"What nonsense are you spouting?" Aunt Chi shouted with a strong voice. Still not satisfied, she stood up and slapped Chi Sanhe hard on the shoulder. "What child are you talking about?"

Is it okay to say such things carelessly?

If outsiders overheard this, wouldn't it be a disaster?

"Ouch~" Chi Sanhe cried out in pain, rubbing his shoulder and complaining, "Mom, you're getting stronger and stronger. I don't know how Dad can stand you."

"Shut up!" Old Man Chi cursed angrily.

That poor kid, he's such a handful.

What time is it?

"Mother, let's hurry and take Wulang home now, otherwise it might cause trouble if others see him."

Chi Dashan, as the eldest brother, was the first to speak.

Old Man Chi agreed: "Yes, we shouldn't bring Wulang to the capital anymore, it's too dangerous."

In fact, he now feels that even Pinghe Town is not safe anymore.

After all, quite a few high-ranking officials and wealthy people have bought villas in Pinghe Town, what if...

well!

“Actually,” Chi Tang weakly raised her hand, looked around, and whispered, “Father, Mother, and Brother, have you ever thought that since the Emperor has been sending people to protect me all these years, could it be that Wu Lang’s portrait has already appeared on His Majesty’s desk?”

In fact, she genuinely suspected that the Emperor might already know.

If she were monitoring someone, she would investigate the portraits of everyone in that family and their interpersonal relationships.

As Chi Tang finished speaking, everyone in the Chi family clenched their hands in fear.

if……

"What Tangtang said is very likely." Sister-in-law Chi swallowed hard.

Chi Dashan calmly analyzed, "I don't think so, because if His Majesty had really seen Wulang's portrait, he wouldn't be so calm."

"right!"

If His Majesty already knew of Goro's existence, how could he possibly be so calm?

Chi Tang nodded: "It's possible he doesn't know. But it seems His Majesty doesn't know for now. But... what if that woman tries something against us?"

After all, Emperor Huiwu might not know, but Consort Chen would certainly not forget the existence of Wulang.

Perhaps she didn't know that they had already arrived in the capital.

Can……

What if?

The fact that the eldest daughter of the Yang family, who had been missing for forty years, could be found was no secret in the capital.

In addition, fans were selling very well in the capital, and when people talked about them, they would always say that the son of the eldest daughter of the Yang family was surnamed Chi.

"If I remember correctly, Fourth Brother's fan... the palace bought one too, right?" Chi Sanhe suddenly remembered something terrifying.

Back then, under the management of Young Master Meng, the fan-powered car became a sensation throughout the capital.

Such fine things would naturally be available in the imperial palace as well.

And they're all large-scale...

"No, didn't Sihai install this fan in the palace back then?" Aunt Chi slapped her thigh and stood up with a shout, "Could that vixen have seen it?"

I initially thought it was nothing serious, but upon closer reflection, I realize there were mistakes and oversights everywhere.

Chi Sihai, who had been silent and quite dejected, suddenly said with certainty, "No, she probably hasn't seen me before and doesn't know that we're so close to the capital."

No one replied.

"So what do we do now? It would have been better if we hadn't discovered Wulang's affair, but now that we have, should we proactively inform the Emperor?"

Chi Sanhe asked blankly.

If the Emperor finds out that they knew but didn't report it, won't he hold them accountable later?

But if they speak out, and the Emperor becomes enraged, will he kill them without a burial place?

"Whether I say it or not, it doesn't seem right..." Sister-in-law Chi scratched her head, looking very worried.

What kind of mess is this?

A Han family member who had been missing for several years almost cost them their lives!

"Thump!"

In the silence, Chi Sihai suddenly knelt down, banging his head on the ground in distress: "Father, Mother, I'm sorry!"

If he hadn't insisted on marrying Han, he wouldn't be in this danger now.

It's all his fault.

It has caused a lot of trouble for my parents, and now it has brought disaster to the whole family!

"Why are you kowtowing? We haven't done anything wrong. Who knows what kind of imperial concubine Han might be now?"

Aunt Chi was in a real bind, but she didn't blame her son.

Because this matter had nothing to do with Chi Sihai.

Who made a mistake?

"Why don't we ask the Princess what she thinks?" Old Man Chi said hesitantly.

Chi Tang shook her head: "Let's not ask anyone. This matter... is not something we should let others know about."

This was also to avoid causing trouble for the eldest princess.

Who knows what Emperor Huiwu's attitude is towards this matter?

If he were to become enraged, then all those in the know would be held hostage by Emperor Huiwu.

They'd better not say anything.

“…Alright then, let’s just find some excuse and go back,” said Old Man Chi.

Unexpectedly, Chi Tang still shook his head and refused: "No, Father, it would be too conspicuous if we all went back. Let's just quietly send Wu Lang back alone."

Nobody in the capital knows us, so losing Wulang won't make a difference. We'll go back after Grandmother's birthday banquet. Let's not scare ourselves now; maybe nothing will happen.”

and……

Chi Tang glanced at Chi Sihai, thinking that perhaps the Han family was the most worried.

If the Han family knew they were in the capital, they would probably be so frightened that they couldn't eat or sleep.

After all, it was difficult for the court officials to accept that a concubine had been married and had a child.

If Lady Han had never told Emperor Huiwu about this past event, then it would be even more disastrous.

"Okay, that's fine then. Let's cheer up and not wear our sleeves on our sleeves. Otherwise, people won't know about this, and we'll attract attention because we've given ourselves away." Aunt Chi patted her face, trying to perk herself up.

Chi Sihai silently stood up and said, "Then I'll take Wulang back."

"good."

Aunt Chi discussed it with Madam Yang and they agreed that it would be better to let Chi Sihai take Wulang back first.

Since we don't know the situation yet, the best course of action is to avoid it for now.

Although it was a helpless situation, it was the only way.

Unexpectedly, Chi Sihai and Wulang had only gone a short distance out of the capital when they were stopped. Before they could even speak, they were knocked unconscious and taken away.

Meanwhile, the Chi family's carriages, one large and one small, were still speeding towards Pinghe Town.

If someone who knows them could see them, they would recognize them as Ike Shikai and Goro!

However, the Yang and Chi families in the capital were completely unaware of this!

As for the secret guards who monitor and protect the Chi family, they knew nothing about it.

Their mission is to protect Chi Tang; others are not within their protection scope.

All of this...by a twist of fate, went unnoticed by anyone.
