Chapter 95: I know that my brothers love me.
Ruan Yunbo opened the letter and took a look, not understanding what it meant. "It looks like correspondence between Liang Huaifeng and a friend. Is there anything wrong?"
Xie Yan also took it and took a look at it, his dark eyes narrowed slightly: "This letter... has the totem of Yin State!"
Ruan Yunbo still didn't understand. "What happened to Yin State? My canal transport department occasionally does business with merchants from Yin State."
Ruan Yunsheng shared his guess and the letter he had found in the study of the Taiwei Mansion.
"It might be normal for General Sun to have contact with the people of Yin, but he hid several seemingly ordinary letters in a secret compartment. And then there's Liang Huaifeng. He not only secretly works for General Sun, but also has connections with the people of Yin."
"Today at the Liang residence, Sun Manying, Bai Ruowei, and the Liang Huaifeng couple originally planned to drug me and then use despicable means to harm me. However, I discovered it in advance, so they changed their plan and sent out the 'assassin'."
"They went to such great lengths to kill me. Besides the grudge between Sun Manying and me, it's probably because General Sun guessed I had seen the letter in his study and was planning to kill me to silence me."
Ruan Yunbo's heart skipped a beat. "So, you've been investigating something so dangerous!"
When he thought about how many dangers his sister had experienced these days, he couldn't help but feel upset and blame himself.
"I didn't even know anything and let you go out and take risks alone. Third Brother is so useless!"
Ruan Yunsheng hurriedly said, "Third brother, you are usually so busy, and I deliberately hid it from you, how could you know all this? And I am fine, right?"
Ruan Yunbo sighed, "Shengsheng, you're being ridiculous! You knew there was a trap at the Liang Mansion, yet you still went to the banquet... If anything happened to you today, how would you let Third Brother survive?"
Ruan Yunsheng shook his third brother's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Don't worry, third brother, I know my limits. I brought the hidden weapon that my second brother made for me, and the poison that my fourth brother gave me. Besides, isn't my cousin here with me?"
She glanced at Xie Yan and added softly, "Fifth brother is also helping..."
When Xie Yan heard the words "Fifth Brother", his heart sank again.
Pei Jinghong raised his eyebrows slightly. This was the first day he heard his cousin call Xie Yan "Fifth Brother" since he came to the Marquis' Mansion. Before that, his cousin always called Xie Yan by his full name.
His eyes lingered on the two of them. He found that his cousin's attitude towards Xie Yan had changed a lot after returning today.
Xie Yan has been good at disguise since he was a child, and he has become even more scheming as he grows up, but sooner or later he will expose Xie Yan's true face!
Ruan Yunbo didn't find anything wrong. In his heart, Shengsheng was the most well-behaved sister in the world. Although she and Xie Yan had different personalities since childhood, Xie Yan had always been tolerant of his sister.
Now that the younger sister has grown up, the "brother and sister" will eventually live in peace.
He sighed, "Fortunately, I have your fifth brother... Otherwise, Liang Huaifeng would be desperate and who knows what would happen."
Ruan Yunsheng had kept it a secret from his third brother for such a long time, and he felt a little guilty, blinking his long eyelashes.
"My brothers love me, I know that."
Xie Yan's Adam's apple rolled, and he felt mixed emotions.
Good news, Shengsheng finally no longer rejects or hates him.
Bad news, Shengsheng treats him as her brother...

Taiwei Mansion.
At this time, the wife of the Grand Marshal was hugging the crazy Sun Manying and crying heartbrokenly.
Sun Manying bites everyone she sees and smashes anything she sees, so they have no choice but to gag her and tie her up.
Several imperial physicians have come, but none of them can do anything.
Liang Huaifeng and Qu Rumei knelt on the ground.
Liang Huaifeng said tremblingly, "Master Taiwei, I'm not doing my job well... But I didn't know before that Princess Mingyi is good at using poison!"
He had sent people to investigate the cause of death of Furong and others. Furong, Tian Daniu and Achang all died of poisoning, and the other two old women were stabbed through the heart by someone.
Could it be that Ruan Yunsheng is not only good at using poison, but also a martial arts master?
General Sun didn't tell him about such an important matter before, so it's not his fault if it didn't get done.
The reason why Sun Manying went crazy was because of poisoning. They were sure that Sun Manying's poisoning was inseparable from Ruan Yunsheng.
But there is no evidence!
The Taiwei's wife pointed at Liang Huaifeng and said sternly, "My daughter went to your Liang Mansion in good health, and now she's back like this. How are you going to make amends?!"
Qu Rumei stammered, "Madam, please calm down. Everything was originally arranged, but Miss Sun and I didn't know that Ruan Yunsheng was actually good at using poison, so something went wrong..."
Liang Huaifeng hurriedly said, "Master Taiwei, this Princess Mingyi is not as weak as she appears. She killed several people in my house today and turned my study upside down!"
"The most important thing is that she also took away the letters I used to contact her!"
Marshal Sun's face was gloomy, and he wanted to send someone to the Marquis' Mansion to kill Ruan Yunsheng immediately, but Xie Yan was still staying in the Marquis' Mansion!
Xie Yan was in the Marquis' Mansion, and the group of secret guards around him were also in the Mansion.
To kill Ruan Yunsheng, Xie Yan must first leave the Marquis' Mansion!
He waved his hand with a gloomy face, "You guys go first."
Liang Huaifeng thought that General Sun would be furious and would punish him, but he didn't expect that General Sun would let the couple leave so easily.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly left with Qu Rumei.
The Taiwei's wife looked at the two men from behind and said fiercely, "Master, Manying got into trouble in the Liang Mansion. Although Ruan Yunsheng was the culprit, Liang Huaifeng and his wife were also responsible for not taking good care of her. How could Master let them go so easily?"
Her daughter has become like this, neither human nor ghost, and she wants everyone to pay the price!
A sinister glint flashed across General Sun's eyes.
A fool like Liang Huaifeng is of no use.
It would be better to discard this chess piece and replace it with a more handy one...
Late that night.
A fire broke out in the Liang Mansion, and Liang Huaifeng and his wife died in the flames.
The next morning, Prince Duan entered the palace.
Imperial Palace, Chengming Hall.
The emperor woke up in a daze in the morning, had no appetite for breakfast, and was obviously in a bad mood.
Eunuch Yang asked carefully, "Your Majesty, did you not sleep well last night?"
The emperor waved his hand and asked the palace servants to remove the breakfast.
"I dreamt of A Rao last night..." The emperor sighed, "A Rao hasn't appeared in my dreams for a long time."
He sighed as he spoke, "Before A Rao died, I promised her that I would take good care of our son, but Xie Yan was beaten a few days ago. I wonder if A Rao is worried, so she came to blame me?"
When Eunuch Yang heard the word "A Rao", his eyelids twitched and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to speak casually.
The emperor sighed a few times, then his face suddenly darkened. "I heard that when Prince Xuan left the palace, he couldn't even walk and was helped out by the guards!"
He slammed his palm on the table, "Those palace servants are truly rebellious. How dare they hit the prince so hard!"
"And you!"
The emperor glared at Eunuch Yang, "Why didn't you try to persuade me back then? Lord Anyuan is the same way. His son deserved death, yet he had the nerve to come to the palace to complain!"
