"Really? You really don't know?" The knife was placed on Zhou Da's neck.

Zhou Da cried out in fear, "I don't know, I really don't know. I just took the money to do the job, I don't know where her child was stolen from or bought. Good man, don't kill me. Wuwu~ I have an old mother and a child at home waiting for me to support them."

As they were talking, they heard the sound of water splashing.

Then a foul smell of urine wafted out.

Zhou Da was so scared that he peed himself.

The knife slid across his skin and he was blindfolded again.

The smell of blood and the feeling of the knife sliding across the skin will be infinitely magnified when you are blindfolded.

He is an ordinary person, so naturally he was frightened.

Moreover, he thought that he had done nothing wrong, and it seemed that he really didn't know about the child swap, so there was nothing to hide.

Seeing him like this, the guard said to Chu Xuanche: "Boy, he really looks like he doesn't know."

Chu Xuanche nodded and had him thrown out.

The guard knocked Zhou Daji unconscious with a knife, and when he woke up again, he was already in his own home.

What happened that night was like a dream. He had no idea who had captured him.

In the dungeon.

Ruan Xinchen stepped forward and tore off the sackcloth on Ruan Ziyi's mouth.

He moved his cheeks for a moment, then spoke again after a while.

"I am not my mother's child?"

Ruan Xinchen looked down at him and said, "It sounds like that's true. She stole you."

"Then who am I?" Ruan Ziyi looked at her in horror.

Ruan Xinchen also looked at him.

This one looks somewhat similar to them, especially to my fifth uncle.

Since he is not Ruan Xiaoren's son, he is just his younger brother.

No wonder.

Some things that she didn't understand before suddenly came together.

For example, why did Ruan, who was such a vicious person, not drive her away after he plotted against his sister and his lord, but let her stay as a concubine?

Since her innocence had been destroyed and Ruan Hong had hated her to death, it would naturally be best to throw her away as far as possible.

But not only did she not drive her away, she also facilitated this marriage.

Moreover, she was such a vicious person, yet he allowed her to give birth to the child.

They are born one after another.

Especially the second one, she didn't really think it through and hoped that the three of them could live a good life.

She obviously wanted to use her sister to help her give birth to a son.

After all... a child born to a sister who looks like her would be more like her and would not arouse suspicion from others.

I never thought that this was the whole truth.

Ruan Xinchen told Ruan Ziyi all his thoughts.

Tell him that he, like herself, was born by a young woman.

He once cursed her for being born by a bitch, raised by a bitch, and born by a bitch, and all of these were taken back to him.

She also told him that if he didn't believe it, he could go see his fifth uncle again.

He really looks like my fifth uncle.

Cui Yun was not sane. She could tell whether this person was lying or not by just finding an adult to investigate.

Since he was not born by Cui Yun, then who was his father?

Ruan Ziyi burst into tears after hearing this.

Crying and laughing.

"How could this happen? How could... this happen..."

The guard looked a little worried at his expression and looked at Ruan Xinchen.

Ruan Xinchen looked at him coldly and painfully, took a deep breath, and said to Chu Xuanche: "Let's go."

"Um."

She left with Chu Xuanche.

The impact of this incident was not only borne by Ruan Ziyi, but also by himself.

She thought they all needed time to digest it.

…

After Cui Er knew that Ruan's son was the child from that year, she couldn't let it go for a long time.

"How could it be him? He must hate you for forcing him to cut off his own hand that day. Miss, that person is really cruel. She watched you force the young master to cut off his hand. She hoped that you would become enemies. She calculated that even if you knew each other's identities in the end, you would not be able to recognize each other."

Maybe, but it would only hurt her if she cared.

Does she care?

She thought he had been stolen and left somewhere to suffer, so she wanted to find him back.

Now that she knew he was by her side and that his life was much better than hers, she suddenly didn't care anymore.

It’s up to you whether to admit it or not. He wants to admit it, but she doesn’t want to.

However, she didn't say that in front of Cui'er.

After all, Cui'er didn't know about the entanglement between her and Ruan Ziyi.

Ruan Xinchen smiled and said, "No, he already knows Cui Yun's true face, and it's too late for him to hate her."

"But you forced him to cut off his hand yesterday."

"It's okay. His hand has been reattached and will be fully healed in a few months."

"Really?"

"Well, hurry up and get on the carriage. Don't let the caravan wait." Liu An, who was in the carriage, could hardly hold back and urged.

Cui Er nodded, "Okay, Miss, I'll go then."

"Well, go ahead, I'll write you a letter."

"good."

Cui'er got on the carriage, but she kept lifting the curtain and looking at her, crying.

Only when she was far away from Prince Gong's Mansion and could no longer see him did she lower the curtain and sit down.

Liu An handed her the handkerchief and said, "If you miss them, we can come back next year."

Cui Er shook her head and said, "Seeing that they are safe and that my son's revenge has been achieved, I feel relieved. From now on... Master, we will live our own lives from now on."

"good."

…

Chu Xuanche investigated the Second Prince's affairs and found that they were as absurd as Ruan Xinchen said, but not as outrageous as she said.

Probably because it would be a few years before something so outrageous that it would infuriate people to death.

He told Prince Gong's wife what he had found out.

"That's right. Once the emperor finds out, he won't let him succeed to the throne."

Prince Gong's wife was shocked.

"Xiao Che, are you sure?"

Chu Xuanche said: "Since I want to detain him, I will naturally investigate his affairs. If I detain the wrong person, our whole family will have to give their lives. Mother, do you think I am joking?"

Yes, how could he joke about such a big thing?

Princess Gong was shocked, and finally snorted, "I never thought that a child who seemed to be very obedient would act so absurdly."

Prince Gong stroked his beard and said, "The Second Prince will be twenty next year. We originally wanted to ask the Emperor to make him the Crown Prince when he is twenty, and then marry him as the Crown Prince. Now it seems..."

He looked at the people in the room, his brows furrowed as if he was going to pinch a mosquito to death.

Ruan Xinchen said: "Don't ask the emperor to appoint a crown prince. If you do that, I'm worried that Prince Zhan will reveal the Second Prince's affairs."

Um?

"Does the War King know about this?"

Ruan Xinchen nodded, "He knows that his illness is fake. He is just pretending to be weak, hoping to trick the Queen and her group into changing their target."

Prince Gong looked at Chu Xuanche.

Chu Xuanche nodded gently and said, "Not bad. The last time I fought with him, not only was he in good health, but his skills had also improved a lot."
