Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1040: Chapter 1041: Birthmark

At last, Han Xinrui concluded, ”Only if our grandnephew becomes the Emperor can our family’s situation turn around!”

Over the years, the Emperor of Xiyun had been suppressing the Han family. If not for the desire to change their family’s fortunes and restore them to their former glory, why would they tirelessly search for the Seventh Prince—their grandnephew in secret?

Han Xinche longed to achieve great accomplishments, but even though he had been conferred the title of Great General, his martial arts ability had not been fully utilized. Instead, he was trapped in the Imperial Capital, harbor a great deal of resentment in his heart.

But with Su Haoyu as the Emperor, how could his family compete with Su Haoyu, the Monarch?

Therefore, he had always been enduring.

Carrying the entire Han family’s constrained silence with him.

He dreamt that one day, they would find their grandnephew, eliminate Su Chengyu, the Crown Prince, and have their grandnephew ascend the throne. Then, their family would surely shine more brightly than in its original splendor.

But for the sake of reviving the Han family, even understanding the painstaking decisions of their eldest sister, Han Xinche and his brother continued their covert search for their grandnephew.

And because they did not know where their eldest sister had sent their grandnephew, they had never been able to find him.

Hearing the words of his brother, Han Xinrui, Han Xinche felt the resentment in his heart surge once more, his ambition thwarted in the Imperial Capital, unable to find proper expression!

After calming the resentment in his heart, Han Xinche cautiously said, ”Everyone still thinks our grandnephew is dead; we can’t reveal the fact that he’s still alive. If Su Haoyu learns of it, he would definitely strike ruthlessly again.”

”Brother, even if you don’t remind me, I am aware of the serious implications,” Han Xinrui immediately responded with a solemn nod.

Han Xinche nodded in approval, satisfied with his brother’s current demeanor. Then he continued, ”Our grandnephew has a birthmark on his waist. If Gong Juechen has an identical one, then he must be our grandnephew.”

Han Xinrui immediately stood up and said, ”Then let’s go check for a birthmark on Gong Juechen’s waist right now!”

”Stop!” Han Xinche halted Han Xinrui. ”Can’t you be less impulsive? I was just talking to you seriously, and you were nodding along perfectly fine.”

”Brother, what did I do?” Han Xinrui asked, looking baffled.

Han Xinche was both angry and helpless, but still said, ”We’ve just said that no one should know our grandnephew is alive. If we go now to check Gong Juechen for the birthmark, won’t we be openly showing our suspicion that Gong Juechen is our grandnephew? We can’t take that risk.”

Han Xinrui chuckled sheepishly and said, ”Brother, if I didn’t have you always there to guide me, I would definitely make even more mistakes.”

”Alright, you’re my brother; I can’t just ignore you.” After a pause, Han Xinche shifted the conversation back to the matter at hand, ”This task of verifying whether Gong Juechen has the birthmark must be done without anyone noticing. Our family couldn’t afford a loss before, and even less so now. We can’t make a single misstep; Su Haoyu is always looking for a way to eliminate our family righteously, and we can’t give him the chance.”

”Uh-huh, I’ll listen to you, brother,” Han Xinrui agreed. After all, he was only there to voice his opinions; the real decisions were always made by his older brother.
