The clouds and mists have dispersed, and everyone knows that I love you.

"Many people have never heard of us, and that's as it should be."

"Seeing is believing. Today, I will take advantage of the Huo family's banquet to introduce to you all the members of my Ying family."

Feng Qingning's outstretched palm first fell on Shi Rong, who was sitting in the deputy seat and had two close subordinates helping her dress up.

"This is the daughter of the Ying family, born to my son Ying Zhiyi and his first wife Luo Shu."

Having said that, Feng Qingning changed the subject and looked back at Huo Yan, who was dressed respectably, standing next to her.

"Have you ever thought about why she's called Shi Rong? It's just like the word game Ying Heng used to play with you when you were little. Shi means smooth, and Rong means respond. So, she's called Ying Shi Rong. She's the legitimate daughter of our Ying family, blessed by heaven, in accordance with destiny, and through praying to the gods."

After he finished speaking, Shi Rong turned towards everyone and nodded slightly as a greeting.

This should have been a moment of singing and dancing for her, but for some reason, when Huo Jiuzhou looked at the woman's beautiful face again, he just felt ashamed.

why?

Just because she transformed from Shi Rong to Ying Shi Rong?

The man laughed at himself.

No, it was because for the first time in his life, Huo Jiuzhou, who had always been good at planning and strategizing, also miscalculated in front of others, especially when the other party was the woman he loved deeply.

If there weren't so many people around, he would have wanted to grab her and ask her: How many things are you hiding from me?

Huo Yan heard what Feng Qingning said, but remained silent for a long time. If she hadn't mentioned it today by chance, the word game they often played when they were young, he would have almost forgotten that there was such a thing.

Ignoring his look of sudden enlightenment, Feng Qingning continued introducing them in order.

"This is Shen Mingxing, the Young Master of the Ying Family's Jiaolong Hall. Behind her are the Hall Master, Shen Lianxi, and his wife, Zhou Shiyuan."

Shen Mingxing looks very much like her parents, especially her bewitching eyes, which are very similar to Shen Lianxi's piercing eyes; and her slender and tall figure with naturally charming curves are like Zhou Shiyuan, who is still plump and well-proportioned in her middle age.

Shen Mingxing, with his parents behind him, looked towards the crowd and nodded.

"This is Xia Zhi, the Young Master of the Ying Family's Mirage Dragon Hall. Behind her is the Hall Master, Xia Chengfeng, and his wife, Bai Yuxuan."

To outsiders, Xia Zhi looks exactly like her mother's graceful and innocent face; her soft and tender little mouth is also about 70% similar to Xia Chengfeng's square lips.

Xia Zhi, with her parents behind her, looked towards the crowd and nodded again.

"This is Ji Xinyue, the Young Master of the Kuilong Hall of the Ying Family. Behind her is the Hall Master Ji Shengkai and his wife, An Yun."

Song Qianchen said, why Ji Xinyue looks so charming and seductive, always making him itch, it turns out that she inherited the advantages of both parents, gathered in herself, and grew up to be the result.

Ji Xinyue, with her parents behind her, turned towards the crowd and nodded.

"Finally, there's my eldest illegitimate grandson, Ying Shiyang. He was delayed on the road tonight, but I think he'll be here soon. He's the illegitimate child of my son Ying Zhiyi, the 20-year-old maid, Li Tiantian, whom he conceived after having sex with while drunk."

As everyone acted in unison and looked at her with strange eyes, Feng Qingning told her story without reservation.

"The Ying family didn't value family background. They had originally agreed that if she gave birth to a child, Zhiyi would marry her. But Tiantian was unlucky. When she gave birth to Yang'er, she encountered a difficult labor and passed away."

"Later, Zhiyi was in the Jiangnan area when he ran into Luo Shu, the daughter of the Luo family. He fell in love with her at first sight, and with her knowledge, he married her in a formal ceremony, carrying a sedan chair carried by eight people, and brought her back to the Ying family. They gave birth to Yang'er. Actually, Yang'er and Yang'er are half-siblings."

When Shi Rong was halfway through dressing up, she looked up and met Feng Qingning's doting gaze. She curled up the corners of her mouth and smiled sweetly at her.

"That's what Grandma said."

Feng Qingning glanced at her gently, and pointed in the direction of Shi Changren with her fingertips, her face full of pity.

"But, in the eyes of outsiders, a child without a mother is ultimately an illegitimate child. To protect Yang'er from public criticism, he was sent to the Shi family in Jincheng when he was six years old. They negotiated with him to make him their adopted son. Later, the family had Yang'er, who was born to be a troublesome girl. Her grandfather only needed to indulge her a little and she would do anything she wanted."

"Pfft..."

When Shen Mingxing heard Feng Qingning's evaluation of Shi Rong's childhood, she laughed out loud on the spot.

Upon hearing this, Shi Rong also curled the corners of his mouth helplessly.

"In order to make her the backbone of the Ying family when she grows up and have the ability to take charge, the Ying family specially developed a full set of special training for her when she was very young."

"She started learning opera from her grandfather at the age of three, and her singing skills were improved. At the age of four, she started practicing martial arts. At the age of five, she already understood how to sing and listen to opera music. At the age of six, she was like a little adult. She could only rest for three hours a day, and the rest of the time was spent constantly receiving training from the Ying family."

Speaking of this, Feng Qingning's eyes unconsciously filled with crystal tears. It was obvious that she felt extremely guilty about Shi Rong's past.

"There's nothing we can do. The Ying family only has two grandchildren. Yang'er has been unlearned since childhood, and all he does is eat, drink, and have fun. So we have to let Rong'er catch up. When Rong'er was 12 years old, her parents died in a plane crash. To prevent her from being sad and distracted, she has to learn more every day."

"Fortunately, this child is gifted. No matter how many hardships the Ying family creates for her on her training path, she can always rise to the occasion."

"Think about it, Ying Heng is really cruel. She is only 22 years old this year, but she knows much more than an ordinary person who has been around for half his life."

The tears in Feng Qingning's eyes did not fall as expected, but her originally calm tone was mixed with a few imperceptible tremors.

"Later, at the age of 16, Ying'er finally returned home after completing her studies. However, her grandfather had passed away due to overwork. She was heartbroken and lost. On her way back to Ying's family in Dongcheng, she got lost in the deep mountains and forests of Jincheng. But at that time, she met four people."

Feng Qingning stopped talking here, stood up, walked down from the high seat, and personally took a cushion and placed it on the ground at her feet.

"Come and sit here, my dear."

Shi Rong raised her hand, dismissing the subordinates who were still helping her with her makeup, and stood up as she was told, walking over and kneeling upright.

"You must be wondering why she, the daughter of the dignified Ying family of East City, a superior family, chose to borrow the identity of another noble family, impersonating others and appearing in public in North City under a disguised name. That's because she had no choice. It was my stubbornness that forced a five-year agreement with her."
