If she were to reveal her relationship with Shen Qingxi during their first formal meeting, Han Zixuan probably wouldn't believe it.

But if this continues, why did she even bother coming to the Han residence in the first place...?

Finally, Feng Yu gathered her thoughts and spoke slowly, "Lady Han, I heard that your ancestral home is Mingxi County, is that correct?"

When Feng Yu inquired about her ancestral home, Han Zixuan's eyes flickered slightly, even though these were things that could be easily found out and were not considered secrets.

But since this was a question from the Prince of Nan'an, she became somewhat wary and nodded gently, "Yes."

His gaze deepened. What exactly did the Prince of Nan'an mean?

Feng Yu asked step by step, "Is your master Shen Qingxi living in Qingxi Village?"

Han Zixuan shuddered suddenly, her eyes dark and unreadable.

The Prince of Nan'an asked her about her for no reason, but when he asked about Shen Qingxi, it was a big deal.

The Prince of Nan'an must know something.

He looked at Feng Yu with wariness in his eyes, but pretended to be calm and puzzled.

"I don't know why the Prince wants to investigate my wife and husband."

Feng Yu straightened his expression and said, "Don't be anxious. This prince has no other intentions."

There's something I need to confirm, and it concerns the two of you.

Let me, the Prince, tell you...

"Twenty years ago, this county was just a..." As Feng Yu recounted her story about her and He Mingxuan, she began to speak.

Han Zixuan was deeply shaken. Now she was certain of the purpose of the Prince of Nan'an's visit.

She was definitely after Shen Qingxi!

After finishing speaking to himself, he turned his gaze to Han Zixuan and said, "I thought I had lost my husband and child, but unexpectedly, things have taken a turn for the better."

"Now there's news that the legitimate son is still alive." His voice trembled with excitement.

He looked eagerly at Han Zixuan, hoping to get a response.

However, Han Zixuan remained completely calm and composed.

As if listening to a story, "Oh, then congratulations, Your Highness, good news is on your door."

Feng Yu frowned. The feeling Han Zixuan gave her was not what she wanted to see.

"Well, the good news hasn't arrived yet... my daughter and I haven't recognized each other."

Han Zixuan replied calmly, "Oh, then I wish the Prince all the best in achieving his wish soon."

I will simply respond from an observer's perspective and will not ask any further questions.

This really left Feng Yu at a loss for words.

Feeling incredibly frustrated, he stopped making veiled accusations.

He spoke directly, "Han Zixuan, I thought you were very clever, but I didn't expect... Now that I've gone this far, aren't you curious about who my child is?"

She thought she had made herself perfectly clear, yet Han Zixuan remained remarkably calm.

Han Zixuan feigned a puzzled expression and slowly shook her head. "Your Highness, how could I possibly inquire about your home so casually?" Her expression clearly showed that she didn't know and wasn't interested.

Feng Yu was speechless, his chest heaving but with nowhere to vent his anger. He looked at Han Zixuan with a hint of authority in his eyes. "You, Han Zixuan, this prince has come here today not without reason to ask you to tell me a story."

The legitimate son of this prince and his consort is none other than your lord, Shen Qingxi!

Surely there will be some reaction now!

Han Zixuan thought to herself, "As expected, the Prince of Nan'an already knows Qingxi's identity. But when did it start?"

He then met Feng Yu's eyes with a faint smile.

"Your Highness, you must have the wrong person. My husband has a mother and a father."

How could he be the legitimate son of the Prince's mansion?

Feng Yu suddenly stood up. "Wrong person? Hehe, Qingxi looks exactly like my deceased husband."

Furthermore, this matter is of great importance, and I, the Prince, will naturally investigate it thoroughly. Shen Li's family are runaway slaves of my Prince's mansion, and they are Qingxi's biological parents.

This prince has already locked up that vile woman, Zhu Ran.

"To have caused the death of the Prince Consort and abducted my legitimate son is an unforgivable crime! I, the Prince, will have him torn to pieces..."

Her eyes were filled with bloodthirsty resentment. If it weren't for him... how could she, a dignified princess, have ended up with her husband dead and her children separated from her?

For twenty years, I haven't been able to sleep soundly for a single day...

If we find out the reason why Mingxuan was killed, we certainly can't let him die so easily.

Han Zixuan suddenly stopped. The Prince of Nan'an had actually found Madam Shen. No wonder the He family said they were too late when they went to look for Madam Shen; it turned out that the people from the Prince of Nan'an's mansion had found her first and taken her away.

With the confirmation of the Prince of Nan'an, Qingxi's identity was beyond doubt; he was indeed the son of the Prince of Nan'an and He Mingxuan.

Seeing Han Zixuan deep in thought, Feng Yu's expression softened considerably.

"This proves the mother-daughter relationship between me and Qingxi!"

Shen Qingxi, oh no, he should be surnamed Guo, or Feng Qingxi.

He is the legitimate son of the Prince of Nan'an, possessing a noble status.

He then straightened his sleeves and solemnly sat down again.

Then he began to casually sized up Han Zixuan, whose current status was barely a match for her son.

"I brought some things with me today because I wish to recognize Qingxi. I also heard that you have another daughter, so I would like to introduce her to you as well. The Prince's residence has been prepared and the courtyard has been cleaned up."

Today, I'll take them to the Prince's residence for a gathering..."

After being separated for twenty years, the mother and son not only found each other, but also had a sweet granddaughter... it was a double blessing.

She was lost in her own thoughts and didn't notice Han Zixuan's changing expression.

After waiting for a while, I saw that Han Zixuan was sitting at the table without moving.

He looked at her in surprise, "I've made myself perfectly clear to you, yet you still don't..."

Before he could finish speaking, Han Zixuan chuckled softly.

"Han Zixuan...what are you laughing at..."

Han Zixuan stared at Feng Yu, her gaze suddenly changing as she said gently, "Should I quickly and respectfully let the Prince take my husband and children away?"

Feng Yu said coldly, "Those are my son and granddaughter, so naturally they will return to the Prince's residence with me."

At first, I thought Han Zixuan was alright, but now I find her a bit frivolous.

Han Zixuan thought that even if Shen Qingxi was indeed the son of the Prince of Nan'an, she would not let her take him away.

The fact that the Prince of Nan'an's mansion could cause the tragic death of its lord and the loss of its legitimate son indicates that it is no ordinary place.

Furthermore, she didn't know much about this Prince of Nan'an. Although he was Qingxi's blood mother, he was ultimately a stranger.

The two had never even met.

It's absurd to ask her to take her husband and daughter away based on just these few points.

Not knowing whether Qingxi had any intention of acknowledging her as her mother, Han Zixuan was even more reluctant to let her see Qingxi.

Han Zixuan pursed her lips and smiled lightly, "I admit that the story Your Highness told is very interesting... There are many similar people in the world. It just so happens that my husband must really resemble the prince consort!"

After hearing this, Feng Yu's expression turned very ugly, and she glared angrily at Han Zixuan.

"What do you mean... what story?"

"I have just made myself perfectly clear, and there are witnesses... Do you intend to prevent my daughter and me from recognizing each other?"
