Chapter 364: Body-Swapping Technique

When Su Wanrou and the others arrived at the Ministry of War, they saw a luxurious carriage parked outside. There was a sword mark on the carriage, which was the symbol of the Cloud Breaking Sect.

Yi Zilan said, “Let’s go in. State Minister Xu Yue is already here.”

Su Wanrou and Yang Xueyu were delighted and quickened their pace.

They could not wait to meet their Yang Yi.

After entering the Ministry of War, Zhou Changzhu walked to Yi Zilan’s side and said, “Zilan, the State Minister and the Minister of War have already arrived. Yang Yi and Yang Cheng have also been interrogated. Hurry up and go.”

Su Wanrou and Yang Xueyu were a little nervous. Yi Zilan thought of Liu Sanniang and said to Zhou Changzhu, “Changzhu, please bring Mrs. Yang and Miss Yang over. I still have two guests waiting for me. I’ll go and get them.”

Zhou Changzhu nodded with a smile. “No problem. Just leave them to me.”

Su Wanrou and Yang Xueyu looked at Yi Zilan. Since Yi Zilan had something on, they naturally couldn’t insist on him leading the way. They smiled at Yi Zilan and said, “Thank you, Official Yi.”

Yi Zilan felt that they were being overly courteous. He waved his hand. “You’re welcome.”

With that, he turned around and walked away.

Zhou Changzhu smiled. “Please follow me.”

Su Wanrou smiled. “Thank you.”

Zhou Changzhu replied with a smile. “It’s nothing.”

Zhou Changzhu looked at Yang Xueyu. She was a good girl. As Yi Zilan’s good friend for many years, he could naturally tell that Yi Zilan liked her. Otherwise, he wouldn’t treat this family with such enthusiasm.

Zhou Changzhu smiled. “I heard that Miss Yang’s father is a teacher. I’m very impressed that he can teach Miss Yang so well.”

Everyone would be happy to hear their daughter being praised. Su Wanrou smiled and looked at Yang Xueyu. She patted the back of Yang Xueyu’s hand and said, “This is all thanks to my husband.”

Yang Xueyu smiled shyly.

Zhou Changzhu continued. “Is Miss Yang engaged?”

Although the question was a little too abrupt, Su Wanrou still smiled and shook her head. “My daughter isn’t engaged yet.”

Zhou Changzhu was surprised. It was good that this girl hadn’t booked marriage till now. After putting Su Wanrou at ease, he started to talk about Yi Zilan. “Don’t worry too much. Official Yi is an upright person. He will definitely not let Mr. Yang be wronged. Although Official Yi looks cold and unapproachable. He’s actually very kind-hearted. In order to seek justice for his sister, he remained single all these years. The minister of war is a fair-minded and just person too.”

Su Wanrou understood why Zhou Changzhu asked whether or not her daughter was engaged. She smiled and said, “Official Yi is really a good person. Anyone who values relationships is good.”

Zhou Changzhu smiled and did not say anything else. Now was not the time to talk too much about private matters. He asked mainly to find out if Yang Xueyu was engaged to anyone. If she was, then forget it. If she was not, he wanted to let Su Wanrou know that Yi Zilan was single too.

Having achieved his goal, Zhou Changzhu sent Su Wanrou and Yang Xueyu over and left.

After Su Wanrou and Yang Xueyu entered, they walked to Yang Yi’s side and asked how he had been these few days.

Yang Yi smiled. “I’m fine. Sorry for making you worry.”

Although he was still in such a sorry state, most of the pain and grievance had dissipated from his mind. With a trace of hope, he was no longer in a hurry to kill himself, so he was already much better.

Yi Zilan, Liu Sanniang, and Chu Yan quickly arrived at the torture room.

Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan stood silently on the side.

Yi Zilan walked to Wu Changxian’s side.

Wu Changxian nodded at him and turned to Xu Yue. “State Master, you can begin.”

Xu Yue looked at Yang Yi and Yang Cheng and said, “Which one of you will go first?”

Yang Cheng looked at Yang Yi and said calmly, “He’ll go first. After all, he’s still my eldest brother.”

After saying that, Yang Cheng lowered his head dejectedly, as if he was very disappointed with everything.

Su Wanrou helped Yang Yi up and said gently, “Husband, you once told me when one is innocent, one will fear nothing.”

Yang Yi looked at Su Wanrou and began with determination in his eyes. “Thirty years ago, I was the legitimate son of the Minister of Finance, Yang Yi. When I was seventeen years old, my life was turned upside down. The moment I woke up, I became my second brother, Yang Cheng. I made a fuss, but no one believed me. I looked forward to waking up one day to become myself again. I waited for one month, two months, ten months, one year, two years, before I eventually gave up. I realized that I couldn’t go back. I became Yang Cheng. Only then did I know how big the difference between a legitimate son and an illegitimate son was. I left the Yang family and settled down in Xin Village. Seventeen years ago, I met my wife. The next year, she gave birth to my beloved daughter, Yang Xueyu. I thought that I would live as Yang Cheng until I died, but a few days ago, when I woke up, I found myself in the Yang Mansion. I had become Yang Yi again…”

Yang Yi choked for a moment before continuing. “But what awaited me was execution. How can I not feel wronged? I was deprived of everything 30 years ago. It was so painful, but the heavens actually made me suffer the pain twice.”

Su Wanrou covered her mouth to stop herself from crying.

Yang Xueyu’s eyes were red as she pursed her lips to fight back her tears.

Yang Cheng held his stomach, laughing crazily. “Hahahaha…”

His laughter was puzzling.

Yang Yi clenched his fists in anger.

Yi Zilan frowned.

Yang Cheng laughed until tears came out of his eyes. After he was done laughing, he looked at Xu Yue and said, “State Minister Xu Yue, don’t you think it’s ridiculous? Swapping bodies? Who has the ability to do that? Elder Brother, you also said that the difference between a legitimate son and an illegitimate son is humongous. I’ve already tried to disappear from your sight, but you still won’t let me live in peace. Even my wife and daughter…”

Yang Cheng pointed at Su Wanrou and Yang Xueyu with trembling hands. “When did you cheat on me with him?”

Su Wanrou took a deep breath to calm her trembling body.

How could a person be so shameless? If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn’t believe that the person who looked like her husband would be so much different.

Her husband was a gentle man whom everyone respected.

But now, the one occupying this face was mean and vicious.

Xu Yue frowned and stood up to walk over. He looked at Yang Cheng and reached out to grab his hand, as if trying to sense something. After a while, he said, “Your soul and body are compatible. You’re Yang Cheng.”
