I'm already a concubine, who wants to fight with you?

Chapter 165 Shameless

The fake Pei Yuan was frozen for a long time, then suddenly came to his senses, with an expression of incredible panic in his eyes.

"You are actually alive? Impossible! You are already dead, burned to death by the fire!"

Yuan San said: "Then I am the ghost from the underworld who came to claim your life. Aren't you afraid, Mr. Pei?"

The fake Pei Yuan was stunned.

But soon, he roared hysterically at Yuan San viciously, like a wild beast defending its territory.

"No matter whether you are a human or a ghost, I am Pei Yuan now! Your face has been destroyed and I scratched it beyond recognition! Even if you say you are Pei Yuan, who would believe you?"

Yuan San held up the cold mask and said nothing.

On his way back to Beijing from the border, he escaped from the encirclement of countless assassins and hid in the village that he had saved from the hands of bandits.

This person was a lazy man in the village with pockmarks all over his face, who was once rescued from the knife of a bandit.

When he was hiding in the woodshed, the lazy man found him and for some reason he had evil intentions.

He scratched his face, dug out the birthmark on his waist, and set fire to the woodshed in an attempt to burn him alive.

Yuan San always thought that this man might be after money, and when he found out that he had no valuables on him, he became angry and humiliated, but was also afraid that he would retaliate later, so he simply destroyed the body.

The appearance and birthmarks were destroyed. Even if the body was not burned to ashes, no one would know who the deceased was after it was dug out.

But after going through untold hardships to sneak back to the capital, Yuan San discovered that things were not as simple as he had imagined.

"Pei Yuan" has successfully returned to the capital, and is living a life of luxury and debauchery.

The entire Pei family was peaceful and calm, and no one noticed that the "Pei Lang" who returned from the border was not the real Pei Yuan.

What Yuan San couldn't understand even more was the attitude of the royal family.

Why would they allow a fake to do whatever he wants when they use all means to kill him before he returns to Beijing?

So, he sneaked into Pei's house as a temporary worker to try to find out the truth, and he had a vague conclusion in his mind.

The fake Pei Yuan was still shouting, "Without the birthmark and that face, even if you go to your mother, will she recognize you? You are just a shameful beast, and you still want to replace me?"

Yuan San supported his head with one hand and said calmly: "Then go before His Majesty and ask His Majesty to make the decision."

Upon hearing this, the fake Pei Yuan was stunned at first, then he slapped the edge of the bed wildly and laughed wildly and twistedly.

"The Heavenly Family? It's hard to say whose side the Heavenly Family is on!"

The fake Pei Yuan was arrogant and complacent. No matter how well he was fed and clothed, deep down inside he was still the leper from the poor village who was lazy and gluttonous but always dreamed of rising to fame overnight.

He was extremely contemptuous, and even the way he looked at Yuan San was condescending, without any fear in his eyes.

"Who do you think changed my appearance and tattooed my birthmark on me? Who do you think trained me to be a young master of the Pei Mansion and told me about your past so that I could pretend to be you?"

The fake Pei Yuan became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he had a sure win. He concluded that Yuan San was now alone and there was nothing he could do.

"I have the best chance at the right time, right place and right people. Maybe even God feels that he owes me a lot, so he made me suddenly become a famous young man in the capital! If you know what's good for you, don't go against God and me!"

He thought that Yuan San would show panic-stricken attitude, but unexpectedly, Yuan San just bent his fingers and tapped the table lightly with understanding.

"So, after you tried to burn me to death that day, you were chased by the enemy? They saw with their own eyes how you treated me, so they handed you over to the mastermind and asked you to impersonate me?"

Ignoring the fake Pei Yuan's gradually pale face, Yuan San connected everything.

It turned out to be the case.

I guess the one sitting on the dragon throne felt that letting a leper impersonate "Pei Yuan" was the most disgusting thing for the Marquis' Mansion, right?

According to that person's style of doing things, he might even issue an edict to allow "Pei Yuan" to inherit the title of marquis.

The fourth branch became the main branch, and for several generations afterwards, they were no longer the true bloodline of the Pei family. What a vicious and narrow-minded person in high position.

He was still laughing to himself, and the relaxed smile on his face seemed like mockery to the fake Pei Yuan.

The fake Pei Yuan's face darkened and he said angrily: "What are you laughing at!"

Yuan San said slowly: "Do you really think that my face can't be recognized from its original appearance?"

The fake Pei Yuan's eyes widened, and fear flashed across his eyes.

However, he quickly reacted and snorted, "Don't try to cheat me!"

That day, he somehow managed to cut Pei Yuan's face again and again, each cut was so deep that the bone was visible.

No matter how powerful Pei Yuan is, he doesn't have the ability to raise bones.

Yuan San held the mask with one hand and was about to take it off.

The fake Pei Yuan stared at him intently, his eyes almost popping out.

However, Yuan San stopped.

"The time is almost up," he said softly, "Although my face has been destroyed and I can no longer be 'Pei Yuan', you can no longer replace me."

Fake Pei Yuan heard a hint of murderous intent in his tone and immediately shouted outside: "Come here, come here quickly, there is an assassin——"

No one came to the empty Chaohui Pavilion.

The fake Pei Yuan was completely panicked, but he was a man who could bend and stretch himself, so he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

"General Pei, you are a magnanimous person, why bother to argue with me? I lived a miserable life in the first half of my life. I couldn't even find a wife, and I didn't have enough food to eat or clothes to wear!

You have lived a glamorous life in the first half of your life, so you probably don't care about this bit of wealth and glory. You might as well be generous and give me this status so that I can live a glorious life!"

Yuan San raised his eyebrows: "So, if I don't let you continue to impersonate me, then I am narrow-minded?"

The fake Pei Yuan said confidently: "You rich young men, how can you understand the pain of us poor people? General Pei, you are a good man, and now your face is ruined, why don't you let me live a life of wealth and glory, which will be considered as accumulating virtue and doing good deeds?"

Even though Yuan San had seen many shameless people, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised by the fake Pei Yuan's words.

"You," he frowned and commented, "are indeed shameless."

The fake Pei Yuan's face flushed, as if he was stabbed in the heart, and he became even angrier.

"We are both men. Why should you be a high and mighty marquis while I can only be a bachelor who can't even find a wife? When those cheap women see you, they smile like whores, but when they turn around and see me, they try to avoid you as much as possible!"

The fake Pei Yuan roared, gasping for breath.

"You were just reborn quickly and into a good family, so those women look up to you. If you don't believe me, look, I took your face and your identity, and those women who looked down on me before, didn't they throw themselves into my arms?"

He was jealous.

He had to admit that he was jealous of that handsome, elegant and noble young man.

The incomparable family background and extraordinary appearance are like the gentle breeze and bright moon in the world, a noble existence that is out of reach.

What's more, he had superb marksmanship and superb martial arts. He could ride a horse and wield a spear among the fierce bandits and enemy troops, leaving a sea of ​​blood and mountains of corpses wherever he passed.

Once upon a time, everyone in the village was grateful to this hero who was just passing by but lent a helping hand. They even erected a monument for him and enshrined a longevity tablet in the temple.

The fake Pei Yuan just felt unwilling.

They are both human beings, so why can this noble boy be so high and mighty while he rots into mud?
"General Pei," the fake Pei Yuan was almost out of breath due to excitement. He pressed his chest and said viciously, "I am not a dirty person. As long as you keep silent, I can give you a hundred taels of gold, beauties and mansions. You can have as many as you want!"
