Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Struggle for Succession? He's My Dad?
Xu Wang and his companions continued their exploration; the third room was Yunxi's room.
The room was still very simple and small, with only a bed and a simple wardrobe in the entire room.
Yunxi sat on the bed, the bed frame creaking under his weight.
"There doesn't seem to be anything to look up here, does it?" Gu Yunlan looked around and saw that there were only one or two pieces of clothing in the wardrobe, and the rest was empty.
"Doesn't this prove that I am a truly law-abiding citizen?" Yunxi nodded in satisfaction.
"Wait a minute, what's this?" Jiang Xiubai held up a pillow, under which were several scattered photos.
"Huh?" Yunxi came closer, looking completely bewildered.
"These photos seem to be of the same woman." Jiang Xiubai looked at several photos and found that they were all of the same woman.
"Wait a minute, do you see any words on the back of these photos?" Xia Yu picked up one of the photos and sent it over. Sure enough, there was a "Mother" written on the bottom right corner of each photo.
"Oh, this photo should be of my mother. There shouldn't be any problem, right?" Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief. He was terrified, thinking that she had a motive.
“No, no, no, if she is your mother, then there is a big problem.” Jiang Xiubai gently shook her head, holding the last photo in her hand.
"What do you mean?" Yunxi asked, looking puzzled.
“Because your father is the Duke.” Jiang Xiubai placed the last photo in front of everyone. The photo still showed the same young woman, but this time there was a man and a baby in the photo. The man looked exactly like the man sitting on the sofa in the hall, but without his beard.
!!
Three big exclamation marks popped into everyone's mind.
[Wow! What kind of operation is this?]
[Younger brother?]
[It doesn't seem like it. Look at this room, it doesn't look like a young master's room.]
[The director has really pulled out all the stops this time.]
[Is this a succession dispute?]
………………
"Your brother?" Gu Yunlan looked at Xu Wang in shock.
Xu Wang shook his head: "That's not right. If he's my brother, then why is he living such a miserable life?"
“Yes, and the servant only addressed Xu Wang as ‘Young Master.’ If there were a second young master, he should have addressed Xu Wang as ‘Eldest Young Master’ or ‘Several Young Masters.’” Qin Huai nodded in agreement.
"Do you think it's possible that Yunxi is Xu Wang's half-brother, and that the Duke had a history of affairs when he was young?"
"No wonder you're a novelist, now that you mention it, it really is possible." Gu Yunlan gave Xia Yu a thumbs up.
"Based on the current situation, Yunxi knows his own identity and that the owner of this castle, the Duke, is his biological father, but he has not chosen to acknowledge him." Xu Wang summarized the current clues about Yunxi.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions became strange; it seemed that Yunxi was acting strangely.
Yunxi understood, of course: "No, do you think it's possible that I don't care about his money?"
A crow flew by in the air.
"Okay, I admit what I said wasn't very realistic." Yunxi lowered her head.
"Do you think it's possible that the Duke abandoned them when he was young, and Yunxi sneaked into the manor without acknowledging them in order to find an opportunity to take revenge on the man who abandoned them?" Xia Yu's imagination ran wild again.
"Impossible, impossible." Yunxi quickly waved her hand. After he said that, her suspicion level rose sharply, and she was now ranked number one.
“No, very likely,” Xu Wang interrupted Yunxi.
Pei Yanchuan cooperated by flipping the photo over. On the back of the photo were written a few words: Mother, Me, and Father. The word "Father" was marked with a big X.
Yunxi froze, realizing she was truly in deep trouble now.
Just as everyone was deep in thought, there was a knock on the door.
"Young Master, Duke Pei, lunch is ready." A maid's voice came from outside the door.
The group then realized that after a quick search of three rooms, it was already noon.
"Understood," Xu Wang replied.
"How about we go have lunch first and continue the investigation this afternoon?" Xu Wang's suggestion was met with everyone's approval.
Inside the restaurant, a huge table was set with plates of exquisite food, mainly meat dishes, which suited Xu Wang's taste perfectly.
Pei Yanchuan frowned. If things continued like this for the next few days, it wouldn't do. He would have to make Xiao Wang a glass of vegetable juice tonight.
There were only two sets of tableware prepared on the table, so Xu Wang asked the NPC to bring up a few more sets.
Everyone enjoyed lunch, especially Xu Wang, who found the food absolutely delicious.
Pei Yanchuan, sitting opposite Xu Wang, shook his head helplessly.
After a one-hour break at noon, the live stream resumed.
This time, they opened the door to the room on the second floor.
As soon as the door opened, an air of wealth wafted out. On the table were vases with gold rims, filled with fresh roses, some still glistening with dew.
The photo frame next to the bed made everyone realize that this was Xu Wang's room.
"My goodness, the rooms upstairs are the size of five or six rooms downstairs!" Yunxi couldn't help but exclaim.
"After all, this is the master's room." Gu Yunlan looked at the huge desk and bookshelf in front of her, which were obviously very valuable.
Qin Huai opened the drawer of the table, and a bloodline test report came into view.
Several people quickly surrounded them.
Qin Huai opened the paper in front of him and flipped to the last page. The final result was that Xu Wang was not the Duke's biological child.
Qin Huai raised his head.
Xu Wang, who was directly opposite Qin Huai, also looked up.
"So I'm the sole heir to the throne!"
“He’s my dad.” Yunxi’s eyes widened.
