Chapter 1050: Chapter 892: Rumors in the Streets?

Upon hearing the Xie couple inquire about Xie Si, Ji Youzhi quickly spoke.

"The matter regarding Xie Si should be resolved soon. Princess Ata’s case has been clarified and is not much related to Xie Si, but a certain opportunity within is still needed to release Xie Si!"

"Really?

You wouldn’t deceive us, Divine Hunter Ji!"

Mrs. Xie was overjoyed upon hearing this, almost to the point of tears.

"Did Divine Hunter Ji come specifically for this, or is there something else?"

Mr. Xie believed that Ji Youzhi isn’t someone who would idly visit; much time has passed since Xie Si’s incident. If he truly came for Xie Si, he would have arrived earlier.

"That’s correct, I came this time for another matter!"

"Another matter?"

The Xie couple looked at Ji Youzhi with confusion and concern!

"It’s regarding Miss Pan’Er!"

"Pan’Er?

What happened to her?

She returned some days ago, hurriedly, dined with us once, and then left.

Divine Hunter Ji! Pan’Er has always been residing at the Ji Mansion, claiming to accompany the Grand Princess. Surely nothing has happened to her?"

Madam Xie urgently asked Ji Youzhi, appearing extremely anxious!

"Madam Xie, please don’t worry, Miss Pan’Er is fine. I am currently investigating an old case.

The matter involves a wandering Daoist from over a decade ago. That Daoist was a charlatan, defrauding people. According to him, more than ten years ago, he visited the Xie’s estate in the suburbs, performing some heaven-defying ritual for Madam Xie!"

"Ah..."

Upon hearing Ji Youzhi’s words, Mrs. Xie’s hand trembled slightly, spilling some water!

Ji Youzhi turned to look at her, and Mr. Xie quickly asked, "What’s wrong?"

Mrs. Xie quickly replied, "It’s nothing, just accidentally spilled too much tea, scalded my hand!"

After saying this, Mrs. Xie told Ji Youzhi, "Please continue, Divine Hunter Ji!"

"It’s like this, I wanted to clarify with madam, is the birth date of Pan’Er that you publicly announced really hers?"

Upon Ji Youzhi’s inquiry, Mr. Xie said, "What do you mean by this, Divine Hunter Ji?"

However, Mrs. Xie’s expression changed; she raised her hand to stop Mr. Xie from speaking further.

"It happened over a decade ago; if Divine Hunter Ji hadn’t asked today, I might have completely forgotten about it.

Well then! It’s been so long; now our family is free from the control of the main family, and Wulang’s Gu Insect is also lifted. They no longer have any leverage; let me tell you about this!

"The birth date of Pan’Er publicly announced is not hers!"

"It’s not Pan’Er’s? Is it Xie Yingying’s?"

As Ji Youzhi listened halfway, he thought to himself: Things have finally aligned!

"That’s right, it’s Xie Yingying’s. After Madam gave birth to Xie Yingying, she kept crying incessantly, was weak, and later a Daoist came, claiming to be some kind of Celestial Master.

After meeting Madam Xie, we don’t know what he did, but soon enough, Xie Yingying stopped crying.

Madam Xie brought me Xie Yingying’s birth date, forcing me to accept it, saying that from then on, it would be our Xie Pan’Er’s birth date."

"I see!"

After learning the truth, Ji Youzhi sighed with emotion.

Xie Madam and Mr. Xie looked at him, their eyes filled with doubt.

"This matter..."

"It’s nothing! I just came to verify the truth!"

After saying this, Ji Youzhi mentioned that the Ji family wanted to recognize Xie Pan’Er as an adopted daughter.

The Xie couple was taken aback.

"Madam Ji wants to adopt our Pan’Er as her goddaughter? Divine Hunter Ji, you’re not joking, are you?"

"Certainly not! My mother said that in a few days, after my two sisters-in-law return from outside, she will host a gathering with the ladies and young misses of the capital."

"This... we truly thank Madam Ji for her affection toward our Pan’Er!"

After weighing the options, Mrs. Xie ultimately did not refuse the Ji family!

Meanwhile, at the Li Family.

The National Master sat in the main seat, and beside him was steaming tea.

Li Xu accompanied him with a smiling face at the side!

"The visit of the National Master has indeed graced our humble abode!

I’m afraid I failed to welcome you properly today!"

The National Master gazed at Li Xu calmly, directly stating his purpose.

"Where is my disciple?

Let her come forward to meet me!"

Li Xu, putting on a flattering face, promptly replied.

"Yanyan is recuperating in their separate courtyard. Though this child is gravely injured, she chants ’Master, Master’ every day, showing considerable filial piety.
