Outside the Zhu Mansion, it was snowing and icy.

Yan Shuyao was wearing that old cloak and stamping her feet because of the cold.

Damn it! If I had known it was so cold, I would have gone back and put on a different cloak before coming here!

She hurried in through the side door.

The servants in the Zhu Mansion welcomed her warmly as if they were meeting their own master.

Welcomed her into Zhu Nianyan's bedroom.

At this time, Zhu Nianyan was lying on the bed, feeling very uncomfortable.

"Sister, you are here."

Yan Shuyao looked at Zhu Nianyan like this, and a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes.

She said nonchalantly, "Brother, why did you do that ridiculous thing yesterday? Do you know how difficult it is for Brother Jingye now?"

Zhu Nianyan originally thought Yan Shuyao came to see him, but who knew that she would start questioning him.

Naturally, I felt a little discouraged and impatient.

"It has nothing to do with you."

"How is it none of my business? I'm about to become Xu Jingye's principal wife. If you embarrass Xu Jingye, you're embarrassing me."

"How did I embarrass him?"

"Zhu Nianyan! Your sister and I are destined to be the queen. The situation is tense right now. Could you please calm down, drive away all those beautiful women in your house, and stop doing those dirty things?"

"None of your business."

"Zhu Nianyan, I don't want to care about you either, but if you let Xu Jinghuai get hold of you and take you away, I hope you will never reveal your true identity, even if it means death."

"Sister, aren't you just worried that I'll implicate you? Don't worry, even if it's not for you, I won't tell anyone for mother's sake!"

As Zhu Nianyan spoke, he pounded the bed board hard.

Full of resentment.

Not fair, not fair.

He is no match for Yan Yunyi, the legitimate son of the prime minister, who even lets his own sister ride on his head.

Just because he was born a mistake.

He hates, hates himself, and hates everyone!

"Okay, when you calm down, tell me why you were in the women's lounge yesterday and how you got there."

After saying that, Yan Shuyao sat down.

Looking at Zhu Nianyan quietly.

Zhu Nianyan frowned, thinking back to yesterday, all he could think of were the calls for drinking coming from all directions.

"Many, many people urged me to drink, and then I drank a lot, a lot, until I lost consciousness and fell into bed in a daze. I have no memory of how I died. I lost all memory..."

“Who persuaded the most?”

"They all gave very harsh advice."

"Isn't there anyone who started the trouble?"

"Have."

Zhu Nianyan had a splitting headache, and suddenly a person became particularly clear in his mind.

"Yan Yunyi!!!"

Yan Shuyao stood up, "Yan Yunyi?"

"Yes! It's him!!!"

Yan Shuyao narrowed her eyes, recalling the abnormal behavior of Yan Yunyi and Yan Yunshu, brother and sister, during this period, as well as Zhu Nianyan, who used to have no sense of existence in the crowd, but now seemed to be the focus of targeting and discussion wherever he went. Suddenly, an idea emerged in her mind.

"They found you!"

Zhu Nianyan sat up from the couch in shock.

His butt was so painful that after sitting up, he jumped up again.

"What did you say? How is this possible!!!"

Yan Shuyao said nothing. She walked quickly towards the door and said, "I must let my father know immediately."

Zhu Nianyan was still shouting, "How is this possible! Impossible!!! Even if I knew, so what? I'll never admit it!"

At this point, Yan Shuyao paused, turned slightly sideways and said, "I don't need to beat you to death, just hit you once and you'll admit it!"

Zhu Nianyan was stunned.

Yan Shuyao strode forward and left in a hurry.

Caiyunfang.

Yan Yunshu looked at Yan Shuyao's carriage going away, her brows slightly furrowed.

"Why did Yan Shuyao come and go in such a hurry? She doesn't look like she came to visit her brother."

"He must have come to learn about yesterday's events, but he left in such a hurry. Perhaps he guessed something?"

Yan Yunshu looked at Xu Jinghuai, "They should have guessed that we already knew Zhu Nianyan's identity."

"Yeah." Xu Jinghuai nodded, "I should have guessed it earlier."

"Yan Yunyi is in danger in the Prime Minister's residence."

"Since your brother has been so high-profile both times, he must have been prepared for this."

"Xu Jinghuai, do you think I should persuade Yan Yunyi to move to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion?"

"Okay, but..." Xu Jinghuai paused for a moment and said, "But I proposed it to him yesterday, and he said he wanted to stay. If you two leave at the same time, it will definitely attract the attention of Xu Jingye and the Prime Minister's Mansion. It will be difficult for you to keep a low profile in the future."

"Tell him not to worry about this. Given the current situation, it's impossible for us to keep a low profile."

"Well, so today, we will go find him in person."

"it is good."

"Yan Yunshu, do you still blame your brother?"

Yan Yunshu was silent for a long time and did not answer. Instead, she handed a piece of cake to Xu Jinghuai and asked, "How is Wei Ruofeng?"

"The item has been found and is safe and sound."

"Will he have any ideas about the Marquis' Mansion..."

"Xu Jingye did torture him to extract a confession, even threatening his family's lives. However, Xu Jingye was unable to extract any information, and during the time he hid him in the Marquis's Mansion, your grandfather treated him well, so he has no resentment towards the Mansion."

"Xu Jinghuai, you are right in judging people."

"Yan Yunshu." Xu Jinghuai looked at Yan Yunshu with deep eyes, and his words became much gentler.

"Ok?"

“I never miss a person.”

Yan Yunshu chuckled.

"Xu Jinghuai, when it comes to confidence, no one in our Great Tianze can compare to you."

Xu Jinghuai wanted to say something, but his eyes were drawn to Zhu Mansion again.

Xu Jingye is here.

He came in disguise and could escape the eyes of others, but not his.

The shabby carriage and ordinary official uniform could not hide the figure that looked similar to his own.

"Yan Shuyao had just left when Xu Jingye arrived. They were close friends, so why couldn't they come together? Could it be that they each have a secret they can't tell the other?"

Yan Yunshu muttered, feeling a little confused.

Xu Jinghuai looked at Yan Yunshu, his eyes full of admiration and tenderness.

Smart, yet not smart.

Of course Yan Shuyao was hiding things from Xu Jingye, such as her aunt's background, and Xu Jingye was hiding things from Yan Shuyao.

That is naturally the inseparable "grasshoppers on the same boat" relationship with Zhu Nianyan.

Zhu Nianyan also has the secret of Xu Jinghuai's collusion with the enemy.

It's not just an ordinary confidant.

"Could it be that Xu Jingye already knows Zhu Nianyan's background?"

Yan Yunshu asked Xu Jinghuai.

Xu Jinghuai shook his head.

"will not."

"Why?"

"Xu Jingye has a mysophobia. As his wife, he can tolerate Yan Shuyao being a concubine, but he cannot tolerate this concubine's background being tainted."

Yan Yunshu just remembered the meaning of what her grandmother said to Xu Jingye yesterday.

A concubine's daughter born to a lowly maid.
