“Sister, don’t say anything more. I’ll help you find a doctor…” She tried to support her, but Xingcui refused. “It’s useless, I saw Brother Changfu… coming to take me.” Xingcui had a smile on the corner of her mouth and closed her eyes forever. Aunt Xing cried so much that the sky spun around. She didn’t tell her sister that Yang Xuelian, that selfish woman, wouldn’t treat Brother Changfu’s son kindly, because Yang Xuelian thought she had swapped Xiao Chonghuan’s son. As long as the child wasn’t her own, no matter how noble his identity was, Yang Xuelian, having done something unjust and being stingy, truly wouldn’t treat that child well. She dared not say it, fearing her sister would die in unrest. In the Su Mansion’s Small Yard, the elderly Aunt Xing recalled past events, “After crying, I dug a pit and buried my sister’s dead body along with Xiao Hai’s third son’s dead body. The silver notes that my sister said hadn’t been used, I didn’t take them. Because they were given by Brother Changfu to my sister, so I let my sister keep them forever. I spent a tael to erect a tombstone for my sister, which said ‘The Tomb of Lu Xingcui.’ Two years later, when Chuan’er, you were about two years old, I seized a chance to ask Shen Yun for leave, claiming my old father was sick and I was going to visit, but in reality, I quietly went to Wushan Village, and carved on your head the birthmark that only the legitimate son of the Xiao Family would have. Because even though you are my sister and Brother Changfu’s son, Xiao Hai’s couple didn’t know, Xiao Chonghuan’s couple didn’t know either. To prevent the uninformed Xiao Chonghuan from finding you and bringing you back to the Xiao Family later, you must have the birthmark on your head. As for the birthmark on the head of the real legitimate son of Xiao Chonghuan, I had long secretly used medicine to erase it.” Su Qingyue and Xiao Yuchuan listened to this complex and poignant story, moving from shock to calm. From Aunt Xing’s eyes, expression, and utterly resigned attitude, it seemed everything she said was true, with not a single lie. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝕟𝕖𝕥 Xiao Yuchuan remained silent for a long while, “Aunt Xing, you’re telling me all this…” “If I don’t say it now, I’ll never have a chance to say it. Not only are the Xiao Chonghuan couple investigating me, but I’ve also been diagnosed with a terminal illness.” Aunt Xing coughed a few times, unable to stand steadily. Xiao Yuchuan observed her complexion was indeed poor, truly at a critical stage of illness. Unable to hold back, he stood up and walked over to check her pulse. Aunt Xing indeed had a terminal illness! Late-stage cancer, already beyond medical help. Aunt Xing’s withered hand held Xiao Yuchuan’s hand in return, “Child… I am your Auntie. In my heart, you mean more to me than my life, but I have no way to leave Shen Yun. I did many bad things to help her, and she won’t let me go. I truly can’t personally care for you. You were at Xiao Hai’s House in Wushan Village, and Yang Xuelian mistakenly thought you were the heir of the Xiao Family, and she did not treat you well. You had a tough childhood, and I know it all. I can only hope you stay safe and healthy and hope you become a dragon among men in the Xiao Family as soon as possible. When Xiao Chonghuan finally defeated his elder brother Xiao Chongpei, you were already twenty-three. I finally saw you enter the Xiao Family. But I am already a frail and sick old woman, always staying at the Xiao mansion in the capital and unable to visit you in Wushan Village. I dared not contact you either, for fear that the people of the Xiao Family would see through it. Only a few days ago, I couldn’t resist and secretly watched you from afar. I also overheard the Xiao Chonghuan couple suspecting your identity, and this was investigated by this cunning old couple.” Aunt Xing held Xiao Yuchuan with great strength, tears of sadness on her aged face, “Chuan’er, you must seize the position of the family head of the Xiao Clan.”
