Melody of Golden Age Episode 28

I am wondering....

I am very relieved that Shen Du and his senior brother, Mo Qianzhi, could find common ground in the end. I'm also relieved that Yan Xing finally revealed her secret mission of spying on General Mo to Shen Du. At least that’s not standing in their way anymore! I loved how Shen Du reacted to General Mo's only condition for the peace talks; I wouldn't have expected any other answer from him.

However, I’m left wondering...
A few episodes ago, Yan Xing asked Shen Du what he would do if she and someone from his kin (meaning his brother) stood on opposite sides. Shen Du’s answer was simply that she was also his kin—no further explanation. I believe that if there were no other way, he would clearly choose Yan Xing.

But what if the roles were reversed? If Shen Du stood on the opposite side of Yan Xing's kin, which side would she choose? I’m wondering this because of the letter written by Shen Du's father, which may have been forged by Yan Xing’s father. Even though Shen Du decided it wasn't him back then, what if it was after all? That would be a heart-shattering turn of events for everyone.
