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?]
