"What a peculiar question to ask." Duchess Wang Qixing lightly laughed, covering her mouth. "I love both of them."

He was stepping on eggshells for having the guts to bring up a question relating to Li Minghua. Even after all these years, he knew, his mother had never moved on. And he couldn't blame her. Li Minghua was her first and only daughter, but instead of living a life of luxury, she was trapped at home—her beauty hidden from the world.
Duchess Wang Qixing's smile slipped a bit, her brows kneading upwards. "Why… do you ask?"
"If…" Li Chenyang swallowed, nervous of his next statement. "If there is a possibility that—"
"Chenyang."
Li Chenyang shot out of his seat at the sight of his exhausted father. Duke Li Shenyang stood by the door of his shared bedroom, a disapproving frown on his face.
I realized there was some confusion in the previous chapters. Just to clarify!
For Chapter 122, Xueyue didn't give the topaz to Yu Zhen. Also, Xueyue always knew she wasn't Viscount Bai Sheng's birth daughter >_<.
I realized this was the most confusing part because I had dropped hints of it in the beginning of the story, but then forgot about the hint, and then dropped contradictory ones. I hope it makes more sense now! I'm sorry for the confusion D:
(P.S. For some reason, the author note always have ... after the end of each paragraph/sentence. It's usually not intentional and an app bug T_T)
