After the meal, Li Fugui was arranged to stay in Yang Dong’s room, where medicine was prepared, and Yang Qiu had to watch over him until he drank it. Only then did everyone return to their own rooms to sleep.
Seeing Li Fugui treating Yang Qiu , Xiaoxiao couldn’t help feeling a sense of foreboding!
Once she and Yang Ming returned to their room, she immediately asked her makeshift husband why he didn’t intervene just now, letting those two interact as they had, "Yang Ming, what are you really thinking?"
"Xiaoxiao, why do you think out of so many people, Li Fugui mistook only Xiaoqiu?" Yang Ming asked Xiaoxiao with a serious expression.
"..." Why? She had been so preoccupied with Li Fugui’s illness, afraid that it would frighten Yang Qiu, that she completely overlooked this question. Prompted by Yang Ming, she thought about it and then suddenly looked up, "Could it be..."
"The reason could very likely be that Yang Qiu really resembles the Xiaotian that Li Fugui mentioned," Yang Ming shared his speculation, "Tell me, why would Yang Qiu look like that Xiaotian?"
"..." Yang Qiu and Yang Dong are twins, shouldn’t they be the ones who look alike? How could she look like someone else, "Could it be you think Xiaotian and Yang Dong were switched at birth?"
"..." At a time , why was his wife not catching on faster? He shook his head.
"Yang Qiu and our fourth brother are twins, so why is one named Yang Qiu and the other named Yang Dong? Were they born in winter or autumn?" She had long wanted to ask this question.
"They were born in the winter. Originally we thought there was only one child and named him Yang Dong, but then it turned out there were two, and without knowing what else to call them, we had Yang Qiu since we already had Spring, Summer, and Winter in the family."
"..." That seemed rather arbitrary, "You were also born in the winter, how come you aren’t named Yang Dong?"
Only Yang Gang and Yang Ming in the family had not been named after the seasons, could it be that these two were not truly part of the family? Neither a prince nor a high-born gentleman, right? This was typical of time-travel plots, perhaps she was encountering one herself, and Xiaoxiao’s gaze towards her makeshift husband changed again.
"..." How could he know? The names parents chose were often arbitrary, and if he knew his wife was fantasizing about him being a prince or a noble lord, he’d go mad. It was possible for anyone except him because he resembled his father a lot, "Let’s focus on the matter at hand!"
Emma, Xiaoxiao had digressed inadvertently again, quickly steering the conversation back to the main issue.
If two people look alike and they’re not clones, then it’s very probable that they are blood relatives. Could it be, "Are you suggesting that Xiaotian could be the daughter that the Yang Family sold away?"
Yang Ming nodded, his wife had finally understood. His heart was indescribably complex at the moment; perhaps it really was the case.
After thinking it over, if they resemble each other to such an extent, "Yang Ming, it could be Yang Xia!"
"How so?" He also hoped it was his biological sister Yang Xia, but there was more than one child who had been sold away.
"I think children born from the same father and mother should resemble each other more than those from other relatives," she reasoned, considering the genetic factors.
"Let’s not tell the family about this yet since it’s just our speculation. What if we are overthinking it?" Yang Ming thought it best to find the person and confirm before speaking, to avoid disappointing the family.
Moreover, Li Fugui might not have mistaken someone else for Xiaotian due to resemblance; perhaps they were overthinking it.
"Now, only Li Fugui holds information about Xiaotian, so I was thinking..."
"You want Yang Qiu to pretend to be Xiaotian and probe Li Fugui for information?"
"Absolutely not, you can’t risk your own sister for the sake of one who isn’t even confirmed!"
