When they heard her say that the king of the previous dynasty who lost his country had secretly sent a pregnant noblewoman out of the palace before the country was destroyed, both brothers were shocked.

Therefore, there is a great possibility that the bloodline of the Wei family is still alive in the world.

And after several generations of reproduction, they have probably reached a certain scale.

I believe that even the emperors of the Jin'an Dynasty would not have thought that there would be some fish that slipped through the net.

Jiang Yanting, who had just woken up, blurted out the question in his mind: "How did Xiao Si know such a secret?"

Song Yunxi: “…”

Before he could stop him from talking, Jiang Yanting asked again, "And last time, how did you know that the Death Pill was hidden in that abandoned palace in the palace?"

Song Yunxi glared at Jiang Yanting fiercely: That’s a good question, don’t ask it next time.

In fact, it was not only Jiang Yanting who was confused, Qin Xubai and Ji Ziche were also confused.

When they heard about the matter of taking the Death Pill, they all felt that the process of Xiao Si finding the Death Pill was too natural and it was obvious that he knew from the beginning that the Death Pill was hidden in that abandoned palace.

How could she know the affairs of the previous dynasty so clearly?

But they also understood that since she never mentioned it, she must have her own reasons, so as long as she didn't say anything, they wouldn't ask.

Xiao Si will never harm them at any time, and she will tell them honestly when she wants to.

Song Yunxi's head was buzzing. Could she say that in her previous life, she was humiliated by Concubine Shen and locked up in that abandoned palace, and she discovered it by accident because she was too frightened?

In fact, Song Yunxi never thought of hiding it from them, but the time travel and rebirth was too shocking, and she hadn't figured out how to say it.

Moreover, her past life was so miserable that what she worried about most was that they would be sad and feel guilty if they knew about it.

"A year ago, when I was recuperating at Song's farm after my leg was injured while saving Shen Zhikang, I saved a maid who escaped from the palace. I heard it from her."

"That old nanny has been in the palace for her entire life and knows a lot of palace secrets. I learned a lot from her."

No one questioned Song Yunxi's answer, and they still believed her even though they knew it was false.

Ji Ziche asked Qin Xubai for his opinion: "Big Brother, should we inform the palace about this?"

Qin Xubai shook his head: "Don't make it public for now."

There is no solid evidence for all of this. If we just say this, with Emperor Qinglong's petty and suspicious character, I'm afraid even Master and Shengyunshan will be suspicious.

Ji Ziche naturally understood his concerns and was extremely worried: "If we don't find out who is behind this, I'm afraid that Jin'an Dynasty will stir up a lot of trouble."

Song Yunxi silently complained in her heart: It's more than just wind and waves, it's simply a huge storm.

First there was the Death Pill, and now the Cold Marrow Grass has appeared. Qin Xubai keenly sensed the intentions of the surviving Wei family members who were ready to make a move.

It seems that it is necessary to conduct a thorough secret investigation into the Wei family.

Before the three days agreed with Madam Zhu arrived, something unexpected happened in the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

When Song Yunxi arrived at the Grand Tutor's Mansion, Madam Zhu was surrounded by members of the Zhu clan. She looked so pale that she would have collapsed if Lord Zhu hadn't been supporting her.

"Yu has been married to Xuan Heng for more than ten years but has no children. Not only has she failed to continue the lineage of our Zhu family, she is also jealous and immoral and does not allow Xuan Heng to take a concubine. We, the Zhu family, cannot keep such a useless and jealous woman!"

Mrs. Zhu's maid Chunlan took Song Yunxi to hide outside the hall and watched everything.

The person who spoke was a dignified elder with white hair and long beard. If I was not mistaken, he should be the patriarch of the Zhu family.

Chunlan's red and swollen eyes were filled with mist again: "Miss, that is the patriarch of the Zhu family."

really!

Song Yunxi asked Chunlan: "Do they often embarrass Madam like this?"

"That's not true."

Chunlan told the truth: "The entire Zhu family depends on the care and support of the old master. Knowing that the old master loves my wife, he dare not make things difficult for her. He just says a few sarcastic words occasionally. This is the first time that the clan leader has brought people to force you to divorce your wife."

Chunlan's words made Song Yunxi smell a faint scent of conspiracy.

Zhu Xuanheng protected his wife, and his usually gentle eyes became a little sharper: "Uncle, it's my fault that I don't have children, and it's also because I don't want to take a concubine. It has nothing to do with Yuanniang!"

Even in modern times, few men would take the responsibility for being infertile, and some would even push the blame onto their wives, let alone in the Jin'an Dynasty, which attached great importance to the inheritance of offspring, and especially in a man with a family background like Zhu Xuanheng.

The fact that he could take the blame for his infertility in front of so many clansmen shows that Zhu Xuanheng is not only a man of noble character as people say, but also a good man who deeply loves his wife.

【Master Zhu is indeed a real man! 】

Zhu Xuanheng, who had just had a look of suppressed anger on his face, suddenly froze and instinctively turned his head to look back following the sound.

Nobody.

Could it be that he had mental problems because he had been handling official business for several days in a row and had not gotten enough rest?

[These old guys must have some bad intentions to come to the Grand Tutor's Mansion to cause trouble. I don't believe they are really considering the old Grand Tutor and Master Zhu.]

The excuse Zhu Xuanheng had just found for himself was overturned by the clear and pleasant voice that came again.

But whether it was the tribesmen or his wife in front of him, it was obvious that they did not hear it.

Am I the only one who can hear this sound?

Zhu Xuanheng, who was shocked, did not notice the horror in the old tutor's lowered eyes.

The clan leader slammed the table in anger and said, "Xuan Heng, you are so confused. Fortunately, everyone here is from the Zhu clan. Otherwise, if you spread what you just said, do you know how outsiders will laugh at you and belittle you? Do you want to save the old master's reputation and your career? How many people in the court will use this as an excuse to suppress you? Have you ever thought about it?"

Zhu Xuanheng was about to retort when Qingyue's disdainful voice rang out again.

[Are you worried about the old Taifu's reputation and Mr. Zhu's career? That sounds better than singing! Aren't you just worried that if something really happens in the Taifu Mansion, those useless people in your clan who are living off the Taifu Mansion will have nothing to lose? ]

[Especially the useless sons of this old man, how much money have they taken from the people by relying on the Taifu Mansion? If the matter is exposed, it is the Taifu Mansion that will take the blame for them, and it is also the Taifu Mansion that will suffer the damage to its reputation. They can calmly take the money they have squeezed out and live freely. ]

Zhu Xuanheng's eyes changed when he looked at the old patriarch.

The sharper look startled the old patriarch, but when he thought of Zhu Xuanheng's respectful attitude towards him, he felt more confident.

"It's fine if you don't want to divorce Yu, but this concerns the heirs of my Zhu family. The issue of the child cannot be delayed any longer."

Zhu Xuanheng asked calmly, "What should we do according to Uncle's opinion?"

Hearing Zhu Xuanheng asking about himself, the old clan leader cleared his throat and straightened his back: "You and Yu are a young couple. If you really don't want to divorce her, it's up to you, but you must adopt a child from the clan. I can't let your bloodline be cut off with you.
