The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

Chapter 236 A Deep Conversation between Father and Son

If we were to ask who loves Yan Shi the most in the entire Ding'an Marquis Mansion, apart from Princess Pingyang, it would be the old marquis Yan Qing.

Yan Qing's love for Yan Shuang is even greater than that for Princess Pingyang, and the most important thing is that Yan Qing can suppress Yan Shuang.

Yan Shi knew how to find someone to back him up.

After Yan Shuang left Jingyuan, he lifted up his gown and quickly went to the study. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Zhao Pu, who was staring at a painting on the wall.

Yan Shuang's heart sank and he felt something was wrong, but he still stepped forward and greeted her, saying, "Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Oh! Kejun is here."

Zhao Pu turned back with a hint of surprise, glanced at Yan Shuang and said in a deep voice: "Kejun! This poem only has the first stanza, is there a second stanza?"

"Not yet." Yan Shuang leaned over and said.

"After the dream, the tower is locked, and after the wine, the curtains are lowered. Last year's spring hatred came back. The flowers fell and the man was alone, and the swallows flew in pairs in the light rain."

Zhao Pu read it aloud, shook his head with a smile, and said, "Wei Yu, Wei Yu...Xie Wei Yu, your name is Shu Ting, so that's it."

"Your Highness! Please listen to my explanation." Yan Shuang leaned over hurriedly and said.

"That's all!~"

Zhao Pu waved his hand and said calmly, "Since Kejun deliberately concealed the truth, perhaps he had a reason for doing so. This matter ends here. If the emperor asks, Kejun can consider the guilt of deceiving the emperor."

Without waiting for Yan Shuang to reply, Zhao Pu waved his sleeves and left the study. The eunuch waiting outside the door also followed him out with a confused look on his face.

Watching Zhao Pu disappear in the garden, Yan Shuang looked back at the poem on the wall and smiled bitterly to himself, "I don't know how long I can keep this a secret for you."

"Master!"

"What's the matter?" Yan Shuang asked coldly.

The servant shuddered. He had never heard such a cold tone in front of the gentle and kind eldest master. He just swallowed his saliva subconsciously and leaned over to say, "The master is in the living room. Please come over."

Yan Shuang calmed down and went to the living room.

Yan Qing was wearing armor and sitting in the first seat, drinking tea with a serious look on his face. When he saw Yan Shuang coming in, he waved his hand to dismiss the servants.

"I just came back from the military camp outside the city and happened to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the garden. I saw a hint of murderous intent between His Royal Highness's eyebrows. What happened?"

"Murderous intention?" Yan Shuang asked with confusion on his face.

"My father came from the military camp, so I can clearly see the hostility in others."

Yan Qing said this and changed the subject: "What happened between you? Why is the prince so hostile to you?"

"It's a long story."

"Then tell me slowly." Yan Qing said coldly.

Yan Shuang knew he couldn't escape, so facing Yan Qing's questioning he could only tell everything, but he still concealed some details.

"That's the details..."

Yan Qing asked solemnly, "Why did you mention that she was hiding something? Or is this Xie Weiyu really the head of the Lian Family Chamber of Commerce?"

Yan Shuang lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked up and looked into Yan Qing's eyes, and answered solemnly: "Father! According to my guess, it is probably true."

"this......"

Yan Qing held the teacup in shock. Even though he already had some guesses in his mind, he couldn't help but lose his composure when he heard Yan Shuang admit it herself.

No one knows a son better than his father. He knew very well that being able to draw such a conclusion from Yan Shuang's mouth had already confirmed Xie Shuting's identity.

"My father has also heard of the Lian Family Chamber of Commerce. Although the military's food and fodder are connected to the Ministry of Revenue, most of them are provided by the Lian Family Chamber of Commerce. I didn't expect that the person behind this was actually her."

When Yan Qing said this, he was suddenly startled, looked at Yan Shuang with doubt, and said in a deep voice: "How old did you say she is now?"

"I am eighteen years old."

"Pity!"

Yan Qing shook his head helplessly and said, "If she were a man, with her means and abilities, it would not be impossible for her to wear a purple robe in the court."

"Father!~"

Yan Shuang hurriedly held the handrail and said in a deep voice: "The prince has already known about this matter. I am afraid that it will implicate the Ding'an Marquis Mansion. Please tie up your son and let him plead guilty in front of the palace."

"Not really." Yan Qing stroked his hand calmly and said nonchalantly.

The Ding'an Marquis's Mansion is a marquisate after all. Putting aside his military achievements, even with the concern of Princess Pingyang as his aunt and nephew, he will not be too stubborn in the end.

If things got awkward, he would naturally play dumb. No one would have thought that an eighteen-year-old girl could influence the development of a chamber of commerce and achieve what she has today.

Do you believe it?

It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not. I don’t believe it, and neither does the Ding’an Marquis’ Mansion.

Seeing that Yan Qing didn't care, Yan Shuangyin said with some worry: "Father! If the prince reveals this, it will be bad for the Yan family."

"Shuang'er! You are usually extremely intelligent, how come you make such a stupid mistake now?" Yan Qing couldn't help but frown and said with a little disappointment.

"My son is stupid, please give me some advice, father."

"The position of crown prince has been decided, but the emperor has been reluctant to make the Second Prince a king, and there is a tendency for him to accompany the emperor to court. But do you think the Second Prince has to be inferior to others?" Yan Qing said in a deep voice.

"Father means..."

"That's not what being a father means."

Yan Qing hurriedly interrupted Yan Shuang's speculation, stroked the teacup and said softly: "You can only represent yourself, not the Ding'an Marquis' Mansion, because your father has not yet reported the prince Yudie to the government."

Yan Qing said this and changed the subject: "Also, don't you think it's strange that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came here today?"

"Father meant..."

"You can check it yourself. This is all I can say. But remember, don't let your emotions cloud your mind, or you may make mistakes."

"Yes!~"

Yan Shuang cupped his hands in response, and at the same time changed the subject, stroking his hand and saying, "Father is wearing armor today, but he has returned from the military camp outside the city. Could it be that there is any unusual movement at the border?"

Yan Qing stood up, walked to the window, stared into the distance, and said in a heavy tone: "The Ministry of War reported that there have been unusual movements in Dali recently, and there is a hidden danger of war."

"Are there any unusual changes in management?"

Yan Shuang looked suspicious and asked, "When the late emperor was still alive, didn't he sign an alliance with Dali and make peace between the two countries?"

"I don't know the specific situation, but the memorial mentioned that Dali Jing Wang Duan Jingqiu has begun to station troops on the border." Yan Qing said in a deep voice.

Yan Shuang's heart tightened, and he looked at Yan Qing worriedly and said, "King Jing Duan Jingqiu, isn't that Duan Xuanzong's uncle?"

"This is the Ministry of War's business. You just stay in the Ministry of Punishment and you don't have to worry about this matter." After Yan Qing said this, he slowly left the living room.

Looking at Yan Qing's strong back, Yan Shuang was inexplicably moved. The Yan family was a loyal family, but now they were suspected by the government and hated by the crown prince, so it was difficult for them to take a step forward.

After Zhao Pu left Ding'an Marquis Mansion, he returned to the Eastern Palace and locked himself in the study, constantly recalling the scenes he had spent with Yan Shuang.

He never expected that Yan Shuang would commit the crime of deceiving the emperor for a woman, which created a rift between them as emperor and his subject.
