Fragrance Returned

Ding Zhao belatedly covered Ding Xiang's mouth and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense."

Ding Xiang took her big hand away and said in surprise, "Is it true?"

Ding Zhuang's hands were shaking with excitement. For so many years, he has been looking forward to An An's family coming to him, but he is also afraid that An An's family will come to him.

From the bottom of his heart, for the safety of his family, he didn't want anyone to come looking for him. But because that person was An An's nephew, An An looked forward to it every day when he was alive, so he looked forward to finding him...

Ding Zhuang took a few deep breaths and said to Ding Xiang, "Good granddaughter, I and your father have something to discuss. You should go back and rest. Be good."

How could Ding Xiang leave, her little head shook like a rattle, "I won't leave, I analyzed this matter first, you can't leave me alone."

He shook his grandfather's sleeve again and said, "Master, I am very smart and think more than you. I can give you advice. Moreover, I am also a key person and must know the inside story."

Ding Zhao looked at his daughter and said, "Dad, Xiangxiang is very thoughtful, so just tell her about that matter. Xiangxiang remembers it. This matter is big and must not be told."

Ding Xiang hurriedly promised, "I won't tell anyone, I swear. If you don't let me tell you about Jitou Peak, I won't."

Ding Zhuang sighed and said, "That matter was told to me before An An died. Before she could finish her words, she died..."

Xue An said that her real name was not Xue An, and she was not Xue Pingfu's illegitimate daughter.

Her father's name was Dong Yingli. Before his family was confiscated, he was the Marquis of Feng'en and served as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. She is Dong Yingli's youngest daughter, her maiden name is Dong Ruyue.

That day, her father suddenly said that there might be a big disaster in the family and asked her and her eldest brother's son Dong Yihe to escape from the capital.

In order to save at least one person, the Dong family arranged for the two of them to escape separately, and gave each of them a token.

No matter how difficult it is, they must survive, reverse the case for the Dong family, and get rid of those who harmed the Dong family.

Even if they die, their descendants must continue. Recognition is a token that two people can be together.

The token in Dong Ruyue's hand is a jade pendant. If Dong Yihe or Dong Yihe's descendants are alive, they will definitely go to her or her descendants to get this jade...

"An An was fourteen years old that year and Dong Yihe was six years old. That's all I know. I can see that An An still has a lot to say to me... Sigh."

Tears welled up in Ding Zhuang's eyes again.

After a lot of time, he added, "An An is a strong woman, and she will grit her teeth and survive no matter how difficult the situation is. But she cannot be a concubine for an official, for fear of exposing her identity. She also does not want to become a monk, otherwise she will not have a wife."

"She threw herself into the river to risk her life, because she saw several young men on the river bank. If she jumped into the river, there would be a man to save her. After saving her, her reputation was gone, but she could justifiably marry the man who saved her. .

"I happened to rescue her, and she married me... It was my fault that I failed to protect her. She managed to escape the disaster, but died at the hands of my mother and Ding Xia.

"After so many years, I thought Dong Yihe was dead and would never be found again. Calculating time, Dong Yihe should be turning 40 this year, which coincides with Zhu Qian's age."

Ding Zhuang stretched out his hand to touch Ding Xiang's face and whispered, "I was thinking before that Xiang Xiang is most like An An, and I will leave that jade pendant to you in the future."

I see.

Grandma An An’s real name is Dong Ruyue.

What a beautiful name.

I escaped the big waves in the river, but capsized in the gutter.

Pity.

Ding Zhao asked, "Dad, do we recognize him?"

Ding Zhuang said, "Acknowledge them and hand over the token. It is An An's biggest last wish. It must be acknowledged. Zhu Qian and the others can see that Xiangxiang is like the Dong family. If the enemies of the Dong family see Xiangxiang, Xiangxiang will be the same as us." More dangerous. Only by completely eliminating those people can we be safe."

Ding Zhao nodded and clenched his fists again, "Yes, follow them. If you do well, our family will have a great future. If you can survive overseas, you will be recruited in the name of a pirate and build your own gang in Jiaozhou, far away from the capital." The forces are finding us step by step... He is a capable person. Even if there is danger in the future, at worst we will escape overseas with them..."

Ding Zhao looked at Ding Xiang again, "Xiangxiang, do you understand? You are a descendant of the Dong family girl, that is, a descendant of the Dong family. Whether it is based on your grandma's last wish or our family's own safety, grandpa and dad Everyone must recognize the Dong family."

Ding Xiang looked at Ding Zhao strangely. He knew best that she was not his biological daughter, that is, she was not a descendant of the Dong family.

How come he is not surprised at all that he looks like his mother and Zhu Qian's daughter, and yet he can still tell lies with his eyes open?

Unless this cunning father is hiding something from himself, or even from his grandfather.

Could it be that he already knew that he was Xun Qiandai's daughter, and that Xun Qiandai's biological mother was Dong Ruyue's sister?

Lilac shuddered. He actually concealed such a big matter without revealing any clues.

Ding Zhao, Ding Zhao, you are so cunning.

Ding Xiang was speechless. Grandpa, an old ghost, didn't notice daddy's crooked intestines, and neither did I, a little kid who had lived for two lifetimes.

Ding Zhao continued, "Last time I went to the capital to sell rice paper recipes, I specifically inquired about the Dong family. Thirty years ago, the Dong family committed treason and was exterminated, including babies and women. Except for my mother and Dong Yihe escaped early, and only three married girls from the Dong family were not killed in the catastrophe.

"My mother's eldest sister married Dong Ruyi into the Xun family, her second sister Dong Rulan married into the Shen family, and a cousin married into the Wang family in Dingzhou. However, they all died of illness within a year of the Dong family's accident. This shouldn't be the case. It's a coincidence.

"I also inquired about it. My eldest aunt gave birth to two sons before she died. The eldest son Xun Qianli worked as an errand in the Procuratorate and had two sons. The second son Xun Qiandai became the consort and had a son and a daughter. The second aunt only had one son. Shen Yu has been in poor health since childhood and has no heirs."

When talking about Shen Yu, his expression was unnatural. Looking into Ding Xiang's pure and searching eyes, she lowered her eyes to hide the contents in her eyes.

Lilac understood. Ding Zhao said that Xun Qiandai's expressions were normal when he and he had a son and a daughter, so he probably did not suspect that he was Xun Qiandai's daughter. And Shen Yu has no heirs. Maybe he found out something and thought that she was Shen Yu's daughter.

Ding Xiang was surprised and sighed at the same time, how come it was such a coincidence and everything went wrong.

Seeing that Ding Xiang was still dazed, Ding Zhuang thought that this incident was too unbelievable and made his young granddaughter unable to turn around for a while.

He held Ding Xiang in his arms and said, "Don't be afraid, granddaughter. If Zhu Qian is really Dong Yihe, I will make it clear to him that your safety must be guaranteed. If there is danger, let him send you away first."

Grandpa always puts himself first. How disappointed and sad he would be if he found out in the future that she was not his biological granddaughter.
