"Madam, you can't do that!" Village Chief Fang had a look of anxiety on his face. He seemed to want to say something but hesitated. One could tell at a glance that he had something to say.

Madam Lin, however, had a resolute look on her face. "Old man, what can we not say now? Our hard times are over! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has finally returned! With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here, the grievances of the Suning and Ning families will surely be redressed."

As soon as Mrs. Lin finished speaking, she heard a reply from outside the door: "Madam, you are absolutely right!"

Everyone was startled when they heard the words and looked in the direction of the voice. They saw a handsome young man in white standing at the door. It was Yun Qing, followed by a group of people.

"You can tell me all about the grievances of the Suning and Suning families. I will definitely make a decision for you today."

The Fang family hall had never been so lively, and never had so many distinguished guests come at once.

Yun Qing sat at the top. After receiving everyone's greetings, there was really no place else to sit. Everyone consciously divided into two groups, each standing in their own position. It was really like attending court.

Of course, Mu Qingcheng was not among the worshippers. Furthermore, the seat next to Yun Qing was always reserved for Mu Qingcheng. He held her hand, and the two of them sat side by side at the head of the table.

Mu Qingcheng originally wanted to find a place to hide and come out after they all finished kneeling, but she didn't expect Yun Qing to hold her back and she had to sit next to him.

Yun Qing waited until everyone was seated before speaking seriously, "Madam Lin, I'm busy today, so please be brief. Why did you mention that the Su family still has descendants?"

Mrs. Lin stepped forward and said, "The Su family does have descendants, and they are the two brothers." She pointed at Fang Bo and Fang He. Fang He was trying hard to support his brother, and was shocked when he saw Mrs. Lin pointing at them.

"Ah? Are they descendants of the Su family?"

"Which branch are you from?"

Su Qingyan excitedly walked up to Madam Lin and asked anxiously, "Madam! Are they really our Su family?"

Mrs. Lin's eyes were filled with tears: "Not only are their surnames Su, they are also the grandsons of Master Su Liu and the biological sons of your uncle Su Yi!"

A bolt of thunder struck Su Qingyan's head, causing her to stagger and almost fall. Ning Haochen quickly held her up.

"Is my uncle still alive? Where is he? What is going on?"

Mrs. Lin was filled with grief. "Su Yi, poor Su Yi! He was very smart since he was young. He started learning at the age of three and passed the imperial examination at the age of thirteen. Such a brilliant man can only stay in this remote mountain village, barely surviving, just to leave a descendant for your Su family. How miserable his life is! If it weren't for these two brothers, he would have wanted to die long ago."

Fang Bo and Fang He also thought of their father. Their father had always been different from the villagers here. In their eyes, their father was not talkative and always looked depressed.

That’s it, that’s it!

Having been educated and seen the outside world, Fang He could now better understand his father's inner torment. A thirteen-year-old scholar! He was fifteen this year and hadn't even passed the Tongsheng exam.

Su Qingyan knew very well how talented her uncle was. There were many articles and calligraphy and paintings left by her uncle in the Su family study. She had been influenced by them since she was a child and knew that her uncle had great vision.

Unexpectedly, he ended up here, working as a farmer for half his life, just to leave a descendant for the Su family!

"Why? Why did this happen? Didn't my uncle die after falling off a cliff while being attacked by bandits on his way to the wedding?"

Madam Lin shook her head and sighed, "That was just a trap your grandfather set up to save Su Yi! There was no bride at all, and the bandits were just people your grandfather hired to impersonate them. Only the wedding procession was real. They saw Su Yi fall off the cliff with their own eyes, but there was someone waiting for him at the bottom. At the time, Su Yi himself didn't even know about it. He was secretly sent here while unconscious. It was Master Su Liu who secretly sent someone to deliver a letter to me, asking me to take care of him. From then on, Master Su Liu completely cut off contact with Su Yi and just thought his son was dead."

Everyone felt a pang of regret when they heard this! Su Yi was only seventeen or eighteen years old back then. He was suddenly thrown into this small mountain village. From then on, the rich young man became a poor farmer, unable to leave the mountains for the rest of his life, and making a living by farming and hunting!

Falling from the altar to the dust, how could he not be depressed and unhappy? And his father, who personally pushed his son into the abyss, must have felt so heartbroken to make such a decision! It was like a heart-wrenching pain!

Mu Qingcheng felt both sorry and happy for Su Qingyan: "When I first saw Fang Bo, I thought he looked very familiar. Now I realize that the two brothers look alike with Sister Su!"

Yun Qing leaned over and asked quietly, "Is it just because he looks like Su Qingyan? Isn't it because he's good-looking that you look at him more?"

These words sounded sour, and the little black guys all quietly stayed away from their masters, careful not to be affected.

Mu Qingcheng glanced at Yun Qing and said deliberately, "That's true! Now that you mention it, I realize that the Fang brothers are really good-looking. The Su family has good genes."

Yun Qing's face darkened immediately. He didn't know whether he should be angry with himself or with himself! Anyway, he didn't dare to be angry with Mu Qingcheng!

Su Qingyan had already gone over, hugging the two brothers and crying uncontrollably: "If Grandpa knew that he still had two grandchildren like you, he would finally be able to rest in peace in his grave!"

Mu Qingcheng couldn't bear to watch this scene. She wanted to go over and cry with them. She could only persuade them, "Sister Su, stop crying. This is a happy thing. Your Su family has two sons. This is a happy event. You have also found two brothers. From now on, you finally have relatives! Fang Bo, Fang He, hurry up and call me sister!"

Feng Zhishang: "Oh! They are no longer surnamed Fang, but Su! This is the only way to honor their father. This is what he earned with his life."

Fang Xurao was also filled with emotion: "That's right, from now on they will be surnamed Su, and they won't have to hide in this small mountain village and live in anonymity! Su Yi can finally rest in peace!"

Fang Bo and Fang He knelt down and kowtowed to Su Qingyan: "Sister!"

The word "sister" moistened Su Qingyan's dry heart like a spring breeze. She knelt down and hugged her two brothers, crying, "Together, let's revive the Su family!"

"Okay!" the two brothers said in unison!

"Good! Very good!" Yun Qing also said: "You two brothers have finally recognized your ancestors. I think it's better to change your names now! Then, I will send someone to escort you three siblings and move Su Xiao and Su Yi's coffins back to the Su family's ancestral land in Shouchun! Let them reunite and fulfill Old Master Su's wish!"

Su Qingyan knelt down and said, "Your Highness! Can you move my mother's remains as well so she can be reunited with her father and brother?"

"Of course you can! Just move the graves, and I'll see who dares to stop us!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace!" Su Qingyan and his two brothers kowtowed to Yun Qing. Fang Bo suddenly said, "Your Highness, I, a humble commoner, have another unwelcome request. I hope Your Highness will grant it!"

"Say!"

"I hope Your Highness will give us two brothers names! When we return to Shouchun in the future, we can also be listed in the family tree with dignity!"

It was another naming issue, and Yun Qing felt a headache again. He looked at Mu Qingcheng, but who knew that this little girl was waiting to see the show!

Yun Qing covered her mouth and coughed lightly, then thought for a moment before slowly saying, "The morning light paints the sky with a rosy glow, and the lush greenery welcomes the rising sun. My brother took the name Chenxi, and my younger brother will be called Chaoyang."

Su Qingyan finally smiled with joy after hearing this. She said excitedly, "Su Chenxi, Su Chaoyang! What wonderful names! Dawn greets the rising sun, just like a new life. This is a new beginning for our Su family, and it also means that our Su family has new hope. Great! Thank you, Your Highness!"

Su Chenxi and Su Chaoyang also showed silly smiles, and hurriedly followed Su Qingyan to kowtow and express their gratitude.

The journey home has cost three generations of their family a heavy price, and it is still full of hardships! But no matter what, they have hope.

Yun Qing looked at the brothers and said earnestly, "I hope you two brothers will not forget the hardships and sacrifices of your fathers. In the future, you must revive the glory of the Su family and shoulder your responsibilities."
