Chapter 41 The Only Son
Jinghan was so angry that she fell backwards. She knew that Tang Penzi would not compromise so easily.
[Hehe, even though I know Tang Penzi is a pillar of society, that doesn't stop me from eating her melons! Tongzi, show me if Tang Penzi has any big melons that she doesn't want to tell others about!]
Tang Peng's smiling face was immediately torn off.
She looked at Jinghan with resentment, "Your Highness, you are really going too far."
Even so, I don't agree with such a long vacation.
Although your starting point is good, working five days and resting two days, nine hours a day, is really too much.
I, Tang Peng, am different from those corrupt officials.
The system and Jing Han had forgotten about Wei Zheliang's gossip.
Wei Zheliang thought that she would investigate and find out who was so bold as to deceive her son and her.
Thinking of this, Wei Zheliang waited with peace of mind to eat Tang Peng's melon.
After she leaves the court, she will give Wei Lehuan a good beating.
[On the surface, Tang Penzi and Wei Daohao are equally unlucky! ]
Wei Zheliang: You are unlucky, your whole family is unlucky.
【Oh? Tell me about it!】
Jing Chengji and all the officials were excited when they heard this. Who among them had not been scolded by Wei Penzi?
It's rare to be able to see the jokes of Tang Penzi.
Tang Peng was shocked, and although he appeared to be nonchalant on the surface, he was actually already sounding the alarm in his heart, and was wondering what had brought him such bad luck.
Tang Penzi rarely doubted himself for a moment, wondering if he had been too serious in the past, but it only lasted for a moment.
【Tang Pengzi's bedmate is not his bedmate! 】
The ministers were puzzled. What did it mean? What did it mean that the person next to you is not the one next to you? Could it be a ghost?
No, could it be that Tang Penzi’s pillow partner is not the same person as his original pillow partner?
This system really drives them crazy. They always gasp for breath when they speak.
Urgent! Urgent!
But all the civil and military officials in the court are still waiting "patiently"!
[Host, I can only deduce this much. After all, without seeing the person in person, it's difficult to know the whole process!]
Jinghan: ???
Jing Chengji: ???
All the civil and military officials in the court: ???
Party member Fen: ???
It turns out that the surface the system refers to is the "real" surface.
The baby is born, and you say you have no milk?
Is this reasonable?
ah?
Someone among the civil and military officials in the court felt visibly more relaxed.
Jinghan was originally very excited, but he didn't expect the system to say such a thing!
She squeezed out word by word.
[Today, no matter what, you have to let me eat the whole melon, otherwise I will never let you go!]
System grievances.
[This is not my fault, host. When I upgrade, maybe I won't need to see anyone. As long as there is one relevant person, I can withdraw from the whole performance! ]
【I don’t care, I won’t listen! 】
Jing Chengji winked at Tang Peng.
Tang Peng received the signal and immediately bowed down.
"Your Majesty, I have something else to ask for your help!"
"My dear Lord Tang, please stand up quickly. If you have anything to say, just tell me. I will definitely take care of it for you!"
Tang Peng wiped his face, his expression full of sadness.
"I discovered that my husband is not my husband, but someone else pretending to be him! I investigated privately, but I found nothing. The man pretending to be my husband was very similar, but I just feel uncomfortable!"
[Huh? System, I didn't expect Tang Peng to sense it himself! But there's no evidence, right?]
"I haven't stopped investigating yet. I hope to get your help!"
"Lord Tang, are you serious? You understand the gravity of this matter. Who would dare to pretend to be the husband of a second-rank minister?!"
"I dare to guarantee it!"
[Wait, there's another person in the court who's related to Tang Peng!]
The system was startled, and there was a sudden silence in the court, with everyone waiting for the system's next words.
The man was immediately shocked. Wasn't it impossible to deduce it?
Although he was surprised and suspicious, the man spoke hurriedly as if he was panicking for his son.
"Your Majesty, I only have one son. Lord Tang is clearly wrongly accusing my son. If Minister Tang's husband is not my son, then who could it be? My good son has become Lord Tang's husband. Although I don't understand, I am extremely worried!"
"Master Tang, if what you said is true, the person beside you is not the one beside you, then where is my son, a living person? You must compensate me with my son, who was fine when we got married!"
This person's name was Cai Shaotan, and he was a fourth-rank official in the Imperial College.
Although he was only a fourth-rank official, which sounded like a low-ranking official, he was actually equivalent to the principal of the highest educational institution responsible for training officials and senior intellectuals.
Therefore, the two families were able to get married.
Cai Shaotan was filled with grief and anger, and questioned Tang Peng.
Tang Peng even felt a little bit of the same feeling, but she really didn't know why the person next to her was no longer her own person.
If "Cai Wang" had any evil intentions, wouldn't she have been beheaded in her sleep without knowing anything?
Whenever he thought of this, Tang Peng broke out in a cold sweat and felt that his head was not safe at all.
Just when I was getting scared, I heard the heavenly sound of the system.
"This Cai Shaotan is pretending to be quite good. Isn't he the one leading this? I didn't see him then, but now I see he's full of evil intentions! How can a man so vicious as to harm his own son train talents for the Jing Kingdom? Are you sure he's not ruining their future?!"
The system asked three questions in a row, and Cai Shaotan's legs immediately went limp.
He gritted his teeth and held on. He had dealt with his son long ago. As long as he couldn't see that evildoer, he didn't believe that this system could reveal more truths!
The truth had long been buried along with the corpse of that evildoer.
But he seemed to have forgotten that he, the mastermind behind the murder of his son, was here, so how could the system not deduce the truth?
At this moment, Jing Chengji and no one in the court thought that Cai Shaotan's ugly face was due to worry about his son. It was clearly panic caused by guilty conscience.
Tang Peng also had an unusual thing in her memory, but she didn't take it seriously at the time. But now, she felt that from that time on, the person sleeping beside her had changed!
But why?
Tang Peng couldn't figure it out.
He didn't take his own life, nor did he frame her.
Oh, kid? Could it be...
When Tang Peng thought of her child, anger spread throughout her body.
Seeing Jing Chengji's expressionless face, Cai Shaotan became even more frightened and shouted.
"Your Majesty, I am wronged and heartbroken. Lord Tang is with my husband every day, so how could my son not be my son?"
[He is indeed your son, but not your only son! ]
Tang Peng looked at Cai Shaotan suddenly. As far as he knew, the Cai family only had one man.
Since the system says he is not the only son, is there any other answer?
That must mean Cai Shaotan has an illegitimate child outside.
So, it all seems to make sense.
If he has no feelings for his legitimate child but has feelings for his illegitimate child, but the illegitimate child must not be known to outsiders, it is not impossible that he would kill his original wife and make room for the illegitimate child so that the illegitimate child can live a better life.
Jing Chengji and all the civil and military officials in the court had obviously thought of this possibility. If that was the case, they would be extremely disgusted with people like Cai Shaotan.
What on earth is the reason that requires Cai Shaotan to make such calculations!
If you really like the illegitimate child outside, you can take him home as a concubine's son!
Why would you kill your own son?!
If they asked, Jinghan could explain it to them.
[Because of lust, I want to praise my beloved son to the highest position, but I don't want him to be criticized by anyone because of his identity!]
