Chapter 48: The Truth Revealed (1)

What happened to Zhu Ling?

Seeing Jiang Hanfeng's attitude, Shen Yingxue wondered if Zhu Ling had offended him. These two people had almost no intersection at all, what was going on?

Zhu Ling was also confused, but he was a carefree person who spoke without restraint and never took other people's offenses to heart, so he was slow to perceive malicious intent.

"Have you heard of my name?" Zhu Ling still looked proud. "Since you know Ling Yun, I will not care about your rudeness. Move aside."

Zhu Ling squeezed past Jiang Hanfeng and came to Shen Yingxue's side, "You haven't told me yet, where do you live? If you don't have a good life there, why don't you stay at my house for a few days? There are only my father and I in our house, it feels so empty, my father often says..."

Jiang Hanfeng pushed him to the back, took Shen Yingxue's hand and walked away, "Ignore him."

Shen Yingxue walked two steps with him, turned around to look at Zhu Ling, and found that he was not angry at all, and the cotton candy on his head was drooping. Seeing Shen Yingxue turning around, he wanted to catch up, but the servants behind him said a few words to him, and Zhu Ling stood there without moving.

"Ling Yun." Jiang Hanfeng said, "Do you still remember him?"

Shen Yingxue looked at the cat head, then at Jiang Hanfeng, and suddenly remembered.

This person seemed to think that he and Prince Zhongxin were having an ambiguous relationship. Zhu Ling was Prince Zhongxin's son. Could it be that he was worried that he would become Zhu Ling's stepmother?

"It's not like that, I didn't..." Shen Yingxue felt that she should explain. This matter could not be kept secret. He chose the version that the flower owner was Shen Yingxue's brother-in-law. In a few days, King Zhongxin might reveal his identity, and Jiang Hanfeng would know that Ling Yun was Shen Yingxue.

"I know everything. You don't need to say more." Jiang Hanfeng held his hand naturally. "It's not convenient to talk too much outside. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get back."

"oh."

Shen Yingxue followed them back to the inn in a daze.

Lan Jin took out the snacks and placed them in front of Shen Yingxue. Jiang Hanfeng winked at Lan Jin. They saw that Shen Yingxue seemed to have forgotten what happened before and was concentrating on eating, so they quietly left.

Lan Jin asked, "What do you want to say?"

"You should be very clear about Ling Yun's past." Those things in the past are hard to laugh at for anyone. Jiang Hanfeng felt that it would be too cruel to talk about that with Ling Yun.

"Of course I know." Lan Jin looked at Jiang Hanfeng with displeasure, but her master tacitly accepted his closeness and was willing to play with him. Lan Jin couldn't tell what he felt, and said in a sharp tone with a sense of superiority: "I watched Ling Yun grow up, even if I haven't seen him for a few years, I know his actions."

At that time, Shen Yingxue was the light in Lan Jin's heart.

He recalled what Shen Yingxue looked like when she was young, and his expression softened, with that cold and charming look dissipating a lot.

Jiang Hanfeng knew that he was Hua Zhu's confidant, and might be older than Ling Yun, like Ling Yun's elder.

He originally wanted to ask Lan Jin about King Zhongxin, but seeing his current state, Jiang Hanfeng had many more doubts: "You also know that Ling Yun was being hunted by the imperial court?"

"What?" Lan Jin had never heard of this before. "When did it happen?"

"Seventeen years ago." Jiang Hanfeng said.

Seventeen years ago, Shen Yingxue was only nine years old and had not yet formed the Dark Department. Lan Jin was still studying medicine in Shattered Shadow Mountain.

He thought back to that time, maybe the Demon Cult sent Shen Yingxue to go out on a mission, and she offended someone from the imperial court, so she was hunted down. It wasn't a big deal.

Jiang Hanfeng said, "If Ling Yun is really the Flower Lord's son, why did the Flower Lord just sit there and do nothing about him? He was in a dangerous situation that day and almost lost his life."

"Because that's how the Flower Lord became stronger." Lan Jin said, "Ling Yun is the Flower Lord's son, so he naturally can't be a coward. The Flower Lord nurtured him like this for his own good. Are you feeling sorry for Ling Yun?"

Jiang Hanfeng didn't expect this to be the answer. He couldn't imagine that the pampered Hua Zhu grew up like this, wandering the world alone at such a young age and experiencing all the intrigues and deceptions.

"Yes." Jiang Hanfeng said, "If it's just for training, then it's fine. Why should Ling Yun put aside his dignity and devote himself to the father and son of King Zhongxin?"

The Zhu Ling whom I just met was the other person who made Ling Yun crazy!

In the past, Jiang Hanfeng had no idea what Huazhu’s attitude towards Ling Yun was. After hearing Lan Jin’s words, Jiang Hanfeng seemed to understand.

It is because Hua Zhu grew up like this that he chose to let Ling Yun live alone when educating him. He cares about his son, but he doesn't know how to express it, so he can only give Ling Yun what he thinks is best.

When Hua Zhu was training outside, perhaps more than 20 years ago, there were no fewer influential figures in the martial arts world than there are now, and there were even many evil sects. Not to mention the demon sect, there were also scattered gangs that specialized in kidnapping children, casino owners, and brothel owners. Behind these places, there were huge forces, and they were complicated and no one dared to mess with them.

Huazhu was even more miserable than Lingyun when she was a child.

So when he saw Ling Yun's frustration and sadness, he just felt incomprehensible and used his own ideas to force Ling Yun. After discovering that Ling Yun was driven crazy by him, Hua Zhu felt that Ling Yun was too weak and unworthy of being his son, and was filled with deep regret. However, no matter how much he tried to make up for it, no one taught him how to be a good father.

So he sent Zhu Chengyu away and stopped forcing him. He believed that he had no rights as a father and was unwilling to recognize Zhu Chengyu.

Lan Jin was silent.

Jiang Hanfeng's words are really hard to answer. When will the master have enough fun? Tell Jiang Hanfeng the truth as soon as possible.

The ones who are embarrassed now are not Jiang Hanfeng, but those who are forced to act opposite Jiang Hanfeng.

"Since you watched Ling Yun grow up, you must have feelings for him. If you care about him, don't let him come into contact with the people in Zhongxin Palace." Jiang Hanfeng said, "Ling Yun should not be hurt again and again. He is already covered with wounds. Why drag him into the power struggle?"

Lan Jin: “You are right.”

Jiang Hanfeng said, "Mr. Cat has gone back to see the Flower Master. I wonder if the Flower Master left any message? Did he give me any instructions on what to do?"

"No." Lan Jin said, "Just wait and see what happens."

Jiang Hanfeng nodded, and seeing that Lan Jin wanted to go to Ling Yun's room, he advised him to go back and do his own thing, and then he went in to be alone with Ling Yun.

"Is it delicious?" Jiang Hanfeng watched Shen Yingxue eat slowly, bit by bit, with great care, not wanting to waste even the crumbs that fell from the snack.

"It's delicious." Shen Yingxue said, "You eat it too."

Shen Yingxue gave him a piece of rose cake.

Jiang Hanfeng ate the food in silence. Seeing Shen Yingxue's pure happiness, he envied him a little, but also felt sorry for him.

He no longer remembers what he had experienced, but those things can never be erased. They will entangle him deeply like vines and take root in his heart.

"Lingyun, after we are settled, I will take you away from Zanhua Lane, okay?" Jiang Hanfeng said, "We will hide our identities and not let anyone know our identities. We will secretly look for martial arts secrets in the world to cure your illness and come back to cure your father."

"Do you want to retire from the martial arts world?" Shen Yingxue thought about it and was actually a little reluctant. If he could really find the secret book and cure his illness and straighten out his internal strength as Jiang Hanfeng said, then he would be a rare master in the world. It would be a pity to just leave the martial arts world and live like an ordinary person.

"It's too early to talk about this now. After we resolve the current situation, if you still remember, I will discuss it with you."

They stayed in the inn for four days and returned only when the smell had almost disappeared.

Shen Yingxue took a carriage back to Zanhua Lane, and was sent to Ling Yun's yard by Jiang Hanfeng and Lan Jin, and then Jiang Hanfeng left.

He called out to Lan Jin and hurried through the secret passage. It was too late to disguise himself now, so he could only change his clothes and cover his face with a hat.

Unexpectedly, after coming here, he met Xun Yan whose face was covered with the flower master's disguise. In Shen Yingxue's eyes, this face was exactly his own face, with a large red butterfly pattern covering the left cheek. Xun Yan had an intimidating aura and an expressionless look, which was very intimidating. Coupled with such a face, Shen Yingxue felt it was a bit weird. She was startled and took a half step back.

Lan Jin supported him: "Master?"

Xun Yan, who had disguised himself as the Flower Lord, lowered his head and said, "Sir, the situation is urgent. I was afraid of being discovered, so I took the initiative to put on the disguise."

"Ah... it's good, I just don't feel used to it." Shen Yingxue looked at Lan Jin: "Should we go back?"

Lan Jin said: "Why not take this opportunity to arrange a meeting between Ling Yun and the Flower Master, so as to confirm your identity."

"Okay."

Xun Yan has always been by his side and knows the relationships between these people better than Shen Yingxue herself, so he can be trusted.

Lan Jin coaxed Shen Yingxue to go to the back, brought him some fruit and tea, and even found the token, just like coaxing a child.

Shen Yingxue was holding the game console, feeling confused. He didn't show anything wrong, right? Why was Lan Jin so cautious?

Lan Jin said, "They don't know there is a secret passage, so we'll go there later. You must have been frightened when you went out, I'll take your pulse and adjust the prescription."

Shen Yingxue stretched out her hand and let Lan Jin manipulate it.

After Lan Jin took the pulse, he found a piece of paper and pen and wrote down the prescription on the paper, increasing and decreasing the dosage compared to the previous one. He asked casually, "Are you afraid of the disguise on Lord Xun Yan's face?"

Shen Yingxue thought about how she felt at the time and said, "Yes, a little."

"Why?" Lan Jin was puzzled. He remembered that Shen Yingxue said that she always saw hallucinations. "Could it be that in your eyes, Lord Xun Yan's disguise is very frightening?"

Shen Yingxue shook her head. "That face is exactly the same as the one I saw in the mirror. It's my own face, but with a red butterfly. It's a big butterfly that almost covers the entire left side of my face."

Shen Yingxue thought that kind of fear was quite normal. Anyone who had been an only child for more than 20 years would be scared if he suddenly met someone who looked exactly like him in his own home.

Lan Jin saw that he was distracted again and thought that he should always observe his master's reaction when he went outside.

He had a hunch that Shen Yingxue might be self-loathing, and his madness was most likely caused by this.

Shen Yingxue hadn't seen his first wife for a few days. After playing the game for a while, he saw Cathead approaching him cautiously and said to him, "Master, we can go over now."

"Oh." Shen Yingxue put away the game console, thought about it, took it out again, and put it on the table. After he made this move, he obviously felt Lan Jin breathe a sigh of relief, and then followed Lan Jin out from the back.

Lan Jin led him to Huazhu's room through the main entrance. After knocking on the door, he heard Xun Yan's voice pretending to be Huazhu's: "Who?"

Lan Jin said: "Master, it's me and the eldest master."

Xun Yan was silent for a long time, and no one dared to breathe in the room. If Shen Yingxue had not seen the figure inside through the window, she would have thought that there was no one inside.

After a while, Jiang Hanfeng said, "Since Ling Yun is here, why don't you go meet him?"

Zhu Chengyu also said, "Dad, let him in. My brother is very well behaved and he has been thinking about you."

Shen Yingxue didn't feel anything when she chatted with Zhu Chengyu before, but when she heard him say this through the door and window, she felt as if she was in another world.

As long as he wasn't in front of Zhu Chengyu, the person Zhu Chengyu was talking about had nothing to do with him.

The room was quiet for a while, and Xun Yan said, "Come in."

Lan Jin pushed open the door, came over and pressed a few acupuncture points on Shen Yingxue, and said to him, "Haven't you always wanted to see your father? Now he agrees to see you, come with me."

Shen Yingxue knew that he was reminding himself not to lose his mind at a critical moment. He followed Lan Jin into his room and was actually a little nervous.

Shen Yingxue's concept of time was not very good, and he had no idea how long he had been away. When he stepped into the room again, he felt it was a bit strange, but when he looked carefully, everything seemed familiar.

Xun Yan was dressed in black, with a fair face with gorgeous red lines on it. He was half lying on the beauty couch by the window, with Han Jing, who was dressed in women's clothes, sitting obediently next to him. Next to him was Zhu Chengyu, who looked like a little angel with white hair.

Jiang Hanfeng was some distance away. When he saw Shen Yingxue coming, her burning gaze fell on him, filled with worry and relief.

Lan Jin saw Shen Yingxue was in a daze again and called him, "Young Master."

When Shen Yingxue came back to her senses, she saw that Xun Yan was still the same as before, with his head down and hiding his face, but his posture at this moment looked like he was thinking with his head down, very serious, and the atmosphere became depressing.

Jiang Hanfeng waved to Shen Yingxue, "Lingyun, come and sit next to me."

Lan Jin helped him over, then stood behind Xun Yan, "Master."

Xun Yan didn't say anything.

The atmosphere in the room was extremely solemn, and only Jiang Hanfeng seemed out of place.

He picked up an orange from the table, peeled it, tore off the string, broke off a segment, and stuffed it into Shen Yingxue's mouth. Seeing Shen Yingxue turn her head to look at him, Jiang Hanfeng touched his head and held his hand, "Don't be afraid."

Xun Yan snorted coldly, "You are so affectionate in front of me."

Jiang Hanfeng understands Ling Yun's fear of his father very well. The Flower Master has trained him for so many years and would not let him go home. She would not lend a hand when he was begging, and she disappeared when he was in a life-and-death situation. Ling Yun probably always wanted to perform well and win his father's attention, but the Flower Master was always dissatisfied with him and finally drove him crazy.

His admiration, longing for and fear of his father were probably ingrained in his bones.

Ling Yun was not a willful child. He could not act coquettishly in front of the flower owner like Zhu Chengyu did. If the flower owner didn't want to see him, he would stay quietly in his own yard, waiting for the flower owner to come alone.

There are too many misunderstandings between this father and son.

Shen Yingxue ate a slice of orange and found it tasted good. Under the mosaic of the system, it actually tasted like jelly candy. He was just playing a madman at the moment, with not many roles and no requirements. Shen Yingxue stretched her head and looked eagerly at the round mosaic in Jiang Hanfeng's hand, "I want more."

Jiang Hanfeng saw Shen Yingxue open his mouth and fed him another petal.

"You are Ling Yun's father, so I naturally respect you. As the saying goes, a son should not speak of his father's faults. I shouldn't have talked about your faults. What I said last time was rude." Jiang Hanfeng gave Shen Yingxue another petal.

He was certain of his feelings for Shen Yingxue and made up his mind to distance himself from Hua Zhu. When he saw Hua Zhu again today, he really didn't feel moved at all. Jiang Hanfeng also felt more confident when talking to him.

"Ling Yun is not only your son, but also the one I hold dear to my heart. You care about him, and I care about him as well." Jiang Hanfeng looked at Ling Yun, who was like a child. "Ling Yun has become like this now. Have you never reflected on your mistakes at all?"

Xun Yan can play the role of Shen Yingxue, but he really can't play the role of a crazy Shen Yingxue, let alone the role of Hua Zhu played by a crazy Shen Yingxue.

Even if he stayed with Shen Yingxue all the time, it was difficult to guess Hua Zhu's reaction.

Sometimes what Shen Yingxue says is indeed unexpected.

He often just brushes aside the things that others think he cares about, but he often pursues the things that others think he doesn't care about.

Even if he was crazy, Shen Yingxue still had accurate intuition and judgment. The situation he set up was so good that Xun Yan was ashamed of himself. He never shot without a purpose. If Xun Yan had done it, he would probably have missed a lot of information.

The current situation, seemingly just some private affairs between parents and children, is actually related to the identities of Hua Zhu and Ling Yun, and also to the life and death of the entire Zanhua Lane.

Once what happened today gets out, not only Zanhua Lane but also Prince Zhongxin’s Palace will be in chaos.

Xun Yan was in a dilemma. He didn't dare to play the role of the flower owner without permission, but if he didn't play the role of the flower owner, Jiang Hanfeng and others would definitely become suspicious.

Too many things have happened recently, none of them are trivial. They have been away for so long, so naturally they should come to Huazhu to report.

Xun Yan looked at Jiang Hanfeng coldly, guessing the meaning of his words several times, observing Shen Yingxue's expression, and occasionally making eye contact with Lan Jin. Finally, he said concisely: "Tell me."

Jiang Hanfeng told all his speculations.

Shen Yingxue stopped eating the orange and looked at the man in shock.

What Jiang Hanfeng said was absurd, but it was indeed reasonable... Shen Yingxue doubted herself for a moment. She knew that she and Jiang Hanfeng had met when they were children, but she actually forgot to include this incident in the script. Was this also a mosaic of the system?

Wandering around like a beggar, being hunted down and murdered all day long, is there really anyone's childhood like this?

The original owner must have been sent out by the Demon Cult to carry out a mission and temper his character at the same time. That's why he became like this. He will go back to be his young master in a few days. How could he be so miserable from childhood to adulthood?

No wonder Jiang Hanfeng felt sorry for Ling Yun. He added too many scripts.

Shen Yingxue felt that this feeling was a little familiar. When she thought about it carefully, it was just like buying a game and then the official kept releasing game expansion packs.

The stuff in his game console hasn't been updated for a long time, but Jiang Hanfeng is still updating it non-stop. It makes him very sad just thinking about it.

Shen Yingxue glanced at Xun Yan, but after seeing that face, she still felt something was strange, so she quickly looked away and looked at Zhu Chengyu.

Zhu Chengyu was very sensitive to his gaze and immediately smiled at him, then asked with concern: "Brother, is what he said true?"

Shen Yingxue didn't know how to answer.

It's true, but not completely true.

"Ling Yun probably doesn't remember." Jiang Hanfeng held his hand tightly, "He has forgotten all the sad things. He has never hated you, so why do you have to force him? He doesn't like people from the court. If you want to form an alliance with the court, you don't necessarily have to use Ling Yun as bait."

Xun Yan looked at him silently.

Jiang Hanfeng said, "If you still have any father-son feelings for him, let him go. I am willing to take him away from here, away from these disputes, and keep his life safe."

"What guarantee do you have?" Xun Yan sneered. He was the only one who knew how difficult it was when he was hiding from place to place with Shen Yingxue. Jiang Hanfeng, a pampered young master, could actually say such a thing. Xun Yan didn't believe it at all.

"Take my life." Jiang Hanfeng said, "Unless I die, no one can hurt Ling Yun."

Shen Yingxue: “…”

Shen Yingxue could hardly listen any more. What did they say? Didn't Jiang Hanfeng say that he would take him away after he had dealt with the matter at hand? So the matter at hand was to move back to Zanhua Lane from the inn?

Shen Yingxue organized her words: "I..."

He had just uttered one syllable when everyone in the room looked at him.

"I don't want to leave." Shen Yingxue looked at Jiang Hanfeng, "You know nothing. I don't want to leave Zanhua Lane."

"Ling Yun?"

"I'm not Ling Yun." Shen Yingxue said.

He originally wanted to let Prince Zhongxin announce the matter, so that it would appear that he and Hua Zhu were both innocent. If Jiang Hanfeng felt that he was deceived, he would not be able to blame them. Now he has changed his mind.

"What are you talking about? If you are not Ling Yun, who else could you be?"

Shen Yingxue looked at him steadily, "Who do you think I am?"

Jiang Hanfeng's heart skipped a beat. "Whoever you say it is, it is whoever it is. I believe you."

Shen Yingxue was full of questions.

"I won't say anymore. Did you come here this time to see your father? Do you want us to go out and talk to your father alone?" Jiang Hanfeng restrained the sharpness when he questioned Hua Zhu, and obeyed Shen Yingxue completely.

Shen Yingxue had more questions in her mind.

This trend is totally different from what I imagined!

After Jiang Hanfeng finished speaking, he winked at the others, bowed to Xun Yan, and left first. Before leaving, he smiled soothingly at Shen Yingxue.

Han Jing and Lan Jin were eager to end this awkward conversation as soon as possible, so they pulled Zhu Chengyu out and found another excuse to slip away.

The only people left in the room were the confused Shen Yingxue and Xun Yan who was pretending to be the flower owner.

Xun Yan got up from the couch and made room for Shen Yingxue.

After Shen Yingxue sat down, she saw him cover his face with his hands, as if he realized that Shen Yingxue was a little afraid of this face.

"We can't delay any longer." Shen Yingxue said, "Immediately find Prince Zhongxin and tell him that I agree to make public his relationship with Ling Yun and allow him to visit Ling Yun, but I will never let Ling Yun go back."

"yes."

Xun Yan disguised Shen Yingxue, helped him change his clothes, and then went to deliver a message to Prince Zhongxin's Palace.

Shen Yingxue slept soundly, and started playing games after waking up. He knew what was going on outside, but he was just a talker, and the specific implementation depended on the people below.

Many people were killed in Zanhua Lane this time, and the motive for the murder must be released. However, if we look closely, the Yan family and the Sun family who avenged Wan Baogui are not wrong.

But the bad things Wan Baogui did were real, and no one cared about him. Is this world unjust?

Shen Yingxue pondered philosophy for a while and continued playing games.

Two days later, Lan Jin came over to talk about the direction of public opinion.

Because no one knew that the battle at Qingyu Palace was actually very easy, and they also had Zhu Chengyu on their side, so they had sufficient reasons to seek revenge on Qingyu Palace, and the image of Zanhua Lane was surprisingly positive.

After fighting with Qingyu Palace, they fought with the Yan Family and the Sun Family. Outsiders didn't know that Xun Yan and his men were trapped in Qingyu Palace and were in a very dangerous situation. They only saw that all the people who surrounded them were dead, while Zanhua Lane was unscathed. For a while, Zanhua Lane was the most popular, and their strength was blown to a whole new level.

"How could this happen..." Shen Yingxue found it unbelievable, "Didn't anyone curse Zanhuaxiang?"

Lan Jin smiled and said, "Yes, there are, but most of them curse behind our backs. They have seen the strength of Zanhua Lane and are eager to make friends with us, so they dare not offend us at all."

That's true. Even during the Warring States Period, when it was clear that the six countries could defeat Qin if they united, there were still some short-sighted people who chose to rely on the strong.

Fortunately, Shen Yingxue did not intend to follow King Zhongxin's plan completely, otherwise those gangs that were on good terms with Zanhua Lane would have been cleared out one by one in the end.

Shen Yingxue said: "If that's the case, then we should manage our relationship with them well. We must not let it go on like before..."

"yes."

After Lan Jin left, Xun Yan came over and said, "King Zhongxin agreed, but he said that the current situation is unclear, and at most only the people in Zanhua Lane can know about it, and it must not be revealed to the outside world, and people must not guess Ling Yun's true identity."

Shen Yingxue nodded. "What else did he say?"

"The prince is very busy and doesn't have the time to come visit Ling Yun in person. He will send Zhu Rang and Zhu Ling to visit. Please take care of them."

Shen Yingxue said: "In this case, you will have to dress up as the flower owner often."

Shen Yingxue felt that she was wasting her talent. Xun Yan was a man who could do great things, but she could only be his stand-in. But apart from him, there was no one else who looked so similar to him, and even if there was, she couldn't act like him.

"Still no clues about the secret manual?" Shen Yingxue had not been so worried before, but as things became more complicated, he realized that there was less and less he could do, and he began to feel a little anxious.

The environment can indeed change a person's character. Thinking back to my past self, I didn't have an overly strong curiosity at all. I just went with the flow, lived from day to day, and never forced anything.

Shen Yingxue felt that he should have made progress. The lazy salted fish gradually became ambitious. Thinking carefully, he realized that the reason for his progress, in addition to his longevity, was actually games, novels, online forums, and the power struggles in the underworld.

Xun Yan said, "I am incompetent. I have never heard of such secret books. I have collected quite a few ordinary secret books. Lan Jin is afraid that it will harm your body after practicing, so he dare not give them to you. I am considering them one by one."

Shen Yingxue lay with her upper body on the table, holding the teacup in both hands.

Xun Yan said, "There is one more thing... Because our people are searching for the secret manual, there are rumors outside that the Hairpin Flower Alley is looking for the skills you practiced in the past."

"The martial arts I practice are very rare?"

"It's not hard to find. You practiced hard in the past, regardless of wind or rain. After you achieved some success, you created your own sword moves and light skills, and slightly adjusted the internal skills you practiced before. This should be what they are referring to. Those people are flocking to your practice because you are very skilled in martial arts and have a great reputation. Anyone who has heard of you will be attracted by you."

"Then let them misunderstand each other. It will save a lot of trouble."

Ever since Jiang Hanfeng offended the Flower Master that day, he hasn't seen Ling Yun for five days.

Ling Yun's yard was empty and Hua Zhu refused to see him, so he could only practice swordplay to calm himself.

Not long after, Zhu Chengyu suddenly came to see him.

Zhu Chengyu used to learn to read and study with Han Jing. If Lan Jin was free, he would also go to learn medicine and rarely ran around. But today he came over, and his face was dazed, as if he had suffered a great blow.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Hanfeng put away his sword and asked.

"Zhu Ling from Prince Zhongxin's Palace came over. He went to see my father. I was there too and listened to their conversation for a while." Zhu Chengyu said.

Jiang Hanfeng frowned, "What did they say?"

"They said..." Zhu Chengyu showed some blindness, tilted his head slightly, stretched out his hand and touched the table, then sat on the chair beside it, "They said that Brother Lingyun is Zhu Ling's biological brother."

Jiang Hanfeng never thought that Zhu Chengyu would say such a thing.

He had already determined in his heart that Ling Yun was bullied by the two people from Prince Zhongxin's Palace, and Zhu Rang was still watching covetously from the side, most likely following the orders of Prince Zhongxin to humiliate Ling Yun.

But Zhu Chengyu said that Ling Yun is Zhu Ling’s biological brother?

Jiang Hanfeng was silent.

Zhu Chengyu said: "They also said that Brother Lingyun is not Daddy's biological son, but King Zhongxin is his biological father."

Jiang Hanfeng said angrily: "You are worse than beasts!"

Even his own flesh and blood are not spared!

"No, it's not like that. What we thought before was wrong." Because the wrong information was delivered by Zhu Chengyu, but his sense of morality was low and he didn't feel guilty. He came to find Jiang Hanfeng just to vent his anger and share his shock and embarrassment.

After Zhu Chengyu came to that conclusion, he only told Jiang Hanfeng about it. Thinking about it this way, he just felt embarrassed. From other people's perspectives, he had never expressed his own views.

Jiang Hanfeng is different.

When Zhu Chengyu thought about his love with Ling Yun, he felt much less embarrassed.

He felt it was a pity that he couldn't see, otherwise he would have been able to appreciate Jiang Hanfeng's expression.

Zhu Chengyu said: "King Zhongxin and Lingyun are innocent... Have you forgotten? The reason why I said that there is something unclear between them is because King Zhongxin showed too much concern for Lingyun. If they are father and son, everything can be explained."

Jiang Hanfeng's emotions were suddenly interrupted, and he quickly sorted out his thoughts: "So that's how it is... So, it's great that Ling Yun wasn't bullied by those two guys."

Zhu Chengyu asked in a low voice: "What should we do?"

Jiang Hanfeng asked: "What should we do?"

Zhu Chengyu felt that Jiang Hanfeng was a little too calm: "Don't you have anything else to say?"

"I just want to see Ling Yun now, but the Flower Master is angry with me and hid Ling Yun." Jiang Hanfeng sighed, "No wonder the Flower Master is angry, the truth is like this, it's my fault for not finding it out and spreading it everywhere."

Jiang Hanfeng was truly happy for Ling Yun.

No wonder Huazhu insisted on letting Lingyun and King Zhongxin meet. They are biological father and son, so naturally they have to recognize each other.

Hua Zhu is not Ling Yun's biological father, so Ling Yun's wanderings before this have nothing to do with Hua Zhu. When Ling Yun was young, he was probably an orphan, and this was probably related to some royal secrets, which is why people from the court hunted him down.

There was just one thing that Jiang Hanfeng couldn't understand.

"You said... why is the Flower Master so similar to Ling Yun?" Jiang Hanfeng asked puzzled.

Zhu Chengyu is blind, but he can feel that his father and brother are very similar.

Especially when you are close to them, you can smell the same medicinal scent on them.

Their height and body shape should be similar.

If these two people are not father and son, is it just a coincidence?

Zhu Chengyu found that Jiang Hanfeng was not embarrassed, and he was the only one who was embarrassed. He felt a little angry, so he deliberately said, "It can't be that Daddy and Ling Yun are also brothers, right?"

"How is this possible?" Jiang Hanfeng said helplessly, "The age of Huazhu is not much different from that of Prince Zhongxin."

Zhu Chengyu suddenly remembered: "Dad might have been an official in the court."

Jiang Hanfeng: "Hmm?"

Zhu Chengyu said nonsense: "Do you think he could be the brother of King Zhongxin? Maybe Brother Lingyun is his nephew."

"It is indeed possible." Jiang Hanfeng replied.

Every failure makes one wiser. After experiencing this incident, Jiang Hanfeng finally realized how difficult it was for Hua Zhu because of his actions at that time. No wonder Ling Yun said that he knew nothing at that time.

He really knows nothing.

If there are new speculations in the future, Jiang Hanfeng will not act so impulsively. He is not clear about Hua Zhu's plan, nor does he understand the deeper meaning behind the alliance between Hua Zhu and King Zhongxin, so it is better not to cause trouble for him.

As for the flower master's attitude towards his trusted people...

Jiang Hanfeng remembered the judgment he made when he first met Hua Zhu: Hua Zhu was a man who valued friendship and loyalty, and that was enough.

He would not do anything to hurt people around him.

Zhu Chengyu came in covered in dirt and left in despair. He failed to make Jiang Hanfeng share his mental breakdown, but instead made himself even more depressed.

Jiang Hanfeng watched Zhu Chengyu leave, then went out to ask if the guest was still with Hua Zhu. Upon learning that Zhu Ling had gone to see Ling Yun, Jiang Hanfeng went to Hua Zhu.

He knocked on the door and went in only after the flower owner allowed him to come in.

Hua Zhu was lying on the couch as usual, but this time he was not holding the cult's token, but a book in his hand.

Today's flower owner still has no appeal to Jiang Hanfeng.

Jiang Hanfeng stood cautiously not far away and heard the flower owner call him, "Sit down."

Jiang Hanfeng sat down: "Zhu Chengyu told me what you just said to Zhu Ling. I came here to apologize to you."

The flower owner said, "Why apologize?"

Jiang Hanfeng said: "I misunderstood you and almost tried to sow discord between you and Ling Yun."

The flower owner said: "The past is the past."

Jiang Hanfeng said, "Zhu Chengyu told me today that you were an official in the court before? After this incident, I should be careful with my words and actions, but Ling Yun is especially important to me, and I really can't sit idly by when it comes to things related to him, so I came to you to confirm, so as to avoid making mistakes."

"Since you think so, you shouldn't ask too much." The flower owner put the book down heavily. "After all, you are not from Zanhua Lane, and neither is Lingyun. You will know it when you should know it. It's useless to say so much now, except to make me hate you."

Jiang Hanfeng said after hearing this: "In that case, I won't ask any more questions. I'm leaving now."

Xun Yan saw Jiang Hanfeng leaving and touched his forehead.

He rested his arms on his back, lost in thought.

When did Hua Zhu become an official?

Does the young master know that Zhu Chengyu and Jiang Hanfeng are scheming behind your back?

While Xun Yan was trying hard to deal with Jiang Hanfeng, Shen Yingxue was chatting with Zhu Ling.

Zhu Ling only felt that he looked familiar and wanted to make friends with him. Not long ago, his father suddenly called him over and told him that his brother who had died many years ago was still alive. His brother was Ling Yun.

Zhu Ling was surprised and delighted, so happy that he wanted to fly. Then he took on an important task and was sent by his father to meet Ling Yun.

Zhu Ling first visited Ling Yun's adoptive father, and was surprised to find that the uncle was the man who was good at fishing whom he had met before!

The man was very handsome. Zhu Ling couldn't tell where he was handsome, but he couldn't help looking at his face. He thought, this uncle was a friend of his father, and his adopted son was his biological brother, so they were a family.

Zhu Ling had no mother since childhood, and his father and cousin were too busy to have time.
