Du Wei finished speaking, then added: "Also, his surna is Jiang!"
"I always feel that there might be so connection here!"
Prince Kang shook his head, "That’s not the case, his father is indeed surnad Jiang. I had people check his family’s background when we first got acquainted."
Du Wei pondered for a mont, "Perhaps I’m overthinking it, after all I haven’t heard Zhong Xing ntion losing a son."
After saying this, he took his leave.
Prince Kang returned to his room and saw Jiang Youzhi still sitting inside, seemingly in a daze.
Prince Kang suddenly recalled that ever since his uncle ntioned the resemblance between Jiang Youzhi and the Duke of England, he seed a bit distracted.
That truly was puzzling.
Prince Kang considered for a mont, then tentatively asked, "Is brother Jiang’s ancestry perhaps doubtful?"
Jiang Youzhi lifted his head with a bitter smile, "Indeed."
Prince Kang was taken aback, "What do you an?"
Jiang Youzhi shook his head and slowly spoke, "Before my father died, he told my grandfather that he picked up by the roadside under a tree back then. At the ti, my umbilical cord was still attached, clearly just recently born."
Prince Kang beca very excited, "So that ans it is highly possible—"
He got excited for a mont, then quickly cald down, "This can’t be stated for sure. People have resemblances."
"By the way, when your father picked you up, were you wrapped in swaddling clothes?"
Jiang Youzhi hesitated, "I think there were, I seem to have heard my father ntion that I was wrapped up, and the swaddling clothes might be with my mother."
Prince Kang curiously asked, "When did you know you weren’t born into the Jiang Family? Didn’t you consider searching for your biological parents?"
Jiang Youzhi shook his head, "I knew when I was ten years old. I’ve thought about it too. I figured maybe my parents abandoned because they were poor and couldn’t raise . In that case, whether I search or not, it’s aningless."
Prince Kang shook his head, "You don’t know, just before my uncle left, he told that not only do you resemble the Duke of England, but also have so semblance to Lady Wu."
Jiang Youzhi raised an eyebrow, "And who is Lady Wu?"
Prince Kang replied seriously, "Lady Wu is the Duke of England’s legitimate original wife."
"But Lady Wu long since separated from the Duke of England."
"It’s like a divorce, except neither wrote a divorce letter."
Jiang Youzhi seed thoughtful, "So that’s how it is."
Prince Kang thought for a mont, "Since brother Jiang’s ancestry is questionable, I think we should look into this. Just in case······"
Jiang Youzhi shook his head, "The Capital City and Xiang City are so far apart, it’s unlikely."
"If I want to find my biological parents, I should inquire around Chunlin County instead."
Prince Kang said, "That can’t be certain either. People are alive, who knows if they have ever been to Chunlin County."
Prince Kang patted Jiang Youzhi’s shoulder, "Don’t worry, Brother Jiang, I will have soone look into this matter for peace of mind whether it is or not."
Jiang Youzhi thought for a while, and then slowly nodded, "That’s true, otherwise, there will always be doubts."
The next day, Prince Kang wrote a letter and had a servant deliver it to Du Wei’s residence.
Du Wei read the letter and was astonished, not expecting Jiang Youzhi’s ancestry to have so real intrigue.
In the letter, Prince Kang asked him to inquire whether the Duke of England had lost a child eighteen years ago, and to do so discreetly to avoid awkwardness if it turns out untrue.
Du Wei thought, given his relationship with the Duke of England, there was no need to beat around the bush. He could invite the Duke out for drinks, get him intoxicated, and then ask whatever questions he wished.
So Du Wei sent an invitation via servant to the Duke Mansion, inviting him to co over for drinks that evening.
