A car accident, our family of three crossed

Chapter 206: Keep this a secret for now

"Then, we..."

The brothers Chu Zheng and Chu Fang stood up and tried to leave, but Xiao Yun said, "It's okay for you to stay, cousin. You will know about this sooner or later."

The two brothers looked at their grandfather and father again, and the eldest master said, "In that case, you should stay and listen!"

After getting permission, the two of them sat back in their seats and sat upright.

Xiao Yun was making up his mind, and he hesitated several times, still not knowing how to start.

"Your Highness, do you have any difficulties? Feel free to speak up." The old Duke assured, "Please rest assured, Tingfeng is guarding outside the courtyard. Nothing of the conversation in the study today will be leaked."

Xiao Yun knew that the old man was wrong, and quickly explained: "Of course I can trust the guards of the Duke's Mansion. I just don't know where to start. This matter is somewhat coincidental. Grandfather, uncle, you should be mentally prepared."

"Hahaha! What kind of storms have your grandfather and uncle not experienced?" Master Chu took a big sip of tea and laughed heartily. "Your Highness, if you have something to say, just say it. I want to hear what the big deal is."

Even if His Majesty was about to pass away, he did not think it was a big deal. He was curious about what could be more serious than His Majesty's death.

However, a quarter of an hour later...

Master Chu's teacup almost slipped from his hands, with a look of disbelief on his face, "What, you, what you said is true?" He looked at the old Duke with a little excitement, "Father..."

The old Duke sat calmly in the main seat on the other side and glanced at the eldest master. He was already in his sixties, but he could still lose his composure in front of the younger generation. How could he be so ridiculous.

However, only the old Duke knew how excited he was at the moment. "This matter is of great importance. Has Your Highness verified it?"

"The child is wearing the jade pendant that I gave to my mother. Besides, Chu Yi found a portrait in the Hang family. Even if it is wearing a veil, I will not mistake it."

"Where is the portrait?" The master's face was full of hope.

Xiao Yun shook his head. "To avoid unnecessary trouble, I burned the portrait."

"Burned?"

The eldest master felt a little regretful, but the old Duke said, "It is too hasty to draw a conclusion based on just a jade pendant and a portrait."

"Yes, I thought so at the time." Xiao Yun nodded and agreed with the old Duke's statement, and then continued: "Therefore, I asked Chu Yi to secretly investigate along the footsteps of Song Xiucai when he left his hometown to study. After two months, he returned to the capital a few days ago."

No wonder Chu Yi was not seen following Prince Rui when he went out a while ago. It turned out that he went to investigate this matter.

Before Xiao Yun could continue, the old Duke shouted to the door, "Chu Yi, come in and answer the question."

Chu Yi heard this and walked into the study, bowed and said, "Duke, General."

"Tell me everything you have found out in the past two months, no matter how big or small." Master Chu was a little impatient.

Chu Yi glanced at his master and when he nodded, he reported the results of his investigation in the past two months one by one.

After listening to Chu Yi's report, the four Chu family members in the study were all restless for a long time. The old Duke and the eldest master Chu were relatively calm, but the brothers Chu Zheng and Chu Fang were so shocked that they were speechless.

After a long time...

"Good, good! That's great!" The old Duke said three good words in a row, breaking the silence in the study, "God has eyes, please protect the descendants of the Chu family!"

Chu Fang recalled that he had seen that child from afar on the streets of Pingyang County. Thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have discovered something incredible. "Cousin, I felt like I had seen that child somewhere before. Now I remember that child looks a lot like you when you were a child!"

When Chu Yi heard this, he remembered that he originally thought that Yang Yang was the illegitimate son of his master, and he couldn't help but smile. He didn't dare to say such a thing out loud, so he bowed and quietly retreated.

After the old prince calmed down his agitated emotions, he slowly said, "Don't make this matter public for now. No one else can know what happened in the study today, especially your grandmother."

"Don't worry, grandpa. I know the importance of this."

He said this mainly to remind the brothers Chu Zheng and Chu Fang, for fear that they might let the cat out of the bag.

Xiao Yun agreed, "Grandfather is right. It is not appropriate for too many people to know about this for the time being."

He was afraid to let the old lady know about this. Besides being too excited and easily sad, he was also worried that she would not be able to help but want to send someone to bring Song Ning and her son to the capital immediately.

The identities of mother and son are special and should not be exposed for the time being. At least while the person in the palace is still in power, their identities cannot be known to the world. That would be a disaster for them.

"In addition, there is one more thing." Xiao Yun smiled, "This is a coincidence." He talked about the relationship between Old Man Xin and the Hang family by chance again. He still found it incredible that there was such a coincidence in the world.

"Sometimes, things in this world are really just coincidences!"

The previous moment, the old Duke was still marveling at the coincidences in the world, and the next moment, when he heard that the old man was so disrespectful as to dig up someone's grave in order to confirm the identity of Mr. Song's wife.

"What a bastard! This old man actually did such a thing. I will definitely go talk to him tomorrow."

"Father, calm down." Master Chu said at the side, "Mr. Xin did this to confirm my sister's identity. Now that we have the old man's confirmation, there is no doubt about it."

"Humph!"

The old Duke sneered angrily and seemed to have temporarily accepted this statement.

Then, he became very curious about the granddaughter and grandson whom he had never met, and asked many questions about them.

Xiao Yun briefly recounted some of his feelings about getting along with the three members of the Hang family when he was recuperating there, which made the old Duke feel itchy to listen.

He thought that even that old bastard Old Man Xin had seen them, but he, a serious elder, had not yet seen them.

He was jealous! Even Chu Fang, who had also seen Song Ning and her son, felt extremely displeased.

In addition, Xiao Yun told several people about some of the things that happened in Pingyang County surrounding Hang Shuheng, including the confiscation of the Wan family's property.

"The amount of assets seized from the Wan family is quite huge. I have secretly operated to transport those assets to the northwest. It should not take long for them to be handed over to my second uncle."

After hearing about Hang Shuheng's deeds, the old Duke couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh, "Hahahaha, this young man is really to my taste. I really want to meet them sooner."

"Grandfather, there is no need to rush. In my opinion, with his talent, he will be able to pass the exam and come to the capital next spring."

The old Duke calculated the time in his mind. The Spring Examination is held every three years. It was just held this spring. So he would have to wait another three years before the Spring Examination. It seemed a bit long...
