Liang Zhaoyi let out a gentle sigh. "For him, this might be a good thing. If he rembered the past, he might live in hatred every day."
Zhao Yao sat on the chair with his arms crossed, frowning, and his expression was sowhat grave.
"This... is quite difficult to handle..."
Liang Zhaoyi quickly asked, "Why is it difficult to handle?"
"Once Ding Yuan’s identity as a direct descendant of the Pei Family is exposed, I’m afraid Ding Yuan won’t survive. Although the previous dynasty has been destroyed, Han Zhong in Shu still harbors intentions towards the Pei Family." Zhao Yao tapped his right hand fingers lightly on the left arm, "If Han Zhong finds out there’s a survivor from the Pei Family, he absolutely won’t spare Ding Yuan. He will definitely torture Ding Yuan for information about the Pei Family’s Treasure, but Ding Yuan doesn’t have the mory of the Pei Family."
"What you say is very possible, but no one else knows about Ding Yuan being a mber of the Pei Family," Liang Zhaoyi said, "Besides us, no one in this world knows about the peach blossom birthmark on the direct descendants of the Pei Family."
"Not necessarily. Han Zhong might know there’s a surviving mber of the Pei Family, and he might have been searching for them all along," Zhao Yao said thoughtfully, "The Pei Family must have sothing extraordinary, otherwise Han Zhong in Shu wouldn’t secretly send people to the capital to infiltrate the abandoned residence of the Pei Family."
He continued, "Since Han Zhong found out the Pei Family has sothing extraordinary, he might also know about the peach blossom birthmark on the direct descendants of the Pei Family."
Liang Zhaoyi found Zhao Yao’s words reasonable. She furrowed her brows slightly and said, "We absolutely must not let Han Zhong’s people know of Ding Yuan’s existence."
"Fortunately, only a few of us have seen the peach blossom birthmark on Ding Yuan, besides , even Uncle didn’t pay attention to Ding Yuan’s birthmark."
"That’s good. In the future, take Ding Yuan less to the bathhouse," Liang Zhaoyi instructed, "The fewer people who see his birthmark, the better."
"Naturally, but how do I remind Ding Yuan not to easily show his birthmark to others?" Zhao Yao pondered, "Should I tell Ding Yuan about his identity? Perhaps telling him might make him rember sothing?"
"Yao Yao, is regaining his mory a good thing or a bad thing for him?"
"Mother Consort, the emperor of the previous dynasty is already dead, even if Ding Yuan regains his mory, he can’t seek revenge," Zhao Yao said, "Besides, it’s been so long, he can’t live in hatred. Most importantly, he is the last bloodline of the Pei Family, Noble Consort Pei and others definitely hope he can live well as a mber of the Pei Family."
"Are you planning to tell him his identity?"
Zhao Yao nodded slightly, "Whether or not he can regain his past mory, I think it’s better to tell him."
"Then go ahead and tell him." Liang Zhaoyi thought of the Pei Family’s Treasure and reminded Zhao Yao, "If he regains his mory one day and thinks you kept him for the Pei Family’s Treasure, what will you do then?"
"I’m not interested in the Pei Family’s Treasure, it’s a hot potato to , I don’t want to stir up trouble," Zhao Yao said, "Even if Ding Yuan regains his mory in the future and kindly tells about the Pei Family’s Treasure, I still don’t want to hear it. That treasure, he should keep it himself." Although he loved money, he wouldn’t accept money that brought trouble or danger. Besides, he could earn money himself.
Liang Zhaoyi deliberately said, "Perhaps the treasure left by the Pei Family is so abundant it could rival a nation."
"That also depends on whether I have the fortune to use it," Zhao Yao said with a smirk, "Though I love money, I cherish my life more."
Hearing Zhao Yao say this, Liang Zhaoyi felt relieved.
"Then go tell him, let him know of his lineage."
"I’ll tell him during my break next month."
Once Liang Zhaoyi and Zhao Yao finished their discussion, Gui Xing and Tong Xi dared to enter and report about Yingpin’s promotion to Princess Consort Ying and Noble Princess Consort Rong being expelled from the Imperial Study by the emperor.
"So it was Noble Princess Consort Rong who sent soone to assassinate Princess Consort Ying," Zhao Yao said with an amused smile, "Noble Princess Consort Rong is truly daring."
"She is testing your father."
"Testing Father?" Zhao Yao thought for a mont and imdiately understood, "She’s trying to see who is more important in Father’s heart, her or Princess Consort Ying?"
"Yes."
"Then it seems her test has failed," Zhao Yao laughed gleefully, "Currently, in Father’s heart, Princess Consort Ying is more important."
Liang Zhaoyi only smiled slightly upon hearing this.
"Things are going to get lively soon."
anwhile, Ding Yuan took Tong An back to the rundown place where he used to live as a beggar.
