Bai Qingyan turned her head to look at Wei Zhong.
Seeing Bai Qingyan's interest, Wei Zhong continued, "This old servant heard... Minister Sima made some foolish decisions when he was younger, indulging in the pleasures of the world. Later, he fell seriously ill, and the Imperial Physician said he could no longer have children, so he adopted a child from the clan... The child's father had passed away early, and the mother was about to remarry to return to her maiden home."
Sima Ruodan wiped her tears with her sleeve, bowing her head in shame.
"Who knew, six years later, Madam Sima got pregnant and gave birth to the Imperial Censor, so the Imperial Censor should be the second child in the family," Wei Zhong glanced at Sima Ruodan and chuckled.
Bai Qingyan looked at Bai Qingqi and saw that Bai Qingqi was lowering his gaze, as if he had already investigated the matter thoroughly.
"Chun Zhi, help Miss Sima up..." Bai Qingyan smiled at Sima Ruodan, "Sit down so we can talk slowly."
