"I will let everyone keep today's events to themselves." Wei Bingyan said. She had to do this for Wei Longrui's future.

"Wei Bingru is a single widow who can actually reach out to Baiyue. It seems extraordinary. You should ask your son-in-law to investigate." Xiao said worriedly.

She also found this strange and had already decided to investigate thoroughly after dealing with Aunt Qiu.

"Don't worry, mother. We have a daughter." Wei Bingyan said.

Xiao nodded heavily and left with her two maids.

Wei Bingyan had no idea where the man in black took Aunt Qiu to, and she had no idea how he dealt with her. She believed that Li Yuyan's people would use a very good method to achieve her goal.

After sending Xiao away, Li Yuyan came back.

After hearing about Wei Bingyan's talk about Aunt Qiu, Li Yuyan raised his eyebrows, "...From Jinyun City? What's the relationship with the Chu family?"

"It was Wei Bingru who rescued her and then bewitched her to go to Jinyun City." Wei Bingyan said, and after she finished her story, a little confusion appeared on her face.

Li Yuyan hugged her waist, "What's wrong?"

"Wei Bingru had just been married to the Chu family for a short time, and she had no husband to rely on. She was just a lonely widow. Jinyun City is so far away from the capital, how did she save Aunt Qiu?" Wei Bingyan said confusedly. Before she got married, the villa where Aunt Qiu was imprisoned caught fire. It must have been difficult for Wei Bingru to stay in the Chu family at that time.

"Is it possible that Aunt Qiu slipped away on her own and went to Jinyun City to look for Wei Bingru? Or was found by Wei Bingru's people later?" Li Yuyan said.

Wei Bingyan curled her lips slightly, "It doesn't matter how she escaped, but we still have to investigate. I suspect Wei Bingru has connections with some people in the capital."

Li Yuyan nodded slightly, "I'll ask someone to check it out carefully."

The two chatted for a while. Bai Binghui and the others had already prepared dinner. After dinner, Li Yuyan took Wei Bingyan to the small garden to stroll around and digest the food.

The summer in Baiyue is cooler than that in the capital. Wei Bingyan was enjoying the gentle breeze when she suddenly thought of the scene of a magnificent golden building on the street in broad daylight.

Thinking of what this maid from Chengyang said...

"Aren't you socializing tonight?" She asked with a smile, holding Li Yuyan's arm intimately.

Seeing Wei Bingyan's sweet and sly smile, Li Yuyan paused inwardly, "Originally there was a banquet, but I didn't go."

Wei Bingyan smiled faintly as she looked at his handsome and elegant face. Over the past two years, he had become more mature, steady and down-to-earth. His physique was more solid and robust than that of an average talented man, and his style was unique, which always attracted the attention of many young ladies. The more she was with him, the more she felt a warm, comfortable sense of security.

Being good-looking...is not a beautiful thing.

"Have you met Miss Cheng Yang today?" Wei Bingyan asked with a smile.

After he went to warn the woman in the early morning not to challenge his patience again, he hadn't seen her since. Could it be that she didn't listen to his advice and did something else?

"I saw him once in the early morning, and he left in less than a minute." Li Yuyan replied carefully.

"I met her in Jinlou today. As expected, she is a disaster for the country and the people. How come she didn't charm you to death?" Wei Bingyan asked with a playful look.

Li Yuyan smiled and approached her face, "I'm already fascinated by my junior sister, how can anyone else catch my eye?"

Wei Bingyan snorted, not moved by his sweet talk at all. "I had just entered the brothel when she followed me in. Is she really just an ordinary prostitute? She doesn't look like one to me, but is there someone behind her instigating her to get close to you?"

"Who else could it be except the Gong family?" Li Yuyan said calmly.

"Li Xiaoshi was also given to Wei Zhong sincerely by the Gong family..." Wei Bingyan frowned. The Gong family really had good intentions. All the sons-in-law of Mount Tai used the same trick of using beauty to lure Wei Zhong away.

Li Yuyan said, "We will be able to deal with Cheng Yang soon. Don't be impatient because of her."

Wei Bingyan said angrily, "I don't have the time and elegance to bother her. She has you, Little Li, as her backer, how dare I offend her? I'm afraid no one in the entire Baiyue City dares to offend her now."

Perhaps all the people in Baiyue City knew that Lord Li had a mistress outside, but she was the only one who was kept in the dark.

Thinking of this, Wei Bingyan felt unhappy deep down. Although she knew that Li Yuyan was doing this for official business, she still felt angry.

Li Yuyan felt a headache and sighed in his heart, regretting that he should not have thought of using Cheng Yang to explore the unknown secrets of the Gong and Fang families. Now his junior sister was always moody towards him, which made him feel so embarrassed.

“Junior sister, listen to me…” Seeing Wei Bingyan let go of his hand and walked back into the house, Li Yuyan hurriedly followed her, fearing that he would have to spend some time and effort tonight.

……

In a blink of an eye, the fifteenth day of early summer has passed and the weather is getting hotter day by day. Fortunately, there are many light raindrops in Baiyue City, otherwise Wei Bingyan would not be able to bear such a climate.

No one was told to A Rui about Aunt Qiu's affairs. The people who knew the inside story were all close confidants of Xiao and Wei Bingyan. They knew the severity of the matter and how could they dare to leak a word?

Wei Longrui's health had improved. After recuperating at home for fifteen days, he returned to college.

Ah Sheng had been with Ah Rui almost every day for the past fifteen days. Seeing his brother was leaving him, he suddenly burst into tears. It took Xiao and Wei Bingyan a long time to comfort him before he finally stopped crying. With tears in his eyes, he looked at Ah Rui with his bright eyes washed by tears.

A Rui couldn't help but hold his hand with a smile on his face, and said that he would buy him some candy if he came back.

How could the child understand what the little man candy was? He just looked at the movements in Arui's hands and guessed that it was the sweet thing he got last time, so his sadness turned into joy.

Wei Bingyan personally escorted A Rui outside.

"Sister, you should go back. It's very hot outside. Don't stay out here." Wei Longrui turned and spoke to Wei Bingyan. His face had gradually grown up, and his soft eyebrows were neither thick nor thin. Except for his eyes, which looked like Aunt Qiu, he looked very much like Wei Zhong.

In two years, Arei will be a handsome man.

Wei Bingyan looked at A Rui, who was almost as tall as her, and thought of the little boy who had rushed into her arms and called her sister in a coquettish voice two years ago when he saw her. He has grown up...

"Ah Rui, I know you feel bad. You are still young and you can't see the whole picture. I want to argue with you, but I don't know where to start. You are a kind-hearted child. You will understand how helpless your mother and sister are... I am very happy to see that you and Ah Sheng have such a deep brotherly love."

Wei Bingyan dismissed everyone around her and spoke softly to Wei Longrui.
