It seems that one really needs to meet this person in person in order to know one or two truths.

Thinking of this, he took a step forward, "What is the name of this Xiuchun you are talking about now? Where did you meet? But still in the capital?"

Mother Xue closed her eyes tightly, panting, and said, "The surname is Deng. I met him when I was begging on the street. He is still in the city, in the teahouse opposite Jingfu."

Surname Deng?Could it be that he was adopted by Deng's family again?
Jing Shan's eyebrows twitched, this person is still waiting in the teahouse, could it be that he is waiting for his attitude?

Thinking of this, he gestured to the subordinates beside him, "Go to the teahouse and call this person to meet me. I want to see who this person is."

The subordinates exchanged glances with each other, and soon went out to the teahouse.

After a while, Deng Chunhua was called into the Jingfu hall, Jing Shan had been waiting here for a long time, seeing him coming, he graciously invited him to sit down.

This Deng Chunxiu's attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, and her upbringing was barely good, but there was always a calculating meaning between her brows, like a dark cloud, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Jing Shan carefully looked at his eyebrows and eyes. Naturally, his appearance is not compatible with a handsome man, his facial features are mediocre, and his temperament is mediocre, but there are indeed some similarities between his eyebrows and eyes and his aunt.

Could it be that there are some relatives?
He was puzzled in his heart, so he cut straight to the point, "You asked that woman to come and tell the Xue family about it?"

"That's right," Deng Xiuchun bowed respectfully, "Don't be surprised, cousin, I just found out who I am, so I hurried from the countryside to look for you. Don't worry, I didn't ask you to give me gold, silver and jewelry." Or take them in, just want to recognize their ancestors and prove their identity."

Jing Shan raised her hand to pick up the teacup, her eyes didn't have any waves, and she still spoke in a neutral manner, "Your identity has not been verified by our house, so don't call me cousin for now, you said you were with Lin Ce and that maidservant halfway. Lost, then where did you grow up? Dozens of members of the Xue family died that night, and the genealogy tokens were even burned. How can you prove your identity? It’s been too long, don’t blame us for being fussy. "

Although his tone is gentle, his sentences reveal a sense of suspicion and alienation.

Deng Xiuchun came prepared, bowed his hand, and replied calmly, without any panic, "Master Jing, I was still young, and I only remember that the maid by my mother took me away from Xue's mansion. How long did it take to get separated again, and then I was adopted by Deng's family until I reached the age of the crown. The Lin Ce you are calling must be the child raised by the maid. I have never met him. Of course I don't remember him either."

These words were impeccable, Jing Shan held the cup and fell into deep thought, Deng Xiuchun said again: "Although I did not carry the genealogy and tokens, I still have burns from that night on my body, and the traces happened to be the seal of the jade pendant that my mother carried with me." .”

There is such a coincidence in the world?

Jing Shan's temples twitched, and Deng Xiuchun opened his sleeves, and sure enough, there was a pink burn mark on his forearm. It looked very similar to the jade pendant on his aunt's waist many years ago.

His mind was spinning rapidly, and he always felt that there was something wrong in it, but he didn't notice that Deng Xiuchun took out a white porcelain bottle from his arms at this time, and quietly uncovered the red cloth that was sealed up, and there was some "rustle" from the bottle. The movement is exactly the sound of Gu worms crawling.

He wants to take this opportunity to cast a Gu on Jing Shan!
He was just about to pour out the Gu worm, but found that the worm became sluggish as soon as it smelled Jing Shan's body, and then it shook twice and died on the spot.

what happened?

Deng Xiuchun was shocked, and quickly hid the Gu worm's body in the bottle, and then hurriedly hid the bottle in his bosom, his eyes twitched a few times.

Could it be that Jing Shan has something to avoid Gu?

He was thinking about it when Jing Shan suddenly asked him to go back first.

"The family is busy with business, and your identity has not yet been confirmed, so we can't keep you for now," he said in a calm tone, "Go back first."

Deng Xiuchun knew that he couldn't stick to Jing Mansion like a dog's skin plaster for quick success, so he obeyed this order. Before going out, he tried to repeat the old trick to plant Gu worms on Jing Shan, but it still ended in failure.

Now he understands that Jing Shan must have something to avoid Gu, this person is very vigilant, he will not be able to get it for a while, so he can only give up temporarily unwillingly.

In the middle of the night, he changed into night clothes and ran all the way from the inn to Liu Xiang's mansion secretly.

At this time Liu Xiang was writing a letter in the study, and when he heard movement at the door of the room, he knew it was him, and ordered in a deep voice, "Come in."

Deng Xiuchun came in through the back window, "I have seen the Prime Minister."

The lights in the room were bright, and Liu Xiang's tall figure cast a shadow on the ground. Even if he was sitting, he was not angry and majestic, with a strong sense of oppression.

Hearing Deng Xiuchun's voice, he didn't raise his head, still lying on the bank to write a letter, and asked in a cold voice, "Is it effective to ask you to approach Jing Shan?"

Deng Xiuchun subconsciously clenched his fingers, "My lord, I have seen Jing Shan during the daytime. This person is really thoughtful and suspicious by nature. Fortunately, my lord is considerate, so I didn't show my flaws."

Liu Xiang sneered a few times when he heard the words, "Then why haven't you lived in Jingfu yet?"

A line of sweat broke out on Deng Xiuchun's forehead, and his voice trembled, "My lord doesn't know, this Jing Shan is very vigilant, I wanted to play Gu on him, but he was wearing something to avoid Gu, the normal Gu The worm couldn't get close at all, so the little one came to report in the middle of the night."

"This person is difficult to deal with," Liu Xiang said, smacking his lips. "If he was really like other illiterate officials, I wouldn't have fought this person so badly."

Deng Xiuchun breathed a sigh of relief, and asked: "Then what should we do next?"

"No hurry," Liu Xiang said slowly, stroking his beard, "You kill your own identity, drive a wedge between Xue Lince and Jing Shan, and defeat them one by one!"

He bit the last sentence very hard, and slapped the table with his palm, shaking all the cups and cups placed on it, making some jingling noises.

Deng Xiuchun was sweating profusely from nervousness, lowered his head, clenched his fists and replied, "Yes, I understand."

That night, he slipped out of the back window again, and ran towards the inn in the dark, until Yueshang Zhitou's heart was still pounding, repeating the things Liu Xiang made up in his mind repeatedly.

Jing Shan felt uneasy that night, Deng Xiuchun's words sounded right, he would not be able to find any evidence to prove the falsification, he just felt strange.

Walking around in the house in the middle of the night, it was not until the lights were on and the room was dim that he suppressed his emotions and wrote a letter to Xue Lince overnight, telling him to return to the capital as soon as possible.
