You see, Yuan Hong and I aren't related by blood, but I've always treated him like a younger brother, and I've never abandoned him. Don't worry, Aya won't abandon you."
Su Ruojin felt a sense of relief upon hearing Dapu's reply.
This kid is quite sentimental.
"Really?" Dap's eyes lit up when he heard Su Ruojin's words.
"It's true, of course. If you don't believe me, just ask Aya in person." Su Ruojin came today on a whim and didn't bring Aya with her.
“Dap, if you really aren’t the Little Prince Xiaoyue, would you be disappointed?” Su Ruojin asked again.
Dapp shook his head. "No, I'm not a prince. There's nothing to be disappointed about."
"That's good. Dap, your sister is the princess of Xiaoyue. She may stay in Xiaoyue from now on. Do you have any plans?"
"If you don't want to stay in Xiaoyue, you can come back to Da Chu with us. I promise that once we return to Da Chu, whatever Yuan Hong has, you will have too," Su Ruojin promised.
"Thank you, Your Highness, but I only want to stay with my sister. If my sister still acknowledges me as her brother, I will follow her wherever she is."
Dapp had been searching for his sister, and now that he had finally found her, he naturally didn't want to be separated from her.
"Okay, I understand. We will respect your choice."

Twenty-four hours passed, and the red pearl completely turned back to red.
Yuan Hong took out the dagger Su Ruojin had given him, and decisively cut his finger, dripping blood onto the beads.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the bead slowly turned from red to completely gold.
Yuan Hong stared in disbelief at the changes in the beads.
Although Sister Jin had specifically told him about this, Yuan Hong still felt that he could not possibly be the Little Prince of Xiaoyue.
Today's blood test for pearl buds is just a formality.
But now that the beads have really turned golden, Yuan Hong doesn't know how to react.
Upon seeing this, Lu Hong and Lu Junyuan were so moved that they immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Yuan Hong, saying, "Your humble servants pay their respects to the Second Prince."
The late emperor had three sons. One was the eldest son born to the late empress, who died by falling into a lake a year after Empress Wu entered the palace. The second was the son born to Consort Yun. The third was the current Emperor Xiaoyue, Ji Yanzhuo.
Faced with this, Yuan Hong looked at Su Ruojin helplessly, a hint of panic in his eyes.
Compared to the excitement of the Lu family father and son and the nervousness of Yuan Hong, Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu were much calmer.
After all, this result was within their expectations.
Seeing Yuan Hong's embarrassment, Su Ruojin spoke up for him, "Prime Minister Lu, Young Master Lu, please get up quickly."
Lu Hong stood up, raised his sleeve and wiped his eyes. Their long-awaited dream had finally come true.
Once the Second Prince is found, the rest of the plan can proceed; they have waited far too long for this day.
"Prime Minister Lu, if Yuan Hong is the Second Prince, does he have a name?" Su Ruojin asked.
According to rumors, the second prince died at birth, and the late emperor may not have had time to name him.
Lu Hong nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes. At that time, there was a rumor in the palace that the second prince died at birth. The late emperor was extremely saddened after returning to the palace, but he still named the second prince Ji Yanche."
So Yuan Hong's real name is Ji Yanche.
Aya, standing to the side, looked at Yuan Hong with shock in her eyes.
She never imagined that Yuan Hong would be her own younger brother!
Dapu had been watching Aya the whole time, and now that he saw his sister staring at Yuan Hong without moving, he silently lowered his head.
