But before we could find our father, our eldest brother died.
Concealing her sorrow, Chaolu asked Yezhen, "Young Madam, may you take me with you to banquets in the future?"
My older brother said Dad is a good man and loves the three of us very much. He must be looking for us too. When I find Dad, I'll ask him to help you, okay?
Worried that Ye Zhen might misunderstand her as making empty promises, she quickly added, "The neighbors all say my father is a good man."
Ye Zhen was surprised by Chao Lu's background and asked, "Do you remember what your father looked like?"
“When my father had the accident, I had just been born, and my second brother was only three years old.”
Only the eldest brother still remembers what their father looks like, but the eldest brother is gone.
"However, my father had a jade pendant on him. He took it to a pawnshop to supplement his family's income, and the shopkeeper gave him five hundred taels of silver."
Grandma believed this was proof that Dad would be able to find his family and his identity in the future, so she didn't agree to it. Later, a flood occurred, and the jade pendant was lost.
The pool of candidates narrows down considerably, as they might be wealthy individuals who carry valuable jade pendants and speak with a Beijing accent.
"My elder brother said that I look very much like my mother, and my father will definitely recognize me when he sees me."
Ye Zhen agreed to her request.
Overwhelmed with gratitude, Chaolu begged Wanxing to teach her manners and how to behave.
She didn't want to go out and embarrass Ye Zhen, and she also hoped to be able to help Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen didn't stop her; learning more wouldn't be a bad thing for Chao Lu.
As for whether Chaolu's father could help, Ye Zhen had no hope of it.
She herself had a distant relationship with her parents, so she hoped that the people around her could have their wishes fulfilled.
Unexpectedly, Chaolu's words came true, and her father indeed became a significant help to Ye Zhen. But that's another story.
At night, Ye Zhen went to the Ink Academy.
During the day, Xie Tingzhou told her that he had made a copy of Shui Wuhen's letter.
Ye Zhen wanted to come and see.
"Thank you for your help today, brother."
She thanked Tse Ting-chou and offered him some snacks she had made herself.
Xie Tingzhou was sitting upright at his desk working when he saw her come in. He took a piece of paper from his book and handed it to her.
Unexpectedly, someone grabbed his sleeve tightly.
Upon seeing the letter, Ye Zhen was extremely agitated, tears welling in her eyes. "Brother, do you know where Shui Wuhen is now? Please tell me, brother?"
