Shen Tang didn't go anywhere. He just sat in the pavilion in the outer courtyard, waiting for Shen Sui to come back. His father wouldn't stay in Prince Ning's Mansion for long at this time. He would go back to Qingyi Garden to wait there too. Sitting there saved him the trouble of running back and forth.

But this wait lasted for more than half an hour, and the sunset in the sky was gorgeous, rendering the sky as fiery as fire.

Ginkgo was getting impatient. It was almost time for dinner, why hadn't the Marquis come back yet? Knowing Shen Tang was anxious, Ginkgo also wanted to know if Prince Ning was the missing prince who had been missing for over a decade. Knowing it was useless to persuade Shen Tang, she didn't even open her mouth.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Yin Xing saw Shen Sui coming over and hurriedly said, "Miss, the Marquis is back."

Shen Tang quickly stood up and walked out of the pavilion in three or two steps. Seeing that Shen Sui's eyes were red, Shen Tang's heart was in turmoil. He didn't know whether the redness in his eyes was due to disappointment or happiness.

"Father……"

Shen Tang called softly.

Shen Sui only said, "Father should thank you very much."

Shen Tang's suppressed joy surged up, tears welled up in his eyes, and he choked up so much that he couldn't make a sound, "Really, it really is Big Brother..."

Shen Sui had something to ask Shen Tang and some instructions to give him, so he went to the study to talk.

After entering the study, Shen Tang asked, "How did Big Brother become the grandson of Old Prince Ning?"

If it weren't for the little information that Shen Xian revealed before her death in her previous life, which gave her the courage to guess, how could Shen Tang dare to guess that Prince Ning's only grandson was her biological elder brother? Even now, it still feels like a dream, and she feels that she is really daring to think so.

The questions Shen Tang asked Shen Sui were exactly the same as what Shen Sui asked Old Prince Ning. When Old Prince Ning asked them, Shen Sui felt a pang in his heart, and now that he said it out loud, it felt like the knife was cutting him again.

When Shen Yan was four years old, he went to the Jiang family to play and was taken by the Jiang family to visit the Lantern Festival. At that time, there was some trouble at the Lantern Festival. The attention of Master Jiang and the servants was on the two young masters of the Jiang family. After a short interruption, Shen Yan disappeared. During those days, Shen Sui led the entire Marquis' Mansion to search almost the entire Kyoto, but there was no sign of Shen Yan.

When Prince Ning found Shen Yan, he was just a little beggar. He was fighting with others for steamed buns and was beaten with a bleeding head.

The noble families would train secret guards and usually select them from orphans. Shen Yan was the son of Shen Sui, a descendant of a general. He had excellent physique and was a genius in martial arts. In addition, the tenacity he showed when snatching the steamed buns made Prince Ning admire him very much.

At that time, Prince Ning never thought that Shen Yan would become his grandson. Eleven years ago, the Prince of Ning was still the eldest son of Prince Ning. He was injured on the battlefield and died. At that time, the Princess was taking the frail young master to recuperate in a separate courtyard. The young master was very ill, and the Princess was exhausted from taking care of him. After hearing the bad news, she fell ill and could not get up.

The Crown Prince's wife passed away in the villa, and the young master's condition worsened. The imperial physician used countless rare medicinal herbs, but he could only barely keep him alive for half a year.

Prince Ning and Princess Ning had only two sons, and their two sons only left behind a little grandson. The two deaths of their own children were enough to take Princess Ning's life. Prince Ning did not dare to tell Princess Ning the news of his grandson's death and had to keep it secret.

But it is impossible for the grandson to stay away from Beijing for his entire life. Old Princess Ning kept talking about bringing her grandson back. Just when Old Prince Ning was at a loss, Old Prince Ning saw Shen Yan. Shen Yan looked somewhat similar to his little grandson. In addition, he had been sent to a separate courtyard for two years to recuperate due to illness. When he left, he was sick and thin. In addition, it was he who brought his grandson back, so Old Princess Ning would not be suspicious.

Old Prince Ning came up with the idea of ​​letting Shen Yan pretend to be his grandson, but the only thing that would reveal him was that Shen Yan had a birthmark the size of a copper coin on his lower back, which the real young master of Prince Ning's Mansion did not have.

The confidant wanted to destroy the birthmark on Shen Yan's body, but Prince Ning would not let him. Shen Yan had no memory of his childhood, and the birthmark was a symbol of his identity. Perhaps one day in the future he would find his family with the birthmark. Shen Yan was good at studying and practicing martial arts diligently. Prince Ning wished that Shen Yan was really his grandson.

This plan was shelved because of the birthmark, but what Prince Ning said was heard by Shen Yan. Before he met Prince Ning, he was just a little beggar, sleeping in the open air, bullied everywhere, and God knew when he would die. It was Prince Ning who provided him with food and clothing, gave him the opportunity to read and write, and taught him martial arts. He had no way to repay him, so Shen Yan faced the bronze mirror and used a knife to cut off the birthmark.

He didn't know how he became a beggar. Perhaps he had no family left, so there was no point in keeping the birthmark. Besides, this birthmark was engraved in his heart and he would never forget it.

In this way, Shen Yan became Ning's grandson Xiao Huan, and was taken back to Ning's Mansion by Ning's Mansion. However, Ning's Mansion was afraid of being exposed, so he did not dare to let Shen Yan stay in Ning's Mansion for too long. He often sent him back to the villa after a few days on the pretext of a relapse of illness. However, from that day on, Shen Yan was no longer a death warrior trained in Ning's Mansion. Ning's Mansion really treated him as his own grandson and hired someone to teach him piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs.

Shen Tang knew that her brother disappeared because of the conspiracy of the second wife, and he must have suffered hardships while wandering outside, but she did not expect that her eldest brother would fall to the level of a beggar. No wonder her father's eyes were red when he came back.

Shen Tang's nose was sore, "Did father see big brother?"

Xiao Huan returned to the capital because Princess Ning felt that he was old enough to get married and wanted to marry him to a Crown Princess. However, Xiao Huan was mindful of his identity. He was not the real Crown Prince of the Ning Palace, so how could he marry those ladies from wealthy families? When Prince Ning and Princess Ning wanted him to look at portraits, Xiao Huan made excuses to avoid them. Princess Ning often didn't see Xiao Huan for the whole day.

When Shen Sui went to find Prince Ning, Xiao Huan had not returned home yet. Prince Ning saw him out of the house. Xiao Huan happened to be riding back on horseback, and the father and son met hurriedly at the door.

Old Prince Ning knew that Xiao Huan was Shen Sui's son, and was happy that Shen Sui had such a good son. However, Old Princess Ning was old and her health was not as good as before. If she knew that Xiao Huan was not her biological grandson, she would not be able to bear the blow. Old Prince Ning had already lost his son and grandson, and if Old Princess Ning, his wife, also left him, he was afraid that he would not even dare to return to the Prince Ning Mansion.

Prince Ning saved Xiao Huan's life and raised him so well. Shen Sui was so grateful that he didn't dare to ignore Princess Ning's life or death and insist on recognizing his son.

The father and son were just looking at each other from afar, and Old Prince Ning felt very unhappy. If Shen Sui had another son, he would have adopted Xiao Huan as his own. But Xiao Huan was the only son of Shen Sui, and Old Prince Ning couldn't bear to let the father and son meet and not recognize each other.

Shen Sui asked Shen Tang, "How did you know Xiao Huan was your elder brother?"

Shen Tang didn't dare tell Shen Sui about his rebirth after death. In addition, he had been using the excuse of his late mother's dream, so he had no choice but to continue. "My mother told me in my dream that my eldest brother was in Kyoto and of noble status. Plus, my eldest brother's eyebrows and eyes resemble my father's. Whenever I go out of the house to attend a banquet, I always look for people who look like my father. That day on the street, Prince Ning saved me. His eyebrows and eyes are almost identical to my father's, and his status is even more extraordinary. I wondered if he could be my eldest brother..."

"My daughter didn't have the opportunity to ask Prince Ning in person, so she could only ask someone to find out if he had a birthmark. He neither confirmed nor denied it, so I couldn't verify it, so I could only tell my father the truth."

His daughter dared to think that Jiang's dream was for him. Even if he met Xiao Huan many times, he would not dare to think that Xiao Huan was his son.

I waited and searched for fifteen years, but I never thought that I would find my son one day.

God knows how happy he is at this moment.

Shen Tang took in Shen Sui's joy and poured cold water on him, saying, "Father has found my eldest brother, so he should tell Grandmother and Grandfather the good news. I believe the Jiang family will keep it a secret, but I don't believe Grandmother can hold back from telling Second Uncle. I don't want my father's filial piety to bring disaster to my eldest brother."
