Wushan bowed to Meng Yunshang again with a sincere look, "I came to see Miss Cheng today to express my gratitude."

"Thank you for helping me find Yunniang, so that I don't have to suffer from lovesickness anymore. Therefore, I am happy to tell you all the information I know, without involving any transaction."

Meng Yunshang was a little surprised.

But he still raised his hand towards Wushan, indicating that he could speak whatever he wanted.

"Everyone thinks that I select suitable talents for the Fang family. Those with strong martial arts skills are sent to the southwest military camp, and those who are good at Gu and literature stay in the Fang family. But in fact, I only control the preliminary shortlist. The real decision is made by Mr. Yuan."

"According to my observations over the years, this Mr. Yuan never shows up in public, and very few people in the Fang family know of his existence. Even I only heard about it from a drunk Fang Yuan by chance. I only know that his origins are a mystery, and he doesn't often come to Jincheng."

"I once tried to find any clues about Mr. Yuan. It took me a lot of effort before I found a half-burned piece of letter paper in the brazier in Fang Yuan's study."

"The incomplete letter said that the court would soon send General Cheng to the southwest, and asked Fang Yuan to find a way to capture General Cheng."

"When I saw the letter, I also thought about whether I should contact General Cheng in advance. But Fang Yuan used Yun Niang's whereabouts to coerce me into making the Lost Heart Gu, and also said that if I helped him control General Cheng, he would let me go free."

"At that time, I just wanted to find Yunniang and leave the Fang family, so..."

At this point, Mr. Wu bowed to Meng Yunshang and said, "I'm sorry for hurting General Cheng. Although I had no choice, it did cause trouble to General Cheng."

"If General Cheng wants to hold me responsible, I am willing to accept the punishment. However, Yunniang has nothing to do with this matter. Please don't implicate him, Miss."

Meng Yunshang bent her knees and tapped the table lightly, saying, "After my brother woke up, I told him the reason for the incident. He said that ignorance is not a problem, and as long as you do more good deeds in the future, he will not pursue the matter any further."

"Thank you for your understanding, General. I will do good deeds in the future. I will just pray for Yunniang."

Meng Yunshang breathed a sigh of relief, "It's great that you think so."

"Do you know how Fang Yuan is connected to Mr. Yuan?"

Wu Shan shook his head, "Fang Yuan is extremely vigilant. Every time he asks for help from Mr. Yuan, the message is sent by a special secret guard around him. After receiving Mr. Yuan's reply, it will be burned immediately."

"Then in your opinion, is Fang Yuan's treatment of Mr. Yuan a kind of help and interaction between peers, or is it more of a lower-ranking person respecting and obeying a higher-ranking person?"

"It should be the latter," Wushan answered firmly.

"Fang Yuan obeys Mr. Yuan's orders. Whether it's the Southwest Military Camp or the Jincheng Fang Mansion, Mr. Yuan has his hand in all matters."

Meng Yunshang frowned, "I'm curious."

"Miss, please speak frankly."

"According to what you said, Fang Yuan always cleans up the letters written by Mr. Yuan, so you should not often receive Mr. Yuan's orders. But how do you know that Mr. Yuan controls Fang Yuan's behavior?"

"It's very simple," Wushan chuckled.

"Ok?"

"Fang Yuan is a little clever, but he is definitely not wise. Those ideas that are spread and praised are mostly Mr. Yuan's ideas. The bad ideas that are criticized and questioned are mostly Fang Yuan's own ideas."

Meng Yunshang: “…”

In other words, all the brilliant ideas were thought up by Mr. Yuan, and those that were not worth mentioning or even despised were thought up by Fang Yuan himself.

Meng Yunshang didn't know whether to sigh that her worldview had been refreshed, or to question the truth of Wushan's words.

It is really hard to believe that such a person actually leads the number one family in the southwest.

After thinking for a while, Meng Yunshang asked another seemingly unrelated question, "Sir, do you know anything about Ling Guqiu?"

"A person who is smarter and more ambitious than Fang Yuan."

Meng Yunshang raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, "From your tone, it seems that you quite admire Ling Guqiu?"

"Let me put it this way. If Ling Guqiu and Fang Yuan had swapped positions, General Cheng wouldn't even have had the chance to come to the southwest."

In other words, Ling Guqiu is more capable and does things more successfully.

If he were in charge, he would bring the Fang family and the Southwest Army to a higher level.

Emperor Yuan Qing had no chance to decide the fate of the person.

Meng Yunshang asked Wushan with deep eyes, "In your opinion, how should we deal with people like Ling Guqiu?"

Wushan had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and he clearly felt Meng Yunshang's temptation towards him.

Since he had deliberately exposed Mr. Yuan, Meng Yunshang would not make things difficult for him if he concealed his shortcomings.

But he came here today to surrender, so he had to show his utmost sincerity.

Therefore, after some thought, he analyzed to Meng Yunshang in a sincere tone:

"People like them usually have a problem, blaming bad luck and unfair fate. He is obviously no worse than Fang Yuan, but he is suppressed by Fang Yuan in every way. If he could get help from heaven to push him up, he would definitely climb to the top at all costs."

"And the higher you stand, the more painful it will be when you fall."

Meng Yunshang's eyes sparkled.

Wushan's intention was to give Ling Guqiu some hope, so that he would take the initiative to break the alliance between himself and Fang Yuan and work hard to climb up.

It would be a devastating blow to wait for him to climb to what he thought was a high position and then have him fall to the ground.

This is great advice!

"Sir, you are indeed very wise," Meng Yunshang praised sincerely.

Mr. Wu was a little apprehensive. "Miss, you are too kind. I just expressed my thoughts."

Meng Yunshang was silent for a moment and then said, "I also heard your news for nothing. If you need any help, please feel free to ask."

Wushan's expression changed slightly. He turned around and exchanged glances with Yunniang, then they both knelt down in front of Meng Yunshang in an orderly manner.

Wushan said, "I am not talented, but I am willing to serve you as a dog or horse."

Yunniang said: "Although I have been displaced these years, I have seen the ups and downs of life and know a lot of people's hearts. If you need anything, Yunniang is willing to be at your disposal."

If Mr. Wu's words only surprised Meng Yunshang, then Yunniang's self-recommendation shocked her.

"you……"

"We have discussed this carefully," Wushan answered loudly, holding Yunniang's hand tightly.

"Don't be afraid of being laughed at by the young lady. I have also thought about living in seclusion in the mountains with Yunniang, but the Fang family has been looking for my whereabouts, and I don't want Yunniang to worry with me. So if the young lady is willing to take us in, we are willing to go through fire and water for her."

Dan Gui frowned when she heard this, "You nominally say you don't want to make a deal with our lady, but in fact you want more."

To make a deal, just pay the money and the goods.

But staying with the princess is different. What if they have bad intentions?

The princess is now their key protected person.

Mr. Wu was not annoyed when questioned by Dangui.

Instead, he gently explained, "Miss Dangui is wrong. The reason why I don't discuss the deal with you is because in my heart you are my benefactor. Yunniang and I will not eat for free. We are willing to do our best to help you solve your problems."

The meaning of this statement is very clear.

They were worried about being plotted against by the Fang family and were willing to exchange their abilities for a safe future.

Meng Yunshang did not object to earning a living with her own hands. After a brief thought, she smiled and said, "It is my honor to have the two of you treat me with such affection."

Wushan and Yunniang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
