Huo Xing'Er lowered her gaze, pondering for a moment before finally deciding to reveal some of the truth.
"He and Suisui share a connection. I can faintly perceive their bond of kinship."
"Ah!"
Ji Youcheng's mouth suddenly fell agape, wide enough to fit an entire egg.
"How can this be? Suisui isn't even five years old yet. Who in our Ji Family could possibly be of an age with that Erhu?"
"This connection isn't necessarily through the Ji Family's bloodline. It could also stem from the Li Family. However, such a strong blood tie usually indicates kinship within five mourning grades, or at most, within three generations."
A blood bond within three generations? Ji Youcheng was stumped. "Should we investigate his background?"
"Naturally, we must. But where would we even begin to look right now? That Old Mister Fang? Or everyone in the large compound?"
"Second Sister-in-law, you don't need to concern yourself with this. Leave the investigation to me. Please take Suisui home first."
