"Pengcheng, why are you suddenly trying to track down the Crown Prince?"
Ye Pengcheng didn't talk about Ye Xiaoxiao directly, but just spoke vaguely.
"Hasn't Fan'er been working as the shopkeeper at some bookstore lately? I'm feeling a little uneasy."
"Brother, how is it going? Have you found anything?"
Qin Chuan nodded, "I did find something different from usual."
"It's just that I didn't expect that the prince would have such a side to him."
When Ye Pengcheng heard this, he immediately became interested.
"Brother, tell me quickly, what did you find out?"
Qin Chuan shook his head. "There are too many people here. It's better to go to my house and let my father tell you in person."
Ye Pengcheng looked around and nodded helplessly.
The carriage moved forward quietly, and Ye Pengcheng had never felt that time passed so slowly.
After Ye Pengcheng urged three times, the carriage finally arrived at the gate of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion.
Ye Pengcheng jumped down without waiting for the servant to put down the horse stool. Qin Chuan had no choice but to get off the car with the help of the servant.
When the two of them arrived at the hall, the old Duke had been waiting for a long time.
"Father-in-law, I greet you."
Ye Pengcheng respectfully saluted the old Duke, and then at the old Duke's signal, he and Qin Chuan took their seats.
As soon as he sat down, the old Duke spoke slowly.
"I used to have some friendship with Master Liu. Ever since you asked Chuan'er to help me, I have been making inquiries from various sources and indeed, I have learned some things."
"The Tianquan Bookstore is not owned by the Crown Prince, but it does have some relationship with him."
"As for who the boss is, I'm afraid only the boss and the prince know."
"However, Tianji Bank does belong to the prince."
"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have thought that the person who has been giving porridge to the people all these years would actually be the prince."
"It seems that we have really misunderstood him all along."
"The one who is truly concerned about the people is not Prince Yu, but our Crown Prince!"
Ye Pengcheng was surprised to hear the old Duke's high evaluation of the prince.
He knew that there must be something he didn't know.
Sure enough, after the old Duke sighed, he continued.
"According to my investigation, Tianji Bank not only provides porridge to the people every month, but also purchases some grain and herbs every year and sends them to the border."
"Although, there is also your majesty's intention in this."
"However, the items that Tianji Bank sends to the border every year are more than Your Majesty requested."
"However, every time the grain is transported, Tianji Bank will ship it in two batches."
"Most of it was given to the soldiers stationed at the border, and a small portion was given to the hungry civilians along the border."
Ye Pengcheng frowned, "Father-in-law, do you mean that Your Majesty knows that this bank belongs to the prince?"
The old Duke nodded, and Qin Chuan spoke with some confusion.
"Since Your Majesty knows that it was the Crown Prince who did it, why did you attribute all the credit to Prince Yu?"
"And that Prince Yu, why has he never come out to clarify?"
The old Duke sighed, "This is a royal affair, how can we easily interfere?"
"But, Pengcheng, I'm afraid that the sudden investigation into these matters isn't just because of Fan'er being the shopkeeper, right?"
Ye Pengcheng was a little embarrassed. He looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he spoke.
"To be honest, father-in-law, some strange things have happened in our house in recent days. I'm afraid others won't believe me if I tell you about it."
The old Duke had seen all kinds of big scenes, and after hearing what Ye Pengcheng said, he was not afraid, but even more curious.
"Oh? How strange is it? Tell me so I can open my eyes."
Ye Pengcheng pondered for a while before telling Ye Xiaoxiao everything he had heard.
When he finished speaking, the old Duke and Qin Chuan were both stunned.
It took a long time for the old Duke to come back to his senses.
"Pengcheng, are you serious?"
Ye Pengcheng nodded seriously, "This matter cannot be false. Not only my husband and I, but even our four sons can hear it."
"At first we were very worried, afraid that other people might hear it."
"But fortunately, after multiple observations, we found that other people couldn't hear it."
"Including Xinxin, sister-in-law, and Xiaoxue, they can't hear it either."
"We thought that only blood relatives could hear Xiaoxiao's inner voice."
"However, Xiaoxiao doesn't know that we can hear her inner thoughts. I hope that Big Brother and Father-in-law can keep it a secret."
The old Duke and Qin Chuan were both very surprised, Ye Pengcheng said again.
"Xiaoxiao is not aware of this matter, so I hope my father-in-law and eldest brother can keep it a secret for us."
The old Duke and Qin Chuan agreed without hesitation, and then the old Duke sighed again.
"That's great. As it stands now, the fewer people who know about this, the better."
"As for the matter between Xiaoxiao and the Crown Prince, I have already sent someone to investigate."
"The Crown Prince goes to the Huguo Temple on Nanshan Mountain every year to pray for the Queen, so Xiaoxiao and the Crown Prince do have a chance to meet."
"However, I haven't found out how they became what they are now."
Although he had known for a long time that Ye Xiaoxiao was pregnant with the prince's child, Ye Pengcheng still felt it was incredible after it was confirmed by the old Duke.
The old Duke noticed Ye Pengcheng's shock, and then looked at Ye Pengcheng and Qin Chuan seriously.
"If what Xiaoxiao said is true, then what are your plans next?"
Needless to say, the reason Ye Pengcheng inquired was because he believed what Ye Xiaoxiao said.
But Qin Chuan's mind was a little confused for a moment.
