The Virtuous Consort's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, "Twenty-three years old? Found as a stray child?"
"Yes, twenty-three years old, found as a stray child."
But the Virtuous Consort's expression darkened again, "Over the years, we have searched everywhere, only to return with disappointment each time. I have lost all hope now."
Nangong Nini's heart jolted, "Does that mean, Virtuous Consort, that you indeed have another child?"
"Yes, but he went missing when he was four years old."
Nangong Nini asked, "Could it be my brother? My brother looks just like the person in this portrait, and he has a faint birthmark on his chest, not very noticeable. Behind his ear, there is a distinct black mole, but I'm not sure if he has removed the mole because something happened to his family a couple of years ago, and he was wanted. He might have removed the mole to evade capture."
