But now Shen Yu said that she was her aunt's daughter. Even though there were many doubts, her grandmother would not take it to heart and would not ask anyone to investigate. Instead, she thought that everything Shen Yu said was right and transferred all her guilt towards her daughter to Shen Yu.

No matter what Shen Yu said, grandmother would not object and would try her best to promote it.

Even when Shen Yu said that she had fallen in love with the eldest prince and wanted to marry him as his principal wife, my grandmother agreed to help her without hesitation.

But what my grandmother didn't know was that this was the critical moment in the fight for the throne, and the situation was extremely tense. The Prince An's Mansion must absolutely be careful and not make any mistakes, otherwise there would be a disaster that would destroy the Prince An's Mansion.

However, even though his father broke down these principles and explained them to his grandmother, it was of no use at all.

It's just that his father had forgotten his sister, and now his niece has finally come back, she just wants to marry the eldest prince as his principal wife. With the status of Prince An's Mansion in the Great Zhou, it will definitely not be a difficult task.

That would have been fine, but he insisted that his father stand on the side of the eldest prince and help him win the position of crown prince.

In this way, Shen Yu can become the Crown Princess when she marries him, which can be regarded as her compensation to her daughter.

Seeing that nothing he could persuade Shen Yu would convince him, his father had to give up and had someone watch over Shen Yu and the old lady, not allowing Shen Yu to step out of the door.

He was not sure whether Shen Yu was his aunt's daughter. He sent people to investigate, but they found nothing.

This result was within his expectations. After all, how could an aunt's daughter suddenly appear after so much manpower and material resources had been spent on finding a person who had been missing for seventeen years and who had been searched for for more than ten years without stopping?

Anyone with a brain would think that something was fishy.

The reason why his grandmother reacted like that was that she was tortured by missing her daughter.

The appearance of Shen Yu satisfied the grandmother's inner obsession.

He and his family knew why his grandmother acted like this, so they were not angry at her behavior. They just wanted to know what Shen Yu's purpose was in coming to their home.

However, Shen Yu's purpose has been made clear, which is to use his grandmother as a pawn to force Prince An's Mansion to take sides and stand on the side of the eldest prince.

But this is absolutely impossible. Not to mention the character of the eldest prince, even his brother Xie Qichen has been stationed in the northern border for a long time and is a subordinate of the third prince.

Although Prince An's Mansion had never explicitly stated that it stood on the Third Prince's side, he knew that both his father and his brother were optimistic about the Third Prince.

It's just that something happened to the Third Prince a few months ago. Not only can he no longer stand on his legs, but it is also difficult for him to have children. Both legs and children are devastating blows to a man, not to mention that he is an adult prince, the legitimate son of the Empress who holds a large number of troops and is deeply favored by the Emperor.

Such an identity is a deep threat to both the eldest prince and the second prince.

However, the third prince was plotted against and lost his qualification to succeed the throne.

Originally, the eldest prince, the second prince and important officials in the court all thought that the third prince had no chance.

Who would have thought that there would be an imperial decree in this world that would puzzle countless people. Even his father couldn't figure out what the emperor was going to do.

But there is one thing that everyone understands very clearly, that is, the emperor did not give up on the third prince, but instead paved the way for the third prince.

As long as the Third Prince does a good job in disaster relief and settles all the refugees who fled to Qingshan Prefecture, he will return to the capital and become the crown prince in full swing.

By then, no one can stop the third prince from becoming the crown prince. For this reason, the eldest prince and the second prince will definitely not be obedient during this period of time. They will try every means to stop the third prince and disrupt his settlement of refugees.

However, he also knew that it would be extremely difficult for the Third Prince to settle the refugees.

You must know that the imperial court only allocated 600,000 kilograms of grain to the third prince, and no more.

But the number of refugees is not just tens of thousands, but hundreds of thousands. With so many refugees, the amount of food needed is countless.

Even if the third prince had some savings, it would be impossible to buy enough food for hundreds of thousands of people.

After all, settling hundreds of thousands of refugees is not something that can be done in a short period of time. It may take two or three months at the shortest, or more than half a year at the longest. During such a long period of time, the amount of food consumed would be more than hundreds of thousands of kilograms, but possibly hundreds or even tens of millions of kilograms.

How could the Third Prince possibly afford such a huge amount?

He came to Wuning County again, and while looking for his aunt and nephew Mingxuan, he also had to deliver money and food to the third prince.

His father had already made his decision. He would not consider the eldest prince and the second prince. Regardless of whether the third prince's legs could stand up again or whether he would have offspring in the future, he had decided to stand on the third prince's side.

Because his father believed that the great war god of the Great Zhou would not fall so easily, and the emperor would not joke about the Xie family's kingdom.

But what made him depressed was that his people failed to find out where the third prince was.

Before coming to Wuning County, he had already been to the provincial capital, but the third prince was not there.

There was news that the third prince was in Wuning County, but when he came to Wuning County and went to find Yang Zhijin, Yang Zhijin did not tell him where the third prince was exactly, only that he was in Qingshan Town.

Qingshan Town is neither small nor big. If the Third Prince deliberately hides his tracks, even if all his men are mobilized, they may not be able to find him.

But what made him depressed was that the Third Prince was clearly in Qingshan Prefecture to provide disaster relief, but he didn't even show up. He couldn't even send the money and food he had.

But he couldn't stay here forever. Now that Mingxuan had been found, he had to personally escort Mingxuan back to Beijing to prevent something like what happened last time from happening again.

As for the money and food to be sent to the third prince, this is not particularly urgent.

Because he had discovered that the refugees who fled to Qingshan Prefecture were all well arranged and had no shortage of food or drink. This meant that the third prince had no shortage of money and food.

Anyway, there is no shortage of it at the moment, but what will happen in the future is still an unknown.

Sending money and food at this time will not achieve the best effect. Only when the money and food in the hands of the third prince are exhausted, then sending money and food will be like timely assistance, not icing on the cake.

The important thing now is to send Mingxuan back to the mansion. However, when he thought about the chaos in the mansion caused by Shen Yu, he didn't want to go back.

"Ugh!"

Xie Yunzhou was alone in the house worrying about his troubles. Mingxuan walked out of the door and saw Minghao drinking tea and eating snacks. His reluctance to leave became even stronger.

He stood there, watching Mingyu and Minghao talking, and couldn't move.

He really didn't know how to tell Mingyu and Minghao that he was leaving tomorrow and they would no longer be able to study together.
