Before he could finish speaking, I said, "Don't worry, I know what to do."
Zhao Yuncheng still frowned.
I made a faint smile at him, and then said, "After all, Xichuan is still my territory, and it is hard to defeat the local snake. What's more, he came from thousands of miles away, and the situation was still unclear. My brother would definitely stand by my side."
Zhao Yuncheng actually doesn't know much about the Yan family, but after all, my identity is still here. Besides, I have mastered such people and money now. As long as I don't leave Xichuan, no one can easily touch me.
Everything that Liu Qinghan arranged for me was enough to ensure my safety.
I continued, "Besides, there is Uncle Wuwei."
When talking about the fearless monk, Zhao Yuncheng's face calmed down a little.
These days, Wuwei Monk has been living in Yilan Villa. He is of a martial character. In a few days, they became familiar with each other. I heard that they had fought with each other. Zhao Yuncheng trained his troops in the northwest with Tu Shuhan. However, if you really want to talk about fists and feet, there are not many people who can really beat Wuwei Monk in his military camp.
He pondered for a while and finally said, "Okay."
“…”
"However, I'll explain that we must have our own people escort you over."
"Of course. You can do it."
"Um."
He nodded, turned around and left.
When he left, there were only two people left here, and then I turned around and looked at Yan Zhong.
He had always been anxious, starting from seeing us. At this time, he saw Susu and Zhao Yun leaving one after another in Chengdu. I turned my head and looked at him with a flash of eyes. His breathing was also suffocated. I was silent for a moment, and then said, "Yan Zhong, the last time I was in Jinling, you came to invite me at Qingchen's order, right?"
He nodded quickly: "When you say it to the young lady, yes."
"What about this time?"
“…”
"Whose order did you take this time?"
“…”
This time, he became obviously a little panicked, and I said calmly: "They are all gone, you can tell me the truth."
When Yan Zhong's face suddenly turned pale when he heard what I said.
Seeing my calm expression, a look of almost horror appeared on his face. He walked to me and suddenly fell to the ground with a thud: "Miss."
I was not too surprised by his like this, but I still frowned.
I said, "It seems that you are ready to tell the truth."
Yan Zhong's shoulders twitched slightly, and he looked up at me: "How did the eldest lady know--"
I said in a deep voice: "I do need to help solve Pei Yuanxiu's trip to Chengdu, but according to Qingchen's temper, if it was something else, he would certainly ask me to invite me. The only thing Pei Yuanxiu has to do when he came to Chengdu, I think it's too late for him to pick me up, so how could he let me go back to Chengdu?"
When Yan Zhong heard my words, he immediately lay down on the ground, his shoulders twitching slightly: "Miss, Miss, forgive me for your sins."
"Tell me the truth, I'll see if I want to forgive you."
Yan Zhong trembled and finally said, "This time the villain came, it was indeed not the order of the head of the family, but - but the order of the old lady."
"..." I squinted my eyes slightly.
"But, Miss," he raised his head and looked at me again, his eyes very urgent: "The villain has been thinking about it over and over again. This matter really needs the lady to go back to Chengdu to solve it!"
"..." I pondered for a while, and then said, "You are Qingchen's man. Now Qingchen has not given an order, but the old lady ordered you to come. Could it be--"
Could something happen to Qingchen?
Seeing me getting nervous all of a sudden, Yan Zhong hurriedly said, "Miss, don't worry, the head of the family is fine yet."
It's okay now, that is to say-
After my repeated questions, Yan Zhong finally said: "The head of the family has been on guard against the old lady for a long time. However, this time, Mr. Pei and Miss Xue rushed to Wulong one after another, and the eldest lady knew that the head of the family had always been inconvenient."
I immediately clenched my lower lip.
Yan Qingchen is indeed disabled and was beaten by his mother. Even if he uses his scheming, he can win a thousand miles. In fact, there are some things that are simpler, especially for a person with incompetent legs and feet.
Yan Zhong continued: "The most important thing is - the old lady, after all, she is the mother of the head of the family."
“…”
This time, I have nothing to say.
My mother's fate is like a mountain. Perhaps in the Central Plains, my mother's authority is not so great, but in Xichuan, the customs of the previous dynasty were somewhat retained. In a family, in addition to the supreme status of my father, my mother also has absolute authority, especially in the Yan family, where my father has long passed away, and only Gaotang is alive, which is even more so.
Even if Yan Qingchen is the head of the Yan family, his power will be restricted by Xue Qian.
What's more, Xue Qian is not an ordinary old lady.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous: "Madam, can't he put him under house arrest?"
“House arrest…”
Yan Zhong also frowned and said, "When the villain left, it was not so serious. However, the eldest lady knew that the old lady's temper was difficult for the head of the family to do. After all, it was his mother. There were some things that the mother could do to her son, but the son could never do to her mother."
This is already the limit that a servant can say.
I immediately understood.
Perhaps, in order to fulfill what she wanted to accomplish - her father's "last wish", Xue Qian would really lose her mind and use some coercive means to Yan Qingchen.
I just don’t know how Yan Qingchen will deal with it.
Yan Zhong said again: "Actually, before the villain set off and left Chengdu, he was very hesitant, but Mr. An and the others had sent someone to send a message, asking the villain to ask the eldest lady to return to Chengdu to preside over the overall situation."
“…”
"Miss, you must come forward for this incident."
I took a long breath: "I understand."
In fact, even if Yan Qingchen would not let me participate in this matter, even if I knew that Xue Qian deliberately asked Yan Zhong to invite me, as far as I knew, it would be impossible for me to stay out of it.
Even if I don't want to, I have to meet him!
So, I lowered my head and said lightly to Yan Zhong: "I understand, you get up."
Yan Zhong looked up at me, and was still a little frightened: "Miss, don't blame the villain?"
"It's not your fault. This time, I'm actually making things difficult for you."
"The villain dares not."
"But, do you understand what you see, hear, what you should say, what you shouldn't say?"
When he heard this, he hurriedly said, "Miss. Don't worry, Miss. Although the villain means to come to invite the lady on the order of the old lady, he is also worried about the head of the family. For other things, the villain takes the head of the family as his thoughts."
I nodded.

After a while, Su Su had packed everything and the carriage outside was ready. In addition to sending a team of people to follow me, Zhao Yuncheng also asked his people to set up points in various ways. As long as there was any abnormal movement in the Chengdu main house, they would react immediately.
In addition to the fearless monk who was following us, I smiled and said, "In this way, I can rest assured."
Although I said this, it was somewhat satisfying to his heart, Zhao Yuncheng did not look relaxed at all. Until we were about to get on the carriage and left, he was still not relieved. He held the window frame of the carriage with one hand and said hesitantly: "Qingying, I think I'd better send you there."
"Second brother, you were always decisive in your work before, but why did you become a mother-in-law and mother?"
I deliberately laughed at him: "You, you are almost taking care of him as an old mom."
Zhao Yuncheng had no intention of being amused by me at all, but looked at me more solemnly: "When he left, although he couldn't say anything, I know that the one he couldn't rest assured about was you."
“…”
"Yuxiang told me that you two - both suffered too much."
“…”
"At that time, seeing him being taken away, I made up my mind that even if I die, I must protect you and let you wait for him to come back so that you two can be together."
“…”
"I, I can't let him come back in the future..."
Speaking of this, he couldn't even continue to talk about it himself.
I sat in the carriage in a little shocked moment, looking at my eyes red, but I kept suppressing myself with the second brother Zhao.
He has always been a calm and introverted brother. Even when he helped me like Jixiang Village, he didn't talk much. He did things first and talked less under any circumstances. Today, this is the first time I heard him say these words. I never thought that he, who has always been taciturn, would have such determination to protect me when Qinghan left.
My throat was a little astringent for a moment and I said softly: "Second brother..."
Just when we were both a little sad and couldn't speak, a tall figure walked to him and slapped Zhao Yuncheng on the shoulder: "I'm talking to you, what are you doing with such a mother-in-law? With the family here, who can feel wronged her?"
It is a fearless monk.
As soon as he saw him, Zhao Yuncheng was actually a little relieved. He smiled helplessly and said, "Master, thank you for your hard work this time."
"I'm talking nonsense, I'm talking about how hard it is to do things for the young lady."
The fearless monk cursed and waved his hand and left. The convoy was ready and everyone was ready to set off.
At this moment, I suddenly remembered something and hurriedly lifted the curtain again.
"Old Yu!"
