Xiao Jiashan made repeated assurances and swore to the heavens and the earth, and Wei Ruxuan finally believed it.

She let out a deep breath.

To be honest, she was really afraid that if she married the King of Qin, he would ignore her and eventually kill her in battle.

Following Xiao Jiashan, she doesn't have the title of the main wife now, but if she works hard, she will get it.

Although the Princess of Qin did not say how her life was in the Prince of Qin's Mansion, Wei Ruxuan thought it must not be good.

It would be strange if she could live a good life if she married a villain who was diametrically opposed to the male protagonist and had a cruel and ruthless temper.

Yan Yu never expected that he would meet relatives of the Wen family in Beijing in this life.

It was an aunt from the same surname and clan who came to visit.

When all the male members of the Zhenguo Mansion were killed in the war and Yan Yu's mother died of depression, many relatives of the Wen family with the same surname jumped out and ran to the Zhenguo Mansion. They took advantage of the chaos to collude with the people in the mansion and took away a lot of things.

Others said that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had no male offspring, so they wanted to adopt their sons to the Duke of Zhenguo to inherit the title and many of the Duke's Mansion's properties.

Yan Yu was only four or five years old at the time. She had been weak since childhood. She was so sad that she almost couldn't die with her mother. What could she do when others wanted to eat her whole family? Nothing.

Fortunately, people from the Shao family came. The Shao family was powerful and protected their little niece Yan Yu. They said bluntly that everything in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion would be Yan Yu's future dowry, and the Duke did not want other people's sons to be used as incense.

Even though this took a lot of effort, the people in the Wen family were just waiting to wipe out the entire family, so how could they agree to give all the things in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to Yan Yu, a daughter who married out?

Fortunately, Yan Yu had an engagement with the royal family, and the emperor couldn't bear to see an orphan girl being bullied, so he secretly gave some help to the Shao family and asked them to take Yan Yu away.

The husband of the aunt who came this time was certainly not Yan Yu's biological uncle. The Duke of Zhenguo had no brothers from the same father and mother. If Yan Yu had a brother, his situation would not be so difficult. If they really wanted to be related by blood, they would have to go back to the generation of Yan Yu's great-grandfather.

Yan Yu started remembering things when she was four or five years old, but she was still a child at the time, and many things were not organized clearly, so she couldn't connect the specific details when she recalled them herself.

The elders of the Shao family didn't like to speak ill of the people in the Wen family, so they didn't tell Yan Yu too much about this.

So when he first saw a relative with the same surname coming to visit, Yan Yu was not sure what they were up to, so he just let them in and sit down.

The aunt from the Wen family was surnamed Huang. She looked very honest and dressed in ordinary clothes. She talked about some things that happened between the two families in the past and said that Yan Yu looked like the Duke's wife.

Yan Yu really couldn't remember any memories of her childhood with this family. At least, the aunt surnamed Huang didn't come to take anything from her house that year.

Yan Yu exchanged a few polite words with her and asked about the situation of Huang's family.

This uncle is currently working outside and holds a very low official position.

Yan Yu knew clearly that the relative who hadn't been in touch with him for many years must have come to ask for his help.

But Huang didn't say anything, and Yan Yu didn't say anything either.

Yan Yu had just arrived in the capital and didn't know many of the people and things there. She also had no older seniors to introduce her to them and help her get acquainted with them.

If it is a relative with whom there is no past grudge, Yan Yu is not opposed to getting to know him.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Huang finally told a story while wiping her tears.

Her son worked in the Ministry of Justice as a minor official in charge of guarding prisoners. His superiors had forced his son to do something, but he was unwilling to do it. Since then, he was bullied and humiliated. The child was naturally introverted and didn't like to talk or deal with people, so he refused to do the job.

But not long after, her son died outside. The doctor said that he died of drunkenness due to drinking too much. Huang didn't quite believe it and felt that her son was murdered, but she had no place to appeal and her husband was not at home.

Yan Yu was stunned for a moment. The Ministry of Justice was now under the management of Xiao Chengji. No wonder the other party found him.

Yan Yu thought for a moment: "What did his superior ask him to do? What's his name?"

Huang said the name of the official, and then said: "He put drugs in a prisoner's food, saying that the prisoner would not die immediately, but would die suddenly after a long time, and he could not be traced back. The kid was too timid to dare..."

Yan Yu comforted Huang with a few words, and Huang soon left.

When Xiao Chengji came back, Yan Yu told him about this matter.

Xiao Chengji's face changed instantly, and he summoned two secret guards and asked them to inquire in this direction.

When Yan Yu heard Xiao Chengji's order, two people immediately flashed in from the window. She was startled. She didn't expect that there were so many people hiding in the dark of the palace, waiting to be ordered by Xiao Chengji at any time.

After everyone left, Xiao Chengji explained to her: "These people have been raised in the palace since they were young, and they only obey my orders. You don't have to be afraid."

Yan Yu wasn't afraid, but he was very curious: "Can they hear us talking in the house?"

If this is true, then I have to be careful about what I say in the room in the future. If I say something bad, Xiao Chengji might come to question me.

Xiao Chengji raised his eyebrows: "Why? When you have nothing to do, you still say bad things about me behind my back?"

Yan Yu: "...That won't happen."

"Unless you speak loudly, they won't hear you, don't worry." Xiao Chengji sat down and took a sip of tea, "It's okay even if they really say bad things about me."

Yan Yu saw that the tea he was drinking was the same one he had just tasted, so he made him a new cup.

Xiao Chengji felt that he had pretty good concentration today. The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice had been busy with important matters recently, so he was really busy. He only slept for three hours a day, and all his energy was consumed by his work.

If he can still be seduced by Yan Yu and cannot control himself at all, then he should not be a prince.

At this time, Yan Yu noticed that the tassel of the jade pendant on Xiao Chengji's waist was a little hairy, so he went over to take it off for him: "I will change a new one for your Highness tonight. How do the people around you take care of you? They don't even notice this."

Xiao Chengji tightened his abdominal muscles and saw that she was so close to him.

He knew that Yan Yu must have some tricks up his sleeve, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to confuse his mind so quickly.

But I didn't expect that she had so many tricks up her sleeve. In order to seduce him, she kept finding excuses to get close to him.

Yan Yu easily untied the jade pendant from his waist, adjusted the tassels on it with his hands, and put it in his sleeve first, thinking of changing the strap in the evening.

Xiao Chengji waited for a long time but she didn't make the next move. He had little patience to begin with, and now he felt even more impatient.

Seeing Yan Yu was about to move to the side, he raised his hand and pulled him into his arms.

Yan Yu was somewhat puzzled: "Your Highness?"

Xiao Chengji suddenly let go: "It's okay."
