Chapter 80: Many Doubts
Ji Yun and Gu Yazhu looked at Gu Yichen and Lu Ling'er with a smile, and said softly: "Yichen, Ling'er, you see, Che'er is the best evidence. Yichen, you are our son." Ji Yun's tone was gentle, but the deep meaning in his words could not be ignored.
Lu Ling'er stood quietly beside Gu Yichen, her heart still shrouded in doubt. She raised her head slightly and glanced at Gu Yichen furtively. Although he did not speak, his expression seemed slightly heavy. Gu Yichen lowered his voice and gently asked in Lu Ling'er's ear: "Can you detect the flaw in the disguise? Or do we need to use potions to verify it?" When he spoke, his tone was unusually light, but there was a faint glimmer of uneasiness in his eyes. After all, Ji Junche's shockingly familiar face was so strikingly similar to his appearance before he lost his memory, which undoubtedly stirred huge waves in his heart.
"Third brother, sister-in-law." Ji Junche greeted everyone with an elegant, gentle smile. His voice was filled with warmth and naturalness, and he had clearly fully adapted to this new role. He was dressed in a purple brocade robe, exuding an air of elegance and grace. His features bore a striking resemblance to Gu Yichen, his gentle yet somewhat dignified demeanor evoking the close blood ties between them.
Gu Yichen and Lu Linger nodded slightly in response, but Ji Yun didn't care. Instead, he looked at Ji Junche with a smile and asked with concern: "Che'er, are you feeling okay?"
Gu Yazhu standing by also nodded with a smile, a hint of tenderness in her eyes, and it was obvious that she was very concerned about the health of her youngest son.
Upon hearing this, Ji Junche nodded quickly and said, "Thank you, father and mother, for your concern. I am much better now."
Lu Linger was also observing Ji Junche carefully at this time, and began to think secretly in her heart.
This brother-in-law gave people a very special feeling. He seemed to have a calm temperament similar to that of her husband Gu Yichen. It was a kind of decisiveness and calmness honed after experiencing the vicissitudes of life.
However, with the delicate mind unique to women, Lu Linger keenly felt that Ji Junche's physical condition was not as simple as it seemed.
She suddenly remembered that just a few months ago, Gu Yichen had also been poisoned, and the symptoms he had at that time were almost exactly the same as Ji Junche's current ones!
Gu Yichen's heart wavered. Although the man before him was his biological brother, his lost memories had made the connection between him and his family seem like a thin mist. He could feel Lu Ling'er holding his hand beside him, and the gentle touch seemed to bring him a sense of comfort, temporarily freeing him from his inner hesitation.
After everyone took their seats, servants began serving refreshments. The atmosphere in the courtyard was warm and peaceful, but beneath this seemingly harmonious surface, everyone seemed to harbor secrets and unresolved issues. Although Gu Yichen was at home, his confusion about his identity and the unsolved mystery of his past kept him from completely letting go of his guard and uneasiness.
Lu Ling'er sat quietly by the side, her eyes occasionally scanning everyone in the room, secretly speculating on their thoughts. Her gaze finally fell on Ji Yun, and she saw his calm yet deep expression, which seemed to hide endless secrets. Gu Yazhu, on the other hand, would occasionally look at her with gentle eyes, which made her feel a little warm, but at the same time, she also noticed something strange.
As time went by, Lu Ling'er's thoughts became clearer and clearer. She recalled what had happened before, especially the scene of Ji Junche's poisoning and the strange symptoms that Gu Yichen had once experienced. These details continued to intertwine in her mind, gradually sketching out a vague picture. She began to suspect that all this was not a coincidence, but a deeper connection.
At that moment, a thought flashed through Lu Ling'er's mind. She recalled Ji Yun and Gu Yazhu's attitude toward her and Gu Yichen—a seemingly friendly yet distant feeling. She realized that they had brought her and Gu Yichen to this mansion for more than just a simple reunion. There must be other motives, though they hadn't yet revealed them.
Thinking of this, Lu Linger took a deep breath and decided not to remain silent. She wanted to lift the veil of mystery and see what truth lay hidden behind it. So, while everyone was chatting, she suddenly spoke up, "Father, Mother, I have a few words to say. Can you please send everyone away?" Her voice was firm and decisive, attracting everyone's attention.
