Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 160 Canglan Ferry (30)

"I knew it! No imposter can have the same face, let alone the same build and demeanor."

"What exactly are these Yan siblings trying to do? Why are they so determined to slander the Crown Prince as an imposter?"

"Jealous of the Jiang family's favoritism and resentful of the prince's favoritism, they set up this trap to put the prince and the Jiang family to death."

"My God, Yan Shi has such a vicious mind! I used to think she was gentle and generous, but it turns out it was all an act!"

"Fortunately, our ancestors were watching over us and preserved the bloodline of our Duke's mansion, preventing that wicked woman from succeeding!"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, and Xu Shi also breathed a sigh of relief.

She was indecisive to begin with, and had previously followed the crowd. With Yan Jinhe's confident assertion that the prince was a fake, she believed him to some extent and remained anxious.

Now that she was certain her son was real, her heart finally settled. She stepped forward and pulled Pei Ji close to examine him, tears of joy streaming down her face: "I knew it! I knew it! How could the flesh and blood I carried for ten months and gave birth to be fake?"

Pei Yuanhong and the old lady also relaxed; compared to others, they were thinking further ahead.

If the results of today's bone-drop paternity test are false, the Duke's mansion will face an unprecedented test.

They had to kill the fake prince, find the real prince, and stop the rumors to prevent the matter from leaking out and making the Duke's mansion a laughing stock in the entire capital...

Fortunately, the crown prince is real.

The test ends here.

Compared to the relieved Pei family members, the Yan siblings looked quite grim.

Yan Jinqing supported Pei Ji, watching up close as the drop of blood seeped into the remains of Old Master Pei. He was stunned for a long time.

How could this be?

Why can the blood of this fake item mix with the remains of the Pei family's ancestors?

Which link is the problem?

Yan Jinhe also fell into the same confusion.

She stared intently at Pei Ji. This person was so unfamiliar to her. He was clearly not her husband, so why could his blood be mixed with the Duke's remains?

It must be Jiang Li's doing again!

It must be her!

This woman is cunning; she even used that strange needle to prick her earlier, leaving her speechless.

She must have used some trick on the remains or Pei Ji when no one was looking, so that the imposter's blood could be mixed into the remains.

But when exactly did she do it?

How can I expose her?

Yan Jinhe was in a state of utter confusion, feeling like she was going crazy.

"The Yan clan? The Yan clan?"

Pei Yuanhong's shout brought Yan Jinhe back to reality. She suddenly looked up, her expression blank for a moment.

"……father."

Pei Yuanhong frowned and asked, "The results of the bone marrow paternity test are in. Do you have any further objections?"

Yan Jinhe opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

After a long pause, she forced herself to suppress the intense resentment and bitterness in her heart, and said dryly, "But... but if he is really the prince, why can't he remember so many things from before?"

Seeing that she was still fixated on her son, Madam Xu became somewhat annoyed and stepped forward to reprimand her.

But before she could speak, Pei Ji said to Yan Jinhe, "Even now, do you still think I'm a fraud?"

Yan Jinhe lacked confidence, and her voice grew increasingly weak: "I just... I just..."

Not reconciled!

She is not reconciled!

To admit that he is real is to admit that you are a loser, unable to hold onto your husband's heart, and even losing to a wild girl from the countryside.

She was the legitimate daughter of the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty, a proud person since childhood. How could she swallow this insult?!

"Since that's the case, I'll make it clear so you can give up completely."

As Pei Ji spoke, he untied his hair in front of everyone, revealing an old scar hidden under his hair on the back of his head.

“I suffered a severe head injury when I fell off the cliff that day. When I woke up, I had lost my memory. At first, I didn’t remember anything. If it weren’t for A-Li’s daily companionship, acupuncture, medicine and massage of acupoints, I wouldn’t even remember who I am or where I live.”

“Ah Li’s meticulous treatment restored some of my memories. With those memories, I returned to the Duke’s mansion, hoping to recall more things by being in a familiar place. But you have been pressing me relentlessly, either suspecting that Ah Li has ulterior motives or that I am an imposter. You have caused chaos in the house every day. Today, you even joined forces with Yan Jinqing to come to my door, trying to kill me.”

"Now that things have come to this, Yan Jinhe, I'll be frank. I may have had feelings for you before, but the part of my memory that I've lost includes you. To Pei Wangzhou now, you're a stranger. Your actions these past few days have chilled and disgusted me! From now on, I don't want to see you again!"

These words were powerful and resounding, and Yan Jinhe instantly felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

She was trembling violently, and tears streamed down her face.

It turns out that her husband was still her husband, but he had forgotten her.

Meeting Pei Ji's disgusted gaze, Yan Jinhe said heartbrokenly, "You want a divorce?"

Before Pei Ji could answer, Yan Zhen immediately got up, squeezed between Pei Ji and Yan Jinhe, and, with the air of a victor, puffed out her chest and provoked her, saying, "Yes, Pei Lang said a long time ago that he wanted to divorce you. He promised me that the position of the Crown Prince's wife would be mine!"

Yan Jinhe: "..."

Her eyes flashed with intense resentment, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "No! I won't get a divorce!"

Wouldn't a divorce be doing them a favor?

She could imagine what would happen after her divorce from the Crown Prince—he would immediately elevate Jiang Li to the position of Crown Prince's wife and marry her in a grand and glorious manner.

Jiang Li's unborn child will become the great-grandson of the Duke's mansion, receiving all the love and affection, and will eventually inherit the Duke's title.

Everything that originally belonged to me will be taken away by Jiang Li!

How could she let them get away with trampling on her like this!

She would not agree to a divorce. Even if she had to live out her days alone in the Duke's mansion, she would remain a thorn in their side, constantly annoying and disgusting them!

Yan Jinqing snapped out of her daze and, upon hearing Yan Jinhe's words, immediately said, "Jinhe, don't be impulsive!"

Now that things have come to this, she can no longer stay in the Duke's mansion. From now on, she doesn't know how the Pei family will view her.

Her marriage was strained, her in-laws disliked her, and there was a domineering concubine constantly putting pressure on her...

Even if the Yan family could support her and maintain her outward appearance of respectability, her maternal family could never reach into the inner chambers of her home; they couldn't control Pei Wangzhou's heart.

Staying in the Duke's mansion is tantamount to living a life of widowhood.

It would be better to divorce and return to the Yan family. After two or three years, you can remarry.

"Brother, don't try to persuade me!" Yan Jinhe made up her mind, her attitude resolute. "I will never get a divorce."

Divorce is tantamount to admitting defeat, and one should slink away with their tail between their legs.

If she doesn't divorce, she still has many opportunities to turn the tables.

Overwhelmed by hatred and resentment, Yan Jinhe quickly adjusted her mindset.

She didn't want the man who had changed his heart.

But everything else must be returned to her!
