1338 You Gave Me Courage
“Alright, let’s get down to business.” Su Yanyun tidied her hair.
She really could not understand why both Rong Linyi and An Mingchen liked to rub her head.
It was as if she were a small animal.
“The family seal is indeed important.”
An Mingchen said slowly, “Although the An family’s power is rooted in the dynasty, it rose with the era of navigation. The relationship between the branches and the main branch is not as simple as that of the Rong family. In the An family, there are a few branches that are comparable to the main branch. As time passes, the restrictions between the branches and the main branch became weaker and weaker. The family seal is the greatest tool of restriction.”
“With the seal, all branches must listen to the main branch.” Su Yanyun asked, “But if the other party really wants to cheat, it won’t help, right?”

“It’s not that simple.” An Mingchen smiled. “The best outcome of a country and a family’s stability is that what is stipulated in the law is binding even after a hundred years. The contract signed back then stipulates that the legal owner of the seal can mobilize all the resources in the family.”
Su Yanyun’s heart skipped a beat. “Then, could it be…”
“Grandfather’s last will clearly specified that you are the legal owner of the seal.” An Mingchen looked straight into Su Yanyun’s eyes.
Su Yanyun suppressed her racing heart. “But I don’t know where the seal is. I don’t even remember still having the seal.”
An Mingchen nodded slightly and ignored Su Yanyun’s words. “If you die, then according to the inheritance law, the seal should be inherited by… Mom, and then by me.”
For a moment, the room was very quiet.
After an unknown period of time, Su Yanyun muttered softly, “Then Auntie… is no longer a suspect…”
“How could there not be?” An Mingchen’s expression turned slightly cold. “You forgot that you wanted to give the seal to her and make her the head of the family. If you hadn’t been bewitched by her, I wouldn’t have wanted to take you away, nor would I…”
That heavy subject again.
Although she couldn’t remember the past, Su Yanyun felt a weight on her heart.
“Brother…” Su Yanyun bit her lip. “Do you… want the seal?”
An Mingchen was stunned. Compared to Su Yanyun’s question, that title made him more concerned.
Looking at Su Yanyun’s careful probing, An Mingchen felt that his heart had never been so soft.
“I don’t want it,” he replied softly to Su Yanyun. “Without the seal, I can still win everything I want. Perhaps some people value power so much, but to me, you are more important.”
An Mingchen’s gaze became distant…
“Zhengzheng, I remember the first time I saw you. You were so small and soft, wrapped in infant clothes. Mom told me this was my sister. I won’t be alone anymore… not a… lonely bastard…”
Su Yanyun’s heart trembled.
As if some distant memory had been triggered.
An Mingchen held her hand. “Zhengzheng, I was also very weak at that time. Although I was An Qingrou’s son and my mother was strong and capable, I was ostracized by the other children in the family because of my background. Before you, I was the target of everyone’s ostracization and bullying.”
“But you’ve came, Zhengzheng and I became a brother. I can’t be weak anymore.” He stared at her intently. “You’ve given me the courage to protect you and to strengthen myself at the same time. Zhengzheng, even if everyone else ostracizes us, we’re still family. You and your brother will always be together.”
