Newlyweds divorced: Marry a scumbag and his brother is sweet and have a baby

"Yan'er, I will be responsible for the matters of the previous generation. I don't want to involve you."

Mr. Gu thought carefully and did not tell Shen Yan the truth.

"Grandpa, do you think I can still stay away from this matter now?" Shen Yan asked.

Mr. Gu was silent.

Shen Yan continued, "This time Zhang Hongfang threatened you with me, and you were worried that that person instigated him to do it. What about next time? Instead of sitting back and waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative to fight back."

"Grandpa, I have grown up and I can protect you. Please trust me."

Mr. Gu looked at Shen Yan. This granddaughter was more courageous than him.

If he had not chosen to escape or leave with his wife, but had stayed and faced it actively, would the outcome be different now?

Perhaps, their only daughter would not have left them so early, and Shen Yan would not have suffered so much.

He is already old and doesn't know how many more years he can live, but Shen Yan is still young and she still has a long life in the future.

That person will definitely take revenge on Shen Yan for his hatred. As long as that person lives, Shen Yan will always be in danger.

Thinking of this, he did not hesitate, "Okay, I'll tell you!"

It was Shen Yan's words that woke him up.

Mr. Gu told Shen Yan all the ins and outs of the matter.

Shen Yan's face darkened, and many of his previous doubts suddenly became clear, "That's it."

"Grandpa, after I finish handling the affairs in Changyang County, you and grandma will come back to the capital with me. I will cure grandma's illness."

"I know that you have great medical skills. I didn't dare to see you before, let alone take your grandmother to see you for medical treatment. Now that you are here, your grandmother's disease has been cured."

Mr. Gu asked, "But where did your medical skills come from? I have searched all over the Qin Dynasty for famous doctors in those years, but why haven't I heard of anyone with such great medical skills?"

"My master has gone into hiding, and I only met him by chance." Shen Yan had to lie.

"I see." Mr. Gu did not continue to ask, but changed the subject, "Yan'er, do you have any clues about the murderer who destroyed the rice seedlings in Changyang County?"

"Yes." Shen Yan's eyes flashed coldly.

"Are you talking about Zhang Hongfang?" Mr. Gu asked.

"Yes, that's him." Shen Yan's voice was gentle, "Grandpa, you rest first and I'll go see him. I've already sent someone to pick up my grandmother. You can see her after you have a good rest."

"Okay." Mr. Gu suddenly felt that he was old. Shen Yan acted decisively and decisively, cautiously and thoughtfully, and was careful and bold. She was many times better than this old man like him.

However, when he thought of his blood flowing on Shen Yan's body, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

When Shen Yan came to the prison, Zhang Hongfang was lying on the ground, dying.

"Zhang Hongfang, stop pretending to be dead!" Shen Yan glanced at Yun Cheng, who directly pulled Zhang Hongfang up and leaned against the wall.

Zhang Hongfang looked at Shen Yan, not as arrogant as before, but full of fear.

The person holding the Red Sky Sword can kill him if he wants to. Even Magistrate Chen can't save him, and the person behind him will never save him again.

This time, he was dead.

"Princess Anping, have mercy on me. I couldn't see Mount Tai before, and I have offended many people." Zhang Hongfang knelt in front of Shen Yan and begged.

"Zhang Hongfang, you are well aware of the crimes you have committed. It is impossible to survive. However, if you cooperate well, I can keep your family alive."

Shen Yan threw out the temptation, "I remember your grandson has just been one month old. You don't want him to be gone without seeing the beauty of the world, right? With your grandson here, someone will visit your grave in the future. During the holidays, there will be no one in front of your grave." As for not even a candle."

Zhang Hongfang already had a picture of his grave lying alone in the wilderness in his mind.

The scene was quite miserable.

During his years as a county magistrate in Changyang County, he was domineering, eating well and drinking spicy food, and lived a very comfortable life.

When he thought about being so miserable after death, he felt extremely painful and agreed to Shen Yan without hesitation.

"How does Princess Anping want me to cooperate?"

"Who is the person behind you?" Shen Yan asked.

"Prefect Chen." Zhang Hongfang replied.

"Do you think this is the answer I want?" Shen Yan said with a cold tone, "If you cooperate like this, you won't have grandchildren to visit your grave."

Zhang Hongfang is quite superstitious. He believes that there are real ghosts in the world and is afraid that he will not be cared for by his descendants after his death.

"I'm not lying. I know there are people above Magistrate Chen, but with my status, I'm not qualified to know."

Zhang Hongfang poured out everything he knew.

"I have handed over all the things I have been greedy for over the years, and I have kept a lot for myself. Princess Anping, I am just an insignificant chess piece."

"I know that the person above has a very high status and is very powerful. He can mobilize many people. Even the destruction of the rice seedlings in Changyang County this time is related to it."

……

Zhang Hongxin was anxious and a little incoherent, but Shen Yan still understood.

That person planned the damage to Ningnan's crops in order to use her hands to kill her grandfather.

There are only a handful of people in the world who have such means and such great power.

Coupled with what her grandfather told her, she has identified the person behind it.

However, the whole thing was still suspicious. She always felt that there was another person manipulating the matter. That person was the real player, and even the people behind Magistrate Chen were pawns.

"Yuncheng, ask him to write down everything he knows and sign it."

"Yes, county lord."

After Shen Yan gave the instructions, he left the cell.

At dusk, Yun Jin took Mrs. Gu to the Yamen.

Mrs. Gu's eyes suddenly turned red when she saw Mr. Gu covered in injuries.

"Old man, you used to go out alone and come back fine. How did you end up like this this time?"

"It's okay, these are just minor injuries." Mr. Gu comforted her with a smile on his face.

Mrs. Gu pretended to be angry, "Are you covered in wounds or are they small? If you get injured again, you will die. Let's see who takes care of you!"

"Okay, I understand. I will live well and take good care of you." Mr. Gu's tone was surprisingly gentle.

Shen Yan stood at the door, seeing the warm scene in front of her, the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

An old house where a treasure.

She is so lucky to have two treasures.

"Old sir, mother-in-law." Shen Yan stepped forward and shouted with a smile.

"Yan'er." Mrs. Gu was also very happy to see Shen Yan, "Why do you still call her mother-in-law? Shouldn't you call her grandma?"

"...?" Shen Yan looked surprised.

Mr. Gu looked panicked.

"Do you really think I have lost my memory? I was just pretending." Mrs. Gu said.

There were no outsiders in the room, and Mrs. Gu didn't cover up her words.

"I can only pretend to have amnesia. You will not go too far to take care of me, nor will you seek revenge. This way you will be safe."

Mrs. Gu looked at Mr. Gu, "Old man, you don't blame me for lying to you for so many years, do you?"

"No, no." Mr. Gu cried with joy.

"Yan'er, I'm sorry. I haven't visited you in these years. Only if I don't visit you will you be safe and your grandfather will be safe too." Mrs. Gu held Shen Yan's hand, her face full of guilt.

"Grandma, you've worked hard." Shen Yan was moved.

Her close relatives are protecting her in their own way.

"So, grandma, have you recognized me a long time ago?"

Mrs. Gu nodded, "I was very suspicious when I first saw you. Then when I heard your name, I knew it was you."

"The rice seedlings in Changyang County have gone bad for so long and no one has taken care of them. Suddenly a girl came to take care of the rice seedlings. Her surname is my family's, her first name is the same as my granddaughter's, and she is so similar to my daughter. How can there be such a coincidence in the world? Something about?"

Mrs. Gu said, "Besides, you were born by my daughter, and my blood is flowing on your body. How can I not recognize you?"

That day, she heard the conversation between Mr. Gu and Shen Yan outside the door.

"Grandma, I'm sorry that I didn't recognize you right away."

It turned out that Mrs. Gu was the first person to discover her identity.

This is the power of blood and family ties.

"No need to apologize, child, you have suffered so much over the years. It is the grudges of our older generation that have harmed you."

Mrs. Gu saw that Shen Yan and Mr. Gu had recognized each other. According to Shen Yan's intelligence, she must have learned about what happened back then from Mr. Gu.

"What happened this time must be related to that person. Back then, we just tolerated it, thinking that we would be fine if we escaped far away. Unexpectedly, after so many years, that person still wouldn't let us go."

Mrs. Gu's face turned cold, her kindness and gentleness disappeared, replaced by a strong murderous intent.

She had worries before, but now that she has recognized Shen Yan, she might as well face it openly.

"I just interrogated Zhang Hongfang, and that person is the murderer behind the scenes."

Shen Yan asked Mrs. Gu, "Grandma, are you willing to come back to Beijing with me?"

"Of course I do. It's been many years and it's time to visit your mother. She must be very lonely out there alone." Mrs. Gu's eyes instantly turned red when she mentioned her daughter.

"Okay, after I handle the things here, I will take you back to Beijing." Shen Yan looked at Yun Jin, "Send someone to protect my grandfather and grandmother."

"Yes, county lord."

"Grandpa, grandma, you guys talk first, and I'll go handle the official business."

"Okay, you go to work."

Watching Shen Yan leave, Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu looked at each other, their eyes filled with relief.

"Old man, our Yan'er has grown up and looks more and more like Wan'er."

"Yes, it's just a pity that Wan'er didn't see it." Mr. Gu sighed.

"Wan'er is not here, we have to protect Yan'er for her. If one day Yan'er is in danger, I will risk my life." Mrs. Gu looked firm.

"You don't need to risk your life. I'm here. I'm a man. If you have to risk your life, it's me." Mr. Gu's eyes were full of sharpness.

Sometimes escaping is not the best way. For the sake of your family, you have to stand up bravely.

Shen Yan wrote the letter and sent it to the capital using Gu Luan.

night.

Shen Yan accompanied Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu to dinner.

"Yan'er, how does the prince treat you?" Mrs. Gu asked.

"Very good." Shen Yan's voice was gentle, "He and I have known each other since we were very young. Before I left the capital and went to the countryside, he was always protecting me."

"That's good." Mrs. Gu said, "Princess Zhennan is a very good person, and the son she teaches will definitely be good."

Mr. Gu also spoke, "It is true. The King of Zhennan is strong-willed, affectionate and righteous, so his bloodline must not be inferior to that of ordinary people."

"Grandpa, grandma, are you familiar with King Zhennan and Princess Zhennan?" Shen Yan remembered the secret Shen Jianzhang told before.

"Not only are we familiar with each other, but we are also very good friends." Mr. Gu said.

"Yan'er, I heard that the prince led troops to fight?" Mrs. Gu asked.

It has been nearly two months since Xie Huaijing led his troops on the expedition, and the news has already spread.

"Yes, Grandma."

"Is there any news?" Mrs. Gu asked.

"Not yet." Shen Yan hid her sadness. According to Xie Huaijing's character, he should have written to her long ago.

But for so long, she had no news from him.

"Sometimes no news is the best news, don't worry." Madam Gu comforted her softly. She brought some food to Shen Yan, "Eat more, you have a heavy burden and your health is important."

Shen Yan pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay, grandma."

After everyone finished eating, Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu went to rest.

When Shen Yan came to the Yamen, Yuncheng came with someone carrying a pile of documents.

"Princess, these are the records of Changyang County over the years. We have flagged any problems."

"Okay, put it here." Shen Yan asked Yuncheng, "Is there no news about the crown prince yet?"

"No." Yun Cheng knew that Shen Yan was worried about Xie Huaijing, "My subordinates have ordered the people in the capital to let them know immediately if there is any news about the heir apparent."

Shen Yan nodded. Although he was worried, he also believed in Xie Huaijing.

The situation in front of her didn't allow her to have too many bad emotions. She calmed down and immersed herself in reading the information.

At this time, the Acropolis.

"Your Majesty, the enemy is attacking again!" Lin Xiaoliu ran in from outside and reported loudly.

Previously, there was a crisis in the border area, saying that only one city was lost.

When Xie Huaijing and the others arrived at the border, they discovered that two cities had been lost.

Xie Huaijing advocated attacking Yiliang City first. Yiliang City has an important geographical location. If Yiliang City is defended, Beili will have no chance to move forward.

Nan Bancang advocated attacking Pinghua City, which was easier to defeat than Yiliang City.

When the two sides reached a stalemate, the two acted separately.

In the end, Xie Huaijing captured Yiliang City, but Nan Bancang did not take back Pinghua City.

Beili was unwilling to give in and attacked Yiliang City repeatedly.

"I said that we should have taken back Pinghua City first, otherwise we wouldn't be like now, with Beili attacking the city every two days." Nan Bancang looked dissatisfied.

"If we hadn't guarded Yiliang City, Nanyang, and Xihe would have been lost. Has General Nan considered the consequences?" Xie Huaijing asked coldly.

Nan Bancang's face turned red and he was speechless to refute.

He was also a veteran who had experienced hundreds of battles, so it was impossible for him not to understand the meaning of Xie Huaijing's words.

It's just that in this battle, he deliberately suppressed Xie Huaijing. He didn't want Xie Huaijing to have any credit.

He wanted to tell Emperor Xuande that Xie Huaijing was mediocre, incompetent and unreliable. The Great Qin royal family could only survive by relying on their family.

So when Xie Huaijing first proposed taking back Yiliang City, guarding this barrier, and ensuring the safety of other cities in Da Qin, he put forward the opposite opinion.
