Wishful Things

"Girl... the young master in the front yard is really the grandson of King Dingnan! Prince Wu just came to the door to identify him! Now he is thanking the old man in the front hall!"

Last night, the girl suddenly told her that little brother Chongxi was the grandson of King Dingnan, and she also confessed that she had found out about it...God knows how uncertain she was at the time, for fear that someone would ask her about it!

Xu Mingyi just said "hmm" when he heard the words.

While helping her put on her shoes, Ah Kui asked in a low voice with an itchy heart: "Miss, how do you know?"

Recently, the girl has brought her too many surprises, and she can't finish asking. Right now, she can ask one by one.

"Guess."

Xu Mingyi put on her shoes and stood up, patted her on the head with a smile, then turned and walked towards the maid who was about to wash up.

"..." Ah Kui was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

I think she has read countless story books... How did she not guess that it would be such a plot of "an ordinary boy who was rescued has an amazing life experience, and he married a lady from your family by accident"?

No, no, the difference is that the matter of congratulations has been cancelled.

Ah Kui stopped her wild thoughts and hurriedly prepared a dress and jewelry for Xu Mingyi.

Soon someone passed on breakfast.

Xu Mingyi looked at the bowl of crystal clear ice powder on the dining table, and asked, "Where did this come from?"

"Back to the girl, the son bought it for the girl early in the morning."

Xu Mingyi couldn't help but remain silent.

Do the math, since the day she 'come back', she has eaten the ice powder bought tomorrow every day, even twice a day.

Fortunately, today was even arranged for her breakfast.

After getting married in her previous life, she once heard Wu Chao say, "Never praise her delicious food in front of your mother easily", and now she has just realized the true meaning of it——

It's just that her family is a boy tomorrow...

Xu Mingyi was half feeling helpless, half feeling heartwarming, picked up a spoon and delivered a spoonful of japonica porridge to his mouth.

Halfway through, Ah Zhu came back from the outside.

"girl."

She stood by the table and whispered: "After Liu Yi confessed his crime, he committed suicide in prison."

Ah Kui, who was serving Xu Mingyi's dishes, trembled while holding the long chopsticks, and looked at Ah Zhu nervously.

What should I do to scare the girl early in the morning by uttering such terrifying news without warning?

However, he saw his girl chewing the buns in her mouth without any change in her expression.

After swallowing, he calmly said: "I see."

Actually, she guessed that Yi Liuyi's temperament would choose to do this.

...

In the front yard, Lord Zhen Guo impatiently asked someone to see off the guests.

Even so, Wu Jingming, the son of King Dingnan, thanked him again and again before leaving with his worried son.

Many family members and people from various prefectures who heard the news and came to see the excitement had already surrounded the area outside the Duke of Zhen's mansion.

"Look, Prince Wu really brought a young man out..."

"The one saved by General Xu is actually the grandson of King Dingnan!"

"Didn't you say that it was just an ordinary country boy who brought it for Miss Xu to celebrate?" A servant woman in the Zhan's mansion next door said in surprise: "The girl Liu from the Xu family told me personally the day before yesterday. There's nothing wrong with it!"

"Miss Liu? Are you talking about the Liu family who poisoned and murdered Miss Xu?"

"What?! Poisoned and murdered Miss Xu?" The servant woman looked at the speaking woman in shock.

The woman glanced at her: "That's right! He has been arrested and sent to the Yamen to punish him! You are not good enough to inquire about the news now!"

Sitting in the carriage, Wu Chao's incessant discussions were gradually left behind.

"Where is it hurt?"

In the carriage, a thin middle-aged man wearing a fine silk blue shirt and a short beard checked the boy for any injuries.

Wu Chao pressed his hand, shook his head and said, "Father, I'm fine."

"Why didn't you come home so late?"

"If I don't come back, my father is still here." Wu Chaohun said indifferently.

"If I don't look for it again, the Wu family may really have a grandson who comes to celebrate for others--" Wu Jingming still felt palpitations and fear at the mention of this point.

The young man's tone was casual: "Duke Zhen saved my life, so why not really celebrate the Xu family."

Wu Jingming's beard trembled when he heard this—does he still have any dignity as a descendant of King Dingnan?

But Wu Chao's casual look changed, and he suddenly asked: "Father, have you found out the real origin of those bandits?"

"No abnormalities have been found so far, and Ningyang is still investigating secretly."

Wu Chao frowned and asked again: "The court didn't find anything either?"

The reason why he chose to live in the Zhen Guogong's mansion without spreading the news that he is still alive is to wait and see what happens, and see if there are any suspicious people jumping out.

Wu Jingming shook his head: "Either they are really just ordinary bandits, or the other party has acted too covertly and carefully."

"Father, could it be—" Wu Chao's eyes moved slightly, and he didn't finish his sentence.

"Probably not." Wu Jingming's voice was low and dignified: "Supposedly it wouldn't be so blatant."

Wu Chao nodded slightly.

During the past two days, he thought the same way.

Besides, a living person is always more useful than a dead one—a ready-made example of his father being the eldest son of the Dingnan Prince's Mansion, but being appointed to the Beijing Central Household Department.

But other than that, who else has the ability to be so leak-tight that they can hide from the investigation of the imperial court and Dingnan Palace?

"There must be a mole around me." Wu Chao said firmly, "Those drugs are used in a huge amount. If there is no internal response, the other party will never be able to get it so easily."

And it is very likely that it is his confidant——

A face flashed in front of his eyes, and Wu Chao asked, "Among the found corpses, is there Suishan?"

Wu Jingming sighed slightly.

"The people who accompanied you to Beijing this time all died on the spot. The bodies have been inspected by the local government, and they have been sent back to Ningyang for a proper burial."

"..." Wu Chao pursed his thin lips slightly.

Those are all loyal servants of the Wu family.

Thinking about it, if they hadn't fought to the death to protect each other, he wouldn't have been able to survive Duke Zhen's rescue.

Even so, the possibility of an internal rape cannot be ruled out.

He wanted to say something more, but Wu Jingming patted him on the shoulder: "Anyway, as long as my son is safe and sound. The rest of the matter will be investigated by members of the clan, and you can rest assured that you will take care of yourself."

She smiled again and said: "Your mother is still waiting in the mansion. She has already fallen ill because of your affairs these days - seeing you later, I am afraid that the illness will be cured by more than half."

"It's the son who made the parents worry."

Although his mother came to Beijing with his father a few years ago, and he often didn't see him several times a year, he was always clear about the love his father and mother had for him.

"This time is different from your usual troubles and mischief. You are the one who has really suffered a serious accident." Wu Jingming said: "And your aunt, who has repeatedly sent people to ask for news progress-soon will be your aunt's birthday Yan, you should take good care of your spirit, and she will feel at ease when she sees her... Also, when you enter the palace, you still need to be careful and observe the etiquette, don't be as unscrupulous as usual..."

Hearing his father start chattering, Wu Chao looked desperately at the roof of the car.

The Xu family girl is not the only one who is afraid of nagging...
