"I want to know my true origin," Lingxiao stated plainly.
"Don't you already know?" Marquis Zhongyuan gently said with a hint of apology, "It's my fault for keeping it from you all this time."
"I want to hear it from your own lips," Lingxiao demanded with a firm tone. "I don't trust anyone else, only you."
Marquis Zhongyuan sighed and said, "Your mother... Chenchen's mother and I had been married for three years without her conceiving. In the fourth year, during the second month after I left the capital for the Border Pass, she wrote to me saying she was three months pregnant. When I returned from the Border Pass, you had already been born for two months."
"It's my biological mother I want to hear about," Lingxiao furrowed his brows.
