Chapter 206 Falling from Favor
Other people in the Duke's Mansion also noticed Jing Mo, and they all showed shocked expressions.
Pei Jingyuan carefully observed the expression of the Duke's wife, and saw tears flashing in her eyes. The Duke's husband and his wife had similar expressions. He felt that something was wrong. Why did the Duke's husband also have this expression? Didn't the Duke's wife feel guilty when she saw this man?
Originally, he suspected that Jing Mo was the Duke's wife's illegitimate son, or that she was planning to frame him as the Duke's wife's illegitimate son. However, the expressions of the Duke's wife and others made him feel a little uneasy.
The Duke's wife stared at Jing Mo for a long time before she stammered, "Where are your parents?"
Jing Mo's heart trembled. He didn't know why he felt a little sad in his heart. He couldn't control his voice and choked up a little as he said, "I was rescued from the hands of human traffickers by my master. I don't have any parents."
Jing Mo's words were like a thunderbolt, striking the Duke of England and the Duke's wife, and they were unable to recover for a long time.
After a long while, the Duke's wife began to cry sadly.
"Mother, let's go into the mansion first and talk about it!" At this time, Pei Jingchuan stepped forward to comfort her.
After entering the mansion, the Duke's wife dismissed everyone else, leaving only Pei Jingchuan and his friends, as well as Doctor Xuan and Jing Mo, all sitting in the hall.
The Duke's wife asked Doctor Xuan about his encounter with Jing Mo. She was heartbroken to learn that he almost died of illness when he was a child.
Doctor Xuan used his unique paternity test technique to verify the blood relationship between Jing Mo and the Duke's wife. When she learned that Jing Mo was really her child, the Duke's wife was so excited that she fainted. Fortunately, Doctor Xuan revived her on the spot.
"Mr. Xuan, you are truly the benefactor of our Duke's Mansion. I am afraid that our Duke's Mansion will never be able to repay you for this great kindness in this lifetime. In the future, as long as you have any requests, we will do our best to satisfy them." The Duke of England looked at Doctor Xuan with gratitude and said.
Doctor Xuan looked calm, and said to his disciple Jing Mo, "Jing Mo, now that your family has been found, it's time for you to go back to your parents."
Hearing this, Jing Mo looked at Doctor Xuan and said hurriedly, "Master, do you want to abandon your disciple? You raised me, and I will take care of you until the end of your life! I will never leave you."
Doctor Xuan smiled and said, "I have already come to the capital with you, haven't I? From now on, you just need to take care of me in my old age and see me to the end of my life in the capital."
"Master, do you mean...you are not leaving?" Jing Mo said in surprise after hearing this.
Doctor Xuan nodded calmly and said, "Well! I'm old now and don't want to bother with it anymore. I'd better spend my old age in a place I'm familiar with!"
After hearing what Doctor Xuan said, Xu Qingyan couldn't help but frown. She tried hard to recall the contents of the book and suddenly made a major discovery.
Xu Qingyan said excitedly in her heart: Oh! I remember that Doctor Xuan originally planned to return to the capital in a year. Forty years ago, he was the imperial physician in the palace, but later, after his family was broken up, he left the capital in grief. Before, Doctor Xuan had a wife and children, and his daughter was still alive and had a granddaughter. He always thought that his daughter was dead, so he had been living in grief for so many years. However, he didn't know that his daughter was not dead, but was living a miserable life. Later, with the help of Xu Qingyue and Pei Jingyuan, he found his daughter who had been lost for decades, and that's why he was so loyal to Pei Jingyuan. 】
At this time, Jing Mo heard Xu Qingyan's inner voice and was shocked. He didn't expect that his master actually had a daughter! Originally, he felt strange that he could hear Xu Qingyan's inner voice, and he couldn't figure it out. Now he heard Xu Qingyan's complaints, and he was even more suspicious. Was what she said true or false? Why had he never heard his master say it? If this was true, his master would definitely want to find his daughter. His master had been so good to him, and he had to help his master.
So Jing Mo said directly: "Master, you stay in the capital, but is there anything you want to do? Can your disciple help you?"
Doctor Xuan thought of his wife and children, and a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes. However, as long as he thought that they had died long ago, he still shook his head and said, "Master, I just want to spend my old age here in peace! If possible, it would be even better if you can plant some jasmine where I live."
Xu Qingyan sighed again in her heart: [Jasmine, that's his wife's favorite flower. Oh... Doctor Xuan is such an affectionate person! By the way, his granddaughter looks a lot like his wife. That's why he likes his granddaughter so much. I'll find a chance to get a portrait of Doctor Xuan's wife someday, and look for them according to that portrait. Maybe I can find Doctor Xuan's daughter and granddaughter before Xu Qingyue and the others.]
Except for Jing Mo who was half-believing and half-doubting Xu Qingyan's words, the Duke and the Duchess believed in Xu Qingyan's heart.
For so long, every time Xu Qingyan complained in her heart, it was true. After they learned that Doctor Xuan had such a thing, they decided to help Doctor Xuan.
So, after the Duke's wife looked at Pei Jingchuan deeply, Pei Jingchuan nodded silently. He would do his best to help him find the daughter and granddaughter of Doctor Xuan.
So, Pei Jingchuan told the Duke's wife that Dr. Xuan would treat her illness. The Duke's wife was very surprised and treated Dr. Xuan as a guest of honor. She sent someone to arrange Dr. Xuan in the best guest room in the Duke's mansion, and Jing Mo was arranged to live in the courtyard that was originally built for him. The Duke's wife and the Duke quietly arranged for Jing Mo to return to his ancestral home.
On the other hand, Pei Jingyuan had no time to care about what happened to the Duke's wife. He did not take the initiative to introduce Chen Xing to the Duke's wife, but arranged her to stay alone in his own yard.
Xu Qingyue and Zhao Shiwen naturally knew the news very quickly. Xu Qingyue was not particularly angry that Pei Jingyuan brought back another woman this time. After all, she had already been disappointed with Pei Jingyuan in her heart.
Only Zhao Shiwen felt a sense of crisis. She saw that Pei Jingyuan never came to see her, but always stayed by Chen Xing's side to take care of her. She went forward to say hello several times, but was stopped by Pei Jingyuan. She couldn't get in touch with Chen Xing at all.
So, she could only turn to find Xu Qingyue and said, "Cousin, you really have the leisure time! Now that your husband has brought back another woman, aren't you worried, cousin?"
Zhao Shiwen walked to Xu Qingyue's door and saw her leisurely fiddling with jewelry. She couldn't help but say a few sour words.
Hearing this, Xu Qingyue glanced and smiled faintly: "What are you worried about? Husband, I am not the only woman here, and there will be more women in the future. Isn't this normal?"
"Aren't you afraid of falling out of favor? Aren't you afraid that this woman will take away all your husband's love?" Zhao Shiwen looked at Xu Qingyue unwillingly.
She just didn't believe that Xu Qingyue didn't care at all.
