Tao Gu Gu decided to quickly answer the question rather than to make the atmosphere tenser because she could hear the urgency on Xiao Fang's weak voice, "It's the Left Prime Minister, of course. Doesn't he only have one son and one daughter all along? It's hard for them to conceive, so they are the only offsprings that they have. The daughter is actually the real princess... the real Han Xiang..."

*Bang*

When she heard the truth, Xiao Fang almost fell off her chair. Luckily, Yao Ling hold onto her tightly just in time. She was flabbergasted and couldn't believe it! No... no... no... in fact, she didn't want to believe it! Was her whole life a lie? Everything was spiralling out of her control. She never knew that she would accidentally find out about her background accidentally like this.

*Thump*

*Thump*

*Thump*

Xiao Fang's heart beat wildly and it kept beating faster because she had a sudden realization of what Tao Gu Gu meant... She... wasn't her parents' real daughter... She was adopted... She was the Ce Fei's daughter... She was Lin Jian's sister... She was the real princess... She was not Xiao Fang all along...

She was supposed to be Han Xiang... She was... she was...

Who was she exactly? She felt like screaming inside her mind!

After getting the awareness of that matter, it seemed like her brain had stopped working and she could feel her surroundings started to get darker and darker. Her surroundings seemed to fade away and she succ.u.mbed to the darkness.

Xiao Fang fainted.

Yao Ling didn't have the strength nor the fast speed to catch her, but luckily, Lin Jian was able to catch her before her body touched the ground. He softly laid her down on the ground while looking at Xiao Fang tenderly. His heart felt so complicated at the moment and he helplessly looked at Xiao Fang. He didn't know what he could do for her.

Tao Gu Gu was quite surprised by what had just transpired. She heard the ruckus and it seemed like Xiao Fang Gu Niang had just fainted and she was confused about the reason. She couldn't help but ask, "What happened? Why did she suddenly faint?! Is she okay?" She felt worried about the young woman.

Yao Ling was quickly trying to hit Xiao Fang's acupuncture point to make her wake up, while Lin Jian was the one who explained to Tao Gu Gu with the truth. "We tried to find out about Xiao Fang's true ident.i.ty before this, after all, we just met a few days ago and we didn't know whether we should trust her or not. We... we got the news that she's actually the daughter of the Left Prime Minister..." Lin Jian explained in a weak voice. He was pretty sure that Tao Gu Gu would understand what he meant.

They would have never guessed this sudden turn of the event could actually happen... Lin Jian just wanted her to know about Han Xiang's real ident.i.ty. That there was a probability that Han Xiang was an impostor. Who knew that it was actually the truth? And also, Xiao Fang actually found out about her ident.i.ty by accident. They were also helpless ah~

"What?" Tao Gu Gu asked in surprise. "This... Xiao Fang is the Ce Fei's real daughter?!" Tao Gu Gu felt amazed by what she ahd just found out. This... this coincidence... how could that be? She could only murmur to herself, "This is certainly fate ah~"

Lin Jian felt his heart become erratic because he was in confusion too. He knew that he felt something different toward Xiao Fang... He started to like her despite her innocence and well... stupidity. Somehow, it made him feel protective over her... Was it... because he like her? Or he actually had a gut feeling from the start that she was actually his sister?

Lin Jian was always a carefree person and he never thought that there would be a day he would be confused with his own feelings. It seemed like he had to put his feeling aside first and he needed to help Xiao Fang get through this matter. He felt guilty... If he listened to Yao Ling's opinion not to let Xiao Fang knew about their conversation with Tao Gu Gu, then all of this would never happen.

He blamed himself.

If he knew the truth was actually like this, he wouldn't let Xiao Fang know the truth, no matter what. He could see from the start how she was loved by everyone in her family and by knowing this truth, she would certainly feel burdened... However, there was nothing they could do. They couldn't turn back time and they could only wait for Xiao Fang to wake up and see her reactions.

"I will bring her along with me... I want her to wake up in a calm environment and I will take care of her for the time being, until she calms down," Yao Ling said. She knew that waking up in Tao Gu Gu's house, it wouldn't do any good to Xiao Fang. She would certainly feel pressured.

Yao Ling already handled her acupuncture point so they could easily move Xiao Fang.

The others agreed with her. Yao Ling asked Xiu to help her take Xiao Fang into her room and it seemed Han Xiang needed to stay asleep for the time being. She didn't want her to run rampage and make another trouble for them. She quickly a.s.signed everyone on their jobs, while she was waiting for Xiao Fang to wake up.

When Xiao Fang woke up, she was in panic. She thought that she was still in Tao Gu Gu's room and she was planning to run away. She didn't know how to face all of those people... she just wanted to be alone and think on her own. However, she found out that she was actually not in Tao Gu Gu's hoise.

She felt relieved when she only saw Yao Ling sitting on the bed side.

She looked at her surroundings and she knew that she was back at the inn. It seemed like she was in Yao Ling's room. Yao Ling offered a cup of water for her and she quickly gulped it down in one go. Yao Ling asked her in concern, "Are you okay?"

Xiao Fang shook her head and answered her, "I don't know..." Truthfully, her mind was in a mumble jumble. She wasn't able to digest the news...

Yao Ling opened her mouth and tried to appease Xiao Fang, "Please listen to me! We are so sorry... We didn't know that this would happen... We would never guess that you are actually..." She trailed off at the last part, not knowing how to breach the subject because she knew that Xiao Fang wasn't ready to handle the truth.

Xiao Fang laughed bitterly and said, "What? That I am actually the Ce Fei's real daughter? An adopted daughter of the Left Prime Minister? That all my life... everything was actually a lie? That I am Lin Jian's sister?" She couldn't help but cry while saying all those things.

Yao Ling sighed. "I know that you aren't ready to face the truth. But, please remember... Not everything is a lie... Your family indeed loves you... Otherwise, why would they protect you and treat you so kindly despite you are unrelated to them by blood? If I actually could turn back time, I wouldn't want you to know the truth..."

"But, it already happened... It's too late..." Xiao Fang covered her face with both of her hands, sobbing. She didn't know how to live her life after this. Could she go back to her own life and pretend that all this never happened? Would she be able to stay in the Left Prime Minister's manor once again? Or should she actually ask them the truth? But... but...

She couldn't help but feel at a loss.
