Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 432 I Knew It Already (Update )
Xiao Jiayi has been waiting here for a long time.

After hearing that Xiao Chengxuan was in trouble, her first reaction was to go to the palace to plead with her father, but she was stopped by Xie Anjun.

At this time, it would be useless for anyone to go, and it would only cause trouble for themselves.

Xiao Jiayi was persuaded by him and finally suppressed her anger. She secretly sent people to inquire about the conditions of Xiao Chengxuan and her mother, while waiting for Xie Pei to come back in the mansion.

Xie Pei slightly turned sideways to avoid her kneeling, frowned, and glanced at the servant behind her with a warning.

"How did you take care of them?"

The servant hurried forward to help Xiao Jiayi up.

"Madam, the ground is cold. You'd better get up first! What if you get frozen?"

Xiao Jiayi refused to move, and looked up with tears in her eyes.

"Dad, you are the only one who can help him now. Don't you want to help him?"

Xie Pei was also feeling very upset.

"The imperial decree has been issued. Besides, even Lord Jiang was unable to persuade the emperor today, let alone others?"

Xiao Jiayi naturally knew who this Lord Jiang was referring to.

She bit her lips tightly, feeling desolate and desperate in her heart.

"Cheng Xuan has always been very sensible in what he does. How, how could he make such a mistake? There must be a mistake. Someone must have framed him!"

Xie Pei was already in a bad mood, and he became even more annoyed when he heard her say that.

He said coldly: "In front of His Majesty and all the civil and military officials, with multiple testimonies and irrefutable evidence, you said he was wronged. Are you questioning the Dali Temple or the Censorate? "

Xiao Jiayi suddenly woke up.

"I, I didn't..."

Although she was a princess, she didn't dare to say such words openly.

What’s more, even Xiao Chengxuan had been dealt with, who knew if it would be her turn?
But he was her own brother after all, so it was impossible for her to just ignore it.

If not for this, she would not have lost face and waited here for so long.

"I just want to know if there is any misunderstanding here..."

"Someone will investigate the case. It's not something that can be influenced by a few words from me." Xie Pei interrupted her, apparently quite impatient.

In fact, he had long been dissatisfied with this precious princess.

If she hadn't secretly instigated, Xie Anjun would never have tried to send someone to contact Xu Jie and get involved with Xiao Chengxuan.

Today, Xu Fengchi handed in a thick testimony from Xu Jie. I don't know if Xie Anjun is involved in it...

In the court, everyone's attention was on Xiao Chengxuan, but Xie Pei understood that a man like Xu Jie would not have clean subordinates.

God knows how many more people Xu Jie will drag into this!
Now everyone can't wait to cut ties with Xiao Chengxuan, and Xie Pei is no exception.

It's a pity that there is such a princess in the mansion. I'm afraid it's impossible to get rid of her no matter what...

Xie Pei already had a plan in mind, but he didn't want to be too drastic in front of these people.

He took a deep breath and slowed down his tone: "Don't worry about it for now, I'll think of a solution."

After receiving this promise, Xiao Jiayi was happy even though she knew the hope was slim.

"Thank you dad!"

Xie Pei waved his hand: "Okay, you should go back early. Stay in the mansion for the next few days and spend more time with Lin'er."

After all, she is a decent woman. As long as she is not involved in Xiao Chengxuan's affairs, there is still room for maneuver.

Xiao Jiayi finally left with red eyes.

Xie Pei frowned and asked, "Where's An Jun?"

The servant replied tremblingly, "Since you scolded me the other day, I have been shutting myself in and reflecting on myself, and have not come out since."

Xie Pei became even more angry.

What introspection!
I'm just afraid of being scolded by him again!
He is really capable. He even let his wife come to him for help!

He was really disappointed by such cowardice!
The more Xie Pei thought about it, the angrier he became. He took a few steps and then suddenly stopped.

"Where's the second brother? Where did he go to have fun again!?"...

"Ah sneeze——!"

Xie Anbai sneezed suddenly.

"Who is talking about me again?"

He was very resentful: "It's true that I haven't been to Chunfeng Tower for a long time. It's my fault that I left the girls alone in their empty rooms... I'm sure they don't remember me after being gone for so long!"

Shen Yanchuan didn't even raise his head: "Think positively, maybe the Loyal and Brave Marquis is looking for you."

Xie Anbai: "..."

He looked at Shen Yanchuan with a complicated expression: "How big is my brain that I would be friends with someone like you?"

Shen Yanchuan finally put down his pen and raised his eyes: "If you want to break up now, I can help you."

Xie Anbai: "..."

Sometimes people have to learn to accept their fate, otherwise it’s easy to become depressed.

He leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and snorted.

"Whatever you want, do it. Wouldn't that mean I would lose all my dignity?"

Shen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows.

With Xie Anbai's temper, he would usually leave after saying this, but today he didn't move.

Have you made up your mind... that you don't want to go back to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion?
"Although the government is in turmoil today, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is not involved much, so it is estimated that he will not be affected too much. What are you worried about?"

Xie Anbai paused, and the cynical look on his face gradually faded away.

After a moment, he collected himself and waved his hand carelessly.

"I'm too lazy to go back. I can imagine that the beautiful lady will make a scene, so loud that it will hurt my ears."

Although he said this, Shen Yanchuan still caught the change in his expression at that moment.

Shen Yanchuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Xie Anbai has never liked his sister-in-law, but her reaction today is still a little wrong...

"what have you found?"

Xie Anbai pretended not to know: "Huh?"

Shen Yanchuan's eyes swept across his face calmly. Xie Anbai's hand holding the bone fan had already tightened due to nervousness, and his knuckles were slightly white.

There was a brief silence.

Shen Yanchuan looked at him quietly.

"Xie Anjun is also involved in this matter."

He was not asking, but stating it affirmatively.

Xie Anbai's heart was suddenly grasped by an invisible hand, thrown high up, and then fell down quickly.

After a long while, he finally seemed to have let out a long breath.

"Nothing can be hidden from you."

Shen Yanchuan's expression did not change, and he said, "You came here suddenly today, and you didn't mean to hide it, right?"

Xie Anbai closed his mouth tightly and did not deny it.

He and Shen Yanchuan have been friends for many years, and he can know what the other is thinking with just a glance.

He chose this time specifically to come here, he must have his own thoughts.

After a while, Xie Anbai slowly spoke:
"Xiao Chengxuan has repeatedly attempted to assassinate you. This grudge is irreconcilable. Anyone involved in this matter is definitely not innocent. I have nothing to say. I came here today just to tell you one thing: no matter what Xie Anjun did, it has nothing to do with this old man."

Shen Yanchuan was silent for a moment and smiled faintly.

"I know."

When Xie Anbai heard his voice, he suddenly realized something and looked up in shock.

"You-you knew that a long time ago!?"
