Chapter 256: The Identity of San Shu Gong

Bai Ge continued, “Your third uncle beat your father and wanted to settle the score. The whole thing got completely out of hand. Your father, taking advantage of the situation, even pretended it was all on purpose, deliberately provoking your third uncle…”

Bai Ge hesitated, carefully weaving this story.

All for Song Yinyin to behave herself.

“And then what happened?”

“…Then, in a fit of anger, your third uncle forced me—on a rainy night!”

Song Yinyin remained silent.

Bai Ge smiled. “But back then… he was actually very kind to me and didn’t hurt me. I was also afraid your father would find out, so I didn’t tell anyone. Later, your third uncle deeply regretted what he’d done, but since it was already too late, there was nothing I could do about it. I’ve always felt guilty toward him.”

“So Father never knew about any of this?”

“He didn’t. In fact, your father has always been very good to us. But when I got married, I was already pregnant with you!”

Bai Ge’s whole point was to get to this very moment.

Song Yinyin was stunned: “Could it be that I’m San Shu Gong’s daughter?”

“I can’t say for sure, after all, your father…”

Bai Ge paused for a moment. “But your third uncle is absolutely certain that you’re his daughter.”

Song Yinyin looked at Bai Ge. “Mom, have you ever checked?”

Bai Ge shook her head. “No.”

“Then the timing…”

“About a day or two off.”

“So there’s still a chance?”

“According to your third uncle, you definitely are. He even said he’d secretly leave all his wealth to you in the future. But I never bothered to verify it. While your father was still alive, I always felt bad about disappointing him. When your third uncle brought it up once, I didn’t dare press further, and after that, he stopped contacting me altogether.”

Bai Ge studied Song Yinyin and saw that her daughter showed no sign of doubt, which put her much more at ease.

In fact, Song Yinyin even felt a little secretly pleased.

So everything that Song Yingtang had arranged was truly for her own good.

Especially since all of Song Yingtang’s estate would eventually go to her.

Song Yinyin suddenly asked, “Mom, does Third Uncle not have any children?”

“No, he deliberately chose not to have any. His wife always wanted kids, but he refused—right because of you. He has two adopted sons, both taken in as foster children, and now his wife can no longer bear children either.”

“Mom, did Third Uncle do all this because of me?”

“Yes.”

Bai Ge hadn’t expected that Song Yingtang’s two sons were both adopted.

She’d only just found out about it herself.

Bai Ge also hadn’t imagined that Song Yingtang would go to such lengths.

Still, for mother and daughter, this was a good thing—something to celebrate.

Song Yinyin quickly asked, “Mom, is Third Uncle really rich?”

“Not extremely wealthy—just a few tens of millions, maybe.”
