The room, which had been cleaned by the servants, still smelled faintly of alcohol.

Marquis Wanning was leaning against the door with his head lowered, so it was impossible to see the expression on his face at the moment.

After going around the outer room, inner room, side room and ear room, Mrs. Wanning Marquis's face almost dropped to the ground when she returned to the outer room.

"Lu Jiang, I've only been away for a short time and you've messed up the room like this? Even a dog would shake its head and stop talking." On the way here, Lady Wanning Marquis was still thinking about communicating with her husband so as to avoid saying anything harsh in anger and hurting each other. But now seeing the messy room, she just wanted to press her husband's head to the ground and rub it hard.

"What's wrong with me? This is my mansion. Even if I put garbage in it, you can't control me."

Being scolded by his wife in front of his son and daughter-in-law, Wan Ning Hou naturally couldn't blame himself, and he raised his neck and retorted: "But you, you came back without saying hello, and I haven't said anything to you yet?"

"Lu Jiang, do you mean you have decided to divorce me?"

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, it's so tiring to stand. Let's sit down and talk."

I came back home today to solve the problem, not to further intensify the conflict.

Yuan Buwei quickly came up to smooth things over: "Father-in-law, when we came here, we also bought your favorite snacks. Sit down and let's eat and talk."

The Wanning Marquisate had to accept the opportunity given by the daughter-in-law out of respect.

So he sat down reluctantly, but he sat at the outermost seat and looked outside.

When Lady Wanning Hou saw this scene, she was extremely angry, but thinking about today's important business, she told herself to stay calm.

A few seconds later.

She asked, "After you helped Canglang Princess leave, have you kept in touch privately?"

Wan Ninghou was stunned by his wife's question, and turned to ask her: "What do you mean? Are you questioning me?"

"Don't you know? In the morning, Sui'er and Bu Wei accompanied Princess Jinghe to Ganye Temple, where they ran into the Wolf King and his wife. Sui'er and the Wolf King started fighting, and in desperation, the Wolf Princess told him everything."

"What, everything?" Marquis Wan Ning was still being stubborn.

When Lady Wanning heard this, the disappointment in her eyes grew even stronger: "Lu Jiang, at this point, are you still going to pretend with me?"

"Why should I pretend with you?"

"Okay, I'll tell you, the Canglang King's wife has told you everything. She was angry and told the Canglang King that their child died at birth, and that Lu Sui was born to your concubine. Over the years, the Canglang King has been sending people to inquire about Lu Sui's every move, thinking that he is very powerful, and also said..."

"impossible."

Before Wan Ning's wife could finish her words, Wan Ning stood up and retorted, "That's impossible. Princess Cang Lang wrote me a letter, asking me to take good care of Lu Sui. How could she not have told Cang Lang that Lu Sui was not her biological son?"

Yuan Buwei, Lu Sui: ???

When my father (father-in-law) said this, does it mean that he really didn't know the truth?

Madam Wanning was also stunned, and it took her a while to come back to her senses: "But today, Sui'er and Bu Wei heard it from Princess Canglang herself."

"Wait a minute. I...I have a letter from her."

Wan Ning Hou refused to take the blame and went to the study. Soon he brought back several letters. "These letters are all the correspondence between her and me. She sent them to me right after she arrived at the border. They said that she had told the Wolf King about Lu Sui and asked me to take good care of him. She also said that if they could not return to the capital during their lifetime, I should treat Lu Sui as my own son and keep this secret forever."

Mrs. Wanning took the letter, opened it and began to read.

Yuan Buwei and Lu Sui also came over to watch.

After reading the letter, the three of them fell silent.

So, Princess Canglang is deceiving both sides?

"The letters are all here. For a few years, the border was not very turbulent. I was afraid that the two of them would be in danger, so I sent a letter according to the address, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea. I never contacted her again. This time, the couple came back together. I am not sure whether they came back to expose Lu Sui's life experience or have other purposes, so..." Wan Ning Hou looked at the three people, "I thought, I won't tell you yet, I've pissed you off. If they ask me for people, I will use the excuse that you were pissed off by me and I don't know anything to get rid of them."

"Lu Jiang, how old are you? Why are you so naive?" Lady Wanning Hou did not expect that Lu Jiang kept the secret for this reason and not because he had any improper thoughts about Jiang Xinhui. She was so angry that she threw all the letters at him.

"Then I don't know what the couple is going to do. Besides, Jiang Xinhui is my original wife in name. If she shows up and becomes the Canglang King's Consort, what will happen to Sui'er? The Emperor is worried that he can't find any evidence against Sui'er. And the Canglang King is also someone the Emperor has been trying to deal with. The two brothers have been fighting since they were still princes. Others may not know what kind of people they are, but don't I know?"

Marquis Wanning is stubborn and inflexible.

But he was able to inherit his father's title and do better than his father. If he didn't have some brains, he would not be able to make it.

"Why don't you think positively about things?" asked the wife of Marquis Wanning.

"I can only prepare for all possible situations by making the worst-case scenario." Wan Ninghou scratched his head and looked at his wife with helplessness and indifference. "Shuangjiang, I am the head of the family. I can't just take care of myself and you. I have to take care of the whole mansion and even the clan..."

"Lu Jiang, no matter what you do, I have always supported you." Lady Wan Ning interrupted him, her eyes reddened, "Can't we just share the joys and sorrows together?"

"Lin Shuangjiang, you..." Marquis Wanning was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Father-in-law, don't worry. Mother-in-law cares about you too. Besides, we can discuss anything together." Yuan Buwei came out again to smooth things over.

"Yes, father, we are not worms in your stomach. We don't know what you are thinking. If you have any difficulties, we can talk about it together..."

"I just said that the worst result is that I'm sent to the Dali Temple, or the emperor accuses me of some unfounded crime. Then, can you guys out there think of a way for me?" Wan Ning Hou was desperate. How could he not be able to support this family? "On the other hand, if we're all together, are we just waiting to be arrested by the emperor? Will we cry together in prison? And then go to the guillotine together?"

Yuan Buwei, Lu Sui: ...

Madam Wanning: ???

"cough."

The room was silent for a long time, and was interrupted by Lu Sui's cough: "Father, if this is your countermeasure, you can discuss it with us in advance."

"I do think that your acting skills are so bad, especially you..." Wan Ninghou pointed at Lin Shuangjiang, "Do you think that I like drinking? If I don't pretend to be more realistic, will they believe it?"
