Xiao Chengyi seemed to have heard some joke, he rubbed the jade pendant in his hand and said: "Just because of this jade pendant with a dragon carved on it, you dare to say that you are a member of the royal family.
After all these years, why didn’t you go to the capital to recognize your relatives, but instead stationed troops in private?”
Sun Shangwei snorted: "What do you know? If I don't have the power in my hands, what if I rush to recognize my relatives and get killed by my brothers?"
Xiao Chengyi nodded: "But what I am curious about is that back then, the late emperor paid a private visit incognito, so why didn't he take your mother to the capital?"
Sun Shangwei frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "Besides this jade pendant, do you have anything else on your body that can prove your life experience?"
Sun Shangwei's face looked a little ugly: "Can't this jade pendant prove my identity?"
Xiao Chengyi shrugged: "I really can't, because this is not a royal thing."
"You're talking nonsense."
Sun Shangwei's expression changed: "What is this if not a royal thing? Is there anyone else besides the Yuan family who can use this dragon-patterned jade pendant at will?"
"certainly."
Xiao Chengyi pointed at the coiled dragon pillar in the flower hall and said, "Isn't your coiled dragon pillar the best physical evidence?"
"you......"
Sun Shangwei was a little confused. He had believed in his life experience for so many years, but now Xiao Chengyi said that the jade pendant in his hand was fake.
"Prince Regent, are you trying to deny Will's parentage? Do you think we will be fooled if you do this?"
Sun Chengyu felt that this was Xiao Chengyi's trick.
Everyone in the Sun family regarded Sun Shangwei as the legacy of the Yuan family, and they spent all their financial resources to help him rise to power.
Xiao Chengyi sneered: "With just a jade pendant, you want to confuse the royal bloodline?
I said that this jade pendant does not belong to the royal family. I have my own reasons, that is, it is definitely not an ordinary thing that belongs to the emperor, especially something used by the emperor.
If you don't believe it, you can put this jade pendant under a candlelight and see if it can reflect the dragon pattern. If it does, it is from the royal family; if not, it is an imitation made by the people."
Sun Chengyu frowned, and when he saw that Xiao Chengyi's words were clear and logical, he couldn't help but have doubts.
He asked someone to bring in a candle lamp, and then put Sun Shangwei's jade pendant on it. However, looking through the candlelight, no dragon pattern appeared inside.
Xiao Chengyi took out the jade pendant he was wearing and said, "This is the jade pendant my father left for me. Look at it."
He placed the jade pendant under the candlelight, and a dragon pattern could be seen emerging from the jade pendant.
Sun Chengyu was shocked. They were both jade pendants with dragon patterns, but the effects they showed were quite different.
His mind was buzzing with confusion. Could it be that his nephew's biological father was someone else? Was his sister deceived back then?
"impossible."
Sun Shangwei did not accept this reality. He said: "You also said that this is something your father gave you. How can your things represent everything?"
Xiao Chengyi put the jade pendant away and said: "There are two reasons why I suspect that your identity is false. One is that the carving of this jade pendant is exquisite, but the quality of the jade used is not the best.
The white jade used by the royal family is all high-quality mutton-fat white jade, not ordinary Hetian jade.
Secondly, Yuan Hao did have a private visit incognito, but he only went to Yunzhou and never came to Jingzhou.
If my prediction is correct, someone must have deceived your mother by using the name of the late emperor, and this person is most likely the craftsman in charge of jade carving in the palace."
