Ji Youzhi was utterly shocked upon hearing this.
"The next day, he became the young master of the Minister's Mansion?"
He repeated the question, and Ah Da Niu nodded.
"Yes, the very next day!"
"Are you sure?"
Ji Youzhi pressed on once more.
"I'm certain. That night, the fire at the Prince's Mansion was enormous. There were many people fighting the fire, including nearby residents, government officials, and even the local patrol."
"But after the fire was out, everyone was utterly exhausted. Old Chu and I, being drifters, went to the Temple for charity porridge, so we headed there."
"At the temple, we had a hearty meal and slept inside until the afternoon when we woke up with growling stomachs. So we went into the city to beg and reached the Ping'an Pharmacy. From afar, we saw a few people mysteriously holding a child getting into a carriage."
"You're not telling me that child was the heir of the Prince's Mansion, are you?"
