Chapter 209: Chapter 210: Testing Who the Child Belongs To

Xia Zhaohe immediately lowered her eyelids to conceal the panic in her eyes, then calmly said, “I was passing by and wanted to see how Brother An is doing lately.”

“Please, Commandery Princess.” Ah Mo made a welcoming gesture.

Xia Zhaohe had no choice but to step forward and enter, upon seeing her Yan Ze immediately stood up and cupped his hands in greeting, “I have met the Commandery Princess.”

“Master Yan.” Xia Zhaohe gave a slight nod.

Pei Huaian saw something off about her expression and guessed that she must have heard what Yan Ze said just now.

His gaze darkened, and his eyes, looking cold, fixed on Yan Ze across from him.

Feeling the icy look, he couldn’t help rubbing his arms and immediately tried to make amends, “Chu Yu has secretly executed Luo Jiner, just to bring Doctor Shao and the children back to Marquis Pingnan’s Mansion.”

“Oh? He is a ruthless man, indeed, capable of ordering the killing of a woman he once loved dearly, such a man is like a jackal, a tiger or a leopard,” Pei Huaian snorted coldly.

But inwardly he thought: Dream on if you want to compete with me for the woman and child!

Xia Zhaohe, still reeling from the shock of the news, randomly picked a stone stool to sit down and couldn’t help but recall the recent rumors in Capital City, her heart filling with doubts.

Yan Ze continued, “Have you heard that the blood test for kinship is not reliable, and that many people’s blood could accidentally merge together, causing quite a stir in Capital City?”

“Rare to find you gossiping,” Pei Huaian remarked with a teasing tone at his surprise.

“You don’t understand, this matter has completely overturned my understanding. Blood testing for kinship has been the practice since ancient times, and it’s rare for someone to claim it’s inaccurate. I can’t help but wonder how many wrongful judgments there’ve been over the years,” Yan Ze sighed.

Considering the number of cases where blood tests were used to verify familial relationships, if it happened that their blood coincidentally merged, it could result in many wrongful cases.

Xia Zhaohe finally came back to her senses and probed following his words, “Brother An, do you think Doctor Shao’s child could really be Chu Yu’s?”

She looked at Pei Huaian full of expectation, waiting for his answer.

“That question, I fear only the two of them would know, how could I possibly answer?”

“True, but I think the child does bear a few similarities to Chu Yu,” Xia Zhaohe remarked, probing further.

She wanted to see his attitude towards the child to determine if he was truly the father.

Pei Huaian calmly answered, “It’s hard to tell whom a child resembles from a young age, no matter whom the child resembles, it’s irrelevant to us.”

“You’re right, Brother An,” Xia Zhaohe said with a smile, then switched topics, “I heard that Chu Yu has been staying overnight in the chambers of the two maids, why then have neither of them become pregnant?”

“And that Luo Jiner, having served Chu Yu for many years, wasn’t able to conceive either? Could it be that…”

At that, Pei Huaian frowned slightly.

Xia Zhaohe didn’t continue the thought, afraid of overstimulating and causing disgust in Brother An.

Pei Huaian looked at her with a blank expression and said, “I’m tired, I’m going to rest.”

With that, he turned and walked towards his room.

Seizing the moment, Yan Ze also stood up to leave, leaving Xia Zhaohe alone in the courtyard, staring at the tightly closed door, lost in thought.

Yet from Brother An’s watertight responses just now, she detected nothing amiss.

She couldn’t help but secretly wonder: Could it really be an overthought on her part?

With doubts still lingering, Xia Zhaohe left.

Once she was gone, the closed door of the room opened, and Pei Huaian said with a gloomy face, “The servants are not being properly supervised, punish with twenty strokes and deduct this month’s monthly silver.”

“If it happens again, beat them to death with random blows and throw them out! Let them not forget who their master is; they shouldn’t be currying favor with others everywhere.”

What Pei Huaian detested most was the servants in his house not understanding their place.

“Yes.”

Ah Mo knew that his master was angry about the incident with Princess Ninghe because it had nearly exposed the identity of the young master.

“Master, would you like to rest now?”

“Hmm, you may leave.”

Pei Huaian sat down on a chair and rubbed his forehead, Shao He’s face appearing in his thoughts, wondering what she had been up to recently.

Outside the residence, a carriage slowly came to a stop, and inside the carriage, Shao He sneezed. Qingxia immediately expressed concern, “Miss, have you caught a chill?”

“It’s nothing.”

Shao He just felt a tingling in her nose, and after getting out of the carriage, she looked up at the neighboring courtyard, saw the firmly closed gate and then withdrew her gaze.

Noticing where she looked, Qingxia whispered, “I wonder how the Fifth Prince is.”

“He’s fine.”

After saying that, Shao He stepped towards the mansion.

Qingxia touched her nose awkwardly, thinking to herself how the missus was tough on the outside but soft on the inside.

Back in her room, after washing her hands, Shao He picked up Xiao Linzhang and playfully teased him.

Watching her mistress, Qingxia couldn’t help but grumble, “Lady Fang has simply gone too far, I heard from Miss Jhiang’s maid that ever since she gave birth to a daughter, not once has Lady Fang come to hold the child, and she keeps urging them to try for another soon.”

“What about Young Master Fang? What does he say?”

Valuing sons over daughters had always been a symbol of the times, with having a son considered more important than anything else here.

“Fortunately, Young Master Fang has a clear head and hasn’t listened to his mother, taking great care of Miss Jhiang.”

“Then that’s good,” said Shao He with a smile.

As long as he wasn’t a mama’s boy, Miss Jhiang was rather lucky.
