Yuan Xi saw people coming and going in the yard behind him, then looked inside the house and said, "Can I go in and talk?"
Mrs. Wu bit her lip and dug her fingers into the door until her fingertips turned white. Finally, she let go of her hand and said softly: "Your Majesty, please come in."
Cao Xian took Cao Jie and hid in a corner far away. When he saw Yuan Xi entering Mrs. Wu's door, he couldn't help but click his tongue.
Cao Jie asked doubtfully: "Sister wants to see it, why don't you go in and see it?"
Cao Xian patted Cao Jie's head gently and said, "What do children know? There's no need to watch now."
Cao Jie covered his head, half understanding, then heard Cao Xian's interest waning, "It's over, it's over. I thought there was a good show, but this is what happened?"
"I guess I won't be able to get out soon. I..."
Before she could finish speaking, someone hit her on the head. Cao Xian turned around and saw Cai Zhaoji standing behind him, saying to himself: "Why did you take care of your sister? Is this allowed to be said?"
"What if it reaches Madam's ears?"
"Stop spying on others all day long and go back to the house quickly!"
Cao Xian pulled Cao Jie and walked back angrily. He suddenly realized: "Why is it such a coincidence that Sister Zhaoji happens to be here?"
Cai Zhaoji's face turned stiff for a moment, Cao Xian chuckled, and ran away with Cao Jie.
In the room, Mrs. Wu covered her clothes and asked Yuan Xi to sit down first. When she turned around, she found that her daughter was holding a piece of pine ink and smelling it. She was also babbling in her mouth and said: "Smells, (╯▽╰) It smells so good~~"
Madam Wu took Song Mo out of her daughter's hand and held her in her arms, but she heard Yuan Xi say: "Madam, have you given a name to your daughter?"
Mrs. Wu hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Not yet."
Yuan Xi tapped his fingers on the couch beneath him and said, "In that case, I have thought of a good name."
"Seeing as this child likes fragrance so much, how about calling her Shang Xiang?"
Mrs. Wu's face instantly turned pale as if struck by thunder.
She raised her head and said harshly: "This is impossible!"
As soon as Yuan Xi's words came out, Mrs. Wu knew that her identity was exposed.
But she never thought that Yuan Xi would know her daughter's name!
Because only the closest people such as parents and brothers know a girl's maiden name. Her daughter Sun Shangxiang was named less than a year ago and only Mrs. Wu and Sun Ce know it. How could Yuan Xi know about it?
Mrs. Wu felt more and more out of breath, she couldn't figure it out at all!
To say that his identity was exposed, it was possible that Yuan Xi summoned the common people and soldiers in the city to interrogate him, but he didn't ask him to the point where he even knew his daughter's name?
Could it be just a coincidence and Yuan Xi just said it casually?
Don't leave it to chance, it could be such a coincidence!
Mrs. Wu was so depressed that she wanted to vomit blood. She really didn’t understand!
She looked at Yuan Xi's calm expression, and with the last chance of luck, she hurriedly said: "This name is good, I will follow what the envoy said and use Shangxiang as her name."
After hearing this, Yuan Xi sighed: "Madam, let's open the skylight and speak frankly."
"Madam, please think carefully. I have been staying in Guangling City for several months. How could I not investigate the details of a woman of unknown origin who stayed in the city guard's mansion?"
"What's more, on the day the city was destroyed, I sent people into the city disguised as domestic slaves and brought gifts to the mansion. The guard clearly said at that time that the person in charge was a lady."
"I thought about it carefully afterwards and found that the person who can take charge of the Jiangdong Tiger Sun Bofu's house should be a female member of the Sun family, and her status must be not low."
"Later, I searched in Guangling City and finally found several domestic servants and maids in the mansion at that time, and questioned them carefully."
"Although Madam doesn't go out much on weekdays, and those servants don't know Madam's name, they do know her age roughly."
"Sun Bofu is only twenty years old, but my wife is over thirty. In this way, my wife's identity is almost ready to be revealed."
"I'm afraid my wife's surname is not Cai, but Wu, right?"
When Mrs. Wu heard this, she felt as if she was weak. She tilted her body and said, "Why couldn't it be that I had already escaped when the city was broken?"
Yuan Xi nodded, "It's indeed possible, but I'm actually not sure."
"But then a lot of extraordinary things happened."
"Sun Bofu came so quickly that no one expected it. This is really not in line with military strategy."
"You must know that although the soldiers are very fast, within a day or two after a long-distance attack, the soldiers are exhausted and their combat power is at their weakest. However, Sun Bofu has the intention to attack the city. This is too abnormal."
"Then I released Qiao Rui to test the situation and wanted to see Sun Bofu's reaction, but I was disturbed by Guan Yu's arrival, so I was not sure in the end."
"But from then on, I began to doubt Madam. After all, she was the only one left in the house at that time."
"Logically, the lady is the least likely to stay, but if it were me, if I couldn't run away, it might not be a good strategy to do the opposite."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wu was annoyed and angry. This ferocious tiger was indeed extraordinary. He could control her own thoughts!
She was still unconvinced, "That's all. How did you know the name of my daughter?"
"Don't say it was just a question. Young Master can still ask Bo Fu!"
After hearing this, Yuan Xi laughed and hesitated: "I have a good friend who is good at stargazing, and he helped me figure it out."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wu was doubtful. She thought that Yuan Xi's expression was wrong and he must have lied!
Yuan Xi felt quite uncomfortable being stared at by her, so she had to deal with it: "Really, I met an expert named Yin Hu. He was good at stargazing, and he occasionally talked about the affairs of the world..."
Mrs. Wu sneered: "Then you talked about Axiang's name?"
"Young master, if you don't want to say it, forget it. Why use this excuse to blind me?"
"This is too lame an excuse. I would rather believe that the young master knows the art of stargazing. I remember Zhao Ji also mentioned this matter."
She said casually: "Hidden Tiger, Fierce Tiger, I'm afraid this is not the same person, right?"
Yuan Xi's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Forget it if Madam can't do it. Does Madam have any plans for the future?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Wu came back to her senses and said, "Don't you want to use my identity to blackmail Ce'er?"
"In your heart, do you feel that this is an unwarranted victory?"
Yuan Xi smiled bitterly and said: "It is impossible to say that I have never had this idea."
"I'm not a good person. I'm actually very despicable. I want to try whatever I can take advantage of."
"The reason why I don't want to use my identity as my wife to blackmail Sun Boxu is that I feel that it would be too cruel to my wife, and it really makes me feel uncomfortable with my conscience."
"If I really exchange my wife for the land of Jiangdong, in the eyes of the world, I will definitely become a despicable villain. How can I stand on my feet as a human being?"
"But actually the second point is the most important."
"I guess Sun Bofu will not agree."
Mrs. Wu was startled: "Why?"
Yuan Xi said slowly: "If I use my wife to blackmail me, the best way for him to respond is to never admit my wife's identity."
"Only in this way can my wife's reputation be preserved."
"Besides, Sun Bofu is a person who has achieved great things, and he will never ruin the Sun family's foundation just for this matter."
"Can he spend a huge price to get his wife back?"
"Even if I send my wife back directly, how will he face his pregnant mother?"
"Will he take it in stride?"
"Madam, do you want to see what kind of decision Bo Fu will make?"
"I'm afraid you don't want to face any choice, right?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Wu laughed miserably and said: "I am the one in charge who was confused. I thought I could conceal my identity and find a chance to escape. Unexpectedly, I have been manipulated by the young master all the time."
"I'm afraid that that night, the envoy knew that I didn't dare to speak out, so he came to humiliate me on purpose, right?"
After hearing this, Yuan Xi said seriously: "No, that night was indeed an accident."
"Although I'm not a good person, I still have some bottom lines in what I do."
"Although I had doubts about Madam's identity before, I have always had a headache on how to deal with this matter. I couldn't think of a clue, so I put it aside for the time being."
"Anyway, if Madam doesn't tell me, I won't be able to expose her. I want to keep Madam in the house. If there is an opportunity in the future, I may not be able to make good friends with Sun Bofu and turn the hostility into friendship."
"I was indeed drunk that night and became confused, which led to unexpected things happening."
"There is absolutely no lie in this matter. If I say anything to deceive Madam, I will be struck by lightning."
Yuan Xi thought to himself that the phrase "playing with the palm of the hand" should not be counted, after all, it really only had a literal meaning at the time.
After hearing this, Mrs. Wu couldn't help but get wet at the corners of her eyes, and said sadly: "The matter has come to this, what's the use of talking about it?"
"As the wife of the Sun family, if I am not safe tonight, if the world finds out, I can die. Wouldn't the Sun family become the laughing stock of the world?"
"And now that I'm pregnant, how could I hide it?"
After hearing this, Yuan Xi said: "This matter is actually very simple. Madam can continue to use the identity of Madam Cai. After giving birth to a child, I can find a way to send Madam back to Jiangdong without revealing this matter."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wu said solemnly: "I don't want this child."
After hearing this, Yuan Xi sighed: "Madam, this is my first child, madam, can you bear it?"
"If possible, I would like to marry Mrs.
After hearing this, Mrs. Wu's face was full of disbelief, "This idea is too ridiculous!"
Yuan Xi said confidently: "Why not?"
"Anyway, Madam is using the identity of Madam Cai and has nothing to do with the Sun family!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Wu said with helplessness in her tone, "I can't pass my level."
"I'm already very old. Besides, even if I give birth to a child, I have to return to Jiangdong. I can't stay by your side!"
Yuan Xi stared into Mrs. Wu's eyes. Mrs. Wu felt her face getting hot. She couldn't help but turned her head and said angrily: "Don't be rude!"
Yuan Xi made Mrs. Wu's eyes red and said: "Whoever said that Mrs. Wu is old is blind."
He suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Mrs. Wu's wrist. Mrs. Wu was so anxious that she couldn't break away after several attempts. She said anxiously: "Let go!"
However, Yuan Xi did not let go and said, "Madam, can you stay?"
Mrs. Wu shook her head and said sadly: "This is impossible."
Yuan Xi let go of his hand and said softly: "I respect your wife's wishes."
"After the wife gives birth to the child, whether she goes or stays depends solely on her wishes. I will never force her to do so."
"But now that it's over, why not spend this year happily?"
"I can guarantee that Mrs. Fenfen's identity will never be revealed."
