Zongpingchuan shook his head, without directly answering Zongyu's words.

I said, I wanted to see your mother and Jade Lotus's Elder Bai.

"You, you brought them here, and I, I will tell you."

This secret has been hidden in his heart for so many years, even Mu Yunhe didn't know it himself. Zong Yu's origins are a mystery.

Sometimes, looking at his face that resembles his own so closely, Zong Pingchuan would also wonder, Zong Yu looked more like him than Zong Bai.

Had he not seen his own child being switched with another, he would never have believed that this was not his biological son.

For so many years, Zong Pingchuan had never cared about him after throwing him out to the countryside.

Zong Yu fell silent for a moment, then suddenly let out a sneer.

"Do you think just by saying that I'll let you see them again"

"Regardless of whether I am a member of the sect, you have no face to see your mother. If you truly have any remorse for them in your heart, then don't appear before them again."

Zong Zongping was taken aback, probably not expecting that Zong Yu would truly not care about his background.

"Don't you really want to know who your biological parents are"

"Why won't you let me see Zong Bo Group one last time!"

Zong Pingchuan's fingers trembled.

Zongyu's expression had turned cold to the extreme.

“Even at death's door, you still threaten me. What good is it to call Mother and Zong Bai here To hear your repentance There’s no need for that.”

If it weren't for repentance, what would you think of seeing your mother and Zong Bai doing Could it be that you want to bury them in the Zong family ancestral hall

"I, I am a descendant of the clan, it is only right that I enter the ancestral hall."

"Zong, Zong Bai is my biological son, he... he has to send me off."

It wasn't until near death that I remembered to ask my son to send me off.

Zongyu’s face was full of mockery.

"Such a father as you, are you even worthy of Zong Bai sending you off"

"Don't even think about it!"

Zong Pingchuan was so angry that he fainted again. Fang Jinshu just rushed forward to check on his condition, luckily he wasn't dead from anger.

"Why bother fighting with him, anyway He won't be around for long."

Zongyu's face was very ugly, he didn't say a word.

Fang Jinshi stepped forward and took his arm.

"Ayu, I still really want to know about your past."

"You are related to Zongbai by blood, but also to Dong'er."

"Do you remember how King Jing once mentioned that his wife was from the Western Xia royal family I have a feeling that your background might be connected to the Western Xia royal family as well."

His gaze swept over.

"Well, I don't want to find any biological parents."

"With my mother and you, I have enough."

Fang Jinshui said helplessly, “I know you don’t have feelings for your biological parents, but I always feel that parents wouldn’t be so heartless to give their child away to someone else without a reason, and they wouldn’t even dare to let anyone know.”

"I think they must love you. They probably had no choice but to make that decision at the time."

"He just said that his real son was switched at birth and died because of it. The person who did this was originally targeting you, but the child became your scapegoat."

"Speaking of which, that's also his mother's child."

Hearing this, Zong Yu's face finally showed a trace of wavering. Indeed, his mother's child died because of him. If he didn't investigate the truth and give her mother justice, he would be truly letting her down.

Moreover, Jinxiu's analysis just now was also right.

If his parents were only going to abandon him, there was no need to go through the trouble of swapping children with the clan.

“You make sense.”

Fang Jinshu suddenly nodded, seeing Zong Yu relax his lips and continue speaking.

"It's important to figure out your origins as soon as possible. That way, we won't be so passive. Since you are Da Xi's military advisor now, knowing this allows us to prepare. If someone else finds out about your identity, things could get very complicated."

Zongyu nodded.

I'll go get Zong Bai. He...

Zong Yu looked at Zong Pingchuan, who was in a coma, and began to frown again. His voice carried a hint of imperceptible unease, and his gaze dared not meet his wife's.

"Can he still wake up"

Fāng Jǐnxiù had a helpless expression on her face, "I'll try."

"You've worked hard."

Zongyu felt he had put his daughter-in-law to trouble. If he had known better, he wouldn't have fainted from anger in the first place. In the end, it was still his own daughter-in-law who was troubled.

Fang Jinxiu smiled. "It's nothing, we don't need to be so polite between us, do we"

"Go quickly and bring Zong Bo back. Bring your mother and Yu Lian as well."

Zong Yu nodded and went out, Fang Jinxiu continued to save people.

Zong Bai ran out and didn't have much gain. It was late, and the prison wasn't letting in any riff-raff without the Imperial Minister of Personnel's permission, especially at night.

So he came back after a short while.

Zong Yi had just stepped out of the Hou Mansion gate when he bumped into Zong Bai, who returned empty-handed.

"Sorry, big brother, I couldn't find anything. I'll go to the prison again tomorrow morning."

"It's all clear, come with me, he wants to see you."

Zong Yu had never uttered the two characters "father" about his father. Before, it was because he didn't think he deserved to be called his father; now, there was simply no need.

They weren't even biological father and son.

"See me Father" Zong Bai asked with a look of surprise.

"Um."

Zong Bai hurriedly followed his elder brother's steps, "Brother, did he wake up"

"Awake."

"Then what does he want to see me for I don't want to see him."

Zong Bai hadn't forgotten that it was someone who had taken away his title of top scholar, and he had almost died under their board.

As for Zong Pingchuan, this father, Zong Bai originally only had hatred in his heart.

But now, looking at his frail and dying appearance, I can't help but feel pity.

"You'll see when you meet him. He has something to say to you."

"Go and call your mother and Jade Lily over too."

Zong Bai saw that his elder brother's expression was very serious, and the words of refusal reached his lips before being swallowed back down.

"Okay, I'll go call them now."

Soon, Zong Yu led Mu Shi and Yu Lianzong Bai to appear by Zong Pingchuan's bedside.

Fan Jinshu embroidered the last stitch and finally saw his eyelids slowly reopen.

"Awake."

Zong Pingchuan opened his eyes and immediately reached out to Zong Bai, wanting him closer.

zong bai hesitated greatly, fang jinhui retreated to the back, nodding at him.

Zong Bai reluctantly walked to the bedside and sat down, still allowing Zong Pingchuan to grasp his palm.

"Berl, father is sorry to you."

"Actually, Dad is really happy that you were able to get the top spot on the exam. You truly are, my son."

Zong Bai couldn't help but draw his hand back to retort, "I was able to pass the imperial examinations and become a top scholar thanks to my elder brother and sister-in-law's meticulous guidance and support."

"It has nothing to do with you."

You just abandoned us in the countryside and left us to our own devices, now you're trying to put a good face on it.

Seeing his son so resentful of him, Zong Pingchuan began to cry again. He regretted it now; he should have never changed Zong Bai's status as the top scholar.

Zongyu didn't want to see him like this, repentant. Besides, he had nothing to say to himself anyway, so he walked out the door and waited alone.

Fang Jinshi saw this and followed along, accompanying her husband in the courtyard to look at the stars.

"Actually, you still have feelings for him, don't you."

Even if Zong Pingchuan wasn't Ayu's biological father, the two had lived under the same roof for over a decade as father and son. By the time Zong Pingchuan left home, Ayu was already fifteen years old, old enough to understand emotions.

Unlike Zong Bai, who was born without ever seeing his father, he never experienced love, and therefore naturally had no hate.

Although Zong Yu disliked speaking much, as his wife Fang Jinxiu knew, her husband's heart was kinder and softer than anyone else's.

God was truly cruel to him.umphant return.Among these, there must be Zong Pingchuan's methods too!He didn't die, and he even became a high-ranking official of the third rank in the court, with a smooth career path.Mu shi's eyes...
