Seeing this, Chen Qiyin was filled with doubt.
"Young Master Huo?" What's wrong with him?
Although she didn't have a deep personal relationship with him, after several medical treatments, she could tell that he was almost a righteous person with a touch of wickedness, and shouldn't have been so rude.
Huo Chenzhou was jolted back to his senses by Shen Qiyin's voice. He glanced at her briefly before turning his gaze back to Rendong.
With his thick eyebrows furrowed, he said, "Excuse my abruptness, but may I ask how you got the scar on your arm, young lady?"
Upon hearing this, Ren Dong rolled up her sleeve, pointed to the burn, and asked, "You mean this?"
She came from the countryside and now spends her days with a group of men like Xiong Lu and Chen Bao, so she inevitably acts freely and without regard for details, and therefore does not feel that there is anything wrong with her actions.
Huo Chenzhou was shocked and, naturally, disregarded everything else. In his excitement, he even grabbed Ren Dong's wrist and asked, "Is it a burn?"
"Judging from the looks of it, it should be." Honeysuckle felt a little puzzled.
"you do not know?!"
Honeysuckle shook her head.
She's had this scar on her arm ever since she can remember.
She had asked her grandmother about it when she was a child, but so much time had passed that she had forgotten what her grandmother had said.
Shen Qiyin looked at the scar and said, "The wound is white; it's a burn."
Huo Chenzhou's expression grew increasingly solemn.
He then asked Honeysuckle, "How old are you? Fourteen?"
Honeysuckle was somewhat surprised: "How did you know?"
Confirming his suspicions, Huo Chenzhou's eyes were filled with complex emotions.
After a long pause, he finally spoke in a deep voice: "I have something I want to say to the village head."
The implication is that others should not hear it.
Honeysuckle had already put the spear back in its place. Hearing this, she and Xianglan held hands and prepared to go out first.
Unexpectedly, Shen Qiyin suddenly pulled her back and turned to Huo Chenzhou, saying, "They are not outsiders. As long as I can hear it, there is no need to avoid them."
"Besides..."
Shen Qiyin stared into Huo Chenzhou's eyes and said, word by word, "The matter that you are about to speak of, young master, is probably related to honeysuckle."
If that's the case, then she has the right to know.
Seeing this, Huo Chenzhou nodded heavily and said with some difficulty, "...That's right."
Honeysuckle frowned, then sat down again.
Huo Chenzhou's gaze fell on her sleeve, his voice carrying a hint of reminiscence: "Xiaoyue was lost when she was young and was only found a year ago. You have probably already heard about this from Wanqing."
Chen Xiyin nodded.
Huo Chenzhou continued, "Did she tell you that Xiaoyue had been gone for over ten years and had now returned home? How did we determine that she was the child from back then?"
No, not at all.
"It's because of a scar." Or more precisely, because of a burn.
At that time, he and his younger brother Qianfan were still young, and his younger sister was only two years old, chubby and fair-skinned, like a snowball.
Besides practicing martial arts, he and Qianfan spent their days vying for his sister's affections.
Whom she looks at first, who she smiles at first, whose hand she holds first... all of these things can make them argue about who's better.
One day, as usual, they were vying for the right to hold their little sister first. As a result, they accidentally knocked over a candlestick. Although their father stopped them in time, the wax that splashed out at that moment still burned their little sister's fair and tender arm, leaving a scar that looked like a crescent moon.
That's why the character "月" (moon) was included in her name.
When they found Xiaoyue, besides the location and time she went missing, the scar was also one of the pieces of evidence they used to confirm it.
However, at that time he felt that the scar on Xiaoyue's arm was slightly different from what he remembered.
Because of the injury to his younger sister, he and Qianfan couldn't get over it for a long time. Every time his younger sister fell asleep, they would stare at the wound for a long time, and because of this, the memory was very deep.
The scar on my sister's arm is not uniform in color. It is whitish in the center and gradually darkens towards the edge. Its shape is only similar to a crescent moon, but it is not actually regular.
But the one on Xiaoyue's body was of uniform color and neat in style.
He wasn't without doubts at that time.
Apart from that, everything else matched up, and her appearance was very much like her father's. He simply assumed that as time passed and she grew taller, the scars had changed.
But now, seeing the scar on Ren Dong's arm, it overlapped with the image of the scar on his younger sister's body in his memory.
After hearing what he said, Ren Dong understood his thoughts: "You mean, it's very possible that I'm your sister?"
Huo Chenzhou remained silent for a moment, then nodded firmly.
Honeysuckle, however, was even more resolute than him, saying, "Impossible!"
Why?
"I have a father and mother." Although they are no longer with us, and she has no memory of them.
"Then how do you know they are your biological parents?"
Upon hearing this, Honeysuckle fell silent.
Huo Chenzhou realized he had misspoke and looked ashamed: "...I'm sorry, that's not what I meant."
Honeysuckle didn't care about these things. After thinking for a moment, she said, "It's just a scar. It doesn't really mean anything. It's probably just a coincidence. Young master, you shouldn't overthink it."
How could a country girl like her possibly be a young lady from the General's Mansion who had been separated from her family?
Besides, her grandmother treated her so well, how could she not be her biological daughter?
Despite Ren Dong's reassurance, Shen Qiyin, looking at Huo Chenzhou's expression, felt that he had not given up.
And that is indeed the case.
Because Huo Chenzhou asked Ren Dong another question: "Where is your home?"
