The oil lamp had been blown out. Outside the window, the night was hazy. Shen Ci lay in bed for a long time but couldn't fall asleep.
Joy and excitement surged in his heart like a tide, making it difficult for him to calm down.
He remembered the dream he had that night.
It turns out that dreams really do come true one day.
Qing'er really became his brother, and his biological brother from the same father.
That’s great, that’s great.
As he sighed, two lines of tears rolled down the corners of Shen Ci's eyes, but his face was smiling.
Over the years, the person closest to him was Shen Chaomu. She took care of him and helped him like a sister, and even saved his life.
But he knew that they were not real siblings.
He might never meet someone in this world who has the same blood as him in this lifetime.
And now, he met her.
very nice.
He felt that his heart, which had been empty for a long time, was filled after confirming that Qing'er was his brother.
That feeling is very fulfilling and happy.
Chen Ci didn't fall asleep until the moon was mid-rise.
The next day, Qing'er announced to everyone that he and Shen Ci had recognized each other.
Zhao Chuchu and Zhang Xiuyuan were not surprised, as they already knew it before.
Everyone was happy that Qing'er was able to find her biological brother.
Especially Liang'er, who always showed her emotions on her face, couldn't help but cry with joy.
That’s great, Brother Qing’er finally has his family around him.
Liang'er always felt that Qing'er was sometimes illusory, as if she would leave with the wind at any time. That feeling made Liang'er feel scared.
This feeling became even clearer after "Zhao Chuchu" did not come to redeem Qing'er as promised.
He hoped Qing'er would stay, hoping that there would be someone or something to tie Qing'er down. With that bond, he wouldn't be willing to leave.
Now, Shen Ci appeared.
He could finally feel at ease.
Liang'er was a little surprised that Shen Ci came to see him, but it was also within his expectations.
"Brother Liang'er, can you tell me about my brother's past?" Shen Ci originally planned to ask Zhang Xiuyuan, but Zhang Xiuyuan said that it was Liang'er who had always been with Qing'er. Only Liang'er knew Qing'er best.
Liang'er hesitated. In the past... they used to live in Chunmanyuan. Could Shen Ci know about those days?
Seeing Liang'er's hesitation, Chen Ci said, "Brother Liang'er, I actually have a suspicion that my brother may not have had a very good life in the past. I didn't ask him because I was afraid of accidentally exposing his scars. But, I want to understand him, I really want to."
Liang'er saw the pleading in Chen Ci's eyes, and finally told him about Qing'er's previous stay with him in Chunmanyuan.
After listening to this, Shen Ci was stunned for a long time.
Even though he had some guesses in his mind, he never imagined that his brother had grown up in such an environment.
Qing'er always felt that Shen Ci's life was hard.
But Shen Ci felt that his brother's life was much more difficult than his.
"...Fortunately, we met Sister Chuchu and Brother Xiuyuan, and now, Qing'er has also found you. Brother Qing'er will be happy in the future." Liang'er said.
Shen Ci pursed his lips, clenched his fists, and said, “I will definitely protect my brother in the future.”
Hearing Shen Ci's words, Liang'er breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, he was quite afraid that Shen Ci would look at Qing'er differently after hearing that Qing'er came from Chunmanyuan. Fortunately, Shen Ci did not.
I have to say that Shen Ci has a really good personality.
However, Brother Qing'er has Chen Ci, so what about him?
A vague image of a person whose appearance could no longer be remembered flashed through Liang'er's mind.
My little brother, where are you?
Will there be a day when we meet again?
I will wait, and wait forever.

That day, Bai Chu came to Yipinzhai and found Qin Shu.
"My mother asked me to come look for you. I have found a clue about your mother's matter."
As soon as Bai Chu finished speaking, the thing Qin Shu was holding in his hand fell to the ground.
Finally, finally a clue?
Qin Shu and Zhao Chuchu asked for leave and immediately went to the government office with Bai Chu.
Just as they entered the government office, a figure was watching from afar and then left quietly.
-
"Qin Tong's death was not an accident, but a deliberate murder." Bai Heng said directly.
Qin Shu's body shook. Although she had already guessed that her mother's death was not an accident, she still couldn't control her emotions when she really confirmed that she was murdered deliberately.
There was an accident in the carriage. Inside the carriage were my mother and father. If my mother hadn't risked her life to protect my father, my father might have also...
That person actually wanted to murder two lives.
"...The person I sent to investigate said that someone hired the coachman to tamper with the carriage's wheels. When the carriage passed a dangerous area, the coachman jumped away in time, and the carriage and its passengers would fall off."
Back then, the authorities only found the fallen carriage, the dead Qin Tong, and Qin Fulang, who was protected by Qin Tong. As for the driver, they could not find him. The detectives thought that the driver might have been unlucky and had fallen into a more dangerous place, where his body was completely destroyed.
Unexpectedly, she escaped and became an accomplice in the murder of Qin Tong.
"I've sent people to investigate and hunt down the driver. As long as we catch her, we'll know who hired her."
"Thank you, sir." Qin Shu was very grateful and had a lot to say, but in the end, all he could say was just a thank you.
Regardless of whether he can find the driver or the murderer behind the scenes, Qin Shu will always remember this favor in his heart.
"No need to thank me. This is what a government official should do."
-
Qin Shu stayed in the government office for a while and then left.
Bai Chu sent her to the gate of the government office.
"Xiaoshu, don't be too worried or sad. Justice is clear. Those who do evil will always be caught and receive the punishment they deserve." Bai Chu looked at Qin Shu, who was feeling a little depressed, and comforted him.
"Yeah, I know." Feeling Bai Chu's concern, Qin Shu pulled a smile at the corner of his lips.
Although she believed in her heart that her mother's death was an accident, and although she always felt that Qin Qin was the person behind it.
But she also had a thought in her heart: if, if her mother's death was really an accident, without the so-called person behind the scenes, and without Qin Qin's involvement, the result would be better.
After all, Qin Qin is my mother's sister and a blood relative.
Just imagine, how terrible it would be if a younger sister planned to kill her older sister.
But the results of the prefect's investigation clearly overturned this glimmer of luck, making Qin Shu feel cold all over.
Never mind, human hearts are uncontrollable.
Let the prefect continue the investigation. One day the truth will come out and the person behind the scenes will be revealed.
At this time, someone quietly came to Qin's house, where Qin Qin lived.
