Chapter 859 - 859: Protection
Moreover, Shuting had already said that she had seen his face clearly. She even called him Huo Wenqing.
Now, she was suspiciously asking them if he had a mole…
It seemed like she knew someone who had a mole.
Why did she suddenly make that connection? Was it because he was called Huo Wenqing? She used to know a person named Huo Wenqing who looked exactly like Shao Shuting… This can’t be. This shouldn’t be the way to contact the past… There should be another reason…
Thinking of this, Xue Yan quickly sorted out his thoughts again.
Could it be that she knew two people in the past? One was called Huo Wenqing, but looked exactly like Shao Shuting. One was called Shao Shuting, but looked like Huo Wenqing instead?
It seems that the appearance and names have been swapped or something…
Was that why she suddenly and quickly linked the two of them together and immediately asked about the mole?
It was highly possible.
Xue Yan quickly came to this decision within the 30 seconds he stayed silent.
Shao Zhongxi was not like Xue Yan, he did not piece the whole thing easily. He was just as confused as Shao Shuting.
However, Jiang Yue’s skills were extraordinary. He had already asked someone to test her. In short, she was not a simple child. Even if she had known Huo Wenqing a long time ago and even knew that Ji Xiehui was Huo Wenqing, he would not be surprised.
Moreover, he could choose not to pursue the matter.
If it were anyone else, especially an enemy, he would definitely want to investigate it clearly. However, this person was Jiang Yue, who was on his nephew’s side.
He was now extremely protective of his nephew. The first time they met, Jiang Yue made sure that Xue Yan was out of harm’s way.
Jiang Yue wouldn’t harm his nephew.
Since his nephew was the Crown Prince of Da Ling, Jiang Yue would naturally not do anything to sabotage Da Ling as well.
As for Jiang Yue, she didn’t answer Shao Shutings questions and remained expressionless.
Shao Shuting was not a fool. Seeing that Jiang Yue did not speak, he knew that Jiang Yue would not answer his questions. Although he still felt that it was strange, he was certain that the two little devils were in cahoots. Regardless of whether Jiang Yue was strange or not, he knew that she would not harm his nephew. That was enough.
Therefore, he tactfully changed the topic, looked at his nephew and said, “Xue Yan… No, I should call you the Crown Prince. Pei Dongyu is your good friend, right? Because the Ji family’s minions have all been eliminated, many official positions have been vacated. He has also been promoted. He is now a third rank Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He was promoted the fastest among the civil officials. It is enough to show that the Emperor thinks highly of him.”
Xue Yan dutifully listened and nodded along to the news.
In his previous life, Dongyu was highly regarded by the Emperor. However, the Ji family did not fall until the Emperor fell into a coma. Therefore, Dongyu had never been promoted and had always been a small official in the palace. After the Emperor passed away and Prince Yi succeeded to the throne, the dark side of the officialdom appeared from the cracks. Although Dongyu was only a small official and was not in the center of interest, he still did not want to stay in this kind of officialdom..
