In the main hall of the He family home, the old patriarch sat.

Shen Qingxi, dressed in a moon-white long robe, sat quietly beside the old man.

She wore a black jade pendant around her waist, her black hair was tied up, and her eyebrows and eyes were clear and bright like a pine tree.

With a high nose bridge, thin lips slightly pursed, and sleeves embroidered with light green bamboo patterns, she exuded an elegant and refined air.

Sitting quietly beside Old Master He, Old Master He held onto Shen Qingxi's hand tightly.

He was afraid that Shen Qingxi would disappear in the blink of an eye!

Seeing this, Madam Yang smiled and said, "Father, how long are you going to keep Qingxi here!"

"Let the children rest and get dressed up; the family reunion ceremony is about to begin!"

Ever since he learned that Shen Qingxi was his brother-in-law's child, Old Master He has become like a child again.

My health is getting better and better, and I feel much more energetic.

When good things happen, even Old Master He's hair grows a few more strands of black hair.

This truly shocked him; he believed it must be his brother-in-law watching from heaven.

They took Qingxi to the He family to reunite with her...

Grandpa He turned his gaze to Shen Qingxi, his face full of reluctance.

"Qingxi... then please come back soon..."

Shen Qingxi nodded slowly and then left with Madam Yang.

Han Zixuan was walking around in the main hall next door, holding her daughter.

They attracted a lot of attention, and Grand Tutor Jiang and his daughter, who had just entered, spotted them immediately.

He walked slowly towards Han Zixuan, who looked up and smiled when she saw him.

"Grandmother, Uncle! You've come too!"

Grand Tutor Jiang nodded and turned his gaze to Han Lingxi.

Han Lingxi was wrapped in a red silk tiger-head hood, her chubby face was pink from the cold, and her black bean-like eyes darted around.

Her tiny, lotus-root-like hands clutched a fluffy ball of fluff, and her cotton robe was embroidered with shimmering golden koi fish. She wobbled and tried to jump into Han Zixuan's arms, looking just like a fluffy glutinous rice ball.

Jiang Taishi was truly delighted to see such an adorable and chubby baby.

Unable to resist teasing, she said, "Hehe, this little glutinous rice ball is so sturdy, come here and let Grandma give you a hug!"

Han Lingxi blinked her bright black eyes and looked at it curiously.

Grand Tutor Jiang stretched out his arm, then looked at his own mother.

She called out in a childish voice, "Mama~"

Han Zixuan also squatted down to face him and said gently, "Lingxi, this is Grandma. Lingxi has met her before, do you remember her?"

Han Lingxi turned her head and glanced at Grand Tutor Jiang again, then took two steps and came into Grand Tutor Jiang's arms.

She called out in a childish voice, "Grandma~"

Grand Tutor Jiang had a big smile on his face, his wrinkles piling up.

He struggled to lift Han Lingxi, and sighed, "Hehe...not bad...she's got some weight to her name, hehe!"

Jiang Qing, watching from the side, said with some concern, "Mother... please slow down, let me carry her!"

To her surprise, Grand Tutor Jiang scolded her, "Get out of the way. My health is not so bad that I can't even carry a child."

He turned around and made a face at Han Lingxi with a smile, making Han Lingxi giggle!

Han Zixuan watched with a smile, while Jiang Qing, unable to persuade her mother, turned to Han Zixuan with a helpless expression.

Han Zixuan didn't think anything of it; the elderly always love being close to children!

There are many guests today, and it is getting late. The guests have already gathered in the flower hall.

The old master of the He family sat at the head of the table, when a loud shout was heard.

"Auspicious time!"

Shen Qingxi was dressed in a dark blue brocade robe, with a bright red brocade robe over it.

He strode in from outside the door, and everyone's eyes turned to him.

Shen Qingxi was actually a little nervous, but she tried her best to control herself and her steps were still steady.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh at Shen Qingxi's appearance.

"This...this is the long-lost grandson of the He family!"

"He is truly a handsome man..."

"I don't know if she's been betrothed... My lady is still unmarried..."

Shen Qingxi stood steadily in the center of the living room, lifted her clothes, and knelt properly on the ground.

He called out loudly, "Grandson greets grandfather!"

The old patriarch of the He family, leaning on his cane, stood up shakily and slowly walked to Shen Qingxi's side.

"Good...good...child...you've suffered all these years..."

Upon seeing the face that so closely resembled his son's, the old patriarch of the He family was so overwhelmed with emotion that he was speechless.

Tears streamed down her cheeks as she took a white jade crown from a tray and placed it on Shen Qingxi's head.

With trembling hands, Old Master He placed the mutton-fat jade pendant into Shen Qingxi's palm again.

The jade was warm and translucent, with the character "贺" (He) engraved on the inside, gleaming softly in the sunlight.

Tears welled up in Old Master He's cloudy eyes, and his voice choked with emotion.

“Back then, it was my grandparents’ fault for not investigating thoroughly. You’ve suffered all these years of wandering…”

He gently patted Shen Qingxi's hand, his aged voice filled with guilt and affection.

"Now that you have been found, the doors of the He family will always be open for you. This jade pendant is the token of the He family's eldest son. From this day forward, you are the young master of the He family."

I've changed your name to He Xun.

"Don't be afraid, don't panic. From now on, the entire He family will protect you."

After saying this, the old man tremblingly embraced Shen Qingxi, his turbid tears dripping onto the young man's shoulder.

The guests all cast their blessings their way.

The entire hall was filled with a warm atmosphere. Shen Qingxi held the jade pendant, feeling the warmth from her palm, and her eyes gradually welled up with tears.

At this moment, my heart, which has been wandering for many years, has finally found its home.

He is not alone and helpless; he has family who truly love and care for him.

Han Zixuan stood to one side, holding Han Lingxi, quietly watching everything.

"The ceremony is complete!!"

Everyone stepped forward to offer their congratulations and praise, but just then, a figure walked in through the doorway.

Dressed in a magnificent brocade robe, with an exceptionally serious expression, he let out a soft sigh.

"Wait!"

This sound quickly attracted the attention of many people, and some who recognized the person exclaimed in surprise.

"The Prince of Nan'an!"

"It's actually the Prince of Nan'an! What's she doing here...?"

"Who knows... Oh, I almost forgot... This young master's father is the young master of the He family."

This mother…

"Look, the Prince of Nan'an looks rather unwell!"

Han Zixuan's expression changed.

Yang and He Yun immediately stepped forward and walked to Feng Yu's side.

"Prince of Nan'an, it seems I haven't sent you an invitation!"

Feng Yu frowned and said unhappily, "This prince did not have an invitation, but as Qingxi's biological mother..."

"Of course, this prince will be present!"

Old Master He's face immediately darkened, and he slammed his cane heavily on the ground.

"The Prince of Nan'an is so imposing!"

Do you think I'm just a figurehead? Today is a family reunion banquet for the He family, and you are not welcome here!

"Someone...show the guest out!"

He was extremely frustrated. The old master of the He family had embarrassed him in front of so many guests.

Unable to contain his rising anger, he said, "Old Master He, more than twenty years ago, I, the Prince, still hold you in the highest esteem..."
