Chapter 292 The Imperial Envoy Arrives
Shen Wan’s eyes widened in surprise.
Why is there the sound of a gong ringing to clear the way so early in the morning?
Did I hear it wrong, or is it some fox fairy out on patrol?
"It's the imperial envoy." Xie Mubai didn't move, but just let the little woman play with his hair.
He doesn't like others touching his hair.
From the time he was a little older, he no longer needed anyone to comb his hair.
But since the little woman likes it, let her do it.
"How did you know?" Shen Wan looked puzzled.
Without waiting for the villain to answer, she suddenly remembered the white dove that flew across the night sky last night.
How could she forget that he had spies?
"My people notified me." Xie Mubai said calmly, "In fact, you should know that imperial envoy. He is the cousin of the Marquis of Xiangyang."
Cousin of Marquis Xiangyang?
Shen Wan thought seriously for a while, and didn't remember this person being mentioned in the book.
But the original owner's memory was a little vague, and she couldn't remember it for a while.
"You have no recollection at all?" Seeing her strange expression, Xie Mubai suddenly straightened up and felt a pain in his scalp.
How could he forget that his hair was still in someone's hands.
Shen Wan quickly let go of her hand and looked at the villain uneasily: “Should I know him?”
Xie Mubai nodded, and a complicated look flashed across his dark eyes.
It was his negligence.
He thought that since she had the original owner's body, she naturally inherited all her memories.
"His name is Shen Yizhou. He used to come to your house often." He thought for a moment and said, "And there are rumors that he was the one who brought your mother to the Marquis of Xiangyang."
Shen Wan was shocked: "Could he be my father?"
Xie Mubai shook his head.
"Impossible." He said with certainty, "If he were your father, the Marquis of Xiangyang would never dare to do that to you."
“Although Shen Yizhou is not as favored by the dog emperor as the Marquis of Xiangyang, he is still highly regarded by the emperor.”
"Eighteen years ago, the dog emperor suddenly fell seriously ill, and the situation in the court became unstable. The foreign countries took the opportunity to invade the border."
"Although my father advocated war, the situation at that time was not suitable for fighting."
"It was Chen Yizhou who volunteered to be an envoy and broke into the foreign camp alone. With his eloquence, he finally persuaded the foreign troops to withdraw."
"Later, he was assigned to a post outside Beijing, and his visits to Beijing became less frequent."
"But every time he returned to the capital, he would go to the Marquis of Xiangyang's mansion."
After hearing about Shen Yizhou's great achievements, Shen Wan couldn't help but respect and fear him.
Obviously, Shen Yizhou is a powerful character.
But the more you do this, the easier it is for your identity to be exposed.
Seeing the worry in the little woman's eyes, Xie Mubai reached out and held her in his arms.
"Chen Yizhou is a man of integrity. Although he and the Marquis of Xiangyang are cousins, they are not of the same kind." He frowned slightly and consoled her.
"I don't know much about his private affairs with the Marquis of Xiangyang."
"But don't be afraid, I'm here."
"Besides, you are Shen Wan. Even if you don't remember anything, he can't do anything to you."
At this point, Shen Wan could only comfort herself in this way.
Yes, this body originally belonged to the original owner.
Whether it's blood test or some more conventional method of identifying by birthmark, I believe there will be no problem.
While he was daydreaming, Shen Yizhou's convoy had already entered the town in a mighty procession.
When the townspeople saw this, they were so frightened that they fell to their knees.
This was the first time they had seen an imperial envoy on tour in their entire lives.
Black Hawk hesitated for a moment and knelt to one side.
"Why do we have to kneel?" Although Ling Xiaoxiao didn't understand, she knelt down with everyone else.
Black Hawk lowered his voice: "He is the imperial envoy."
Ling Xiaoxiao was still confused.
What happened to the imperial envoy?
I am also the Holy Maiden of Miao!
"It's them!" Suddenly, a sharp and old female voice came from the imperial envoy's team, "Sir, they are the ones who kidnapped my son!"
Upon hearing this voice, Xie Mubai's dark pupils shrank slightly.
That’s right, this old woman is the drunkard’s mother.
When the drunkard saw his mother coming with the soldiers, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately to the middle-aged man in official uniform on the carriage: "Your Excellency, I am innocent!"
"My wife was tricked into doing hard labor by these bullies. I just wanted them to return her to me, but they broke my hand and even took our child away!"
I have to say, this drunkard's acting skills are top-notch.
This burst of crying made Shen Yizhou's sharp eyes even colder.
"Let him go!" His face was gloomy, and his low voice was filled with a strong sense of icy coldness.
After hearing this, Xie Mubai slowly lifted the curtain.
After seeing the stern face behind the curtain, Shen Yizhou was slightly stunned, and then sneered: "I thought who it was, but I didn't expect it to be the prince!"
"By the way, didn't I hear that you were exiled to the Northwest? How come you suddenly appear here?"
Although he had a distant relationship with the Duke of Zhenguo, they both served the Dog Emperor, so they still had contact with each other, and he had also met Xie Mubai several times.
"Your Excellency, the news is too delayed." Xie Mubai smiled slightly, his cold voice without a trace of emotion. "Hasn't your Excellency heard that the Emperor has pardoned our Xie family from exile?"
Shen Yizhou smiled coldly, his dark eyes flashing with a cold light: “I’ve heard of it, but don’t you still have to go to the Northwest?”
"By the way, where's my niece?"
"I heard that Yan'er disregarded her reputation and traveled thousands of miles to find you, but you drove her away. Now the one staying with you is actually my other niece!"
"Honestly, why are you picking on our Shen family?"
"There are so many girls in the world, why do you choose to pick on the troublemakers of our Shen family?"
He really dislikes Xie Mubai.
Once when he was drunk, he joked that he didn't know which girl would be so unlucky as to marry such a sickly man in the future.
He never imagined that both of his nieces had an ambiguous relationship with him!
They had all been named, and Shen Wan had to come out from behind the villain.
She glanced at Xie Mubai, then got out of the car with gritted teeth.
No matter what, Chen Yizhou is the elder of the original owner, and the two have no grudges against each other.
"Hello, uncle." Shen Wan straightened her clothes and then stepped forward and bowed.
When they heard the woman calling the imperial envoy "uncle", the drunkard mother and son were so scared that they almost peed the floor.
how so?
Have you filed a complaint in front of the other person's uncle?
It’s over, it’s completely over this time!
Shen Yizhou looked at Shen Wan seriously for a while, as if he was looking for the shadow of another person through this face.
After a long moment, he sighed softly, "Wan'er, you are a lady from a wealthy family, how could you be involved with your sister's fiancé?"
"If you still recognize me as your uncle, break off all ties with him immediately and come home with me."
"With me here, your father won't dare say anything to you."
Shen Wan shook her head.
"Why?" Seeing her refuse, Shen Yizhou's face suddenly changed, "Your father is a bit strict with you, but he is really good to you."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wan couldn’t help but laugh: “Not bad?”
"It seems that my uncle still doesn't know that my stepmother allowed Shen Yan to poison me."
Shen Yizhou frowned slightly: “Your father wrote me a letter and explained this matter.”
"Aruo is from Medicine King Valley. If she had intended to harm you, you wouldn't be alive today."
This question was also what Shen Wan was puzzled about.
Given the personalities of the Marquis of Xiangyang and his wife, they would definitely not adopt me for no reason. Could it be that there was also a reason for Shen Yizhou?
But Chen Yizhou is not the original owner's biological father, so where is the original owner's irresponsible father now?
