The housekeeper asked worriedly, "What should we do now? If the daughter of the Yin family returns to Shicheng, I'm afraid the Yin family will be in great turmoil. Originally, the position of head of the family should have belonged to Yin Yue!"
The elder of the clan regained his composure in an instant. He sarcastically said, "There is no evidence in the world that she is the legitimate daughter of the Yin family. Everyone around her mother is dead. As long as we stick to one statement and refuse to admit it, she will never be able to enter the Yin family and recognize her ancestry!"
The housekeeper nodded. "That's right. To avoid being caught off guard, we should quickly send the news that we've found her back to Madam so she can prepare for the situation!"
The patriarch did not dare to delay and immediately went to the study to write the letter.
He had to instruct his wife to review the events of that year carefully to avoid leaving any survivors or omissions that would destroy the eldest wife's entire fortune.
After he finished writing, he quickly ordered someone to send it back to Shicheng at full speed.
He said quietly, "Yin Nianyue, no matter whether the daughter of the Yin family you found is real or not, as long as you dare to bring her back to Shicheng, she must be fake!"
He raised the corners of his lips in mockery, his eyes filled with bone-chilling murderous intent.
At this time, Yin Nianyue had been taken to the Fang family's banquet hall.
Fang Qingshan had just reunited with Bai Qiaoyin after a long separation and they were being very affectionate.
He was very surprised to hear that Li Wang and his daughter and Lin Ran and his wife were visiting with guests.
He asked in surprise, "Why is there such a big fuss? I haven't done anything wrong, have I?"
Bai Qiaoyin blushed and pushed him away: "Hurry up and put your clothes in order, don't keep our distinguished guests waiting!"
Fang Qingshan immediately stood up and cleaned up. After making sure that there was nothing wrong, he helped Bai Qiaoyin tidy up her messed up clothes.
She grumbled in a low voice, "It's all your fault. You haven't behaved well since you came back. Now you've been delayed for so long, I'm sure you'll be accused of neglecting our guests!"
Fang Qingshan held her arm and said, "They are all well-fed men who don't know the hunger of hungry men. I've been at the border for so long and miss my wife. Shouldn't this be understood?"
Bai Qiaoyin blushed immediately, and she covered his mouth with her hand, scolding him, "Don't talk nonsense. How can you talk about wanting a wife all the time?"
Fang Qingshan couldn't bear to tease her any more, so he indulged her and compromised: "Okay, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. Let's go meet the guests quickly."
When they arrived at the banquet hall, they saw that several people were already sitting on chairs drinking tea.
After the farewell greetings, Fang Qingshan gave Lin Yiwan a puzzled look, as if asking, "Didn't we just separate? What's the matter that's so urgent that you have to come to me now?"
Lin Yiwan did not explain, but introduced Yin Nianyue's identity to him.
Fang Qingshan's face looked a little ugly. He didn't expect that the head of the Yin family would glue his eyes to his wife Bai Qiaoyin as soon as they met.
This is a little too much!
He subconsciously put Bai Qiaoyin behind him, blocking Yin Nianyue's sight with his actions.
He said coldly: "Master Yin, I wonder why you came to our general's mansion so late at night?"
Yin Nianyue almost blurted out: "I came for her!"
Fang Qingshan's expression suddenly changed, and he almost subconsciously rushed over to beat someone up.
After all, Prince Li reacted extremely quickly. He immediately shouted, "Fang Qingshan, stop!"
At this time, Lin Ran had already stepped forward and grabbed his arm, whispering to him: "Don't be impulsive, things are not what you think!"
Fang Qingshan said aggrievedly, "Everyone is thinking about my wife and even coming to my house. How can I not be impulsive? What is his relationship with you? Why are you all helping him?"
After he finished speaking, he gave Lin Yiwan a resentful look.
Lin Yiwan said helplessly: "Brother, you really misunderstood. This Yin family master might be my sister-in-law's cousin!"
Fang Qingshan raised his eyebrows in confusion: "Cousin? How did you say that?"
Yin Nianyue quickly explained: "She is my cousin Yin Yue who has been missing for many years. We are both from the Yin family in Shicheng!"
Fang Qingshan had heard that the Yin family in Shicheng was the largest family. Because their ancestors had been favored by the emperor, they were treated with great courtesy by the royal family.
But later due to a misunderstanding, they fell out with the royal family.
Now it is a situation where everyone keeps to themselves!
He never expected that his wife's life experience was actually related to the Yin family. He subconsciously looked at Bai Qiaoyin and asked in a low voice: "Yin'er, have you heard of the Yin family in Shicheng?"
Bai Qiaoyin blinked her eyes. Of course she had heard of it.
The Shicheng Yin family is famous for their business. In the entire capital, seven out of ten shops belong to them. They are very wealthy and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the richest family in the dynasty.
But is she the legitimate daughter of the Yin family?
What a coincidence?
Just as her thoughts were in turmoil, Yin Nianyue spoke up, "My cousin was still a baby when she disappeared. Of course, she has no memories. But Madam Lin has already drawn her appearance based on my bone structure. She is definitely my long-lost cousin. There is no doubt about that!"
Bai Qiaoyin was silent for a moment before she said, "I still have some of my mother's relics in my hand. You can identify them!"
She asked her maid to go back to the inner house and quickly brought the jade pendant that she had carefully collected in front of everyone.
Yin Nianyue originally had no hope, but when she saw the jade pendant, her eyes suddenly brightened.
He said anxiously, "This is the engagement token you gave the Emperor. Didn't you see the picture of a phoenix rising from the flames on it?"
Everyone's faces changed drastically, especially Fang Qingshan, who was trembling all over.
what?
His wife was actually engaged to the emperor as a child?
My God, what a devastating news!
He had just returned home when he was hit by a bolt from the blue. Isn't this too cruel?
Bai Qiaoyin's face turned pale with nervousness. She clutched the jade pendant tightly and said, "This, this is not a phoenix, don't talk nonsense, this is clearly a big bird!"
Yin Nianyue laughed. "Yes, it's not an exaggeration to say you're a big bird. After you disappeared, the Yin family tried their best to find you, but there was no news at all. Everyone thought your little body was eaten by wild beasts in the mountains and forests, so they built a cenotaph for you next to your mother. But I thought you were not dead yet, so I kept searching for you secretly. I didn't expect that God would treat me well!"
Bai Qiaoyin bit her lip hard. She was too young at the time and didn't remember any of this.
However, when she looked at Yin Nianyue's face which was similar to hers, she could be sure that he was indeed related to her by blood.
She asked cautiously, "Are there any people around my mother still alive?"
Yin Nianyue shook her head bitterly: "No, they were all brutally killed by bandits back then. The court was furious and sent troops to wipe out the bandit den, but they were unable to find out your whereabouts!"
Bai Qiaoyin's eyes suddenly turned red. She could imagine how cruel the killing was.
I guess it was at that time that Mrs. Bai picked her up and brought her back to the Bai Mansion to raise her.
She took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, cousin, for telling me what happened back then. I'm living a good life now. Can you hide my true identity for now to avoid unnecessary trouble?"
