The elder sister killed the whole family, and came back to be beaten to death

This guy is addicted to it.

If everything went fine twice, is there any need to try a third time?

But it was no use what Shen Tang said. Only after she felt weak all over from the kiss did Xie Guimo let her go.

Shen Tang ran out of the door as if escaping, not even daring to take the house.

Ginkgo and Qiutong were standing outside the door. Seeing Shen Tang coming out in a panic, they thought something had happened. Ginkgo asked, "Miss, where are you going?"

Shen Tang didn't answer, and Ginkgo chased after him.

Shen Tang walked to the front yard in one breath. Usually at this time, Shen Sui would be at home, but he had not returned today. Shen Tang was sitting in the pavilion outside the study, waiting for Shen Sui.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Shen Sui returned home. Shen Sui saw Shen Tang, and Shen Tang also saw him. He immediately stood up and said, "Father is finally back."

Seeing Shen Tang's anxious expression, Shen Sui was a little worried, "But what happened?"

Shen Tang shook his head. "Nothing happened. I went to the study with my father to talk."

Although there were not many people nearby, Shen Tang was still worried.

Shen Tang was so cautious, Shen Sui must have agreed to her request. After entering the study, Shen Tang said, "Father, I may have found my eldest brother."

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Shen Sui was startled. He wanted to speak, but no sound came out. The corners of his eyes were red. After a while, he asked, "Where is your brother?"

Shen Tang said, "I'm not completely sure yet, I need my father to ask clearly."

Shen Sui asked, "Who should I ask?"

"Old Prince Ning."

Shen Sui frowned, "Why ask Old Prince Ning?"

Shen Tang said, "The current Prince of Ning is most likely my eldest brother."

Shen Sui's excited heart instantly cooled down, "How could Prince Ning be your elder brother?"

The image of Xiao Huan flashed through his mind. His features did resemble his, but Yan'er was lost at the Lantern Festival, and it was already very difficult for him to survive. How could he become the prince of Ning Wangfu?

He went to ask rashly, but Prince Ning was so angry that he beat him out.

Shen Tang knew that Shen Sui didn't believe it. Even though she was mentally prepared for her elder brother's noble status, which was beyond her imagination, she still couldn't believe it, let alone her father.

Shen Tang said, "I told father a long time ago that my eldest brother is in Kyoto. He has a birthmark on his lower back, and Prince Ning has a scar in that location. I asked someone to ask him, and Prince Ning didn't deny that the scar was originally a birthmark. I didn't want to ask Old Prince Ning, so I told father and asked him to ask. If Prince Ning is really not Old Prince Ning's grandson, Old Prince Ning will be happy that my eldest brother can find his family again."

"If my father doesn't ask, then I'll ask my grandfather and uncle to ask Old Prince Ning."

In short, she would definitely ask Prince Ning for clarification.

It was the first time Shen Sui knew his daughter was so stubborn. He said, "Don't bother your grandfather and your uncle. I will ask Old Prince Ning tomorrow."

Shen Tang said dissatisfiedly, "It's still early today, can't we go today?"

"...Okay, Father will go now."

Shen Sui still couldn't believe it and wanted to think carefully about whether this was possible, but he couldn't resist his impatient daughter who almost pushed him out of the study.

Shen Sui walked to the gate, and the servant brought the horse forward. Shen Tang watched him climb onto the horse and said, "I'll wait for father to come back in the outer courtyard."

If it wasn't inappropriate, she would have wanted to go.

Prince Ning's Mansion.

Princess Ning showed the old Prince Ning a few of the ladies she had chosen. "These girls look very good to me. Take a look."

Old Prince Ning said, "Of course your choice won't be bad, but what's important is that Huan'er likes it."

Princess Ning said, "Huan'er doesn't care about his own marriage at all. I just asked him twice, and now he's avoiding me. He doesn't even dare to stay in the mansion. He can only stay in Kyoto for a few days a year, and when he comes back, he can't even see me."

Old Prince Ning said, "Take your time to choose, there's no rush."

"There's no rush. I dream of holding my great-grandson. The mansion is too lonely," said Princess Ning, her voice choked with sobs.

Not to mention that Princess Ning felt that the palace was deserted, Prince Ning felt the same way. When Xiao Huan was not in Kyoto, the huge palace was filled with only the two of them, and it was lifeless.

Old Prince Ning said, "I'll talk to Huan'er later and ask him to work harder and marry a princess as soon as possible so that he can have more great-grandchildren for you to hold."

Princess Ning burst into laughter and said, "You just want to make me happy."

Princess Ning was giving the portraits of the ladies from the upper class to the old Prince Ning for selection when a maid came in and said, "Old Prince, the Marquis of Pingyuan wishes to see you."

Old Prince Ning felt strange. Why would Marquis Pingyuan come to see him at this time? Old Prince Ning looked at Old Princess Ning and said, "I'll go and take a look."

Prince Ning put down the portrait, stood up and left.

Shen Sui was in the front yard, and the steward was inviting him to tea. When Old Prince Ning walked in, Shen Sui stood up and saluted Old Prince Ning. Old Prince Ning asked, "Why is Marquis Pingyuan coming to my Ning Palace?"

Shen Sui looked at Prince Ning and opened his mouth several times, but he really didn't know how to start.

His son was lost at a young age, and he has no children to this day. Prince Ning's two sons also died early, leaving him with only one grandson.

Shen Sui felt that what he was going to ask would be too cruel to Old Prince Ning. He couldn't ask it, and being beaten out was secondary. What he feared more was hurting Old Prince Ning.

Shen Sui hesitated to speak, but Old Prince Ning thought it was inconvenient to speak because there were people in the main hall, so he waved his hand to send the person away. "Marquis Pingyuan, if you have something to say, please speak directly."

Shen Sui steeled his heart and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I am here to ask you if there is a birthmark the size of a copper coin on the lower back of the prince..."

Old Prince Ning's expression changed. He raised his hand to interrupt Shen Sui and said, "Let's talk in my study."

Old Prince Ning started walking away, and Shen Sui followed him.

When they arrived at the study, Old Prince Ning handed Shen Sui a pen and said, "Draw the coin-sized birthmark you are looking for. Let me see it."

Shen Sui took it, and Prince Ning gave him another piece of paper.

Shen Sui then drew the birthmark.

After he finished the painting, he handed it to Prince Ning, who took out a piece of paper from the drawer and opened it.

There was also a birthmark drawn on that piece of paper.

It is exactly the same as the one painted by Shen Sui.

Shen Sui's heart was shaken. He felt a little hope in his heart because of the things he had not dared to believe before. He knelt down and said, "Please tell me the truth, old Prince Ning."

Even if Xiao Huan is not his son, Prince Ning must have clues about his son.

Although this birthmark is only the size of a copper coin, it is not round and a corner of it protrudes. It is impossible for two birthmarks like this to look exactly the same.

Prince Ning's eyes turned red as he helped Shen Sui up. "A tiger father will have a dog son. Huan'er is both civil and military. I knew his biological parents were good. I never thought Huan'er would be your son, Shen Sui."

"But Huan'er's birthmark disappeared ten years ago. Only a scar remains where it was. How did you know this?"

Shen Sui said, "I'm ashamed to say I don't know anything about this. My daughter said that my late wife appeared in her dream and told her that her eldest brother was in Kyoto. I don't know why she thought that Prince Ning was Yan'er's. Before I could ask, my daughter pushed me to ask you, Your Majesty."

Shen Sui choked up and asked, "How did Yan'er come to be with you, Old Prince?"
