Bai Zhi couldn’t help but asked: “Daren, have you tried questioning the criminals?”

Prefectural Magistrate Yin was taken aback for a moment. He didn’t expect that a young man following Dongfang Mu and Prince Jin would suddenly ask him questions.

Only then did Pei Qinghan and Chu Feng notice that this little boy, who looked like 13 or 14 years old with extremely beautiful eyes. For Chu Feng, these eyes were very similar to Dongfang Mu’s eyes.

In Pei Qinghan’s point of view, he seemed to see another Dongfang Wan. The little boy’s eyes were like Dongfang Wan’s eyes, bright and shining like stars in the sky, it was breathtakingly beautiful.

What more strange was, this young man’s eyes were very similar to Dongfang Wan, but his nose and lips were similar to him.

 

Is there such a coincidence in the world?

Prefectural Magistrate Yin shook his head: “I haven’t, according to the rules, they should be questioned tomorrow, but they are now—”

Hu Feng coldly snorted: “I’m afraid someone doesn’t want the trial day to come!” When he spoke, his cold eyes fell on Chu Feng and Pei Qinghan.

Chu Feng pretended not to see his gaze, he turned around and said goodbye to Prefectural Magistrate Yin and Dongfang Mu. Then, went out straight without even looking at Hu Feng.

 

Pei Qinghan also anxiously followed. However, before he left, he looked back at the young man. Coincidentally, the young man was also looking at him. When their pair of eyes stared at each other, a strange feeling erupted in his heart. He couldn’t tell what he was feeling, it was very peculiar.

On the way back to Dongfang Family Mansion, Bai Zhi sighed several times: “I’m still one step late.”

Hu Feng said: “Appearing there today already prove that this matter has something to do with them. But looking at Pei Qinghan’s appearance when he saw Zhi’er, it looks like he doesn’t know the truth.”

Bai Zhi nodded: “Yes, I guess the mastermind behind the scene is Bai Zhenzhu. But now that something happened, Pei Qinghan had to come forward to clean things up, and Chu Feng was also dragged into it. Well, who asks him to get Bai Zhenzhu?”

Dongfang Mu sneered: “I really can’t wait to see what happen when Bai Zhenzhu and Pei Qinghan’s plan is revealed. It should be very exciting!”

When Pei Qinghan returned to Houfu, he immediately let people find the midwife who helped Dongfang Wan gave birth.

 

The midwife was brought by Concubine Xiang, so now only she knows the whereabouts of this midwife. And so, this matter was naturally passed to Concubine Xiang.

Concubine Xiang asked the housekeeper: “Why is Houye suddenly looking for this midwife?”

 

The housekeeper shook his head: “This slave doesn’t know. When he came back, he just ordered to find this person, he didn’t say anything else.”

After thinking for a while, Concubine Xiang took the brush to write down an address. While handing the paper, she said to the housekeeper in a low voice: “Bring her to me before taking her to see Houye.” Then, she turned to the maidservant beside her. After winking, the maidservant immediately handed the ingot to the housekeeper.

 

The housekeeper went out happily. While Concubine Xiang kept staring at the housekeeper, her expression gradually becomes anxious. At this moment, Pei Qinghan suddenly sent someone to look for the midwife. Did he know what she did?

If what happened that time comes to light, what would happen to her?

She didn’t dare to think about it. She was very flustered.

An hour later, the midwife arrived at the Houfu. The housekeeper brought the midwife to Concubine Xiang’s residence first according to her instructions.

The midwife recognized Concubine Xiang at a glance. Although more than 10 years have passed, Concubine Xiang didn’t change much. She still looked very beautiful.

Concubine Xiang said: “Wu Mama, what happened back then, you and I know it very clear in our hearts. Today, I didn’t look for you, it is Houye, who is looking for you. I don’t know what he wanted to ask, but I think you should know what words you should say and whatnot.”
