I've been reborn, who would still raise a son from another family? Go away

The secret guard reported back: "My king... Liu Yunni and Zhao Wanyan refused to tell us even if they died. We dare not kill them. They are not strong enough to withstand the attack. Liu Yunni has been knocked unconscious several times. Do we still need to continue interrogating them?"

Xie Jingrui narrowed his eyes slightly, and his voice became deeper as he said, "Zhao Wanyan is just watching her daughter suffer, and she still refuses to tell the truth?"

"Yes, I think they are hiding something that they cannot let others know, so they are hiding it and refuse to tell anyone."

"Go check Zhao Wanyan's connections and dig deeper to see what kind of background she has." Xie Jingrui instructed.

Then he asked, "What did you find out about Song Nanzhi and Miss Liu's wedding night?"

The secret guard looked up at his own prince, and after hesitating for a long time, he slowly spoke: "Prince, you drank too much that night in Liu Mansion, and someone drugged you. Zhao Wanyan admitted that the woman who drugged you was arranged by them. She wanted to get you together with Liu Yunni, and then Zhao Wanyan would bring people to catch you, so that your relationship would be a matter of course. But later, Zhao Wanyan said that somehow the man with Liu Yunni turned out to be Shen Yizhou, the current third-rank minister of the Central Secretariat, and the child Liu Yunni was pregnant with was his."

"Shen Yizhou was planning to marry Liu Yunni, but he gave up when he heard that the prince wanted to marry her."

The secret guard's words left Xie Jingrui puzzled: "When I woke up, I was indeed in Liu Mansion, but..."

Liu Yueru was already in the Mansion of Marquis Zhennan at that time, and it was their wedding night. How did Liu Yueru return to the Liu Mansion, and moreover, without anyone in the Liu Mansion knowing?

Xie Jingrui pondered for a moment and asked, "Was there anything unusual in the Zhennan Marquis Mansion that night?"

After thinking for a moment, the secret guard said, "There is one thing that is strange. On the day of Song Nanzhi's wedding, Wang from the gambling house brought a group of people to the Zhennan Marquis's mansion. They all looked fierce, as if they were here to collect debts. I heard that it was a gambling debt left by the marquis when he was still alive. Those people waited until the day of Song Nanzhi's wedding to ask for it, but later I don't know what Song Nanzhi gave them in exchange. Since then, Wang's group has never come to the mansion to ask for money again. They only took away a sack from the mansion that night. I heard that there seemed to be a person in the sack."

The secret guard thought for a moment and continued, "Could it be that Song Nanzhi gave them women to pay off their debts?"

As soon as these words came out.

Xie Jingrui's face instantly sank to the bottom, and he said in an extremely cold voice: "Go check, where did the person in the sack end up?"

He didn't want to believe that there were such coincidences in the world. There must be someone behind the scenes pushing these things to happen.

The secret guard was frightened by the chill emanating from Xie Jingrui. He looked at Xie Jingrui and continued, "Your Highness, the person we found was the one in the sack. He was replaced by a masked man in the middle of the journey, and we couldn't find him anymore."

"Bring Wang back to the palace tomorrow and treat him well." Xie Jingrui's voice sounded as cold as a ghost.

The guard's hand trembled suddenly, and he answered cautiously, "Yes."

Xie Jingrui waved his hand to let them leave, and then he quietly linked the whole thing together.

He remembered that night he was led into the room by a servant. The woman was already lying on the bed and it was pitch black around him. In the second half of the night, he seemed to smell a strange smell in his sleep. When he woke up again, the woman beside him was gone.

I guess that man took her away at that time.

Xie Jingrui's hands clenched involuntarily. If he had discovered at that time that Liu Yueru was the person that night, he wouldn't have been going around in circles for so many years...

The next morning.

The morning light enveloped the mountains, shining brightly.

After Liu Yueru cleaned up Xie Wenhua, she asked the maid in the palace to take Xie Wenhua back to Xie Jingrui.

Liu Yueru also got on the Liu Mansion's carriage and returned home.

Xie Jingrui was a little depressed. He looked down at Xie Wenhua who was sitting on the horse with him and asked with a somewhat unhappy expression: "Did you upset her last night?"

Xie Wenhua stared blankly ahead. When he heard Xie Jingrui's question, his fair little face was squeezed together, filled with resentment.

"It was obviously father who made aunt unhappy. It was because of father that aunt left me. If it weren't for father, I would still be with Xiao Mumu, and Tangyuan is so cute. I miss aunt, Xiao Mumu, Xiao Tangyuan, and my brother Yan so much..."

A cold light in Xie Jingrui's eyes fell on Xie Wenhua's face.

Upon seeing this, Xie Wenhua immediately closed his mouth, but his little face kept looking back.

"Behave yourself." Xie Jingrui warned coldly.

Xie Wenhua stuck out his tongue at him and muttered quietly in front of him: "If you are unhappy, go and tell your aunt if you have the guts. Why are you being so mean to me? I will tell my aunt that you bullied me and ask her to ignore you!"

"You dare, is your butt itchy?" Xie Jingrui asked in a deep voice.

Xie Wenhua pursed her lips tightly and didn't look happy at all along the way.

Xie Jingrui was the same, his mind was full of thoughts about whether Liu Yueru still had feelings for Song Nanzhi and wanted to go back to the Marquis' Mansion with him.

After thinking about it, Xie Jingrui suddenly said to Xie Wenhua: "Your aunt wants to go back to the Marquis' Mansion with that man. If you don't want to not see her in the future, you have to cooperate with your father in acting."

Xie Wenhua suddenly raised his dark eyes, which were full of surprise: "Why did my aunt give that man a chance?"

Xie Jingrui pursed his thin lips.

"How to act?" Xie Wenhua asked when he saw his father remained silent.

"Today, wherever your aunt goes, you should follow her. Just say that you miss her and don't let her have any chance to be alone with Song Nanzhi." Xie Jingrui frowned and whispered in Xie Wenhua's ear.

"Okay." Xie Wenhua agreed happily.

......

In the Marquis' Mansion, Yuan Qinglian's leg injury has almost healed, and Song Shijin has become more reserved and calm than before.

Yang Yuning followed him to the hunting ground, and Song Shijin took a day off to stay in the Marquis' Mansion to accompany Yuan Qinglian.

Recently, Song Shijin told Yuan Qinglian about the rumors outside and said, "I heard that the prince was assassinated while in the hunting grounds. Those who went out hunting today will come back early. I wonder if father has made some useful friends during this trip."

Yuan Qinglian frowned slightly: "If Liu Yueru goes this time, even if your father wants to make friends with her, those people will take into account the power of the Liu Mansion and will not give your father face. Unless Liu Yueru can move back to the Marquis Mansion, people outside will think that your father is abandoned by the Liu Mansion, and those officials will deliberately stay away from him."

Song Shijin looked at the fallen leaves in the yard. No one swept the yard every day, and the originally bustling yard was now very deserted.

He felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.

"I'll go and ask my mother to come back." Song Shijin said with trembling eyelashes.
