Chapter 199 He was wrong
Watch him walk towards me step by step.
Xie Changning seemed to see Pei Zhi when he was young.
Pei Zhi came from a poor family, and when he was young, he was like him, often wearing robes that were washed white.
His whole demeanor and features are exactly like Pei Zhi of the past.
Looking at him, Xie Changning couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Mother Du's eyes suddenly widened, and she stared at Shen Yubai intently.
Oh my god!
Is he sure he is a member of the Shen family?
Why does he look like Lord Pei’s son?
Or, the kind of biological one!!!
If the two of them walked on the street, others would know their relationship at a glance.
The kind that can't be stolen no matter what.
Isn’t Lord Pei not married?
How did a child this big suddenly appear? !
This is too scary.
Could it be that Lord Pei is a heartless man who has betrayed some woman? However, I have never heard of any gossip about Lord Pei.
"How old are you this year? Have you always lived in Yueyang?" Xie Changning's expression soon returned to normal.
Shen Yubai answered them one by one with a bow. He looked calm and composed, without any sign of uneasiness.
Hearing his words, Mother Du couldn't help but frown.
Just ask what kind of fate is this?
This Shen Yubai was actually the same age as her eldest son.
A child who looks like Pei Zhi but is the same age as their eldest son.
Mother Du couldn't help but ask, "I wonder what month the young master was born?"
I only heard Shen Yubai say: "To answer my mother, I was born in the twelfth month."
Xie Changning's heart moved slightly.
The first time she saw Chen Yubai, she felt a sense of closeness for no reason. Could it be because he looked like Pei Zhi?
She looked towards Chen Yubai's right wrist for some unknown reason.
This is a habit she has developed these days.
Whenever she saw someone around her son's age, she couldn't help herself.
Unfortunately, I can’t see anything.
At this time, Butler Zhao also realized it belatedly, and he said that Chen Yubai looked a little familiar, and it turned out that he looked like Lord Pei.
Mother Du followed Xie Changning's gaze and instantly understood what she was thinking.
She thought to herself, if only Chen Yubai was her eldest son...
According to Wu, all civil and military officials are possible.
Why couldn't that person be Lord Pei?
If it really is Master Pei, then everyone will be happy...
Of course, it's also possible that she was talking in her sleep.
Xie Changning asked Shen Yubai some more questions. Once she reported to the emperor, the imperial decree to inherit the title would surely come down soon.
She always had to find out Shen Yubai's identity and must not have any doubts.
Shen Yubai's answer was clear and logical, and coupled with the family clan name, it was clear that he was indeed a descendant of the Shen family.
It takes at least half a month to get from Yueyang to Kyoto.
It was still unknown when the news would be passed back to Yueyang. In any case, Chen Yubai would not have had time to participate in this assessment.
It was such a coincidence that Shen Yubai had only one father in his family, who had just passed away two months ago. He returned to Beijing this time for the purpose of taking the imperial examination next year.
Why did he come so early?
It's because he is short of money. If he waits until next year, the little money he has on him may not even be enough for the journey.
He thought that there were many opportunities in Kyoto and finding a job should not be difficult.
Just today, he had just arrived in Kyoto and happened to hear about the events at the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion.
This is what they call "it is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early."
He's actually just here to make up the numbers!
What if he is lucky and is selected?
I didn't expect that he would be selected.
Even Shen Yubai couldn't help but sigh, what kind of shit luck did he have?
He originally went to Beijing to take the imperial examination and find a job for himself.
He accidentally inherited the title of Marquis of Jing'an...
Knowing that he was short of money, Xie Changning asked Mother Du to temporarily place him in the mansion. The important thing was that she had to find out Shen Yubai's life experience.
Otherwise, with such a face, who knows what kind of trouble he would get into.
Chen Yubai didn't think much about it. He had very little money left and was afraid that he couldn't even afford to stay in the worst inn. What he lacked most now was a place to stay.
Shen Yubai left.
Xie Changning immediately wrote a letter to Pei Zhi and asked someone to deliver it to Pei Zhi.
Today, Ye Zhonglin was not at home. He knew that Xie Changning liked to eat the osmanthus cake from Ruyizhai, so he took people out after breakfast, saying that he was going to buy osmanthus cake for Xie Changning.
Xie Changning knew clearly in his heart that buying her osmanthus cake was just a pretense.
He messed up the task assigned to him by the eldest princess, so naturally the eldest princess wanted to hold him accountable.
She had already sent Xie Nan to secretly keep an eye on Ye Zhonglin.
Everything has been arranged in Rongyang, and the eldest princess's good days are about to end.
Ever since Qi Zhengye got involved with Xie Changning, Pei Zhi sent people to secretly keep an eye on the prince. It wasn't because he was mean-spirited, but because he had to make sure nothing went wrong.
Concubine Qi's meaning was too obvious.
He has reminded the prince more than once.
The prince always agreed verbally and looked like he was willing to learn.
But the prince has become increasingly impatient recently, and he is afraid that the prince will do something.
He had not received Xie Changning's letter yet, and the people he sent to keep an eye on the prince suddenly came in a hurry, and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
Could it be that... the prince really did something?
The guard whispered something in his ear, and his hand holding the brush suddenly tightened.
With a snap, the brush in his hand broke into two pieces.
One of the pieces fell on the table, and the other was held tightly in his hand. The broken brush pierced his palm, and traces of blood flowed out from between his fingers.
Drops falling on the snow-white rice paper look like plum blossoms in full bloom, gorgeous and dazzling!
Pei Zhi's hands kept shaking, and his deep eyes were covered with a layer of gloom.
Suddenly he smiled.
Even laughed out loud.
But the smile did not reach his eyes. His face was cold and he slowly closed his eyes.
The prince finally disappointed him.
This disappointment is different from the last disappointment.
It's a complete disappointment...
He had always thought that the Crown Prince was different from His Majesty and the Fourth Prince.
Today I know that he was wrong, and extremely wrong!
