After the tragic death of the daughter of the emperor, she returned to her former marriage and refus

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderclap that exploded in everyone's heart.

"Wei Ruopu!" Yan Yunshu said sternly, "Don't talk nonsense!!"

"Really, really!" Wei Ruopu's eyes turned red with anxiety. He stood up and said hurriedly, "Ruopu didn't dare to lie. He told the truth. That's what Zhu Nianyan said at the time. I knew it was impossible. How could it be in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion! Maybe he wasn't completely drunk and was just bluffing me!!"

"Ruopu! This matter is of great importance, you must explain it clearly." Yan Yunyi frowned and looked at Wei Ruopu with a serious expression.

Wei Ruopu's tears rolled down his cheeks. "Brother Yan, I swear to heaven, everything I just said is true."

"How could Wei Ruofeng be in my grandfather's house? It's simply a fairy tale!"

"Yes! It's unreasonable!"

"This Zhu Nianyan is definitely deceiving you!"

Yan Yunshu and Yan Yunyi, brother and sister, were talking to each other, and no one dared to believe that what Zhu Nianyan said was true.

Only Xu Jinghuai remained silent.

Yan Yunshu was about to pull Xu Jinghuai to stand on her side, but when she saw Xu Jinghuai's silence while talking to Yan Yunyi, her heart suddenly sank.

She knew Xu Jinghuai too well, and she didn't need to think too deeply about what his silence meant.

"Xu Jinghuai..." Yan Yunshu looked at him in panic.

Xu Jinghuai withdrew his gaze from Wei Ruopu and placed it on Yan Yunshu's pale face, then smiled, a very gentle smile, as if trying to comfort Yan Yunshu's frightened heart.

He said, "Yan Yunshu, it's very likely."

Yan Yunshu took a breath and said, "You say."

"Yan Yunshu, because of our absolute trust in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, the only place my secret guards haven't investigated regarding this matter is..."

"The Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery?" Yan Yunshu's voice trembled, and she looked at Xu Jinghuai in disbelief.

"Ah."

"No way, no way."

Yan Yunshu recalled everything in her past life and thought about everything in this life, but she couldn't understand why her maternal grandfather's house could not be the place where Wei Ruofeng was hiding.

If in the previous life, my grandfather might have done these things that benefited Xu Jingye and harmed Xu Jinghuai because she was in love with Xu Jingye, but in this life, she had clearly rejected the marriage proposal from Xu Jingye and chose Xu Jinghuai. How could she have any relationship with Xu Jingye again?

"Yun Shu, don't scare yourself yet. Let my secret guards investigate in the next few days, and then everything will be clear."

Yan Yunshu's brows were tightly furrowed, and the corners of her pretty eyes were slightly red. She clenched her hands in her sleeves, and her whole body was still shaking unintentionally.

"Yunshu, don't worry. Even if it's true, I won't do anything to your grandfather. Just be at ease."

Yan Yunshu looked at Xu Jinghuai.

Good boy, he guessed what he was thinking again.

Yes, she thought of a possibility. She refused the marriage proposal a month ago, and Wei Ruofeng disappeared a year ago. So, when Wei Ruofeng disappeared, she was still devoted to Xu Jingye.

So it is very likely that my grandfather at that time knew that he would not turn back, so he could only help Xu Jingye openly or secretly.

It is not impossible to help him hide Wei Ruofeng.

If Wei Ruofeng is really in the Marquis' Mansion, then what about now? She has already broken up with Xu Jingye.

How did Wei Ruofeng's grandfather deal with it?

"Xu Jinghuai, if my grandfather has no concern for the country and the nation, no right or wrong, and only cares about me, his granddaughter, can you remove him from this matter..."

"can."

Xu Jinghuai answered without hesitation, "Yan Yunshu, I just said that no matter what happens, as long as it is related to the relatives you care about, I will cover it up."

Yan Yunshu, I don't have any right or wrong in my heart. There's only you, Yan Yunshu.

Yan Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt filled with regret.

Why was I so blind to like Xu Jingye in the first place?

For her own sake, the grandfather she harmed might be involved in the fight for the throne. If this was the only thing, it would be fine. But what Yan Yunshu was worried about was whether there would be anything else?

Yan Yunshu suddenly had a headache.

"Don't worry, sister. This is just speculation, and there's no real evidence." Yan Yunyi said, "Zhu Nianyan is cunning and treacherous. He might not speak the truth when drunk. It's possible that he's deliberately trying to sow discord."

"Captain Yan is absolutely right." Xu Jinghuai nodded in agreement.

She originally came here to listen to a play, but seeing bad things happening one after another, Yan Yunshu has completely lost her mood.

Xu Jinghuai naturally knew this, so in front of Yan Yunshu, he immediately gave the order to investigate the Marquis' Mansion.

He also repeatedly explained to Yan Yunshu that no matter what happened, his maternal grandfather and his family would be able to escape unscathed.

This finally eased Yan Yunshu's mood a little.

The heavy snow was still falling outside the window. As dusk approached and the cold night was approaching, more and more people came to Qingyunfang.

The actors in Qingyunfang were still singing and playing.

One song ended, and another one began, without stopping. At dusk, the song finally stopped, and the storyteller came on stage for a moment, telling the story of the goddess again. He told it in a miraculous and vivid way, and even told the love story of the goddess and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The description is gentle, moving and heart-wrenching.

The storyteller on the stage was moving, and the audience below was deeply touched.

Yan Shuyao, the concubine of the prime minister's family, should marry into Prince Ye's palace and become the legitimate wife.

If Prince Ye ascends the throne one day, Yan Shuyao becomes the queen, and the goddess becomes the empress, it will bring blessings to the world and it will be a great blessing for Da Tianze!

After a stick of incense had passed, the story was finally finished. The entire Qingyunfang applauded and cheered.

Yan Yunshu and Xu Jinghuai smiled at each other.

"Xu Jinghuai, is this another arrangement by you?"

"Yeah." Xu Jinghuai nodded.

"Since the rumor has spread so widely, Your Highness, shouldn't you release the goddess from the woodshed so that the world can see her face more clearly?"

Xu Jinghuai looked at Yan Yunshu with a smile, "It was released this morning."

"Xu Jinghuai, you are indeed thoughtful."

"Thank you. It's the same with you."

Yan Yunshu and Xu Jinghuai stood side by side in front of the railing of the private room, looking at the boiling crowd downstairs.

"Xu Jinghuai, you've completely gotten involved in my affairs. If you want to retreat, it's still not too late."

"Yan Yunshu, I will not retreat. Your business is my business."

"Xu Jinghuai, think carefully. You didn't know Yan Shuyao's true nature before, but from now on, you will spend more and more time interacting with Yan Shuyao, and things will not be as simple as you think."

"know."

"Xu Jinghuai, since we are an ally, I hope you can always be thoughtful and alert."

There was a deep meaning in Yan Yunshu's words.

That was the shackle she had carried in her previous life and this life.

This shackle had once trapped her and her brother, and she didn't want Xu Jinghuai to become one of them.
