When Si Luan woke up groggily, she vaguely heard people talking in the room, but they were speaking very softly, and she couldn't make out what they were saying.
At first, she thought that Sturnan had found a doctor to treat her illness.
It wasn't until a shadow fell over her that she realized the person who had come wasn't the child.
“Han…” Si Luan’s voice was a little hoarse, and his tone was clearly incredulous.
But only for a moment, and she withdrew her gaze.
He said no more.
Xiao Yan grasped her wrist and said in a deep voice, "Aunt, it's me, Han Yu."
Si Luan shook off his hand, turned her head away, and said, "Young master, you've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not your aunt."
Shen Qiyin watched this scene silently, her lips slightly pursed.
Empress Si acted this way mostly because she was afraid of implicating Xiao Yan.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have lived in Beijing for so many years without ever trying to contact him.
But Xiao Yan was not one to be afraid of being implicated by others!
"Aunt, it's Hanyu who's late."
Si Luan lay on the kang with her eyes closed, tears slowly streaming down her face and disappearing into her hair.
She didn't say a word, but it wasn't hard to imagine how difficult her life had been over the years.
She was still ill, and Xiao Yan was afraid that saying too much would remind her of those unhappy things, which would be bad, so he didn't say anything more and just busied himself arranging for people to prepare for her care.
Once Si Luan's health improved slightly, he sent her to his villa outside the city to recuperate.
During this period, Xiao Yan became noticeably busier.
Shen Qiyin knew what he was busy with.
She thought that the capital city was about to change drastically.
However, to her surprise, what came even faster than Xiao Yan's plan was the commotion from the General's Mansion.
Previously, because of Huo Fanshuang's exposure of the second branch of the General's Mansion, Huo Chenzhou secretly ordered someone to go to Ren Dong's hometown to carefully investigate her background.
To ensure everything went smoothly, after receiving a clear answer, Huo Chenzhou's men even traveled a long distance to bring Ren Dong's second uncle and aunt to the capital, just to confess everything in front of everyone.
It turns out that honeysuckle was indeed not their child.
Many years ago, Honeysuckle's grandmother, a kind-hearted old woman, found Honeysuckle, who was still an infant, in the weeds.
Moreover, her uncle and aunt were certain that she already had that scar on her arm when she found the honeysuckle.
Now it seems everything is clear: Ren Dong is the young lady from General Weiyuan's mansion who was unexpectedly lost.
With witnesses and physical evidence readily available, Huo Chenzhou immediately filed a lawsuit against the second branch of the Huo family.
At the same time, he made a grand announcement to the world that he intended to bring Ren Dong back to the general's mansion.
Honeysuckle was completely bewildered.
The members of the second branch of the Huo family had all been imprisoned, and she still couldn't quite believe it was true.
She didn't really care about being a "Miss" or anything like that, but finding her roots was ultimately a good thing.
However, just because she doesn't care about noble ladies doesn't mean others don't care either.
Huo Xiaoyue, who was kicked out of the general's mansion, cared about it to death!
She had been impersonating someone else for so many years, and Huo Chenzhou had already done more than enough by sparing her life. How could he continue to keep her in the General's Mansion without any resentment?
Initially, Ren Dong suspected that something was wrong with the result.
It wasn't until Shen Qiyin told her that Xiao Yan had also sent people to investigate that she finally believed it.
However, to everyone's surprise, Xiao Yan's men discovered more than just Ren Dong's background when they went to the border town.
They also brought back one person.
Upon seeing him, Ren Dong recognized him immediately: "Old madman! You're still alive?"
