Chapter 215 The Prince Recognizes Him
There were only two "bangs" of heavy objects falling to the ground, followed by a wailing:
"Oh my, my Lord, you are really going to kill me!"
"Ouch, my old body is in so much pain!"
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei hurriedly stood at the door to watch, only to see that the two people outside the door were kicked to the ground by the idiot.
Jiang Yuwei looked at the idiot with complicated eyes. If she had known that he was such a good fighter, why was she so nervous last night?
Just as Jiang Yuwei was secretly complaining, she saw the two people on the ground struggling to get up, supporting each other and walking in front of the idiot.
With a plop, they all knelt down in front of the fool.
"Your Highness, I am incompetent. I failed to protect you!"
"My Lord, please come back to the capital with me as soon as possible! The princess is alone in the capital and is in imminent danger!"
Jiang Yuwei looked at the scene between the two and jumped back a few times. She turned to look at the idiot and saw that he looked calm, as if he was often worshipped like this.
Jiang Yuwei frowned and said:
"You two should stand up first. The idiot has lost his memory. It's not certain whether he is the prince you are looking for. Besides, what evidence do you have to prove that what you said is true?"
After hearing what Jiang Yuwei said, Wang Ma burst into tears. She stood up, took the idiot's arm, looked at him with a distressed look, and said:
"My Lord, why is your life so miserable? My Lord! Woo woo woo ..."
Seeing this, Yun Qing also stood up and waved his hands at the fool nervously, saying:
"Prince, Prince! Can you see me?"
Seeing this, the fool frowned and said:
"I have lost my memory, not gone blind!"
Jiang Yuwei saw that Yun Qing and Wang Ma were not as smart as a fool, and that she had really made a fuss last night, so she instructed everyone in the courtyard:
"Okay, it's okay, you all can go home."
After hearing Jiang Yuwei's words, everyone hurried back home to dig traps.
Jiang Yuwei looked at the two people outside the courtyard who seemed to have not slept all night and had dark circles under their eyes, so she said:
"You guys come in first."
After hearing this, Aunt Wang hurriedly took the fool's hand and led him into the yard.
Yun Qing looked at the yard vigilantly and stepped in carefully.
Jiang Yuwei invited them to sit at the stone table, looked at Wang Ma and said:
"Mother Wang, how can you make me believe what you say?"
After hearing what Jiang Yuwei said, Wang Ma reluctantly moved her gaze from the idiot's face to Jiang Yuwei.
"Now that things have come to this, I will tell you the truth. This is the prince of our Prince Jing's Mansion. His real name is Ning Zixuan. He is not a fool as you say."
At this point, Wang Ma glared at Jiang Yuwei unwillingly and continued:
"I came here this time to bring the prince back to the palace..."
Just as Wang Ma was speaking, Ning Huaizhi also came out of the house pushing a wheelchair.
When Wang Ma saw Ning Huaizhi's face, she opened her mouth in surprise and pointed at Ning Huaizhi and said:
"Why, why are there two princes..."
Seeing this, Yun Qing also looked in the direction of Wang Ma's finger, but was stunned for a moment before frowning and saying:
"Wang Ma, please stop being crazy. This is our prince. The one in the wheelchair just looks a little like him. I've been with him all day and I won't make a mistake."
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei also nodded and said:
"This is my husband. He grew up in Ningjia Village and has never been to the capital or Prince Jing's Mansion."
After hearing this, Wang Ma patted her chest slowly and said with a wry smile:
"I made a mistake. I didn't expect there would be someone so similar in the world. I'm afraid it must be fate."
Jiang Yuwei didn't want to listen to Wang Ma's nonsense. She just wanted Wang Ma to prove that what she said was true, so that she could feel at ease to let them stay in the courtyard.
Jiang Yuwei looked at Wang Ma and said:
"Do you have any evidence for what you just said?"
After hearing this, Wang Ma hurriedly took out a cloth bag from her arms, carefully opened it, took out half of the jade pendant, and handed it to Jiang Yuwei.
"This jade pendant was handed to me personally by the princess before I left the capital. The prince should also have a jade pendant that matches this one."
Ning Huaizhi, who was standing nearby, heard this and said to Jiang Yuwei:
"Yuwei, go to my room and get the lacquered wooden box from under the table."
Jiang Yuwei got up without saying a word, went into Ning Huaizhi's room, took out the wooden box, and put it in Ning Huaizhi's hand.
Ning Huaizhi took the wooden box, opened it, took out half of the jade pendant, handed it to Jiang Yuwei and said:
"I found this jade pendant on the fool the day I rescued him. I thought it would be useful in the future, so I helped him put it away."
Jiang Yuwei nodded and started to piece the jade pendant together with Wang Ma's piece. But as soon as she finished, she frowned and said:
"Why is there a piece missing here?"
After hearing this, Wang Ma leaned over to look, and sighed helplessly at the gap in the jade pendant.
"Well, it's a long story. This jade pendant was originally a relic left to the princess by her mother. She has always worn it with her. When the princess was young, she often followed the prince to fight in wars. The couple had a very good relationship."
As she spoke, Wang Ma took the two jade pendants from Jiang Yuwei and began to stroke them.
"I still remember that year, the princess was pregnant, but the prince was assigned by the emperor to go to the border to fight against the Hu people. The prince didn't want to take the princess with him to take risks, but the princess insisted on going with him."
As Wang Ma spoke, she looked up at the horizon with cloudy eyes and shook her head helplessly.
"However, the prince was careless and lost the battle. When the prince and the princess were fleeing, the princess's first son was born in the grass by the roadside."
Wang Ma carefully placed the jade pendant in her hand on the table and continued:
"The princess was worried that the child would not survive if he fled with her, so she reluctantly gave the child to a servant of the Ning family, asking him to live with the child in hiding."
Wang Ma looked at the gap in the jade pendant and said:
"The princess only had this jade pendant on her at the time, so she smashed it with a stone, took one of the pieces and placed it on the young master. The princess thought that if she could meet the young master in the future, she would have a token of recognition."
When Wang Ma said this, her eyes were already filled with tears. She took out a handkerchief, gently wiped her tears and said helplessly:
"Who would have thought that the princess would not live long before she even saw her eldest son."
Jiang Yuwei saw that what Wang Ma said was sincere and did not seem to be a lie. She also looked like a loyal servant. Plus, with the jade pendant as a token of trust, it made sense.
Therefore, Jiang Yuwei relaxed her vigilance towards Wang Ma and Qingyun.
Jiang Yuwei got up and took out the remaining breakfast from the pot, then said to Wang Ma and Qingyun:
"I'm really sorry for what happened to you two. Have some breakfast first. I'll arrange a room for you later. You can have some sleep first."
At this moment, the door of the courtyard was kicked open, and Ning Chunlin was seen standing at the gate with a bruised face and nose, staring at Jiang Yuwei with resentful eyes.
