After confirming their relationship, Yun Chang followed Xu Changle back to the main house. She first summoned A-Jun and asked him to arrange for someone to go to Xiabei Town to find An Nanyang and tell him about what had happened there and that she and Xu Changle were getting engaged.
Just as Ah Jun was about to leave, Yun Chang asked him to send a message to the capital, instructing them to investigate the Xu family's affairs as soon as possible, as he would be returning to the capital to deal with them in a while.
Now that he has accepted Xu Changle as his fiancée, he really has to support her, resolve the Xu family's affairs, and let the Xu family return to their former place of residence. This place will be where he and Xu Changle will live out their retirement.
He also understood the Xu clan members; they genuinely didn't want to live in these mountains, and they were ashamed to live there.
It must be said that what happened to the Xu family thirty years ago is a heavy moral shackle in the hearts of every member of the Xu family.
Xu Changhuan had just instructed his men to find out the results of the information she had asked him to investigate and send it back as soon as possible.
The last time Li Mai asked her to have someone investigate, it was about whether her cousin and uncle had mistresses.
She hasn't sent any news back yet.
In addition, she also had people investigate her father's whereabouts. With the capabilities of the Seven Star Tower, they had never been able to find any information about her father before. Xu Changhuan was reminded by what those people said that she might have been investigating in the wrong direction before. Perhaps her father was really being imprisoned and his fate was unknown.
After both of their men left, Yun Chang followed her into her room and asked, "What is the background of your men?"
He felt that they were somewhat like people from the martial arts world.
Xu Changle said, "The Seven Star Tower was passed down to me by my grandmaster before he passed away. Now I can be considered the master of the Seven Star Tower!"
Her father was unwilling to take over the Seven Star Tower, so she was the only one who could inherit it.
Yun Chang was sincere to her, telling her everything about him, so naturally she wouldn't hide anything about herself from him.
She believed that, given the men who had just appeared, if he wanted to investigate her, she wouldn't be able to keep any secrets from him.
Yun Chang raised an eyebrow. The Seven Star Tower was actually hers?
The Seven Star Tower is famous in the martial arts world for its information gathering and trading. It is said that they can collect information from any country as long as someone pays for it.
But it is said that the people of Qixinglou are also very skilled in martial arts, and some people even say that Qixinglou also does assassin business. As long as you can afford it, they will help you kill your enemies.
However, because their prices are too high, no one has ever been heard of hiring them to kill someone.
If she were the original poster, Yun Chang felt that the rumor might really just be a rumor.
Xu Changhuan is clearly a righteous person; she wouldn't be suited for the assassin business.
"Do you need me to send someone to investigate your father's affairs as well?" Yun Chang asked.
Xu Changle thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, then I'll trouble you. The more people there are, the faster we'll find it. Five years ago, after my sister married An Nanyang, my father passed the position of chieftain to me and handed over the clan affairs to me. He then went on a journey, saying he was going to investigate the truth about the Xu family back then. However, since he left, there has been no news of him."
"What Xu Changqing and the others said today reminded me that maybe I've been investigating in the wrong direction these past few years. I'm worried that my father has been controlled by some people, and now they want to take action against our Xu family's main branch. My father's fate is unknown, or he may already be gone. To them, he's worthless." Her voice trembled slightly as she said these words.
Just imagining that possibility filled her with fear.
Yun Chang nodded. "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to investigate. Tell me about your father's characteristics and who he was with when he left."
Xu Changhuan thought for a moment and then explained it to him in detail.
After the two finished discussing their matters, when they went to the east courtyard to see Li Mai and Zhou Quan, they found the two of them sitting in the courtyard playing chess.
Upon seeing the two of them arrive, Li Mai and Zhou Quan smiled.
Seeing their smiles, Yun Chang immediately understood that these two people must have used their spiritual power to hear what was happening at the incense shop.
So, they probably already know about his relationship with Xu Changhuan.
Therefore, after he sat down, he said to Li Mai and Zhou Quan frankly, "Xu Changhuan and I have decided to get engaged. Xiaomai, from now on, you will have a sister-in-law."
Li Mai raised an eyebrow at him, then looked at Xu Changhuan, whose face was now flushed, and asked with a smile, "Big brother, are you sincere towards Huanhuan? I rarely have a friend I can get along with, and I don't want to lose a good friend because of you."
"Don't worry, I mean it when I say it. You know my identity. I don't have much time for romance. Huanhuan has her own responsibilities and things to do. She's not the kind of girl who needs me by her side all the time. I think she's the most suitable person to be my wife."
After Yun Chang finished speaking, she smiled at Xu Changhuan.
Xu Changhuan blushed again at his smile. She thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed true. They both had their own things to do and didn't have much time to spend with each other, so it was quite suitable.
Li Mai glanced at the two of them and nodded with a smile, "That's true, every family has its own way of living. Congratulations to you, elder brother and sister-in-law."
"Thank you, Xiaomai. Some things happened in Xiangfang today. Young Master Xu and I need to deal with the Xu family's affairs first. We can talk about our matter after we've dealt with those things," Xu Changhuan said apologetically to Li Mai.
Li Mai smiled and nodded, "It's alright, you two take care of the clan's affairs first. If there's anything we can do to help, just let us know."
"Okay, thank you. I'll come and discuss it with you once I receive the information you asked me to investigate." Xu Changhuan nodded to Li Mai and hurried back to her courtyard, where she still had matters to discuss with the stewards.
After she left, Yun Chang sat down at the table again, looked at the chess game between the two of them, and sighed, "I never imagined yesterday that I would have a fiancée today."
Li Mai and Zhou Quan exchanged a glance, their shoulders trembled, and they laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Yun Chang looked at the couple speechlessly.
"Why didn't you tell her that you're the Cloud King, brother?" Li Mai asked in a low voice with a smile.
Yun Chang shook her head. "The fact that I'm a great general has already made her feel unworthy of me. If I were to reveal the title of prince, do you think she would be able to sleep tonight?"
Li Mai chuckled and nodded, "That's true. However, An Nanyang knows your identity. I estimate he will tell Xu Changle. As for whether Xu Changle will tell Xu Changhuan, I don't know."
"Don't worry, I'll tell her when we get engaged. Once things are settled here, I'll take her back to the capital, and she'll know everything then," Yun Chang said.
Li Mai nodded, then she was relieved.
