Chapter 377 You've Got the Wrong Person
"Young man, you've got the wrong person." The old man's face was sullen, and his voice was cold without a trace of warmth. "Please make way, we have things to do."
Listening to that cold voice, Xie Mubai felt as if his heart was wrapped in ice and falling straight into an endless abyss.
how so?
But looking at the old man's expression, he really didn't seem to recognize himself.
But Xie Mubai was very sure that the foreign merchant in front of him was indeed his biological father!
As a son, how could he possibly admit that his biological father was wrong?
The eyebrows, the eyes, even the shallow scar on the forehead are exactly the same.
"You really don't remember anything?" Xie Mubai took a deep breath, tears flickering in his eyes.
What exactly happened at Yumen Pass? Why didn’t my father even recognize himself?
Although the Duke of Zhenguo favored Concubine Zhou, he still attached great importance to his legitimate son.
Since childhood, he has always trained this legitimate son as the future heir of the Duke's Mansion.
No matter how Concubine Zhou tried to persuade him, the Duke of Zhenguo never thought of appointing another prince, and even handed over all the forces he had planted in various places in his early years to him.
Seeing the tears welling up in his eyes, the old man couldn't help but frown slightly.
He didn't know why, but he felt reluctant to see the young man crying.
Seeing this, the young widow took his arm and said coquettishly, "Master, ignore him, he must be a liar!"
"Look at his poor appearance, you can tell at once that he is not a good person."
The old man's body stiffened and he subconsciously tried to push her away.
But the young widow clung to him like a beautiful snake and refused to let go no matter what.
That’s right, how could she let go?
Although this man is a bit old, he has money.
Even being a concubine is much better than marrying those poor guys in the countryside and becoming their wife.
At this time, Shen Wan also came to Xie Mubai.
When she heard this, she couldn't help but sneered: "Really?"
"We are poor, but even if we were poor, we would never think of climbing into a strange man's bed!"
Although she was not sure whether the old man in front of her was the Duke of Zhenguo, she believed that any normal man would not be able to accept such an unfaithful woman.
Sure enough, the old man's expression changed immediately.
He had a gloomy face and looked at the young widow coldly.
"She's talking nonsense!" The young widow said hurriedly, her eyes a little flustered. "I don't even know her!"
"Husband, let's go quickly. We must not delay the things that Eldest Sister has instructed us to do."
When he heard the word "elder sister", the old man's face became even uglier.
"You've got the wrong person. I'm a foreigner, and this is my first time in Wei." He thought for a moment, then looked at Xie Mubai coldly. "I have something important to attend to, so I hope you two can make way for me."
Xie Mubai wanted to say something, but was stopped by Shen Wan.
She smiled and looked at the old man: "Excuse me, uncle, you look so much like an old friend of ours."
Not to mention that they were not sure whether this old man was the Duke of Zhenguo, even if they were sure, they would not be able to recognize him.
How to recognize?
If the dog emperor and his son knew that he was not dead, they would definitely torture him to death for treason.
Shen Wan smiled as she pulled the villain to the side of the road.
After hearing this, the old man couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
Strangely, this girl actually looks quite familiar.
At this time, Wang Qi and others also chased over from the post station.
As soon as they saw the old man, everyone's expression suddenly changed.
Li's eyes turned red.
Just as she was about to step forward, she was grabbed by Hu Dahai.
The old man didn't even look at them again and ordered the driver to continue on.
Looking at the convoy gradually moving away, Xie Mubai felt heartbroken.
He thought for a moment and smiled sadly: "Wan'er, let's go. I'm sure I got the wrong person."
Shen Wan nodded, and then helped him back to the post station.
As soon as he entered the door, Feng Er immediately closed the half-worn wooden door tightly.
"That man is my father-in-law, right?" Li widened her eyes and looked at Xie Mubai with horror.
Since the third brother can fake his death, then the father-in-law can naturally do it too.
Xie Mubai shook his head slightly, a bitter smile appearing on his pale face.
"No." He smiled bitterly, "I'm just overthinking it."
"Dad died on the battlefield. He will never come back."
"Even if he is really alive, how could he possibly get to Lanyang City?"
After hearing this, Li couldn't help but look disappointed.
Feng Er secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
That’s right.
Lanyang City is the territory of the Third Prince. If the Duke of Zhenguo is really alive, he will never be so foolish as to come here and fall into a trap.
However, that person really looks like the Duke of Zhenguo.
Apart from the different clothes and relatively whiter skin, there is not much difference.
"You must be too tired recently, so you're overthinking it." Hu Dahai glanced at Feng Er calmly and said deliberately, "The fact that the merchant took a young widow as a concubine is enough to rule out his identity."
After hearing this, the people who were originally a little skeptical became even more certain that they had recognized the wrong person.
Although the Duke of Zhenguo is a rough man, his aesthetic taste is still online.
Although Aunt Zhou has bad behavior, she is still very beautiful.
Especially her fragile and graceful appearance is even more captivating.
And that unfaithful young widow was at best just a whiter sow.
No matter how blind the Duke of Zhenguo is, there is no way he would fall for such a person.
"Brother Hu is right." Shen Wan said with a smile, "It's getting late, let's figure out what to eat for lunch."
As soon as they heard about eating, Da Niu and Er Bao immediately became happy.
“I want to eat dumplings!”
"I want wontons!"
Looking at their cute appearance, Shen Wan smiled and said, “Okay, then let’s all eat!”
For her, there is not much difference between making wontons and making dumplings.
Anyway, there are so many people, so it’s still fast if we work together.
Looking at everyone talking and laughing downstairs, Xie Murong couldn't tell what he felt.
Not long ago, I was clearly one of them.
But now, she could only stand quietly upstairs and watch them talking and laughing.
She knew clearly that she would never be able to fit into this circle again.
At this moment, the old man was sitting by the stove in the inn, looking at the young widow coldly: "Who are you?"
He no longer remembers clearly what happened in the past.
He just felt like he had slept for a long time, and when he woke up again, a beautiful middle-aged woman was lying naked beside him.
She said he was a foreign merchant and she was his legal wife.
The wife of the main house had a sullen face all day long and seemed unwilling to have much contact with him.
Some time ago, she even stuffed a beautiful concubine into his bed.
They are obviously a family, so why is the relationship between the couple so indifferent, so indifferent that they are like strangers?
