Chapter 164 Abnormal
"Father, do you know Young Master Pei who just came?"
Ye Wan came out after changing her clothes.
After eating hot pot, Ye Wan felt that her clothes still smelled of it, and she felt uncomfortable if she didn't change them.
“He is Prime Minister Pei’s third son.” The old man coughed as he took a bite of the pear.
As people get older, they have to eat cold things slowly, unlike young people who can finish them in two or three bites.
Pei Zhong is a smart man, but his son is rather naive.
"The Prime Minister's third son, huh? No wonder he exudes an air of nobility. He's here to see you, isn't he?" Ye Wan smiled and sat down next to the coughing old man.
Last year, Ye Wan learned about her adoptive father's true identity: a renowned scholar. She was incredibly lucky to become the daughter of such a scholar.
The old man coughed awkwardly as he mentioned his disguise to Ye Wan, "It shouldn't be. I just happened to run into her, and she probably recognized me."
"Won't that cause trouble?" Ye Wan took two chestnuts and placed them by the fire pit to test them.
The old man thought for a moment, "Probably not, after all, what your mother said just now scared them away."
"Haha, if that's the case, I have to thank Mother." Ye Wan couldn't help but laugh when she thought of Pei Zhichuan's constipated face.
He was afraid that if he ran too slowly, he would be left behind as a live-in son-in-law.
Ye Wan likes things that look nice, but she doesn't like this kind of stuffy stuff.
When Aunt Cai came in, she saw that Ye Wan was wearing her old clothes again. "I made you new clothes, why aren't you wearing them? Clothes are meant to be worn. I can't stand seeing you wearing tattered clothes every day."
Ye Wan quickly waved her hand, "Mother, I don't want to wear new clothes with such a dark face. I'm just trying to avoid trouble."
What woman doesn't love beauty and wearing pretty clothes? This world is too chaotic; it's best to avoid trouble if possible.
She didn't want to attract attention and then be snatched away as a concubine.
"I can never win an argument with you," said Aunt Cai, sitting down next to Ye Wan and looking at her with loving eyes.
"Did Pei San leave just now? If he didn't, think about it. You like pretty things, right? This one is good."
Ye Wan had just peeled a chestnut out when she almost burned her hand. "They should be leaving now."
Pei San didn't leave.
He stood still under the watchful eyes of the villagers who were watching the monkey.
In the winter, when everyone had nothing to do, they came out to bask in the sun and chat. Unexpectedly, they saw such handsome and noble men. They couldn't get enough of looking at them and followed Pei Zhichuan to see them.
"Excuse me... ma'am, who is the teacher at the village school?"
Pei Zhichuan asked a kind-looking old woman.
"Oh dear, the handsome young man spoke to me first!" Aunt Wang slapped her thigh. "See? I knew that if this young man had any questions, he would definitely come to me first!"
"Sister-in-law Wang, are you any different from others? Why did they choose you?"
"That goes without saying, I'm the one who can tell."
Pei Zhichuan:......
Suddenly I didn't want to ask anymore.
Seeing that the person had left, Aunt Wang hurriedly called out, "Hey, don't go! I'll tell you now, the teacher you asked about, his surname is..."
He was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly forgot the old man's name. "What's his surname again? Do you know?"
Sister Liu: "Ye Wan's father must have the surname Ye, right? Ye what?!"
Aunt Wang said, "Old Liu's family, did you forget to bring your brain out of the house? That's not her biological father. Her biological parents died a long time ago, so how could she have the surname Ye?"
After looking around and finding no one who knew, Aunt Wang was a little embarrassed. "This... I really don't know. Young master, why don't you ask someone else?"
Pei Zhichuan frowned. "You just said that those two aren't Lady Ye's biological parents?"
"Yes, they aren't my biological parents, they're my godparents,"
Aunt Wang thought to herself, "My goodness, such a handsome man, even his frown is handsome. He must be a god descended to earth."
Pei Zhichuan suppressed his discomfort and asked, "Who is this Lady Ye? You all seem to listen to her."
"Madam Ye, she is the benefactor of our entire village..."
The group talked at once, recounting everything about Ye Wan, including how Lin Anyuan bought her.
Sister-in-law Liu interjected, "Young master, are you going to ask anything else?"
Pei Zhichuan didn't reply and quickened his pace.
The people following behind made Pei Zhichuan feel a little uneasy.
Why are the people in this village so abnormal, just like that dark-faced Lady Ye?
Upon reaching the village entrance, Officer Li, who was guarding the entrance, shouted loudly, "Young master, remember to come again next time!"
A lucky charm who gives money every time he comes in—we should come back more often!
"Young master, why did you take so long to go in? Are you alright?"
Afu, the attendant sitting in the carriage at the village entrance, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Pei Zhichuan emerge safely.
Although a bodyguard followed him inside, he was still worried.
Pei Zhichuan boarded the carriage, and Afu immediately brewed tea and then took out a bag of dry rations.
"Young master, there is still some dry food here. Please have a bite to eat first."
Young master hasn't eaten all day, he must be hungry.
“No need, I’ve already eaten in the village.” Pei Zhichuan said, picking up his teacup, taking a sip, and then frowning.
The tea that I thought was pretty good before is now really hard to drink.
"What kind of tea is this?"
"Young master, is your favorite Longjing tea cold?" Afu hurriedly touched the teapot, but it wasn't cold at all.
It tastes just like before!
Pei Zhichuan put down his teacup, having lost his appetite for tea.
"Afu, do you think there are people in the world who look exactly alike? Exactly the same, but with completely opposite personalities?"
Fang Daru and his wife look exactly the same as they did more than ten years ago, but their personalities are completely different. This is too unbelievable.
"Anyway, I've never seen two people who look exactly alike, unless they're twins. Even twins can't be exactly the same. But as for personality, it can change over time."
Pei Zhichuan nodded.
He will definitely find out whether or not he is Fang Daru.
And that Ye Wan is quite something.
...
...
Lin Anyuan, who was far away in Ganzhou, also felt that the new favorite of the Prince of Jing was not simple.
This new lady has only been back for a few days, but King Jing already has the idea of dismissing all the concubines in the harem.
However, this was stopped by the new lady.
To his surprise, the new lady actually gave him quite a few things.
Is this an attempt to win him over?
Before Lin Anyuan could figure out the new wife's purpose, the eldest son came to find him.
They immediately started drinking with me, and once I got drunk, I started crying loudly.
“My mother died young. Compared to my second, third, and fourth brothers, and other brothers, I never had a mother to love me growing up. My life has been miserable enough. Now, a new lady has come. Judging from my father's expression, he wants to marry her as his queen. If she gives birth to a legitimate son, will my father still have a place for me as the eldest son in his heart…”
Lin Anyuan: ...
This person is somewhat abnormal.
