After Yan Yunyi had picked up some dishes for the three people, he began to eat contentedly. Yan Yunshu was sitting opposite Yan Yunyi, looking at her brother as if he were a fool.
"Brother, what have you been busy with these days?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Yunyi paused with his chopsticks, then put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "I've been busy collecting testimonies from forty-eight people."
"Forty-eight?"
Yan Yunshu was surprised. She had heard that Zhu Nianyan behaved badly, but she didn't expect him to be so bad!
"Brother, please protect them well. If we don't have enough manpower..." Yan Yunshu looked at Xu Jinghuai beside her, "Xu Jinghuai."
Before Xu Jinghuai could speak, Yan Yunyi nodded repeatedly, "It's enough for now. If it's not enough, I will definitely ask my brother-in-law for help."
My brother-in-law Xu Jinghuai's face turned red again.
Yan Yunshu said worriedly, "Brother, don't take it lightly."
"Brother-in-law, does my sister always nag you like this?"
Yan Yunshu's face froze. She angrily knocked away the chopsticks Yan Yunyi was eating with, "How dare you talk like that!"
"Not bad." Xu Jinghuai coughed lightly and continued eating.
Yan Yunyi began to beg for mercy, "I was wrong, sister."
Yan Yunshu glared at him.
He looked at Wei Ruopu again, and saw that Wei Ruopu was staring at Xu Jinghuai blankly, with a hint of confusion and expectation in his eyes, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Yan Yunshu felt a strange feeling in her heart.
Could it be that these two people are attracted to each other?
Xu Jinghuai, ah Xu Jinghuai, it's time to show the magnanimity of your future princess.
"Xu Jinghuai, what are you going to do after dinner? Do you want to go to the opera..."
"Listening to an opera..."
The last two words of Xu Jinghuai and Yan Yunshu overlapped surprisingly.
Listen to opera.
The two looked at each other and were both very surprised.
"Qingyunfang?" Yan Yunshu asked.
Xu Jinghuai nodded.
"Is there any other place?" Yan Yunshu thought of the young prostitute who was half-dead after falling in Qingyunfang that day, and felt a little resistant. She had seen this scene many times in the death row in her previous life, but that didn't mean she had to rush there.
"Don't worry, the same thing as last time won't happen again."
"oh."
To be honest, Xu Jinghuai is a really understanding person. It is not difficult to talk to him. He always knows exactly what you are thinking.
But, is it really possible for such a clear-headed person to be plotted against?
Whether it was Ning Jinhua’s glass of wine or Yan Shuyao’s props.
None of them looks like they can plot against Xu Jinghuai.
Yan Yunshu looked at Xu Jinghuai, and for some reason, she felt a hint of admiration for him that she was not even aware of.
After the four of them finished lunch, Wei Ruopu got on Yan Yunyi's carriage, and Yan Yunshu got on Xu Jinghuai's carriage.
The two carriages slowly moved towards Qingyunfang.
"Yan Yunshu, do you think Wei Ruopu is suspicious?"
"What? Wei Ruopu?" Yan Yunshu couldn't believe it. She looked at Xu Jinghuai, "Xu Jinghuai, what do you want to say?"
"Wei Ruopu is hiding something from us."
"What's the matter? Could it be the matter about his brother that you mentioned?"
Xu Jinghuai nodded with a heavy expression.
"Xu Jinghuai, with your style of doing things, you would have kept the Wei Mansion under tight surveillance as soon as you returned to the city. If Wei Ruofeng had any connection with your brother, how could you not know?"
"There is absolutely no possibility that Wei Ruopu will meet Wei Ruofeng. I just feel that Wei Ruopu has something to say."
"What do you think Wei Ruopu didn't say? What did he say? Why didn't he say it?"
Xu Jinghuai looked at Yan Yunshu and said, "Perhaps, he clearly has clues to his brother's whereabouts, but for some reason, he can't reveal the clues."
Yan Yunshu recalled Wei Ruopu's expression just now.
The look of wanting to say something but hesitating.
I think what Xu Jinghuai said is possible.
"Xu Jinghuai, he didn't say anything. He must have a reason. Maybe it would be very detrimental to him and his family. Or maybe we haven't given him enough sense of security to make him feel that he can entrust his life and the lives of his family to us."
"Yan Yunshu, you are absolutely right."
"so……"
"Yan Yunshu, those last words and relics are worthless to those who have nothing to do with them, but they are the only chance to redress the reputation of the Battle of Wangyue City. They are also the last thoughts of the relatives of the soldiers who died on the battlefield."
Xu Jinghuai's expression was solemn. "All the soldiers in our army were willing to die to protect the people of Wangyue City. Countless bodies have been left, yet we are slandered by the world. They accuse us of disregarding the people, being greedy for life and afraid of death, and of not distinguishing friend from foe in our desperate pursuit of survival. We fight recklessly, are callous, and are brutal and bloodthirsty..."
As Xu Jinghuai spoke, his whole body began to tremble and his voice was torn.
It exuded a fragility and pain that Yan Yunshu had never seen before.
Yan Yunshu couldn't bear it, so she hugged him tightly.
"Xu Jinghuai, you are a hero. You are all heroes of Tianze. The misunderstandings of the world will one day be made clear to the world." Yan Yunshu's eyes flashed with determination. "Those who try to slander and defame you will eventually pay the price with blood!"
Also, in my previous life, those who deceived me, hurt me and harmed me will eventually pay the price!
Xu Jinghuai's emotions gradually calmed down.
"I hope so..."
"Xu Jinghuai, there is a way. If Wei Ruopu has any clues, think about it, who can threaten him more than us? Think about it, if your reputation is ruined, who will benefit?"
Xu Jinghuai's face was cold, "Xu Jingye."
Yan Yunshu nodded, "Yes, there is another person."
"who?"
"The current queen!" The current queen has a dull temperament, does not fight or compete, is introverted and silent, and is even always lukewarm towards Xu Jingye. Occasionally, she would criticize Xu Jingye in front of the emperor.
But Yan Yunshu knew that her mother-in-law in her previous life, the Queen Mother, was definitely not an easy person to deal with.
Everything was just an illusion she created.
Xu Jinghuai smiled, "Yan Yunshu, you are not stupid."
"Xu Jinghuai, have you understood it a long time ago?"
"Yan Yunshu, I know everything."
"Could it be the Queen?"
"No."
"Why?"
"The Queen will not take action personally."
"But she will instruct others to teach Xu Jingye how to make a move!"
"Um!"
"Xu Jinghuai, do you think it's possible that Xu Jingye has already killed Wei Ruofeng and disposed of those items?"
"No, Wei Ruofeng is still alive."
"How do you know?"
"He was entrusted with an important mission. Before leaving, he took a secret medicine that required human breath to nourish him. If he died and his breath was gone, the secret medicine would be able to emit a signal. Even if the signal was far away, it could be detected by the secret guards in my palace."
"Oh..." Yan Yunshu seemed to have heard something extraordinary.
The world is so big that there are really all kinds of wonders.
"So he's not dead yet. Either he's hiding well with the item, or he's being hidden well, and he's never revealed the whereabouts of the item."
"Xu Jinghuai, I think the second possibility is more likely!"
