"Go to the princess's mansion!"

As soon as he got on the carriage, Xu Shihuan gave instructions to the driver. Seeing her reaction like this, Wen Yidi couldn't help but murmur in his heart. He hesitated for a while, then asked:

"I don't understand, why do you have to come to Wen's house today?"

Xu Shihuan glanced at him, as if hesitating whether to say anything. Seeing that the carriage was approaching the princess's residence, she shouted to the coachman:

"Stop! My husband and I have something to say. Please step aside. I will call you after I finish speaking."

The coachman was an old man selected by General Guan, and he was very measured in his words and actions. Seeing that his master had something to say, he consciously got out of the carriage and stood not far or near from the carriage.

In this way, he would not hear what the people in the carriage said, but he could also observe the surrounding situation in time. The entourage who was following behind saw the carriage stopped and couldn't help but step forward to check, but was stopped behind by a look from the coachman.

Even so, Xu Shihuan still listened carefully to his surroundings to make sure there was no unusual noise, and then lowered his voice and said:

"You are right. I brought you to the Wen Mansion today not just to return home. On the one hand, I want to find out what is going on in the Wen family now. On the other hand, I also want to find a suitable reason. , I’ll take you to the eldest princess’s mansion to sit for a while.”

Wen Yidi did not fully agree with Xu Shihuan's words. He smoothed away the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and then said softly:

"You can just ask me about the Wen family. As for the eldest princess, I'm not in a hurry. After all, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

However, after listening to Wen Yidi's words, Xu Shihuan slowly shook his head. In these years, Wen Yidi has been busy with business matters, and still has little understanding of the twists and turns behind the court.

"Then let me ask you, why are all the elders of the Wen family gathered in the mansion today? Don't say that they came here deliberately just for you to come back today. I don't believe you have such a great reputation."

Hearing what Xu Shihuan said, Wen Yidi also started to murmur in his heart. In the Wen Mansion just now, he thought that these elders were just afraid that he would give up and not become an imperial merchant, so they used words to beat him and Xu Shihuan.

But when he calmed down, he realized that it would be too impulsive for the Wen family to mobilize all the troops to invite all these elders just for this reason. Especially those who had never spoken to each other from beginning to end. Wen Yidi remembered that their place was not close to Yong'an City, and it would take ten and a half months to come here at least.

Unless, they used this as a guise and came all the way here for something else. Thinking back to Wen Yian's inexplicable words before leaving, Wen Yidi couldn't help but feel frightened.

"Could it be that the Wen family is going to take action in the near future?"

Seeing that Wen Yidi finally got the idea, Xu Shihuan didn't hide anything from him and said without reservation:

"I don't know the specific situation now. I may get some other news when I meet the eldest princess later."

After saying that, Xu Shihuan opened the curtain on the carriage and called the driver over. In just a moment, the group entered the eldest princess's mansion.

"Shihuan, isn't today the day for you to bring your husband home? Why are you here all of a sudden?"

As soon as she appeared, the eldest princess kindly pulled Xu Shihuan to her side and asked softly. However, if you observe carefully, you will find that although she is talking to Xu Shihuan, her eyes can't help but glance at Wen Yidi.

"Auntie, please don't mention this coming back. It won't make me angry enough. You don't know what a coward we were feeling when we were at the Wen family just now."

Facing Wen Yidi's surprised look, Xu Shihuan elaborated on what happened in the Wen family just now. If the Wen family's previous behavior was seven points excessive, in Xu Shihuan's words it was ten points.

At the end of the day, Xu Shihuan did not forget to remind:

"Auntie, do you think the Wen family is too small-minded? In order to embarrass the two of us, they called all the elders of the Wen family over from thousands of miles away. Don't they think it's troublesome?"

"Are all the elders of the Wen family here?"

The eldest princess asked abruptly. Xu Shihuan nodded seriously, as if he didn't think much about it.

"Shihuan, I have some thoughtful things that I want to talk to you alone. I have to ask Wen Yidi to go to the mansion first and wait for us two for a while."

After Wen Yidi went out, the smile on the eldest princess's face suddenly disappeared. She glanced at Xu Shihuan, her eyes full of inquiry. Even though Xu Shihuan was fearless, he was still frightened by her look and his back went cold.

"Eldest Princess, to be honest, I came today just to talk to you about the Wen family. As far as I know, the Wen family has been arriving in Yong'an City one after another in the past few days. I'm afraid there may be some big move."

Xu Shihuan said carefully, carefully observing the eldest princess's reaction. She didn't say a word, and she didn't even have the slightest curiosity about what she said. She obviously knew something in advance.

Seeing the eldest princess's reaction, Xu Shihuan had to take some risks and force the eldest princess to make a choice. So, she took a deep breath and said slowly:

"Eldest Princess, the second prince has no chance of ascending to the throne. If you stand on his side, you will definitely lose miserably."

"Presumptuous! Xu Shihuan, do you know what you are talking about?"

Hearing this, the eldest princess suddenly became angry. She was completely different from the way she and Xu Shihuan were as close as mother and daughter just now. But Xu Shihuan was not afraid at all and continued:

"The eldest princess thinks, why did I not agree to marry Li Yunfeng in the first place? His family background, appearance, and character are all top-notch. Even if I didn't agree, why would my parents be willing to depend on me?"

As expected, when this matter was brought up, the eldest princess also had something to puzzle about. Although the incident that Li Yunfeng later had with the granddaughter of Tutor Gao's family was very chilling, this is all a story for another day.

Before this, although Li Yunfeng had some thoughts, it was not a big mistake. It's really strange that Xu Shihuan is so resistant to him. Seeing that the eldest princess had a more probing look in her eyes, Xu Shihuan felt a little more confident.

"Because Li Yunfeng is a seductress."

"nonsense!"

The eldest princess stood up suddenly in anger, obviously not wanting to continue talking with Xu Shihuan. But Xu Shihuan didn't panic at all and continued:

"Why is the eldest princess so excited? Since I dare to say this, I naturally have my evidence. You may wish to recall that Li Yunfeng has lived for more than twenty years, but has he ever expressed his affection for any woman? Gao Taifu's granddaughter Gao Why did Zi Mo shed tears all day long after marrying him, and..."

"What else? What do you think?"

What Xu Shihuan said just now has already made the eldest princess feel shaken. Seeing her suddenly stop mid-sentence, I felt even more anxious.

"And Wen Yidi. Princess, how come I, a girl who has just returned from Hezhou, have anything to do with Huangshang? I didn't encounter something I shouldn't have seen while I was investigating Li Yunfeng."
