"When the situation is critical, no matter how unwilling your majesty is, he can only let go of his grudge. However, your majesty is not a wise king. No matter how good your father is, you still can't get his true trust."

Wan Shufang's tone was incomprehensible, but her expression was solemn, as if Chen Changli would step into a bloody storm.

Chen Xiyun's heart felt like it was being grasped by hands, and she felt uncomfortable again and again.

She stretched out her hand to cover her chest, exhaled slowly, then frowned and said, "If Your Majesty kills the donkey, will Dad hate him?"

When she said this, Chen Xiyun's face turned pale and her eyes were a little wandering. It was obvious that after more than a year, she had seen through the situation and couldn't help but worry about the entire General's Mansion.

"Why do you think so?" Wan Shufang was a little surprised by Chen Xiyun's words and couldn't help but look at her.

Her brows were furrowed and the color on her face faded a bit, as if she was too worried about the affairs of the General's Mansion, which caused her to have no energy. Wan Shufang suddenly felt strange.

She wanted to ask clearly and understand Chen Xiyun's thoughts at the moment, but Chen Xiyun looked troubled, as if he didn't know what to say to her.

After thinking about it, Wan Shufang gave up the idea and said sincerely: "Xiyun, I know you are worried about things at home, and you want to share your worries with us. However, important matters in the court cannot be achieved and developed through discussion as a family. All you can do is do your duty.”

When Chen Xiyun heard this, her eyes turned slightly red and her voice choked with sobs: "Mom, my daughter understands what you mean."

After she finished speaking, she threw herself into Wan Shufang's arms, hugged her tightly with both hands, and said aggrievedly: "I was frightened by some of His Majesty's actions, and that's why I'm worried about Dad."

Hearing that she didn't mean what she said, Wan Shufang didn't say anything. She just stretched out her hand and patted her shoulder, sighing slightly.

Chen Xiyun felt very uncomfortable when she heard Wan Shufang sigh.

But the thoughts in her heart were very treacherous. Wan Shufang and Chen Changli were very cautious because of the emperor's attitude. How could she tell them some of her bold and reckless thoughts, which made them worried.

Forcibly suppressing the discomfort and unwillingness in her heart, Chen Xiyun spoke to comfort her: "Mom, everything will be fine."

"I can guess what Xiyun is worried about at a glance." Wang Xiaohui saw mother and daughter comforting each other. She couldn't help but tighten the handkerchief in her hands, then loosened it and stepped forward to Chen Xiyun's side, lowering her voice. road.

Wan Shufang looked at her and saw a bit of confusion on her face, as if she and Chen Xiyun were thinking about the same thing, so she quickly asked: "What are you doing in private?"

"We didn't do anything." Wang Xiaohui turned pale with fright, and her voice was sharp and harsh.

Wan Shufang snorted coldly: "If you didn't do anything, then why did you react so loudly?"

Chen Xiyun stared at Wang Xiaohui with resentful eyes, as if blaming her for not keeping the secret between them.

Her resentment seemed to be real. Wang Xiaohui was not very guilty at first, but when she felt her emotions, she felt extremely guilty.

She hurriedly avoided Chen Xiyun's gaze and smiled awkwardly at Wan Shufang: "Mom, you are really smart."

Wan Shufang snorted angrily: "Don't praise me randomly, so as not to make me stupid."

After saying that, she gently pushed Chen Xiyun away from her arms and looked at her seriously. Seeing that she dropped her eyes to the ground with a guilty conscience, not daring to look directly at her, her doubts became more intense and she asked, "You two are carrying our couple behind your back." What have you done? Why are you so guilty?”

Chen Xiyun rubbed her feet against the ground without saying a word.

Wang Xiaohui's lips moved slightly but she couldn't say a word, as if she was taking into account Chen Xiyun's mood.

Seeing the two of them showing such postures, Wan Shufang quickly looked at Wu Qiaoyue and found that her eyes were blank, and she had no idea what Chen Xiyun and Wang Xiaohui were doing in private.

Wan Shufang couldn't help but frown. She didn't think that the sisters-in-law who had cleared up the misunderstanding would hide something from each other, unless the matter was too serious. Whether it was Chen Xiyun or Wang Xiaohui, they both felt that it was difficult for Wu Qiaoyue to get involved, so they decided to She hid it.

With this in mind, Wan Shufang quickly came up with a guess that Yun Qiongying was helping Chen Xiyun, which led Chen Xiyun and Wang Xiaohui to secretly plan to do something without letting her and Chen Changli know.

Wan Shufang sighed secretly, but didn't show it on her face at all, and just led them back to the lobby.

Along the way, Chen Xiyun was hesitant to speak, as if she had some scruples, but she wanted to tell Wan Shufang about it. However, the scruples in her heart were too great, so she did not want to blurt out to Wan Shufang.

Wan Shufang doesn't want to get to the bottom of it because her daughter and daughter-in-law are both adults and have the ability and confidence to take charge of their own affairs.

She should give them trust, let them go completely, and let them do something. Only then can they reflect on themselves after hitting the wall, and then understand how they can solve the problem to achieve the best results.

So Wan Shufang took Chen Xiyun to sit down and did not ask further questions. She just warned with concern: "No matter what you and your sisters-in-law plan to do, I hope you will be alert and prepared."

"You must know that you must be on guard against others, and you must not have the intention of harming others. The situation is becoming more and more complicated now, and His Majesty's attitude towards the General's Mansion will also affect other people. In order not to be regarded as an abandoned child by His Majesty, our family will do whatever it takes to No matter what the situation, we have to work together.”

Wan Shufang deliberately emphasized the tone of the last sentence, and her expression became very heavy.

After she knew that the prince and Chen Changli had other plans and were going to take action, she was both happy and looking forward to it.

However, the emperor caught them off guard, Chen Changli was trapped in Luoyang City, and the prince was also lured back.

The queen was eyeing the prince at this moment, and Wan Shufang had many things in her heart.

She didn't care what the children might do, so she could only try her best to protect them so that they didn't have to be afraid.

"Mom, we didn't do anything. We just cooperated with Yun Qiongying to inquire about information from some noble ladies." Chen Xiyun felt very ashamed after listening to Wan Shufang's words. "We are incompatible with those noble ladies, so we don't intend to continue to cooperate with Yun Qiongying." Qiongying."

When she said this, she bit her lip unconsciously, a blush crept up her cheeks, and her voice softened a lot: "After we discussed it, we felt that the guests coming and going in the restaurant could also provide some information when chatting, so we specially told the waiters Record this information, and then we will compile the important information into a book and give it to Yun Qiongying."

She held Wan Shufang's hand tightly and said in a very urgent tone: "That's what we did. As for the consequences of this, we also guessed it, but we don't regret it."

Wang Xiaohui nodded quickly: "We also wanted to share the worries of our family, so we did this. Mom, if you are angry, just be angry with me. Don't blame Xiyun."

Wan Shufang rewarded her with a chestnut: "Just because I didn't ask means I guessed it. Since I guessed what you were doing and I didn't intend to stop it, can't you just keep hiding it?"
