Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xie Yunhe married into the Cheng family at the age of 16. His first daughter was born when he was at the age of 17. Now, he was only in his early fifties.

Time had left a mark on his face, but it could not hide his good bones and handsome facial features. It was obvious how beautiful he was when he was young.ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by Noᴠᴇlꜰire.nᴇt

It was said that the eldest daughter of the Cheng family fell in love with him at the poetry conference back then and would never marry anyone other than him.

After being the head of the Cheng family for 30 years, he was already the true head of the Cheng family.

He carried the dignity and aura of the family head. The noisy commoners immediately quietened down and spontaneously retreated to the sides to make way for him.

Xie Yunhe had just alighted from the carriage.

He came to Su Xiaoxiao and Mei Ji and glanced at them.

Steward Pang hurriedly walked down the steps and said respectfully, “Master, you’re back.”

Just as he was about to explain what had happened, he heard Xie Yunhe say calmly, “Bring her into the residence to talk.”

Steward Pang was stunned for a moment before he quickly understood what Old Master meant.

As the saying went, one should not wash his dirty linen in public. Regardless of whether the girl who came to acknowledge her family was real or fake, he could not let these people outside see her as a joke.

“Yes,” he agreed with a bow.

Xie Yunhe strode into the residence.

Steward Pang turned around and said indifferently to Su Xiaoxiao and Meijhi, “The two of you, follow me into the residence. Don’t embarrass yourself outside!”

Mei Ji sneered. “You’re the one who’s embarrassing yourself!”

Steward Pang’s expression darkened.

However, because of the crowd of onlookers outside, he could only suppress

The Cheng family was one of the four great families of the Southern Border. Its mansion had experienced a few expansions, and the entire street outside belonged to the Cheng family.

“Oh, the Cheng family is quite big,” Mei Ji said.

The Western Jin was a big country. Mei Ji had been to countless luxurious mansions with the number one strategist. For her to praise it, it meant that the Cheng family was indeed not small.

Steward Pang, who was leading the way, sneered disdainfully.

It was obvious that they had never seen the world. It was their good fortune to enter the Cheng family today!

The group went to the reception hall of the outer residence.

Xie Yunhe sat down at the master seat and did not let Su Xiaoxiao and the others sit down.

His sharp gaze landed on Su Xiaoxiao.

Steward Pang leaned over and bent down to report softly, “It’s this girl who claims to be the daughter of the Cheng family…”

Although Old Master might have already heard it in the carriage, he still reported the incident in detail.

Xie Yunhe’s gaze never left Su Xiaoxiao’s face. He noted every expression on Su Xiaoxiao’s face.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t deliberately provoke this cheap grandfather. She just let him sized her up as if she was new and unfamiliar. “That’s about it.”

After Steward Pang finished reporting.

“It’s impossible for you to be the Cheng family’s flesh and blood,” Xie Yunhe concluded without thinking. He did not even suggest taking a look at the token. “Is Old Master Xie so unwilling to acknowledge me?”

It did not matter if she called him Grandpa or not. In any case, it was just a show. However, she clearly could not call him Grandpa now. She had to stabilize her persona.

Xie Yunhe said solemnly, “That baby girl was born stillborn.”

“Has Old Master Xie carried the baby himself?”

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly with a questioning tone, “Has Old Master Xie taken the child’s pulse? Have you checked the child’s breathing? Have you heard the child’s heartbeat? Did she feel cold in your arms?”

Steward Pang scolded angrily, “The midwife had already examined the child! She was a stillborn!”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “So you can throw away your biological daughter just by saying that she’s stillborn.”

A stillborn could not be buried in their ancestral grave, nor could they erect a monument, let alone burn paper to pay respects. Usually, they would dig a pit and bury it. It was indeed not an exaggeration to say that they would throw it away.

However, Old Master Cheng couldn’t bear to see her like this. In the end, he found a box to store the child and placed some burial items inside.

Xie Yunhe’s expression did not change. “You don’t look like me or your mother.” Fortunately, he had bet on this question early.

Su Xiaoxiao said without changing her expression, “We’re already a generation apart. People have been saying that I look like my father since I was young.”

Xie Yunhe asked, “Where’s the bracelet?”

Su Xiaoxiao took off the bracelet and handed it to Steward Pang, who was walking towards her.

Steward Pang handed the bracelet to Xie Yunhe.

Su Xiaoxiao was not worried that the bracelet was not real.

Of course, Su Xiaoxiao didn’t think that just a bracelet could make the Cheng family acknowledge her.

you been all these years? How did you find the Cheng family?”

Su Xiaoxiao said with a sad expression, “After my grandfather and grandmother saved my mother from the small coffin, they brought her back to Yunyao Town. My family was in the satin business. In the first few years, it was not bad. My grandfather and grandmother also doted on my mother very much. Later on, my mother married the county scholar in town, my father. My mother accidentally found out about her background and started to ask around. It wasn’t easy for her to find out the origin of this bracelet, but she encountered a plague. Half of the town was sick… I was the only one in the family who survived.”

Two years ago, there was indeed an epidemic in Cloud Water Town.

Xie Yunhe looked at Su Xiaoxiao suspiciously. “You’re just ordinary merchants in Cloud Water Town. How did you find out the origin of this bracelet?”

Su Xiaoxiao spread her hands innocently. “I’m not sure about that. You have to ask my mother. She’s underground. Do you want to ask?” Xie Yunhe was speechless.

Su Xiaoxiao took out her household register and travel pass.

The name on the household register was He Yuying.

This was not important. As long as she was the flesh and blood of the legitimate daughter of the Cheng family, she was a proper member of the Cheng family and would not be a useless miss.

After all, the daughters of the Cheng family were all looking for husbands and were not interested in marrying outside.

Steward Pang said softly, “Master, I think she’s a liar. She most likely stole from that little ‘coffin’ back then and stole property from it. She made it up to deceive us!”

Xie Yunhe said nothing.

He looked at Su Xiaoxiao without blinking.

Su Xiaoxiao met his gaze.

He was looking into her eyes, but also seemed to be looking at someone else through her eyes.

Xie Yunhe placed the household register and bracelet on the table and stood up. He said with dignity, “I’ll investigate clearly. Before that, stay in the residence first! ”

Steward Pang was stunned. “Master?”

“Go arrange it.”

With that, Xie Yunhe left the reception hall without looking back.

“I… this…

Steward Pang was dumbfounded. These two girls were clearly fake. Why did Old Master keep them?

To be honest, Su Xiaoxiao was a little surprised.

This “recognition” went more smoothly than she had imagined. She still had many things to say, but Xie Yunhe actually kept her.

Mei Ji placed her hands on her hips and said fiercely to Steward Pang, “Hurry up and prepare a courtyard for my… Young Miss!”
