Chapter 221 Recognition of relatives
Xiao Yuanshan saw his mother and eldest sister coming out of the house, both with red eyes. He walked up to them quickly and asked with concern.

"Mother, what happened to you? What happened?"

When Xiao Yuanshan asked the last question, his voice couldn't help but rise, causing Jiang Yunjin, who was originally concentrating on painting, to stop what he was doing.

When she looked up, she saw the expressions of the Queen Mother and the other two. She quickly put down the rice paper in her hand and walked forward quickly. As soon as she approached, she heard the soft voice of the eldest princess.

"Yes, I have something to tell you. Let's go inside first. Hey! Little Yunjin is here too!"

The eldest princess raised her eyes and saw the little girl, then she stretched out her hand and beckoned her to go into the house.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yunjin turned around, walked to the stone table, picked up the rice paper, and followed the others into the house.

As soon as he entered the room, Jiang Yunjin fell to his knees.

This action startled the three people in the room. The first one to come to their senses was the empress dowager. She personally stepped forward and helped the little girl up.

"Your name is Xiao Yunjin, right? Why do you act like this as soon as you enter the room? Do you have something to say?"

The Queen Mother was born beautiful, but upon closer inspection, she had some fine lines at the corners of her eyes.

For the first time, Jiang Yunjin felt that the royal family was so kind! There was not a single bit of the evil she had imagined.

When she came to her senses, she confessed her mistake.

"My dear Princess, I feel so ashamed of your care. When I saw the former prince consort just now, I realized how outrageous my painting was. Now I have drawn a new one, which is specially combined with the bone structure of the two of you. Please take a look at it, my dear Princess!"

As she spoke, she presented one of the portraits, which was taken by the Queen Mother who was standing next to her.

Upon hearing this, the Princess and Xiao Yuanshan quickly walked forward and carefully examined the portrait in front of them.

When Xiao Yuanshan took a look, he felt that the person looked familiar and immediately realized what was going on.

"Hey, this isn't what you just drew! Could it be that this is what you were working so hard on just now?"

He looked at the little girl in surprise, as if he didn't know what the little girl's intention was.

Jiang Yunjin didn't beat around the bush and told him everything about his previous painting experiences.

She had originally prepared herself to endure the eldest princess's wrath, but unexpectedly, she didn't do anything at all!
She carefully raised her head and looked at the eldest princess squatting in front of her, only to see her eyes becoming redder and redder. It took her a long time before she uttered a word with trembling voice.

"Silly child, I knew long ago that she was not my daughter, and I was lucky enough to have found my daughter."

When the eldest princess said this, a hot tear rolled out of her eyes and fell heavily on the back of her hand.

Jiang Yunjin was a little stunned and a little surprised.

She originally thought that the royal family didn't know about it, but she didn't expect that they knew it earlier than her.

Thinking of this, her heart, which had slowly calmed down, began to lift again.

The eldest princess said she found her daughter?

Who is the other party?

It’s not that she intentionally thought so, but based on her original memory, she knew that the eldest princess’s daughter was most likely her!
Just when she was looking anxious and struggling over whether to ask, her hands were suddenly and gently held by someone.

Jiang Yunjin was startled, but she did not pull her hand away. Instead, she looked at the eldest princess who was holding her hand with a puzzled look, and then she heard her speak.

"I know this is hard for you to accept, but... I am actually your mother, and you are my long-lost daughter!"

After the princess finished speaking, she began to sob and cry. Her words not only shocked Jiang Yunjin, but also shocked Xiao Yuanshan.

"Sister, what did you say? Who is Xiao Yunjin?" Xiao Yuanshan asked in shock. At this moment, Jiang Yunjin came back to her senses and raised her fair little face to look at the eldest princess.

"What did you say? It was me?"

She didn't understand why the eldest princess knew this.

She had just discovered this, and she learned it from the original owner's memory. She soon found out how the other party knew it.

The eldest princess quickly calmed down and told what she knew.

It turned out that the eldest princess had been feeling suspicious ever since Xiao Yunjin was assassinated last time. In addition, the little girl had taken the initiative to talk about the Song family's affairs, which made the eldest princess even more suspicious.

She then sent people to investigate the Song family, and also captured the wet nurse who abandoned the little princess and interrogated her again.

The wet nurse's life has been saved all these years, and not winning the prize would have made her give in.

It’s a pity that I haven’t been able to let go for so many years.

After this incident, the wet nurse's family disappeared without a trace overnight. When the princess traced back to the wet nurse, she naturally found out about her family as well, but they had not been found for all these years, which made the wet nurse grit her teeth.

But it's different now.

The eldest princess has found out the whereabouts of the wet nurse's family and even found them. She returned to the capital soon. This time... she made a deal with the wet nurse in exchange for her family.

The moment she saw the family's token, the wet nurse no longer insisted and quickly confessed everything, even telling exactly where the child was lost.

The wet nurse received the order and strangled the child to death, but after all, it was a living being, and she couldn't do it.

In addition, her family had already left under an assumed name, so she had no way to go, so she headed north to the outside of the Great Wall.

At that time, she wanted to settle down with her children at the border, which could be considered a life-saving card for herself.

She knew that if she worked for the prince consort, she would not live long, especially if she helped the prince consort to plot against the princess, which would not end well.

She left the child behind to protect herself.

But I never expected it.

When passing through a forest, she suddenly encountered a huge monster. In order to survive, she had to leave her child aside and turned around and ran away.

After avoiding the wild animals, she wanted to go back and bring the child back, but when she went back, she found that the child was nowhere to be found.

She was also panicked at the time, but after calming down, she decided to leave here and live somewhere else.

For two or three years, the wet nurse's life was not stable. Every day when she heard any sign of trouble, she would think of moving to another place.

But unexpectedly, he ended up being transferred to the capital city.

She originally thought that several years had passed and it was time to stop, but she didn't expect that she would run into the tip of the eldest princess's knife.

Especially after being locked up for several years, he was already mentally exhausted from the torture. When he heard that the eldest princess was going to harm his family, he confessed everything.

After hearing this, the princess quickly sent people outside the pass to find the forest that the wet nurse had mentioned.

The village closest to the woods is the village where the Song and Jiang families stayed.

Everything comes back to the Song family.

The princess was originally worried about alerting the enemy, so she did not ask the Song family directly. Instead, she found the villagers from the same village as the Song family and the Jiang family, and even asked the village chief.

It soon became known that Song had indeed brought back a child from the mountains a few years ago. Almost everyone in the village knew about it, but they would beat and scold the child every two years, and some even planned to eat the child's flesh when fleeing from famine!
It was also because of this child that the Jiang family split up.
