[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

"What did you say?"

Rong Enqing felt as if he was struck by lightning. "Tell me again, who has the potion?"

"Mother, you heard it right. The potion is indeed with Yun Ye."

"Yun Ye!?" Rong Enqing swallowed hard and asked in a hoarse voice, "You, you secretly hid the potion in Yun Ye's room, right? Where? I'll ask someone to get it."

"I gave the potion directly to Yun Ye for safekeeping. You can just ask him for it."

Yun Hao's words completely shattered the last bit of fantasy in Rong Enqing's heart.

She hoped that everything was Yun Hao's lie, she hoped that Yun Ye didn't know about it, she hoped that Yun Ye didn't hide anything from her...

However, with Yun Hao's words, all his hopes became a joke.

"No! I don't believe what you say!" Rong Enqing stretched out his hand and pushed Yun Hao away. Yun Hao, who was trapped like a dumpling, was caught off guard and fell to the ground.

Rong Enqing didn't care whether he was injured or not. He stood up and walked to the door, opened it, and whispered to Xiu Zhang: "Go to Yun Ye in person to ask for something. Just tell him that I want to leave the bottle of medicine with him. Don't say anything else. Go quickly and come back soon."

"Yes." Xiu Zhang responded and left.

Rong Enqing just stood at the door and didn't come into the house.

Her mind was in a mess. She didn't know whether she should believe Yun Hao's words.

She wanted to wait for Xiu Zhang to come back, and also wait for a result.

Xiu Zhang was skilled in martial arts and walked briskly. Knowing that Rong Enqing was anxious, he did not delay on the way back.

Not long after, he came back with what Rong Enqing wanted.

"Madam, this is the potion you asked for." Xiu Zhang handed a palm-sized mutton-fat jade bottle to Rong Enqing.

Rong Enqing looked at the small bottle in front of him in disbelief, took it with trembling hands, his face already pale.

But she still didn't give up, and asked stubbornly: "Did you get it from Yun Ye?"

"Yes." Xiu Zhang answered. She couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Didn't the lady personally tell her to ask the young marquis what he had brought? Why did she ask this question at this moment?

However, Rong Enqing then continued to ask: "Did Yun Ye give it to you personally?"

"Yes, Madam." Xiu Zhang was even more confused.

Rong Enqing closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and his emotions surged in his heart. After a long time, he opened his eyes again and ordered, "Go get me a basin of clean water."

This time, Xiu Zhang didn't need to go in person. The servant quickly fetched a basin of clean water from the kitchen on the first floor.

Rong Enqing did not ask anyone else to do it, but personally carried the water into the house and placed it on the table. He turned around and closed the door before returning.

At this time, Yun Hao had already stood up from the ground and sat on a stool beside him.

"Mother, have you got the potion?"

Rong Enqing did not answer, but took out the potion, gently dropped a drop into the clear water, and asked coldly: "Then what? What should we do next?"

"Wet the handkerchief and put it on your face. After three breaths, the human skin mask can be easily peeled off."

Rong Enqing looked at the empty basin, thought for a moment, and threw his handkerchief into the basin.

Just as she picked up the handkerchief, she suddenly threw it back into the basin, walked behind Yun Hao, untied the rope on him, and said in a tired voice: "Do it yourself."

"Okay." Yun Hao, who was released, looked a little excited, and even his tone was a little cheerful.

Rong Enqing walked to a chair nearby and waited quietly.

Yun Hao took out the handkerchief, wrung it half dry, then unfolded it and covered his entire face.

After a moment, Yun Hao took off the handkerchief and began to slowly press and grope his jaw with his fingers.

In the blink of an eye, Yun Hao tore off a thin human skin mask from his face. Yun Hao's face also instantly turned into Yun Hong's face.

Rong Enqing's pupils suddenly shrank, and he was stunned by the facts before him.

Jiang is the nominal white moonlight of Yun Town, but she is not a beauty in the traditional sense. She just had more of the temperament of a little white flower than others when she was young. In terms of appearance, she is at most pretty.

Therefore, although Yun Hao, born to Jiang, inherited the good looks of the Yun family, he was only slightly superior to ordinary people.

Yun Hong, on the other hand, inherited the original body's beauty and the Yun family's good genes. In terms of appearance alone, Yun Hong is far better than Yun Hao.

After traveling through time, this was the first time Rong Enqing saw the legendary Yun Hong. It was also the first time he discovered that a man could be so handsome!

At this moment, she suddenly understood that the reason why Yun Hong was praised by Emperor Taihe himself and became the dream lover of the girls in the capital was not only because of his own excellence, but also because of his appearance, which was probably his weapon to win people's hearts.

However, these are not the point. The point is, why did Yun Hao become Yun Hong?

When was Yun Hao replaced by Yun Hong?

Where did the real Yun Hao go?

Does Yun Ye know that the current Yun Hao is Yun Hong in disguise? Obviously, he knows!

So when did he start to know?

Why didn’t Yun Ye tell her anything?

……

Rong Enqing's mind was full of questions.

"Mother."

Yun Hao, no, it should be Yun Hong.

Yun Hong slowly walked to Rong Enqing, squatted down, looked up at her, and said softly, "Mother, my son is back. I pretended to be dead and made you sad. I am unfilial. I will be filial to you in the future, and I will never let you feel sad for me again."

Yun Hong reached out and held Rong Enqing's hand, then gently put his face against it, his expression full of attachment and devotion to his mother.

However, Rong Enqing pulled his hand back at the speed of light, as if he was on fire.

Under Yun Hong's stunned gaze, Rong Enqing asked cautiously, "When did you start pretending to be Yun Hao? Where is the real Yun Hao?"

Yun Hong was stunned, and a hint of bitterness slowly appeared on his face.

He said, "Two months ago, not long after the Song family was executed and exiled, I replaced Yun Hao. Because the Song family was in trouble, even if my behavior is occasionally different from Yun Hao's, others will only think that I have been hit and my temperament has changed."

"Two months ago..." Rong Enqing's eyes were deep, "Song's illness seemed to have happened two months ago?"

"Yes. It was Aunt Jiang and I who suggested that Song should die of illness." Yun Hong said bluntly, "Aunt Jiang is easy to fool. As long as I give in to her wishes and let her do whatever she wants in the mansion, she will not doubt my identity. But Song is different. She has been sleeping with me day and night, but after just a few days, she has vaguely sensed the difference between Yun Hao and me. So, she can't stay!"

If Song was here, she would tell Rong Enqing that when the Song family was in trouble, Yun Hao became a little crazy. But later, Yun Hao seemed to have returned to his original state.

However, Song's suspicion of Yun Hong was still at this initial stage, and she was sentenced to death by Yun Hong. After that, there was no contact, and she didn't even have the opportunity to discover the secret that Yun Hong was not Yun Hao.

Just because you are worried that Song will discover your identity, you want to kill Song?

After hearing Yun Hong's explanation, Rong Enqing felt a chill in his heart.

Is this still the perfect eldest son in the original body’s memory?

Rong Enqing suppressed his discomfort and asked, "What about Yun Hao? Where is the real Yun Hao?"

"Dead." Yun Hong's mouth curled up slightly, like mockery, but also like regret, "Yun Hao knows that he is not strong, and living will only cause harm."
