May this scumbag husband, who favored his concubine over his wife, rest in peace.

Now that Wen Yuanshu has spoken, she must have sensed something.

Madam Wen also spoke up: "Yuan Shu, don't go back today. I'll arrange your divorce right away!"

Regardless of whether there are actually spies or not, and regardless of whether Marquis Anyuan is really connected with those spies, the Marquis's residence is now a place of trouble, and it is not safe for Wen Yuanshu to stay there.

Wen Heng nodded: "Your mother is right. This matter needs to be investigated slowly. You should get a divorce first!"

“No,” Wen Yuanshu said. “If this is true, then my divorce now would be like stirring up trouble, making it even more difficult to find those people later.”

“Yuan Shu…”

“I am also a member of the General’s Mansion, and a member of the Wen family. I am not afraid,” Wen Yuanshu knelt on the ground, her words resounding. “I am willing to use myself as bait to lure out those foreign spies hiding in the capital, so as to eliminate future troubles!”

"You silly child!" Old Madam Wen wiped away her tears and quickly stepped forward to help her up. "If war really breaks out, your father, your mother, your brother and sister-in-law, and even your nephews can fight! There's no need for you to go!"

Hearing these words from Madam Wen, Wen Yuanshu felt her eyes sting with tears.

In their past life, just as Madam Wen is saying now, the Wen family, young and old, men and women, all went to the battlefield and never returned.

“Mother,” Wen Yuanshu held the old lady’s hand, “Mother has always doted on me since I was a child. I don’t like swords and knives, and Mother has never forced me. But after all, I have the blood of the Wen family flowing in my veins. If you can sacrifice me now and cause such a big hidden danger, it won’t be a loss.”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Old Madam Wen slapped her hand hard.

Wen Heng approached at some point, his eyes filled with satisfaction as he looked at Wen Yuanshu: "Well done, as expected of a daughter of the Wen family!"

Seeing that Wen Yuanshu had made up her mind, the two elders of the Wen family did not object. Madam Wen already had a plan in mind: "Father and Mother, don't worry. My daughter-in-law's dowry maid has also practiced martial arts since childhood. Let Yunzhi go back with Yuanshu. She will definitely be able to protect Yuanshu!"

"Yunzhi is my sister-in-law's dowry, how can she come with me—"

“We’re all family, why distinguish between you and me!” Madam Wen frowned, a rare occurrence for her. “It’s not just me, I’m afraid Father and Mother are also worried about you going back alone!”

Wen Heng and Madam Wen nodded repeatedly.

Seeing this, Wen Yuanshu didn't know what to say. She thanked Madam Wen and was glared at again.

Wen Heng pondered for a moment and said, "Yuan Shu, go back and tell Marquis Anyuan that it's okay to go to the East Suburb Camp, but it will have to be next month."

Anyway, he planned to completely change the layout of the eastern suburban camp. Since Pei Zeyu wanted to go, he would let him go. In any case, once the layout was changed, the information he had gathered would be useless.

However, some important things should be packed away in advance to avoid any mishaps later.

As for the matter of the alien spies, I still need to tell Lu Chengyuan.

That kid has more freedom of movement in the capital than they do.

Wen Yuanshu nodded: "Yes, daughter understands."

After finishing their business, the family called Pei Xi and Pei Zhicheng in.

The two were clearly not getting along well, their expressions increasingly grim.

Only after entering the hall and sitting down next to Wen Yuanshu did Pei Xi's expression soften slightly.

Pei Zhicheng stepped forward and knelt down in the hall: "Grandfather and Grandmother, I was too ignorant before, which is why I failed to enter the clan school. I wonder if you can give your grandson another chance. Your grandson will definitely study hard and pass the imperial examination in the future, bringing honor to the Wen family!"

Madam Wen took a sip of tea, snorted coldly, and said, "No need for that. Our Wen family can't afford to lose face like yours!"

What a joke.

Does the Wen family really need someone with ulterior motives to save face?

Although I don't know why the child suddenly changed his expression, even if he became a god now, it wouldn't help!

Pei Zhicheng had not expected to be rejected so directly.

He paused for a moment before saying, "Grandmother, I know I did wrong before, but please consider that I was young then, and that I now know I was wrong..."
