As soon as he entered the door, Chen Xiangyuan quickly withdrew his hand and closed the door.

"Miss Song, I'm Chen Xiangyuan, you got the wrong person."

Song Tingran was stunned. He looked carefully at the person in front of him, but he couldn't tell the difference between them. Their clothes and appearance were exactly the same as Chen Xiangyin's.

"Really? But I think you are Sister Chen."

"Miss Song is too hopeful, so she thinks that I am really Chen Xiangyuan."

Chen Xiangyuan stopped imitating Chen Xiangyin, his tone and demeanor relaxed, and Song Tingran also felt the difference.

Even though they look the same, their expressions and temperaments are different, just like Wen Ci and Wen Li, no matter how similar they look, they are still different.

Song Tingran was very disappointed and poured him a cup of tea. "Please sit down. I recognized the wrong person."

Chen Xiangyuan didn't hesitate and sat on the stool and took a sip of tea. He had been wandering around here for the whole afternoon and was hungry and thirsty. He just wanted to let people see his presence.

"Admitting mistakes is a good thing. It means that I pretended very well. If Miss Song can admit her mistakes, then others will also admit their mistakes. That will make things easier."

Song Tingran perked up, "What do you mean? Also, why hasn't Xiaokui replied to my letter? And what's going on with Liu Bai?"

She was very anxious. Sitting face to face with Chen Xiangyuan, the small table in the middle seemed like a chasm, too far to cross.

"Ms. Song, don't worry. This is a long story. I need to stay here for a while to lure out the person behind this. If someone asks who I am, just be vague."

Song Tingran shook her head, which surprised Chen Xiangyuan a little. He didn't expect her to refuse.

"Things are not clear. I know you and Xiaokui must know more than me. Tell me. No matter what your plans are, this matter involves me after all. I will face it with you."

Chen Xiangyuan frowned, looked worried, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

"Miss Song, this matter is very serious. I really dare not say anything. I just want to say, believe me, as long as I come, the people behind the scenes will definitely take action, and then we can catch them. The people I brought are already lying in ambush nearby."

Chen Xiangyuan was very determined. Song Tingran was anxious and said, "I can understand if you can't say it. Then pick out what you can say and tell me."

"My sister died six years ago. She committed suicide. Her memorial tablet is in the bamboo forest of Moxiang Embroidery Workshop. You have seen it."

At this moment, Song Tingran felt as if the sky had fallen. She leaned on the table, somewhat unable to hold on. The candlelight was dim, and she could not feel the passage of time.

"Miss Song, my sister is here to protect me, my father, and Xiaokui. The burden on him is too heavy and he can only bear it with his life. I hate that I can't bear it with him."

Chen Xiangyuan slammed his fist on the table. It was obvious that he had never practiced martial arts, unlike Chen Xiangyin who had deep internal strength.

"Chen Xiangyuan, I don't believe Sister Chen is dead, he must be Liu Bai, right?"

"It can't be yes or no, he can only be Liu Bai, and Chen Xiangyin is dead."

Chen Xiangyuan was also a little excited. Song Tingran took a sip of tea. She really didn't know what had happened to Chen Xiangyin.

A man who had made great contributions to the country was going to die, reappearing as someone else, and then disappearing. Even his family had to keep it a secret.

Sister Chen, you have kept it a secret from me, Song Tingran thought to herself, and finally asked tearfully, "Is Liu Bai still alive?"

"I do not know."

Song Tingran held his head, these four words were too heavy.

knock knock knock.

There was a gentle knock on the door, and Shi Yan's voice came: "Wife, Miss Chen, I made noodles, they are ready."

Song Tingran wiped her tears in a hurry and asked Shi Yan to come in in a hoarse voice.

The door opened, and Shi Yan was holding a wooden tray with two bowls of vegetable and egg noodles and a side dish on it.

"My wife, Miss Chen, come and eat. There's more in the kitchen. I made a lot."

Shi Yan was just talking. He noticed the abnormal emotions of the two people, but did not mention it.

"Okay, thank you." Chen Xiangyuan was very polite. He was really hungry, so he picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Song Tingran couldn't eat, but she wasn't hungry, so she pushed her share to Chen Xiangyuan.

"Shi Yan, clean up a guest room for him to stay in. If anyone asks, just say he's a distant relative and tell his family."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Shi Yan sometimes even closed the door. The children at home had all gone to bed, and the inner courtyard was quite quiet.

Xiao Yuchen was washing up in the bathroom. Seeing Shi Yan busying around, he hurried over to help.

"Chen Xiangyuan, I actually know something you can't tell me, but you should have told me that Sister Chen committed suicide. I have been waiting for her to complete her mission and come back to reunite with me for so many years."

"He didn't let us talk about it, and asked me to take charge of the embroidery workshop and let Xiaokui accompany you to relieve your boredom. He said that he has no hope in this life, so this is the best way."

After answering, Chen Xiangyuan started to eat the noodles, with tears mixed in with the noodles. If he had known, he would not have let Shi Yan add salt.

After he finished eating the two bowls of noodles, Song Tingran asked very seriously: "When he committed suicide, given his responsibility, he definitely didn't tell you and Xiaokui. You also set up a memorial tablet, so you must have really thought he was dead."

"Ah."

"So, he is alive again. Someone must have saved him. He couldn't come back with his previous identity, so he used Liu Bai's identity and used a disguise technique to change his appearance. Who was the person who saved him?"

Chen Xiangyuan didn't expect Song Tingran to guess so much, so he just looked at her.

"It doesn't matter if you don't say anything. I just think that if he died for you, he wouldn't want to live. The person who can save him must be very powerful. If we can find him, maybe we can find Liu Bai."

Chen Xiangyuan didn't understand and felt that Song Tingran's thoughts jumped too fast and he couldn't keep up.

"Miss Song, what are you talking about? What is the connection between the two?"

"Chen Xiangyuan, your brother and I are close friends. I know him too well, just like he knows me too well. If I were him, I would go to die with the determination to die, but was rescued by accident and had a new face. I would definitely keep in touch with that person. He has been through a lot for many years, and he will definitely not lose such a good resource when he has nothing."

Chen Xiangyuan suddenly realized, hope was rekindled in his eyes, and in an instant, he regained his sanity.

"Miss Song, you mean... my brother?"

"Well, I didn't know before. I probably knew it after Liu Bai came. But at that time I didn't know what happened and no one told me. I think he is safe here."

"This is a heinous crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of a clan." Chen Xiangyuan was so calm that his hair stood on end.
