Help! The Frosty Noble's Son Is in Love With Me!-Chapter 346: Without DNA, How Can You Tell?

Originally, from the very beginning Pei Ji’an, Xiao Shiqing, and the emperor knew this princess was fake, but they still pretended to know nothing and brought her back.

It was to catch the person behind the scenes.

Qu Fulan was very surprised when she heard this, "How did you know the princess was fake? Without DNA, how can you determine?"

Pei Ji’an looked at her, was silent for a while, and asked, "What does ’dnah’ mean?"

Qu Fulan: "...Dialect, just means evidence, don’t mind these little details."

Pei Ji’an indeed didn’t mind, "That only the Emperor and Nanny Lai know, no one else knows."

If too many people knew, then the fake could truly become real.

Evidently, King Jie didn’t know either, otherwise, he’d have made a real one.

Or perhaps King Jie knows, but he has hidden the real one for other purposes, that’s uncertain.

But what can be confirmed now is that this one is fake.

They initially asked King Jie about the princess’s whereabouts, Nanny Lai went along to see, confirmed it wasn’t real, but for the plan, they followed the situation, hosted a grand event and brought the person back, making the person behind the scenes think they believe it.

"Then how do you determine that this Princess Zhuyu isn’t in collusion with them?"

"This is related to King Jie’s character. When he sets up a scheme, he generally doesn’t leave many traces. The more primitive the situation, the more it can allure people. Hence this princess clearly doesn’t know she’s a pawn. Now being brought back to the palace to become a princess, others find her, using her true identity to manipulate her, surely can make her work for them."

Qu Fulan understood his meaning, which was that from a young age, Princess Zhuyu was raised in that place arranged by King Jie’s people, but over the years they never visited, just let her grow freely, until the time was ripe, they informed the emperor of this news.

A child of the emperor’s beloved, the emperor would surely favor, then they would easily use this princess to achieve the goals of those behind the scenes.

No wonder Princess Zhuyu panicked upon seeing the note, she was clearly innocent, so she feared her identity being discovered by the emperor would lead to beheading.

Qu Fulan felt a sense of relief, glad that she didn’t misjudge the person.

"So, does Princess Zhuyu become a casualty of factional struggle?"

"Not necessarily, as long as she doesn’t join the evil forces, the emperor won’t do anything to her."

"Someone who has nothing, is easily threatened, it’s hard not to be involved with such forces, otherwise how to save her life?"

After all, from Princess Zhuyu’s perspective, to save her life, she would certainly have to obey others.

"This is where having simple fortune comes in." Pei Ji’an said, "That’s why I laughed earlier."

Qu Fulan was taken aback then understood his meaning.

Because according to common thinking, who would casually tell matters concerning life and death to others?

According to logic, one shouldn’t recklessly hide things, for the sake of life, wouldn’t one have to obey others?

Those behind the scenes probably didn’t expect Princess Zhuyu to show the note to her, after all, she hasn’t known Princess Zhuyu for long.

Who would disclose a matter of life and death to someone they’ve known for a short time?

If it were Qu Fulan, she wouldn’t do it, she would find other ways.

But Princess Zhuyu did just that, honestly, Qu Fulan couldn’t understand why Princess Zhuyu trusted her so much.

"You did well, let her continue to pretend to know nothing. Her quietly showing you the note indicates she trusts us, then continue to follow the plan, catch the person behind the scenes, the emperor naturally won’t treat her poorly." Pei Ji’an said.

As of now, this is the only way, because from the moment Princess Zhuyu was chosen by King Jie, she couldn’t escape this vortex, helping those behind the scenes, the emperor definitely wouldn’t let her go, helping the emperor, those behind the scenes wouldn’t let her go, but the emperor would protect her.

Fortunately, she has the simple fortune to consider Qu Fulan as one of her own, mistakenly finding a path to life and avoiding future disasters.

Before today, Pei Ji’an ensured Princess Zhuyu by Qu Fulan’s side also in the premise of Qu Fulan’s safety, openly with four guards, secretly with many more.

Pei Ji’an has always valued Qu Fulan’s safety, previously entering the palace couldn’t bring guards, crucially no one expected someone would dare to strike at a banquet the emperor valued, that counted as negligence, afterward, Pei Ji’an wouldn’t allow such things to happen again.

But those behind the scenes repeatedly making moves shows they are losing patience.

Someone who is losing patience is evidently prone to reveal flaws.

As of now, just wait and see how things change.

That night Princess Zhuyu slept well because Young Lady Pei told her to rest easy, and she truly did.

Getting up the next day, not finding any notes in the room, she breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise, another one and she would be scared again.

Then she asked the emperor for permission to leave the palace, knowing she was going to see Young Lady Pei, the emperor didn’t say much and allowed it.

Qu Fulan just stepped out and bumped into Princess Zhuyu, because of what Pei Ji’an said yesterday, now she felt a little sympathy for Princess Zhuyu, a perfectly good girl, being used as a pawn by others, anyone would feel bad.

She took her shopping.

In the car, she told her some precautions, such as what to do when receiving notes in the future, Princess Zhuyu nodded continuously saying she would comply.

She knew telling Young Lady Pei was useful, otherwise, she wouldn’t know what to do.

Qu Fulan went to the restaurant, informed the shopkeeper of those three dishes, Manager Yu was as happy as anything, because competition was increasingly fierce among restaurants, others continuously launching new products, taking away quite a bit of business, now they had new products, could attract another wave of customers.

"Get a painter to paint these dishes, post them at the entrance."

Otherwise, saying the dish’s name, knowing what dish it is? Might not come in, if seeing the beautiful picture, that becomes uncertain, anyway Qu Fulan has always launched new dishes this way, others have also imitated, proving this method works.

The shopkeeper nodded constantly saying sure, rest assured.

He was worried about not having new dishes, with new ones wouldn’t he know to promote well? Then the shopkeeper job shouldn’t be his.

Qu Fulan just took a bag of snails and returned.

"Today I’m going to make a noodle dish, first to try it will be you." Qu Fulan said to Princess Zhuyu.

Princess Zhuyu was already impressed by Qu Fulan’s earlier demeanor, "You’re amazing, did you make all those dishes, how do you know so much?"

"Liked studying these since childhood." Qu Fulan smiled.

"Earlier I saw those dishes look delicious, whatever you make, I’ll finish it all."

Qu Fulan thought silently not necessarily, maybe she’d dislike it, that’s uncertain.

After all, not all food can be liked by everyone, there are always groups that don’t like it.

So Qu Fulan didn’t return to Pei Mansion to make snail noodles but went to Gaoyi Lane, second and third houses were far from the main house, weren’t afraid, it’s just the elderly’s Fushou Hall and Lixiang Courtyard were close, if the old lady didn’t like it, wouldn’t they suffer?
