The village chief nodded and followed Su Bin into his home.

Soon, Su Bin and the rest of the group arrived at the house.

As soon as the Old Marquis saw Su Bin, he couldn’t resist grabbing his hands in excitement. “Child, I must see your jade!”

Su Bin gently pulled his hand back and replied calmly, “Let’s discuss this in the study.”

It became evident that Su Bin was already aware of the entire situation, which surprised everyone.

The Old Marquis seemed taken aback for a moment, but he quickly composed himself and agreed, saying, “Alright!”

At least he wasn’t rejecting them outright. The Old Marquis could sense that his grandson possessed great abilities and remarkable composure, even after learning the truth. He also noticed that Su Bin’s wife was no ordinary woman.

The Old Marquis believed that as long as they were open to talking, everything could be resolved amicably.

Su Bin then respectfully bowed to the two governors and said, “Please forgive us. We would like to have a private conversation with you.”

The two governors smiled and replied, “It is fine. You can have your conversation with the Marquis, and we’ll wait outside the door to give you privacy.”

Understanding that the matter at hand was a family affair, the Old Marquis didn’t want them to overhear the resolution of the conflict between him and Su Bin.contemporary romance

Su Bin turned to Su Lan and the others, saying, “Let’s all go to the study together.”

Once inside the study, Su Bin took out his jade pendant, and in response, the Old Marquis also retrieved his own, his hands trembling slightly with emotion.

Su Ping couldn’t hide his surprise as he exclaimed, “My father gave that jade to me! I sold it, but why do you have it now?”

The Old Marquis gently explained, “You sold this jade, and my men purchased it back. When I saw this jade, it felt as if I had rediscovered my son, the one who ran away from home all those years ago…”

“I followed the clues to this place and discovered that my son, your father, has disappeared!”

“What?”

The revelation left them all in shock.

Their father was the son of the Old Marquis, making the Old Marquis their grandfather?

Overwhelmed with emotion, the Old Marquis couldn’t hold back tears. “You are my grandchildren, and I am your grandpa!”

Although they were excited about this newfound connection, they hesitated to fully accept it. Their father’s words echoed in their minds – they believed they had no relatives in the capital, leading them to conclude that their father had left home because of their grandfather.

All eyes turned to Su Bin, seeking answers from the calmest and most composed individuals present, Su Bin and Qin Zhenzhen.

Su Bin spoke up, “Now that our identities are confirmed, could you please explain to us the reason our father ran away from home? Why, after all these years, do you now wish us to return to the capital?”

The Old Marquis wiped away his tears, understanding that Su Bin was not easily swayed by emotions. His display of tears wouldn’t be enough to influence him. Qin Zhenzhen shared a similar demeanor.

He began to recount the painful past, saying, “The reason your father left home was that after your grandma gave birth to him, she fell seriously ill and grew weaker by the day.”

“We spared no effort in seeking medical help, gathering doctors from all corners of the family, and even hiring an imperial physician. Despite our best efforts, her condition didn’t improve. After enduring several years of illness, she eventually passed away, leaving us in sorrow.”

“Lin Nan can confirm this. The Lin Family was extremely concerned about her well-being, and the doctors they employed were reputable and trustworthy. They certainly would not have harmed her.”

“However, your father, being young and impressionable at that time, must have heard from someone else that her illness was caused by a slow-acting poison, leading to her early demise.”

“We asked him to present evidence to support such serious claims, but he couldn’t provide any. During that period, both I and the rest of the family implored him not to be influenced by others’ instigation..”
