“Let’s talk about it, what does that jade pedant look like?” Dongfang Mu asked. This was the final verification, as long as it is correct, things can be sure.

Zhao Lan said: “I remember that it was a very special jade pendant. There was a laughing Buddha carved on it. The fingertip of the laughing Buddha was red and his belly was emerald in color. My husband was afraid that the jade pendant would be taken away by his brother, so hid it somewhere, that even I didn’t know where. My husband died so suddenly that he didn’t have a chance to tell me where it was. This jade pendant seemed to have disappeared, until a few months ago, I saw the jade pendant hanging on the Old Lady’s neck of the Bai Family. Now the Old Lady is dead. It is estimated that it has fallen into the hands of her two sons.”

Dongfang Mu’s dangling heart finally fell to the ground. Everything was right, and everything could be matched.

“So, did you flee from Huangtuo Village?”

Zhao Lan nodded: “Yes, we are from Huangtuo Village. How did you know?”

Dongfang Mu laughed and said: “We have found the clue from Huangtuo Village, but who knows that when our people rushed to the village, the village fell into chaos. There was no one, and so this matter was delayed again.”

Zhao Lan didn’t know what mood she was in. She was happy for Bai Zhi, but she was also a little flustered. She was very happy that Bai Zhi had found her relatives, but she was afraid that Bai Zhi would leave her.

At this time, Bai Zhi came in from the outside, still dressed as a boy. When she saw Zhao Lan, Hu Changlin, and others, she was very surprised: “Mother? Why are you here?”

Zhao Lan hurriedly got up and walked quickly to Bai Zhi. She held Bai Zhi’s hand and said: “Zhi’er, this is your grandfather, pay respect quickly!”

Bai Zhi was shocked: “How did you know?”

Zhao Lan was surprised to see her like this, she asked: “You already know?”

Bai Zhi smiled and said: “I guessed it a little.” She didn’t expect that the matter had not been completely clarified, but her identity was exposed… …

Dongfang Mu walked in front of the two and looked at the yellow face of Bai Zhi, then said with wet eyes: “Little girl, you have suffered.”

Bai Zhi smiled: “I didn’t suffer. My mother is so good to me, I’m living a good life. It’s you who suffer!”

Dongfang Mu tried to endure for a long time, but now, he couldn’t hold back.  He cried for a long time. Thinking about his granddaughter’s suffering these years, and the tragic life of his daughter, but the culprit was living freely. And also, that Pei Qinghan brought a fake daughter. He wants to see how long he can remain free!

Bai Zhi didn’t know how to comfort the crying old man. She had no experience in this area. She didn’t know what to say or do at this moment.

After Dongfang Mu stabilized’s emotion stabilized, Bai Zhi said: “I want to know, what happened that year? Why I was thrown away in the mountains thousands of miles away from the capital?”

Dongfang Mu said: “At that time, I was unable to enter the capital because of an urgent matter. When that thing happened, I wasn’t there. Wan’er was sick. And when I arrived, Pei Qinghan told me that the child had been buried. Later, I asked him where is the jade pendant, he said the jade pendant was buried with the child. I didn’t think he was such a kind of person, so I didn’t pursue this matter anymore.”

Bai Zhi said: “In that case, the lady’s poisoning, and the person who abandoned me, is Pei Qinghan, my biological father?”

Dongfang Mu replied: “I guess Pei Qinghan didn’t want to abandon you, but to kill you. It’s just a pity, he found the wrong person, that person didn’t kill you, but threw you in the mountains thousands of miles away. Fortune and misfortune depend on fate. It seems our Dongfang Family’s fortune is good, and you survived.”
