"I know you're not afraid of me, but are you afraid of the account book and the secret sentry?"

Wen Jingchi curled his lips in an unfathomable manner. Since everyone knew it, why bother hiding it?

Wen Chenxuan also knew very well what he was referring to. They didn't say it directly, but they all understood it tacitly.

His eyes were full of murderous intent. He glanced at Chu Weiyue and Wen Jingchi, then turned away angrily.

Watching his departing back, Chu Weiyue snorted with disdain.

Thinking of Wen Jingchi's protection of her just now, she immediately snuggled into his arms and rubbed against him.

The next morning, Wen Jingchi and others officially arrived in the capital. They first sent Chu Weiyue home, and then went to meet the emperor with Wen Chenxuan.

This time they went not just alone, but also brought along a secret sentry they had captured along the way.

When he came before the emperor, Wen Jingchi threw the sentry out.

Seeing the man's appearance, Wen Chenxuan's face darkened for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and looked as calm as the breeze.

The sentry knelt on the ground, trembling with fear.

"Your Majesty, please spare me. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered me to do all this. I didn't mean to kill the Ninth Prince. It was Wen Chenxuan's idea. Your Majesty, please spare me..."

By the end, he had reached the point of crying bitterly.

The emperor's expression changed instantly, but before he could question him, Wen Jingchi kicked the man on the shoulder.

"You are so bold that you dare to frame His Royal Highness. If His Royal Highness wanted me dead, how could he have gone to such great lengths to rescue me? Don't try to drive a wedge between us brothers."

Upon hearing this, the emperor showed a surprised smile.

"I really didn't expect that after such a big incident, you, my prince, could actually understand your brother."

What the emperor hated most was the infighting among the brothers. Just now he thought Wen Jingchi would throw the dirty water on Wen Chenxuan.

In fact, he had no idea whether Wen Chenxuan had done this or not. Since he dared to do it, he must have the ability to get away with it, otherwise they would not be princes.

Wen Jingchi bowed respectfully and said, "Father, this person actually dared to name Wen Chenxuan and say that he was the one who did it. He must have been instructed by someone to say that. If it was really my brother who did it, how could he be so stupid as to let this person know his identity.

He could have changed his identity without anyone noticing. Such a stupid act could never have been done by my brother."

Wen Jingchi's eyes were calm, yet there was a certain mysteriousness in them that others could not detect.

Wen Chenxuan's face was tense, as if he had been slapped several times, and his expression was so cold that water could be pinched out of it.

After a long while, he finally managed a smile.

"Thank you, Ninth Brother, for your trust in this article."

"Brother, since we are brothers, how could I not trust you? I also believe that you would never harm me. So I must thoroughly investigate this matter and clear your name."

"In that case, I would like to thank you for saving my brother."

Wen Chenxuan clasped his hands together and gave him a fake greeting. In front of the emperor, the two of them acted like brothers with deep affection.

The emperor was very pleased with what he saw and laughed out loud with his head thrown back.

Seeing that Wen Jingchi was safe and sound, he could finally put his mind at ease.

At the same time, Chu Weiyue also officially returned home.

Because I was exhausted from the long journey and didn’t sleep well last night, the first thing I did when I got home was to go to bed!

I slept until dusk and then opened my eyes drowsily.

A little girl came to her side and handed her a hot towel.

"Miss, please get up quickly. Everyone at home is waiting for you to have dinner. We haven't seen you for so long, and everyone in the mansion misses you very much."

This little girl has a sweet mouth, like honey.

Chu Weiyue snorted in dissatisfaction. Chu Ranxin and her mother probably wished she would never come back.

After getting dressed and washing up, I came to the main hall and found that my father and others were waiting, but my eldest brother was missing.

"Where did my eldest brother go?"

Chu Weiyue walked over and asked in confusion.

Song narrowed her eyes and walked over, grabbing Chu Weiyue's hand, but Chu Weiyue shook her off in disgust.

Song did not feel embarrassed, but continued to smile.

"Your eldest brother went to the east to escort a priceless treasure to the emperor. He will probably be back in a few days."

Chu Weiyue didn't ask any more questions. She just sat on the chair and ignored everyone else.

Chu Ranxin next to him immediately sneered: "Sister, how can you be so rude? Grandma is not here now, but Daddy is still here. Daddy didn't sit down yet, so how can you just sit down? Could it be that now that your status has changed, you don't even give Daddy face?"

She thought she had caught Chu Weiyue's weakness and could make use of it to her advantage.

Who would have thought that the marquis next to him just waved his hand nonchalantly.

"It's just a small matter, don't worry about it. Besides, your sister has been traveling a long way and hasn't had a good hot meal. You are really making a fuss. Please sit down. Anyway, this is a welcoming banquet for your sister."

The Marquis's eyes were filled with calmness and excitement as he took the initiative to pick up some food for Chu Weiyue.

"Daddy doesn't know if he remembered it wrong, but this is your favorite food."

Chu Weiyue looked at the big chicken drumstick in the bowl and was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

She rolled her eyes in disdain in her heart. There were so many delicious dishes, but he chose to pick such a big chicken leg for her. It was obvious that he wanted her to be full and not be able to eat other dishes afterwards.

She immediately put the chicken leg on Chu Ranxin's plate: "Sister, you eat it."

In this case, even if Chu Ranxin was disgusted, he could only pull the corners of his mouth awkwardly when he thought of his father's reaction just now and was kicked by Song from below.

"Thank you for your kindness, sister."

In fact, he wanted to skin Chu Weiyue alive. This woman was such a cheap woman that she gave her such a big chicken leg on purpose to make her fat.

The Marquis' attitude towards Chu Weiyue was completely different, and he always showed concern for her.

Chu Weiyue was very clear about this. He knew that his relationship with Wen Jingchi had improved and he was just trying to curry favor with him.

At this time, the butler came in from outside and handed an account book to the Marquis, who then handed it to Chu Weiyue.

"This is the bill for Tianxianglou, which is also our family's property. I'll leave it to you to manage from now on. I'll also leave the several other restaurants under our name to you to manage as well."

Hearing this, Chu Weiyue almost bit her tongue.

Chu Ranxin was so angry that he tightly gripped the chopsticks, wishing he would drop them to the ground any moment.

Song, who was standing next to him, immediately smiled awkwardly: "My Lord, why did you suddenly hand over such an important business to the children? I'm afraid the children won't be able to handle it."

The Marquis glared at Song with dissatisfaction.
