Chapter 22 The best person to Wei Qingyan

revenge?

That's what I thought.

Want to kill the Luo family.

Want to kill those bandits.

But Yan Lan wanted to live more. She was born into a military family and had seen many people around her die in battle. She understood better than ordinary people how difficult it was to survive.

After experiencing the incident with the bandits, her desire to live became stronger.

She hasn't gone to Huangshaling to pay tribute to her brother yet.

"If I have the chance to take revenge, I will." She smiled, "Miss Chang, I have been arguing about divorce for two years, but the Luo family has not agreed.

Now that something like this has happened, they have something on me and will definitely not agree... I want to live well and give peace of mind to those who care about me."

"So what are your plans?" Wei Qingyan's expression was gloomy, and his tone was indistinguishable from his joy or anger.

"I want to live in Qingshui Temple outside the city in the name of praying for Luo's mother. When the Luo family is less concerned about me, I will secretly go to Huangshaling."

"If the Luo family divorces you because you were abducted by bandits, what will you do?"

Yan Lan was silent.

The Luo family was willing to carry out this marriage just to establish a relationship with the Wei family.

Now that the Wei family is no longer behind her, if Luo Chengzhou no longer needs her as his legal wife to cover up the scandal for them, then her existence will really have no meaning.

Wei Qingyan looked at Yan Lan like this, as if he saw Xiaoxiao that day. They had all lost their confidence due to suffering.

"Yan Lan, living in humiliation won't bring peace to your father and brother. Now that you know about the Luo family's scandal, have you ever considered that they might kill you to silence you?"

Wei Qingyan raised Yan Lan's hands and said, "Yan Lan, your hands can kill your enemies and protect yourself.

Don't worry about the divorce, Prince Rong will protect your reputation. All you need to do is take good care of your health. I'll accompany you to Tiger Leopard Ridge in a few days."

Hubao Ridge is where the bandits set up camp, and it takes three days to travel by fast horse from the capital.

The group of bandits who were chasing her were all dead. When the bandits intercepted Luo Chengzhou and his men, they did not announce their identities, so Luo Chengzhou and his men did not know the specific location of the bandits' hideout.

Yan Lan was just about to ask how Wei Qingyan knew that those bandits were from Tiger and Leopard Ridge.

Du Xueyi's voice rang out from outside the door, "I'm going too."

Wei Qingyan put Yan Lan's hand into the quilt and tucked the corners for her.

Du Xueyi paused outside the door for a moment before coming in, "Yan Lan, you can live here with peace of mind. The Du family will be your support in the future.

Prince Rong has sent someone to inform Mr. Luo that my sister has brought you to the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion to recuperate.

Luo Chengzhou knows you saved Prince Rong's life, so he won't destroy your reputation for now. However, those bandits must be eliminated as soon as possible."

Lest they talk nonsense.

Yan Lan was deeply moved. She had never thought that even though her brother and Qingyan were gone, their friends would still treat her so wholeheartedly. A simple thank you was too light a token of gratitude. She wiped the tears from her eyes vigorously and said, "I will get better soon."

Miss Chang was right, she was thinking too simply.

Seeing that she had figured it out, Wei Qingyan said no more and asked the maid to boil some medicine.

Yan Lan drank the medicine and fell asleep again.

When I woke up again, I felt much better.

"Yan Lan, Luo Chengzhou came to Beijing this time to seek a job from Wu Yuchu. How much do you know about this?" Wei Qingyan asked casually.

Yan Lan shook her head and said, "Ever since I filed for divorce four years ago, my relationship with him has been strained, and I don't know much about his affairs.

However, Luo Congyun seemed to have an extraordinary status. The Luo couple treated her very politely, and for some reason she was raised in the Wu family.

Luo Congyun once boasted to me that she could give Luo Chengzhou a bright future. I think they returned to Beijing this time just to send Luo Congyun home."

"Do the Wu family and the Luo family interact with each other?"

"Closely, I don't know about the correspondence, but the Wu family always sends gifts to the Luo family several times a year. This was the case when the Wu family was in Ganzhou before, and after being transferred to the capital, they sent gifts to Linzhou even more frequently."

Wei Qingyan pondered, "Will the Luo family send it to the Wu family?"

Yan Lan thought for a moment, as if reminiscing, then shook her head and said, "I don't think I've ever sent anything back. We didn't bring much with us when we came to Beijing this time. My mother-in-law said that my aunt would take care of everything."

Wu Yuchu's official position has always been higher than that of Prefect Luo. Even if they were relatives, it would not be the case that an elder sister would give a gift to her younger sister. Instead, the one with a higher official position would flatter the one with a lower rank.

Wei Qingyan decided to visit Wu's mansion again tonight.

"Why is the prince here?"

On the street next to the Wu Mansion, Wei Qingyan looked at Shi Yu, who was wearing night clothes across from him, and was slightly surprised.

Did the Merit Seal really make him better?

Shi Yu smiled gently, "I made a deal with the young lady, so I should do my best, so I came to the Wu Mansion to take a look."

That's a reason.

But the prince went out personally, so he might not be trying too hard.

Just as he was thinking this, he heard Shi Yu say, "It's customary to reciprocate. When the young lady investigates for me later, you will also do your best, right?"

right.

Wei Qingyan rolled his eyes imperceptibly.

He still has the same virtue as before and is unwilling to suffer any loss.

Little did she know that he had taken great advantage of her and even took away the merit seal that saved her life.

Thief!

Wei Qingyan cursed in his heart.

But considering that he cared about Yan Lan, Wei Qingyan shared the information with him and whispered to him what Yan Lan had said to her in the afternoon.

Shi Yu tried his best to ignore the hot breath she exhaled, calmed himself down, and analyzed in a low voice, "If it is really someone else's who was raised in the Luo family, there should be evidence.

It is very likely that Wu Yuchu and his wife were the intermediaries who sent the person to the Luo family.

But judging by the way the two families interact, it seems the Wu family is begging the Luo family. Does that mean that, although Luo Congyun has an extraordinary status, he is not open to the public?"

"Although she cannot be seen in public for the time being, she will definitely be useful in the future, otherwise Wu Yuchu and his wife would not let the Luo family support her." Wei Qingyan took over the conversation.

She didn't believe that a person who could disregard the lives of 20,000 people would support Luo Congyun out of kindness.

Perhaps Wu Yuchu's transfer back to the capital was related to this incident. Could it also be related to the mastermind behind the Huangshaling incident?

Shi Yu smiled and asked, "So, girl, how will you divide the work tonight?"

Wei Qingyan was a little dazed.

Shi Yu's expression now was very similar to when he was a child, when he instigated her to go to the previous emperor's palace to steal treasures.

She bit her tongue to clear her chaotic thoughts and said, "I'm going to find proof of Luo Congyun's identity."

Shi Yu nodded, "Then I'll go check on Madam Wu and Mother Luo."

Wei Qingyan took out a black cloth from her bosom and wrapped it around her face. Seeing Shi Yu looking at her eagerly, she asked, "What's wrong?"

"I haven't been out at night for a long time. I was a little rusty at work and forgot to cover my face."

He looked very annoyed.

This reminded Wei Qingyan that he had injured himself and been ill for a long time in order to avenge her.

She silently pulled out another black cloth from her bosom and handed it to him, "It was originally used to tie trouser legs, so give it to Your Highness first."

"Thank you very much." Shi Yu pressed the corners of his mouth and took the cloth to wrap around his face.

Wei Qingyan frowned and looked at his silver hair, which was exposed like that. What was the point of covering his face?

She said calmly, "Squat down."

Shi Yu hesitated for a moment, then cooperated by half-crouching in front of her.

Wei Qingyan quickly tied up his silver hair and wrapped it tightly with a black cloth.

Then he took out a piece of cloth from his arms and stuffed it into Shi Yu's hand.

Damn habit!

As Wei Qingyan leaped onto the Wu Mansion with his lightness skills, he cursed softly in his heart.

Shi Yu followed, his eyes filled with smiles.

Behind him, Jingzhe and Dongzang whispered, "I've always been deliberately not wearing a black scarf since I was little. Miss Chang is so smart, how come she didn't notice?"

Dong Zang said quietly, "It's not necessarily that he can't see through it, but he's just willing to spoil me. As time goes by, it becomes a habit."

After all, the prince is the best person in the world to General Wei.

But soon, Dongzang found that it was too early for him to say this.
