As soon as the words were spoken, the room fell into silence.
Both uncles looked at her in astonishment.
Duke Xu opened his mouth wide, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
"Nanxing, your mother has been spoiled since she was a child. Even though she is a bit spoiled, she still understands the basic principles of propriety and honor."
"She would never do such a thing..."
"You must have misunderstood something..."
Duke Xu's face flushed red, and he seemed to want to say something, but he hesitated.
Shen Nanxing was stunned, but after a little thought, he realized that his uncle had misunderstood.
She was suddenly at a loss for words: "Uncle, that's not what I meant..."
Duke Xu looked puzzled. "Didn't you just say that you doubted Shen Yuan was your father?"
But Grand Tutor Xu's eyes twinkled, and he chuckled, "Third brother, Nanxing must be saying that this Shen Yuan is a fake."
Shen Nanxing looked solemn and nodded.
Duke Xu was stunned, a look of surprise and suspicion suddenly appeared in his eyes: "How, how is this possible? How could Shen Yuan be fake?"
"If the current Shen Yuan is fake, then where is the real Shen Yuan?"
Master Xu also looked at Shen Nanxing: "Nanxing, what is going on?"
Shen Nanxing told his two uncles about his discovery of Shen Yuan's martial arts skills.
After finishing speaking, he continued, "Besides that, I always feel that Shen Yuan's attitude towards Mother has changed too much."
"Although I haven't witnessed how Dad treated Mom in the past, I have heard Mom talk about it many times. The details she mentioned, when combined with Shen Yuan's current situation, always seem out of place to me."
"I always feel that those things are not something that the current Shen Yuan can do."
"Not only that, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, yet Shen Yuan turned a blind eye to his brother's death!"
"This is so abnormal, as if my brother and I are not his children at all..."
She thought about it and decided not to tell him that Shen Yuan had killed her brother.
She was afraid that if she told anyone, her two uncles would kill Shen Yuan directly.
If that's the case, I'm afraid I'll never forgive my uncles in my lifetime...
She still has to recognize the man's true face herself.
After these words were spoken, the study fell silent again.
Duke Xu looked up at Grand Tutor Xu and said, "Brother, do you remember when Shen Yuan came to ask for my hand in marriage? After he left, the three of us brothers cornered him in the alley and beat him up?"
Shen Nanxing opened his eyes wide:???
Master Xu frowned and nodded, "I remember. Back then, the three of us brothers beat him to a pulp, leaving him with bruises all over his head."
Duke Xu: "Does he know martial arts?"
Master Xu shook his head slowly.
At that time, Shen Yuan was beaten by the three brothers, one kick after another, until his body was covered with bruises. He had no power to resist and could only hold his head and shout:
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, I really like Luan'er."
"Please marry Luan'er to me. I, Shen Yuan, swear to only marry Luan'er in this life and treat only Luan'er well."
"I will never take a concubine!"
"If you break this oath in the future, you will be struck by lightning that day and die a miserable death!"
But the three brothers didn't stop and beat him until his face was bruised and swollen...
"He really doesn't know how to fight." After pondering for a while, Master Xu said another sentence.
Shen Nanxing crossed his arms over his chest: "Is it possible that he is pretending not to know martial arts?"
Master Xu waved his hand: "Impossible."
许国公:“大哥你怎么这么确定?我倒觉得南星说的有理,说不定他那时候就是为了求娶小妹,就是假装不会武,故意被我们揍呢?”
Grand Tutor Xu still shook his head: "When Shen Yuan and my younger sister were out for an outing in the suburbs, I asked someone to test him, and he really doesn't know how to fight."
Duke Xu was stunned. "So it was you who hired the assassin who stabbed Shen Yuan that time?"
"How could you be so cruel? After being assassinated that day, he rested for a full six months!"
Master Xu lowered his eyes: "So when he came back with a cane to ask for my hand in marriage, I agreed..."
Duke Xu pointed at Grand Tutor Xu, his hands trembling: "Brother, why are you so cruel? You have such a hard heart..."
Grand Tutor Xu: "I'm just testing whether he's sincere towards me. He doesn't have any outstanding qualities, but at least he's sincere to me, so I can marry him!"
He hired a killer from Xingyue Pavilion, and they agreed that he would pretend to assassinate my younger sister. If Shen Yuan came to block him, he would just stab him lightly with his sword and not kill him.
But who knew that Shen Yuan was so stupid that when he was blocking the sword for my little sister, he somehow knocked the assassin down, and the sword pierced deep into him...
Fortunately, no vital injuries were sustained.
Grand Tutor Xu pondered for a moment, then continued, "At least we can be sure that Shen Yuan at that time definitely didn't know any martial arts. If he knew martial arts, even if it was just an average level, it would have been easy for him to dodge that unskilled sword attack."
After all, he hired the lowest-level one-star killer in Xingyue Pavilion.
Grand Tutor Xu looked at Shen Nanxing with complicated eyes: "Shen Yuan really loved your mother to the core, otherwise I would not agree to marry your mother to him."
"But they were married for only a year when your mother discovered he was having an affair..."
"This is very abnormal. If the current Shen Yuan is a fake, then eighteen years ago when your mother was pregnant and discovered that Shen Yuan had a mistress, it must have been this fake Shen Yuan..."
Shen Nanxing's heart skipped a beat: "Then my father..."
Grand Tutor Xu turned his eyes away and sighed deeply, "If our speculation is true, then the real Shen Yuan is probably already in grave danger."
"If you hadn't mentioned today that he was good at martial arts, I would have really thought Shen Yuan was a heartless person..."
"Now I'm afraid I've wrongly blamed him."
Shen Nanxing's eyes suddenly turned red: "How could a man who was willing to sacrifice his own life to protect my mother possibly keep a mistress?"
"No wonder I've never seen even a hint of love in his eyes for the three of us, mother and son..."
The atmosphere in the study suddenly became solemn, and only Shen Nanxing's occasional sobbing could be heard.
Duke Xu glared at Grand Tutor Xu, then stepped forward and patted Shen Nanxing on the shoulder: "Nanxing, these are just our guesses, they may not be true."
"Listen to your uncle and don't be sad!"
Shen Nanxing thought of something and looked at Master Xu with tearful eyes: "Uncle, where did the sword pierce my father back then?"
"Such a serious injury will definitely leave a scar."
She bit her lip and said, "It's very simple to know if Shen Yuan is my father."
"Just look at him for that scar..."
