Chapter 301 (Before the End) - Lin Dayou's Background
Lin Dayou felt a little embarrassed by the old lady's stare and finally spoke up.
"Your Highness..." The old lady's maid, Ah Yun, suddenly lowered her head and whispered something in her ear.
The old lady then turned her gaze to Lin Luoxi, her eyes filled with shock, further confirming that Lin Dayou was her son.
He stood up shakily, walked up to Lin Luoxi, and reached out his hands, wanting to touch Lin Luoxi's face.
"Madam, what are you trying to do?" Lin Wangshi, who was sitting next to Lin Luoxi, stood up warily and blocked the old lady's movements.
"Grandma, you can't touch my second sister..." Lin Wentao and Lin Luoning also stood up and stood in front of Lin Luoxi.
"This, this..." The old lady looked at Xiao Luo Ning and Lin Wen Tao in front of her, so excited that she couldn't speak.
“You are my son. Look, those children all look just like us…” The old lady’s eyes welled up with tears again.
"Madam, if you want us to believe you, then show us the evidence..." Lin Luoxi felt sympathy for the old woman who was crying so hard she almost fainted, but she still didn't believe what the old woman was saying.
"When my son was taken away, he was swaddled in a swaddling cloth embroidered with gold thread. Oh, and he had a black mole on his inner thigh, a unique mark that every child in our Lin family inherits..."
When Lin Luoxi pressed her for answers, the old lady finally stopped crying and slowly remembered the swaddling clothes and marks she had used when her son went missing.
“Dad, your thigh…” Upon hearing the old lady’s words, Li immediately turned to ask Lin Dayou.
"Ahem... I have a mole." Lin Dayou coughed, embarrassed that his daughter had asked him so bluntly in front of everyone.
"There really is one!" Lin Wentao exclaimed in disbelief.
"You brats, what are you yelling about? You guys have your own things too." Seeing Lin Wentao speaking so loudly, Lin Dayou got so angry that he blurted everything out.
“Luo Xi, it seems that this old lady might really be your biological grandmother…” Fang Zhixia, who had been standing aside and listened to the whole story, was certain that this old woman was related to Lin Luo Xi’s family.
"Shh, don't jump to conclusions too soon." Lin Luoxi didn't believe there could be such a coincidence in the world. She had already sent someone to invite Lin Jize over.
Lin Luoxi was certain that Lin Jize knew who his father's biological mother was.
Upon hearing Lin Dayou's words, the old lady could no longer hold back and came over, pulling Lin Dayou aside and crying incessantly.
"Luo Xi, what do you want from me?" Lin Jize, who was arguing with Xiao Jingchen and the others at the town mayor's mansion, called out to Lin Luo Xi as soon as he arrived.
"Grandpa, look, do you know that old lady?" Lin Luoxi immediately stepped forward and grabbed Lin Jize as soon as she saw him coming over.
"Your Highness, what are you doing here?" Lin Jize looked in the direction Lin Ruoxi was pointing, and when he saw that familiar face, he immediately exclaimed in surprise.
"General Lin..." The old woman, who was called A-Yun, was so excited when she saw Lin Jize that she immediately revealed his identity.
"Heavens, Lin Luoxi, your great-grandfather is a general, your family could not be their children who were lost and wandered away!"
The more Fang Zhixia thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Fang Zhixia thought so too, and so did Lin Wangshi, because she and Lin Dayou were husband and wife, and naturally knew that Lin Dayou had a mole on his inner thigh.
Not only Lin Dayou, but all of her children have a black mole on their inner thigh.
"Your Highness, look, it's General Lin." Granny Ayun immediately stepped forward and said to her mistress when she saw Lin Jize arrive.
"General Lin, which General Lin?" The old princess's mind was starting to wander again.
"Grandpa, these two grandmas came up to me and said my dad is their child. Can you tell them if it's true or not?"
Lin Luoxi stepped forward and directly asked the key question.
As soon as Lin Luoxi asked the question, everyone present turned their attention to Lin Jize.
When everyone remembered that Lin Jize had once said that Lin Dayou was not Lin Jiguang's son, they held their breath and stared at Lin Jize.
"Yes!" Lin Jize admitted without hesitation that Lin Dayou was the lost child of the old princess's family.
"How could that be? If I were really their child, with their strength, how could they not find me..." Lin Dayou couldn't accept the truth after Lin Jize revealed it.
Yes, Lin Dayou could tell from the other party's high status that if they really wanted to find a lost child, it would be an easy thing. How could they have let him suffer outside for so many years?
After finally getting through the hardships, good days finally arrived, and then people started popping up to claim kinship, which Lin Dayou still couldn't accept.
Thinking of this, he pulled Lin Wangshi, Lin Wentao, Lin Luoning, and Lin Luoxi along with him, and left the inn with cold faces.
He is living a good life now and has passed the age where he needs to crave family affection.
What he feared even more was that the other party had only come to claim kinship because they saw that his daughter was becoming more and more capable and knew that they had value to them.
"My son!" Old Wangfu cried heartbrokenly as he watched Lin Dayou leave without any mercy.
"General Lin, what's wrong with you... sigh..." Granny A-Yun felt heartbroken seeing her mistress crying.
I want to talk about Lin Jize, but I don't know where to begin.
"I'll go explain to them right away..." Lin Jize couldn't bear to see the old princess's appearance, so he turned around and went to chase after Lin Dayou's family.
"Ah Yun, let's chase after them too..." When the old princess saw Lin Jize chasing after them, she pulled Ah Yun's nanny along to follow.
Having finally found her son, she couldn't afford to lose him again.
"Dad, are we really not going to acknowledge that grandma?" Lin Wenqian recalled how heartbroken the old woman had been crying earlier and couldn't bear it.
"What's there to acknowledge? If they wanted to acknowledge their father back when we were so poor we couldn't afford to eat, they should have come up and acknowledged him."
"Instead of waiting until we have everything before coming to claim us, wouldn't that mean they only think of taking us back after they've seen we have some use to them?"
Lin Wentao remained clear-headed and was not fooled by the other party's superficial gestures.
After being rebuked by Lin Wentao, Lin Wenqian fell silent.
Yes, everything their family has now was obtained thanks to his sister's efforts.
He and his younger brother Lin Wentao are currently scholars, and in less than two years, they will certainly achieve something, if not become the top scholars.
Who knew that the other party wasn't interested in this point, and that's why they came to our door under the guise of recognizing relatives.
Lin Luoxi didn't think so, but whether she acknowledged it or not depended entirely on Lin Dayou.
For them, if the other person is a good person, they have nothing to fear in accepting him.
