old lady:……
She never expected her granddaughter to say that.
Is it simply because Xie Xuan is more handsome than His Highness the Crown Prince?
She always felt that this reason was not very convincing.
My own granddaughter is certainly not such a superficial person.
The old lady pondered for a moment seriously before slowly saying, "Thinking he's handsome is just an excuse, isn't it? You wouldn't happen to like that Prince Xuan, would you?"
After saying that, she nodded to herself, feeling that she must have discovered the truth.
She couldn't help but observe her granddaughter closely, wanting to see if her granddaughter was shy because her secret had been exposed.
However, it is clearly not true!
She saw her granddaughter with a faint smile, even a little indifferent.
Then she heard her granddaughter slowly reply, "Yes!"
The old lady was taken aback; she hadn't expected her granddaughter to admit it so readily.
this……
"Do you really like him?" The old lady felt that something was not right.
Yun Chuwei paused for a moment, then looked at the old lady and asked, "He's quite handsome, don't you like him too?"
old lady:……
She almost instinctively retorted, "When did I ever say I liked that brat, Prince Xuan?"
Yun Chuwei was about to say something when she was interrupted by the old lady who had just come to her senses.
"No! The kind of 'like' I'm talking about, is it that kind of 'like'?"
The old lady was almost led astray by this girl.
Is her preference the same as this girl's?
She has the kind of affection that elders have for younger people.
Yun Chu smiled slightly: "Pretty much the same."
old lady:……
She was about to say something when she saw Huo Qingjue, who had come looking for Yun Chuwei.
-
Huo Qingjue saw that the old lady was also there, so he walked over and bowed to her.
"Grandma!" he said with exceptional respect.
The old lady was his grandfather's sister and his father's aunt.
To call the one lying down "Grandma" is an adjective.
The old lady in front of him was his real great-aunt.
The old lady nodded slightly, without saying anything more.
She naturally knew that this grand-nephew had been assigned by the Tianqi Emperor to protect his granddaughter.
But she wasn't particularly close to this grand-nephew.
Huo Qingjue was clearly used to her great-aunt's coldness.
He didn't care much and went straight to Yun Chuwei's side, about to report the situation to her.
He originally intended to say it directly.
After all, Yun Chuwei didn't ask him to come back later, which meant that he didn't need to avoid talking to the old lady.
However……
At this moment, He Ning walked over and said to the old lady, "Mother, Yan Wei has brought his wife and child to pay their respects to you!"
The old lady had never actually met Yan Wei's wife, because when Yan Wei was about to get married, his wife was already pregnant.
The journey is too long for me to return and pay my respects.
She sent someone to their wedding and heard that Yan Wei's wife was quite nice.
But I didn't see it with my own eyes after all.
She treated Yan Wei like a son, and naturally wanted to meet her daughter-in-law. So, she immediately stood up.
"Weiwei, you two chat first, I'm going to go see your Uncle Yan!" the old lady said.
Yun Chuwei nodded immediately.
Only after the old lady and He Ning disappeared did Yun Chuwei say to Huo Qingjue, "You don't seem to know my grandmother very well?"
Yun Chuwei remembered that the person in front of her should be her grandmother's grand-nephew!
Huo Qingjue laughed and said, "I had been wandering around for a long time before, and I've only been back for a few years. I'm not very close to my aunt. Besides, my mother was a singer."
The old lady didn't seem to like the singer very much, and by extension, she didn't like him very much either.
Yun Chuwei understood.
She said, "The old lady was tricked by a singer, so she has some prejudice against singers and dancers. Don't take it to heart."
Huo Qingjue was surprised, her eyes filled with curiosity.
Yun Chu smiled and said, "Don't look at me like you're trying to pry. I'm the one asking you a question!"
"Alright." Huo Qingjue was somewhat disappointed. "Is there anything else you want to ask, Miss?"
Yun Chuwei recalled that when Xie Xuan talked about the investigation of Huo Qingjue, he mentioned Huo Qingjue's younger brother.
She asked, "Do you have a younger brother from the same mother?"
Huo Qingjue was somewhat surprised, but still nodded: "Yes."
"Did he go back to the Huo family too?"
Although Emperor Tianqi might send people to keep an eye on Huo Qingjue and others' relatives, he certainly wouldn't restrict their freedom.
She needed to learn more about Huo Qingjue and his brother in order to determine whether Huo Qingjue would be threatened by others because of his brother.
She also wanted to know why Huo Qingjue and Jiang Wanqiu had harmed Xie Xuan in her previous life.
Huo Qingjue looked puzzled. He didn't understand why this young lady was suddenly so interested in his younger brother.
He felt that when he returned, he would need to tell his younger brother to behave himself.
He nodded and said, "Yes."
After saying that, he immediately changed the subject.
"The Fifth Princess has been released. Her intention is to submit a memorial truthfully about the Crown Prince's affairs."
Yun Chuwei nodded slightly and said, "That's good!"
Huo Qingjue looked at Yun Chuwei and asked, "Are you also going to submit a memorial attacking the Crown Prince?"
He already knew what had happened outside the Marquis's residence.
Now that Yun Chuwei has taken action, she certainly won't let it go.
Upon hearing this, Yun Chuwei smiled and said, "This cannot be considered an attack! Submitting a memorial to state the facts, can that be considered an attack?"
Huo Qingjue thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't count!"
Yun Chuwei remembered something else and asked directly, "Are your people still keeping an eye on Yun Lianhua? What's the situation?"
That's a witness! The Crown Prince's plaintiff! If he can live, that would be for the best!
It's okay if you die.
That's the advantage of some people; whether they live or die, they are still useful.
Huo Qingjue nodded: "We're still keeping an eye on her. As you instructed, we haven't interfered at all. Apparently, Yun Lianhua has had a truly miserable experience; what she went through along the way was almost like walking through hell. At first, she was even bought by human traffickers because of her looks. After she escaped, she made herself look like a beggar. Things got even worse later; she tried to drown herself several times, but in the end, she chose to stay alive! She should be able to enter the capital in two days. Are we really going to just let her return?"
Yun Chu raised an eyebrow slightly and said in a low voice, "She didn't disappoint me; she really did come back alive. Now that we're almost at the capital, keep an eye on her. If the Crown Prince makes a move, we'll make a move too. Make sure she knows the Crown Prince wants her dead, and try our best to keep her alive."
Upon hearing this, Huo Qingjue immediately agreed, "I understand!"
As he was about to leave, he remembered that when those people sent the message, they mentioned the second young master of the Yun family.
It seems that this second young master has returned to the capital and even met Yun Lianhua.
He said, "There's one more thing!"
