Chapter 7779 7777-Another Cousin
"Grandfather Wang, although your grandson is willing to believe in Prince Zhong DA's identity, my brothers and sisters can not help but have some doubts. In order to shut everyone up, we should indeed investigate."
"Of course, true gold fears no fire. Since second Royal uncle has already confirmed it, brother Zhong da will definitely be able to withstand an investigation. This is just a formality so that everyone can be at ease!"
Lin Yi raised a brow-this guy was really asking for a beating with that disgusting hypocritical face!
"Zhong da, this is the eldest brother of your eldest uncle's family, Sima Zhongxiao. He is also the eldest brother of your generation's direct siblings."
Sima zhengxin didn't care about the comments and introduced the hypocritical young man to Lin Yi.
As for the first two who jumped out, he didn't care.
He couldn't even be bothered to introduce Lin Yi to the non-direct descendants.
Moreover, these two blind guys actually wantonly slandered the good grandson that he had finally found!
It was good enough that he didn't kill them!
"Brother Zhong Xiao!"
Lin Yi cupped his hands casually as a form of greeting.
A fake Lackey like him wasn't worth Lin Yi greeting him at all.
If it wasn't for Sima zhengxin's introduction, who would have the time to bother?
"I don't dare! Zhong da wouldn't object to this process of proving his innocence, would he? We're all blood-related in the future, so it's not appropriate to hold a grudge against each other, don't you think so?"
Sima Zhongxiao was humble and polite, but his words were pressuring Lin Yi. He was trying to make Lin Yi unable to refute him, and even take the initiative to accept the investigation.
In fact, the so-called identity investigation was nothing much. As long as Sima Yunqi and su lingyue confirmed that Lin Yi was Sima Zhongda, who could refute them?
This was just an excuse, an excuse to attack Lin Yi and drag Sima Yunqi into it!
"Your Highness, I don't think it's necessary. Since the second Prince and his wife have brought the young prince back, they must have confirmed his identity. Who else in the world would be more familiar with their child than the second Prince and his wife?"
A thin young man in the corner suddenly stood up and bowed. Then, he spoke with confidence and without stage fright,
"Let's not even talk about where to investigate the so-called identity. So many years have passed since the incident, and it doesn't seem too difficult to fabricate false evidence to prove that the young prince is not the young prince. "
"Liu Ziyu! What do you mean by that? Are you saying that we will fabricate false evidence to frame this person?"
"Liu Ziyu, Who Do You Think You Are? It is already a great grace for His Majesty to let you attend, but you don't know how to be grateful and still dare to make such a big fuss here. Do you have the right to speak here?"
The two men who said they were going to investigate Lin Yi jumped up and down, pointing at the skinny man and yelling.
"Shut up! Do you think father will allow you to roar in the court?"
Sima Yunqi had been unhappy for a long time, but he did not want to argue with a group of juniors.
Now that someone was standing up for their son, of course they would support him.
The two boys who had been clamoring suddenly fell silent like ducks that had been strangled.
They still had the courage to backstab Sima Yun Qi, but they did not dare to fight him head on!
"Zhong da, this is your cousin, Liu Ziyu. He's your aunt's son. However, something happened to your aunt's husband's family, so Ziyu has been living in our Manor."
Sima Yunqi gave Liu Ziyu a look of approval, then introduced him to Lin Yi in a serious manner.
Liu Ziyu's mother was Sima Yunqi's blood sister, and they had a good relationship since they were young.
She didn't expect that after she got married, her husband's family would be exterminated, leaving only Liu Ziyu as the only child.
That was why Sima Yunqi had always treated Liu Ziyu as his son.
It was also because of this that Liu Ziyu was not well-liked among the younger generation of the Sima clan.
After all, Sima Zhongxiao was the leader of the younger generation. They formed their own circle, and it was difficult for Liu Ziyu to integrate into it if he followed Sima Yunqi.
Liu Ziyu's mother and Sima Yunqi were of the same mother, but not Sima Yunfei. So he and Sima Zhongxiao could not be considered close relatives.
Sima Yun Fei's mother was Sima Zheng Xin's first wife, but she died from difficult labor when giving birth to Sima Yun Fei.
After that, Sima Zheng Xin married Sima Yun Qi's mother, and they had Sima Yun Qi and Liu Zi Yu's mother and other children.
That was why Sima Zheng had the thought of abandoning the elders, but he never made up his mind.
He felt that he owed Sima Yunfei's mother, which was also one of the reasons!
Lin Yi didn't know much about this topic, but he could feel Liu Ziyu's kindness. He smiled and cupped his hands.
"Cousin Ziyu, let's get closer in the future. I've had no siblings since I was young, so I'm really happy to have a younger brother!"
Lin Yi's attitude towards Liu Ziyu was completely different from how he treated Sima Zhongxiao. The difference was obvious to everyone.
As a result, Sima Zhongxiao's eyes flashed with anger, but he quickly hid it and continued to maintain his fake smile.
"Ziyu, in the Qiushi Palace, we only talk about family ties and not status. I'm your uncle, and Zhong da is your cousin. What Prince or Little Prince? We're all family, you know?"
Si MA stood up and chided Liu Ziyu with a smile. Liu Ziyu bowed and acknowledged.
"Uncle is right! It's Ziyu's fault, cousin Zhongda, please take care of this little brother in the future!"
Liu Ziyu greeted Lin Yi with a smile.
He knew that Sima Yunqi was really taking care of him. Although he felt a little inferior, it was easy for him to adjust his mentality.
The sensitive Liu Ziyu was worried that Lin Yi would be afraid of him since it was his first time coming back.
After all, si MA had basically raised Liu Ziyu as his own son by calling him his uncle.
She didn't expect Lin Yi to be so gentle with her.
His uncle, Sima Yunqi, did not distance himself from him just because his son had returned.
Liu Ziyu's heart was filled with warmth. He swore to himself that he would do his best to protect his uncle's family!
"What care, we're brothers! We must support each other!"
Lin Yi stood up and returned the bow. Sima zhengxin touched his beard and felt very comforted. He felt that this grandson was quite good!
"Zhong da, you're right. As long as you brothers and sisters support each other, why would you worry about our Sima clan not thriving? Zhong Xiao, you're also an outstanding disciple of our Sima clan. You must remember that as long as our Sima clan doesn't fall into chaos, Hongshang Commandery will not fall into the hands of other clans!"
Sima zhengxin took the opportunity to beat Sima Zhongxiao with a few words.
