Tianlong: Starting with Mantuo Manor as fertilizer

Chapter 69 Misunderstanding

Why did you greet someone's mother right away?

The local elites are so rude!

Xie couldn't help but retort.

How is your mother?

Duan Zhengchun was taken aback when he heard that Xie should inquire about his mother, but he quickly understood the deeper meaning behind it.

This child is filial!

He even knows how to care for his grandma!

He grew up in the mountains and fields, so it's normal that he doesn't know etiquette.

Now that he's at the Prince's residence, I'll have to teach him properly.

Duan Zhengchun sighed.

"Alas, child, you are too late. Your grandmother has already passed away."

My grandmother?

Xie Buruo then realized why Duan Zhengchun had greeted his mother right away.

So after all that, he wants to be my father!

Outrageous!

Xie has already figured it out.

Duan Zhengchun must have seen that the arrow he fired belonged to Qin Hongmian, which led to the misunderstanding.

If it's a misunderstanding, it's easy to handle; just clarify it.

He was about to speak when Mu Wanqing interrupted him.

Mu Wanqing didn't look at Duan Zhengchun, but instead looked at Xie Buruo.

"You really are my brother!"

When she was captured on a boat on Taihu Lake, she had this suspicion, but it was denied by the other side.

As soon as he finished speaking...

Duan Zhengchun suddenly turned his head to look at Mu Wanqing and examined her carefully.

"So alike, so very alike!"

Xie Buruo could no longer bear it.

"Looks like everything? Have you even seen what she looks like? She hasn't even taken off her veil yet, how do you know if she looks like someone else!"

Duan Zhengchun nodded, finding the words reasonable, and immediately adopted his opinion.

He strode forward, about to remove Mu Wanqing's veil.

This really angered Mu Wanqing, who raised her hand and grabbed the trigger mechanism of the hidden arrow.

"What do you want to do!"

Duan Zhengchun was both surprised and delighted, his eyes shining.

"They're so alike! Just like Hongmian! How have you siblings been all these years?"

Xie Buruo and Mu Wanqing spoke in unison.

"not good!"

"wrong!"

"no!"

The two started talking at once.

One of them claimed his master was Yougu Ke, but didn't know who Qin Hongmian was.

One of them said that the two of them did not share the same master, and that he came from the Wuliang Northern Sect in Shanxi, and could not possibly be Qin Hongmian's child based on his age.

"Shanxi?"

Duan Zhengchun was slightly disappointed.

He didn't really have any girlfriends in Shanxi.

Xie Buruo breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that he had cleared himself of some suspicion.

She saw Wang Yuyan staring blankly.

This girl is highly educated and has much better speaking skills than Mu Wanqing.

Xie quickly pulled her over to explain.

Wang Yuyan nodded.

She briefly explained what had happened.

"Back then, after Young Master Xie tied up Sister Mu, he told me personally, 'If I were her brother, you'd be the one tied to the chair right now.'"

She imitated Xie Buruo's tone perfectly.

Xie Buruo nodded vigorously, expressing his approval and appreciation for her memory.

Wang Yuyan suddenly changed the subject.

"but----"

"But what?!"

Duan Zhengchun and others were very interested in this.

Xie Buruo sensed that the situation was not good.

Thinking of her past, Wang Yuyan lowered her head and rubbed the hem of her clothes, too embarrassed to continue.

Mu Wanqing, however, was unusually shrewd.

"Oh, I understand!"

"But he might also be your brother, so it's not surprising that he tied me to the chair!"

Ba Tianshi let out an "Ah".

Judging from the situation, these three people outside the door today seem to be Duan Wangye's sons.

He couldn't help but glance at the black rose.

I figured this horse couldn't possibly have any relation to Prince Duan.

Black Rose impatiently raised her hoof and exhaled a heavy breath from her nostrils, seemingly sensing Ba Tianshi's malice.

"Is he also your brother?"

Prince Duan was both surprised and delighted, but Wang Yuyan was also wearing a veil. Learning from his previous experience, he did not directly say that she resembled him.

Of course, he still doesn't know which of his lovers Wang Yuyan resembles.

Seeing that the attention had shifted away from him, Xie Buruo quickly took out the wooden box from his arms and explained his purpose.

After handing the letters and musical scores to Duan Zhengchun, he put the box back in his own pocket and embezzled it.

After handing it in, he said something.

"It was sent to me by Lady Wang of Suzhou."

He then pointed to Wang Yuyan.

"This is Madam Wang's daughter; her birth date and time are included in the letter."

Wang Yuyan then removed her veil, revealing her true face.

Duan Zhengchun's eyes were filled with tears as he repeatedly uttered the word "similar".

Just then.

With a creak, the gate of the Prince's Mansion was suddenly pulled open from the inside.

The gatekeeper waved his hand, leading a group of guards and servants, wielding clubs, and shouted, "Brothers, charge!"

It turned out that he had already heard Xie Buru shoot an arrow at the door, but since he didn't know how to fight, he had no choice but to go into the mansion to call for help.

Now that everyone had gathered, they opened the gate, ready to fight Xie Buruo to the death.

When the gate opened, they found Prince Duan and the others standing at the entrance, their expressions solemn, as if something major had happened.

Then Duan Zhengchun gave the order to welcome Xie Buruo and the other two into his mansion and host a banquet. Even the black rose was treated as a VIP.

Although only a few people were present at the scene in front of the Prince's Mansion.

But Ba Tianshi is not someone who can keep a secret.

Soon, everyone in the Prince's mansion knew about it.

Another servant ran off to the palace to deliver the message.

The gatekeeper was filled with remorse, stamping his feet and lamenting.

"Oh dear, how did I manage to offend three masters in one day?"

The servants nearby tried to comfort him.

"Two, I heard the man wasn't one."

Once bitten by a snake, a gatekeeper will be afraid of a well rope for ten years.

"How do you know it's not true? It's better to believe it's true than not to believe it's not."

It was at this moment.

Zhong Wanchou's messenger has arrived.

The man swaggered to the gate of the Prince's mansion and tossed a letter to the gatekeeper.

"A letter from my master to the prince!"

"Another messenger?"

If this had happened half an hour earlier, the gatekeeper would have beaten the messenger out with sticks.

But at that moment, he saw everyone as Prince Duan's illegitimate son, and so he politely delivered the message.

The messenger didn't leave; he stood boldly at the entrance of the Prince's mansion with his hands behind his back, waiting for Prince Duan to reply.

at the banquet.

After inquiring about the situations of Wang Yuyan and Mu Wanqing, Duan Zhengchun turned his attention to Xie Buruo.

Xie was somewhat annoyed.

I've only heard that impersonating a member of the royal family will result in a thorough investigation of one's identity.

Why should we investigate so thoroughly even if they don't admit it?

What kind of world is this!

Duan Zhengchun asked, "Young Master Xie, is your ancestral home in Shanxi?"

Xie Buruo replied, "No, my hometown seems to be near Dengfeng."

The original owner never met her parents, who were said to have passed away long ago.

I lived for a period of time in either Kangjia Village or Qiaojia Village in Dengfeng.

I was too young and my memory is hazy, so I can't remember.

Later, he went to Shanxi with his relatives to make a living, and by chance, he became a disciple of the Wuliang Northern School.

Duan Zhengchun's eyes lit up when he heard the words "Dengfeng," as he had many lovers in the Henan area.

He silently recalled the name of his confidante in his heart.

Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li; Zhou, Wu, Zheng, Wang ———

阮！

Duan Zhengchun blurted it out.

"It's Xingzhu's son! They look alike!"

That's like a fart!

Xie Buruo, unable to bear Duan Zhengchun's torment any longer, decided to expose his past and shut him up.

"Ruan Xingzhu has no sons, only two daughters, one named Azhu and the other Azi. They are like stars in the sky, shining brightly and forever, bringing peace to Chang'an."

Duan Zhengchun once gave Ruan Xingzhu a love token lock, one of which was engraved with "Stars in the sky, twinkling brightly".

Hearing Xie Buruo say this, how could he not believe it?

He stared blankly into thought and said, "So Xingzhu gave birth to two daughters for me."

Just as Duan Zhengchun's anger subsided, Wang Yuyan reappeared, saying to Xie Buruo.

"Is there absolutely no possibility at all?"

Xie Buruo instinctively wanted to refute, but then he remembered the original story of Ye Erniang.

Duan Zhengchun had so many female confidantes that he couldn't even remember them all.

Xie Buruo hesitated for a moment, but ultimately shook his head firmly.

What a coincidence!

Everyone at the banquet gasped in shock upon seeing this scene.

He hesitated!

Ba Tianshi was especially excited, glad that his visit to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion today was truly worthwhile.

A'Zhu is an acquaintance of Wang Yuyan.

Wang Yuyan remembered that Xie Buruo only mentioned that A Zhu was the daughter of Prince Duan, and never mentioned A Zi.

She loves reading and enjoys pondering things in her spare time.

Seeing Xie Buruo's hesitant expression and recalling his previous words, she racked her brains even more.

Is he still hiding something?

How does Young Master Xie know so much?

Why do they know so much about Prince Duan's family fortune?

Could it really be an illegitimate child?

Whether he and his mother harbored resentment or couldn't forget the abandonment of Prince Duan, they were still deeply affected.

Afterwards, through continuous investigation, both overt and covert, they finally uncovered all of Prince Duan's private affairs.

Otherwise, how could he know so much!

Wang Yuyan was no longer confused, and her eyes became clear.

She felt as if she had seen through everything and was close to the truth!

Duan Zhengchun also thought of this at almost the same time.

He looked up and met Wang Yuyan's clear eyes. He nodded slightly, feeling extremely gratified.

As expected of my and Qingluo's daughter, she is indeed exceptionally intelligent!

On the other hand, Yu'er is very good at studying, but he always seems a bit dull, unlike me at all!

Regarding the selection of Xie Buruo's mother, Duan Zhengchun mentally began to mentally assemble his army.

After much thought, a name came to mind.

Amin!

Kang Min was one of Duan Zhengchun's most memorable confidantes.

Coincidentally, Kang Min also lived near Henan.

Duan Zhengchun didn't plan to ask Xie Buruo directly.

No matter how much you ask, the other party won't admit it.

We still need to send someone to investigate!

While Duan and Wang were exchanging glances.

His other daughter, Mu Wanqing, was eating rice from a bowl.

Duan Zhengchun saw this and felt ashamed.

"Wanqing has suffered these past years!"

He then turned to Xie Buruo.

"I never imagined that Young Master Xie was Yu'er's sworn brother."

still?

only!

Seeing that Duan Zhengchun had returned to normal, Xie Buruo stopped asking about his background and didn't argue with him about the details.

"Indeed, I hit it off with Prince Duan at first sight. I didn't expect to arrive before them."

Duan Zhengchun said, "Yu'er must have been delayed at Yuxu Temple. He hasn't seen his mother for a long time."

The thought of his wife coming back made his head throb.

Suddenly, so many illegitimate daughters appeared in the manor.

The days ahead are probably going to be tough.

Just then, a servant hurried into the flower hall and presented a letter with both hands.
