Shen Yanchuan tilted his head, seeming to consider how to begin.
In the end, he offered the simplest, most direct sentence:
"Marquis Zhongyong is not that foolish."
Xie Anbai: "..."
The tight, tangled emotions that had filled his chest were suddenly dispelled by this single sentence.
He felt a little angry, and a little wronged, but after thinking it over, he had to admit Shen Yanchuan wasn't wrong.
Finally, Xie Anbai could only flick open his fan in frustration and cover his face with it.
His muffled voice came from behind it—
"...You're right."
Now that something had happened to Xiao Chengxuan, anyone connected to him was bound to be investigated.
And Xie Anjun was one of them!
It was only a matter of time before the investigation led to him.
Shen Yanchuan wasn't actually surprised by this. "Since he married that woman, it's not surprising he would choose this path."
Before today, Xiao Chengxuan had always been the strongest candidate for Crown Prince.
