Chapter 244 -245: Getting the Test Paper
The man in black, seeing her resolve, could only give up and, after turning around to leave, made his way to a nearby tavern.
He went up to a private room on the second floor, made sure no one was following him, and then knocked on the door.
The door was opened, and the little maid, seeing the person outside, stepped aside. The man in black walked into the room and saluted the person with his back to him, “Commandery Princess, the woman wouldn’t sell regardless of the price offered.”
“Hmph, she is indeed cautious. The more she behaves like this, the more it proves there’s something amiss.”
The woman slowly turned around, and it was actually Xia Zhaohe.
The maid beside her suddenly spoke up, “Commandery Princess, this servant has learned that Pei Haolan conducted a test for a friend. Perhaps he has some spare test papers in his possession.”
“Oh?”
“This servant has also found out that several princes bought a few test papers from Shao He at the Fifth Prince’s Mansion on the spot; it’s likely that several princes have them, so we may not necessarily have to buy them from Shao He.” The maid suggested.
Xia Zhaohe’s lips curled up ever so slightly, very satisfied with her suggestion.
“The Second Prince is treacherous and cunning; it won’t be easy to start with him. Brother An definitely won’t provide it, leaving only Pei Siyi and Pei Haolan,” Xia Zhaohe murmured to herself.
She touched her chin, pondered for a moment, and said, “Then let’s start with Pei Haolan, who is known for his love of food and drink. Those with a sweet tooth are the easiest to deal with.”
Just as Xia Zhaohe was leaving with the maid, they encountered Pei Siyi coming towards them. Xia Zhaohe had no good feelings towards him and even harbored a hint of disdain.

Xia Zhaohe had intended to pass by him as if she hadn’t seen him at all, but Pei Siyi actually took the initiative to greet her, “You and the Commandery Princess are also here for a meal?”
“Mhm.”
“I was supposed to be with Haolan, but he suddenly had something come up and couldn’t make it,” Pei Siyi said with a helpless smile, shaking his head.
Xia Zhaohe, who was about to leave, paused slightly when she heard him mention Pei Haolan, turned around, and asked, “I heard that you witnessed Doctor Shao use the test paper to test for a paternal relationship between two individuals?”
“Yes, indeed, it was quite miraculous. If Commandery Princess Ninghe would like to hear about it, I could tell you in detail,” Pei Siyi said with a hint of eagerness in his voice.
You and Commandery Princess naturally showed great interest in this matter and followed him back into the tavern. Pei Siyi ordered a few dishes before slowly recounting the events of that day.
After listening, Commandery Princess Ninghe looked at him and asked, “So, you all should still have a few test papers, correct?”
“Correct, I still have one here. If Commandery Princess Ninghe wishes, I would gladly offer it with both hands,” Pei Siyi said as he took out a wrapped test paper from his chest and handed it over.
Xia Zhaohe, seeing the object of her desire, couldn’t help but show a rare smile on her face—what a stroke of luck without any effort.
“May I inquire what the Commandery Princess will use it for?” Pei Siyi asked cautiously.
Xia Zhaohe, uncharacteristically showing him a friendly face, lifted the corners of her mouth and said, “There’s no need for you to know that.”
“Very well, if the Commandery Princess does not wish to speak, then I shall not ask,” Pei Siyi said with a slight bow of respect.
The atmosphere in the private room suddenly became awkward until a knocking sound and the arrival of the waiter with food broke the silence.
Pei Siyi, feeling uncomfortable being watched while eating, glanced over the others before his gaze finally settled on Xia Zhaohe.
“Would the Commandery Princess care to try the food here? It’s indeed much more delicious than in other places.”
“There’s no need, you go ahead,” Xia Zhaohe said, having no appetite now, preoccupied with whether the child was truly Pei Huaian’s or not.
After Pei Siyi took a few bites, Xia Zhaohe, unable to contain herself any longer, continued to inquire, “Do you know why Brother An stabbed Chu Yu last time? What’s really going on between Chu Yu, Shao He, and Brother An?”
“As far as I know, Doctor Shao is very friendly towards my fifth brother, not only making house calls to treat his illness but also showing extra concern for him, though it seems they have no improper conduct,” Pei Siyi’s words were ambiguous, but each one was leading Xia Zhaohe to think that there was something unusual about the relationship between Pei Huaian and Shao He, even dropping hints about Pei Chengye, hoping to split them apart.
Xia Zhaohe fell into thought once more; she could not let anyone snatch Brother An from her.
Brother An could only be hers, hers alone!
Seeing the person brimming with rage, Pei Siyi continued, “I also heard that my fifth brother specifically took Doctor Shao to the prison to see Chu Yu.”
“What you mean is…”
“Perhaps the Commandery Princess does not know that Chu Yu’s current misfortune is all thanks to my fifth brother’s intervention; otherwise, how could he have been exiled?”
“Moreover, my fifth brother not only helped her deal with Chu Yu, but he even warned Princess Huimin not to meddle in Doctor Shao’s personal affairs.”
Xia Zhaohe’s chest heaved with anger as she suddenly slammed her hand on the table, “Bitch!”
A hint of amusement flickered in Pei Siyi’s eyes, but his voice took on a tone of sigh, “My fifth brother wouldn’t fancy Doctor Shao, after all, she comes with a child, unless…”
He didn’t finish his sentence, but Xia Zhaohe already grasped what he meant to suggest next.
“I have matters to attend to, excuse me.” Xia Zhaohe, taking the test paper, hastily stood up to leave.
Pei Siyi watched her departing figure, a triumphant smile curling on his lips.
