He was found in Changyu. It had been so many days since Changyu arrived at the Imperial Capital, but Wei Zizhan still did not say that the jade pendant was his…

Also, Wei Zizhan grew up in the Wei family. How could he not know whether he was the biological son of the Wei family? Even if he wasn’t very clear, he should have heard that his own mother died because of childbirth, right?

Even an outsider like him heard about this.

At that time, everyone in the class knew about it.

There was once when someone mentioned this matter and mentioned that Wei Zizhan was not liked by Old Master Wei because of this matter. Wei Zizhan even bumped into it and turned around to leave on the spot.

It was impossible for Wei Zizhan not to know about this.

He definitely knew about this, but he did not mention it when the Shao family found him and suspected that he was the Crown Prince…

He didn’t say anything either. Otherwise, Shao Zhongxi would have been suspicious. If he knew that the jade pendant didn’t belong to Wei Zizhan at all and that Wei Zizhan’s mother had died during childbirth, plus Empress Shao said that he looked like Emperor Shu… Even if Shao Zhongxi wanted to identify a person, it would be Xue Yan. He should have brought Xue Yan to the Imperial

Capital for a blood test, not Wei Zizhan.

Wei Zizhan was at fault for not saying anything. He only chose what was beneficial to him.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After a blood test, he said that the jade pendant was his. That was the best evidence to go against him.

“Then let’s go to town to investigate tomorrow.” Jiang Yue said. “Regardless of whether we can find it in town or not, we still have to go to the county to investigate. Before the Wei family went to Changyu and after Ji Yi carried you to Xinyuan County, the Wei family either lived in the county or in the town.

These two places must be investigated.”

Then, Jiang Yue said in detail about the plan.

“Wei Zizhan’s family is dead and he’s the only one left, but his relatives should still be around. Whether Wei Zizhan was their biological son or not can be confirmed by their relatives. Especially Wei Zizhan’s mother’s family.

“If he doesn’t have a paternal family or relatives, then there are still his dismissed servants. From the year Wei Zizhan was born until now, it would be impossible for the Wei Family not to dismiss a single servant, right? Changyu was massacred, but it can’t be that these disbanded servants were also killed, right?

“No matter what, the head of the family wouldn’t have personally carried you out of the Wei residence and thrown you away. He should have asked the servants to throw you away.

“Then it is very likely that more than one servant in the Wei family would know about this matter. After all, a child was put in a home and immediately thrown out after. I hope those servants who know about this matter didn’t go to Changyu.”

The back of Heshi County’s government office had been massacred. If they followed them to Changyu, they would be dead.

“It’s best if we can find the midwife who delivered Wei Zizhan back then.

“Also, you were adopted by Dafu on the way back from the county. It would be even better if we could find out who abandoned you.

“Therefore, our next step is to find the relatives, the dismissed servants, and the midwife from back then and ask them about it.”

“Sounds good.” Xue Yan nodded in agreement.

He definitely had to ask his relatives. Moreover, he had heard before that Wei Zizhan’s father was not only a cruel person, but was also very stingy. In fact, he was a miser. If there was a servant in the family who was old and could not work, or could not bring him to Changyu…

For various reasons, that man would definitely not keep these servants for nothing. Instead, he would dismiss them and kick them out of the Wei family.

If they could find the midwife who delivered Wei Zizhan, it would be considered more evidence.

In other words, the more witnesses there were, the more believable it would be.

“If we’re looking for those who have been dismissed, we’ll have to look for those who have been dismissed in the past eight years. Those who were dismissed earlier might not know about this.” Xue Yan said..
