After their minds were read, the entire court trembled with fear.

Chapter 63 The Ministry of Works Assistant: He's my biological son! I really am his biological

What's wrong with this village chief?

The old emperor and the officials from the Ministry of Works simultaneously turned their heads to look at the young village chief.

village head:???

For some reason, he had a feeling that these officials from the Ministry of Works wanted to eat him alive.

Oh my god, oh my god!

Shen Zhiyi was so excited that her face turned red.

What a huge surprise!

The old emperor and his ministers present: They didn't understand. What big scandal could an ordinary village chief possibly have?

Oh my god, I never expected this.

Shen Zhiyi licked her lips, glanced at the old emperor, then at Zhang Sheren, and then at the great scholar.

[Waaaaah, I really want to share this with someone. How can I be the only one who knows this?]

Great, Shen Zhiyi has successfully captured everyone's attention.

The old emperor stroked his beard.

He didn't believe that an ordinary village chief could have any big secrets to reveal.

Surely the bandit who destroyed the Imperial Seal couldn't possibly be his ancestor.

What a thrilling scene! Both parties involved are right here.

two?

Everyone present is a human spirit.

Shen Zhiyi was talking about the gossip surrounding the village chief, so she must be one of the parties involved.

Aren't the remaining parties involved just one of them?

The officials from the Ministry of Works first looked at themselves, then at the old emperor.

The old emperor fiercely plucked out one of his own whiskers.

No, what do you guys mean?!

[Tsk tsk tsk, I've only ever seen the tricks of fake heiresses, never the tricks of fake young masters.]

Everyone: Huh? What is that?

[This village chief, by all accounts, should be the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy, a legitimate son of the emperor.]

Everyone: This village chief is actually related to the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy.

After everyone had been sighing for a while, their gazes quickly turned to the Ministry of Works official.

Goodness, if they remember correctly, isn't the Imperial Academy Chancellor the father of the Ministry of Works Assistant Minister?

The Ministry of Works official hesitated for a moment, then, taking advantage of Shen Zhiyi's immersion in the gossip, he retorted in a low voice.

"He's my biological child! He really is my biological child!"

The old emperor and his ministers withdrew their gazes.

After all, the Ministry of Works official did look very much like his father.

But then again, the village chief does look quite similar to the chief priest.

For a moment, everyone's expressions became subtle.

The love stories of the older generation are so melodramatic!

After a few words of reflection, Shen Zhiyi couldn't hold back any longer and started rattling off like a machine gun.

About forty years ago, the wife of the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy and his mistress gave birth to children on the same day, both of whom gave birth to sons. This delighted the Chancellor.

Just as the chief minister was pondering how to tell his wife to bring their son back from outside, he encountered a fortune teller.

The fortune teller said that the son in his household would bring him great disaster, ranging from losing his official position to losing his life.

Shen Zhiyi couldn't help but roll her eyes in disgust.

I'm truly amazed by these superstitious people from ancient times; they actually believed such absurd claims.

[It's one thing to believe it, but what you did afterward was really despicable!]

[The chief priest was worried that the child he had with his legal wife would bring him bad luck, and he was also worried that his legal wife wouldn't want to take his illegitimate child back, so he simply went all out and switched his child with his legal wife's child with the child from his mistress!]

Many of the people present found it hard to accept.

Zhang Sheren, in particular, felt that his Daoist heart had been shattered.

He couldn't help but exclaim, "This, this is impossible."

"What do you mean it's impossible?"

Shen Zhiyi tilted her head and looked at Zhang Sheren with curiosity.

Zhang Sheren received a glare from the old emperor that seemed to be filled with daggers, and he chickened out.

“Well, I was saying that it’s impossible for Gunbang Village to be without duck farmers, since the conditions are right and roast duck sells well in Dajing.”

Shen Zhiyi nodded in agreement, her mouth practically watering.

The roast duck at Dajing is really good. I've decided to buy some to eat after I finish my shift tonight.

After Shen Zhiyi, who suffers from polyencephalopathy, had her attention diverted, Zhang Sheren secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but soon felt uncomfortable again.

The Chancellor of the Imperial Academy was highly respected and admired by many students.

They simply couldn't believe that what Shen Zhiyi had just said was something the chief priest had actually done.

The Ministry of Works official also found it hard to accept at first.

His eyes were fixed on the young village chief.

She does look somewhat like her father.

Moreover, Shen Zhiyi's artifact system never makes a mistake.

That system records everything in the world, so those beastly acts were actually committed by his father?

"you……"

The young village chief bowed with his hands clasped in a salute to the Ministry of Works official.

"What are your orders, sir? Are you asking about the ducks? There are quite a few ducks in the village, but there are really very few geese."

The Ministry of Works official nodded somewhat dejectedly: "That's enough. Our purpose this time was to impart some knowledge so that everyone can dress warmly in the winter."

This Ministry of Works official is quite well-behaved; his temperament is neither like his father's nor his mother's.

His...mother?

The Ministry of Works official felt a pang in his heart, thinking of his mother who was already lying in a sickbed.

The chief priest's wife was a very gentle woman who treated him extremely well.

That high-ranking official probably still doesn't know that the fortune teller he encountered back then was actually hired by his mistress.

[After learning that the Grand Master had no intention of bringing her into the household, the concubine wanted to cause him some trouble, which led to the fortune teller incident.]

However, the mistress never expected that the chief priest would actually switch her child with his legal wife's.

Shen Zhiyi watched as the woman in the surveillance footage tightly gripped the priest's robe.

The tears can't stop flowing.

[The mistress: Please, please give me back my child.]

[The scumbag chief: Ms. Peng, shouldn't you be happy that I did this?]

[The mistress: What am I happy about? My child! I beg you, please give him back to me!]

[The scumbag chieftain said: Think about it carefully. Your child is now my legitimate son. Everything I have in the future will be his. Once my legal wife leaves, I will naturally bring you into the manor. You just need to wait a little longer; you will be rewarded with wealth and honor in the future.]

Shen Zhiyi couldn't help but put her hands on her hips.

[Idiot~]

A man's words are like a devil's lies; believing them is like believing pigs can fly.

"Ahhhh, my pig is up in a tree! Someone please help me get it down!"

A shout from outside was clearly audible.

"Pfft."

Unable to hold it in any longer, the Minister of Works immediately found a familiar excuse: "Excuse me, I farted."

Shen Zhiyi: ...

[Ziqiao, look, I really saw a pig climbing a tree.]

【Aaaaaah, you heartless bastard! What are you doing climbing that tree, you dead pig outside?】

Tell me, was it the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy who forced you?

The old emperor looked at Shen Zhiyi with pity.

Look at this child, he's broken down.
