Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Wei Zizhan was the biological son of the Wei Family, and there was a chain birthmark on the sole of Wei Zizhan’s feet. How could Wei Zizhan be the Crown Prince who had been missing for several years?
“It was the magistrate who told me that the back of Heshi County’s government officials had been ma.s.sacred. The magistrate happened to be bringing people to the government office to clean up the mess. It can’t be wrong. He said that officials had taken him away. He also said that if he was really His Highness the Crown Prince, we wouldn’t dare to ask which p.a.w.nshop he had p.a.w.ned the jade pendant at. He told me to hurry back and tell you so that you would have a clue.”
“Wait a minute.” Mr. Zhang raised his hand and felt that the servant’s sentences were a little hurried. “What’s going on with the bloodbath at the back of the Heshi County government? Where did the jade pendant go?”
“l don’t know much about the ma.s.sacre in Heshi County either. 1 only know that the Wei family members are all dead. Wei Zizhan probably went to the p.a.w.n shop to redeem the jade pendant and escaped the calamity. A few officers died. I did see Wei Zizhan, but the jade pendant was taken by Wei Zizhan. You also instructed me to settle this matter with dignity, so 1 gave him hundred and fifty silver and asked him to redeem the jade pendant. Who knew that after waiting at the inn for a day, he still did not bring the jade pendant over? When I went to the office to look for him, 1 found out that the back of the county government had been ma.s.sacred. That was when I was told wei Zizhan was the crown prince.”
“Wei…” Teacher Zhang opened his mouth and was just about to say that Wei Zizhan couldn’t be His Highness the Crown Prince when another person came in from outside. He was also a servant of his family.
The servant cupped his hands and said, “Your future son-in-law has sent someone to deliver a letter. It seems to be an urgent matter. He is waiting outside at the moment.’
His future son-in-law was his student, Pei Dongyu.
“Hurry up and let them in,” Mr. Zhang said immediately.
“Yes.” The servant quickly went out, and then a servant was led in.
This servant was the Pei family’s servant. Because he knew how to ride a horse, Pei Dongyu had sent him to deliver the letter.
“Sir.” The servant took out the letter and cupped his hands as he delivered it.
Mr. Zhang quickly took it and opened it.
The letter mentioned that Wei Zizhan was His Highness the Crown Prince. He had been tested by blood and welcomed into the palace. However, he was narrow-minded. When he was at Shengming Academy, he had always been jealous of Xue Yan’s talent. He was very worried about Xue Yan and feared that Xue Yan would be in trouble. He hoped his teacher would quickly arrange for Xue Yan to change his ident.i.ty and go elsewhere.
There is also one more thing. The letter wrote that Xue Yan’s jade pendant was the dowry of the Empress. The Emperor used this jade pendant to find Wei
Zizhan.
After reading the letter, Mr. Zhang was shocked.
The servant didn’t quite understand. It was daytime, and although it was a little dark, it wasn’t enough to light a lamp. However, he still quickly lit a lamp and brought it over.
Mr. Zhang immediately placed the letter on the lamp and burned it.
Her heart was beating fast.
His eyelids were also a little swollen.
Could it be that Xue Yan… Was he the Crown Prince?
He had already tested his blood, but he was certain that Wei Zizhan was definitely the biological son of the Wei family… It seemed that either the blood test was inaccurate or someone had tampered with it.
No matter what, Xue Yan was most likely the Crown Prince.
Even if it wasn’t, he had to arrange for his student Xue Yan to leave. Now that Wei Zizhan had become the Crown Prince, no one could guarantee that Wei Zizhan would not do anything to Xue Yan.
With this thought in mind, Mister Zhang immediately instructed, “Prepare a carriage to Locust Village.”
“Yes, sir..”
