No matter how cautious and careful both father and son were, they couldn't explain the eighteen years of lost contact in between.
However, in the hearts of Pei Zhan and Liang Chen, another layer of doubt emerged: What exactly was Mr. Ning worried about back then? With his connections in the court, sending Yang Yi back to the Imperial Palace shouldn't have been a problem, so why did he choose such a roundabout way?
Moreover, what exactly did Mr. Ning encounter at the dock? Who exactly were the people fighting at the dock?
The incident of Mr. Ning's peril was reported by He Qunying. Looking at it now, it's highly likely this clue was provided by Xu Yin, so why did Xu Yin know so much?
Even if he was a descendant of the Prince Yi Mansion, with plenty of people to dispatch for gathering information, isn't the scope he covers too extensive?
Thinking of this, Pei Zhan said, "Your Majesty, regarding Xu Yin, I have something urgent to report."
