"My Lord, although Prefect Yan is greedy, he does not hang out in brothels. It is extremely difficult for us to get any information about him."

"However, our people still found out that the disaster victims in the city were all isolated in the Guanyin Temple on the outskirts of the city."

"Isolation?" After Mu Peiyun had eaten and drunk his fill, he returned to the topic and asked with his eyes sparkling.

Lan Yi nodded seriously and explained: "Floods are often accompanied by plagues, so Prefect Yan isolated the victims in the Guanyin Temple to prevent them from infecting the locals."

"They are all quarantined? Are those who are not sick also quarantined together?"

Seeing Lan Yi nodded with a sad face.

Mu Peiyun was a little bit unbelievable.

Even though the plague is terrible, it is safe as long as there are no sick people. However, you must never eat or live with a sick person.

This is extremely contagious, and if the person cannot be saved, all that can be done is burn the body to destroy the evidence.

So, is this the reason why the memorial submitted by Fan Yang stated that the flood situation was severe and that countless people were killed or injured due to the flood?

The so-called countless casualties, wasn't that just the clever calculation of the Fanyang prefect?

Not only did they receive the disaster relief money, but no one complained.

"Why do you say Yan Mingshi is corrupt? Do you have any evidence?"

Mu Yunchen's words made Mu Peiyun realize that she had just formed a preconceived notion without any evidence that the prefect of Fanyang had embezzled the disaster relief funds.

She was too hasty.

Lan Yi finally pulled up a stool and sat down to answer.

"At first, we didn't find any corruption on the part of Prefect Yan. The furnishings in the yamen were very simple, and it didn't look like he was a greedy person."

"But later, we found out that all the money Yan Mingshi embezzled was spent on his wife Situ Wenjing."

"One time I secretly followed Yan Mingshi to the outskirts of the city, and only then did I discover that they had a large villa there."

Hearing this, Mu Yunchen couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Isn't it rumored that Situ Wenjing and Yan Mingshi are just a couple in name only?"

Since the couple's relationship was not harmonious, why did Yan Mingshi take the risk of embezzling the court's disaster relief funds to build a villa for Situ Wenjing?

But as soon as he finished asking the question, he received two inquiring gazes, and Mu Peiyun finally responded.

What's going on? Why does His Highness know that the couple is not getting along? Why hasn't she heard of such rumors?

Bai Yu only admired his cousin the prince even more, but he didn't dare to imitate him and could only listen silently.

Lan Yi nodded and continued, "Young Master, you are right. After Prefect Yan left, I sneaked into the villa to take a look."

"I didn't expect that there were more than ten men living there, all of them were the mistresses of Prefect Yan's wife and Situ Wenjing."

Hearing this, Bi Shiqi suddenly burst into coughing violently, which was particularly abrupt.

Everyone had a look of surprise on their faces, and were immediately disturbed by Bi Shiqi's sudden cough.

Bi Shiqi took a few steps back awkwardly: "Go on, you guys go on."

Inner thoughts: What a fancy way of playing.

"Since Prefect Yan has been to the villa, doesn't he know that his wife secretly keeps a lover?"

Bai Yu really couldn't understand it, and was surprised and confused.

Unexpectedly, Lan Yi continued to nod, causing them to look at each other in bewilderment.

"know."

"Since he knew about this, he was still willing to support her for his wife?"

Mu Peiyun really couldn't understand it. If ordinary people found out that their wives had unfaithful hearts, most of them would divorce them as if they had committed one of the five major offenses.

There are very few people in the world who are as broad-minded as Prefect Yan.

"Because, Prefect Yan seems to be not very capable, so his wife keeps those male lovers, actually to borrow their seeds.

And Governor Yan probably agrees with this.”

Mu Peiyun was simply stunned by such a shocking news, and Bai Yu even retreated away directly, as if what Lan Yi said just now was something that polluted his ears.

Zhimu Yunchen had no expression on his face, and his brows were slightly frowned, just like when he entered the room.

"So, Yan Mingshi actually has no biological children?"

If not, then the person he caught cheating in the Spring Examination was not Yan Mingshi's biological son.

If that's the case, it would be much easier.

"That's how it should be."

"How many people know about this?" Mu Yunchen continued to ask.

"Prefect Yan is a very proud person. Apart from him, his wife, and his family, no one else knows about this."

Bai Yu opened his mouth slightly, and after a long while he finally asked: "Since it was hidden so well, how did Miss Lan Yi know about it?"

Lan Yi looked at Bai Yu with a fake smile: "Hong Xiu Tian Xiang has her own methods. Does this gentleman want to give it a try?"

The expression on Bai Yu’s face froze!

No need to! ! !

Mu Yunchen curled his lips: "It seems that I can go to the prefect's house tomorrow."

We had to meet each other anyway, so we found out everything we could in advance.

I have to meet Yan Mingshi before I can make any specific plans.

Lan Yi nodded. She had tried her best to do what her master had asked her to do, and this was all she could do.

"This is my wife. Miss Lan Yi, please arrange a good room for her to rest."

"Of course." Having said that, Lan Yi stood up, opened the door, and made a "please" gesture from outside.

"Qingning is tired, go take a nap? Okay?" This hum sounded like coaxing a child.

Even Lan Yi was stunned for a moment. Bi Shiqi was no longer surprised. The master was full of coldness, which only disappeared when he was around the Crown Princess.

"how about you?"

Mu Peiyun was indeed tired. Since His Highness said that Lan Yi was one of their own, there was nothing to worry about.

But she has taken a rest, what about His Highness?

"I will go to the Guanyin Temple with Bai Yu to see the disaster victims who have been isolated."

Bai Yu looked up suddenly. He thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arranged the Crown Princess's room for him to take a rest, but he didn't expect that he still had work to do.

"Then remember to protect yourself and don't get infected."

It’s not that she doesn’t want to go with him, but she is different now. There is a baby in her belly, so she can’t be careless.

Mu Yunchen nodded in agreement and winked at Lan Yi, who then quickly walked over to Mu Peiyun and helped her up.

When he reached the door, Lan Yi suddenly remembered something and turned back to say, "Mr. Yun, in the officialdom, there is also the Fanyang Governor Chen Chuhe who can be used."

"Has the Fanyang governor already taken office?"

Mu Yunchen couldn't help but sigh at the speed. He had just received his father's order and came to Fan Yang when the Fan Yang governor sent someone to take the office.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in Fan Yang, the governor of Fan Yang took office.

"Oh?" Mu Yunchen looked at Lan Yi thoughtfully, his tone sounding a bit guessing.

Lan Yi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, lowered his head and said: "I have some connection with him, Master Yun, please believe me, Governor Chen is not a bad person."
