Chapter 303: The Secret Behind Yun Niang’s Case (2)
Jian Yi nodded and said, "After we found out that Ye Cheng Xiang caused the missing information, we followed the clues and finally found the key information."
He paused for a few seconds and said, "Yun Niang’s husband’s younger brother was actually Duan Qinwangfei’s ex-lover. Ye Cheng Xiang killed him, and then Duan Qinwangfei was forced to marry Duan Qinwang. If she refused, they would kill her ex-lover’s family. Forced by the situation, she finally agreed to marry Duan Qinwang."
Xuan Ruiquan tapped his fingers on the table and fell into deep thought. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Where is Yun Niang?"
Jian Yi answered, "Now, Yun Niang and her son are living in one of our safe houses, guarded by our people. Although they cannot go out, they are safe for the time being. From the day Emperor Yong’an asked us to investigate Yun Niang’s case, many assassins were sent to kill her and her son. It seemed that Ye Cheng Xiang really wanted to silence her and her son."
Xuan Ruiquan thought for a while and said, "Ensure the safety of Yun Niang and her son. Since Ye Cheng Xiang wants to silence them, she must know something important. Expand the scope of the investigation. Yun Niang’s case may be somehow related to Duan Qinwang and Ye Cheng Xiang’s secrets."
Jian Yi nodded and said, "Yes, Master."
After dealing with Yun Niang’s case, Xuan Ruiquan asked, "Is there anything you want to report?"
Hearing this, Jian Yi took out a document and showed it to him, "Master, you had previously ordered us to keep an eye on Rui Qinwang. This was discovered when we monitored him."
Xuan Ruiquan took the document and read it over. After he was done, Xuan Ruiquan’s face darkened. Jian looked at his expression and asked, "Master, have you discovered anything?"
