Chapter 396: Safe Return
Lai Ran analyzed, "Think carefully, why would the ambush be set at the border?"
"By setting it at the border, first, to block the news, and second, to prevent the Crown Prince from coming to Beilan City, that’s why the ambush was set up. If the Crown Prince had indeed mistakenly killed Yan’er, he would have no face to come to Beilan City again. From this, we can be certain that the Crown Prince did not kill Yan’er!"
During the conversation, he sighed, "I only fear that Yan’er really has encountered misfortune, and the other party is taking the opportunity to eliminate not just the Crown Prince but also our Prince Mansion."
Leng Yusheng said indignantly, "There is so much information in this letter, which parts are true and which are false?"
Lai Ran looked at the letter again, "The mark left by the Ninth Princess on the letter is so obvious, it makes me think that the other party is confident that we will believe everything written in the letter, become angry, and then head to the capital, thus falling into the trap of certain people."
"Truth and falsehood are difficult to distinguish," Lai Taihong, with a calm voice, said. "Consider this—if the Crown Prince is deposed and Yan’er is killed, under such circumstances, our Lai Family will inevitably be in conflict with the Ye Family. What is the purpose of the Ninth Princess writing this letter, is it just because she likes Ye’er?"
As her grandfather, he was unaware that his eldest grandson was favored by the Ninth Princess.
Had it not been for this letter, when was the eldest grandson planning to reveal it?
"If both families fall into a situation of irreconcilable conflict, the Ninth Princess will be caught between a rock and a hard place. In my view, there is a problem with the letter," Lai Taihong concluded. "Parts of the letter are true, and parts are false, but regardless, we must first ascertain Yan’er’s situation."
Lai Ran nodded, "Father is right! Think about it, if there was an ambush, how did these two messengers arrive at Beilan City?"
