My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Cheng Guang’s words were spoken, and Empress Wang immediately shook her head.

“That’s not what I mean either.”

As she spoke, Empress Wang’s tone paused slightly before she addressed Cheng Guang:

“I’m also not certain about this matter, but do you think there might be such a possibility?”

“If you truly aren’t born from your alleged parents and it’s discovered in the future, I’m afraid your life wouldn’t be spared.”

“However, if you, my nephew, can manage to visit Wu Ming without any issues.”

“Then you will always be my nephew.”

As she reached this point, a hint of seduction crept into Empress Wang’s tone.

“Whatever you want in the future, Aunt can satisfy for you.”

Empress Wang knew that Cheng Guang was not a fool.

It was enough to hint and no more.

She believed that by merely broaching the subject, Cheng Guang, with his own intelligence, would surely think a lot.

Like why his appearance does not resemble that of either Cheng Zhihai or Wu Yuemei.

And yet Cheng Zhihai and Wu Yuemei have never raised any issues about his appearance.

This kind of issue is unexplainable.

Even if Empress Wang knew that Cheng Guang was probably indeed the biological son of Cheng Zhihai and Wu Yuemei.

But looks not resembling either parent is, after all, an inexplicable matter.

In Empress Wang’s view, even after contemplating it over and over, Cheng Guang would eventually believe that he is the biological son.

Still, to avoid unnecessary trouble, in the end, he would beg her not to reveal anything and then follow her wishes.

Empress Wang was confident in her heart as she gazed intently at Cheng Guang.

However, Cheng Guang’s reaction was beyond Empress Wang’s expectation.

“Empress Aunt, your train of thought is indeed exceptional.”

“If you say it’s not, then it’s not.”

Cheng Guang chuckled, seemingly indifferent to Empress Wang’s words.

In reality.

In his heart, waves had indeed begun to stir, and it could be said that a hint of murderous intent had arisen.

Empress Wang herself may not believe what she has said, perhaps it was just a bluff, deliberately spoken.

But.

How could she have imagined.

That he was truly not the real Town-Nation Duke’s Heir.

But an utter impostor.

He had managed to deceive Cheng Zhihai, Wu Yuemei, and likewise, Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan.

If his identity were suddenly exposed due to Empress Wang’s baseless speculation.

Cheng Guang would be incredulously amused.

Seeing Cheng Guang’s reaction, Empress Wang’s face stiffened with surprise, then she gave an awkward smile.

Cheng Guang’s indifferent demeanor left her at a loss for a moment.

Moreover, this had been a spur of the moment idea on her part, and if Cheng Guang did not act as she had anticipated, she had no backup plan.

She merely picked up her teacup and sipped a few mouthfuls of tea to alleviate the awkwardness.

A moment later.

Empress Wang took the initiative to backtrack, “If my nephew doesn’t believe it, then Aunt has no right to say more. Just treat it as if Aunt was spouting nonsense just now.”

Cheng Guang nodded noncommittally.

“It’s not quite nonsense.”

As Cheng Guang spoke, his gaze toward Empress Wang flickered with a profound meaning.

Empress Wang felt a bolt of tension at his gaze.

For some reason, under such scrutiny from Cheng Guang.

Empress Wang felt very uncomfortable.

Even though it was nearing summer.

Empress Wang still couldn’t help feeling a chill.

Empress Wang quickly averted her gaze, not daring to look at Cheng Guang anymore.

In her mind, she kept echoing Cheng Guang’s recent words. Explore stories on My Virtual Library Empire

It wasn’t exactly nonsense?

What does that mean?

What isn’t nonsense?

The words she just said?

Could it be that Guanger, this Town-Nation Duke’s Heir, indeed isn’t the biological child of Wu Yuemei and Cheng Zhihai?

Did he himself just admit it?

That’s impossible!!

Torrents of shock and disbelief churned in Empress Wang’s heart, unable to calm for a long time.

Question after question surfaced unceasingly in her mind.

But the tangled doubts, like smoke, could not be resolved, forming dark clouds that overshadowed her spirit.

Leaving Empress Wang almost breathless for a time.

“Empress Sister, it’s time to eat, what are you thinking about?”

Unbeknownst to her.

And after who knows how much time had passed.

Empress Wang suddenly heard Wu Yuemei’s voice by her ear.

Upon hearing Wu Yuemei’s voice, Empress Wang slowly came back to her senses.

When Empress Wang came to, she noticed that the table was laden with many delicacies.

Wu Yuemei was sitting by her side, while Cheng Guang, the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir, was already feasting heartily.

“Empress Sister, go ahead and eat. These should all be things you like,” Wu Yuemei said with a smile, tenderly coaxing Empress Wang to start eating.

Empress Wang’s lovely face was a tad stiff, and she gave an embarrassed laugh before taking up her bowl and chopsticks and eating with absent-mindedness.

Even though the table held foods she usually loved.

Empress Wang found them tasteless, like chewing wax, devoid of any delight at that moment.

Empress Wang’s mind quickly drifted away from the meal, and her beautiful eyes occasionally fell on Cheng Guang, scrutinizing him as if contemplating why he had spoken those words earlier.

It wasn’t entirely nonsense…

What was this Town-Nation Duke’s Heir thinking inside his head?
