Chapter 92: The City Lord Has No Son, All Forces Are Ready to Move



There was a lot of sex going on in the back garden of the palace.

Outside the main gate of the Imperial Household Department in the front hall, Wang Baoshan was suffering from the scorching sun and hunger and thirst.

"Sir, can I have a drink of water?"

The guard said impatiently: "No."

Wang Baoshan couldn't stand it any longer and pointed at the palace gate: "Can I leave first?"

The guards ignored him.

Wang Baoshan simply went to the palace gate.

The guards guarding the palace gate shouted sternly: "No one is allowed to enter or leave the palace at will."

Wang Baoshan felt like a trapped beast in a wall, and could only wait anxiously for Yu Jinshu to come out before he could follow her out.

But Yu Jinshu always had to have lunch and take a one-hour nap before leaving.

Occasionally, I would stay overnight in the city palace.

Fortunately, after lunch, Yu Jinshu rested for a full hour and finally came out.

"Jinshu, what important matter is there in the Ministry of Internal Affairs that has delayed us for so long?" Wang Baoshan was so dry in the mouth that he kept sticking out his tongue.

Yu Jinshu didn't even look at him. "The Wang family's business is so big, and they have more than a dozen collaborations with the City Palace. Naturally, there are many things to discuss and deal with."

Wang Baoshan said, "But when I worked with Cheng Gong before, I never had to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to handle these matters."

Yu Jinshu glanced at him and said unhappily, "It's because you didn't care about the Cheng Palace in the first place that the Imperial Kiln Factory and the Cheng Palace couldn't renew their contract. And the cooperation between the weaving factory and the Cheng Palace was also because you didn't communicate with the Cheng Palace, resulting in problems with the textiles sent to the Cheng Palace, and no proper solution. This is why the City Lord was furious and wanted to sever the contract with the Wang family."

When Wang Baoshan heard what Yu Jinshu said, he felt that it seemed to be true.

Yu Jinshu is so good at business that Liu Hua is completely not in the same league as her.

Liu Hua only knows how to spend money and has squandered all his huge fortune.

Wang Baoshan had to think carefully about the divorce.

Should I get a divorce?

But his mother said that Yu Jinshu was too powerful and that she was suffocating her, so she insisted that he divorce Yu Jinshu.

After returning to the Wang family mansion, Yu Jinshu went to Yixiangyuan, and Wang Baoshan went back to the guest house and drank a pot of water.

He didn't eat lunch either, so he asked the maid to bring him some food, and he ate like a starving ghost.

Seeing this, Liu Hua asked curiously, "Why do you act like you've been tortured during your visit to the palace?"

Wang Baoshan was furious. "Isn't it? When I arrived at the main gate of the palace, the guards wouldn't let me in, only letting Yu Jinshu in. They wouldn't give me food or water, and wouldn't let me leave the palace. I stood outside the main gate, thirsty and hungry, until Yu Jinshu finally came out after noon."

Liu Hua frowned: "Yu Jinshu doesn't care about you either."

Wang Baoshan said, "I want to divorce her! If I give it to you, will you care about me?"

Liu Hua nodded. "That's true. Why don't you divorce her quickly? Once she leaves and loses her status as the Wang family's young lady, the palace will have no choice but to let you in."

After hearing this, Wang Baoshan began to waver again.

Is that really the case? If Yu Jinshu leaves, will the city palace recognize him as Wang Baoshan?

Wang Baoshan seemed to have reaffirmed his determination to divorce Yu Jinshu.

After resting for a while in Yixiangyuan, Yu Jinshu took Zhenzhu to Qin's place.

Qin thought that Yu Jinshu came for divorce. She was sure that Yu Jinshu did not want to divorce. If she divorced, Yu Jinshu would no longer be the young lady of the Wang family mansion, and would not be able to manage such a large family property.

But as soon as Yu Jinshu sat down, he started talking about Wang Baoshan.

"Mother, I heard some news outside today."

Qin lowered her head to drink the tea in her teacup and asked, "What news did you hear?"

Yu Jinshu deliberately lowered his voice and said, "I heard that Baoshan was killed by bandits three years ago. This is true."

Qin glared at Yu Jinshu and said, "Nonsense! Baoshan is back safely, isn't he?"

Yu Jinshu lowered his voice and continued, "It was the merchants in Shu who told me this. They said that the bandits who killed Baoshan took his property and now have their sights set on the Wang family mansion in the capital. So they found someone to disguise themselves as Baoshan and return to the Wang family mansion, pretending to be Baoshan. They want to drive me out and then kill you, mother. That way, all the property in the Wang family mansion will belong to those bandits."

Qin was stunned when she heard this, and slowly turned to look at Yu Jinshu, "Are you saying that Baoshan is fake?"

Yu Jinshu nodded.

Qin shook her head: "Impossible, how could I not recognize my own son?"

Yu Jinshu stared into Qin's eyes: "Mother, are you sure that's Baoshan's voice? Why do I feel it's a little different?"

Qin was stunned.

Yu Jinshu added, "And Baoshan used to be very thin, so he doesn't look like him at all."

Qin was stunned again.

Wang Baoshan was sixteen years old when he went to Shushan three years ago and was still in the voice changing stage. After three years, Wang Baoshan is now nineteen years old and his voice has changed a little from before.

And Wang Baoshan's appearance, he has become a little fatter, which is very different from before.

It was with these considerations that Yu Jinshu used his voice and appearance to arouse Qin's suspicion.

Sure enough, Qin began to think deeply.

Yu Jinshu struck while the iron was hot: "I remember it was summer when I got married. Baoshan was so hot that he took off his clothes in the yard. I accidentally walked in and saw a half-moon-shaped red mole on his back."

Qin stared at Yu Jinshu: "Is there this mole?"

Wang Baoshan had been taken care of by a wet nurse since he was born, and his bathing and changing of clothes were usually taken care of by maids and nannies. Qin had never touched housework and had never seen Wang Baoshan without clothes, so naturally she didn't know whether Wang Baoshan had a mole on his body.

Nineteen years have passed, and those maids and nannies have either married or died, and none of them are in the Wang family mansion.

Yu Jinshu understood this very well, so he made up a mole.

She nodded: "Yes, I remember it very clearly, it was a red mole this big." She gestured and it was about half the size of a fingernail.

Qin stood up suddenly and said, "I'll go ask Baoshan."

Yu Jinshu quickly grabbed Qin and said, "Mother, don't ask directly."

Qin was puzzled: "Why?"

Yu Jinshu said, "If this Baoshan is fake, then he's a bandit. I heard from that Shu merchant that the leader of that gang of bandits is called Wande, and his mistress is called Liuhua."

"Liuhua." Qin frowned. "So, my Baoshan was killed by Liuhua. Liuhua found a fake Baoshan to come to the Wang family mansion and seize the family property."

Yu Jinshu nodded: "That's right!"

Finally got on the road, so nervous!

Qin said, "If this Baoshan is a bandit in disguise, then if I rashly go to him, he might turn against me out of desperation. Then..."

She broke out in a cold sweat.

Yu Jinshu said, "Who knows, they might kill us all by then."

Qin was so frightened that tears came out, and she said anxiously: "Then, what should we do?"
