An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

There was a knock on the door,

Not surprisingly, Ah Heng was outside the door, still holding the horse he rode today.

After the door opened, he did not come in immediately, nor did he salute, but let the person behind him in.

A young woman was wearing gray clothes and a veil on her head, and she was holding a little girl of three or four years old in her hands.

The clothes on both of them were neat and clean, which didn't match the beggar's outfit that Ah Heng was originally wearing.

As soon as they entered the door, the woman pulled the little girl to salute them. Xiaoman silently stepped aside and took the reins from Ah Heng's hand. Jing Chunxi couldn't avoid it and could only accept it.

"Madam, please come this way." Jing Chunxi smiled slightly and led them into the front hall.

The table and chairs were already set up in the front hall, and the dishes were served. Jing Chunxi motioned for them to sit down, and Ah Heng pulled the little girl aside.

However, the woman did not take off her veil, and continued to look at Jing Chunxi with a look of suspicion, perhaps because she felt that Jing Chunxi was too young and did not completely trust her.

"Madam, please sit down and eat first." Jing Chunxi acted nonchalant and sat down first, handing the little girl a pair of chopsticks. The little girl took the chopsticks, staring at her curiously, and then looked at her brother.

The lady finally took off her veil and placed it on the chair next to her before slowly sitting down in her seat.

She was tall and thin, and, as expected, her facial features and eyes bore a resemblance to Tao Jin's; she was a beautiful and gentle woman. However, it was obvious that she was now somewhat haggard, and her eyes held an inexplicable sadness.

Jing Chunxi silently took out the black jade hanging around his neck and gently placed it on the table near Ah Heng and his wife.

"Are you from the Tao family?"

"how come?"

Madam and Ah Heng exclaimed in almost unison. They approached the jade almost simultaneously. As the woman picked it up, her hands trembled, tears welled in her eyes, and she kept muttering, "How could it be? How could it be? Sister Lan only has one, so it should be with the prince. Could it be... that you are her later child? Are you her daughter?"

Then she looked up at Jing Chunxi again, shook her head uncertainly, and asked, "What's wrong with the prince?"

Seeing that the words the woman shouted were almost crazy, she might be worried that something happened to Tao Jin, so the black jade was passed to her.

Jing Chunxi quickly said, "The prince is fine, they are all fine."

Jing Chunxi was very sure of the identity of this family. It was undoubtedly Tao Jin's aunt's family.

Jing Chunxi was happy for Tao Jin, after all, she had inadvertently helped him find his family. But seeing his wife's mental state, she didn't dare to tell her right away that Tao Jin's mother had passed away. She decided to let Tao Jin communicate with them slowly in the future.

The lady was finally relieved after hearing this and sat down quietly, but she did not move her chopsticks. She did not put down the jade pendant that Jing Chunxi had left. She just looked at Jing Chunxi with suspicion, tears still in her eyes, and said, "You don't look like my sister, not at all."

In fact, her eyes seemed to want a positive answer from Jing Chunxi.

Ah Heng also looked expectant, with red eyes, and said affectionately: "You are my cousin, right? You must be."

Jing Chunxi did not answer him. She didn't know how to explain and how to make them believe that Tao Jin would give her such a precious token.

At this time, Ah Heng also took down his piece of black jade. When the two pieces of jade were compared together, they were exactly the same in size, color, and shape. They should have been taken out from the same piece of jade.

"Every grandchild of the Tao family has an identical piece. Our mother also gave it to us when we got married. My sister's piece was given to the prince. He was only two years old at that time." The lady choked up a little when she spoke, but she was very calm.

"The prince has been looking for you. He was in Xunyang City two days ago and just went to Jian'an County." Jing Chunxi told them the truth to reassure them.

"Really? Will he come back? What about my sister?" Madam suddenly raised her voice again, but her expression was very calm. She held Jing Chunxi's hand tightly, holding it so tightly that it hurt.

"Mother!" Ah Heng realized that something was wrong with her and called out anxiously.

This reminder finally made Mrs. Tao let go of her hand, but her anxious eyes did not change at all.

"You will meet, he will definitely come back, and I will send him a message as soon as possible. By the way, why did you come to Xunyang City? Brother Xiaokang has been looking for you in several counties near the capital and in my uncle's hometown. He never thought you would come back."

"Xiaoyasu?"

Mrs. Tao raised a question. A two-year-old child hasn't even started learning. Some families probably don't even have names, let alone characters. It's normal for them not to know. But Jing Chunxi didn't dare to reveal Tao Jin's name, fearing that knowing that Tao Jin used his mother's surname would lead to unwarranted speculation and even make them sadder.

"The prince's name!"

Perhaps sensing the flaw in Jing Chunxi's words, Madam Tao suddenly asked, "Who is that young lady? Why does she have this jade piece from the prince?"

Jing Chunxi stared at her for a long time before saying, "My surname is Jing. I'm from General Jing's Mansion, and I'm someone Brother Xiaokang trusts. You can trust me too. We're living in Tao's Mansion now, but we'll be leaving soon."

Jing Chunxi no longer had any concerns about such a family. After all, the two families had similar experiences and could be said to be in the same boat.

Mrs. Tao looked at Jing Chunxi in surprise, then at Ah Heng. Seeing Ah Heng nodded, her tears began to flow.

"Our home is still there! Then Chengrui, Chengzhi, and Ah Heng~ Hurry! Hurry up!..." Hope suddenly ignited in Mrs. Tao's eyes, and there was a glimmer of light, which kept urging Ah Heng.

Ah Heng nodded and rushed out. The little girl next to Jing Chunxi was not scared. She kept staring at Jing Chunxi and his mother's faces, her eyes moving around. It was unknown how much she understood.

When Jing Chunxi heard Mrs. Tao say these two names, hope ignited in his heart. Seeing Mrs. Tao's eagerness, he knew that these two people must be extraordinary. He could only secretly pray that his guess was correct.

If it was as she thought, then Tao Jin's heart would not die. Whether the Tao family could leave behind a bloodline has always been a knot in the hearts of him and his mother. Perhaps that glimmer of hope still exists.

"You eat first!"

Jing Chunxi took advantage of this pause to scoop half a bowl of chicken soup for the little girl and Mrs. Tao.

Then he said, "Don't worry, ma'am. Everything will be fine. What matters is filling your stomach."

But neither the mother nor the daughter picked up their chopsticks, and the little girl was well-behaved and didn't say anything or make a fuss.

Aside from a pair of dark eyes, the little girl didn't look much like Mrs. Tao. She might have been more like her father. She blinked her big, beautiful eyes and said, "Thank you, sister! The cakes are delicious. I'm not hungry."

The look on his face seemed to indicate that he had already eaten quite a bit of the sweets and cakes.

Mrs. Tao also nodded and said, "Ah Heng said you bought the cakes. Thank you!"

Jing Chunxi smiled awkwardly and said, "Since you are Brother Xiaokang's relatives, everything is what you should do. No need to thank me!"

"Is my sister doing well in Lingnan?" Mrs. Tao asked suddenly, leaving Jing Chunxi stunned.

After organizing her thoughts, she said, "I heard from Brother Xiaokang that she is doing well, and is still thinking about her aunt and wants to go home to see her." Then she said nothing more.

About half a cup of tea later, as expected, Ah Heng brought back two people.
