Chapter 219 -220: Concealing Identity for Now
Ah Mo returned from outside and was about to report Chu Yu’s situation to Pei Huaian when he saw his master staring blankly at the test paper.
He walked over slowly and asked cautiously, “Master, are you thinking of conducting a paternity test with the young master?”
Pei Huaian came to his senses, put away the test paper in his hand, and turned his head to ask, “How’s everything handled?”
Ah Mo immediately reported, “Everything is under control. Chu Yu had no choice but to take on that case. On his way home, he got stuffed into a sack and beaten up—not too seriously, but enough to keep him from daring to step out of the door for a few days.”
“No clues were left behind, right?”
Ah Mo shook his head, “Those ruffians always disliked Chu Yu. Now they had the incentive of silver and a chance to vent on him, naturally, they were willing.”
“And after the incident, they hurriedly took the silver and left the Capital City. By the time Chu Yu wants to look for them, it’s probably not going to be so easy.”
Pei Huaian nodded in satisfaction.
“Master, everyone now assumes Doctor Shao is the former Lady of the Marquis of Pingnan. Even if you find out whether the child is yours or not, you can’t marry Doctor Shao.”
Ah Mo was afraid the master might do something rash. After all, when it came to matters involving Doctor Shao, it wasn’t the first time the master had lost control.
Now the master was surrounded by dangers, and a slight misstep could lead to ruin. The master had been careful for many years, but it shouldn’t all be destroyed for Doctor Shao.

Pei Huaian pursed his lips and remained silent, understanding all too well.
“Master, even if you are determined to marry her, The Emperor wouldn’t agree, and besides, the Empress is watching you like a tiger eyeing its prey. You cannot acknowledge everything at this moment, not even for the safety of Doctor Shao and the young master.”
Ah Mo, seeing the silent figure, was extremely anxious inside and couldn’t help but attempt to persuade him again.
He really feared in a moment of impulsiveness, the master would do something irreversible.
Pei Huaian let out a long breath and didn’t answer his question, but instead asked, “How about Zhao Xiu?”
“Zhao Xiu is well protected. He has told everything he knows. It was the Empress’s people who acted, but we have no evidence right now.”
The Empress would never allow any loose ends; it was pure chance that Zhao Xiu survived. Otherwise, with the Empress’s ruthlessness, Zhao Xiu would have met King Yan long ago.
“How’s Yun Qian’s investigation going?”
Pei Huaian actually hoped he could discover something, which would be beneficial to him.
“Imperial Doctor Yun’s investigation has made no progress, after all, Imperial Doctor Yun has been dead for a long time, and he wasn’t in the Capital City.” Ah Mo paused, then continued, “But it seems someone at the Imperial Medical Bureau is helping him, though it’s unclear who.”
“Provide some appropriate assistance to Yun Qian. Perhaps he really might uncover the truth of what happened back then. Only by completely toppling the Empress can Doctor Shao and the child’s identity be revealed safely.”
In reality, Pei Huaian had no wish to expose the child’s identity, knowing well that the current situation was precarious. If the child’s identity were known, it could attract unwanted attention.
The child’s identity must be kept secret at all costs for the time being and must not be easily revealed, especially to those in the imperial palace.
…
Shao He received a one-month-old birthday invitation sent by Jhiang Yijia, informing the sender she would attend.
Seeing the invitation to the one-month-old banquet, Qingxia expressed surprise and couldn’t help but say, “I didn’t expect Young Master Fang to be so good to Miss Jhiang and the child.”
This caught Shao He’s attention, and she turned her head to ask in confusion, “Why do you say that?”
Qingxia explained, “I asked Miss Jhiang’s personal maid, and I heard that Lady Fang had strongly objected to holding a one-month-old banquet for the child. Now suddenly an invitation has arrived; surely it must be Young Master Fang’s decision.”
Shao He nodded in agreement upon hearing this, “Fang Jue is indeed a rare good man. Although Jhiang Yijia’s mother-in-law is not that great, her husband is still decent.”
Qingxia immediately asked, “Miss, do we need to prepare anything then?”
“Prepare some baby supplies, and also a longevity lock.” Shao He was also attending such a banquet for the first time. Not sure what to prepare, she decided to bring an array of items for the child.
“I’ll take care of it right away,” said Qingxia, who stopped halfway out and turned back to look at Shao He, then hesitated before suggesting, “Miss, should I prepare a new outfit and some jewelry for you? When attending the one-month-old banquet, you should dress appropriately.”
Shao He knew Qingxia wasn’t one to be concerned with appearances, but since she suggested it, there must have been gossip at the Fang Family. So, she nodded in agreement.
She didn’t want to dress up deliberately, but dressing appropriately for the banquet was a form of respect to others.
Upon hearing her miss’s agreement, Qingxia ran out happily.
That evening, Pei Huaian leaned against the door of his room, staring blankly at the neighboring courtyard.
Ah Mo, seeing his master like this, felt a pang of pity. The master had been standing there for over an hour, lost in thought.
He approached and asked, “Master, do you need me to bring Doctor Shao and the child over, and find a way to distract Doctor Shao so you can have the opportunity to do the paternity test?”
