"The current emperor has five children in total. The eldest prince is the queen's legitimate son and was named the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace when he was born. There are also the second prince, the third princess, the fourth princess, and the young fifth prince."

Wen Yan knew all this. She frowned and asked, "So what?"

"The third princess Zhaoyang, who is the same mother as the second prince, is only 23 years old. When she was 16, she got married and her husband died of illness. She has never remarried since then. Until more than a year ago, a tall and handsome man suddenly appeared by her side. The princess liked him very much and planned to get married in September this year."

"That man's name is Wan Donglan."

"Or, you can also call him Wan Gaofeng."

Wen Yan couldn't believe it, "Zhaoyang? Princess?" Isn't this Chen Shimei?

"That's right, your ex-husband is about to become a superior person." Wang Jiu stared at Wen Yan's reaction, feeling surprised and worried, but not sad.

Wen Yan sneered, and some doubts in her heart were finally resolved: "No wonder Wan Liangzhe was able to become the county magistrate. It must be his doing. Maybe even earlier, on the day in the county government office..." He was also the one who arranged Xu Xiaorou's childbirth, so that the whole family could go to the capital.

"You two are really alike, both of you like to talk halfway. Before I left, he came to me to talk about the smuggling of salt, angrily scolded Wan Liangzhe, and said, 'If it weren't for...' Madam Wen, guess what he wanted to say?"

Wen Yan's face turned cold. "My husband died on the battlefield that year. The people in the capital now have nothing to do with me."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Wang Jiu leaned back in his chair in a good mood. "I thought I would see you crying and running thousands of miles to find your husband, but I didn't expect this kind of reaction."

"I'm sorry to disappoint Commander Wang," Wen Yan stood up and saluted slowly. "Thank you for your reminder, Commander. I have another unwelcome request. Could you please not tell anyone about this? My second daughter has had a good relationship with her father since she was a child. I don't want her to know that her father is such a despicable person."

She didn't admit it, but had to admit it for the sake of her child. A strong person has an inseparable weakness, which is really fascinating. Wang Jiu smiled slowly, "Okay, I'll remember this favor on your head, and I'll pay it back in the future."

Wang Jiu did not stay for too long, seemingly just to pass on a message to Wen Yan. Before leaving, he seemed to have thought of something and continued, "Be careful."

Wen Yan did not refuse his kindness, "Thank you." There might have been feelings between Wan Gaofeng and the original owner, but now these feelings have long been eroded in daily life. How can a person who conceals his identity and abandons his wife and children be a good person?

As he strode away, he also took a bag of tea from the building, saying it was interest.

Yue Xueshun sneaked in like a thief and sat opposite Wen Yan: "How did Sister Wen know him?"

Wen Yan shook her head and said helplessly: "I am just a chess piece blocking his chess game. It's not like we know each other."

"But I see that he is very close to you, Sister Wen. I heard that Wang Jiu is the sharpest knife in the old emperor's hand in the capital. Whoever he points at will will die. He treats the princes coldly and mercilessly, not to mention being close to any lady..."

Wen Yan: "Didn't you just say that he was close to the Second Prince?"

"It's a rumor." Yue Xueshun said, "If there is a handsome and rich man and a handsome and high-ranking man pursuing you at the same time, Sister Wen, who would you choose?"

Wen Yan didn't understand. Looking at him, Yue Xueshun was indeed good-looking, with a refined and elegant appearance like a green bamboo.

She couldn't help but laugh: "One of them is not talking about you, right?"

Yue Xueshun threw his hair behind him in a romantic way, "Isn't it possible?"

"Okay, okay, let's stop talking. It's getting late. I should go home after watching the fun."

"Sister Wen, take care." Looking at Wen Yan's back, Yue Xueshun, who was smiling playfully, slowly restrained his smile, and a barely perceptible sense of loss flashed across his eyes.

...

"Let's go quickly. The county magistrate has already found out that this case has nothing to do with you. Let's go quickly."

Wen Cuishu was pushed and stumbled to the ground. After not seeing her for a few days, the slightly savage-looking Wen Cuishu had lost a lot of weight, and her eyes looked much clearer, making her look a little more fragile at first glance.

But she has a plump figure, and many people stare at her with amazement.

This street was the back street of the county government office, and there were not many people. Wen Cuishu stood up, dusted herself off, and walked out with difficulty. Although her parents were in prison, at least they had left a house for her.

She stumbled back, only to be greeted by the seal on the house her family had just bought.

Wen Cuishu stared blankly at the seal on the door, wondering why things had turned out like this.

First it was my brother, then my parents...will I be the next one to get into trouble?

Wen Cuishu's face was pale and she wandered on the streets like a ghost. After passing through the bustling crowd, Wen Cuishu found herself homeless.

"Shun Niang?!" A tall man came towards her. Wen Cuishu glanced at him and a tear squeezed out of the corner of her eye, "Mr. Wan..."

Before he finished speaking, he fainted.

When I woke up again, I was in a strange room. The bedding was clean and warm, and the room was bright. Unlike the damp and dark cell, this place was like heaven.

"Shun Niang, you're awake." Wan Liangzhe held a bowl of porridge in his hand. "I just called a doctor over. He said you were just frightened and malnourished. How do you feel now?"

Wen Cuishu looked at the man in front of her. Her family went to jail with him, but he was released the next day. But her parents could not escape death. The most important thing was that her parents clearly said that everything was provided by Wan Liangzhe, including the people and where to sell salt. Why did he seem to know nothing about it?

"Much better... Thank you, Master Wan." Wen Cuishu and Wen Yan are from the same family. If you look closely, the two of them are still a little bit similar. She is a beauty. But before, her face was full of fat, and she was sarcastic and mean, which made people feel disgusted.

Now that he was weak and indifferent, he spoke to Wan Liangzhe slowly and gently, which really gave rise to some different thoughts in his mind.

"Although I don't know who is helping me behind the scenes, Shu Niang, don't worry, I will try my best to rescue your parents." Wan Liangzhe looked at her seriously.

Wen Cuishu burst into tears and grabbed Wan Liangzhe's hand: "Really?"

Wen Cuishu's fingers were not as slender as Xu Xiaorou's, but they were very soft, and they made Wan Liangzhe distracted.

Why didn't he realize before that Wen Cuishu was very beautiful?

Especially when she closes her eyes, she looks almost 50% like my sister-in-law.

Wan Liangzhe looked at him deeply with his eyes, his heart beating, and kissed him gently.
