He then said coldly, "Your Highness Prince Cheng is such a joke. The Xie family's business is legal and has never violated any laws or regulations. If Your Highness is worried, you can investigate."
"Don't be stubborn, or you will regret it." Li Chengshun threatened.
"Your Highness, please do as you please." A hint of sarcasm appeared on Xie Wanyun's lips.
Li Chengshun's face darkened, he flicked his sleeves and strode away.
Xie Wanyun shook his head secretly.
Now that we have been targeted, we will temporarily suspend our business with Mobei.
A burst of laughter rose from the doorway, and Jin Bai trotted in and threw himself into her arms. "Mother!"
Xie Wanyun's mood, which had just been depressed, suddenly brightened up. Hugging her son, she smiled and said, "Jin Bai, I've been busy these days and haven't had time to visit you. Do you miss your mother?"
Jin Bai nodded vigorously. "I miss my mother, every day. I know it's not convenient for her to come to my house all the time."
Jin Bai smiled slyly, lowered his voice, and covered her ears with his two little palms.
"After all, my uncle is here. If my mother goes there too often, people will gossip."
Xie Wanyun raised his hand and slapped Jin Bai on the butt! "You kid, you are becoming more and more unruly!"
"Mom, it hurts!" Jinbai screamed exaggeratedly.
Xie Wanyun was both angry and amused. How could Yan Suizhi, with his cold and aloof personality, have turned Jin Bai into such a mischievous child?
Jin Bai made a fuss for a while, then suddenly said seriously, "Mother, let me tell you something. Do you remember the girl who helped you in your shop before? Her name was Wei Mingyue?"
Xie Wanyun nodded. "I remember. What's wrong?"
"She's now a maid in my house! I felt strange when I saw her that day. What's she thinking? Is she also attracted to my uncle, like Miss Zhou, and wants to marry him? Mother, let me tell you, there are many people who like my uncle. Don't ignore him. After all, there aren't many men as handsome and dashing as my uncle, and he's also a high-ranking official."
Jinbai clearly came to give a tip-off, but after a few words, her tone changed and she started to actively promote her uncle.
Xie Wanyun was speechless!
What was going on in this child's little head? She was still surprised that Wei Mingyue would work as a maid in the Yan Mansion.
I thought she was quite flexible. But what was her motive? After all, she was a daughter of an official family. She couldn't be so poor that she had to work as a maid? Could it be that she really had feelings for Yan Suizhi?
Ahem, ahem, what are you thinking about? Could it be that Jin Bai's influence has changed my thinking?
His face turned stern and he said to Jin Bai, "You'd better not meddle in adult matters as a child."
Jin Bai agreed with a smile, but he didn't really take it to heart. After meeting Wei Mingyue that day, he felt a little uneasy, so he asked the housekeeper to bring the roster and check Wei Mingyue's background. He then told his mother.
Time flew by as the mother and son talked. Xie Wanyun had already divorced her husband and severed ties with the Qin family, which gave her fewer worries. All she had to do was find out about the march map as quickly as possible.
Let the fact that the Xie family was defeated and died for their country be made known to the world.
But I didn't expect that the Sixth Prince would suddenly appear out of nowhere.
A few days later, as expected, officials from the Ministry of Revenue came to inspect her goods and business dealings. Fortunately, Xie Wanyun had already prepared for the situation, and since the incident wasn't serious, they couldn't find fault with her. However, these people were relentless, coming in to inspect her every now and then. She was so annoyed that she was considering filing a complaint directly with the Ministry of Revenue.
Before she could act, news broke that the Sixth Prince, Prince Cheng, Li Chengshun, was accused of corruption. It was said that Li Chengshun had been confined to his palace and ordered to cooperate with the investigation and not to leave.
Those who came to cause trouble disappeared completely in an instant.
Xie Wanyun was surprised. How could it be such a coincidence? Li Chengshun had just come to her for trouble, and he was already under investigation for corruption. Speaking of these royal relatives, who among them, as long as they had a legitimate job, wouldn't be corrupt? It's just that some are more cautious, while others are more blatant.
These matters were all tacitly understood, and the emperor turned a blind eye. As long as it was not too excessive, he would generally not ask about it.
