General Guan's words were confirmed by Wen Yi'an. However, he only mentioned Princess Shuhui and did not mention Xu Shihuan's name.

Wen Yidi noticed this and did not mention it deliberately. After all, only a few people in the Guan family know about the matter between him and Xu Shihuan.

"So, the method they came up with is to rely on marriage?"

Wen Yidi asked rhetorically. He didn't believe that the Wen family had been planning for a long time and only came up with this solution.

"Marriage is only the first step. The child born will most likely be the bastard son and daughter of the family. With the secret help of the Wen family, the child may not be worse than the legitimate son or daughter in the future."

"When they grow up, they will spread some rumors at the right time, saying that the Wen family is in its current situation because of jealousy and fear. If the Wen family does business so well, it must be good at other things as well."

"By then, there will be very few people alive who truly know the past of the Wen family. The longer the rumors spread, the more people will believe them."

"If you want to have a place in the court, it is impossible for one person to fight alone. At that time, the blood of the Wen family flowing through them will become the best connection."

"At that time, will people still feel humble when mentioning the Wen family? Will they still feel ashamed? I am afraid that some people will sharpen their heads just to have some contact with the Wen family."

"If the person who ascends the throne in the future has the blood of the Wen family in his body, do you think he will remember the teachings of his ancestors, or will he turn a blind eye?"

After hearing this, Wen Yidi froze on the spot. He never would have imagined that the method the Wen family came up with relied not on one generation, but on the efforts of generations after generations.

"Is it really worth it?"

Hearing Wen Yidi's question, Wen Yian smiled. They were indeed brothers, and even the questions they asked after hearing the question were exactly the same.

"The crown prince of the Moon Island Kingdom has half of the Wen family's blood. When the Wen family escaped from the Moon Island Kingdom, most of them stayed here, but a small number of them fled back."

"Today, the Wen family who stayed in Yuedao Country have already become masters."

After saying this, Wen Yian stared directly into Wen Yidi's eyes, his tone was half request, half warning:

"Brother, I've told you everything I know. Just listen to me and don't look any further. Why do you think I came to you suddenly today?"

Needless to say, Wen Yidi also knew that among his men there were spies arranged by the Wen family.

"What about you? How can I be sure that what you say is true?"

Wen Yidi rarely spoke to his brother in such a tone. He knew that once these words came out, he and Wen Yi'an would never be the same again.

"Brother, you don't believe me."

Wen Yian said softly, not in a questioning tone, but in an affirmative tone. He walked around for a few steps, seeming to be trying his best to control his emotions. After a while, he calmed down, looked at Wen Yidi and said seriously:

"I didn't mean to hide it from you. I only found out about these things a year ago. How many times have you been back home in the past year? How many times have we talked alone? Brother, you should know better."

After hearing this, Wen Yidi suddenly chuckled. Seeing his reaction, Wen Yi'an felt intense uneasiness. He couldn't help but reach out and grab his brother's shirt. But Wen Yidi remained unmoved and continued to say:

"In that case, I want you to help me check something out."

"Okay, okay, whatever you want to check, I will try my best to help you."

He promised repeatedly, not wanting to become estranged from his brother because of this incident. But the next moment, what Wen Yidi said made Wen Yian completely panic.

"What I want you to help me check is my life experience. Yi An, I may... not be your biological brother."

The two just looked at each other and were silent for a long time. With a trembling voice, it came out from Wen Yian's mouth:

"Brother, don't scare me. Last time you got frostbite, I said you were not my biological child, but I was just joking..."

He couldn't believe all this and muttered something about the two of them when they were young. After Wen Yidi heard this, he felt emotional in his heart. But even so, he still had to say what needed to be said:

"Yi An, do you remember that when you were a child, people always asked if we were twins?"

"Logically speaking, we don't look much alike. I'm two years older than you, so no one should make a mistake."

Hearing what he said, Wen Yian quickly explained:

"Didn't Mom say that some people grow early and some grow late? It's precisely because of this that we look about the same age."

But Wen Yidi shook his head slowly, with a slight smile on his face. He didn't know if he was laughing at Wen Yian or at his former self.

"Then do you still remember the Jiang family? They are the family that lived behind our house when we were young."

After hearing what he said, Wen Yian was impressed. That family had no children, only an old couple. When the two of them were young, if they were bullied outside and feared that their family would find out, they would go to that house to ask for some water and simply clean up their injuries.

However, my father and mother seemed to have some objections to the Jiang family and always warned them to stay away from the Jiang family. Later, not knowing what happened, the Jiang family moved away overnight.

"The Jiang family used to be in the escort business. They often helped merchants transport goods, and they had some contact with the Wen family."

"On the way to the transportation, the Jiang family offended many people. The whole family was retaliated against, and in the end only the pair of old people were left. I met them on the way to Suwu Country this time."

What Wen Yidi said was half true and half false. The troops sent by General Guan did indeed find the Jiang family, the Wen family's old neighbors, and also inquired about the two brothers' childhood affairs on his behalf.

Although the two old men are very old, they are very clear-headed when talking about the brothers.

"The first time I met the two Wen brothers, I thought they were twins. At that time, they had just learned to walk, and the younger brother walked more steadily than the older brother."

"In addition, the clothes they are wearing are exactly the same. If they are not twins, how many of them would dress their children like this?"

"I only bumped into him once. I walked the wrong way because I was old and accidentally broke into the Wen family's backyard. Since then, I haven't seen those two children for several years. When we meet again, they will both Climbing the trees to catch birds.”

The two old people had no children to take care of them, and the money they had saved in the early years was almost spent. Coupled with the unusually cold weather, the two of them could not survive this winter after all.

Hearing the news from the Guan family, Wen Yidi didn't know whether to be happy or sad. Fortunately, some clues about his life experience finally emerged. Sadly, it was difficult to find the insider, but now there is no evidence.
