Jin Luoyin felt that her parents were truly open-minded. Although she clearly didn’t want to marry into the Zhu family, they were still willing to prioritize their daughter’s happiness and reluctantly accept.
But... the key point was that she also didn’t know what kind of feelings she had for Zhu Yiping?
She was willing to get close to Zhu Yiping, but when it ca to marriage, such intimacy felt a bit lacking to her.
Since her mother had already asked, she seriously considered it for a mont. After a while, she said, "Let’s wait and see. Our interaction hasn’t been long enough to understand each other well. I think I need more ti to observe before deciding."
Of course, it might also be that she felt too young, lacking experience in matters of love, and didn’t really understand.
Ti teaches everyone everything. Let’s wait and see; perhaps it will beco clear.
Gu Youyou always respected her children’s thoughts. She said, "Alright, take your ti. I will ask your father to find an excuse to keep Zhu Yiping here."
"Mm, thank you, Mom!" Jin Luoyin said sweetly.
"Oh, by the way, why did you suddenly change your brother’s na?"
Gu Youyou’s gentle gaze gradually turned cold and sowhat sad.
She said, "Because he’s not your brother!"
"What?" Jin Luoyin was completely shocked.
Gu Youyou continued, "Because he’s not your brother, we need to use this to draw out the person manipulating things behind the scenes. Luoyin, just know this, but don’t say anything or let anyone see through it; just act as if he’s your brother."
Jin Luoyin was stunned on the spot, nodding woodenly.
Not a brother, but all the effort spent to find him turned out to be for soone who wasn’t her brother.
She didn’t know what kind of hardship her real brother was enduring.
...
Zhu Yiping stayed behind, and Jian Shiqing, always tagging along like a shadow, stayed as well.
It was said to be for protecting the Young Master, as their owner was worried.
He claid to Zhu Haisheng that it would enhance the relationship between the Commandery Princess and the Young Master and that he could update them on the situation always.
But no one knew the dual deception he was struggling with inside.
With many topics to discuss among young people, they enjoyed themselves a lot every day, even planning a hunting trip to the mountains behind Lotus Village.
The hunters in these mountains were nurous, making it a good activity for the youngsters.
Everyone gradually discovered that Jin Xiang was not Jin Xuyao. Slowly, with so intentional consolation, Jin Xiang also beca bolder, occasionally joking with them and willing to learn hunting with them.
On this day, several young people went up the mountain again, while Xiao Jinyan ca to Plum Blossom Valley.
With a hint of excitent on his face, he said to Jin Zijin, "Cousin, I’ve found out about Jin Xiang’s background."
"Oh? You worked quickly."
Xiao Jinyan didn’t beat around the bush and quickly said, "From the Lai Family in Luancheng City. Sixteen years ago, they lost a son, and at that ti, Young Master Lai’s nanny was killed. This story coincidentally matches what Jin Xiang said."
"The Lai Family in Luancheng City?" Jin Zijin murmured softly. Over the years, while looking for his son, he had heard of the Lai Family and knew about their lost son.
It’s just that many families lost children during that ti, so it wasn’t uncommon.
Xiao Jinyan said, "Yes, the Lai Family reported the case to the Governor’s Office, but it hasn’t been closed yet. Every year, a large amount of silver is donated to the Governor’s Office. Unfortunately, in such places, money alone isn’t enough. The Lai Family lacks influential connections, so the Governor’s Office just takes their silver and pretends to search without really looking for Young Master Lai!"
