Chen Jiu was startled by her words. "Don't be ridiculous! How could that be possible?"
But inside, his heart leaped into his throat, because he'd had the exact same thought just a moment ago.
"But they both have the surname Zhi, and they look so alike..." Miss Liu frowned.
Chen Jiu suppressed the storm raging in his heart and said sternly, "But didn't you say his wife died long ago? How could he have a daughter that old?"
"That's true. His wife died in childbirth and didn't have any children. He won't even look at me, so it's even less likely another woman would have had the chance to bear his child." Miss Liu breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Jiu changed the subject. "Your brother is a Water Bandit Leader, after all. He has so many men under him. Does he usually live in such a shabby place?"
Hearing this, Miss Liu said, a bit upset, "This is the place where he and his late wife used to live. Whenever he's in Yangzhou, my brother always comes back here."
