“That’s impossible.” Lu Zhuangniu was amused when he heard that. Father, what are you thinking? If Xue Yan is our new Emperor, why would he still be in our village? He should be in the Imperial Capital.”
“That’s right, that’s right.” Village Chief Lu’s wife was also overjoyed as if she had heard a big joke.
Village Chief Lu’s daughter-in-law also pursed her lips and smiled.
“I thought so too, so I thought it was impossible. But it sounds like quite a funny coincidence.” Village Chief Lu said.
Village Chief Lu’s wife was overjoyed. “I’ll have to talk to Guixia about this when I meet her tomorrow. It’s too funny. It’s more than coincidental. His surname is Xue, and he was adopted. If Xue Yan is no longer in our village, I might be suspicious too. But he’s here, so I’m not.”
The next day, when Village Chief Lu’s wife was washing clothes by the river, she met Liu Guixia. As expected, she told Liu Guixia about this matter. Liu Guixia also felt that it was impossible.
Li Hehua came to wash clothes with Liu Guixia, so she also felt that it was impossible.
The other wives and aunties who were washing clothes all laughed out loud.
When Liu Guixia and Li Hehua finished washing their clothes and returned home, it was time for breakfast. Xue Dafu, Emperor Hao, and Xue Erfu had returned from the fields. Shao Youyue also carried Prince Shou over and prepared to eat breakfast. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had also just returned from practicing martial arts in their old house.
Li Hehua didn’t say anything. It was Liu Guixia who said something first. When she saw her youngest son, Xue Yan, she thought of this matter. She immediately laughed like she heard the funniest joke. As she hung her clothes, she said to Xue Dafu, who put his hoe aside, “I heard something so funny today.” Liu Guixia was so happy that everyone looked at her.
Liu Guixia wanted to tell Xue Dafu about it, but seeing that everyone was looking at her, she decided to tell everyone directly. She said happily, “When we were washing clothes, Hehua and I heard from the village chief’s wife that the village chief heard that our new Emperor was foundby a family surnamed Xue. The Xue family belongs to Xinyuan County and he ascended the throne at the beginning of this year. At the beginning of this year, didn’t Xue Yan go out for a trip? The village chief suspected that Xue Yan was our new Emperor. It was so funny. How could our Xue Yan be the Emperor?”
Jiang Yue was speechless.
Xue Yan was speechless.
Emperor Hao was speechless.
Shao Youyue was speechless.
Xue Erfu was speechless.
Pei Fufu was speechless.
“The village chief’s wife also thought it was funny and we laughed for a long time.” Liu Guixia continued to laugh. “The others who were there were also laughing about this. I don’t know what the village chief was thinking. If Xue Yan were to be our new Emperor, he wouldn’t still be here.”
Xue Dafu smiled. “What are you thinking? His surname is Xue, and he was adopted. He’s still in Xinyuan County now, he can’t be the Emperor. Even if Xue Yan did go out at the beginning of the year, it’s impossible that he’s the Emperor. No wonder the village chief had such thoughts.”
Yu Hongyan agreed that Xue Yan was not the new Emperor. However, she looked at Xue Erfu and felt that something was wrong with her husband. “What’s wrong with you? Why aren’t you reacting?” Didn’t her husband usually say a few words when something happened? Why was he so quiet now?
“Ah, it’s fine, it’s fine.” Xue Erfu immediately smiled.
Yu Hongyan felt that something was wrong.
Pei Fufu also avoided Yu Hongyan’s gaze.
Emperor Hao and Shao Youyue naturally looked elsewhere.
Jiang Yue looked at Xue Yan calmly, waiting to see what he planned to do.
