The man had only one son, who passed away early, leaving him childless. But some knew the inside story; back then, the man's son fell in love with another woman, eloped, but later died of illness.
So they speculated that Ye Nianzu was the bloodline left behind by the man's son.
Hao Yansen believed this claim and went directly to verify with the man, and indeed, he received this truth.
The following matters were easy to handle; a DNA test would reveal who the real Ye Fengyi was.
The reason the man was deceived by the Ye Family was that after his son eloped, Ye Gumming's sister disappeared entirely. She hid away, seeing no one.
However, after her husband died, she was deeply affected and her health deteriorated.
Before her death, she secretly returned to the Ye Family with her child and happened by chance to meet Yan Ji, who learned of her situation and planned to help heal her.
