oh." Gu Yunru suddenly realized and nodded. To be honest, this Shu'er was indeed very strange. It was as if she had fallen from the sky just like herself. The so-called grandfather did not exist at all, and no one knew whether the words she said were true or false. It made people confused.

Shen Aojun's eyes flashed, and he said calmly: "Miss Ashin, I want you to do me a favor."

"But it's okay."

The next morning, Gu Yunru tiptoed to Shu'er's room, walked up to her and gave her a silly smile.

"Miss Ashin, what can I do for you?" Shu'er had finished dressing up and was about to go out for a walk when she saw her acting sneaky. Her attentive smile made her think she was either a thief or a traitor.

"It's like this. I'm missing a medicinal ingredient in my medicine, so I have to ask you for a favor."

Gu Yunru lowered her head, a hint of unnatural expression flashed across her face, but lying was not a difficult thing for her, and she quickly calmed down.
