Chapter 560 A Letter (Part 2)
Dingbei Marquis Mansion.
The north wind rolled up the curtains, and a tall figure appeared silently in the study.
Chen Yanchuan was reading a letter at the desk. He didn't even raise his head when he heard the voice. He spoke calmly:
"The Xie family is in a mess, are you sure you don't want to go back and take a look?"
Xie Anbai, who had just sat down on the chair, was speechless. He opened the bone fan irritably and put it on his face.
"I came here just to have some peace and quiet, why won't you let me go?"
Chen Yanchuan seemed to have heard a joke, and finally raised his eyelids to look at him, smiling:
"In the entire capital, apart from the imperial palace, my place is probably the most unsafe. Why did you come here?"
Xie Anbai leaned back in his chair with his head raised and let out a long sigh.
"I haven't had a good night's sleep for several days. Please spare me and let me sleep for a while, okay?"
Chen Yanchuan nodded: "As long as you can sleep, I have no problem."
Xie Anbai: "..."
He took it without permission and looked over with a complicated expression.
"…We are all brothers, why do you have to be so hurt?"
Shen Yanchuan looked at the letter in his hand again.
"Your brother is also a worry to you. You blame me instead."
Xie Anbai closed his eyes in despair again.
If someone else were here, they would probably be surprised that this playboy who was invincible in the capital could actually suffer a setback.
After a while, Xie Anbai finally spoke in a muffled voice:
"Bloodline is something I can't control or change."
He seldom went back to the Xie family during this period, eating and sleeping in different places, just because he didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the Xie family.
However, no matter what he did, various news would still reach his ears from time to time.
"I wanted to get rid of him, but he was causing trouble in the street today, so I guess it's hard for me not to know about it."
The incident of the prince of the Loyal and Brave Marquis acting crazy while drunk in public has become a topic of conversation for many people.
There were many people watching the joke, and Xie Anbai was not immune.
Without going back to look, he could imagine what the Xie family's current situation was like.
Shen Yanchuan pondered for a moment and reminded: "Although your majesty has demoted Jiang Qingmei and ordered the exile of Xiao Chengxuan, he has not dealt with Princess Huaning."
I don’t know whether it was because it was too late, or because Emperor Mu Wu was soft-hearted towards his daughter, or maybe... he got away with it cleanly.
But as long as she remains a princess, she will still have a say in the Xie family.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have had a falling out with Xie Anjun.
Even a fool could guess the reason for their conflict.
"Her temper is similar to Jiang Qingmei's. She will not give up until she achieves her goal. Are you really not going to go back and take a look?"
Xie Anbai frowned and didn't speak for a long time.
After thinking about it for a long time, he became upset and simply closed the fan with a "swish" and pressed it against his forehead.
"Forget it. I don't think she will make trouble for long. Besides, if I go back now, my elder brother will probably dislike me even more. I'd better not go and cause trouble."
From childhood to adulthood, he was always the one who was scolded, while Xie Anjun was highly respected and enjoyed great glory.
Xie Anbai was used to it.
He had enjoyed himself eating, drinking and having fun these years and was too lazy to go back and deal with the mess.
Shen Yanchuan did not persuade him any further.
Xie Anbai waited for a while and calmed down a lot. He turned his head and saw that he was staring at the letter, and he became curious.
"Whose letter is it that takes you so long to read? It can't be Miss Ye's calligraphy, right?"
He tapped his chin and said sarcastically,
"You are all in the capital, and your people are now protecting her in secret, no, openly. If you have anything to say, you can just meet directly. Why bother with so much trouble?"
Shen Yanchuan raised his eyes and glanced at him.
Xie Anbai clicked his tongue.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Was what I said wrong? Who doesn't know that Miss Ye risked her life to save you? You should just be content—"
"This is a letter from Zhuola." Shen Yanchuan said in a calm voice.
"Zhuo—I'm going!?"
Xie Anbai was so shocked that he fell off his chair. He quickly raised his hand to hold the corner of the table and managed to stand firmly.
But he couldn't care about these things at the moment, and took a few quick steps to the table.
"Mumu Zhen'er's youngest son—Zho La!?"
Chen Yanchuan leaned back and generously showed him the letter.
The slightly yellowed paper is densely packed with words, and it is indeed Wazhenwen!
Xie Anbai gasped and stared at Shen Yanchuan in disbelief.
"Are you crazy? If someone finds out that you are secretly communicating with Zora at this time, then—"
"Don't you already know it now?" Shen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows.
Xie Anbai: "..."
He suddenly realized something, took a half step back, and pointed at Shen Yanchuan with a trembling finger.
"You...did you do this on purpose!?"
He was just asking casually, but who knew this man was so cunning and tricked him into coming here!
"I don't know anything!" Xie Anbai said righteously, "I don't know Wa Zhenwen!"
Chen Yanchuan understood: "Then I'll read it to you."
"shut up!"
Xie Anbai regretted it to the extreme.
Isn't it good for him to have a drink with the girls in Chunfeng Tower? Why do I have to come here?
It would be fine if this person didn't give him any advice, but now he's trying to drag him down with him!
Chen Yanchuan smiled slightly, took out a fire starter and burned the letter.
Looking at the rising white smoke, Xie Anbai was a little dazed.
"You, you just burned the letter?"
"What are you keeping it for? Are you going to help deliver it to the palace?"
“…”
Xie Anbai couldn't help but rolled his eyes and turned to leave.
"I can't be brothers with you, really."
Shen Yanchuan didn't stop him.
"Ugel is already outside the city. When the city gates open tomorrow, he will lead the delegation into the capital."
Xie Anbai paused.
"This has nothing to do with me."
Chen Yanchuan nodded: "It has nothing to do with you, but it has something to do with Zhuola. He secretly wrote this letter because of this."
Xie Anbai frowned and tilted his head slightly.
"It's just that the brothers are arguing fiercely. After all, it's their own business. Why would they write to you?"
Shen Yanchuan said nothing and took out another letter from the drawer under the table.
Seeing the familiar handwriting on it, Xie Anbai was shocked: "This is..."
"News from the Northern Frontier."
Shen Yanchuan didn't say it explicitly, but Xie Anbai knew that this was a letter from Shen Youyan!
"Mumu Zhen'er's condition remains a mystery. We sent out several teams before, but none of them succeeded in getting any information. Unexpectedly, we received Zhuola's letter first."
Chen Yanchuan pointed his finger at the letter.
"I'm afraid the Wazhen envoys' visit to Beijing this time will not be peaceful."
"So?" Xie Anbai was puzzled. "What did Zhuola want to do by writing to you?"
Shen Yanchuan smiled.
"Of course you ask me for help."
"Help? Could it be——"
Xie Anbai had some guesses in his mind, and he was shocked.
"He can't be trying to use you to deal with Uggler, right?! Is he crazy? Why does he think you will agree?"
Shen Yanchuan looked at him quietly.
Xie Anbai's heart sank suddenly.
"Could it be——related to the Xie family?"
