Chapter 761 Could it be that his wife and son were both wrong?

Luo hurried forward and apologized to Xingxing on behalf of Pang Jinkang: "Please don't blame me, my son has been feeling a little unwell and dazed these days. I didn't mean to offend you, you are so beautiful and graceful. Please don't blame me, Princess."

Xing Xing said calmly: "It's okay."

Having said that, without even glancing at Pang Jinkang, he held Qing Shuang's hand and continued walking towards the mansion.

Pang Ruhai frowned, and fell behind Xing Xing a little. He lowered his voice and quickly told Luo: "Madam, what's wrong with you two today? If you are not feeling well, go and rest, otherwise it will be counterproductive!"

Luo wanted to tell Pang Ruhai about the suspicious similarities between the Princess Fusui and the merchant daughter of the Feng family, but Pang Ruhai obviously didn't have much time. After hurriedly giving her those instructions, he quickly caught up with Xingxing, put on a smile again, and led the way for Xingxing.

Luo's hand tightly grasped Pang Jinkang's arm.

Pang Jinkang cried out in pain, "Mom!"

Luo came to her senses and, without caring about her son's feelings, she lowered her voice and said, "...You heard her talking just now, too. It was the one with the surname Feng, right?"

Pang Jinkang became hesitant again at this moment. He instinctively didn't want to believe it - after all, if his sweetheart was a merchant girl, would he still have hope of staying with her, even if he had to take her by force?

But if his sweetheart is really the princess, then doesn't that mean he has no hope in this life? !

"Mother... I don't think so." Pang Jinkang's face turned pale and he lowered his voice, "This princess is much more frightening than Miss Feng."

In fact, Mrs. Luo was unwilling to believe that Princess Fusui was the merchant Feng Yongyong whom she once looked down upon.

After all, she forced him to be her concubine and sent people to disguise as bandits to kill them...

Luo shuddered!

She would rather that it was the merchant girl who was so bold as to pretend to be the princess!

"Really...you think she isn't?" Mrs. Luo also became hesitant.

"Well, it shouldn't be!" Pang Jinkang nodded heavily as he made the affirmative conclusion, as if he was trying to convince himself.

Luo's face looked a little better.

But her doubts were not completely dispelled. After cheering herself up, she took Pang Jinkang to catch up with Pang Ruhai and Xing Xing. With a smile on her face, she fulfilled her responsibilities as a hostess.

Of course, when no one else was looking, Luo's eyes were still full of inquiry and scrutiny when he looked at Xing Xing.

At the welcoming banquet, Pang Ruhai toasted Xing Xing and said, "Come to think of it, Princess, you came to our small town, but what do you want to do? I will do my best to help you!"

Xing Xing picked up the tea and said with a smile, "Pang Zhizhou is too polite. I came here just to enjoy the scenery. I happened to be nearby and heard that Jinghu Lake has beautiful scenery, so I thought of coming to take a look. I originally wanted to keep a low profile, but..."

Xing Xing paused, revealing a worried expression. "When I came here, I saw that the road was being checked very strictly. I thought something might have happened here, and it was not very peaceful. So I thought it would be more convenient to reveal my identity."

There was a flash of panic and nervousness in Pang Ruhai's eyes, but he had to appear calm on his face, not daring to let the other party notice anything unusual.

Pang Ruhai smiled and said, "It's because of this... Actually, a few bandits have escaped to our Anjiang territory. Those bandits are extremely cruel and have killed many people. For the safety of the people, the investigation is a little strict. I hope the princess will forgive me."

Xing Xing laughed and said, "Zhizhou Pang is really a good official who loves his people like his own children."

Pang Ruhai was so delighted to receive such compliments from Princess Fusui, who was a big hit with the emperor!

He smiled so hard that his teeth were invisible, and treated Xingxing even more attentively.

After the banquet, Pang Ruhai strongly invited Xingxing to stay at the prefectural mansion, saying that he had sent people to clean the yard.

Xing Xing thought about it and then agreed. Pang Ruhai and his wife Luo personally sent her to the guest house to rest.

When he came back, Pang Ruhai was even more excited and walked with a breeze.

Mrs. Luo became more and more anxious. When she returned to the main courtyard, she dismissed all the servants, took Pang Ruhai's hand, and called him "husband"!

But before Luo had the chance to say anything else, Pang Ruhai remembered Luo's previous abnormality.

Pang Ruhai turned to look at Luo, "Madam, I haven't asked you yet, what happened between you and Kang Er today?"

Pang Ruhai frowned, and he was a little dissatisfied. "Madam has always been very well behaved. How could she suddenly make such a big mistake?"

Luo's face also turned ugly: "Are you blaming me?"

Pang Ruhai sighed, came over and took Luo's hand: "Madam, I am not blaming you. It's just that you may not know that Princess Fusui is really favored by the emperor. If she only mentions me in front of the emperor, wouldn't it help me leave a good impression in front of the emperor?"

Luo knew it, but she still had a sullen face and didn't want to say anything.

Pang Ruhai began to make excuses for Luo: "I understand, Madam. Were you frightened by the corpses that appeared in front of the mansion today?... Madam, don't worry. You know, my grades have been very good in the past few years. It is very likely that I will improve further during the year-end evaluation. Perhaps my colleagues in the surrounding states and counties are jealous..."

Pang Ruhai did not mention the identities of the corpses.

He felt that his wife's mood was a little bad today, so he stopped talking about those frightening details.

Pang Ruhai coaxed Luo for a long time, and Luo finally whispered, "Husband, I didn't mean to be angry with you...I just..."

She gritted her teeth and said, "Do you think the woman who claimed to be Princess Fusui today is really Princess Fusui?"

Pang Ruhai frowned, "... Of course I have already asked people. When she passed through the city gate, she had the jade token of Princess Fusui in her hand, and those armored soldiers were guarding her. Who dares to pretend like this?... Moreover, when we entertained the princess, I also asked the chief clerk to help entertain those armored soldiers. They were indeed real soldiers in the army. Who do you think dares to fake it like this? Don't you want to give up your head? Don't you want to give up your whole family?"

Pang Ruhai thought that by saying this, he could ease his wife's anxiety, but Pang Ruhai suddenly realized that the more he said this, the more suspicious his wife's face became.

"Madam? What's going on?"

"Husband." Luo whispered, "I won't hide it from you... This Princess Fusui, her voice, her appearance... are a bit like that merchant girl Feng Yongyong."

"Feng Yongyong?" Pang Ruhai's expression changed when he heard the name.

"How is it possible--" Pang Ruhai blurted out, but before he finished his words, he remembered his only son Pang Jinkang's previous abnormal reaction.

It would be fine if only one person made the mistake, but could it be that his wife and son made the mistake at the same time?
