"Is your uncle named Wen Zhong?"

Song Wanyue widened her eyes in surprise, "How do you know?"

"Why did I give him the name?"

After the old man finished speaking, he realized that Chen Yan was still standing aside. He hesitated and said, "Can you let your guard out?"

"OK."

Song Wanyue waved at Chen Yan without changing her face.

Chen Yan glanced at him indifferently and turned around and went out.

The old man lowered the shop halfway, turned around and said excitedly, "I'm going to hide it from my daughter, I'm Wen Zhong's grandfather."

Song Wanyue opened her mouth wide in surprise.

"Many years ago, Huo married my eldest son and gave birth to a son and a daughter for him. Later, my son passed away, so she remarried with someone and did not allow us to visit our grandson."

"You wait..."

Song Wanyue interrupted him, "What's wrong with you? Even if you remarry with your children, you can't let you visit your grandson, right?"

The old man sighed, "This matter is a long story, and it is not convenient to tell the girl that I want the girl to do a favor. Can I tell my grandson and let him secretly see us."

"I'm afraid I can't help with this."

Song Wanyue refused without thinking, "Since Grandma Huo did not allow you to visit Uncle Wen, it must be because of what you did back then that hurt her heart. I can't turn my elbows out, unless you can tell me what happened back then? I will judge whether I should tell Uncle Wen to come to see you."

"this……"

The old man and the woman looked at each other, thinking that more than thirty years had passed, so it would be fine if they told Song Wanyue.

He gritted his teeth and said, "We were doing business in the capital. The store was very big and the business was very popular. My eldest son was good at everything and had a good business plan, which was good wine. He was drunk and he loved to be crazy and could not hold anyone back. Later, because of business matters, he and my second son had a conflict. After getting drunk, he took a knife and wanted to kill my second son. We naturally wanted to dissuade him, but somehow in the chaos, the knife was inserted into his body and my eldest son died on the spot."

Speaking of this, the old man had tears in his eyes. The pain of sending a black-haired man to the white-haired man is still there. If he hadn't wanted to see his grandson, he would never have told people about this past.

The old woman also shed tears.

Song Wanyue did not ask questions. After the old man calmed down, he continued, "My eldest daughter-in-law insisted on reporting to the official and asked the government to deal with the matter. I have only two sons, and the eldest son is dead and cannot survive. If the second son is arrested again, our old couple will not be able to live. We told her good things and asked her not to report to the official for the sake of the family. She agreed, but put forward the conditions that the two children belong to her and we will move out of the capital and we will not disturb them for the rest of our lives."

"In this way, we sold the shops in the capital and came to this small town. Occasionally, we secretly went to Beijing to inquire about their news. We felt relieved when we learned that she had married Mr. Da and brought Zhonger and Qing'er over there. Later, we rarely went to the city. But we really wanted to see my eldest grandson, but we didn't dare to go, not because we were afraid that Huo would mention the matter back then, but because our grandson would not recognize us. Girl, go back and say secretly to our eldest grandson. If he is willing to recognize us, he will naturally come to see us. If he doesn't come, we will lose our hearts."

...

On the way back, Chen Yan deliberately slowed down and looked at Song Wanyue sitting in front of Gu Yi...

He didn't expect that just a few words, Song Wanyue drew the Huo family's past from the old man. If Wan'er had this scheming back then, maybe...

No maybe...

He took a deep breath and his voice was low, "The line on the Wen family has been broken, and the rest are the people who served them back then. But after something happened, they sent them all. It would be impossible to find them for three or five days."

"Then let's take a look. After my mother's accident, her two girls did not come up. Then there are only two possibilities: one is that the two maids died; the other is that they were caught and brought back to the capital. The first one is that they were not likely to be. After all, they were two lives, and the two servants dared not kill them. The biggest possibility is to take them back to the capital. But at that time, the Xu family and your Shen family turned the capital upside down. If they killed people, they naturally would not dare to throw the body casually. So where are the bodies of these people?"

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes.

At that time, not only the city, but also within a few miles outside the city, the mass grave was not spared, and no new bodies were found.

"Does Uncle Chen know how long after my mother disappeared, Huo entered the Xu family?"

Chen Yan frowned and thought for a while, shook his head, "I can't remember."

"Let's go back and ask my uncle quickly."

Several people returned to the city gate by horse. Gu Yi and Song Wanyue got off the horse and sat back on the carriage. Chen Yan followed the carriage for a moment and said, "I'll go back to the house first. If you ask clearly, send someone to tell me."

"Okay, Uncle Chen will walk slowly."

Song Wanyue's crisp voice came from the carriage.

Chen Yan looked at the carriage deeply and left first by horse.

The carriage returned to the door of Xu Mansion and stopped. Gu Yi lifted the curtain and saw a servant standing at the door of the mansion. When he saw him, the servant immediately came forward, "Young Master."

Gu Yi only brought Xiao Si and one person over, and the rest stayed in the south city.

"Miss Xiao sent me to invite you and Miss Song to come."

Song Wanyue heard his words and asked, "But what happened to the pastry shop?"

"Don't worry, girl, nothing happened in the pastry shop, it's very prosperous."

"Go to the South City."

The coachman immediately turned his horse's head and went to Nancheng.

As the servant said, the sound of the pastry shop was very popular, and everyone in the queue was on the side of the road.

The guys smiled happily and prepared pastries for the guests.

"Yue'er."

As soon as the two of them walked into the yard, Xiao Yao came out of the house with a nervous look and gave them a note, "This is someone thrown into the yard just now."

Song Wanyue unfolded, and there were a few lines on the note: I was the butler of the Wen family back then, and I knew everything they had done back then. If you want to know the details, today, I met at this place at the beginning of Xu and brought tens of thousands of taels of silver. Remember, the fewer people, the better."

Below is the address.

Song Wanyue casually kneaded the notes into a ball and asked Gu Yi, "What do you think?"

Xiao Yao was shocked and turned her head suddenly to look at Gu Yi. Then she felt that it was inappropriate and quickly turned back. Seeing Song Wanyue's expression, she saw that she had not noticed her actions just now, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't know whether Song Wanyue asked Gu Yi's words to test or...

“Not trustworthy.”

Gu Yidao.
