"orphan?"

Ye Xingzhou stood up tremblingly and stared at Su Wanwan's face carefully.

This face looks very much like their Ye family.

But how could he still be alive? It was impossible.

It was he and his father who buried his younger sister with their own hands.

The jade pendant should also be buried with my younger sister in the northwest wasteland.

"Little sister, little sister...are you little sister...?"

Ye Xingzhou couldn't stop crying as he looked at Su Wanwan, but he felt that it was impossible. She was clearly dead, so how could she still be alive?

Even if she were alive, her body was so weak, how could she grow up?

Su Wanwan didn't know how to explain her identity. It was impossible to explain it in modern times. If she was a refugee from Feng'an County, many people had indeed died in the floods and droughts in those years.

Even if we investigate, I'm afraid we won't be able to find out the truth, but there are always elderly people who survived in the village.

The reason why she was able to confess the matter of the jade pendant so quickly today was because Shen Yuan had already forged an identity for her.

After Shen Yuan came back from Heifeng Village and learned about the jade pendant, he was prepared for the day when he would recognize his relatives, so he sent someone to Feng'an County and found a family with the surname Su in a village called Guihua.

Coincidentally, everyone in this family also died.

This family has a daughter who is the same age as Su Wanwan. Her parents died early, and she lives with her grandparents.

That year, a mudslide hit that village and few people escaped. The village was destroyed and they finally moved to Xiaozhai Village on a higher ground. But within two years, they encountered another drought. There was originally little land in Guihua Village and many people starved to death, leaving only a few people left.

The people in Xiaozhai Village naturally don’t know much about the family situations of those who came from Guihua Village.

"I don't know. I have no relatives anymore. I didn't intend to ask, but looking at the two identical jade pendants, I feel uneasy if I don't ask."

Compared to Ye Xingzhou, Su Wanwan was obviously much calmer.

Ye Xingzhou's voice choked with sobs as he stared at Su Wanwan. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that she looked like a member of their Ye family. He felt something strange when he saw her for the first time. No wonder, could it be true...

He also felt that he would not remember it wrongly. After all, he had buried the person with his own hands, and his heart was becoming more and more conflicted.

"how old are you?"

His eyes were different, full of anticipation and a little nervousness.

"I'm almost 19."

Su Wanwan answered truthfully.

Her birthday is in the twelfth lunar month, but that was the day her grandmother picked her up, so it was not her birth date.

She didn't even know her real birthday.

"No... No, my little sister's birthday should be in autumn, but if you count the days, she is also 19 years old this year..."

Ye Xingzhou muttered to himself and shook his head, with some disappointment in his eyes, but also some hesitation and confusion. Suddenly, he widened his eyes again:

"No, my little sister was buried by my father and I in the winter when it was snowing heavily... At that time, she was less than a hundred days old..."

Su Wanwan:!!!

That should be confirmed.

She was picked up by her grandparents during a stormy day at the university. Although they didn't know how old she was, they said she was only two or three months old.

He is small and thin, and looks like he is about to die.

Her birthday was also the day her grandmother picked her up.

But how could she remember that the modern seasons were different from the seasons when she came to the ancient times? It was summer in the modern times before she traveled through time, and it was spring when she came here.

Su Wanwan couldn't understand. If she was really the baby girl, according to what Ye Xingzhou said, her birthday should be in autumn, but her birthday was in winter, which was exactly one season different.

Is it because of her time travel that time is messed up?

"You...little sister...is that you?"

Ye Xingzhou seemed to have already decided on Su Wanwan. He walked up to her and looked at her with an excited look on his face.

Su Wanwan shook her head.

"I have no idea......."

She didn't understand either, but seeing Ye Xingzhou so excited, she couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

What if she is not, wouldn’t that make others happy in vain?

"It is indeed difficult to judge based on just a jade pendant. This is made of hundreds of pieces of mutton-fat jade, and it doesn't look like something that an ordinary farmer would own. When Wanwan and I saw Yue'er's jade pendant, we just thought it must have come from the Ye Mansion, so we wanted to return it to its original owner."

Shen Yuan suddenly spoke.

He knew that even if they suspected that Su Wanwan was the daughter of the Ye family, they would not rashly believe it without investigation. They would definitely check it out.

Wanwan is from the modern era and has no way to explain, so now she can only find an excuse to return the jade pendant to its original owner.

If they are interested, they will check it out themselves.

However, most of the time it is difficult to find out the truth. This matter itself is too mysterious and the final result is definitely difficult to find out.

Although it is unclear, because of Wanwan's appearance and the blessing of the jade pendant, the princess will surely recognize this daughter.

"My husband is right. My family is not well-off enough to have this jade pendant. I don't know where it came from, but since it belongs to the Ye family and it is a pair with Xiao Yue'er's, I should return it to the Ye family."

Su Wanwan also nodded.

Both the husband and wife said so, and Ye Xingzhou understood.

This jade pendant is indeed valuable. Anyone who sees an identical jade pendant would think too much.

However, there was no one at Su Wanwan's home, and she didn't know what happened to the jade pendant. She might even suspect that it was picked up by a family member.

"Since you are wearing the jade pendant, there must be a reason. To be honest, this is my younger sister Ye Xingwan's jade pendant."

Ye Xingwan!!!

Shen Yuan and Su Wanwan looked at each other.

Although it was found that the princess had a daughter who died young, no one knew what her name was. This is the first time I heard it.

It even has the word "late" in it!

"At that time, our Ye family was exiled to the northwest. My mother was already pregnant before the exile. It was a bumpy journey and it was already late autumn when we arrived at the exile place. Because she suffered so much on the way, the child almost miscarried several times."

"She stubbornly survived until her destination. Just after we arrived at the place of exile, before we were settled, my little sister was born. She was only the size of a palm and almost died. My mother had no milk. It was bitterly cold in autumn. We tried every possible way to feed my little sister."

"My parents even knelt down and begged a local herdsman to return a ewe, but in the end, my little sister only lived for more than two months. She was too weak and a cold took her life."

Talking about that past event, Ye Xingzhou's suppressed tears flowed out again.

It was a very hard journey. Starting from the capital and walking to the northwest, more than just my younger sister died. Several children from the Ye family died along the way.

"The jade pendant was a piece of jade that my father picked up by chance during his exile. He secretly hid it and carved a phoenix-tail cuckoo with his own hands.

That’s a kind of bird we encountered in the northwest. It’s beautiful. My dad likes beautiful things the most. When he sees that bird, he feels like he sees hope.”
