Wen Changxian stood where he was and watched his sister leave before the smile on his face faded.
He called Nan Ren over." Did His Highness's men retreat when he returned to the capital?”
"Yes, I am."
Wen Changxian pursed his lips and pondered for a moment before saying,"This isn't right. Go and secretly investigate and see if the Crown Prince's men are still hiding.”
Nan Ren was slightly surprised." Young Master, you…"
"It's fine if Sister doesn't know, but how can you not know when you've been by my side? When did His Highness send anyone to find me in the Eastern Palace?”Just now, it was just that it was not easy to speak in front of his sister.
"So you suspect that His Highness has people in the dark?”
Wen Changxian nodded," I'm not suspecting, I'm sure!"”Otherwise, how could he know what was happening in the High Duke's Public House and even lend a helping hand in such a timely manner!
But why?
He didn't think that the Crown Prince had sent someone to help him. The two of them had known each other for so many years, how could they not understand each other?
He had never sent anyone to help him on the battlefield, let alone in the Public House.
Nan Ren quickly sent the news." Young Master, just as you said, there are indeed two of His Highness's men in the dark.”
Pa!
He slapped the back of Nan Ren's head and Wen Changxian glared at him." What are you doing? You've been back for two days and you only realized it now?"”
Nan Ren said aggrievedly," Those two people hid very well. Just now, this lowly one had to spend some effort to confirm it. Moreover, I didn't expect the Crown Prince to keep someone alive."”
"Brat, you still dare to say that!" Wen Changxian raised his hand and pretended to hit again.
Seeing this, Nan Ren hurriedly shrunk his neck and made a gesture to beg for mercy and shut up. After a while, he carefully said,"Young Master, what do you plan to do now?”
Wen Changxian sighed," What can we do? We'll talk about it when we go to the Eastern Palace tomorrow."”
He couldn't go to the Eastern Palace right now. He would have to wait until tomorrow.
……
Wen Changxian was once the Crown Prince's study companion. Wen Yuanyuan, who had been reborn, naturally knew about it. She also knew that the two of them had a good relationship. In her previous life, when the Crown Prince passed away, her brother had to suffer for a whole month before he recovered.
This was also the reason why she dared to use the Crown Prince as a cover. Because she knew that the Crown Prince would help cover up the lie. There was also another reason. Even if Wen Zexuan knew it was fake, he didn't dare to make a fuss about the Crown Prince.
One had to know that the Crown Prince was in charge of the court!
However, she found it strange.
When Granny Yang spoke just now, she saw her brother's surprise with her own eyes. It was obvious that he was very surprised by this result.
Moreover, today's incident was so sudden that even she, who had lived for a lifetime, did not expect it. Needless to say, her brother could not have predicted it at all.
Then how did the Crown Prince know?
After thinking about it, there was only one explanation, and that was that the Crown Prince's men were present!
However, judging from today's matter, the other party did not have any ill intentions.
This could be put aside for now. It was tomorrow, and her brother's situation, as well as her and her biological mother...
Wen Zexuan already had the intention to cripple his brother and had started to act. After today's matter, he must have noticed her. Under such circumstances, he could no longer plan slowly.
He had to change from passive to active!
However, she had just returned and her foundation was still shallow. She could not do it alone...
After sorting out these things, Wen Yuanyuan had a plan in his heart and called over Granny Yang.
"Miss."
Wen Yuanyuan took a sip of tea and said faintly,"Granny, how long have you been by Mother's side?”
Although Mrs. Yang was puzzled, she still replied truthfully,""After Furen was born, this old servant went to serve Furen. It has been nearly forty years since then.”
"In that case, you watched Mother grow up.”
"Yes."
" Nearly forty years of friendship…" Wen Yuanyuan paused and then said coldly," I think it's nothing much!”
Mrs. Yang was startled." What does Miss mean? This old servant, this old servant…"
"Don't tell me that Momo has nothing to say to me about today's matter?”His tone turned cold again.
Hearing this, Granny Yang's heart skipped a beat as she looked at Wen Yuanyuan in disbelief.
The latter sneered." I still remember what you said to me on the road that day. You said that Father cherished Mother and had been married for twenty years without taking in any wives or concubines. Is that really the case?”
"Isn't the reason why granny treats me so well is because I love my house and its crow? Even granny knows that I love my house and its crow. If father really cherishes mother as you said, then how do you explain all these things to me and brother?”
"I don't believe that you can't see that father has the intention to destroy brother! Before today, you served Mother every day. I don't believe that you didn't suspect anything!”
After a series of questions, Mrs. Yang's face was extremely pale.
Her lips trembled, and even her voice was trembling." Miss, Miss, you can tell?”
"Tell me everything you know.”Wen Yuanyuan did not answer and said.
"This…"
"What, you still want to hide it at this stage? Are you really going to wait until your brother is destroyed before you speak?”
"No, no, no. This old servant never had such intentions. It's just that this old servant doesn't know much.”
Wen Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows. If Granny Yang knew about it, her brother wouldn't have ended up like that.
Mrs. Yang indeed didn't know much, or rather, she didn't know anything. She only vaguely guessed from her daily life that Wen Zexuan had a different heart, but she didn't know anything about the mother and son.
"It's not that this old servant doesn't want to tell Furen, it's just that this kind of thing can't be seen or touched. These years Furen has been immersed in the self-blame of Miss being abducted, this old servant really doesn't want to see Furen suffer another blow…"
She and Wet Nurse Chen had also thought of going back to look for the old general, but the old general was always on the battlefield. They did not dare to disturb the old general's mind with uncertain things, so they wanted to find an opportunity to tell the young master. However, the young master's personality was not one to hide things, so they could only discuss how to be more careful.
However, he did not expect that the young miss would return. Moreover, after these days and today's understanding, he could confirm that this person was someone who could make decisions for the madam and consider for the young master.
The key was that he had ideas and methods!
Thinking of this, Granny Yang's tears flowed freely as she choked,"" Miss, it's great that you're back…"
Wen Yuanyuan closed her eyes and smiled bitterly in her heart. To be honest, if it wasn't for the people she cared about here, she really didn't want to come back to the Public House. She didn't want any glory or wealth.
But now that she had returned, it was useless to think about these things. Since she had returned, it should be hers. What she wanted to protect and care about, as long as she did not allow it, no one could covet it!
Including her father!
