"Thank you, Lord Qin." Yi Qianhuan saw Qin Zifu return to the carriage and touched Yi Mobao's head, "Mobao, do you want to go with mother?"

Mo Bao nodded without hesitation.

Of course he had to go with his mother and personally protect her safety!

Here, Ji Chilian lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and looked at the backs of Yi Qianhuan and Yi Mobao as they got into the carriage.

"Let's go, follow me." Ji Chilian noticed Qin Zifu's gaze and turned to look at him, "Why is Lord Qin looking at me like this?"

"You want to go with me too? This matter has nothing to do with you. It is me who wants to meddle in this matter. You should go back first, Nine Thousand Year Old Man."

Ji Chilian is the chief supervisor of the Beifusi, and no one can figure out whose side he is on.

"Lord Qin seems to have forgotten that this is my carriage."

Qin Zifu just remembered and stood up quickly: "I will leave now...!"

"Lord Qin. Even if you don't let me go with you today, I am still confident that I can wade into this muddy water. But I can guarantee that if Lord Qin gets off the carriage now, you will not be able to join in the fun at the Duke of Yi's Mansion today." Ji Chilian said calmly with a chuckle.

Lord Qin couldn't believe it: "You actually threatened me!"

"I am just being realistic. If you don't believe in superstition, Lord Qin, you can give it a try." Ji Chilian smiled and twirled the Buddhist beads in his hand, but there was a clear and cold light in his eyes.

"I really don't know how you, as Prime Minister Shen's adopted son, haven't inherited any of Prime Minister Shen's character!" Qin Zifu has always been calm and steady, but he always loses control of his temper when facing Ji Chilian.

"If Lord Qin keeps talking nonsense, Yi Qianhuan's carriage will be far away." Ji Chilian reminded.

Qin Zifu exhaled heavily: "Let's go."

Yi Qianhuan's carriage was not moving fast, and she led a group of onlookers to her third uncle's mansion.

She got off the carriage holding Yi Mobao, and just in time saw Qin Zifu also getting off the carriage.

"Madam, would you like me to go in with you?" Qin Zifu walked towards Yi Qianhuan.

"Today I have invited the common people to come together, and naturally I have to find out the truth in front of them. Liuli, go and invite your grandmother and third uncle, and ask them to come to the outside of Duke Yi's mansion for a detailed discussion." Yi Qianhuan said to Liuli behind him.

Liuli nodded in agreement, turned around and entered the mansion.

Soon, a family of four dressed in gorgeous clothes walked out of the mansion.

The leader, Yang, saw Yi Qianhuan and Yi Mobao at a glance. Before she could even express her surprise, she immediately saw Qin Zifu and at least dozens of people standing in front of the gate of the mansion.

Just now, Yang heard the situation outside the door from the doorman who came to report. Her eyes turned and she pinched her thigh when no one was paying attention.

She was old, and her steps paused as if she had tripped. Her whole body was trembling, and when she raised her head, her eyes were red.

Yi Qianhuan was standing at the door, just in time to see Yang's series of small movements.

Yang was seen wearing a dark green dress and an emerald headband. Her hair was tied up with silver hair. She looked energetic, but her eyes were filled with tears.

"Huan'er! It's really you!" Yang burst into tears after taking one look at Yi Qianhuan. She was supported by her son and daughter-in-law and walked to Yi Qianhuan, staring at her closely. "When the servants came to report just now, I couldn't believe it was really you who came back. Now it seems that God has really helped you come back safely! Child, where have you been for the past five years? Why is there no news at all!"

Yi Qianhuan watched Yang's performance with a fake smile.

She has been back for several days now, and Yang must have known about her return a long time ago.

But the old woman seemed to realize it only after a short while, as if she was looking forward to her coming back.

"Great-grandmother, my mother has been back in the capital for several days. If you really miss my mother, why don't you come to visit her?" Yi Mobao's voice was very childish. He looked up at Yang and said, "Besides, we met Uncle Tianci at Duke Yi's mansion before. Didn't Uncle Tianci say that we would come back to visit in the next two days? How come Great-grandmother didn't know that we were coming?"

"I didn't hide it, I told you..." Yi Tianci, who was standing behind his parents, said subconsciously, but ended up getting a glare from his father Yi Guifan.

Seeing this scene, the people who were watching the fun began to talk.

"I originally thought that Yang was too excited because she hadn't seen Yi Qianhuan for too long. But if you think about it carefully, the news of Yi Qianhuan's return has spread all over the capital, and even the princess's mansion has invited her to be a guest. It is impossible that everyone in Duke Yi's mansion has only learned about it now. They should have been mentally prepared a long time ago."

"Looking at Yang's innocent look, I almost misunderstood that the Crown Prince's wife had neglected her family."

"That's not the case. Yang is old, and perhaps she missed the Crown Prince's wife too much, so she couldn't control herself when they met..."

"But if Yang really wanted to see him, why didn't she send a visiting card to the Pingyang Marquis's residence these days? Not even a letter of greeting."

Yi Qianhuan listened to the discussions around her, as if she didn't notice Yang's increasingly embarrassed expression: "Granddaughter knows that grandma misses you, so I came here today because I have something very important to tell grandma."

Yang looked at Yi Qianhuan's solemn expression, feeling a little uneasy: "Oh? What's the matter?"

"During the battle of Xiye, my father died and my eldest brother disappeared. I was heartbroken and felt that there was something fishy going on. Fortunately, my father appeared in my dream and I now know that there was something fishy about my father's death. I came here today to find out the truth and give my father an explanation!"

"This matter is of great importance, and I'm afraid I can't explain it clearly here. Huan'er, grandma hasn't seen you for a long time, and I have a lot to say to you. Please come in quickly, and let's discuss it slowly as a family." Yang pulled Yi Qianhuan's arm, trying to pull her in.

Yi Qianhuan stood firmly in place and gently broke away from Yang's hand: "Grandma, what happened to my father back then is not only a concern for our family, but also for the people in the capital. Today, my granddaughter specially invited Lord Qin to come here. We must investigate the truth of this matter in front of the people, and give them an explanation."

"Isn't it inappropriate to announce the family affairs of our Duke Yi's Mansion in front of so many people?" At this time, Yi Guifan's wife, Dou, smiled awkwardly.

"Madam Third is wrong. Duke Yi was a loyal and brave minister. In the battle of Xiye, Duke Yi died and Prince Qianyuan's whereabouts were unknown. It was already very tragic. I cannot bear to let them suffer injustice again. I ask Madam Yang to agree to let me and the people witness the truth of this matter with our own eyes!" Every word Qin Zifu said came from the heart.

"Please, madam, let us witness it together!" the people present said in unison.
