Lian Heng comforted her, "She doesn't know what we did, but she has already sensed it, so it's normal for her to be curious and inquisitive."
The middle-aged man was slightly taken aback, then let out a long sigh.
“I still feel guilty towards her. I didn’t take her with me back then, and she didn’t have a good life afterward.”
The man before us is also one of the managers of the Yu family. Although his relationship with Marquis Anle is not as close as that with Lian Heng, in any case, his family's lives were saved by Marquis Anle.
He once swore to be loyal to the Yu family forever. Even when the Yu family fell into ruin and only one person remained, he still stuck to his original idea.
The most regrettable thing over the years is that I was unable to take Su Wenyuan with me.
Marquis Anle only had one daughter, Yu Qingzhu, whom he doted on.
Yu Qingzhu left only Su Wenyuan behind, and they felt guilty for not being able to take good care of her.
During this period, his feelings for Su Wenyuan were also very complicated.
He would scold her angrily, feeling disappointed in her, for fear that she would disrupt the plan.
A moment later, he felt guilty and thought he owed her something.
Lian Heng said, "She doesn't know you, she's never even met you. She only heard my name from Su Yuan. We've been in the capital for a long time, and apart from sending someone to tell us she wanted to see the manager, she hasn't done anything else."
Before they entered the capital, they guessed that Su Wenyuan would try every means to find them.
But in the end, they only sent someone to deliver a message, and they made excuses that the shopkeeper was not there, so Su Wenyuan did not press the matter.
This attitude is baffling.
Nian Huaizhong said, "I think it's still necessary to see her. I want to go."
The middle-aged man stood up and said, "I'll go with you."
Lian Heng and Nian Huaizhong both tried to stop him, ultimately deciding to let Nian Huaizhong go and ask alone.
Su Wenyuan hadn't expected them to arrive so quickly; it was practically self-destruction.
Nian Huai came with the craftsmen who were building the ancestral hall, saying that there had been a problem there and they needed to report it.
Upon seeing the craftsman, Su Wenyuan immediately spotted Nian Huaizhong at the back of the crowd.
"Coming here so openly, aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
Su Wenyuan was really annoyed. Why couldn't these people just restrain themselves and hide their true colors?!
The Emperor hasn't had time to investigate yet. Once the matter of Sheng Ziyan and Sheng Zixi is resolved, the Emperor will definitely begin investigating them.
Let's hide it!
Nian Huai remained silent, gesturing for Su Wenyuan to send the others out first.
They're all in cahoots, that's true, but some things should be kept secret; letting everyone know will cause trouble.
Only the two of them remained in the room. Su Wenyuan looked at him with a sorrowful expression, as if she were looking at everyone behind him.
“When we entered the capital with great fanfare, we never intended to keep a low profile,” Nian Huai finally answered Su Wenyuan’s question.
They had no intention of hiding it; the bigger the commotion, the better.
Ideally, everyone should know in the end that they were avenging Marquis Anle.
"How many people?" Su Wenyuan asked, focusing on the key point.
Nianhuai shook his head, not wanting to talk.
Su Wenyuan asked again, "Is your father here too?"
Nian Huai did not deny this point, and at the same time, he also learned that Su Wenyuan had not investigated them.
"The most important issue is the imperial physicians in the palace..."
Nian Huai interrupted, saying, "You shouldn't have asked that question. It's best if you don't know."
He sincerely advised against involving Su Wenyuan.
Even if you think about it, you can't say it. If you don't say it, there will always be a layer of paper separating you from the truth.
Then she can confidently say, "I don't know."
Su Wenyuan felt her head throb even more and asked, "If you don't want me to know, then why did you come here? I don't know how many of you survived, but since you did, you should at least live a good life."
"Live a good life?" Nian Huai asked doubtfully. "Since you knew that, why did you insist on investigating in the first place? Knowing that the Emperor disliked you, you still kept provoking him, almost losing your life. What was the point?"
Su Wenyuan solemnly explained, "I am different. This matter cannot be explained clearly, and it also concerns my reputation. I certainly do not want my maternal grandfather to carry the crime of treason forever."
More importantly, this is something she owes someone; not everyone can be given a second chance at life.
She wouldn't feel comfortable using someone else's identity and money until this matter was resolved properly.
Nian Huaizhong replied just as seriously, "So are we."
Su Wenyuan said anxiously, "But now this matter has been explained clearly, and the Emperor has issued an edict that you are no longer guilty. The Emperor did not apologize, but only said that he misjudged, which I am not satisfied with. But he is not dead, so he will have a chance sooner or later."
Su Wenyuan wanted them to calm down and wait a little longer, as they were so anxious that they were resorting to unorthodox methods.
Taking it slow ensures a thorough plan and a safe retreat in the end.
Being in such a hurry might lead to total annihilation. The commotion they caused upon entering the capital, followed by their imprisonment, would be quite a spectacle. Su Wenyuan didn't even dare to imagine it.
Nian Huai's face showed displeasure, and his eyes held a hint of suspicion.
"You said it yourself, he's not dead. Shouldn't he have died?"
What they wanted was not just an imperial edict of self-reproach, or a sincere apology from the emperor.
These are all too abstract. The emperor, because of his own selfish desires, caused the deaths of so many people, and he should pay with his life.
Su Wenyuan was speechless. How could she refute him? She thought so too; the emperor should pay with his life.
With the same idea, how could she possibly persuade Nian Huaizhong?
Su Wenyuan simply didn't want them to do this. If she said that she also had this idea, they would become even more frantic and would never leave.
Her hesitation and indecision were immediately noticed by Nian Huaizhong, who couldn't understand what was so troubling about.
