Chapter 21 Brother and Sister Incest
"What deal does Miss Chang want to make with this king?"
Shi Yu's voice was calm, but his heartbeat quickened.
Wei Qingyan raised his eyes and met his gaze. "Your Highness must have a reason for approaching me. What does Your Highness want from me?"
Such a direct question.
Shi Yu tightened his fingers and then slowly loosened them.
It was instinctive to approach her. Since she was unwilling to admit her identity, he treated her as Chang Qingnian. As long as she was alive, it was enough.
He did have something to ask of Chang Qingnian, "Miss, you are a smart person, so I won't beat around the bush.
The girl's appearance at the hot springs was too coincidental, which made me suspicious, so I followed her and learned that she was an extraordinary person in the mystical arts.
Wei Qingyan remained expressionless, but in his heart he was wondering whether he should kick Du Xueyi a few more times.
When she first talked to Du Xueyi about Fang's affairs, she noticed someone outside the house. Seeing that Du Xueyi had no reaction, she thought it was Du Xueyi's secret guard.
But I didn't expect that it was Shi Yu's man.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Shi Yu continued, "There's something I've been secretly investigating for years without success. Some of the people who knew about it are no longer alive. So I wanted to ask you for help in investigating it."
Wei Qingyan pondered for a moment, knowing the truth behind the breakup and her mother's plan for Shi Yu. She didn't want to be Shi Yu's enemy unless absolutely necessary, so she wanted to take this opportunity to get to the bottom of it.
"What is it?"
"Twenty-four years ago, a couple brought their newborn baby boy to Dajue Temple. However, they left the child behind and secretly left in the middle of the night. I want to know who those couple were."
Why did you abandon the child?
Twenty-four years ago?
Wei Qingyan looked at Shi Yu. Twenty-three years ago, she was not yet born and Shi Yu was still in the empress dowager's belly. Why did he want to investigate such an old matter?
"Is there any evidence or clue? Where is the baby boy now?"
Shi Yu apologized slightly, "I'm sorry I can't tell you the baby boy's identity for now. I only know that the two were in their twenties at the time, dressed casually, and it was probably in the second half of the year. Now, it's time for the girl to tell me what she wants me to do."
It's not that he doesn't want to tell her, but she is Chang Qingnian now, and if he tells her, it would be like talking too much.
Instead, it made her suspicious.
Dajue Temple is the most popular temple in the capital. Many people come to the temple to worship Buddha every day. Ordinary families who cannot afford to raise their children but are reluctant to sell them often secretly abandon their children in the temple.
So many years have passed.
Shi Yu is a prince, and even he has been investigating for many years without any results. This is indeed quite difficult, but it is not completely impossible.
Wei Qingyan accepted this mission in his heart, and when he put forward his request, he felt much more justified, "Protect Yan Lan's reputation and get Luo Chengzhou to agree to a divorce."
Luo Chengzhou will die sooner or later, but he can't let Yan Lan remain a widow for him.
Shi Yu raised his thin lips slightly, "Okay."
Even if Wei Qingyan's current status made it difficult for him to come forward, he could have asked Du Xueyi to do it, but Wei Qingyan used this to make a deal with him.
She saw that he was approaching her deliberately, but she didn't want to make malicious assumptions about his intentions, so she used the name of a transaction to make him confess voluntarily.
Xiaoyan has him in her heart.
After understanding Wei Qingyan's intentions, Shi Yu added, "I know that the matter of Dajue Temple is difficult, but it is very important to me. I hope you will take care of it. If you need any assistance, please feel free to ask.
Wei Qingyan suppressed his curiosity and nodded, "Since it's a deal, I'll do my best."
The atmosphere fell silent again.
Suddenly, Wei Qingyan asked, "How did the prince know that General Wei was in trouble back then?"
"I don't know."
Don’t know?
Prince Rong’s fiefdom was not close to Huangshaling.
Facing Wei Qingyan's suspicious eyes, Shi Yu said, "Before Qingyan went to the battle, there was some misunderstanding between me and her. When I heard that she had returned victorious, I went to the road she had to take to return to the capital to wait for her..."
I wanted to take a look at her from afar, but the team didn't show up for a long time, so I sent someone to check.
At the same time, she received a tip-off that Beiling troops had entered the country, and she guessed that she might have been ambushed.
Wei Qingyan pursed his lips.
Therefore, Shi Yu just guessed that something might have happened to her, and secretly dispatched troops there.
Wei Qingyan's heart suddenly felt heavy and she stood up. "Your Highness, please go ahead. I'll go see Yan Lan."
Looking at Wei Qingyan's slightly flustered figure, Shi Yu's eyes dimmed.
Wei Qingyan let out two deep breaths outside, and the depression in his heart finally dissipated a little.
When she arrived at Yan Lan's room, she was already awake, her eyes fixed on nothingness.
"The Luo family treats you badly." Wei Qingyan sat on the edge of the bed.
It's not a question, it's a statement!
Yan Lan turned to look at her, "You all know?"
She gave her name, so it would not be difficult for Prince Rong to investigate her. She did not want to hide anything, but it was difficult for her to speak out.
"The imperial physician said that you are suffering from depression. What did they do to you?" Wei Qingyan lowered his eyes and clasped her skinny hands in his palm.
Perhaps it had been a long time since she had received such kindness, or perhaps it was because she had suppressed her grievances for too long, Yan Lan felt the urge to confide, "Before I got married, Luo Chengzhou already had a woman.
That woman was nominally his sister, but in reality she was the adopted daughter of the Luo family. However, I knew nothing about it and still treated her like a sister.
On our wedding night, Luo Chengzhou drugged my wedding wine. On our wedding night, he knocked his bride unconscious and broke into my sister's boudoir.
I had been married for a year and had not gotten pregnant, so Luo Chengzhou brought his two three-year-old children to me and said that they were the result of his romantic affairs outside due to his momentary confusion, and asked me to forgive him.
My parents-in-law also used the fact that I had no children to force me to register the two children under my name. It was only then that I became suspicious of the Luo family.
Upon closer inspection, I discovered that the twins were the children of Luo Chengzhou and his sister Luo Congyun..."
Yan Lan's expression was calm, and the corners of her eyes were dry.
Those people were no longer worthy of her tears.
"When you discovered these things a year after your marriage, your brothers were still alive. Why didn't you tell them?" Wei Qingyan tried to keep his tone as gentle as possible.
Yan Lan was stunned. "Does the girl also know my brother?"
She had been away from Beijing for five years. The person who knew that her brother and his family were still alive after being married for a year, and who took decisive action against the bandits when they said those insulting words to her, must not be a stranger.
Yan Lan has lived to this day and has long understood that there is no good in this world without reason.
Wei Qingyan nodded, "I know him. Qingyan and I are friends. Qingyan treats you as her own sister. If she knew about your situation, she would not allow the Luo family to bully you."
"I know they will all support me." Yan Lan's eyes finally moistened. "But the battlefield is dangerous. It's already difficult for them to fight the enemy. How can I let them distract from my affairs?"
Wei Qingyan didn't know whether to feel sorry for her understanding or scold her for being stupid, "Have you thought about what to do next?"
Yan Lan bit her lip and said, "From the day I followed them back to Beijing, I decided not to return to the Luo family."
However, she never expected that something like this would happen on the road.
Wei Qingyan shook her hand and said, "Prince Rong will ask Luo Chengzhou to divorce you. This is the Anyuan Marquis's Mansion. I am Chang Qingnian, the younger sister of Anyuan Marquis Du Xueyi.
You stay here for now, and we'll talk about everything after we get divorced. What's done is done. Staying alive is more important than anything else."
When Yan Lan got married, she said that she would be her support behind the scenes. Even if Yan Lan didn't want to divorce, she would never let the Luo family have the opportunity to bully her again.
But based on her understanding of Yan Lan, she knew that Yan Lan would divorce.
Du Xueyi often visited the Wei family, and Yan Lan was quite familiar with him. When she heard that Chang Qingnian was Du Xueyi's sister, she became even more convinced that she and Wei Qingyan knew each other. She said gratefully, "Thank you."
There was a hint of sadness in her eyes, "But, I can't trouble you anymore."
Although the Luo family is the local prefect, they also have connections in Beijing. Her affairs are not glorious, so why involve Miss Chang and others and bring bad luck to them for nothing?
Wei Qingyan looked at her, "Don't you want revenge?"
