In a short while, only a few people from the main family were left in the large hall.
Wang Jiren's sharp eyes swept across everyone present and paused when he landed on Wen Yuanyuan. He saw that Wen Yuanyuan was calm and not happy about what had just happened, nor sad about the fate he was about to face.
He now had a higher opinion of this granddaughter that he had just found back home.
"I don't care what you're thinking. Just keep what happened in your hearts.”
His energetic voice echoed in everyone's ears.
No matter how happy Wen Zexuan was in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything.
Madam Wang was still in a daze. She looked at her father strangely. Her clear eyes seemed to be asking, what happened?
Seeing this, Wang Jiren was filled with helplessness. Back then, he had injured his body on the battlefield. In this life, he was destined to only have one daughter, the Wang family. In addition, his wife had died early and he had been fighting on the battlefield all year round. He held this only daughter in his hands and was afraid that she would fall. He was afraid that she would melt in his mouth. The simple living environment had created the simple and simple her now.
When he first got married, he was afraid that his daughter would be too soft and innocent, so he proposed to marry his daughter. He had to fulfill the unreasonable requirement of not taking concubines for the rest of his life.
In fact, he was not bullying others. He was just afraid that his daughter would be bullied.
It would be fine if he stayed in Beijing, but the key was that he was always outside. If he was bullied, it would be beyond his reach.
Even so, he was still not at ease, so he sent the few nannies who had watched his daughter grow up over. When other people married their daughters, they would send their maidservants as dowry, but when it came to him, the dowry was the nannies.
At that time, the capital gossiped about this for a long time. The world said that he was narrow-minded and prepared for a rainy day, so he downed the nanny. He was afraid that the servant girl would snatch her husband away from her daughter.
In fact, this was not the case. He was afraid that the servant girl was too young to handle things, while the nanny was too experienced.
It wasn't that he hadn't regretted it all these years. Perhaps he had only wanted the best for his daughter at that time, but the aristocratic family mansion was dangerous to begin with. He couldn't protect her forever.
If he pampered her like this, it was very likely that he was also harming her.
However, it was too late for regrets. The Wang Consortium's personality had already been set. The only thing they could do was to let Granny Chen and the others beside them teach them more.
But now, it seemed that it was still so simple that he was worried.
On the way back to the study, Wang Jiren sighed as he thought about it.
He had thought that arranging soldiers and generals on the battlefield was the most difficult thing in the world, but he did not expect that he would encounter an even more difficult problem than arranging soldiers and generals as soon as he returned to the capital.
"General, are you worried about Miss Sun's marriage?”Uncle Tian walked in and saw Wang Jiren sitting there sighing. He went forward and poured him a cup of tea.
Wang Jiren nodded." Old Tian, you're not an outsider, so I won't hide it from you. Previously, in the palace, the Emperor had the intention to arrange a marriage for Yuan 'er and the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince used an excuse to suppress it.”
"Then what is the general worrying about?" Uncle Tian paused for a moment before continuing." This subordinate has always been in the capital, so I've more or less heard about the Crown Prince. This subordinate has heard that every time the Emperor has appointed a marriage for the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince would reject it for various reasons. This time, it should be the same.”
Wang Jiren sighed and shook his head." If that's the case, I don't have to worry. Have you forgotten the gift from the Eastern Palace? Those accessories were obviously for Yuan 'er.”
Uncle Tian was stunned. He immediately thought of something and asked in puzzlement,"Since the Crown Prince suppressed it, why did he give Miss Sun jewelry? This contradictory attitude was really incomprehensible.”
"I'm afraid that the Crown Prince's so-called suppression is only temporary. After all, even if His Majesty has arranged a marriage for the two of them, Yuan 'er will be fourteen this year and has yet to reach adulthood.”
"General, you mean…"
"What Grandfather means is that Wei Huanyu has his eyes on my sister!”Wen Changxian's angry voice suddenly came from outside. The next moment, the door of the study was pushed open and a young man walked in.
"Grandfather, Wei Huanyu is thinking about Yuan 'er. It must be like this. No wonder he sent people to protect Yuan' er in secret. It turns out that he had been scheming against Yuan 'er since then!”
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was what he thought." No, I have to go to the Eastern Palace to find him and ask him!"”
After saying that, he was about to walk out.
"Stop!" Wang Jiren said in a low voice.
"Ancestor…"
"Explain what you said just now. The Crown Prince sent someone to protect Yuan Yuan? What was going on? Are you hiding something from me?”Wang Jiren glared at his grandson.
Wen Changxian paused. At this time, he naturally wouldn't hide it anymore.
" More than a month ago, the Lingnan Army had some strange movements. The Crown Prince went to investigate secretly, but Wu Fan noticed it in advance and sent people to kill him. While hiding and hunting him down, the Crown Prince accidentally barged into Yuan 'er's room..."
" At that time, Nanny Yang brought Yuan 'er back to the capital. They went to Lingnan to stay. When Wu Fan's men went to the inn to search, Yuan' er helped the Crown Prince to avoid the search. However, who knew that Wu Fan would run away with his men when he saw that the situation was not good. The Crown Prince sent people to protect Yuan 'er in secret. He also sent me a letter asking me to go to Yun City to pick her up..."
With Wen Changxian's narration, Wang Jiren's face became uglier." And then?”
These three words almost came out from his teeth.
Wen Changxian shrunk his neck and swallowed his saliva," Then…" Then he stuttered out what happened at the pavilion in the middle of the lake that day." I was curious about the coincidence of the Crown Prince's men, so I asked Yuan Chang to investigate in the residence. Then, I found the people that the Crown Prince left with Yuan 'er…"
"However, I went to the Eastern Palace the next day to ask him to withdraw his men.”
Wang Jiren slammed the table." Withdraw? How do you know that the Crown Prince has dismissed them?”
"I, I…the Crown Prince said it himself…"
"You believe everything he says. When did you become so obedient?”
Wen Changxian couldn't even raise his head.
Seeing him like this, Wang Jiren wished he could hit him with a stick.
"Old Terry!"
"Understood," replied Uncle Tian. After saying that, he went out. After a while, Uncle Tian returned with a strange expression.
"How is it?"
"There are two people hiding in the dark around Miss Sun.”
"What is it? Didn't he say that he was retreating? "This Wei Huanyu actually lied to me. I trusted him so much, but he actually dared to lie to me. No, I have to settle the score with him. I already told him that Yuan 'er is a woman. Why did he send two men to keep an eye on her…"
"Young Master Sun…"
"What's wrong, Grandpa Tian?"
"It's not two men hiding in Miss Sun's dark corner, but……the auras of two women.”
As soon as Uncle Tian said this, the study immediately fell silent.
After a long time.
"Two, two women?" Wen Changxian stammered.
Uncle Tian nodded with certainty." It's indeed the scent of two women."”
