After receiving the report, I felt that something was not quite right. So, I sent people to further investigate the man with the surname Liu, only to find that he had close connections with a distant cousin of Duke Zhens son, Madam
Xue.
Therefore, I suspect that the child born to the prostitute isnt dead.
Heh, Duke of Zhens household?
The enchanting young man with eyes rimmed in three shades of evil let out a cold chuckle, filled with obvious sarcasm.
B0xo.comSince a century, there has been no female born in Duke Zhens household; five years ago, the birth of the eldest granddaughter alarmed the whole Capital City. Almost all the high-ranking officials and powerful families visited to offer their congratulations.
The hundredth-day banquet was even more extravagant, with invitations spanning the entire world and feasts lasting three full days and nights.
If that girl turns out to be Duke Zhens real granddaughter, I would like to see the expressions on the faces of Wei Kingdoms heroes when the truth comes out.
The Duke of Zhens household is famously infatuated with their granddaughter.
Luo Zhan smiled wryly, revealing a hint of mockery: But that little girl has been pampered and indulged so much that shes become arrogant. At merely five years old, she enjoys whipping people and has seven older brothers protecting her. No one dares to provoke her. At this rate, it wont be long before she brings disaster upon herself.
What a pity, shes bright and clever, a genuinely rare talent.
The young mans brow rose in disappointment: But, alas, shes Duke Zhens granddaughter, and thus beyond our control.
Pavilion Masters discerning eye!
Luo Zhan shared the sentiment: Little Qingluo has extraordinary abilities and will surely shine brightly when shes older. Its only a matter of time before the Duke Zhens household suspects something and claims her as their own. It isnt easy for Thousand-Mechanism Pavilion to oppose the Duke Zhens family, let alone take their child.
Little Qingluo?
The young man suddenly showed a wicked smile: Luo Zhan, it seems you have taken quite a liking to that young girl.
Luo Zhans face changed instantly as he fell to one knee: This subordinate wouldnt dare!
Get up.
Three shades of mischief flashed across the young mans eyes: Since you think highly of her, try to get closer to her. Even if we cant win her over, gaining her goodwill will still be beneficial and harmless to our plans.
Subordinate obeys!
Luo Zhan rose as instructed, his back drenched in cold sweat.
Meanwhile, in Capital City, Imperial Court.
A report detailing Su Qingluos origins, almost identical to Luo Zhans, was sent to deputy chief Xu Yunrus hands.
Xu Yunru tore open the secret letter, scanned its content, and her expression grew somber.
After a long period of contemplation, she quietly sighed and ordered her subordinates: Leave it at this. Theres no need to investigate any further.
Deputy Chief Xu, why?
The female official in charge of the investigation asked without understanding, insisting on a response.
Having spent much effort to find these useful clues, she couldnt accept giving up halfway.
We must tread carefully when involving the Duke of Zhens household.
Xu Yunru sighed with regret: If she is truly their relative, its fine. But if we make a mistake and slander the family of a meritorious minister, we cannot bear such a crime.
The female official argued firmly: If evil people have replaced the real girl and caused an innocent child to be displaced, wouldnt we be complicit in their wrongdoing if we dont continue the investigation?
Xu Yunrus eyes darkened, revealing a hint of ferocity: I understand the situation. Youre not to question this any further.
Yes!
The female official snapped to attention, not daring to argue any further. She bowed and left the room.
Xu Yunru watched her subordinate leave with cold eyes, walked over to the table, took out a piece of note paper from beneath the scroll, and began writing with a pen and ink stick.
After drying the ink, she rolled up the paper and walked over to the window.
She whistled softly, and a carrier pigeon flew in, landing on the window ledge..
