Xue Sifu stayed silent for a long time before he looked at Xue Yan and asked, “Why is he teaching you? He’s a dignified prince…”

Xue Yan’s voice became even softer, “Xue Sifu, I won’t lie to you. I’m actually Crown Prince Shu. I’m the true Crown Prince who has been missing since young. He knows that I’m the Crown Prince, so that means I’m his nephew.

His sister is actually Aunt Xiao who lives in our house. Aunt Xiao is the current Empress Shao, not the sister of any of my classmates. However, Empress Shao doesn’t know that I’m her son yet. I’ll have to wait for a while before the Empress Dowager comes here to collect the evidence proving that I am their son. When there’s no doubt about my identity as the Crown Prince, I’ll tell her.’

Pausing, Xue Yan said again, “Please… Please don’t tell the family. Father and Mother will be too shocked to handle it. I also don’t want them to feel uneasy every day because I’m the Crown Prince. I still want to stay by their side. Even if I’m accepted into the palace, I’m still a family member of the Xue family. I’ll think of a way to stay by your side. Don’t worry.”

“You…” Xue Sifu’s mouth was agape, and he was in a daze. His mind was overclocked, and the extremely shrewd attitude he had faltered. After a long while, he finally found his voice, and his voice unconsciously lowered even more. “You’re the Crown Prince?”

“Yes.” Xue Yan nodded slightly.

Jiang Yue didn’t say anything else and just watched them speak quietly.

“No, Xue Yan… Wait a minute… How can this be…” Even though Xue Sifu believed in his younger brother and felt that his younger brother would never spout such nonsense, he still found it hard to believe. His younger brother was actually the Crown Prince?

Xue Yan then told him he was thrown out and how his father Xue Dafu had picked him up.

He also mentioned how Wei Zizhan was mistaken for someone else because of the secret guard.

After hearing this, Xue Sifu was silent for a while before asking, “When did

you know about all this?”

“Before the new year, in the middle of the month, didn’t Jiang Yue and I stay in the shop during that time? At that time, we actually came to investigate my background.” Speaking up to this point, Xue Yan pursed his lips and still apologized, “I’m sorry, Xue Sifu…”

Xue Sifu immediately laughed. “Why are you apologizing to me? You can’t possibly think that I’m sad and uncomfortable, right? I’m surprised too. None of this is a small matter! I’m not upset, nor am I sad. If I’m upset, it must be because I feel that we’ve treated you so well, but you still went out looking for your original family and want to leave us. What else is there to be sad about?”

“Although I’m not a big shot, I think I’m pretty smart!” Xue Sifu even praised himself with a smile. “You’ve already said it clearly. You’re still a member of our family. It’s not like you won’t want us. I won’t misunderstand that. Besides, you already know that you’re the Crown Prince. Although you’re going to be the Emperor in the future, it’ll be dangerous. You have to investigate thoroughly no matter what. Only after you’re investigated thoroughly can you protect your family and yourself. Isn’t this very normal to keep it a secret? Don’t worry, you don’t have to apologize to me.” “Thank you.” Xue Yan obediently nodded.

“We do have to hide it from our parents though,” Xue Sifu continued,

“Otherwise, they’ll really feel uneasy. You actually have such a big title. As long as something happens to you, they would be so worried that they might lose sleep because of it. Don’t worry, if we can’t hide it anymore, we’ll tell our parents. They won’t blame you, and they won’t be sad. You and Jiang Yue are so young, yet you already have so many things hidden in your heart and are carrying so many things. Their hearts would ache knowing how much of a heavy burden you’ve been carrying..”
