On the way back home, Bi Shiqi had already brought back the news.

All the shops on the main street that are decorated extremely luxuriously are owned by members of the Situ family. Apart from the side branches, the most important ones are Situ Qingshan and Situ Wenjing.

As soon as he entered, he began to promote Situ Qingshan's sentiments as a literati and his reputation as the leader of literati.

These shops account for almost half of the business in Fanyang City, and most ordinary vendors have no room for development.

Mu Yunchen and Mu Peiyun returned home, and neither of them spoke along the way.

I was wondering why, but ever since the flood in Fan Yang was reported to the court, the court has been releasing relief funds for many years.

No matter how greedy Yan Mingshi was, he couldn't possibly embezzle so much money just to build a villa in the suburbs.

I didn’t expect that she was given to the Situ Mansion. He really married a good wife!

Most of the embezzled money should have been spent on the Situ Mansion. In addition to those shops, some of it was used to promote Situ Qingshan's reputation.

After returning home to have dinner with Mu Peiyun, Mu Yunchen took Chen Chuhe to the county government office.

When he saw Yan Mingshi, he was squatting in the cell, eating voraciously, and didn't notice anyone coming at all.

It seems that the prison warden listened to Bi Qi and starved Yan Mingshi.

It was not until the two of them came in front of Yan Mingshi that he realized something was wrong. He gradually looked up until he saw Mu Yunchen's face.

She was so happy that she dropped her bowl and hurriedly crawled over to hug Mu Yunchen's feet.

"Your Highness, I am glad to see you at last."

This action frightened the people around, and they all rushed forward to pry Yan Mingshi apart.

But Yan Mingshi might have just eaten three bowls of rice, and he couldn't separate them no matter what.

It was not until Mu Yunchen waved his hand that everyone retreated.

Chen Chuhe stepped back a few steps and came to the warden and asked in confusion: "What's going on? Why does Lord Yan look so crazy?"

The warden hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands: "Chen, this is none of my business. I don't know why it happened like this."

Chen Chuhe was speechless: "I didn't blame you."

The prison warden scratched his head in embarrassment.

Then he took Chen Chuhe to another cell.

"Master Yan, do you have something to say?" Mu Yunchen asked knowingly, looking at Yan Mingshi with a smile.

Yan Mingshi looked up at the creepy smile and suddenly felt a chill on his back.

He loosened his hands tremblingly and sat down on the ground.

Life in prison was very miserable. All day long, there were not only cockroaches and rats, but also the screams of other prisoners.

He couldn't sleep well every night, couldn't eat well, and had to endure fright. It was far from being as comfortable as he had planned.

He thought that as long as his crimes were exposed, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would at most put him under house arrest and then investigate the Situ family.

In the end, he was able to kill someone with a borrowed knife, using the knife of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to kill Situ Qingshan and Situ Wenjing, the father and daughter.

Therefore, he also hid the account book from two years ago, and finally used it as a bargaining chip to ask the prince to spare his life.

But who would have thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not say a word, but would just pick a crime at random and put him in jail.

These past few days have been very difficult.

"Your Highness, please take a seat."

Yan Mingshi pointed at the straw bed behind him, motioning Mu Yunchen to sit down and listen to him.

After all, there is no extra space in the prison, and it would be inappropriate to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stand and listen to him talk.

Mu Yunchen glanced at the straw bed, on which there was yellow liquid and a few rat droppings.

If I sit down, I'm afraid I'll have to sleep alone tonight.

"It's okay. I'll just stand here and you can decide."

Yan Mingshi then lowered his head in embarrassment: "Your Highness, I let you catch me on purpose."

Mu Yunchen pretended to think for a while before humming: "I guessed it."

Yan Mingshi suddenly raised his head. This...his painstaking plan was exposed so quickly?

"Also, I have lost my relationship with Situ Wenjing a long time ago. This time I am here just to set up a trap to lure Your Highness deeper into the Situ Mansion."

"I guessed this, too."

Yan Mingshi widened his eyes and stared at Mu Yunchen, his eyes full of disbelief.

Guessed it again?

For some reason, Yan Mingshi's inner fighting spirit was suddenly aroused. He became a little excited, and his saliva sprayed all over the floor while he spoke.

"Your Highness, I guess you may have found the account books for the past two years, but I also hid the account books from two years ago."

As Yan Mingshi spoke, he looked up from time to time to observe Mu Yunchen's expression.

Mu Yunchen, who had no reaction at first, suddenly frowned and waved to the outside.

The expression on Yan Mingshi's face froze and he began to worry. Could it be that he had angered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Until—someone handed in a clean chair.

Mu Yunchen sat down calmly, looking at Yan Mingshi, and said slowly: "I know this, too. Tell me something I don't know."

Yan Mingshi's pupils were literally shaking. He had carefully designed and laid out such a huge net, and he plunged himself into the game, killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of his own.

Didn't expect everything to be guessed?

Maybe his father was right, he had no potential to become a great general?

In the end, plans are not as good as people, success is ruined by people, oh my god! !

"Your Highness... How did Your Highness know?"

Yan Mingshi felt very unhappy and asked this question.

Mu Yunchen curled his lips and snorted coldly: "I also know that your son Yan Jingzhou is not your biological son, but the son of Feng Xi, a servant in the inspection team of this county government."

"And a few days ago, Yan Jingzhou suddenly fell ill and died. I think Lord Yan knows whether this is the case or not."

Seeing Yan Mingshi staring at him blankly, obviously unable to believe it, Mu Yunchen chuckled a few times.

The memories continued until dinner time.

Mu Yunchen thought about it over and over but couldn't figure out what kind of big deal it was that made Yan Mingshi willing to drag the Situ Mansion into it at all costs.

In the end, it was Mu Peiyun who reminded him.

"According to your Highness, if the baby you've been dreaming about in my belly is born, but in the end it's not your child, how would you feel?"

“And since Bi Qi has already found out that before we arrived in Fanyang City, one day Situ Wenjing went to the county government office angrily to find Yan Mingshi.

Next time, when someone went to clean Yan Mingshi's room, they smelled pungent blood. From that day on, no one saw Yan Jingzhou again.

Therefore, Yan Jingzhou was most likely killed by Yan Mingshi, and the two of them fell out completely. "

Although Mu Yunchen felt that Mu Peiyun's analysis was reasonable, he still didn't quite understand it.

"According to what Qingning said, shouldn't Situ Wenjing hate Yan Mingshi more?

Why does it seem that Yan Mingshi is the one who wants to kill Situ Wenjing more? "

“Your Highness, you forgot that Lan Yi said at the beginning that Yan Mingshi was infertile.

There are no descendants, and the only old father passed away a few years ago.

Without any worries, he could just go for it.

And Your Highness, think about it from a man's perspective, well... he is not very good in that aspect, and he has some psychological problems, plus he has been bullied by the Situ Mansion for so many years.

It was clearly not a marriage into the wife's family, but it was better than that. Although he was still a prefect, he was suppressed by the Situ family.

In the end, for that little bit of face, he not only had to acknowledge someone else's son, but also had to build a villa for his wife and keep a lover.

Even if Yan Mingshi is very tolerant, he would be abnormal. "
