Chapter 561 Reply (Update 1)
Chen Yanchuan said: "It can be there or not."
Xie Anbai's heart suddenly sank.
Although Shen Yanchuan's words were ambiguous, he was not a fool.
This is almost a tacit acknowledgement - the letter is indeed related to the Xie family!
"How come?"
Xie Anbai was stunned for a while and still didn't want to believe it.
"I know my father's character. He followed Taizu to build the country, and he will never have two minds. He can't kill those Wa masters in time, so it's impossible for them to contact him privately."
Suddenly, he thought of something and paused.
"Could it be——"
If it wasn't his father, then... it could only be his good elder brother!
"But how is this possible!" Xie Anbai frowned. "He has his own thoughts, but he can't be so stupid, right? Besides, his position as the crown prince is secure. He can just enjoy life in the capital. Why would he do something so thankless?"
Chen Yanchuan suddenly asked: "How do you know if he is taking the initiative or being passive? Even if he doesn't want to, what if someone wants him to do it?"
Xie Anbai subconsciously said: "Who can force——"
As soon as he asked this question, he suddenly became speechless and murmured something after a while.
"…So, it's really him?"
There was dead silence in the room.
After an unknown amount of time, Shen Yanchuan finally said, "You are right. He is of noble status, so he must have his reasons for doing this. But no matter what, this is a dead end."
Xie Anbai's mind went blank.
He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
It is wrong not to reply to Shen Yanchuan's message. Since he has made it so clear, he must have solid evidence.
The reason I mentioned this to him today is because of our long-standing friendship and I wanted to give him a heads up first.
Can……
"I can't figure it out, really." Xie Anbai said with difficulty.
Chen Yanchuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "You really don't understand?"
Xie Anbai remained silent for a long time.
He slumped in the chair, rubbed his face hard with both hands, and took a deep breath, but still couldn't calm his boiling emotions.
If I say that I have no idea why Xie Anjun did this, I would be lying.
Apart from anything else, Xie Anjun has been famous in recent years and has private relationships with many ministers in the court. On the surface, he seems to be doing very well.
It would be impossible to achieve this level if he just relied on his identity as the son of a loyal and brave marquis.
Xie Anbai knew that he was secretly entangled with others in interests, but he just didn't want to pursue it too much.
When the water is too clear, there will be no fish. How many people in the court are really clean?
As long as Xie Anjun didn't disturb him, he was happy to keep their distance and mind their own business.
But no matter what, Xie Anbai could never have imagined that Xie Anjun would be so bold!
After thinking for a long time, Xie Anbai asked:
"Is it related to Xiao Chengxuan?"
Chen Yanchuan said calmly: "Since you already knew it, why bother asking me again."
The words he heard that night reappeared in Xie Anbai's mind.
He had never seen his father scold his eldest brother in that tone.
At that time, he thought that his father was so angry just because Xiao Chengxuan was in trouble and Xie Anjun had close contacts with him.
He could never have imagined that the relationship between Xie Anjun and Xiao Chengxuan was so close!
Suddenly, Xie Anbai raised his head: "If this is the case, doesn't it mean that Xiao Chengxuan and Wa Zhen——"
There was no need to say the rest, as both of them understood each other very well.
Chen Yanchuan hesitated for a while before saying, "He has no reason to do this, at least, not before."
"That……"
Xie Anbai was in doubt.
"But Zhuola has written to me. If even he has pointed it out, then what is impossible?"
Shen Yanchuan looked out the window.
He always felt as if something was wrong, as if there was an indescribable weirdness in the subtle details.
But I can’t say specifically.
He leaned back.
"In any case, the Wazhen envoys will come to Beijing for peace talks tomorrow. No one can predict what the situation will be like then."
Xie Anbai paced back and forth anxiously.
After all, it was his home. He could not care about Xie Anjun, but he could not not care about his father.
"What are you going to do? The letter—"
About Zora, about... those secret dealings!
Chen Yanchuan raised his eyes and chuckled.
"What letter?"
…
"Of course, one letter alone is not enough."
Ye Chutang checked the bottles and jars on the table one by one before putting them into the box next to him.
Inside was the new cotton-padded jacket and cotton-padded shoes made for Ye Yunfeng.
Xiacheng is a bitterly cold place, with winter lasting half a year and the land filled with wind and sand.
It's always good to have extra thick clothing.
Xiaowu was sitting cross-legged nearby, carefully examining the change and banknotes stuffed into his cotton coat.
There are interlayers in the cuffs and collar to keep these things dispersed and hidden.
Because it is a cotton coat, you can't feel anything unusual when you touch it at first.
My elder sister said that when Fourth Brother goes out alone, he will always need to spend money, so she specially prepared a lot of money.
This way, Fourth Brother’s life over there should be better, right?
After checking, Xiaowu carefully and cautiously placed a letter on it.
Inside was a reply letter written by Ye Jingyan to Ye Yunfeng, which of course included Ye Chutang's dictation and Xiaowu's gestures.
——She made a lot of gestures, and she even wanted to include the two dead trees in the yard. Ye Jingyan wrote several pages.
"He should be very happy if we send these things together." Ye Chutang put the last bottle of medicine away and breathed a sigh of relief.
——Finally, the box can be sealed.
Xiaowu nodded repeatedly.
She even carefully wrapped a few snacks in oilcloth inside.
If her sister hadn't said that the journey was long and a lot of food would spoil easily, she would have almost packed up all the food from several shops in the capital and brought it over.
Just a few pieces of snacks, probably not enough for Fourth Brother’s whole meal, but at least it’s a token of her love!
Ye Chutang smiled and scratched her nose.
"Don't look at it. The stuff will be delivered today. If everything goes well, your fourth brother will be able to arrive before the New Year."
Xiaowu raised his face with a big smile and threw himself on her legs.
Ye Chutang touched her head and found that she seemed to have grown a lot taller.
"When your fourth brother comes back, he will definitely be very happy to see how fast you have grown."
Xiaowu smiled even more happily.
However, the next moment, she didn't know what she was thinking of, her smile froze slightly, and she turned her head to stare at the box in a daze.
She pursed her lips slightly.
If only...she could speak.
In that case, Fourth Brother will definitely be very happy, right?
Ye Chutang saw the desolate look on her little face and knew what she was thinking.
But this matter cannot be rushed, we can only wait and see.
Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps of a servant was heard outside.
"Second Miss! Second Miss! Someone is coming from the palace!"
Ye Chutang stood up and walked to the door: "What's the matter?"
