The daughter of a noble family is reborn, and she is doted on by her godmother.

The name "Yan Luniang" surprised both Yun Yuke and Yuan Chen, and they both turned to look at Gou Chenjun.

"You two are finally showing some reaction. It seems we can continue our discussion?"

"Who exactly are you?" Yuan Chen finally spoke, his tone hesitant. "Who is Yan Luniang? How do you know this name? Do you know the Tongyuxing Trading Company?"

"No, no, no, I don't know Tong Yuxing. But stop pretending, young lady. I heard you talking in private just now. As for Tong Yuxing, I have been investigating Tong Yuxing's so-called crime of colluding with foreign enemies for the past eight years. So I naturally know who Tong Yuxing's Yan Dong family is. Judging from your age, you are Yan Dong's eldest daughter, Yan Lu Niang."

Seeing that he had intimidated the two men before him, Gou Chenjun's tone grew increasingly flippant and arrogant, "I've been investigating for eight years, and Tong Yuxing was framed back then..."

"Is it true? Who is trying to harm my shop?!" Hearing that Tong Yuxing had been wrongly accused, Yuan Chen finally relaxed.

"Oh? So you finally admit it, Yan Luniang."

Gou Chenjun's smile grew even brighter, his eyes filled with the satisfaction of his plan succeeding.

"You lied to me?"

Yuan Chen was initially happy to hear that her family was innocent, but upon seeing the other party's cunning smile, she realized that this was a deliberate scheme. She froze on the spot, and the light in her eyes dimmed instantly.

Yun Yuke's posture remained unchanged, but the arm protecting Yuan Chen moved slightly, holding the little girl even tighter.

"It's not exactly a scam. I've investigated for eight years and there's no evidence to prove that Yan, the owner of Tong Yuxing, is connected with the so-called foreign enemy. The only thing that could be considered a connection is the so-called 'Tong Yuxing gift list'."

Gou Chenjun bowed respectfully to Yuan Chen, "I apologize for slightly deceiving you, young lady. However, after eight years of investigation, there is indeed no evidence to prove that Tong Yuxing has any collusion with other places. It should be able to prove that someone framed Tong Yuxing."

"Now that we're on the surface, Lord Gouchen, what exactly do you know? You should at least tell us. You've tricked us out of so much information; did you come here today just to show off?"

Yun Yuke questioned sharply.

“That’s right, I’ve come to see you about something else. Miss Yan should have already examined that gift list, right? That list isn’t a gift list at all, is it?”

Seeing that his identity had been exposed, Yun Chen regained his composure and rallied his spirits. "Yes, that order looks more like a purchase order from Tong Yuxing."

“That’s it.” Gou Chenjun nodded.

"What exactly is that gift list? And where did you get it from?" Yun Yuke asked the question she had been wanting to ask all along.

"That gift list is one of the pieces of evidence in the case of Duke Wu Jing's embezzlement." Gou Chenjun casually stated what he knew.

"what!"

"This is impossible!"

Yun and Yuan spoke at the same time, both quite shocked.

"Gou Chen Jun, this isn't your real name, is it? Who exactly are you? Magistrate Sun just investigated the case of Duke Wu Jing's embezzlement, and you already know these things are related? I know you spent some time in the county government, but don't take the information you just learned as evidence. Do you think we'll believe you just like that?"

Gou Chenjun smiled and shook his head, "Boss Yun, with so many questions you've asked me, which one should I answer first?"

“Then let’s go through them one by one. You can’t possibly forget what I just asked, can you?” Yun Yuke never backed down in a verbal exchange.

"Alright, alright, you two have told me so much, so naturally I should share some information as well."

Gou Chenjun cleared his throat and slowly began to speak, “Let’s start with the first question, my real name. Gentlemen, I am Sun Heng, a deputy general under the Duke of Wu Jing. I was not affected at the time, so for the past eight years I have been organizing my connections to exonerate the Duke of Wu Jing.”

"Secondly, I admit that Magistrate Sun is very intelligent. He figured out the connection between the two cases on his own. It has nothing to do with me. I only discovered that he had already started investigating the events of that year when I was infiltrating the county government. I even left him a letter."

When Gou Chenjun spoke of Magistrate Sun, his tone, which was originally smiling, became tinged with admiration.

"If you have a good relationship with the magistrate, please remind him that given his position, it's best not to investigate this case lightly. Even if he does investigate, he must not let anyone in a higher position know that he is investigating."

"Why is that?" Yun Yuke had some guesses in her mind, but she still wanted to hear the other party's opinion first.

"The logic is simple, Boss Yun. Back then, Tong Yuxing was framed, so naturally, Duke Wujing was also framed. Tell me, if the person who framed Duke Wujing finds out that someone is investigating the old events... do you think Magistrate Sun can expect a good outcome? Or, think about it carefully, someone of Duke Wujing's status, who could possibly eradicate his entire power base?"

"Hmm...that makes sense." Yun Yuke could tell from the other person's expression that what they said was probably true and reliable information, and nodded slightly.

“Qingqing is absolutely right… He who steals a hook is punished, but he who steals a country becomes a prince.” Yuan Chen had his own guesses after hearing the previous conversation. He felt that the future was bleak. He closed his eyes and two lines of clear tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

The bright moon shines, and the beauty sheds tears. The scene before him is quite moving. When Gouchen saw this, his heart seemed to skip a beat, but he quickly regained his composure and returned to his carefree self.

"Why did you tell us this?" Yun Yuke didn't forget the important matter.

"That brings us to another matter, Mr. Yun. I asked you earlier, after you arrived at the county government office, was it you who appraised the value of those treasures?"

"How could I forget that? Those treasures are yours."

"To be honest, those were the jewelry of Lady Wujing, including her crown, necklace, and other accessories. At the time of the incident, I was on orders to find craftsmen to repair the jewelry for Lady Wujing."

Lord Gouchen, Sun Heng, spoke slowly, shaking his head and gesturing as if to appear profound. Unfortunately, the deliberate pauses in the middle were far too obvious.

Yun Yuke frowned and shook her head helplessly.

Lord Gouchen... you're really speaking without thinking, you're probably just missing the point of revealing your true identity.

Don't think we don't know. Wu Jinggong's real name is Gongsun Ning, Sun Heng. He thought he could hide his identity by removing one character.

Several slips of the tongue basically revealed the person's identity.

Let's see what he says next.

"So what do all this have to do with those jewelry pieces? Aren't you trying to exonerate Duke Wu Jing? What does this have to do with anything else?" Yun Yuke asked.

"Boss Yun, this habit of asking a series of questions is really bad. What exactly do you want me to answer?" Gou Chenjun Sun Heng shrugged helplessly.

Say as much as you can.

"Alright, alright, Mr. Yun, my request is that if you have time, please help me maintain those pieces of jewelry. I know they are quite old, but I can't take them out to be repaired. Now that the treasures are with you, I can only ask you to take care of them."
