Chapter 1735: 1735 is not biological 4 “Indeed, even if there are two people who look very similar in the world, it doesn’t necessarily mean they have a bloodline connection. Moreover, you don’t even look that much like Xiao Chonghuan. Third brother, what do you think of this situation?” Su Qingyue furrowed her brows, “Could it be that the birthmark on your head just happens to be exactly the same as the direct lineage of the Xiao Family? That’s too much of a coincidence.” “I also don’t think it’s a coincidence.” Xiao Yuchuan pulled out the jade hairpin binding his hair and loosened it, “Dear, could you help check if there’s anything unusual about the birthmark on my head?” Su Qingyue gestured for him to sit on the chair at the table under the tree in the courtyard and carefully parted his hair to inspect it. After a while, she silently tied his hair back up. He liked the feeling of her tying his hair, just like the closest of husband and wife, “Dear?” She sat across from him and said solemnly, “Third brother, the birthmark on your head isn’t natural; it was tattooed thereafter. Clearly, the person who tattooed your birthmark knew the exact birthmark, position, and even color of the direct lineage of the Xiao Family, matching the dye precisely with almost no discrepancy in depth, size, or meticulousness.” After hearing this, he contemplated a moment, “Outsiders couldn’t possibly know these things. It seems the person who tattooed the birthmark on me is from the Xiao Family and knows their secrets thoroughly. Because Xiao Chonghuan told me that only the legitimate lineage is informed about the birthmark secret on the head.” “It could also be a confidant serving the Xiao Family who overheard it and became in the know,” Su Qingyue added, unexpectedly hitting the mark with her words. “That possibility exists,” Xiao Yuchuan said, “In any case, this person doesn’t want good for the Xiao Family. I’ll secretly have someone investigate this. It shouldn’t be difficult; I had the birthmark tattooed just after birth, so this person, or the one who had someone tattoo the birthmark for me, must have been around the Xiao Family for over twenty-eight years…” Su Qingyue laughed, “Third brother, you better not investigate. What does it matter who tattooed the birthmark for you? Exposing that person to the Xiao couple might ruin your plans to seize the Xiao’s affairs.” “Look at me…” Xiao Yuchuan patted his head, “Dear is right, best to bury this matter. However… I must act quickly. If that person behind the scenes steps out and claims I’m not the heir of the Xiao Family, it would be trouble. With Xiao Chonghuan and his wife having no heirs, the riches of the Xiao Family will eventually be divided by others. Rather than that, better I take over.” She smiled faintly, “If it were me, any gained riches should not be wasted.” In this society, there’s no such thing as fairness, never has been, and never will be. Once powerful and strong, one shouldn’t be overly merciful. “My dear and I truly share the same desires.” Xiao Yuchuan reached across the table to grab her small hand, “Dear, trust your husband, I will surely kick Chang Haotian out one day.” Su Qingyue rolled her eyes, “Are you still jealous of Chang Haotian?” “Yes.” Xiao Yuchuan admitted honestly, “You said he’s better than me.” “That was said in anger, you provoked me first, that’s why I said it.” “As for before, I can be magnanimous and not quarrel with Chang Haotian about it. That bastard still has designs on you; I want to kill him!” “He wants to kill you too.”
