The east is rich and the south is rich. In the east of the city, most people live in deep mansions and courtyards, where nobles live. If the family did not have a title, officials of the third and fourth grades would not dare to live in Dongcheng.

Between these tall gated courtyards, there are always some relatively narrow alleys. Most of them are courtyards with two or three entrances. Usually several families live together, and most of them are respectable servants or managers who make their homes here. There is also a kind of branch lineage that is divided and rents a yard and the whole family lives in it.

Wuyi Lane in the east of the city is such a place, with the kind of mistresses who enter the courtyard on both sides of the street. At the very back, there is a fourth-level house where Shu Chi'an's family lives.

Shu Chi'an has a total of two sons and three daughters, all of whom are married. There are only the eldest son who lives in the second courtyard and the youngest son who lives in the backyard.

Because he has retired and returned home. The current heads of the family are his eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law. His eldest son, Han Yan's father, was a city defense officer. Although he was only in the fifth rank, he was still called a master at home. Shu Chi'an had already become an old master.

His youngest son did not have any serious business. He often followed the manager of the Shu Mansion or the young masters, working as an assistant, running errands, etc., but he could often get some money back.

Shu Chian lives in the main house on the third floor, and his wife has passed away long ago. There were only two elderly concubines left, living with him in this third side room.

After coming out of the palace, Shu Chian returned home. The whole family stayed awake, waiting for him to come back. After all, you are entering the palace. Even if you cannot see the emperor, it is still a supreme honor to come back with some smell of the palace. Sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, daughters-in-law, servants and servants all surrounded the old man, saying good things and flattering him endlessly.

Shu Chi'an himself didn't have any complacent expression, and looked unfazed by honor or disgrace. He sent the servants away, told the children to go back to sleep, and returned to the house alone.

The two old aunts in his room brought him a bowl of noodles and side dishes, fearing that he would not have enough to eat in the palace. He was indeed hungry. After eating, he also sent away the two old aunts and lay on the bed alone, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Shu Chi'an thought about how he had begged his family in a low voice to send Han Yan into the palace. Unexpectedly, this granddaughter was also a failure and couldn't even enter the prince's body.

If you can't get the blood of that family, how can you avenge yourself? At that time, I thought that revenge for this life would be unreasonable, but I didn't expect that by chance, I saw the eleventh prince who was a guest in Shu Mansion. His face made him laugh for three days when he came back.

He originally wanted to take action on the eleventh prince, but he couldn't get close to him because of his status. Moreover, he saw that the eleventh prince was very polite and caring towards the people in the Shu family mansion. He didn't think that the prince would help him take revenge. So he can only hope for the future.

Han Yan is basically useless. As for the method she mentioned to remove the mother and leave the son, Shu Chian is not optimistic about it. But he wouldn't abandon Han Yan directly and keep her in the East Palace first, just in case she is needed one day.

He thought about the granddaughters he had just seen. They were either too young or too delicate. After thinking about it in my mind, there was no one I could use. If there was one who could compare with the appearance and character of the fifth lady in the main house, he wouldn't have to worry.

Thinking of the Fifth Miss, he began to calculate who the Fifth Miss' biological mother was and where her biological mother's natal family was. He didn't know if they could be used for his own purposes. He just fell asleep with his random thoughts.

Xiao Ba followed An Yi to Shu Chi'an's house. Except for the servant's room on night duty, which still had some dim lights, all the other rooms had candlelight removed, and there were even sounds of snoring.

When An Yi checked Han Yan, he knew that her family lived here. As for which room Shu Chian lived in, he didn't know. But this was not a problem for him and Xiaoba. They ran into four or five rooms, not to mention the people, even the dogs in the yard were not disturbed.

Finally, An Yi touched Shu Chi'an's room. He made a gesture with Xiao Ba, and the two of them entered in a swaggering manner.

Looking at Shu Chi'an lying on the bed, An Yi suddenly realized, why did he and Xiao Ba come to steal the old man? He is the prince's secret guard. It is a serious crime to act without the prince's order. Moreover, I still have an errand assigned by the prince, so why don’t I go and ask for the prince’s instructions first?

An Yi looked at Xiaoba, who was looking at Shu Chi'an, and thought: [How about I let this person beat me up, and then tell the master that he was threatened by her. At that time, I hope that the master, for the sake of this person's face, will punish himself a little. 】

Xiaoba looked at Shu Chi'an with a disfigured face and thought, "What kind of animal scratched this?" Judging from the paw prints, it must be quite big. I heard that there are two bamboo bears in the Royal Beast Garden. They are very fat. I wonder if their claws are that big? Last winter, Grandpa Qiang made steamed bear paws. It was delicious. I wonder if he can make it this year? It’s Chinese New Year, and there are fewer people crawling on the roof of the East Palace. If I catch it next time, can I exchange it for steamed bear paws? She can bring her own ingredients. 】

An Yi waited for a while, but Xiaoba didn't see any action. He just squatted there in a daze, so he stepped forward to remind her. Whether it’s arresting him or asking him directly, he has to do something!

Maybe it was because the two people were making too much noise, or because they had been stared at for a long time. This Shu Chian was a military commander. He suddenly opened his eyes and saw two figures squatting and standing next to the bed. , I just wanted to call someone. He was knocked unconscious by Xiaoba with a knife.

Okay, look at it secretly, no need to ask questions, just take it away! He didn't use Xiaoba's hand, he went forward, rolled up Shu Chi'an in a quilt, and pulled off the ropes tied to the tent on the side. There was one tie in the middle to secure the person, and another tie at both ends to prevent him from slipping out. After tying up the quilt, he put it directly on his shoulders and asked Xiaoba to leave.

ㄟ( ▔, ▔ )ㄏ Do not want to code the dividing line

In the secret cell, Yan Sinian and Wei Jingluan, the left guard of Di Rong, looked at him for a long time, smiled coldly, and did not question him again. Instead, he turned his attention to another person.

Yan Sinian had no hatred towards the Wei commander. Apart from his identity, he has never done anything to make him feel sorry for himself, at least he hasn't found out about it now. And when Yan Hongyang comes back, he will be assassinated.

He was locked up in a secret prison, firstly because of his identity as Di Rong. The second reason is because of his status as the commander of the East Palace Palace. After all, the security captain beside you must be someone you can trust! He thought of giving this errand to Muzi who had been exposed.
