The person in the painting is Xiao Lan's father!

Mrs. Xiao hurriedly stood up and hugged Xiao Lan, "Lan'er, everything is over, cry if you want to!"

Feeling the mother-like aura on Mrs. Xiao's body, Xiao Lan couldn't control it anymore and cried whining.

Mrs. Xiao didn't dissuade her, she just kept caressing Xiao Lan's back, this child is so pitiful!

After touching a cup of tea, Xiao Lan gradually stopped crying, looked at Mrs. Xiao and said a little embarrassedly: "Let my aunt smile, I don't know where this portrait of my aunt came from?"

Mrs. Xiao didn't answer, but took out a few more scrolls from the box and opened them for Xiao Lan to see, Xiao Lan recognized them at a glance, these were the portraits of the previous heads of the Xiao family, and the original ancestral hall of her family was hung with the portraits of these ancestors, and she was even more shocked in her heart.

It wasn't until Mrs. Xiao took out another family tree that Xiao Lan flipped through it, and the shock in her heart was even more incomprehensible, this is the family tree of their Xiao family! Looking up at Mrs. Xiao, her eyes were full of doubts.

Mrs. Xiao smiled and straightened Xiao Lan's sideburns, and said slowly: " Lan'er, our Xiao family and your Xiao family are originally of the same clan, the ancestors of the Xiao family were in power in the Great Zhou Dynasty at that time, but they knew that prosperity must decline, so they let a son change his surname to Xiao and hide in other countries, so that in case of any disasters in the future, he can keep a bloodline for the Xiao family, this is the origin of our Qinglian Xiao family, the successive heads of the Xiao family will pass on this matter by word of mouth, and will send a portrait and family tree to our Xiao family, so that the descendants of the Xiao family will not forget the roots. ”

Seeing those portraits and genealogies just now, Xiao Lan understood most of them in her heart, and now when she heard Mrs. Xiao say this, she completely understands that she still has relatives alive, and she also feels a warmth in her heart.

"I was a little curious about your background from Ying'er's letter, and when I saw you today, I was most sure that your eyes were too similar to your father's, and from the way you saw the portrait, I understood that I didn't recognize the wrong person. Mrs. Xiao said, and she couldn't help but feel a little in her heart: "Originally, our lineage was to continue the bloodline of the Xiao family, but I didn't expect that no boy was born in our generation, and it can be regarded as a shame for our ancestors!"

"Aunt don't have to worry about this, this is all providence, I think Sister Xiao is good, she must know how to honor her aunt than a boy, and said bloodline, I also have a younger brother who was exiled to the far north at that time, but the four princes have helped me find no news for a long time, and I don't know whether it is life or death. Xiao Lan couldn't help but feel a little gloomy.

"We live well, as you said, this is all providence, as long as we do our best to do what we can do there will be no regrets. Mrs. Xiao hurriedly comforted: "You and I are also in love, if you don't dislike it, it's okay to recognize me as a stepmother?"

"Thank you aunt for taking me in, I'm homeless, and now I can be regarded as a family person!" Xiao Lan also smiled.

"It's still called Auntie!" said Madame Xiao with a feigned anger.

"Mother-in-law!" Xiao Lan hurriedly changed her words.

"Good daughter! In the past, they all said that I was not blessed and could not give birth to a son, but you see that I now have another daughter, and this blessing cannot be asked for by others!" Mrs. Xiao smiled even more happily, "I can't count on Ying'er's stinky girl, Lan'er will marry from here in the future, and let the stepmother prepare for you to have a good time!"

Xiao Lan has a black line, but her heart is warm. The two of them also talked about how not to raid their homes at that time, how their parents and brothers died tragically, how they entered a brothel, and how they were ransomed.
