Qiao Yaoran knew they might not speak up, so he took the initiative, "This matter is somewhat related to Xiao Yeli."
"Xiao Yeli?" Dongfang Ling was confused.
Qiao Yaoran explained, "Actually, Xiao Yeli's real identity is that of a person from the neighboring country."
Upon hearing this, even Bai Qingzhu was surprised.
"What did you say? Why would he be from the neighboring country, and the more I listen, the less I understand?"
Qiao Yaoran continued, "I found out unintentionally. Originally, he was just an abandoned baby in the orphanage, chosen by the Xiao Family and thus entered their household. But a few years later, someone from the neighboring country contacted him, and that's when I learned that he was actually the illegitimate child of some family there, discarded here due to his status."
Bai Qingzhu looked at Xiao Lijin, "Did you know all of this?"
"I did."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"You understand why."
