Upon entering, Gu Nanfeng saw Dean Bai. He immediately straightened his clothes, put away his smile, and resumed his composed demeanor.

"Dean Bai, what brings you here?"

"What a coincidence, Lord Gu is also in the village?" Dean Bai greeted Gu Nanfeng with a smile.

At most, it's just a forced smile.

"Dean Bai has been hiding his true intentions quite well." Gu Nanfeng's smile became even more forced as he thought of the people from the Jiang family who had appeared.

It was obvious that Dean Bai already knew all this and was deliberately hiding it from him.

"This isn't the place for reminiscing. What good news did Lord Gu just say? Why don't you tell us?" Dean Bai feigned curiosity.

"Dean Bai arrived first, so you should speak first." Gu Nanfeng decided to take this time to organize his thoughts.

After all, he was a bit too excited.

Dean Bai ignored Gu Nanfeng and smiled at Jiang Changtian, saying, "Here's the thing, I heard rumors that Luming Academy is going to make an exception and select students, and I want Jiang Changtian to give it a try."

Gu Nanfeng interrupted, "Dean Bai, you're talking nonsense. Although I don't like studying, I know that only scholars who have passed the imperial examinations at the provincial level or above can enter Luming Academy. Jiang Changtian is just a Xiucai (a lower-level scholar).

Dean Bai rolled his eyes at him. "I already said it's an exception, an exception. If you can get in, it's naturally better than staying at Mishan Academy."

Putting aside everything else, the foundation of the school is different; Luming Academy is the academy that students all over the world aspire to attend.

The library inside has a vast collection of books, and those who come from Luming Academy are either great Confucian scholars or important officials of the imperial court.

Seeing that Jiang Changtian didn't react much, Dean Bai was somewhat exasperated.

He turned to Gu Nanfeng and said, "Lord Gu, tell us what good news you have brought. Let us hear it too."

Gu Nanfeng originally didn't want to talk about it here, since there were outsiders present.

But as soon as Jiang Changtian looked over, he became incredibly excited, "Jiang Changtian, you are my sister's child, and I am your uncle!"

"what?"

Everyone turned to look at Jiang Changtian and Gu Nanfeng.

Lin Shuyun was stunned.

Didn't they just reunite as mother and son? How did he suddenly become Gu Nanfeng's sister's child again?

The relationships are a bit complicated.

Seeing everyone's surprise and disbelief, Gu Nanfeng anxiously said, "I'm not joking. You were stolen when you were born. I never imagined that Uncle Wu would give you away and even give you money because he was afraid you wouldn't be doing well. All of this makes sense."

“My sister was looking for you before she passed away. I thought finding someone in such a vast sea of ​​people would be like finding a needle in a haystack, but I never expected such a coincidence. I actually found all of my sister’s children in the same place. It’s truly a miracle.”

After Gu Nanfeng finished speaking, he took a deep breath, his heart filled with excitement.

He went to Jiang Shoutian's house to find out the details, digested the information for a long time, and conducted a thorough investigation before bringing up the matter.

Unexpectedly, the person he was looking for was right under his nose.

As for how his sister's child was stolen, he needs to go back and investigate thoroughly; there's definitely more to the story.

Back then, he was much younger than his sister and didn't have the status and position he has now, which is why the Jiang family was able to take advantage of the situation for so many years.

If he finds out anything, the Jiang family...

Dean Bai said in great surprise, "This is too unbelievable. As far as I know, your sister's husband's family is the Jiang family of Qingliu."

The Jiang family did not hold very high official positions in Shengjing, but they were still quite well-known among the Qingliu faction.

Jiang Changtian said, "The Jiang family is also surnamed Jiang. What a coincidence."

So this is Jiang Changtian's true identity?

Lin Shuyun looked at Jiang Changtian and said, "Isn't it simple? It must have been that when Uncle Wu gave you away back then, he deliberately chose a family with the surname Jiang, just to preserve that surname."

The relationship is like a nesting doll, with one layer after another.

Gu Nanfeng nodded in agreement, "You're right."

Jiang Changtian didn't react much.

The real Jiang Changtian is dead; he was just an imposter.

He was just upset for Jiang Changtian, wondering why Gu Nanfeng couldn't have found him sooner.

Gu Nanfeng looked at Jiang Changtian and saw that her sister's child was already so grown up. She wondered how much she had suffered, and her eyes welled up with tears.

“Come back to Shengjing with me. I’m going to settle accounts with the Jiang family. You’ll have a home from now on. Your uncle has wronged you.”

Dean Bai thought for a moment, "It's perfect to go to Shengjing. You can also study at Luming Academy. With the skills you've acquired, it will be more advantageous for you to regain your status as the eldest son of the Jiang family."

"I knew you looked familiar! Turns out you're my sister's child. This is the telepathic connection between uncle and nephew!"

With red eyes, Gu Nanfeng patted Jiang Changtian on the shoulder.

Looking at Gu Nanfeng's touched expression, Lin Shuyun almost thought it was some kind of telepathic connection.

Jiang Changtian was silent for a moment, then said, "This is hard for me to accept right now. I need to think about it."

"Okay, okay, it's indeed a bit hard to accept. I'll go back now."

Gu Nanfeng lingered, reluctant to leave.

Dean Bai also said to Jiang Changtian, "Jiang Changtian, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for scholars all over the world. Others may not be able to do it, but I think you can. I hope you can give it a try."

Privately, Dean Bai also wanted Jiang Changtian to go to Luming Academy because of his grandmaster.

Grandmaster will return to Shengjing sooner or later. He likes this family so much, so it would be great if we could go together legitimately then.

"I..." Jiang Changtian opened his mouth, unsure whether to agree or refuse.

Lin Shuyun noticed this and said, "Dean, my husband will consider it. Thank you for making this special trip."

Dean Bai also left, but he took quite a few things that Lin Shuyun had given him, as well as a small jar of wine.

After leaving the courtyard, Dean Bai planned to go find Doctor Zhang. This old man was acting mysteriously; what kind of old flame was he hiding?

Gu Nanfeng was still immersed in the joy and complex emotions of finding his sister's child, and didn't even have time to ask Dean Bai what was going on with the Emperor Emeritus.

After everyone left, Lin Shuyun and Jiang Changtian looked at each other in bewilderment.

Qin Niangzi had been eavesdropping earlier, and only now did she come out, cracking melon seeds as she asked, "So... Jiang Changtian, are you Gu Nanfeng's nephew or Guan Suyi's son?"

Xiaoqing also came out from behind the door. "You have so many identities. Just how many truths have you been hiding from my sister?"

Lin Shuyun looked at Jiang Changtian curiously, "Husband, you have so many identities, so who am I supposed to marry?"

Old Xu suddenly yelled and ran barefoot out of the house, "Where's my wine? Ah! Who stole my wine? Stand up! I'll give them a good whack with the sole of my shoe!"

"Jiang Changtian, it's you, not you!"

Jiang Changtian: ...

My heavy mood suddenly lifted.
