The Wen family, in particular, had previously learned that Rong Sheng intended to use their eldest son to pressure the Emperor to release Prince Yi from prison. However, because their eldest son refused to see Rong Sheng, the matter was not completed. Now that they learned that Rong Sheng was Feng Sijin's daughter, the Wen family panicked.
Upon learning this, the eldest son of the Wen family shook his head helplessly: "It's too late to say those things now. Although we rejected Doctor Rong Sheng, we didn't make enemies with him, so you don't need to worry about anything! But my illness... I'll find some time to meet with Doctor Rong Sheng and hope he can take a look. Maybe he can cure my illness!"
“But our Wen family originally planned to emerge into the world, but now I’m afraid we won’t have that chance!” said the head of the Wen family.
"Young Master Wen, there's no way for us to emerge into the world, but we can find a way. The Emperor's attitude towards Prince Yi is very strange. We can try to contact Prince Yi. If Prince Yi agrees to let our Wen family emerge, then we will. If he doesn't agree, then we should preserve our strength and look for another opportunity! Don't emerge blindly, otherwise it will attract the attention of other aristocratic families and countries. Even if our Wen family is powerful, it will be devoured by them!"
"You child..." If the eldest young master hadn't been seriously ill, the head of the Wen family wouldn't have been so easy to talk to; you could tell just by looking at his furrowed brows.
Young Master Wen lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought, and didn't even notice his father's fierce expression.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye. During these five days, nothing else happened. Rong Sheng and his friends simply visited each other's homes, strolled around the streets, and took in the prosperity of the capital city, experiencing its cultural atmosphere.
But at that moment, news came from the Shadowless Pavilion that they would arrive in the capital the next day and send Lu Xuefan and the others to the Shadowless Pavilion's secret dungeon in the capital so that Lu Xuefan and the others could meet Lu Mian.
Gu Beiyi said directly, "Be careful!" and sent someone to secretly make contact, not allowing Lu Xuefan and the others to be rescued.
That evening, the steward came to report: "Your Highness, the eldest son of the Wen family has arrived!"
"The eldest son of the Wen family?" Gu Beiyi's gaze fell on Rong Sheng. Seeing Rong Sheng's calm and composed demeanor, he asked, "You approached the eldest son of the Wen family and asked him for help, didn't you?"
“But he was unwilling to get involved in this mess, so I didn’t go a second time!” Rong Sheng recalled the Wen family’s tough attitude that day and felt that the eldest son of the Wen family coming to the Prince Yi’s mansion was definitely not a good thing.
Gu Beiyi nodded and instructed the butler to escort the eldest son of the Wen family to the study; they would be there shortly.
Upon arriving at the study, Gu Beiyi and Rong Sheng exchanged a glance and then entered the study, seeing the eldest son of the Wen family sitting politely in his proper place without overstepping his bounds.
When the eldest son of the Wen family saw Gu Beiyi and Rong Sheng enter, he bowed to them very politely. There was nothing wrong with him at all. On the contrary, people thought that the eldest son of the Wen family was a harmless person.
After a brief exchange, Gu Beiyi asked directly, "Young Master Wen, the Wen family and the Prince Yi's residence have never had any dealings. What brings you to my residence today?"
The eldest son of the Wen family calmly said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, I have important matters to discuss with you two at the Prince Yi's residence. Please give me a chance!"
"Oh? Tell me about it!"
"It's like this, our Wen family is the last of the three great families, and has reached the point of being dispensable! But the Wen family is not satisfied with this result. However, my father is getting old. Although many of the direct descendants of the Wen family are quite capable, they are too ambitious and have never been content with mediocrity. Now they are even more restless. So I came to see Your Highness to discuss something with you!"
Gu Beiyi's dark eyes flickered. So, the eldest son of the Wen family has come to make amends? Why!
"I have no business dealings with the Wen family..." Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the eldest son of the Wen family: "I know that, but I have half of the Wen family's power in my hands. I want to exchange this with Your Highness, half of the Wen family to save the Wen family and prevent its destruction!"
Originally, the eldest son of the Wen family did not want to do this, but after Rong Sheng came to him, he had someone investigate Rong Sheng and Gu Beiyi. He found that Gu Beiyi was very well hidden. The Wen family had always had dealings with the remnants of the previous dynasty, but they kept a low profile and were rarely discovered.
Now, Prince Yi has set his sights on the remnants of the previous dynasty and has wiped out Wei Qicheng. All the remnants of the previous dynasty in Wei Qicheng have been captured and replaced by the Shadowless Tower. Soon, the Wen family will suffer the same fate as the remnants of the previous dynasty.
Especially after he learned that Lu Mian and Lu Xuefan had been captured by the Shadowless Pavilion and sent to the capital, and that Gu Beiyi had sent people to contact them, he knew that the powerful Shadowless Pavilion was built by Gu Beiyi himself. There might be people from the Shadowless Pavilion in their Wen family. If their Wen family really did something, it would definitely not be hidden from Prince Yi. At that time, their Wen family would directly face the fate of being destroyed and dying.
After much deliberation, the eldest son of the Wen family decided to approach Prince Yi, hoping that the prince would give them a chance. As for those disobedient members of the Wen family, he would deal with them secretly.
But the prerequisite is that Prince Yi will protect the Wen family.
Rong Sheng watched Gu Beiyi and the eldest son of the Wen family exchange blows with wide eyes. This was a true clash of masters! This eldest son of the Wen family was no ordinary man. Fortunately, she hadn't cooperated with him back then, or she might have been completely tricked by him.
"I agree to your request! But you must remember your words, otherwise I will not hesitate to clean up your family!" These words undoubtedly told the eldest son of the Wen family that he was fully aware of all the movements of the Wen family.
The eldest son of the Wen family was immediately terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly said, "Your Highness, rest assured, I will definitely keep my promise!"
"That would be perfect!" Gu Beiyi said casually.
The eldest son of the Wen family wiped the sweat from his face, steadied his breathing, and looked at Rong Sheng: "Your Highness, I am truly sorry about what happened last time. I didn't have much faith in Your Highness's medical skills before, so I refused Your Highness's request. But this time, I would like to ask Your Highness to treat my illness!"
Rong Sheng looked at Gu Beiyi, and seeing that Gu Beiyi nodded, she said, "I can treat the illness, but what benefits can this princess do for me?" She would not do something without benefit, and this person was different from ordinary people. If she didn't get something out of him, she would really be doing herself a disservice.
The eldest son of the Wen family knew that Rong Sheng was not so easily appeased, so he said, "Whatever the Princess wants, I will do my best to give it to her, as long as the Princess agrees to treat me!"
Rong Sheng scoffed, "Fine, you gave half of the Wen family to the Prince, then the other half can be given to me, the Princess Consort!"
"This..." This is too much of a burden for the eldest son of the Wen family. Even if he agrees, the family will not agree.
"What? You're reluctant?" Rong Sheng looked at the eldest son of the Wen family indifferently. She knew that she was joking and did not really want to take away half of the Wen family. However, seeing the eldest son of the Wen family like this, she wanted to tease him.
System: "Master, the Wen family made their fortune by running medical clinics and selling herbal medicines, and they have businesses in all four countries!"
