Upon hearing Gu Jingheng's words, Su Yun'er's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that what she was thinking was true?
"Could those things be true? You, you really are the child of Prince Shou and Consort Qi?!"
"Wh-what?" Gu Jingheng chuckled upon hearing this. "I thought you knew, but it turns out you were wrong."
Gu Jingheng pulled Su Yun'er to sit down beside him and slowly told her the truth.
Gu Jingheng is indeed not Old Lady Chen's child, but the child of Prince Shou.
The former wife of Prince Shou was the elder sister of Consort Qi. The wife fought alongside Prince Shou on the battlefield and did not leave him during her pregnancy. On the day of her delivery, she was ambushed by spies from the enemy country and died. In the chaos, her newborn child was marked with a unique scar on his shoulder. The pattern was designed by Prince Shou for his wife and was one of a kind. Later, during the war, the infant child was taken away by his personal guards and lost contact.
Years ago, the Seventh Prince brought the seriously injured and unconscious Gu Jingheng back to Beidu for treatment. Consort Qi accidentally discovered a scar on his shoulder, recognized the pattern, and became suspicious. She wanted to investigate, but Gu Jingheng had amnesia and had no memory of his hometown, so there was no way to investigate. Therefore, it was only now that a clue was finally found again.
Today, Prince Shou's visit to Prince An's residence was at the invitation of Consort Qi, so that they could take this opportunity to question each other and confirm Gu Jingheng's background.
After Prince Shou examined the scar on Gu Jingheng's shoulder, and Consort Qi inquired about the time and place when Old Madam Chen found the child, they were able to confirm Gu Jingheng's background.
After that, things became simple.
Gu Jingheng's background was reported to the imperial court. After a series of procedures, Gu Jingheng was finally able to be recognized as a member of his family. As his adoptive mother, Old Madam Chen was deeply grateful and continued to be cared for in the General's Mansion, where Gu Jingheng and Su Yun'er took care of her in her later years. The old Prince Shou also often invited the couple to the Prince Shou's Mansion.
Time flies, and the Spring Festival is here again. Gu Jingheng also invited the old Prince Shou to the General's Mansion to celebrate together.
On New Year's Eve, Gu Jingheng received a New Year's greeting letter from Lian Yingtong.
Lian Yingtong went to the southwest and found Sun Wanqing, who was living in the southwest after being exiled. In his letter, he said that although Sun Wanqing was living a hard and poor life, she was still in good health. Lian Yingtong planned to stay with her for a while and try to find a way to get rid of her criminal record.
When Su Yun'er saw the last sentence, her eyes unconsciously filled with tears. She felt sorry for Sun Wanqing, but at the same time, she was happy for her.
Xu Meng has now been promoted to general and brought Lin Moniang and Lin Xiaolan back to Beidu. The three of them live together, and Xu Meng plans to train Lin Xiaolan so that she can join the army in the future.
The little tree and grass have been renamed Gu Zian and Gu Ziyue. The children's laughter and playfulness brought a lot of joy to the two elderly people.
"Grandpa Gu, Grandma Chen, look! It's snowing!" The snow fell heavily all night. The next morning, Zi'an and Ziyue, bundled up like two cotton balls, were having a snowball fight in the snow. Old Prince Shou and Old Lady Chen watched the two children and laughed heartily.
Su Yun'er and Gu Jingheng stood hand in hand under the corridor, looking at the happy family, feeling an infinite tenderness and happiness in their hearts.
