Group pet Xiaopangbao: I have four big daddies

Chapter 1348 This matter is of great importance and there must be an explanation.
Seeing his excitement, Old Master Feng was somewhat confused. He stroked his chin and asked in bewilderment, "You child, when I mentioned wanting you to meet Qian Ning before, you were quite reluctant, saying you didn't want to be tied down by marriage. Why are you so excited now that you've met her?"

Feng Xiuyi blushed and turned his face away somewhat embarrassedly: "I was ignorant before. I have known her for ten years. I was with her at Sifang Mountain and watched her breathe her last. I never thought she would actually still be alive."

Old Feng was somewhat surprised: "You recognized him ten years ago?"

Feng Xiuyi nodded: "She was just a little baby back then."

Upon hearing this, Elder Feng seemed to recall something: "Was it that time after you returned from Beili, you stayed in your room for a month?"

Everyone at home was extremely anxious. He was usually not very talkative, but after returning from Beili, he became even more silent and locked himself in his room.

Feng Xiuyi nodded.

Upon hearing this, Old Feng regretted not coming to Beili with that brat back then.

The morning light casts dappled shadows on the bluestone slabs through the carved window lattices.

Ye Qianning had just finished washing and dressing when a voice announced from outside the courtyard: "Miss, Princess Changyang has arrived."

"Let her in."

Ye Qianning looked up, and the suspicions that had been lingering in her mind yesterday were now almost certain.

As soon as she finished speaking, Nan Xiang, dressed in a light pink dress, lifted the curtain and entered. With a hint of excitement on her face, she quickly walked up to Ye Qianning and affectionately took her wrist: "Ah Ning, the weather is perfect today. The martial arts tournament on the street is about to start. It's very lively. Let's go take a look."

Ye Qianning let her pull him along and smiled, "Okay."

Nan Xiang happily took her arm and walked outside.

Once outside the Xiang residence, the streets were indeed bustling with noise, almost packed with people.

Almost all of them were martial arts practitioners from the four kingdoms. The Emperor of Beili probably didn't expect there to be so many people, and by the time he realized what was happening, he couldn't control himself.

If only the refugees were driven out, that would be fine, but unfortunately these people are all martial arts practitioners or members of certain sects.

If people from the martial arts world unite, they should not be underestimated.

Emperor Beili ordered Sang Rui to prepare a martial arts tournament to attract the attention of the martial arts world. Of course, the prizes were also very attractive, and anything related to Penglai Immortal Mountain would drive people crazy.

Nan Xiang enthusiastically dragged Ye Qianning to several shops, picking up all sorts of trinkets to show her.

Although Ye Qianning didn't say much, she patiently stayed with him, occasionally nodding in response.

After strolling around for about half an hour, Nan Xiang casually said, "Qian Ning, the Changyang Prince's Mansion isn't far from here. My mother was talking about you yesterday, saying it's been a long time since we've seen you. Why don't we go and visit you?"

"Okay." Ye Qianning's suspicions were finally confirmed.

The two turned and walked towards the Changyang Prince's Mansion, and soon arrived at the mansion.

The princess was in the back garden, waving to Ye Qianning from afar: "Qianning is here."

"Your Highness, Princess Consort." Ye Qianning bowed slightly in greeting.

The princess stepped forward, took her hand, and looked her over carefully. Her tone was warm: "You look a bit thinner. Are you short-handed for the temporary housing set up in the west of the city?"

"No, I didn't do anything. I just kept an eye on things every day," Ye Qianning said with a smile.

“A young lady shouldn’t run around like this. You’ve come at the right time. The shops outside just delivered some pearl flowers today. I’ll take you to pick some out.”

"it is good."

"Xiang'er, have you finished your studies today?" the princess asked, looking at Nan Xiang.

Nan Xiang chuckled dryly and scratched her head.

"I knew you hadn't finished. Your father will be investigating when he gets back. You'll be crying if you don't finish."

"Ah? Oh dear, you didn't tell my father to check today either. Oh no!" Nan Xiang said, looking at Ye Qianning. "Ah Ning, don't leave today. I'll come find you to play as soon as I finish writing, just for a little while." Ye Qianning nodded.

Nanxiang left in a hurry.

The princess laughed and scolded, then turned and led Ye Qianning to the side chamber of the bedroom.

As soon as the two entered the room, Ye Qianning saw a figure slowly emerge from behind the screen. He was dressed in a dark blue brocade robe with a jade belt around his waist and a calm expression. It was none other than Prince Changyang.

Ye Qianning stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Qianning greets Your Highness."

Prince Changyang raised his hand and said in a gentle tone, "No need for formalities, please have a seat."

Seeing this, the princess smiled and said, "You two chat first, I'll go and tell someone to prepare some delicate snacks." With that, she and her maids withdrew, leaving only Ye Qianning and Prince Changyang in the room.

After the maid closed the door, Prince Changyang's expression darkened, and he got straight to the point: "Qianning, I have received the letter you sent yesterday."

Ye Qianning nodded, waiting for him to continue.

"How much do you know about what happened back then?" Prince Changyang asked with a heavy tone.

Ye Qianning lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment before raising them to reply, "I already know about 70-80%. If Your Highness tells me what you know, and we piece it together, I can probably know about 90%. I just don't know if Your Highness is willing to tell me everything."

Upon hearing this, Prince Changyang remained silent, tapping his fingertips lightly on the table as he fell into deep thought.

Impure bloodline...

The matter is too important; he needs to consider it carefully.

Seeing his hesitation, Ye Qianning did not urge him, but simply sat quietly.

After a moment, she slowly spoke: "Your Highness, there is no need to rush to reply to me. I am not the only one who knows about this matter. My master, Qian's father, Gu's father, and Xiang's father are all aware of it, and we have also found some witnesses."

"what?"

Prince Changyang suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with shock, clearly not expecting so many people to know about this.

He had been hesitant about whether to tell the whole story, but after hearing these words, he had even more to consider.

If several influential people already know about this, then it can no longer be kept secret.

Ye Qianning said, "If Your Highness has not yet thought it through, please consider it carefully. I will wait here."

After much deliberation, Prince Changyang said, "This matter is of great importance and there must be an explanation. I will probe He Yuting further and then invite Elder Chen to come again."

Ye Qianning nodded, sighing inwardly. Once the truth was revealed, Prince Changyang would likely find it difficult to accept.

after all……

His children all died in the chaos...

Meanwhile, in the capital city of Beili, a thorough investigation into the wrongful conviction of the Qian family years ago has quietly begun.

In order to find out the truth as soon as possible, the Xiang family offered a huge reward: anyone who could provide clues related to the Qian family's wrongful case would receive a generous reward.

A generous reward will surely attract brave men, and once the news spread, the entire capital of Beili was mobilized that very day.

Those who knew some of the truth back then but dared not speak out for fear of power are now moved.

They all went to the designated location to tell what they knew about the situation.

Some people have witnessed former members of the Left Grand Secretary's faction having private contact with members of the Mu family.

Some people know that when thousands of families were raided, some people took the opportunity to steal a lot of important files.

Some people still remember that the official in charge of handling the Qian family case had accepted bribes from the Mu family.
