After hearing Xu Shihuan's words, the emperor couldn't hold back his anger. He immediately called his father-in-law who was waiting outside the palace and asked him to bring Duan Qinglian, the third prince's concubine, over for questioning. But after waiting for a long time, Duan Qinglian did not come, but Queen Mother Shen did.

"Your Majesty, the third prince's concubine Duan Qinglian has just been diagnosed with three months' pregnancy and is currently taking tonics to rest. Why are you suddenly questioning her?"

The Queen Mother looked displeased, and she obviously valued the child in Duan Qinglian's belly very highly. She was just about to say a few more words, but she found Xu Shihuan standing in the hall.

"The humble minister Xu Shihuan meets the Queen Mother."

Seeing Xu Shihuan here, the Queen Mother's face looked better. She asked a few questions about Guan Shanyue's situation, and then turned the topic to Duan Qinglian.

"Shihuan, why did the emperor want to question Duan Qinglian? Could it be that you asked something from the Wen family's mouths?"

Seeing Xu Shihuan nodded, he told Duan Qinglian that she was a descendant of the Wen family. When she heard that Duan Qinglian was responsible for the third prince's illness, the Queen Mother looked exhausted and weak.

"Why do you children have anything to do with the Wen family? Shihuan, your husband Wen Yidi will return to Yong'an City in a few days. Such a big thing happened to the Wen family, and you personally interrogated the Wen family. You Can you two continue to live together like this?"

Hearing this, Xu Shihuan quickly turned his head and looked at the emperor, wanting the emperor to personally explain to the Queen Mother that Wen Yidi was not involved in the Wen family's affairs this time.

"Mother, before the Wen family rebelled, Wen Yidi came to see me. He selected more than twenty young shopkeepers of the Wen family, saying that he was willing to serve the imperial court and the Wanhua Kingdom, and did not want to interfere with the rest of the Wen family. Together."

"He is lying! Your Majesty, you have also seen that from you, to Jiayi, and now Yunfeng and Yunli, who has not been plotted by the Wen family? In my opinion, it is better to kill all the Wen family never mind!"

The Queen Mother said harsh words, but the Emperor was still hesitant:

"Mother, if there is no Wen family, who will do the business in this world? Who will earn the money that Wanhua Kingdom needs every year?"

After hearing this, the Queen Mother also got angry:

"The late emperor was like this, and you are like this now. It's precisely because you always feel that you can't live without the Wen family that the Wen family is so unscrupulous! I still don't believe it. Without the Wen family, no one will do business in this world?"

Seeing that the two of them were quarreling more and more fiercely, Xu Shihuan quickly spoke to persuade them. If the quarrel continues like this, the emperor may really listen to the Queen Mother and kill everyone in the Wen family. Once these words are spoken, Wen Yidi's life will be in danger.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, please listen to me. There are ambitious people in the Wen family, as well as business talents. If the Wen family is completely wiped out on impulse, who will dare to be a businessman in the future? Even if he does, , I’m afraid he’s planning something in his heart.”

Speaking of this, Xu Shihuan hesitated, wondering whether he should tell Wen Yidi's life experience directly. Sensing the probing look in the emperor's eyes, she did not dare to delay any longer and said immediately:

"Also, it's about Wen Yidi. That day, when I interrogated Diao Yingxue, she probably felt that there was no hope for the Wen family to turn around, so she told me something that the Wen family had done many years ago."

"Wen Yidi is not a child of the Wen family, but one they brought from elsewhere. As long as the imperial merchant is not a biological child of the Wen family, they will not be constrained by blood and will not have any concerns when planning."

For the Queen Mother, this is rare good news today. However, before she could put on a better expression, she heard the emperor's voice:

"Oh? Then did she say whose bloodline Wen Yidi is from? Is there any evidence to prove his life experience?"

Xu Shihuan's heart trembled, and his subconscious reaction was to deny:

"Back to the emperor, the criminal Diao Yingxue did not say this, nor did he provide any evidence."

After hearing Xu Shihuan's words, the emperor said in a disdainful tone:

"I'm not sure. This is another Wen family's plan. After all, Wen Yidi is the eldest son of the Wen family. When death was about to happen, Diao Yingxue still wanted to save his son's life."

As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother seemed to be awakened by cold water and returned to her cold appearance. She glanced at Xu Shihuan and said softly:

"Shihuan, the Aijia and the Emperor have something to say. If you have nothing else to do, please step aside first."

Lying in front of the emperor and the queen mother made Xu Shihuan panic. Seeing that the Queen Mother had given him a chance to leave, Xu Shihuan did not dare to hesitate and said yes quickly.

On the way out of the palace, Xu Shihuan sorted out the confusing things in his mind one by one, and secretly made up his mind. She wanted to have a serious talk with Wen Yidi before deciding what to do next.

At the moment, the only thing she is sure of is that she needs some time to accept that her husband has changed from a lowly businessman to the only flesh and blood of the eldest princess.

If Wen Yidi can remain unchanged, that would be the best. If his mood changed after learning about his life experience, Xu Shihuan would understand.

However, she really couldn't live a life like this when she was allowed to stay in the house, have children, and even compete with several concubines for her husband's favor. If Wen Yidi insists on this, Xu Shihuan doesn't mind giving him a divorce note, and the two of them will have nothing to do with each other from now on.

Within a few days, the Wen family members who were imprisoned in the sky prison were convicted of being disrespectful to the royal family, and were executed at the execution ground three days later at 3:00 noon. As for the Wen family members scattered across the country, the emperor spared their lives for their hard work.

But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. Just today, the imperial merchant Wen Yidi rushed back to Yong'an City with dozens of young shopkeepers from the Wen family, waiting for the emperor's punishment.

Under the watchful eyes of the people, Wen Yidi led a group of people back to Yong'an City. I don’t know who started the coaxing, but those people actually took rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves and smashed them at Wen Yidi and others.

"Brother, stand behind me and walk."

Xu Shihuan was about to pick up Wen Yidi when he saw this scene in front of him. As expected, Wen Yian listened to her words and used some method to sneak out of Yong'an City and sneak into Wen Yidi's team.

As soon as he stepped in front of Wen Yidi, a rotten egg landed on his face. The black-green egg liquid flowed down the contours of his face, which was unbearable to look at.

Xu Shihuan originally wanted to step forward to stop the people's behavior, but changed his mind when he saw Wen Yi'an's painful expression. The scene in front of him was nothing to Wen Yidi, but to Wen Yian, the pampered second son of the Wen family, it was something he had never experienced before.

"Only by experiencing it personally can you truly understand how difficult your brother's life has been over the past few years."

Xu Shihuan stood there and murmured to himself.
