Chapter 839: Chapter 589 The Suddenly Appearing "Brother" Admits Guilt to Gain Leniency_2

Shen Chuwei: "..." I’m not Sun Wukong, being born from a stone~

Jun Wuxian didn’t expect that Shen Chuwei had died five years ago, with someone taking over her body, the current Shen Chuwei was no longer the original Shen Chuwei.

But the current her, indeed had a personality very similar to Xiao Jiu’s.

"So where did you come from?"

"The modern era, another space-time’s future world," Shen Chuwei also didn’t know if they could understand, and the reason she said another space time was because this ancient history was one she had never heard of.

Xun Qingqing’s brain wasn’t that nimble, and she was completely lost.

"I still don’t understand."

Shen Chuwei said soothingly with a smile, "It’s okay if you don’t understand, it’s not essential knowledge to know."

Upon hearing this, Xun Qingqing nodded, "That’s true."

Jun Wuxian lifted up his cup of tea and took a sip, actually not understanding what was going on either. The original Shen Chuwei was no more, the current Shen Chuwei had transmigrated from somewhere else.

No wonder she always believed she wasn’t Feng Wuyou.

Even if the former Shen Chuwei were still here, her personality had nothing to do with Xiao Jiu.

He didn’t believe Xiao Jiu could become someone so desperate for favor that she would resort to any means necessary.

She wouldn’t be easily bullied either.

His father once said, you may not start trouble, but you shouldn’t be afraid or bullied when trouble finds you.

"Speaking of which, my father is in the Imperial Palace, why didn’t I see him last night?"

Shen Chuwei said, "The National Master went on official business and will only return after a few days."

"No wonder I didn’t see my father when I returned to the palace, but..." Jun Wuxian looked towards Shen Chuwei and smiled, "Do you plan to come clean to my father?"

Shen Chuwei nodded, "Yeah, although at first, I didn’t want to impersonate Feng Wuyou, later it was my own decision. I hope the National Master is magnanimous and doesn’t mind."

Jun Wuxian continued with a smile, "I think my father won’t misidentify."

Shen Chuwei smiled sheepishly, "I also hope to have a father like the National Master, handsome and formidable, exuding a full sense of security."

Jun Wuxian couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "You’ll know when you ask my father."

Meanwhile, inside Wuyou Palace

Xiao Jinyan returned from outside with some pastries and freshly baked pastry. He walked straight into the bedchamber only to find it empty except for Xuetuan lying there asleep.

Xiao Jinyan frowned slightly and turned to walk out.

"Xiao Jiu?" he called out.

Ever since Shen Chuwei left without saying goodbye, Xiao Jinyan had a shadow in his heart, involuntarily feeling panic when he didn’t see her.

A palace maid spotted Xiao Jinyan from a distance, picked up the hem of her dress, and hurried over, catching her breath. She took a note from her sleeve and handed it to Xiao Jinyan with both hands.

"Young Master Xiao, this is something the Master asked this servant to give to you."

Xiao Jinyan felt a bad premonition rising in his heart. He eagerly took the note and opened it, only to see a very brief message written on it.

Xun Qingqing has come to Nanzhao Country, I’ve left the palace to meet her at Yuelai Inn.

After reading the note, Xiao Jinyan let out a sigh of relief, puzzled why Xun Qingqing had come. From Daxia to the capital city, it’s so far, what could she, a woman, be doing here?

The palace maid said, "Young Master Xiao, the Master said she would return soon."

Xiao Jinyan put away the note, still holding the pastries and pastry in hand, turned back, and reentered the bedchamber.

When Shen Chuwei returned, it was already the afternoon; she came back after having lunch.

Right after her return, the palace maid came to greet her, "Master, Young Master Xiao has returned."

"I’ll go see him," Shen Chuwei walked towards the side hall and saw Xiao Jinyan sitting at a round table, drinking tea.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Xiao Jinyan looked up, and seeing Shen Chuwei, his heart finally relaxed completely.

"Xiao Jiu."

"Xun Qingqing and Jun Wuxian are here," Shen Chuwei said, sitting down at the table while Xiao Jinyan poured her a cup of tea which she took and sipped from.

Upon hearing Jun Wuxian, Xiao Jinyan knew who it was and guessed why he had returned to Nanzhao Country.

In Nanzhao Country, he had seen Jun Wuxian many times. Although Jun Wuxian would occasionally stay in the palace, he spent most of his time outside.

"He’s here to find you," Xiao Jinyan stated confidently.

Shen Chuwei paused in her tea-drinking, "You know Jun Wuxian too?"

Xiao Jinyan nodded, "Yes, I’ve met him many times in Nanzhao Country."

Shen Chuwei said, "He’s been investigating the original Shen Chuwei’s background and thought I was Feng Wuyou, but I’ve told him the truth."

Xiao Jinyan asked with curiosity, "What background does Shen Chuwei have?"

Shen Chuwei explained, "Jun Wuxian said Shen Chuwei wasn’t the Shen Family’s illegitimate daughter raised in the countryside; the Shen Family’s illegitimate daughter died at the age of eleven, and afterwards, they found a girl about the same age to replace and raise as their own."

Xiao Jinyan nodded thoughtfully, "So that was the case." He then asked, "Did Jun Wuxian say anything else?"

"He believes the National Master won’t make a mistake," Shen Chuwei’s gaze drifted to the oil-paper wrapped package on the table. From the moment she sat down, she had been smelling the fragrance, and she reached out to open the package.

Upon opening the package and seeing the pastry, she, who loved to eat Pastry, couldn’t wait to take a piece and bite into it. Although it wasn’t as delicious as when it was just out of the pan, it still tasted good.

Xiao Jinyan watched her eat, "What do you think?"

Shen Chuwei took a bite of the Pastry and said, "I don’t know either. Logically, the possibility of me being Feng Wuyou is not great. Let’s see what the National Master says when he returns."

The reason for mentioning the National Master was that he was too formidable—and importantly, the National Master also had Space.

She had been hesitating to ask before, but now she was eager to inquire.

Both Xiao Jinyan and Jun Wuxian believed the National Master wouldn’t be mistaken, so all they could do was wait for the National Master to return.

As she ate the Pastry, she looked up at the mural above, the portrait of Feng Wuyou. It did indeed resemble Shen Chuwei exactly.

Perhaps the original host was indeed Feng Wuyou, but due to some reason, her personality had changed?
