The Wen family's parents instantly turned red with anger. They were about to scold Wen Yian for making arbitrary decisions, but Wen Yian pulled him aside and leaned into their ears and whispered:

"Father, mother, I think you two are quite shrewd on weekdays. Why are you so confused at the critical moment? You two really believe that the emperor is willing to agree to the Wen family because of his brother's sacrifice for His Highness the Crown Prince. Request?”

Hearing this, the couple instantly started to murmur in their hearts. Yes, the Wen family has been dealing with the royal family for more than a day or two. There has never been such a smooth time. Unless someone said something in front of the emperor in advance.

Seeing that his parents' attitude had relaxed, Wen Yi'an quickly turned around and glanced at his brother, signaling him to calm down. Then, he stepped forward again and whispered in his parents' ears:

"My brother is doing business in Hezhou this time, and Hezhou is now the territory of the Xu family and the Guan family. According to my guess, the emperor plans to reward my brother heavily this time for the sake of the Xu family and the Guan family."

At the mention of this, Mr. Wen's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered that the emperor had just mentioned Xu Shihuan's name to him. Originally, he was still hesitating whether the emperor wanted to use the Wen family's hand to give the prime minister a warning, but he would offend the prime minister by agreeing rashly.

But now that he thought about it carefully, he suddenly realized that this marriage might really have been requested by the Prime Minister. If this is the case, by making an independent decision just now, I have completely offended the Prime Minister's Office.

"Yi An, what you said makes sense, but now that the matter has come to this, what can our Wen family do?"

What Wen Yian was waiting for was his father's words, and he said with a solemn expression:

"Then do as I say and give the mine near Hezhou to my brother..."

"No! Are you crazy?"

Mrs. Wen suddenly interrupted. She glanced at Wen Yidi who was standing far away, lowered her voice and said:

"That mine is for you to use as an escape route. Neither the Wen family nor the Emperor knows that there is a mine there."

Wen Yi'an smiled bitterly and said helplessly:

"Father, Mom, do you think it is possible to mine that mine without alerting anyone given the current situation of our family?"

"If this mine is left in my hands, not only will it not be able to play any role, it will also cause hidden dangers. Rather than letting me guard it, it is better to hand it over to my brother and let the Prime Minister pay more attention to him."

The couple was silent for a moment, and still said uneasily:

"But, after all, he is not from our Wen family..."

Wen Yian quickly raised his finger to his mouth, made a shushing gesture, and whispered:

"Yes, so what if it's not? In the eyes of outsiders, he is our Wen family, and we will always be tied together."

It was Master Wen who made up his mind first, nodded slowly, sighed and said:

"Now that you have made up your mind, your mother and I won't care. You can discuss it with him."

After saying that, Mr. Wen took his wife's hand, and the two of them walked back to the room with heavy steps. Wen Yian breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly turned around to find Wen Yidi.

Wen Yidi had a sullen face, not knowing what he was thinking. He was obviously extremely disappointed in the Wen family. There was no other way, Wen Yian could only muster up the courage to say:

"Brother, please go back to your room with me first. It's not convenient to say some things here."

"Oh? You've had enough of acting here. Are you ready to continue acting somewhere else?"

Although Wen Yidi was sarcastic, he still followed Wen Yian's footsteps and walked into Wen Yian's room.

"Close the door!"

Wen Yi'an ordered his brother and got under the bed, seeming to be looking for something. When Wen Yidi closed the door, she found that he had taken out all the things stuffed under the bed, and said breathlessly:

"Brother, give me a hand."

Wen Yidi's face was full of impatience, but he still couldn't help but walked over and helped Wen Yian push out the boxes full of things like he did when he was a child.

There was a sound, and the secret passage under Wen Yi'an's bed slowly opened. Wen Yidi quickly walked to the door and blocked it with his body to prevent anyone from suddenly breaking in.

After a while of rummaging, Wen Yian finally found what he was looking for. He first closed the secret room, then crawled out from under the bed, then stuffed all the boxes he had just pushed back under the bed, and then he freed his hand to call Wen Yidi over.

"When will you change this stinky habit? Since there are things under the bed, can't you clean it regularly?"

Wen Yidi couldn't help but frown when he saw that there was dust everywhere on his body, and even his face had dark marks. He took out a handkerchief from his arms, threw it into the basin to wet it, and then breathed on Wen Yi'an's face.

"Brother, brother, brother, I will do it by myself, I will do it by myself."

Wen Yian said repeatedly, quickly took the wet handkerchief and wiped his face seriously. If this fell into my brother's hands, it would be easy for him to get red on his face, but if he didn't do it well, he would lose his skin.

After wiping his face, he wiped his hands and then took off his outer robe, revealing his inner clothes. After doing all this, he bared his two tiger teeth, smiled at Wen Yidi and said:

"Brother, you really can't blame me for this matter today. After receiving your letter a few days ago, I made full preparations to prevent my father from acting like a monster. For this reason, I woke up early today to collect all the things in the shop. If you are busy, take care of it in advance so that you can be taken care of when you come back to receive the imperial edict."

"But who knows what the emperor was thinking. Before you returned to Yong'an City, this imperial edict reached the Wen family. By the time I knew the news, my father had already entered the palace. I really had no choice."

Wen Yidi realized for the first time that his younger brother talked so much nonsense. He was very upset now, and he just wanted to go find Xu Shihuan quickly, talk to her about what had just happened, and see if there was any other way.

But Wen Yi'an kept talking at this little mouth, and it seemed that he couldn't stop it for a while. He could only tell Wen Yi'an with a straight face and actual actions that he didn't want to linger any longer.

"Cough cough."

Hearing the sound of coughing, Wen Yian suddenly realized something and quickly handed over the deed in his hand and said repeatedly:

"Brother, the mine near Hezhou is really good. I won't lie to you. It is not an ordinary silver mine, but a rare gold mine. To tell you the truth, my parents did not leave this mine to me. I have a happy birthday."

As he spoke, he leaned into Wen Yidi's ear and whispered:

"I can't tell you the details. In short, behind the scenes, the Wen family has the idea of ​​becoming emperor and reunifying. I estimate that if the Wen family continues to do this, they will not be far from annihilation."

Sensing Wen Yidi's surprised look, Wen Yian continued:

"I tried to persuade and stop, but I couldn't persuade or stop. But I suspected that the emperor had discovered the clues and was just waiting to play cat and mouse."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and hugged Wen Yidi tightly, and said in a helpless tone:

"Brother, you are not from the Wen family. If you have a chance to break up with the Wen family, then do it. For the sake of me calling you brother, when the Wen family is finished, you can burn some paper for me every year. I can’t live in poverty.”

After saying that, he held Wen Yidi's hand, stuffed the deed into Wen Yidi's arms, and then pushed him out of the door:

"Go slowly without seeing me off! Come back often when you have time!"
