"It is absolutely true. I have confirmed it by asking again." said the guard.

Prince Tang frowned and said, "Go, call the princess over."

"Yes." The guards took the order.

After a while, Xie Fengyuan came over in small steps.

Xie Fengyuan walked into the room, a maid came forward and took off her red cloak, and another maid obediently went to pour tea.

Xie Fengyuan took two steps forward, knelt down and bowed, "Your Majesty, you asked me to come here, but what's the important matter?"

Prince Tang hummed, "Princess, please sit down first."

"Yes." Seeing that the prince looked serious, Xie Fengyuan found a chair opposite the prince and sat down.

See her sit down.

Prince Tang stretched his neck and adjusted his posture to be comfortable. He then picked up the jade beads on the table and played with them. "Have you heard when Han Jinyan will marry the daughter of the Feng family?"

"King Han is getting married? The Feng family? That Feng family?" Xie Fengyuan's beautiful eyes widened.

"The Mansion of Marquis Yong'en in Yandu." Prince Tang added.

When the legitimate daughters of noble families get married in the future, they will mostly become the mistress of a family's inner chambers. It is a compulsory course for mistresses to learn about the information of the houses of various noble families in the boudoir.

Xie Fengyuan pondered for a moment, and when she found the news about the Feng family in her mind, she slowly said:

"The current wife of the Feng family, Zhu, is the successor of the Yong'en Marquisate. The legitimate daughter she gave birth to should be only twelve or thirteen years old."

"However, the original wife of the Yong'en Marquis's mansion is pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl. Their ages are unknown, but they must be of marriageable age."

King Tang, "When I was in Yandu, I never heard of the Yong'en Marquis's original wife's children."

Xie Fengyuan smiled softly and said:

"Your Highness has never heard of it. It is very common. It is because his family has a son and a daughter born to his first wife, and they are never shown in public. Especially the eldest daughter. I have never heard anyone talk about her in my boudoir. I have heard rumors about his eldest son, who is a fool."

King Tang, "Could it be that he married the eldest daughter of his first wife to the King of Han? How could such a big event never be heard of?"

Xie Fengyuan shook her head. "I've never heard of the Han family marrying a wife. Could this be a plot by the Han family?"

King Tang turned the jade string twice and shouted out the window, "Bone is complete."

A ghost-like man in tight clothes came in, "Master."

"Send a letter and ask the people in Yandu to find out how many legitimate daughters the Feng family has and whether they have really secretly married the King of Han."

Gu Cheng: “Yes!”

The man leaped out of the window.

King Tang shouted to the door again:

"Luo Qian, send someone to Li County to bring the leader of Hanjiazhuang here. Be careful not to let the news leak out."

"Until the investigation is complete, the matter of the quarrel between Han Feng and Li County must be strictly controlled and not spread outside."

Luo Qian responded: "Yes, Master."

Four days passed.

Xue Zhuangtou was secretly taken to Prince Tang's mansion and thrown into a gorgeous living room.

It was the coldest time of the year in winter, with biting cold wind, but Xue Zhuangtou was sweating all the way because of fear.

Da da da……

There was a sound of footsteps, the door opened, and a noble young man wearing a jade crown walked in.

It was King Tang.

Prince Tang walked to the first seat and sat down, with his legs on the low table, playing with Yu Cheng's exquisite beads, and then asked slowly: "Are you the head of the Han family's farm in Li County?"

On each side stood a personal guard, with a sharp look in his eyes, and it was obvious that he was a martial arts master.

"Yes..." Xue Zhuang took a look and immediately lowered his head and said tremblingly.

Prince Tang half closed his eyes and asked in a cold voice, "What's going on with the Feng family's daughter?"

Xue Zhuangtou was very angry. Why did everyone come to see that bitch recently? He was not sure why the nobleman asked, so he answered cautiously:

"The girl from the Feng family has been in the manor for more than five years, but now she is missing."

King Tang looked at him with a half-smile in his eyes, and the overwhelming sense of oppression frightened Xue Zhuang so much that his body went limp.

Xue Zhuangtou took a deep breath, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and asked tentatively, "What does this noble man want to know?"

King Tang looked at him with disdain, "Who is she? Why does she live in the manor?"

The steward of the mansion had told her many times that Miss Feng was the prince's person and would stay at the manor for the time being. But one thing was that she must not reveal her identity and wait for the mansion's arrangements.

Xue Zhuang glanced at Master Jingui with difficulty. The guard beside him snorted coldly and swung the cold long sword at his waist.

Xue Zhuangtou swallowed his saliva. If he stretched his head forward, he would be stabbed with a knife. If he lowered his head, he would also be stabbed with a knife.

"That Miss Feng was sent here by the steward of the palace five years ago. They said... they said she was a member of the prince's inner chamber."

Prince Tang said in a light voice, "Did anyone say that she was the legal wife?"

But it gives people invisible pressure.

Xue Zhuangtou said with cold sweat, "The steward didn't tell me the details, but I... I heard from the maidservants and servants who served Miss Feng that... Miss Feng was originally the legal wife of the prince. I don't know the specific reason."

"Throw him into jail." King Tang said coldly after getting the answer he wanted.

"Sir... I have told you everything I know. Please let me go back to Li County."

"My Lord, I have done nothing wrong."

Xue Zhuangtou begged bitterly.

…………

The only response he got was the sound of cold footsteps.

"Your Highness, how is it?" Xie Fengyuan, who had been waiting in the side hall, took off the cloak for the prince.

Prince Tang stretched out his hand and let the princess fiddle with it. "I think it is true. I have sent someone to Yandu to investigate."

Xie Fengyuan said worriedly: "If it is true, how can my second sister enter the Han family?"

King Tang said disdainfully: "If he could leave someone on the farm for five years, how can you say that Han Jinyan would care about the girl from the Feng family. Our people are already searching vigorously in Yizhou, and if they find her, they will kill her!"

----

Lunar New Year's eve.

The area at the bottom of the cliff, beside the stream, where people usually practice martial arts, is very flat.

Feng Ranhua spoke up and said that they would celebrate the New Year there and have some fun.

The thing that is most abundant in the mountains is firewood. By the time the sun sets, six piles of firewood have already been lit.

When the night is gray, the red light shines brightly.

The dinner was very sumptuous, with six large pots of plump white shepherd's purse dumplings, cold wild celery, cold black fungus, pan-fried fish, pheasant stewed with mushrooms, stewed pig's trotters, and rabbit stewed with radish.

Looking at the steaming dishes, the villagers burst into tears.

I miss home and my lost relatives.

Also remembering the relatives who passed away.

"Miss Feng, I, Old Song, would like to offer a drink to you. If we had not met you, we, a dozen people, would not know where we would be stranded." The loud-voiced Song Jiang raised the ceramic cup and drank it all.

There was a rustling sound, and everyone stood up to thank Feng Ran for his painting.

Feng Ranhua picked up the wine glass in front of him, intending to take a few sips.

Before he could even take a sip, a slender hand took it and drank it all in one gulp.

Cang Xuan stood up and shook the wine glass in his hand.

Under the gaze of the villagers who were sniggering, Feng Ranhua pursed her lips, trying not to touch Cang Xuan.

Wait for Cang Xuan to sit down.

Feng Ranhua chewed a big pig's trotter fiercely and said angrily, "It's just a few sips, what's wrong with that?"

"After our child is born, you can drink it." Cang Xuan's lips curled up.

Feng Ranhua's beautiful eyes widened. Ever since that sweet kiss that day, this guy has been talking about "our child."
