The mistress of the Hou family went crazy after doting on concubines and killing their wives.

Chapter 232: The Orphan of Yongcheng Marquis

In the carriage, Qin Wan secretly looked at Xie Zhiyan who was thinking with his head down opposite her. The outline of his face was a bit similar to Yan Yunhe, but the overall look was different.

If Xie Zhiyan didn't reveal his cold eyes, he would be a gentle young man.

Xie Zhiyan was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised his eyes.

Qin Wan was startled and hurriedly turned her eyes away, but then felt that it was too deliberate, so she turned her eyes back awkwardly and smiled: "What are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?"

"I have something important to hide from you." Xie Zhiyan said slowly.

Just now, he had been thinking that if he confessed his true identity, there would be no need for them to divorce, because he was not Xie Zhiyan.

Qin Wan was not surprised, because everyone has some secrets.

"You can say it if you want to. It doesn't matter if you don't want to. Anyway, we are just cooperating."

Xie Zhiyan's eyelids twitched and he glanced at her quickly.

The girl's face was calm and her eyes were clear, and she didn't seem to be lying.

There's a piece missing in my heart for some unknown reason, as if the burden deep in my heart has been lifted, but I still feel a little depressed.

The clasped hands tightened: "You will know everything when you get to the Grand Princess's Mansion."

It's all up to her to decide.

Even if she chose to leave, he would protect her. At least he could take her back to Jiyang and send her to her relatives.

The carriage drove very fast and arrived at the Princess's Palace in a quarter of an hour, still entering through the side door.

Feng Wenjun, her mother and her two sons were all there. When they saw Qin Wan and Li Yuyi, they ran over. Qin Wan bowed to Feng Wenjun and Li Haoyu.

Li Yuyi didn't wait for her to get up, and grabbed her and blamed her: "Why are you here at this time?"

"What? Sister, you don't want to see me?" Qin Wan looked aggrieved.

"Sister Wan'er, haven't you heard about what happened in the court? Your elder sister is worried that you will be implicated." Li Haoyu hurriedly explained.

"I'm worried about my aunt and sister."

"The situation has been tense lately. You really shouldn't have come." Feng Wenjun also took her other hand.

Xie Zhiyan stepped forward and saluted: "I greet the Queen, the Crown Prince, and the Princess."

Li Yuyi and Feng Wenjun exclaimed in unison when they first saw his face: "Xie Zhiyan!"

"Yes, I am your humble servant."

Li Yuyi was so surprised that she held Qin Wan's hand tightly, complaining: "When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me?"

"I just found out about it too." Qin Wan lowered her head.

Li Haoyu quickly glanced at Qin Wan, and when he saw that there was no other expression on her face, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She was also happy for the two of them and said with a smile, "Sister Wan'er, the clouds have finally cleared and the moon is shining. Your husband is back, and we are all happy."

Just now, Li Haoyu told them that someone would take action to resolve the impeachment issue, and someone would come to explain how to do it soon.

Neither Feng Wenjun nor Li Yuyi thought that Xie Zhiyan was still alive, and both were happy for Qin Wan.

But Feng Wenjun saw that Qin Wan was a little shy, but did not show any intimacy with Xie Zhiyan, knowing that they were not yet at the level of husband and wife.

She patted Qin Wan's hand and whispered, "Just follow your heart. It's okay."

Qin Wan suddenly felt relieved and nodded towards Feng Wenjun gratefully.

"Let's talk business." Xie Zhiyan became serious.

Several people looked at him.

All the servants left, leaving only the four of them in the room.

Xie Zhiyan suddenly walked up to Feng Wenjun, lifted his robe, knelt down, and solemnly bowed to Feng Wenjun.

Everyone was shocked.

Feng Wenjun's heart skipped a beat and she was about to speak.

"Feng Min pays respects to his aunt."

"What did you say? Who are you?" Feng Wenjun was shocked and stunned.

Li Yuyi's face changed drastically. She grabbed her mother and stared at the man kneeling on the ground: "You are...Feng Min's cousin?"

Xie Zhiyan raised his bloodshot eyes, smiled with bitterness and sorrow, and nodded slowly.

"Yes, I am Feng Min, I am not dead. It was the wife of Marquis Wen of Jin who saved me and raised me."

Li Haoyu looked confused: "Aunt? Feng Min? Xie Zhiyan, what are you doing?"

Qin Wan was shocked. Feng Min? Feng Min? Could it be the second son of Yongcheng Hou who was captured by the enemy and threatened Yongcheng Hou and the former crown prince to surrender?

No wonder, no wonder he just said that he had hidden something important from her, it turned out...

Feng Wenjun was so excited that she quickly held his elbow and said, "Child, get up, get up quickly!"

Xie Zhiyan stood up, his eyes dark, he suppressed the turbulent waves in his eyes, and choked up and said: "Aunt, please forgive my nephew for concealing the crime."

Feng Wenjun's heart was broken, she grabbed his arm tightly, stared at his face that looked like her brother, her heart was blocked, she had thousands of words to say, but she couldn't say a word for a long time. No wonder, she always had a good impression of Xie Zhiyan and never doubted his kindness to Li Haoyu.

It turns out that this is the family affection inherited through blood!

Li Yuyi and Feng Min have known each other since childhood. They are of similar age and played together when they were young.

When she was three years old, she suddenly saw her mother fainted in the palace due to crying. When she woke up, she told her little cousin that he had been captured and might not come back. She was so scared that she burst into tears.

After that, my uncle and brother died in battle.

During those dark and sad days, she stayed by her mother's side, and they spent many days and nights hugging and crying together.

When she grew up, she understood more clearly that her uncle's family had no bloodline and no descendants.

Unexpectedly, the person who had always been by my brother's side and supporting him was actually my little cousin.

Her heart was filled with mixed feelings, as if a bottle of five flavors had been overturned. Suddenly, she remembered something and looked at Qin Wan.

I inexplicably feel that this is fate.

The sister she loved the most actually married her own cousin.

Isn't this a closer relationship?

Xie Zhiyan slowly turned his head and looked at Qin Wan: "Miss Qin..."

Feng Wenjun came back to her senses, quickly let go of her hand, and looked at Qin Wan.

Qin Wan was being stared at by six pairs of eyes, full of eager anticipation, worry, expectation, uneasiness and apology.

She understands it all.

Qin Wan's eyes moistened. She took a step forward and said sincerely, "No matter who you are, whether you are Xie Zhiyan, Yan Yunhe or Feng Min, you are you. In the past few months, you protected me and helped me to get revenge. Now, our goals are really the same."

Feng Min raised his lips, he was not mistaken about the person.

Feng Wenjun was excited: "Okay, we are a family now, we are all a family now."

The four of them were so excited that tears were streaming down their cheeks. When they calmed down, Feng Min gestured, "Aunt, let's sit down and talk."

The four of them sat down, and three pairs of eyes stared at Feng Min.

Feng Min smiled: "I will still appear as Xie Zhiyan. Auntie still thinks of me as Prince Xie."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. You say." Feng Wenjun's hands were still shaking.

How could she not be excited that her brother had a successor?

Xie Zhiyan quickly gave a rough outline of how he had been through these years.

It turned out that the 200,000-strong army led by Marquis Yongcheng and the former crown prince was misled by someone and fell into an ambush. After fighting hard for half a month, they had no reinforcements and no military supplies. In the end, only two thousand people were left, and most of them were injured.

They all knew there was no going back.

Marquis Yongcheng then selected ten of his most elite and trusted guards who had sworn allegiance to him and formed their death squad. In the middle of the night, they chose the most dangerous cliffs to climb up to the enemy camp, and then charged into the camp to capture Feng Min. In the end, only two of the death squad were left, and they were sent to Bian Jing overnight.

After knowing that Feng Min was out of danger, Marquis Yongcheng and the former crown prince fought madly with the determination to die. Their only 2,000 remaining men killed 50,000 enemy soldiers until the last one died in battle, and no one took a step back.

The two assassins were Cang Lang and Cang Feng.

After they quietly entered the capital, they discovered that this battle was a deliberate frame-up with the purpose of killing the men of the Marquis' family and the former crown prince. Neither of them dared to bring Feng Min back to Marquis Yongcheng easily.

Moreover, they were unable to enter the palace at that time. The palace seemed to have blocked the queen's sight, and they had no way of passing any message in.

When they were helpless, they happened to meet Duke Wen of Jin and his wife, who were on their way back to the capital with their young prince, when they encountered bandits. The young prince was unfortunately killed, and both of them were also seriously injured. It was Canglang and his companions who rescued them.

Later, Duke Wen of Jin and his wife learned that he was Feng Min, and resolutely took him in and raised him as their crown prince.

Cang Feng quietly returned to the battlefield, gathered several scattered generals, and rescued a dozen people.

They all secretly sneaked back to Bian Jing, using the property left by Wu'an Hou to secretly guard Feng Min.

Duke Wen of Jin and his wife never asked Feng Min to forget his identity, and they secretly helped him build his power.

Since he was three years old, he knew that to avenge the unjust deaths of his soldiers, father and brothers, it was not enough to just kill the enemies.

The entire court must be rectified to avoid more unjust deaths.

Thank you Hua Meitang for the reward, love you.

I was not feeling well yesterday, so I will make up for it today.
