After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

These questions ultimately remained unanswered.

Yuan Ge came here with a lot of questions and puzzles, and she was expecting to get the answers she wanted, even if they were unexpected. But who would have thought that the few answers would bring more doubts, just like the mist in late autumn became thicker and thicker, and nothing could be seen clearly. Behind the huge spider-web-like mystery, there might be a more cruel truth.

At that time, I was puzzled. If "he" really had an incurable disease, if I told him nicely, my grandfather would not necessarily watch him die. Why did he really go to this extent? Now it seems that it is not that the other party is unwilling to tell the truth, but...cannot.

How to explain the strange disease contracted by tomb robbing?

The Murong family is a wealthy merchant with a clean reputation. How could they be associated with tomb robbing? Even if they can justify themselves, how many people are really willing to take on such a troublesome matter? The more famous doctors and scholars are, most of them cherish their reputations and will not easily take risks to take on unheard-of bizarre diseases, not to mention that they may lose themselves if they are not careful. Only a medical fanatic like the teacher would plunge into such a losing business regardless of the consequences.

The Murong family wanted to cure the disease, so they must have secretly searched for famous doctors over the years, but it seems to be fruitless. Also, because of the unresolved grudges with Zhi Xuanshan, this incident happened.

When asked where the Murong family settled, Zhan Yanfeng shook his head and said he didn't know. After a long while, he frowned and said, "When your mother got married, the Murong family suggested that we don't need to go to the door to welcome the bride. Although we felt it was inappropriate, we didn't refute it, so we really don't know where the Murong family lives. Later... Later, your grandfather also wrote a letter to the Yuan family to ask, and the Yuan family replied in a perfunctory manner, saying that they were a famous wealthy businessman in Jiangnan, and we would know it if we asked around. But over the years, I have asked many times, and the answers I got were either vague or completely different, saying that they were from all over the place, as if they moved every year."

"It wasn't until the past two years that there was some progress." Zhan Yanfeng pressed his nose and cleared his throat before continuing, "After decades of development, the Murong family has indeed flourished and has many descendants. They have entered various industries and naturally bought houses in various places. In addition, they deliberately keep a low profile, so when local people talk about 'Murong', their impression is only of those wealthy families of moderate size, and they have never combined these 'Murongs' together... No one has noticed that the Murong family's ancestral home is in an unknown seaside town."

"A seaside town?"

"Yeah." Zhan Yanfeng nodded, tilted his head and joked, "You stay in the mountain all day, and you don't care about what happens at the foot of the mountain, let alone a little-known seaside town... The town is not big, but there are many people, and trade is prosperous. At first glance, it looks lively. Murong's ancestral home is there. Most of the people living in the ancestral home are direct descendants. Now, except for your maternal grandfather, most of them are your mother's half brothers and sisters and their descendants."

Brothers and sisters... Nowadays, these relationships seem particularly ironic.

Yuan Ge felt disappointed, but he still felt like something stuck in his throat because of the blood relationship. After hesitating for a moment, he finally decided to change the subject and asked, "Where is the town and what is its name?"

"It's not that far to the southeast. It's only about five or six days' drive if we gallop... It's called, what's it called... Oh, yes, Anshi, Anshi."

After the words fell, Yuan Ge was suddenly stunned. She felt that this Anshi sounded very familiar, but for a moment she couldn't remember where she had heard it before. While she was frowning and thinking, Zhan Yanfeng had already noticed her abnormality and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why? Do you know that town? It seems... you haven't had a few days of leisure since you left Zhixuan Mountain."

After saying that, he recalled the girl's lazy look before, and couldn't help but laugh and shook his head, and asked again, "Shengjing City is much more lively than the mountains, right? These wealthy families are not easy to deal with."

"There are not many easy-going people on the mountain." Yuan Ge slowly leaned back in his chair, his eyes falling on the fingertips of the other person stroking the teacup. There were faint scars on the slender knuckles, but in comparison, the skin was still as white as jade and well-maintained. Yuan Ge retracted his gaze, smiled silently, and then asked Zhan Yanfeng, "Third Uncle, why did you bother to enter that secret room...? The Yuan family, the Murong family, or do you really want everyone in the world to be buried with my mother?"

The other party's eyes tightened, and Yuan Ge said, "I have been thinking these days that if you really only want the Yuan family to be destroyed, you can just stand by and watch the Second Elder tossing around. He is greedy and greedy, and his actions are getting more and more unrestrained. In addition, Jin Su has committed crimes one after another for his own selfish desires. It is only a matter of time before Zhi Xuanshan is involved. Why do you have to wade into this muddy water yourself? So, Third Uncle, what exactly is it in the secret room that you want?"

Zhan Yanfeng's fingertips trembled slightly, as if they were burned by the empty porcelain cup in his hand, and then quickly recovered to normal. He smiled softly, rubbing the tiny wounds with his fingertips, and then he said with infinite melancholy, "Standing aside and watching... How can it be as fun as performing on stage? Anyway, I don't want to live for a long time, so naturally I won't cherish my life too much."

There was nothing wrong with what he said. Zhan Yanfeng was indeed a madman who only wanted to go to the underworld to reunite with his lover after taking revenge - he could totally do it.

Yuan Ge fully believed that, given Zhan Yanfeng's personality, he was completely capable of digging his mother's coffin out of the grave and burying himself in it. This kind of thing, which seemed extremely absurd and unruly to most people in the world, was...extraordinarily appropriate to Zhan Yanfeng.

He's crazy.

Beneath this skin that looks gentle, calm and self-possessed, there is a soul that has already gone mad.

Even though Yuan Ge knew that Zhan Yanfeng was not telling the truth and that he must have other intentions for the secret room, it was obvious that he had no intention of "telling everything he knew" on this matter. He had come here only for news about the Murong family. Now that he had asked almost all the questions, Yuan Ge just nodded and prepared to get up and leave. However, halfway through her body, she suddenly remembered the word "Anshi"...

"Anshi?" She tensed up instantly. "A seaside town... Anshi? But, safe and sound... An?"

"Indeed." Zhan Yanfeng nodded, "Have you heard of it?"

Of course I had heard of it... At that time I just felt that it sounded familiar, but now I remembered that there was a shop with the name "Anshi" in the dowry that Wen Peiji sent at that time.
