CHAPTER 624: CHAPTER 533: SECOND UNCLE, DO YOU STILL NEED ME? (THIRD UPDATE)

Tong Airui took out the other pieces of evidence. "Here’s the DNA test of Nancy with Emperor Haotian and Empress Haotian—it shows no blood relation. And this one is yours with Danton, your genes have a fifty percent similarity.

This letter was given to me by Ke Jingran—it was written by his brother before he passed away. From the contents, it reveals that the DNA sample Nancy used was actually your hair."

Yi Luowa looked through the evidence one by one, her eyes moistening again. But with so many people present, she held back her tears, fearing her emotions might affect others.

"Where’s Nancy?" Yi Luowa angrily asked. The thought of how an imposter dared to flaunt herself before her made her blood boil, especially considering how her chest ached every time Nancy came to her home.

"She escaped. Empress Haotian has been pursuing her, but there hasn’t been any news yet."

Yi Luowa frowned slightly. "Evil deeds bring evil retribution—she will meet her fate. Thankfully, no major damages were caused."

"Indeed, evil goes punished. Her accomplice, Xia Rou, has already committed suicide. That venomous woman even dared to twist your background into something so degrading..."

Yi Luowa frowned slightly again. "So Xia Rou is dead, and Nancy has fled, which means everything is shrouded in mystery once again."

"Much of the truth has already been pieced together. Even who poisoned Katy’s child has been identified."

Danton anxiously turned to Tong Airui. "Who poisoned the child?"

Tong Airui’s mouth twitched involuntarily. The little guy was so tense—he must be terrified that it’s his mother who committed the crime.

"It was Nancy who poisoned the child! She used leftover milk beans meant for Yose—the servant thought it’d be a waste, secretly ate them, and then started experiencing abnormal symptoms. When your mother found out about this, she arranged for a full health checkup on the servant, where it was discovered that both she and Yose were poisoned with the same substance."

Upon hearing this, Danton let out a long sigh of relief. "I knew it—Mom would never do something like that. But what were Nancy and Xia Rou’s true motives for entering the palace? To kill me and Yose and then have Nancy inherit the throne?"

Tong Airui nodded, then shook his head. "That was their goal, but it’s not the ultimate one. This matter is still being investigated by your parents."

Yi Luowa’s emotions remained unsettled—her ears were listening, her mind racing. Yet, she found herself blank-headed, as if all she could comprehend was that she was a child with parents, and nothing else registered.

Noticing Yi Luowa standing there absentmindedly, Tong Airui gently stroked her head with a sense of distress. "Still spacing out? Emperor Haotian and Empress Haotian will come here in the next few days. If you’re like this, what will you do when they arrive?"

"With so much happening over there, why are they coming here? Are they abandoning the country?!" Yi Luowa finally snapped out of it.

"The country is important, but a daughter is more so!" Danton replied with a laugh, walking over. "Sis, Mom told me that for your and the kids’ safety, they decided to come here first to reunite with you. Once things are stable back home, they’ll take you and the kids there to formally acknowledge your lineage."

Yi Luowa managed a silly smile, tugging at the corners of her lips. It felt truly wonderful to have parents and siblings.

As she smiled, Yi Luowa suddenly thought of her uncle. Now that she’d found her biological parents, would her uncle abandon her?

She began searching through the crowd—how could someone like Uncle Yi Weiyang, tall as he was, just vanish?

Tong Airui noticed what she intended to do, grabbed her hand, and led her through the crowd to Yi Weiyang.

Huo Li was cleaning Yi Weiyang’s tears as he sat on the sofa. Seeing Yi Luowa approach, she gently pushed him forward.

Yi Weiyang slowly raised his tear-filled eyes to look at Yi Luowa.

Uncle’s eyes were swollen red from crying. Trembling, Yi Luowa extended her hand to his face, softly wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes.

The more she wiped, the more tears Yi Weiyang shed.

Yi Luowa also silently began to cry. After a long moment, she choked out, "Uncle, do you still want me?"

No sooner had she said this than the entire room fell into tears.

Yi Weiyang, more overcome than anyone, sobbed so hard his shoulders trembled.

Yi Luowa wept as she repeated, "Do you still want me?"

Yi Weiyang grabbed her hands, stood up, and proclaimed, "As long as you don’t think Uncle is a burden, in this life, and in the next, you’ll always be my child!"

"Uncle..." Yi Luowa threw herself into his arms, crying out loudly.

"Come now, dear..." Tong Airui, unable to steady himself from her sobbing, softly patted her shoulder. "Finding your biological parents is a joyous occasion. You wouldn’t want everyone around you to cry with you, right? That’s enough—no more tears."

"Luowa, don’t cry anymore." Yi Weiyang gently patted Yi Luowa’s back. "Your father told me that, since he’s a few years older than me, from now on, we’ll act as brothers. I’ll always be here, and you won’t have to separate from me for as long as we live."

Yi Luowa, through her sobs, managed to say, "We won’t separate—we’ll never separate."

Tong Airui, seeing her finally calm down, apologized to the rest of the room. "Everyone go rest now—Luowa is fine."

One by one, the group approached Yi Luowa to offer their congratulations before retreating to their rooms.

Once the elders had left, the remaining younger members showed no intention to disperse. After Yi Luowa returned from sending Yi Weiyang to his bedroom, Tong Aino smiled and suggested, "Why don’t we have a drink to celebrate?"

"But don’t drink too much!" Tong Yao, halfway up the stairs, returned upon hearing their plans.

"Mom, it’ll be fine. Don’t worry and go to bed—we’ll just have a glass of red wine and won’t get rowdy." Tong Aino supported her mom with a laugh and escorted her up the stairs.

"And don’t let Connie drink—it’s bad for the baby," Tong Yao called back over her shoulder in concern.

"Connie, why don’t you go up with Mom? Don’t stay up late with us." Yi Luowa looked worriedly at Connie.

"How could I miss such a joyful moment? Don’t worry—I won’t drink; I’ll just watch you guys." Connie chuckled, turning back toward Tong Yao. "Mom, head upstairs. I’ll take care of myself."

Tong Yao smiled softly. "Alright, I’m going up then."

Once Mi Chenxuan saw his uncle and aunt heading upstairs, he waved to the group. "Let’s not bother fetching wine from the cellar; we can drink in the basement. That way, we won’t disturb anyone, and we won’t need to keep running back and forth for more."

"How much do you want to drink?" Tong Airui frowned slightly. "Let’s keep it to one glass per person, just a token gesture. After that, everyone should go get some rest. Once the dust settles, I’ll treat you all to dinner for a proper celebration."

"You don’t drink, so stop dampening our spirits!" You Jia snorted, hooking her arm around Mi Chenxuan’s and walking out the door.

Tong Airui tilted his head toward his wife. "Who’s been giving You Jia so much boldness lately? She’s been arguing back at me for everything I say these days!"

"Haha... Dad and Auntie’s drama seems to have been passed down to you and You Jia," Tong Aino chuckled smugly.

"Whenever I see that laugh of yours, I just want to smack you!" Tong Airui huffed at him.

Unbothered, Tong Aino turned to Connie with a teasing look. "Wife, what do you think? Do you think Sis and Ai Ni are asleep yet?"

"Ai Ni is probably asleep, but Sis might not be asleep so early. What’re you planning?"

"I’m blowing up the group chat!" Tong Aino grinned, whipping out his phone to post an explosive announcement: My fourth sister-in-law has reunited with her biological parents!

Raindrop replied immediately: Really?!

Monica: Congratulations, congratulations! Who are they?

You Jia: Congrats, Fourth Sis! Should I wake Ai Ni?

Qiqi: Luowa, you didn’t cry, did you? This is a happy occasion—you absolutely shouldn’t cry!

Lance: Fourth Brother, take good care of Luowa. We’re coming home tomorrow night for a proper celebration. Quick question—Is Luowa’s father Emperor Haotian?

Raindrop: (shock emoji) BRO, did you not sleep through this?!!

Qiqi: We’re still awake. Paging Fourth Brother and Luowa—is your brother’s guess correct?

Yi Luowa read the chat with a smile. "Fifth Brother, you’ve stirred things up. Hurry and respond."

"Sis, what’re they saying? Let me see." Danton leaned in excitedly.

Yi Luowa smiled, moving her phone to his side. "Would you like to join the group? I can add you, and you can chat with everyone."

"Better not...I mean, this is a group with Brother-in-law’s siblings—they wouldn’t mind me, would they?"

"They’re my siblings; that makes them yours too. Join—it’s okay to talk with them." Tong Airui glanced at the phone and chuckled. "Let’s wait until Ai Ni wakes up to make the big announcement—for now, let them stew a little."

Yi Luowa gave him a grateful look, touched that he treated Danton like his own brother.

Yi Luowa pulled Danton into the group chat. As they reached the door, she took the time to button up Danton’s coat. "It’s cold outside—you’re not in the best health, so don’t catch a cold."

"Sis...Finding you is the best thing ever! Nancy would sometimes show concern for me back then, but I never truly felt her care. Everything you do warms me to my core."

Tong Airui glanced back at the two of them and quipped jealously, "Wife, I’m cold too."
