The rich and powerful people in the capital are all related, and perhaps one of their families happens to be related to the Duke of England by marriage.
Although the Duke of Ying was exterminated, many families who were related to the Duke of Ying divorced their wives and sent them back to the Duke's Mansion to avoid their families being implicated. Usually, the divorced women would leave willingly.
They could die with the Duke's Mansion, but they did not want their husband's family and children to be implicated and die with them.
However, when she took a quick glance just now and her eyes swept across the backs of that group of people, the back of the child in the middle really looked a bit like her younger brother.
"I took a quick glance and thought they looked very similar." Yang Dashan thought about it carefully and felt that the child looked similar, but his clothes and aura were completely different.
Su Yin stared at the direction the team left and murmured, "Maybe it's the child of some powerful family in Shangjing City."
Could it be such a coincidence?
Now Su Yin had a big question mark about the word "coincidence".
It was really a coincidence that happened to their family, but in the end it was not a coincidence.
Now she doesn't believe in coincidences at all.
Yang Dashan didn't know what Su Yin was thinking, so he sighed to himself, "Oh, I don't know how your brother and the others are doing."
In fact, in many people's minds, Su Xinyang and Su Xinguang are already dead, but no one dares to say it.
After separating from Yang Dashan, Su Yin turned in another direction and headed straight for Zijin Tavern, preparing to get a few bottles of wine to take back and try her luck to see if she could run into Heng Youyi.
As soon as we arrived at the tavern, the owner came forward to greet us warmly.
"Miss Su, you are here. What kind of wine would you like today?"
"Two jars of fruit wine, and two jars of sake."
"Okay, I'll have my servant deliver it to your house later."
Su Yin put down the money, and the shopkeeper retreated directly, "The boss said that you don't have to pay when you come to our restaurant in the future. Everything will be put on the boss's account."
The boss had specifically instructed him before, so how could he dare not disobey?
“How can this be possible?”
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Why don't you talk to the boss?"
"She's in the shop?"
"Yes, it's in the backyard. I'll take you there."
Su Yin waved her hand, "No, no, I'll go there by myself. Shopkeeper, just do your thing, no need to call me."
In the backyard, Heng Youyi was sitting under a grape vine tree checking the account book. In front of her were glasses of wine. Xiaoxiang was tasting the wine beside her, while Xiaocui was taking notes. The master and his servants were all busy with their own things.
"Everyone is busy."
As soon as Su Yin spoke, the master, servant and three others all looked over.
As soon as Heng Youyi saw Su Yin, he hurriedly called her over.
"Would you like to try some of these fruit wines?"
Su Yin waved her hands, "No, no. Just now when we settled the bill, your shopkeeper refused to accept it. You are not afraid of losing money by doing business like this."
Heng Youyi smiled and said, "The food you have is not even as good as a drop in the bucket to feed a dog."
The word "dog" has a hidden meaning. Su Yin is smart and naturally understands it. She doesn't think it is an insult to her.
"Your dog is such a spendthrift. Kill it and eat its meat as soon as possible."
Heng Youyi touched her belly and said with a smile, "It's almost there."
Noticing her actions, Su Yin understood immediately.
This is an attempt to get rid of the father and keep the son. This is a good move. By then, the entire Marquis' Mansion will become Heng Youyi's world.
"I'd like to congratulate you in advance." Su Yin suddenly thought of something and asked, "Madam, have you met many dignitaries in the capital?"
"I've attended many banquets, big and small, and I know most of the famous people in the capital."
"Have you seen the late queen?" Su Yin asked.
Heng Youyi was a little surprised. She had jumped a little too far in this topic. "I have never seen the late queen, but I have heard of her name. However, I know what she looks like."
"Ah?" Su Yin was surprised.
Heng Youyi lowered her voice and said, "I'll tell you a secret."
"Yeah." Su Yin nodded and waited quietly.
"Xie Sanlang of the Duke Su's family has a mistress. It is said that she looks a bit like the Empress Chen who was the most favored in the six palaces. I was curious before, so I personally received her when she came to my shop to order something."
Now that she had seen what Queen Chen looked like, Su Yin asked the second question.
"Then do you know of any wealthy and powerful family in the capital city that has a child around seven or eight years old who looks exactly like the Empress Chen?"
Heng Youyi shook his head without even thinking. If there was a child who looked like Concubine Chen, the fame would have spread throughout the capital city long ago.
"No."
No? !
That's strange.
Su Yin looked at Xiao Cui and said, "Xiao Cui, can I lend you a pen and paper?"
Xiao Cui handed over the paper and pen in her hand.
Su Yin spread out the paper and started painting on it with a brush.
Heng Youyi came forward to take a look out of curiosity, and before she finished drawing the pattern, Heng Youyi recognized it.
"Why did you suddenly think of drawing the family emblem of Duke Suguo?"
Su Yin pointed at the pattern that was about to be finished, "Are you sure this is the family emblem of the Duke of Su's Mansion?"
"Of course. Our Heng family does business in Shangjing City, and we know the family crests of all the major families by heart. If you can't even recognize or remember this, then this business won't last long." Heng Youyi was still very confident about this.
The clan emblem of the Duke Su's Mansion...
"I heard a piece of news that the Duke of Su's family brought the concubine's child back to the Duke's Mansion to let the child recognize his ancestors. Could that child be the one who looks like Empress Chen?"
"Don't tell me, it's that one. If the third son of the Xie family hadn't had a son with that concubine, I'm afraid the Xie family would have been extinct. In the past, that child would never have been recognized as a descendant."
"Have you seen that child before?" Su Yin asked.
Heng Youyi shook his head. "I have never seen him. I also did not see him when I went to the concubine's house. I heard that the child was weak and sickly, and was often locked up in the house."
Seeing that she was curious about the child of Duke Suguo, he smiled and said, "Yesterday, Duke Suguo's Mansion sent an invitation to the Marquis' Mansion to hold a banquet for the child to recognize his ancestors. If you are curious, you can go with me."
Su Yin thought about it for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "Thank you, Madam, for helping me broaden my horizons."
She was indeed curious about how much the child looked like her younger brother.
Since her uncle thought he looked like him, and his back did look like her brother, Su Yin planned to go and see him regardless of whether they were him or not.
Nothing bad happens after all.
Heng Youyi smiled and said, "It will probably be the day after tomorrow. Because the situation in the court has been tense recently, Duke Su's banquet is not big and not many people will go. I can't bring you in with other identities. You will have to be my maid that day."
"It's okay." Su Yin didn't care about it at all. As long as the goal could be achieved, nothing else mattered.
The two agreed on the banquet that day, and Su Yin stood up to say goodbye.
After returning to Qingshi Lane, Su Yin immediately found his father and pulled him into the study to discuss something.
"Dad, tell me about the situation of Duke Su's family in the previous life."
