Rumor Has It That I'm Pregnant with His Highness' Child Chapter 60

60 Dilemma

Yu Sheng ran into the study and quickly found the travelogue on the shelf.

The mont he saw the travelogue, he felt relieved.

It seed that he was thinking too much. Jiang wasn’t here to look for this book.

Maybe everything was just a misunderstanding.

However, when he opened the travelogue, he realized that the last page had been torn out.

The spine of the book still showed signs of having been torn.

Yu Sheng was stunned on the spot.

The books in this study were numbered. No one in the family but him would turn his pages, let alone tear them.

There was only one person who could do this at the mont, and that was Jiang Ze.

Mrs. Jiang and Second Master Jiang also entered the study.

They couldn’t help but ask when they saw Yu Sheng staring blankly at a book.

“Sheng, what’s wrong?”

Yu Sheng’s eyes turned red bit by bit, and his hand holding the book trembled slightly.

He looked as if she would cry in the next mont.

Mrs. Jiang’s heart ached.

She hurriedly ran over and grabbed her son’s hand. “Sheng, don’t be anxious. Tell Mother what happened.”

Yu Sheng took a deep breath and forced back his tears.

He was the eldest son of the Yu family. In the future, the entire family would rely on him. No matter how uncomfortable he was, he could not cry.

“Mother, Sister is right.”

Mrs. Jiang was confused. “What did she say?”

Yu Sheng told her the whole story.

“It was indeed my cousin who asked to et him at the wine shop. I thought it was just a simple al. I didn’t know until I got to the wine shop that he was eting other people.

Those people shared his resentnt of the current imperial court and the emperor. They wrote poems under the influence of alcohol. Those poems could make us lose our heads if they spread.

Terrified, I made an excuse and left.I thought that was the end of that matter. I didn’t expect the Eagle Guards to co knocking the next day.”

Mrs. Jiang’s heart ached when she heard that.

“Why didn’t you tell this to the Eagle Guards?”

Yu Sheng lowered his eyes and said in pain.

“Jiang Ze is my cousin after all. If I expose him, he will definitely die. I don’t want him to die. I don’t want Mother to be sad. I thought about putting it off for a while. Anyway, the Eagle Guards have no evidence to convict . As long as I survive the interrogation, I should be fine.”

Mrs. Jiang could not help but cry.

She punched her son with her hand and choked.

“You silly child, don’t you know how ruthless the Eagle Guards are? If they really torture you, you’ll at least be skinned alive!”

Yu Sheng naturally knew how terrifying the Eagle Guards were.

But in that situation, he had no choice.

He whispered, “Mother, don’t cry. It’s all my fault. I didn’t think carefully and made you worry.”

Second Master Jiang, who had been silent, couldn’t help but explain.

“Is there so misunderstanding? Ah Ze isn’t that kind of bad child.”

Yu Sheng’s voice was bitter. “I didn’t believe that my cousin would do that to , but the evidence is right in front of .”

He held up the travelogue and pointed to the remaining tear marks on the spine.

“My cousin gave this book. I rember a piece of doggerel written by him on the last page, but now it is gone, too. It was torn up by him because he knew the book would expose him.”

Second Master Jiang was still trying his best to explain. “No, Ah Ze wouldn’t do such a thing. You must be mistaken.”

He looked at Mrs. Jiang and asked her to say sothing.

“You watched Ah Ze grow up. You should know his nature. He can’t harm Sheng.”

On the left was her son, and on the right was her brother. Mrs. Jiang was in a dilemma.

At that mont, Yu Kangtai arrived.
