On the wedding night, the villain husband cried and his eyes turned red

After Wen Yian left, Wen Yidi called Sixi over and told him to guard the door while he turned and entered the secret passage. There was a secret mechanism on the wall of the secret passage. He stretched out his hand and pressed on the wall a few times, and a stone slab on the wall slowly fell down.

Behind the stone slab is a small space that can barely accommodate one person. Wen Yidi rummaged around here and finally found a booklet, which contained the list that Wen Yi'an had given him before.

"Isn't your identity... unusual?"

He muttered to himself, turning pages with his hands more and more anxiously. At the very beginning, Wen Yidi had not thought about searching for his biological parents.

But after searching for several places on the list, all he got was disappointment, so he gave up all his thoughts. When Wen Yian heard that his biological father was not an ordinary person, Wen Yian suddenly realized that the direction he was looking for was completely wrong.

He wasted too much energy on common people, merchants, and petty officials. No matter how long he searched, it would be in vain. After thinking about this clearly, Wen Yidi quickly turned to the following pages of the book.

The order of the names in this book is from lowest to highest status. When Wen Yian was compiling the list, he was afraid that there would be any omissions, so he wrote down all the children's families who were lost, those who died young, those who were similar in age, and even the girl's family.

When Wen Yidi first saw this list, he thought it was a bit outrageous. But just now when Wen Yi'an said that it was not clear who was the older of the two, Wen Yidi realized that Wen Yi'an really understood the personalities of the Wen family's parents better than he did.

They are businessmen who can't afford early profits. How could they go to such great lengths to adopt a child from an ordinary family? Unless, his existence can bring greater benefits to the Wen family.

So Wen Yidi quickly turned to the last page of the booklet and saw the name that he had crossed out long ago:

The eldest princess Li Jiayi and the consort Pei Yi (deceased).

Died young, man, now sixteen years old.

He was assassinated before he was three years old. According to legend, his death was tragic.

He reached out his hand tremblingly and touched these simple lines, feeling mixed emotions in his heart. Could it be...them? Wen Yidi asked himself silently in his heart.

He looked through the first few names again and silently wrote them down in his mind. Wen Yidi subconsciously wanted to go to Guan Mansion to discuss with Xu Shihuan, but suddenly remembered that Xu Shihuan was still in Hezhou at this time.

Sure enough, once people have someone they can rely on, when they encounter difficulties, they will subconsciously refuse to bear everything alone.

Wen Yidi knew in his heart that he could select a few suitable people from the list as Wen Yian said and take those people to Hezhou as the emperor said.

Then, he just needs to wait quietly, waiting for the day when the Wen family is finished. At that time, Mrs. Wen will naturally find his biological parents and trade them for Wen Yi'an's life.

However, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable. If the emperor has enough patience, and if Wen Yi'an's judgment is wrong, the Wen family will not fall for a while, what should he do?

Moreover, from the time Wen Yidi could remember, he had done his best for the Wen family. Now that he calms down and thinks about it, his ability to secure his position as an imperial businessman depends not only on the pressure from the Wen family's parents, but also on his interest in doing business.

Like Wen Youcai, he likes doing business from the bottom of his heart. Seeing that all the products in the store were sold out, and seeing the money boxes filled to the brim at closing, Wen Yidi felt a sense of satisfaction that nothing could replace.

In Wen Yidi's heart, although he hated the Wen family, there was also something that made it difficult for him to let go. Wen Yidi couldn't do anything to let him watch the Wen family collapse and the business he had worked so hard to run for so long be in flames.

When Wen Yidi came out of the secret passage, he looked extremely tired. Seeing his appearance, Si Xi asked worriedly:

"Master, do you want to take a rest first?"

Wen Yidi shook his head and then asked:

"Sixi, go check and see if there has been any business dealings between the eldest princess's mansion and the Wen family recently?"

After a moment, Sixi came to reply:

"Master, the eldest princess's house has been ordering wild ginseng from our Wen family's pharmacy in recent years. The eldest princess is in poor health and needs wild ginseng to nourish her body all year round."

"However, because our Wanhua Kingdom was at war with the Suwu Kingdom and forced conscription, many people bought wild ginseng and sent it to the military camp, thinking that if they were injured, they could use wild ginseng to hang themselves."

"So, the ginseng is tightly curled up. Although the eldest princess has a noble status, after all, she has been fasting and praying to Buddha for many years and has lived in simplicity. The quality of the wild ginseng sent to the eldest princess's house is quite poor."

After listening to Sixi's words, Wen Yidi lowered his eyes, thought seriously for a moment, and continued:

"Go to my warehouse and pick out an old ginseng. If you want one that's in better condition, I'm going to deliver it to the eldest princess' mansion myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sixi asked:

"Master, the ginseng in your warehouse is either a century old or a few decades old. Which one do you need?"

Wen Yidi originally wanted to take the hundred years, but then he thought, if the eldest princess was not his biological mother, wouldn't the ginseng be given away in vain? After hesitating for a moment, Wen Yidi made up his mind and said seriously:

"As long as it's thirty or forty years old, don't get something too good."

Not long after, a thirty-year-old wild ginseng was put in a brocade box and delivered to Wen Yidi. Wen Yidi carefully inspected it and made sure that the roots of the wild ginseng tree were intact and there were no broken parts, then he got up and left the house.

The front door of the Princess Mansion was deserted, and I didn't know it, but I thought it had been deserted for a long time. With a glance at the endless wall, it is not difficult to imagine how glorious this place once was.

After Wen Yidi waited at the door for a while, the maid who went to deliver a message rushed back and opened a small door on the side to let Wen Yidi in.

Originally, Wen Yidi was still worried that he would not be able to see the eldest princess if he came to visit rashly. But he didn't expect that everything went surprisingly smoothly. The little maid who opened the door for him actually brought him directly to the eldest princess.

"The humble minister Wen Yidi pays homage to the eldest princess."

Wen Yidi bowed politely, his heart beating loudly in his chest. Just after he finished his salute, he heard a cold voice coming from the front:

"Master Wen, there is no need to be polite, please get up."

Hearing this, Wen Yidi stood up slowly. He plucked up the courage and moved his gaze upwards, and what came into view was a plain face. Her pale lips and dark blue eyes all told others how bad her current state was.

Seeing Wen Yidi looking at her without saying a word for a long time, the eldest princess chuckled and said helplessly:

"Master Wen, does my appearance scare you?"
