When Xu Wanda heard how Shen Zexi addressed Xiao Jinyi, excitement stirred within him. Who in all of Great Qian did not know that their God of War was named Xiao Jinyi?
Xu Wanda had already suspected that Xiao Jinyi was someone extraordinary, but he had never considered that he might be Prince Jing. Now, after hearing Shen Zexi address him, he had no choice but to entertain the possibility.
Xiao Jinyi treated his future elder brother-in-law very well. When Shen Zexi asked him, he told him the truth without concealing a thing.
"Brother Shen, the person who died wasn't Wu Qiaoyun. Before coming to see you, we went to the morgue. After examining the body, A-Xu discovered that the woman didn't seem like a young lady who had grown up pampered."
"There were burns on the backs of her hands and a thin layer of calluses on the soles of her feet.
"So A-Xu began to suspect her identity. Then Lord Xu sent someone to the Wu Family to ask whether Wu Qiaoyun had any distinctive birthmarks that could confirm who she was."
"The birthmark the messenger just reported wasn't on the deceased's body. That means the person who died wasn't Wu Qiaoyun."
"If the dead woman wasn't Wu Qiaoyun, where did the real Wu Qiaoyun go? And what part did she play in all this? That's why A-Xu suspects that Wu Qiaoyun orchestrated this whole thing to frame you."
After hearing Xiao Jinyi's explanation and understanding what had happened, Shen Zexi truly felt wronged!
He wished he could go back to his grandfather's youth and drag him away before he saved Old Master Wu, leaving someone else to rescue the old man. His family wanted no part in this mess. This was some damned rotten luck!
