Chapter 103 Birthmark
This guy is addicted to it.
If everything went fine the two times, is there any need to try a third time?
But it was useless for Chen Tang to say that. She became weak all over after being kissed, and Xie Guimo let her go.
Chen Tang fled out of the door, not even daring to ask for the house.
Ginkgo and Qiu Tong were standing outside the door. When they saw Chen Tang coming out in a panic, they thought something had happened. Ginkgo asked, "Girl, where are you going?"
Shen Tang didn't answer, and Gingko chased after him.
Chen Tang walked to the front yard in one breath. Usually at this time, Chen Sui would be in the mansion, but today he had not returned yet. Chen Tang was sitting in the pavilion outside the study, waiting for Chen Sui.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Shen Sui returned home. Shen Sui saw Shen Tang, and Shen Tang also saw him. He immediately stood up and said, "Father is finally back."
Seeing Shen Tang’s anxious expression, Shen Sui was a little worried, “But what happened?”
Chen Tang shook his head, "Nothing happened. I went to the study with my father to talk."
Although there were not many people around, Chen Tang was still worried.
Since Shen Tang was so cautious, Shen Sui would definitely obey her. After entering the study, Shen Tang said, "Father, I may have found my eldest brother."
One stone can cause a thousand ripples.
Shen Sui was startled. He wanted to speak, but he couldn't make a sound. His eyes turned red. After a while, he asked, "Where is your brother?"
Chen Tang said, "I'm not completely sure yet, I need my father to ask clearly."
Shen Sui asked, "Who to ask?"
"Old Prince Ning."
Shen Sui frowned, "Why are you going to ask Old Prince Ning?"
Chen Tang said, “The current Prince of Ning is most likely the eldest brother.”
Shen Sui's excited heart suddenly cooled down, "How could Prince Ning be your elder brother?"
The image of Xiao Huan flashed through his mind. His features did resemble his, but Yan'er was lost at the Lantern Festival, and it was already very difficult for him to survive. How could he become the prince of Ning Wang's Mansion?
He went to ask rashly, but Prince Ning was so angry that he beat him out.
Shen Tang knew that Shen Sui didn't believe it. Even if she was mentally prepared that her elder brother's status was noble and beyond her imagination, she still didn't dare to believe it, let alone her father.
Chen Tang said, "I told father a long time ago that my eldest brother is in Kyoto. My eldest brother has a birthmark on his lower back, and Prince Ning has a scar in that location. I asked someone to ask him, and Prince Ning did not deny that the scar was originally a birthmark. I didn't want to ask Old Prince Ning, so I told father and asked him to ask. If Prince Ning is really not Old Prince Ning's grandson, Old Prince Ning will be happy that my eldest brother can find his relatives again."
"If my father doesn't ask, then I'll ask my grandfather and uncle to ask Old Prince Ning."
In short, she would definitely ask Prince Ning for clarification.
It was the first time that Shen Sui knew that his daughter had such a stubborn personality. He said, "Don't bother your grandfather and your uncle. I will ask Old Prince Ning tomorrow."
Chen Tang said dissatisfiedly, "It's still early today, can't we go today?"
"...Okay, father will go now."
Chen Sui still couldn't believe it and wanted to think carefully about whether this was possible, but he couldn't resist his impatient daughter who almost pushed him out of the study.
Chen Sui walked to the gate, and the servant brought the horse forward. Chen Tang watched him climb onto the horse and said, "I'll wait for my father to come back in the outer courtyard."
If it wasn't inappropriate, she would have wanted to go.
Prince Ning's Mansion.
Princess Ning showed the ladies she had chosen to Prince Ning, "I think these girls are very good, take a look."
Old Prince Ning said, "Of course your choice will not be bad, but the most important thing is that Huan'er likes it."
Princess Ning said, "Huan'er doesn't care about his lifelong affairs at all. I just asked him twice, but now he is avoiding me. He doesn't even dare to stay in the mansion. He can only stay in Kyoto for a few days a year, and he can't see anyone when he comes back."
Old Prince Ning said, "Take your time to choose, there is no rush."
"There's no rush. I dream of holding my great-grandson in my arms. The mansion is too lonely," said Princess Ning, her voice choked with sobs.
Not to mention that Princess Ning felt that the palace was deserted, Prince Ning felt the same way. When Xiao Huan was not in Kyoto, the huge palace was filled with only the two of them, and it seemed lifeless.
Old Prince Ning said, "I'll talk to Huan'er later and ask him to work harder and marry a princess as soon as possible so that he can have more great-grandchildren for you to hold."
Princess Ning burst into laughter and said, "It's just to make me happy."
Princess Ning was giving the portraits of the ladies to Prince Ning to choose from. A maid came in and said, "Prince, the Marquis of Pingyuan wants to see you."
Old Prince Ning felt strange. Why would Marquis Pingyuan come to see him at this time? Old Prince Ning looked at Old Princess Ning and said, "I'll go and take a look."
Old Prince Ning put down the portrait, stood up and left.
Chen Sui was in the front yard, and the steward was inviting him to have tea. Old Prince Ning walked in, and Chen Sui stood up and saluted Old Prince Ning. Old Prince Ning asked, "Why is Pingyuan Hou coming to my Ning Palace?"
Shen Sui looked at Old Prince Ning and opened his mouth several times, but he really didn't know how to start.
His son was lost at a young age, and he has no children to date. Prince Ning's two sons also died early, leaving him with only one grandson.
Chen Sui felt that what he was going to ask would be too cruel to Old Prince Ning. He couldn't ask it, and being beaten out was secondary. What he was more afraid of was hurting Old Prince Ning.
Shen Sui wanted to speak but stopped. Old Prince Ning thought that there were people in the main hall and it was inconvenient to speak, so he waved his hand to send the person away, "Marquis Pingyuan, you can speak directly if you want to say something."
Chen Sui made up his mind and said, "Please forgive me, Old Prince. I came to ask you, Old Prince, whether there is a birthmark the size of a copper coin on the back of the prince's waist..."
Old Prince Ning's expression changed, and he raised his hand to interrupt Shen Sui's words, "Let's talk in my study."
Old Prince Ning started to walk away, and Shen Sui followed him.
When they arrived at the study, Old Prince Ning handed a pen to Shen Sui, "Draw the copper coin-sized birthmark you are looking for, so I can see it."
Shen Sui took it, and Old Prince Ning handed him another piece of paper.
Shen Sui then drew the birthmark.
When he finished the painting, he gave it to Prince Ning, who took out a piece of paper from the drawer and opened it.
There was also a birthmark drawn on that piece of paper.
It is exactly the same as the one painted by Shen Sui.
Shen Sui's heart was shaken, and he felt a little hopeful about what he had not believed before. He knelt down and said, "Please tell me the truth, old Prince Ning."
Even if Xiao Huan is not his son, Prince Ning must have clues about his son.
Although this birthmark is only the size of a copper coin, it is not round and has a corner protruding. It is impossible for two birthmarks like this to look exactly the same.
Old Prince Ning's eyes turned red as he helped Shen Sui up. "A tiger father will have a dog son. Huan'er is both civil and military. I knew his biological parents would be good. I didn't expect Huan'er to be your son, Shen Sui."
"It's just that Huan'er's birthmark disappeared ten years ago. There is only a scar left where the birthmark was. How did you know this?"
Chen Sui said, "I'm ashamed to say that I don't know anything about this. My daughter said that my late wife had appeared in her dream and told her that her elder brother was in Kyoto. I don't know why she thought that Prince Ning was Yan'er's. Before I could ask, my daughter pushed me to ask you, old prince."
Shen Sui choked up and asked, "How did Yan'er come to be with you, old prince?"
