Chapter 751: It Can't Be Hid Forever

e did.In this way, Qian Tingxuan carried Xiao Yuge all the way to a nearby inn. Fortunately, this place was usually frequented by passing merchants, and there weren't many merchants today either. Ther...Xiao Yu Ge's words also allowed Xiao Zhan to calm down, but he still didn't want to believe that Fu'er would deceive him: "But, Xiao Gui'er was indeed poisoned after you left!"

"Father, I'm not the only one going to Plum Blossom Manor!" Xiao Yuge shook her head secretly, heartbroken. It seemed that people's hearts are always biased.

The words almost stunned Xiao Zhan in place, because at this time, he already knew what kind of person his biological daughter was, but he still couldn't believe it.

"Father, I left the manor a long time ago. Everything there has nothing to do with me anymore. That little Guier's existence is also unrelated to me. Why would I harm him What reason would I have to harm him Even if he returns to the Xiao family in the future, what does it have to do with me"

"No! Fu'er wouldn't do that! She's so kind, she wouldn't do that!" Xiao Zhan seemed to have understood something, but he still couldn't believe it. His beloved daughter, whom he had cherished since childhood, would actually poison his long-awaited son.

"Father, sometimes a person's surface is unclear. Do you think a kind person would spend a lot of money to hire the three biggest scoundrels in the capital to attempt to defile me Do you think a kind person would spend a lot of money to hire assassins to try and kill me repeatedly Do you think a kind person would distort right and wrong, for the sake of a mere position as Saintess, they would even be willing to abandon their own parents"

Xiao Yuge sneered. In her past life, she had kept silent and explained nothing, which led everyone to misunderstand her. This time around, she would no longer allow herself to be wrongly accused like before.

"You, you're telling the truth" Xiao Zhan's heart was trembling at this moment. He didn't seem to know who to believe. In his heart, he was unwilling to doubt the daughter who looked so gentle and kind. But the girl in front of him, Ge'er, although she had always been mischievous since childhood, had never done anything harmful or wicked. She did everything openly and honestly.

“Is it true or not, Father As the esteemed Prime Minister of a country, wouldn't you know with just one investigation” Xiao Yuge found this unbelievable. They were simply choosing to believe or disbelieve based on the lines under someone’s nose, without even bothering to investigate themselves!

"But Auntie Lan said it was you who threatened her, that's why she deliberately claimed that two children were switched at birth. What do you have to say about that" Xiao Zhan still refused to believe that all of this was Fu Er's doing.

"Father, please think carefully. When Lady Lan appeared at the Xiangfu, her expressions and eyes when she spoke were different from yesterday's. Compare them carefully. You have seen countless people, surely you can't tell true from false And what about that drop of blood Didn't you also see it Do you not trust your own ears and eyes" To be so blind and deaf to reality, how can you be the prime minister of a country

"But I checked F'er's hand, and there was indeed a scar on it..." Xiao Zhan had been suspicious, but when he saw the scar with his own eyes, he was confused again.

"Can a wound not be made afterwards" Xiao Yu Ge was speechless. Was this father blind in his old age He also admired Xiao Yu Fu's ruthlessness, truly cutting herself after the fact.

"Fe'er had no reason to do that." Xiao Zhan just couldn't believe Fe'er would become so scheming. He always wanted to find a reasonable excuse to absolve her.

"If it's for revenge, for me taking up her life for a decade or so, Father, do you think that reason is sufficient"

“This...” Xiao Zhan was speechless for a moment, but when he thought about how Xiao Guier almost lost his life, he couldn't get over it. That was his precious son after all: “I will send someone to investigate what happened to Xiao Guier, but if it is really your doing, then our father-daughter relationship ends here!” He issued a harsh warning, he could move anyone else, but he couldn't touch his beloved son.

“If Father wants to protect him well, then don’t rush to make him the heir of the Xiangfu. It’s best not to let anyone know his true identity, or hide him even deeper. Otherwise, this poisoning incident won't be the last.” She knew that Xiao Yufu had clearly wanted to use a knife to kill someone and frame her last time. Unfortunately, Xiao Yufu had calculated everything but hadn't figured out that she could antidote it.

“I will definitely protect him well and won’t let anyone hurt him or his mother again!” Xiao Zhan seemed to believe Xiao Yuge’s words at this moment, and was about to leave. He turned around, but found his wife standing not far away. He couldn’t help but be startled: “Wife, son…” He muttered in his heart, wondering how much of their conversation just now his wife had actually heard.

"Mother!" Seeing Mrs. Xiao, Xiao Yuge was also flustered. If Xiaogui'er's matter were exposed, the person who would be hurt the most would be her mother.

Mrs. Xiao seemed much calmer than usual. She walked slowly to Xiao Zhan's face and calmly asked, "Master, who are the mother and child of Xiao Gui What does it mean to let him acknowledge his ancestors and return to his family What does it mean for him to be the heir of the Xiangfu" Although she had mentally prepared herself, when this moment truly arrived, her heart was still trembling. She desperately hoped that her guess was wrong and that everything she just heard was false.

"I..." Xiao Zhan lowered his head at this moment, he was thinking about whether to confess to his wife.

"Ge'er, tell me, who are those mother and son from Plum Blossom Manor" Madam Xiao looked at Xiao Yuge, her expression seemingly giving her the answer she sought. At this moment, her heart shattered into pieces.

"Mother, I..." Seeing the pain in her mother's eyes, Xiao Yuge looked at Xiao Zhan with difficulty: he had caused this trouble, and he didn't dare to say anything

"Master, tell me the truth! Who are they I demand you speak!" Although Xiao Zhan held the position of Minister in the imperial court at the Xiangfu residence, most household matters were managed by his wife. She was accustomed to giving orders and wielding authority. She often acted with forcefulness.

But at this moment, she felt that this humiliation was like a slap in the face, fiercely striking her former pride and dignity. It hurt terribly, so much that her whole heart trembled.

Xiao Zhan dared not look into her eyes, his head hung low like a child who had done wrong. In reality, he was also pondering how to speak up, after all, this matter couldn't be concealed for long.

"Father, Mother, perhaps we should go inside and speak" Xiao Yuge knew that no matter what, her father was the Prime Minister. If they argued out here, it wouldn't be good if word got out.

Xiao Zhan pursed his lips and, with his hands clasped behind him, walked into Mingzhu Mansion. Perhaps he also knew that if they argued outside, he might not have a good ending tomorrow.

"Madam!" Qing Luo saw that both the old master and Madam had expressions that were slightly off, so she couldn't help but worry. She hurriedly asked someone to serve tea.

"Miss..."ss will personally interrogate her later!" She wasn't kind, but she wouldn't let anyone slander her without consequence."Jiang Qi, lock her up in the firewood house!" Shen Meihua also felt that someth...
