y bring Yulian home safely.Actually, Fang Jinxiu wasn't so reassured. Having lived in the Zong family for so long, Yulian was no different from her own younger sister. And now, Su Yusheng harbored unc...Chapter 1101: Zong Yu, wasn't Our Biological Father at All

It all began with illusion, why subject him to the experience of paternal love, only to have him go through love and hate before being told they weren't father and son at all.

It's all just a joke, isn't it

Zongyu lowered his head and grasped his wife's hand. The palm of her embroidered silk glove was warm, and just holding it seemed to soothe all the pain in his heart.

"When I was a child, I was wrongly accused by my grandmother. Even though my mother tried to protect me, her gentle nature meant she couldn't."

"So I always got beaten up. The more I refused to admit fault, the harder they hit me."

“Although he wouldn't disobey Grandma, he would bring me medicine after the fact and teach me how to protect myself.”

During those fifteen years, he devoted all his thoughts to studying and wasn't very close to me.

“I thought he was so busy studying that he didn't have the energy to care about his wife and children, so when I occasionally received a little attention from him, I was overjoyed for a long time.”

"He even deliberately provoked grandma to anger me, hoping he would still care about me the way he did before."

But my little tricks couldn't fool him for long. After a while, he just pretended not to notice them and never spoke to me again.

"Now that I think about it, he must have hated me back then. It was I who killed his eldest son, how could he possibly care about me."

Fang Jinshi, however, didn't think so.

"If he truly hated you, he wouldn't buy you medicine."

"Ayu, that child's death wasn't your fault. You were just a newborn at the time, and your appearance and resemblance to the Zong family, even if not his or her biological child, would definitely have made you seem related to them."

Maybe your ancestors were one family.

It's certainly not impossible.

Zongyu had been staring at Fang Jinxiu the whole time she was speaking, the pain in his eyes gradually subsiding until only a faint tenderness remained.

"Well, you're right."

"It's pointless to hate him."

Sometimes, instead of dwelling on self-blame, it's more helpful to uncover the truth behind events and identify the real culprits responsible for the tragedy.

Seeing that he wanted to open up, Fang Jinshu felt a weight lifted from her chest and nodded resolutely.

"Yes, your biological parents definitely didn't just abandon you at the family clan for no reason. I'll help you uncover the truth together. Maybe your parents are still alive. I know you must want to find them."

"Well, you can't miss a thing," Zongyu smiled.

"Of course, we're husband and wife. I know you best in this world," Fang Jinshu said with a smug wrinkle of her nose, trying to liven up the atmosphere.

A's air pressure was really low.

He said he didn't mind, but deep down, the fact that he wasn't the biological son of the family head still hit him hard.

"Ayu, don't be afraid. Even if we can't find them, you still have me and Yuanbao."

You will never be alone.

Zongyu held his wife tightly in his arms. He was the luckiest man alive to have met Jinxiu and married her.

She indeed, was the greatest pillar of support in his heart.

During those years he was amnesiac on the border, even though he didn't remember anything about his past with her, he never thought of getting a new wife. After returning to the capital city, all he wanted was to treat her well.

From beginning to end, the only woman who ever appeared in his heart was Jinxiu.

Two figures could be heard as the door swung open behind them. Yu Lian, fuming with anger, stood there and shouted at the pair.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, he said to let you come in."

Fang Jinxiu still held Zong Yu's hand, "It seems like he's said goodbye to his mother and sisters."

"Come on, let's hear the secrets of your past."

"Are you afraid"

Zong Yu shook his head.

Fang Jinshi smiled, "That's good."

When the two of them came in, they found Mu weeping, and the atmosphere in the room was also strange.

Zong Bai and Yu Lian both looked unwell.

Zong Pingchuan lay there with a calm expression. As the two people approached, his gaze shifted over to them.

Come here.

He gasped for breath, his voice a mere whisper.

That year, Yún Hé returned to her parents' home to visit relatives. On the way back, she suddenly said that she had a stomachache and was about to give birth.

"Far from any village, I couldn't find a midwife to attend to her. Luckily, there was an old temple not far away, and inside, there was another couple about to give birth."

The woman didn't look like people from our Central Plains. She was accompanied only by an elderly nursemaid, a young maidservant, and two guards.

"They were quite kind, seeing that Yúnhé was about to give birth and proactively offered to help. At the time, I just felt grateful that even in this remote area, we could encounter such kind ladies willing to lend a hand."

The older woman by her side had experience with childbirth, so Yun He's condition quickly stabilized.

"As I anxiously awaited her delivery, the other woman suddenly went into labor too. It was such a coincidence, two expectant mothers and one midwife—we could only all deliver together."

"I was terribly worried at the time, but luckily although the process was dangerous, both children were born safe and sound, and they are both boys."

"Newborn babies all look pretty much the same, I didn't think much of it at the time. After Yun He rested up, we bid farewell and left. The madam enthusiastically gave us quite a few things."

"They said it was fate, they practically gave us all their possessions."

He suddenly chuckled at himself.

"Now that I think about it, she probably just doesn't want to let you go."

"Although I saw her carrying two children at the same time, I was young and overjoyed to have a child of my own. I didn't think much about it at the time."

"Later, when I got back home, I found a jade pendant still on you. That pendant looked like a valuable treasure; it could easily be passed down through generations."

"I felt something was amiss. I took the jade pendant but didn't tell anyone about it, not even your mother."

Mu Yunhe heard Zong Pingchuan suddenly bring up the past, her heart already felt strange. Upon learning that the madam had also given Ayu a jade pendant, her doubts grew even greater.

"Madam, why are you giving A-Yu a jade pendant for no reason"

Zong Pingchuan suddenly smiled, "Yun He, don't you understand yet"

"Because Ah Yu is not our child, he was born to that lady. She couldn't bear to part with her own son, fearing he would starve and suffer in our home, so she gave us all her possessions, claiming it was fate."

"Bull**** fate!"

"It was later that I understood this matter."

Mu Yunhe was shocked, Zong Bai and Yulian's first reaction was disbelief.

"This is impossible, you mean Big Brother isn't your and your mother's biological son How is this possible, it's simply baffling!"

Yulian angrily agreed, "That's right. Your brother looks so much like you, everyone in the village says your brother was just like you when you were a child. How could he possibly not be your and mother's child."

"You're about to die, and you still want to cause trouble between us"

"How despicable."

Zong Pingchuan didn't refute at all, he just looked at Mu Yunhe.

"Do you think I'm telling the truth Ask your mother."

"Our child, they were switched at birth, Zongyu, he's not our biological son."ian, had already taken refuge in the cellar.Now all she could do was trust Zhao Xingzhou and the guards at home.Zhao Yunni sat beside, without uttering a word since they entered the cellar. Fang Jinsh...
