Lin Chengyu suddenly stopped, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said, "I almost forgot. A few days ago, the prince and I met an old man. I heard that he used to have some wealth, but he became destitute because he lost his daughter and his house suffered a fire."

Aunt Xue and the others didn't know why he said this, and they were all a little puzzled, but they saw Lin Chengyu smiled faintly and said, "After asking around, I found out that the daughter the old man mentioned is very similar to Xiangling in both experience and appearance."

Aunt Xue couldn't help showing some joy on her face, "In that case, why not invite that person to come over? If he is really Xiangling's family, then we can reunite the family."

Lin Chengyu said: "I have sent someone to take that person to the capital, and we can meet today."

Originally, he was thinking of talking about it after a few days, but after what happened, Xia Jingui must hate Xiangling deeply. If Xiangling stayed in the Xue family any longer, she might not live to see the day when father and daughter would meet.

To avoid any more trouble, it is better to finish the matter today.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Xue quickly sent someone to call Xiangling over.

Ever since his only daughter went missing, Zhen Shiyin has been devastated and has been wandering around with a lame Taoist priest.

When Lin Chengyu met him, Zhen Shiyin looked disheveled and looked no different from a street beggar. There was no trace of his former gentle and refined self at all.

Zhen Shiyin was originally skeptical about Lin Chengyu's words. His daughter had been missing for more than ten years, and he had traveled all over the world but had never seen her. However, Lin Chengyu clearly described the rouge mark between his daughter's eyebrows.

All the doubts in his mind disappeared. He had nothing now anyway. The only thing he could give up was his life. There was nothing worth coveting.

If that girl was really Yinglian, he would be willing to die immediately.

Zhen Shiyin was helped by several servants to wash and change into clean clothes. He then paced around the room in a restless mood.

Suddenly, there was a noisy sound outside the door and someone came.

He had been missing his daughter for many years, but at this moment, he actually felt a little uneasy about being away from home.

He didn't dare to think, if the girl outside was not Yinglian...

Zhen Shiyin took a deep breath, and the door was pushed open from the outside. A beautiful girl looked at him expectantly. The rouge mark between her eyebrows was so eye-catching that Zhen Shiyin couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Yinglian!"

He knew that this was his poor daughter who had been missing for many years. There was no need to say anything, this was his daughter.

Zhen Shiyin hugged Xiangling tightly in his arms, "My poor daughter, where have you been all these years?"

Xiangling had a high fever when she was a child, and her memories of her childhood are very vague. She can't remember where she came from, her parents, or her own name.

However, the two words "Yinglian" that came to Zhen Shiyin's mind amidst mixed emotions seemed to have instantly touched upon the memories deeply hidden in his heart.

The reunion of father and daughter and family members was so touching that Aunt Xue couldn't help but sigh: "Xiangling, no, it should be Yinglian now. She has finally come to an end after all the suffering."

Xue Pan muttered quietly, "But Xiangling was bought by me. Even if she finds her relatives, she will still be mine in the future."

Aunt Xue was so angry that she hit his arm and said, "What do you mean by your people? I have the final say in this matter. Yinglian finally found her relatives and will live with her father in the future. She has served you for many years. I will also give them some money to let them settle down."

Xiangling is the present and the past, Zhen Yinglian is the past and the present.

Xue Pan looked at Zhen Yinglian's pretty face and felt reluctant to let her go, but since Aunt Xue had spoken, he couldn't say anything else.

What's more, the matter of recognition of relatives was initiated by Prince Linhuai and Marquis Ning'an. Even if he was very brave, he would not dare to go against them.

Lin Chengyu's casual look just now almost scared Xue Pan to death.

But Xue Pan had other ideas in his mind. Zhen Yinglian had been with him for several years and was very attentive and considerate when serving him. She must have him in her heart.

If Zhen Yinglian herself asked to stay in the Xue family, even Prince Linhuai and others would not be able to say anything.

Xue Pan looked at the touching scene of father and daughter recognizing each other with anticipation, hoping that Zhen Yinglian would ask to stay in the Xue family.

But until Aunt Xue finished speaking, patting Zhen Yinglian's hand, she didn't say anything, and didn't even give him a glance.

This isn't right.

Xuan Zheng and Lin Chengyu had already left. Xue Pan no longer had any scruples. He stared at Zhen Yinglian with his eyes, "Xiang... Yinglian, don't you have anything to say to me?"

Zhen Yinglian recognized her father and regained her memory. It seemed that she was completely reborn. Her previous humble and submissive demeanor was completely gone, and there was a bit more determination between her brows and eyes. Xue Pan stared at her intently.

She only said: "I don't want to talk about the past. In short, thank you very much, Madam and Miss... and Master for your kindness over the years. Yinglian will never forget it."

Xue Pan's face drooped instantly.

Aunt Xue said with relief: "You are a good child. I hope you will be safe and happy in the future."

Zhen Yinglian said with emotion: "Thank you, Madam. I will never forget your kindness."

The father and daughter of the Zhen family had not seen each other for many years and seemed to have endless things to say. Aunt Xue gave Zhen Yinglian's birth deed to her, and then half-pulled and half-dragged Xue Pan away.

Zhen Yinglian had a very difficult life in recent years, but even though Zhen Shiyin asked her many times, she didn't say a word.

But the Xue family is not an unknown family. As long as you ask around, you can always find out something or other.

Zhen Shiyin was not in a hurry and talked to his daughter for a long time.

In the Xue family's carriage, Xue Pan said reluctantly: "Mom, I bought Xiangling. Even if she dies, she must die in our Xue family. Why do you want to return her indenture? What if she runs away?"

Aunt Xue glared at him angrily and said, "What do you mean by running away? I gave her her indenture. Even if she goes to the ends of the earth, it has nothing to do with you. Don't think about her anymore. Just pretend she doesn't exist."

But Zhen Yinglian was as beautiful as a flower, and her appearance just now had completely captured Xue Pan's heart. How could he just forget about her so easily?

But he soon stopped thinking about Zhen Yinglian because Xia Jingui was still waiting for him at home.

When Xia Jingui saw that they came back without that damn girl, she knew what was going on and started to make a scene. "That damn girl has ruined my Xia family to this point. It's impossible for her to just walk away like this. When I find her, I will make sure she knows my methods."

But all she got in response was Aunt Xue's indifference and Xue Pan's absent-mindedness.
