However, he was still displeased with the whole situation. Everything was not going well!
“Zhu Village is being watched,” the warrior said. “Shao Zhongxi must have found out that Xue Yan is the Crown Prince, and he must also know that the Empress is in Xue Yan’s house. Locust Village will definitely be watched by
Shao Zhongxi’s people. When Fei and I asked about Xue Yan and Jiang Yue from a village near Locust Village, we found out about some things.”
Prince Yi’s ears perked up.
“There’s nothing wrong with Xue Yan but there might be something wrong with the girl, Jiang Yue..”
“Is the information reliable?” Prince Yi immediately asked. As long as Xue Yan was not reborn, he still had a great chance of winning in this lifetime.
“It really is! We heard about it from the neighboring village of Locust Village, Willow Village. The two villages are very close to each other. Moreover, the person who told us about this was Jiang Yue’s uncle, Jiang. Jiang Yue and Jiang broke off their relationship at the beginning of April last year.
“According to Jiang, Jiang Yue was originally raised at his house, but later on, Jiang Yue fell ill and looked like she was about to die. One day, she suddenly recovered and was allegedly possessed by a ghost. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have beaten his family half to death. At that time, Jiang Yue was only three and a half years old. She was such a small baby. She even forced him to break off the marriage contract.
“Once she left and joined the Xue family, Jiang Yue had set up an oil mill, rice noodle shop, and planted many things that anyone had ever seen before. If I didn’t give him a lot of money, he would not have dared to say anything.
“He even planned to run away when he heard Jiang Yue’s name.
“l even asked him why Xue Yan stopped studying. He said that he was originally studying, but after Jiang Yue went to his house, he stopped.
Anyway, there was nothing wrong with Xue Yan.” The warrior concluded.
“He’s just a farmer. We can never fully rely on his words.” Prince Yi sneered at Jiang on the surface, but in his heart, he was sure that Jiang Yue was the same as him.
He tripped over Zizhan’s leg and was reborn. This means that something similar must have happened to Jiang Yue as well.
Wei Zizhan had also told him before that Xue Yan had stopped studying in April last year and stayed at home to take care of Jiang Yue.
Now it was even more obvious that the reason why Xue Yan did not study in the academy anymore was because of Jiang Yue.
Prince Yi concluded that Xue Yan definitely wasn’t reborn. That was because if he was reborn, it would be impossible for him to live a life like this.
Although Jiang Yue was reborn, she would obviously not know that Xue Yan was actually the Crown Prince. Otherwise, she would not have let Shao Youyue and Shao Shuting live in their house. There was no reason for him to get Wei Zizhan to enter the palace and become the Crown Prince.
However, there was one thing he could not understand.
Since Jiang Yue was reborn, she must know about how Xue Yan had risen to the top in his previous life. In a few years, he became the Prime Minister, and in a few more years, he became the Regent. Knowing this, why did she not let Xue Yan study?
Was it because his son followed his will and successfully killed Xue Yan? Was she trying to prevent Xue Yan’s miserable life?
That was very possible.
Thinking of this, Prince Yi nodded along to his assumptions.
However, he did not know where Jiang Yue had hidden herself in her previous life and what her identity was later on. In his previous life, he was sure that Xue Yan did not have someone like her by his side…
‘She must have stayed in Willow Village all this time. If she had grown up and married into another village, she would have been an ordinary peasant woman. How could she have learned martial arts the moment she was reborn?’ Prince Yi thought to himself..
