Chapter 135 Could it be that the two of them are having an affair?
Xie Ying held her breath and concentrated, trying hard to prick up her ears.
But his eyes were darting around.
She was held in the arms of the eldest princess and could clearly see the people around her who refused to leave.
Their faces were full of gossip and curiosity, and some were already whispering about it. It was obvious that they were a group of onlookers who were eager to watch the fun and stir up trouble.
Xie Ying couldn't help but laugh in her heart.
Soon, however, she saw an unusual carriage.
Although the carriage was not as luxurious as the eldest princess's, it was made in a very simple and elegant style, and the materials used were also excellent. It was obvious that it came from a wealthy family.
Xie Ying immediately became worried: Who was the person sitting in the carriage outside the Ministry of Justice at this time?
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw a slender jade-like hand lift the car curtain, and then a handsome man walked out of the car.
Xie Ying immediately looked around.
I have never seen this person before, but he has a very good appearance and a pair of peach blossom eyes that can make even a dog look at him with deep affection. I don’t know what he wants to do by suddenly getting off the car at this time.
Soon, she knew the other party's purpose.
Because this person actually walked straight towards them.
Xie Ying immediately became alert: Is this person coming for the eldest princess?
She couldn't help but turn her head to look at the eldest princess, and then at Situ Yuan who was standing next to her.
Situ Yuan did not let anyone hold him, but just followed the eldest princess silently.
However, just as the man walked over, she clearly saw that Situ Yuan became as alert as she was.
His eyes were still a little cold.
Xie Ying quickly looked at the man again, only to see that he was only five steps away from her.
Then getting closer and closer.
His face was covered with a smile that made people feel like they were bathed in the spring breeze. His peach blossom eyes looked at Xie Ying with a smile, and then he bowed to the princess and said, "Chen Shou greets Her Royal Highness. I believe that the one Her Royal Highness is holding is the lucky young lady of the Xie family, right?"
Xie Ying looked at Chen Shou in surprise: [You are actually Chen Shou? The stud's biological father? Xu Maochun's biological uncle, Chen Fang's half-brother? Duke Cheng'en's most outstanding offspring? The man who almost married the eldest princess?]
Situ Yuan: “!!!”
Tu Jiaojiao and Xie Xiu, who were standing not far away, exclaimed: "!!!"
And Tu Yong and Liu Zhichun standing behind the crowd: "!!!"
The five of them almost looked at Chen Shou at the same time.
The eldest princess, however, had a calm expression and a nonchalant attitude. She simply said politely, "Yingying is indeed my lucky star. But why did you come here so suddenly?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Situ Yuan suddenly spoke up, "I heard that Xu Maochun is actually the son of Duke Cheng'en. So he's your biological brother? Did you come here because you were worried about him?"
The smile on Chen Shou's face froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered. He looked down at Situ Yuan and said gently, "It turns out that the young master has also heard the rumors outside. Those are just rumors made up by someone, and they are not to be taken seriously.
Xu Maochun is not my father's son, and he is naturally not my brother. His biological father is a groom in the Cheng'en Mansion.
I just don't know who is spreading rumors and deliberately slandering my father. The young master has always been smart, so I think he must be able to judge people and would never believe rumors, right?
Xie Ying couldn't help laughing.
Chen Shou's words might be used to fool ordinary children, but he actually used them to fool Situ Yuan.
Situ Yuan is a person with special brain abilities. Playing tricks with his brain is like showing off your sword in front of Guan Gong, asking for trouble.
Sure enough, Situ Yuan quickly said, "But you look a lot like him."
His tone still carried the innocence of a child, but when he said this, the eyes of the people around who were reluctant to leave lit up instantly. They stared at Chen Shou with burning eyes, looking him up and down, wishing they could use a ruler to compare the degree of similarity between him and Xu Maochun.
In fact, the two people are not very similar, and if you look carefully, you can find some similarities between good-looking people even if they are not related by blood.
Now that Situ Yuan's innocent words had come out, everyone had a preconceived notion. When they looked at Chen Shou again, they couldn't help but feel that he did have some similarities with Xu Maochun.
Xie Ying could even hear someone excitedly whispering—
"Look, this Prince Cheng'en really looks a lot like Xu Maochun!"
"I've noticed a long time ago that their noses are similar, their eyebrows are similar, and even their face shapes are similar!"
"I think their mouths are a bit similar too!"
“I think the ears look the most like it!”
"That's right! They look so alike, who would believe they aren't brothers?"
"If that's the case, then isn't Xu Maochun really pitiful? He's clearly the son of Duke Cheng'en, but he's not recognized and can only be a servant. Now he's being sentenced to death! How tragic!"
"That may not be the case. Didn't you hear? He said earlier that he wanted to atone for his crimes with his merits. He also knows the location of the enemy's spies, so maybe he won't have to die."
"He committed such a serious crime and killed two people, so are we just going to let it go like this?"
"We definitely can't let it go like this. Even if he can be spared from death, he will definitely be punished alive."
These people spoke very quietly, and once they noticed Chen Shou looking at them, they immediately lowered their heads, for fear that he would remember their faces.
Chen Shou glanced at these people calmly, as if he hadn't heard anything. He continued to smile and said to Situ Yuan, "Young Master, you know, in this world, just because you look alike doesn't mean you're blood relatives."
Situ Yuan blinked in confusion: "Do you look like Lord Cheng'en?"
The smile on Chen Shou's face froze again: "!!!"
How could he respond to this?
However, he quickly recovered as usual, still smiling brightly: "I am my father's legitimate son, so naturally I look like him."
Naturally, the people present would not doubt his background, so no one took Situ Yuan's words to heart, just thinking that he was a child who was ignorant and said whatever he wanted.
Xie Ying's imagination was running wild: [It's true that Chen Shou is Duke Cheng'en's biological son, but what if Empress Chen isn't Duke Cheng'en's biological daughter? Could they be having an affair?]
Situ Yuan: “!!!”
Tu Jiaojiao and Xie Xiu, who were not far away, said: "!!!"
Xie Ying's wild imagination made Tu Jiaojiao and the others break out in cold sweats!
Situ Yuan didn't break out in a cold sweat, but he looked at Chen Shou deeply.
Chen Shou was inexplicably alert: Why did he feel that there was something wrong with the way this young master looked at him?
He smiled and asked tentatively: "Why are you looking at me, young master?"
