Chapter 957 There’s a good show to watch
"No way?"
Bai Zhi shrank back instinctively as she listened to Qing Teng's words. She had practiced martial arts for many years and was not afraid of assassins or killers.
However, when it comes to these eerie things, it doesn't feel like that at all.
"What are you afraid of? You know how capable our master is. Only those vengeful ghosts would try to run away when they see our master. How dare they be arrogant in front of our master?"
Qing Teng wasn't afraid at all. In fact, looking at her Crown Princess's expression, she could tell that she wasn't afraid at all; on the contrary, she was quite interested.
At this moment, the ghost Xiao Wenyuan also noticed that Song Ruozhen was staring at him, and was surprised.
"Can you see me?"
Since his return, he has found it hard to accept that he has died, but what he finds even harder to accept is that his wife has been having an affair with his second brother.
Over the years, he never doubted that the two people he was closest to and most trusted were secretly having an affair.
Now... he even suspects that the child in Lu Fei's belly isn't his!
The most ridiculous thing is that he and Xiao Wenche are twin brothers and look exactly alike. Even if this child is born, no one will doubt it.
After all, the child will definitely look like him, which is really ironic!
He wanted to question Lu Fei about why she betrayed him, and he also wanted to question Xiao Wenche about how he, as his own brother, could do such a beastly thing.
Unfortunately, no one could see him, and no one could hear what he said.
Aside from his initial hysteria and near-madness, he is now gradually reduced to despair.
He couldn't do anything. God would have preferred him to just die. He had to witness this cruel truth firsthand. Now, even his soul is stuck here, unable to leave or be reincarnated.
This is torture!
He didn't know what sins he had committed to deserve this treatment from God!
However, ever since the Crown Princess arrived, he has noticed that when she was looking at Lu Fei, she seemed to have seen him as well.
Especially now, with nothing around him, the Crown Princess's gaze was fixed on him, making him realize that this was no coincidence!
Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, "Of course."
Upon hearing the affirmative answer, Xiao Wenyuan became excited.
"Princess Consort, I've heard that you're skilled in metaphysics, but I never imagined that you could actually see me!"
I beg you, you must help me expose the truth. I am Xiao Wenyuan, and the Xiao Wenyuan in front of me is my second brother. He is deliberately impersonating me!
My sister-in-law is absolutely right; she hasn't mistaken them for someone else. We can't just let them get away with this!
"It's not easy for me to expose this kind of thing. He has a face that looks exactly like yours, and I don't know you at all."
Even if I told them, they would assume I was deliberately lying to help Xia Zhilan. In that case, I, an outsider, would get myself into trouble for no reason. Wouldn't that be a bad deal?
Song Ruozhen raised an eyebrow. Even the people in their household thought it was impossible to have such a thing as true or false brothers.
Xia Zhilan even attempted suicide to prove everything, but the three of them—Madam Xiao, Xiao Wenche, and Lu Fei—colluded to turn black into white.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wenyuan gradually calmed down from his initial excitement.
He watched as his younger brother, sister-in-law, and Chuxue painstakingly proved everything, but no one believed them.
Although the Crown Princess is of noble status, the two brothers look exactly alike, and now that even their mother has conspired, no one will believe what others say.
"I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous..."
A hint of despair flashed in Xiao Wenyuan's eyes. He must have been confused to have such unrealistic expectations.
Seeing the change in Xiao Wenyuan's expression, Song Ruozhen chuckled and said, "So, it's more appropriate for you to handle this matter personally."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wenyuan was taken aback, not understanding what she meant for a moment.
"Crown Princess, what do you mean by that?"
"You're lucky to have met me. Your physical body is still alive. Follow me, and I'll help you return to your body."
Disbelief flashed in Xiao Wenyuan's eyes, as if he had been hit by a huge surprise and couldn't believe it was true.
"Really, really?"
"Of course, why would I lie to a ghost for no reason?"
Song Ruozhen's lips curled slightly. This matter concerning the Xiao family was so interesting; things would surely become even more exciting once Xiao Wenyuan returned.
If it were him, he would rather take over his younger brother's identity than cause a huge scene.
Anyway, the original wife wasn't worth keeping, not to mention that Xiao Wenche had just passed the imperial examination. If he directly replaced her, it would infuriate those two even more.
When a rabbit gets anxious, it naturally loses its composure, and then everything becomes traceable. Isn't that interesting?
She did some quick calculations and suddenly realized that the next development of this matter was... truly unexpected.
The Empress noticed Song Ruozhen's actions at this moment and asked in confusion, "Zhen'er, what are you doing?"
"Mother, I have to go to another place later, and things may change."
The Empress was surprised. "What other changes could there be in this matter? Since Zhilan has made up her mind, she might as well leave and avoid further trouble."
However, this old lady of the Xiao family was also a problem. In order to keep her here, she resorted to any means necessary and even fainted.
In my opinion, it's definitely an act.
“What if Xiao Wenyuan didn’t die and came back?” Song Ruozhen asked.
The Empress's eyes narrowed, her expression becoming complicated. "If Xiao Wenyuan returns, then this whole farce..."
However, the next moment, the Empress chuckled and said, "The Xiao family made a mess of things, so it should be resolved by the Xiao family itself. That's quite good."
Song Ruozhen nodded. It was indeed more efficient for Xiao Wenyuan to resolve the feud between the brothers himself after he returned.
"Zhilan, there's something I want to tell you."
Song Ruozhen walked to Xia Zhilan's side and conveyed Xiao Wenyuan's thoughts.
"Do you want to ruin Xiao Wenche and Lu Fei's reputations?"
Xia Zhilan was taken aback, seemingly not expecting the Crown Princess to suddenly say such a thing, but the next moment she clenched her fist and said:
"miss you!"
"I wish I could expose everything they've done and let everyone know the despicable things they've committed!"
Xiao Wenche has been lying to her for so long. Lu Fei always says nonsensical things in front of her, but now it's clearly all mockery and boasting.
Leaving like this, even if life goes well afterward, the resentment in my heart will be hard to dispel.
"However, it would be difficult for me to do this on my own."
"I'm already in enough trouble with this whole mess, and now that Xiao Wenche has convinced everyone he's Xiao Wenyuan, asking for your help would only damage your reputations and make everyone think the Empress Dowager and the Empress are biased and siding with me."
