On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle

After a long while, Mr. Chen stammered, "I...I don't understand what you are talking about!"

"Father, do you think I am talking nonsense? Have you ever thought about what happened back then? Is there no one else who knows about it?"

She chuckled, "Otherwise, why do you think I would ask this?"

Old Master Chen was already in a state of confusion, and now hearing his daughter-in-law's firm words, he could not help but panic.

I saw that his expression was different.

Song Xile continued to take drastic measures, half-truthfully saying, "It's strange to say, when we were in the capital, many nobles thought they saw an old friend when they saw my husband!"

"Of course there are many people from the capital among them. Look, they are military personnel!"

When Mr. Chen heard what Song Xile said, his face turned pale. Over the years, he had been living in seclusion in a small mountain village with his family to avoid investigation.

It was obvious that the other party was suspicious of him. As long as these people were determined to find out where he had been in Beijing, they would definitely be able to find him by following the clues.

Even though the Prince is the only one guarding the border of the Loyalty and Bravery Mansion now, he never dares to underestimate the strength of the Loyalty and Bravery Mansion.

All kinds of thoughts were churning in his mind. Now that the mystery was about to be revealed, if he continued to conceal it, what was originally a good thing for him to adopt the child in times of crisis could also become a bad thing!

He hesitated for a while, and finally asked everyone in the room to leave, as he had something to say to the third brother.

At this moment, everyone in the room was so shocked by the bombshell news that they couldn't recover.

Now I hear Mr. Chen say this.

The couple from the second house tactfully walked out of the main hall. Chen Yunye knew that his father must have concealed an important secret and it was no longer appropriate for him to hear about it.

Liu was helped out by her daughter-in-law in a daze. Could it be that she had hated the wrong person for so many years? Was this child not the old man's concubine's child?

Then isn't what she has done over the years a joke?

Suddenly, there were only three people left in the main hall.

After everyone left, Old Master Chen slowly spoke, "Yes, you are not my biological son, but the son of Princess Pingning of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion. Your father is the eldest son of the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, and he was a newly-appointed third place winner."

Chen Yunyou had already expected trouble, and his heart tightened after hearing about it.

Seeing this, Song Xile held his hand to comfort him. She stepped forward and asked, "What happened back then? Why did Yun You end up here?"

What shouldn't be said has been said. What happened next is no secret. He said:

"Back then, the Crown Prince was in charge of the palace. The Emperor was planning to lead the army back to the capital, but was assassinated by the imperial guards at the Meridian Gate. The Emperor was furious. After escaping death, he returned to the palace and found evidence from all sides that implicated the Crown Prince!"

"The emperor was furious and wanted to depose the prince. Marquis Zhongyong ignored his old illness and pleaded for mercy in the palace. Later, I only knew that the old marquis died and the prince was confined. When I met the princess, she was being hunted down in the suburbs of Beijing while pregnant. There were only one or two loyal servants left by her side."

"Unfortunately, she got pregnant while running all the way. The situation was urgent, so I found a cave in the suburbs of Beijing and let the princess give birth."

"The princess was weak after giving birth. She knew she couldn't run far with the child, and she was afraid the child would fall into the hands of the enemy, so she entrusted me to take the child away."

"It just so happened that my concubine who was raised in the suburbs of Beijing also gave birth to a son, but the child was unlucky and died at birth. So I suggested switching the children."

What he didn't say was that this could also conceal his tracks. Even if the princess was captured in the end, she wouldn't be able to find him because of the child!

Chen Yi looked at Chen Yunyou with admiration, "Even if I am wrong in every way, I risked my life to save you!"

Chen Yunyou did not refute. He asked nervously, "Then, where is my mother? Is she okay?"

Chen Yi shook his head, "I only heard that the princess fell off a cliff, I don't know the details!"

When Chen Yunyou heard this, he couldn't help but take a few steps back.

She asked, "If that's the case, Yun You is already this old, why don't you tell Yun You the truth?"

Chen Yi had nothing to hide, so he said bluntly, "The real murderer of the assassination has not been caught yet. The Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion is far away in the borderland, and we cannot return to the capital without being summoned. How dare I take this risk?"

However, Song Xile did not believe this talk. Considering Chen Yi's character, since he was willing to risk his life to get into this muddy water, the princess must have promised him great benefits.

She asked calmly, "Since the princess handed her husband over to you, she must have also given you a token? Where is the token?"

Chen Yi didn't expect the other party to be so smart and figured out the key immediately.

He suppressed his chaotic thoughts and said, "I can't give you this now!"

How can I get the benefits if I give it to him directly?

At the beginning, the princess promised him that he would raise the child to adulthood. If his elder brother could return to the court, he would take the jade pendant to find that person. The marquis would certainly not treat him unfairly as he had done such a great favor to his lifesaver.

If her elder brother didn't survive, he could also take the jade pendant to take over the industries in Jiangnan. These industries did not belong to the Marquis' Mansion, but were the princess's private property. The jade pendant was a token of trust.

Whether success or failure, he just needs to wait quietly!

Little did he know that such a mistake would happen halfway. He stared at Song Xile with an unhappy look. It was all because of this girl who always ruined his plans.

Song Xile was not afraid of his gaze, and said with a smile: "Then you can always tell me what the token is, so that your husband can answer it when others ask next time!"

Chen Yi thought about it and realized that there was nothing to hide, so he said, "It's a family heirloom jade pendant. The princess said that she and the marquis each have one!"

This is exactly the confirmation Song Xile wanted.

She used her consciousness to communicate with Ah Li, "Ah Li, help me detect if there is a jade pendant in the main room?"

In such a big house, it is not easy to find a hidden jade pendant without searching everywhere.

But all this is nothing in front of System Ali.

In just a few breaths, Ah Li told Song Xile the exact location of the jade pendant, "It's in the partition of the east closet, there's a jade pendant in a wooden box."

Song Xile turned around and called his two brothers into the house, then whispered a few words into Yun You's ear.

Chen Yunyou immediately understood and turned to walk towards Mr. Chen's dormitory.

When Mr. Chen saw this, his face changed drastically. He wanted to step forward to stop them, but was blocked by the two brothers from the Song family.

Mr. Chen said angrily: "This is the Chen family, what do you want to do?"

Song Xile took a step forward and said rudely with a cold face: "Father-in-law, considering that you raised Yun You, I will still keep some affection for each other. If you continue to obstruct us, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"I think the county magistrate should be willing to show some favor to me!"

Old Master Chen's fingers were shaking, "You...you..." He couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time!

After just a few words, Chen Yunyou came out with a wooden box. When old man Chen saw the box in his son's hand, he slumped down on the chair. He knew that his last trump card was gone!
