[Is this the truth? 】
Pei Wende couldn't help but glance at Aunt Zhu, who was full of prejudice in her heart. Pei Wende did not continue to ask any more questions.
After all, with Aunt Zhu's current mentality, no matter how much she continued to ask, she would definitely get negative news about Zhao Yanwei.
Anyway, Pei Wende didn't think things would be what she said.
After all, no matter which dynasty or generation, they all take the matter of imperial examination fraud very seriously.
If Zhao Yanwei really got the second place in the examination by someone else, the outcome would definitely not be as simple as just getting rid of his fame but retaining his status as a scholar.
"Fifth aunt?"
It has to be said that Zhao Yanwei's management of Zhujiazhuang is very good.
Almost not long after Pei Wende and Aunt Zhu entered Zhujiazhuang, a young boy of thirteen or fourteen years old appeared in front of them.
"Fifth Aunt, where have you been today?"
"I've been looking for you all day, but I couldn't find you."
"Also, the food cooked by Third Uncle today is absolutely terrible. It's not as delicious as yours at all!"
The person who stopped him was none other than Zhu Huaigu, the son of Zhao Yanwei and Zhu Run and the younger brother of Zhu Yiniang.
Compared with his biological parents, he is obviously more dependent on Aunt Zhu, and he even sounds a little coquettish when he speaks.
If he hadn't known Aunt Zhu's identity in advance, Pei Wende would not have doubted that Zhu Huaigu was Aunt Zhu's biological son.
"Auntie went to Jinshan Temple today, so she missed her meal."
Rubbing Zhu Huaigu's little face apologetically, Aunt Zhu looked at Pei Wende beside her as she spoke.
"This is an eminent monk from Jinshan Temple. He is a distinguished guest specially invited by my aunt."
Hearing this, the brat-like Zhu Huaigu immediately rolled his eyes and his voice deliberately became a little lower.
"He came here for his sister?"
Seeing Zhu Huaigu's unabashed doubts, Pei Wende couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Because he suddenly discovered that the identity that Aunt Zhu thought she had concealed well was not as well-hidden as she thought.
In this day and age, teenagers aged thirteen or fourteen already know a lot of things they should know.
Especially Zhu Huaigu, who was born into a wealthy family and only started to lose in the past two years.
He would be so close to his cook, even to the point of not shying away from her, which is almost unbelievable when you think about it.
But looking at it from another perspective, if Zhu Yiniang and Zhu Huaigu had known Aunt Zhu's identity a long time ago, this kind of intimacy that goes far beyond a master and servant would be understandable.
It can only be said that Zhu Huaigu is still a bit young after all.
Although he knew how to help Aunt Zhu hide her identity, his various actions revealed his thoughts and ideas.
The only thing Pei Wende is curious about now is whether only Zhu Yiniang and Zhu Huaigu in the entire Zhu family know the identity of Aunt Zhu, or does everyone know the identity of Aunt Zhu?
Although judging from the current situation, the latter is more likely.
[In this way, it can explain the various loopholes in Aunt Zhu’s previous remarks. 】
The whole family played house with Aunt Zhu, pretending not to know her identity and abilities.
If Pei Wende's guess was true, he wouldn't know how to evaluate this strange family.
"Don't be so rude. Zen Master Fahai has profound magic power and vast supernatural powers. He will definitely be able to save his mother-in-law."
After gently knocking Zhu Huaigu on the head, Aunt Zhu also lowered her voice and scolded.
Although the Zhu family didn't want to make the matter a big deal and make it known to everyone.
But Zhujiazhuang has actually known about Zhu Yiniang's affairs for a long time, and the current behavior of the two of them is somewhat cover-up.
However, Aunt Zhu doesn't care about this. Compared with the so-called good reputation and reputation, she just wants to save Zhu Yi Niang now.
"Zen Master Fahai?"
The doubt instantly turned into surprise. Zhu Huaigu had heard of Zen Master Fahai.
Coupled with Aunt Zhu's assurance, Zhu Huaigu had no idea about the authenticity of Pei Wende's identity, but instead looked at him curiously.
"But……"
Suddenly, Zhu Huaigu seemed to have remembered something, and a hesitant look appeared on his face.
It is impossible for Zhu Huaigu not to know about the rumors in Zhujiazhuang.
"Grandpa didn't mean..."
He hesitated and opened his mouth. Zhu Huaigu wanted to save his sister from the bottom of his heart.
However, Zhu Huaigu knew better that his grandfather could not tolerate sand in his eyes, and a granddaughter who was "suspected of losing her virginity" would only bring notoriety to the Zhu family.
"The Zhu family is no longer the Zhu family before. Do we still care about reputation and prestige?"
Unceremoniously interrupting Zhu Huaigu's words, Aunt Zhu said sharply.
At this moment, she seemed to have forgotten her identity as a cook, and was full of disgust at what the old man of the Zhu family was doing.
After hearing the other party's scolding, Zhu Huaigu seemed to have ignored this point, and the hesitation on his face disappeared.
"Fifth Aunt is right. My mother is the one in charge now anyway."
It seemed like he was cheering himself up, but also seemed like he was just echoing...
Zhu Huaigu, whose hesitation had faded, no longer hesitated, turned around and began to lead the way for Pei Wende and Aunt Zhu.
"Let's go, while grandpa is still in the ancestral temple, let's go home quickly and explain the matter clearly to my mother."
"Even if grandpa comes back by then, he won't be able to object."
Pei Wende, who followed Zhu Huaigu closely and watched everything the whole time, was finally sure that the Zhu family must have known Aunt Zhu's identity for a long time.
The only person who was kept in the dark, except perhaps Aunt Zhu herself, was the old man of the Zhu family.
[This family is really interesting. 】
Looking around calmly, Pei Wende noticed that as the two of them officially entered Zhujiazhuang, the nearby farmers were staring at the two of them warily.
Or to be more precise, they were staring at the eight-sided sword in Aunt Zhu's hand.
Breaking into Zhujiazhuang with a sword, even if he is an acquaintance like Aunt Zhu, he will inevitably be wary of the farmers.
This is just like in the 21st century China, if a person is wandering around on the street with a gun, even if he is an acquaintance, no one will be assured, right?
Not to mention, the rumors about Zhu Yiniang losing her virginity were spread by people in Zhujiazhuang themselves.
In this small village where we have close ties with each other, everyone knows what kind of character Aunt Zhu is, so how could the farmers not be vigilant?
[However, are they really just afraid of the sword in Aunt Zhu’s hand? 】
Thinking of this, Pei Wende thought of the pig demon's repeated actions to change the conditions.
The pig demon seems to be able to know what is happening in Zhujiazhuang, and it can also send the conditions it proposes to Zhujiazhuang without anyone noticing.
This doesn't look like something a normal spirit can do.
[Even if the pig demon is not hiding in Zhujiazhuang, there must be an internal agent in Zhujiazhuang. 】
