Dongfang Mu didn’t stop him, he only half-squinted his eyes to look at the so-called Yan’er in Pei Qinghan’s mouth.

Bai Zhenzhu stepped forward, knelt in front of Dongfang Mu, and kowtowed: “Grandfather!” Her voice slightly trembled and she didn’t even dare to lift her head. After all, she was a fake. She felt guilty inside her heart.

Pei Qinghan hurriedly said: “And your mother, this is your mother.”

Bai Zhenzhu turned her knees and turned to face Dongfang Wan on the other side and kowtowed: “Niang!”

Whether she called Dongfang Mu ‘grandfather’ or Dongfang Wan ‘mother’, her voice trembled. People could only feel that she was scared, they didn’t sense any trace of joy or excitement in her.

At this kind of moment, shouldn’t be people crying in joy?

Why everyone was so calm?

Dongfang Wan said: “Get up, come over and let me see you!”

Bai Zhenzhu got up obediently and walked slowly to Dongfang Wan. Even at this moment, she didn’t dare to look straight at Dongfang Wan.

Dongfang Wan said: “Child, look up quickly.”

Bai Zhenzhu had no choice but to slowly raise her head. When her eyes fell on the woman in front of her, she was shocked. Her heartbeat was like a beating drum, and her forehead was filled with sweat.

The woman in front of her was very beautiful. Especially those eyes of her, she felt like she had seen it before.

Dongfang Wan was also shocked. Her heart was filled with disappointment. This child’s face was not even half similar to her. She still remembered that when her daughter was born, the midwife said that the child’s eyes looked like her eyes. Her eyes were big and she had double eyelids. However, the girl in front of her has small eyes and single eyelids. How can a person’s eyes change?

She is not Yan’er.

For some reason, Dongfang Wan was relieved.

Seeing his daughter’s face like this, Dongfang Mu knew that his daughter had already analyzed things, so he turned his head and said to Pei Qinghan: “You said she is Pei Xiayan, what evidence do you have? You can’t just simply say it. Just like when your upper lip touches your lower lip, and that’s it, right?”

The calmness of Dongfang Mu and Dongfang Wan greatly exceeded Pei Qinghan’s expectations. If they were calm at the capital’s gate before, he can say to himself that it was because they hadn’t seen the person yet. But now that the person was in front of them, how can they still be calm? And why?

After all, Pei Qinghan had planned for a long time, and this matter had been in his mind for many days. He had thought all kinds of rhetoric and he had long been familiar with it inside his heart. When Dongfang Mu asked, although he was surprised, he still had his virtues.

Pei Qinghan said: “Father-in-law, she is indeed Xiayan, I have confirmed.”

Dongfang Mu asked, “How did you confirm it? Let’s hear it!” Dongfang Mu picked up the tea and took a sip with a bit smile on his face. As if he was sitting in a teahouse and listening to the drama.

Pei Qinghan said: “That is, after I got the news, I followed it all the way. After several months of searching, I finally found out that the child was brought to the northwest by the servant who should have buried her. I and the servant personally went to the northwest to look for her. The servant said that he threw the child in the mountain, and then we went to the nearby village. I didn’t expect that I would found the child in there.”

Dongfang Mu asked: “How can you be sure that she is the same child back then? Looking at you two, you don’t look alike.”

Pei Qinghan dryly laughed dryly: “We are a bit similar, we’re not completely different.” He coughed and said: “I found a family in the village. That family was the one who picked her up 13 years ago. They said that she has a piece of Laughing Buddha jade pendant on her body. Everything fits together, there is no mistake.”
