Aya looked up abruptly upon hearing this. "What's wrong with Dapu? What happened? Are you feeling unwell again?"
Su Ruojin smiled and looked at Dapu beside her, "He said you'll abandon him once you find your younger brother."
Aya was very surprised, "How could this be?"
Aya then realized what was happening and quickly walked to Dap's side, "Dap."
Dapp looked up at his sister, his eyes red and choked with emotion, "Sister, do you not want me anymore?"
Aya's heart softened. "Dap, don't overthink it. Yuan Hong is my brother, that's true, but in my eyes you're also my own brother. How could I abandon you?"
"Really?" Dapp's eyes lit up.
“Really.” Aya nodded with a smile.
“Sister!” Dapu cried out and threw himself into Aya’s arms, hugging her and sobbing. “Sister, I’m so scared. I’m scared that you won’t want me anymore. I’m scared that you’ll abandon me once you find out I’m not your biological brother.”
He didn't want to go back to being alone and miserable; he didn't want to leave his sister.
Aya hugged him and said, "Silly Dapu, we've been relying on each other for so many years. We're practically like siblings. How could your sister not want you?"
"Okay, then wherever my sister goes, Dapu will follow her."
Seeing that Dapu had resolved his inner conflict, Su Ruojin said seriously, "Aya, since you are the princess of Xiaoyue, you can choose to stay and there is no need for you to go back to Yaolan as a slave."
Aya looked at Su Ruojin, but instead of revealing her decision, she said, "Your Highness, I would like to go see my mother."
Prime Minister Lu said that Consort Yun was imprisoned in the Cold Palace by Empress Dowager Wu, but she was still alive, and he wanted to see his mother first.
Su Ruojin thought for a moment, "Alright, I'll have Prime Minister Lu make the arrangements. You and Yuan Hong can both go."
Since he is a son, Yuan Hong should go and see his biological mother.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Su Ruojin turned around and went to Xiao Yanchu's room. As soon as she entered, she saw the two of them playing chess.
"Oh, you guys are pretty easygoing."
She thought Yuan Hong would overthink things like Da Pu, but she didn't expect this scene.
Seeing her come in, Xiao Yanchu put down the chess piece in his hand. "What's the use of thinking so much? Let's take it one step at a time. Anyway, Senior Fu's matter is not over yet, and we won't be returning to Da Chu for a while. Yuan Hong has plenty of time to make a decision."
"Sister Jin, my brother-in-law taught me to remain calm in the face of change, to follow my heart, to do things with a clear conscience, and not to be afraid of anything because I have my brother-in-law with me."
Yuan Hong also put down his chess piece, raised his head, and looked a little smug. It felt so good to have his brother-in-law backing him up.
Su Ruojin smiled and said, "You spoil him. By the way, Yuan Hong, your sister is going to see Consort Yun, and I'd like you to go with her."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Hong's smile vanished.
"What, you don't want to go? Consort Yun is your mother, you should go and see her."
"No, Sister Jin, I'm just a little scared."
Yuan Hong always believed that his adoptive parents were his biological parents, but he never expected that there was another secret about his origins.
He felt a mixture of kinship and trepidation towards this suddenly appearing biological mother.
"It's alright, Sister Jin will go with you."
Although she entrusted the arrangements to Prime Minister Lu, Su Ruojin was far from trusting Yuan Hong and Aya to secretly enter the palace. What if they encountered something?
Upon hearing that Sister Jin was going to accompany him, Yuan Hong instantly lost his fear. "If Sister Jin is with me, I won't be afraid."
