After the divorce, I was adorned in a phoenix robe, while my ex-husband's entire family dug up

Pei Yi encountered a minor emergency that day. All he knew was that Wei Zhaoning was talking to General Xiao. When he returned, he discovered that Xiao He had "come back to life."

Before he could even get a clear answer, another problem arose over there. Now that he finally had some free time, he wanted to come and ask what was going on.

Seeing that he didn't know how to start the conversation, Xiao He had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

Although he had only recently returned to the capital, he was a shrewd judge of character and knew that the relationship between Wei Zhaoning and the Regent was definitely not ordinary.

He didn't know why the Regent suddenly wanted to marry his younger sister, but he had clearly seen before that the Regent had no feelings for Xiao Mengxi at all, so there must be something wrong.

Although he really wanted his younger sister to marry the person she loved, he also understood that if she married someone who didn't love her, she would definitely regret it. Once she was in that situation, it would be for the rest of her life. So he wasn't really optimistic about the marriage.

He was silent for a moment, then said, "You shouldn't doubt her."

The Regent felt a sudden jolt in his heart. He had considered many possibilities over the past few days, but he had never dared to face the fact that he had truly wronged Wei Zhaoning. Now, Xiao He had given him a definite answer, which made him feel extremely guilty.

Xiao He then told the Regent about his and Wei Zhaoning's entire plan.

Pei Yi had no idea how he got out.

What exactly did he do? How upset will Wei Zhaoning be after he said that?

After leaving the Xiao residence, Pei Yi looked at Yun Ce. His face was grim as he asked, "How is she?"

His feelings had been complicated these past few days. He felt guilty and suspicious of Wei Zhaoning because he couldn't have her. He tried his best to avoid asking about Wei Zhaoning, but now he couldn't hold back any longer.

Yun Ce knew immediately that his master was asking about Miss Wei. Although the prince deliberately avoided knowing about Miss Wei, he hadn't missed a single piece of news about Wei Zhaoning these past few days.

"Your Highness, Miss Wei...she has returned to the General's Mansion."

Pei Yi frowned. "Back to the General's Mansion? Explain yourself clearly. What do you mean by that?"

Seeing that his master was about to lose his temper, Yun Ce broke out in a cold sweat. He carefully said, "Miss Wei has broken ties with Marquis Lu. She has now returned to the General's Mansion and is preparing to stay for a long time."

Pei Yi felt a string snap in his heart, and some vague things surfaced deep within him. He felt that something was wrong.

Lu Zhufeng had just been promoted when she returned to the Marquis's mansion and separated from him. Now that Lu Zhufeng has fallen from power, she has returned to the General's mansion.

Did she really return to the Marquis's mansion because she still had feelings for Lu Zhufeng?

The more Pei Yi thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. A surge of elation rose in his heart, accompanied by fear and sorrow.

Wei Zhaoning may not like Lu Zhufeng anymore, but how is he supposed to face Wei Zhaoning now? He and Xiao Mengxi are about to get married.

"Yun Ce, prepare the carriage to go to the Princess's residence."

He knew he had no right to ask or apologize, so he could only go to Shen Shu, who was the only person he could contact who was close to Wei Zhaoning.

County Palace.

When Shen Shu saw the Regent arrive, she pretended not to see him. She was furious. She thought so highly of her royal uncle. How could he get engaged and married to someone else over such a trivial matter?

She knew Wei Zhaoning's personality best. She must have returned to the Marquis's residence because of some secret that she couldn't tell anyone. Even she was keeping it from him, only the Regent Prince couldn't see through it!

Pei Yi finally caught her, "Ningning, she..."

"How dare you ask? Imperial Uncle, I'm not trying to be mean, but you really don't understand Ningning."

When Pei Yi heard her say that, he felt that his suspicions were getting closer and closer.

"I misunderstood her. I know I have no right to appear in front of her again, and she definitely doesn't want to see me either. Please do me a favor and let me see her, at least let me apologize."

This was the first time in Shen Shu's memory that she had ever heard her high and mighty imperial uncle beg for help in such a humble manner.

She was touched, but she still wouldn't budge. "What good will your apology do? Aren't you going to elope with your Xiao family girl?"

Ningning doesn't need your apology. You've let her down and hurt her. You can't kill her and then say sorry, can you?

Now that you're getting married, don't appear in front of Ningning anymore. It'll be better for both of you!

Pei Yi pondered for a moment, "Do you know why she went to the Marquis's residence?"

Shen Shu: "I don't know, but Imperial Uncle, don't you even use your brain? If Ningning really couldn't let go of Lu Zhufeng, she wouldn't have returned to the Prince's Mansion with you in the first place. It definitely wasn't because of that!"

Pei Yi's body trembled. He suddenly realized that since Xiao He's resurrection, the Crown Prince had not made any moves. He had sent people to investigate whether the Crown Prince was plotting something, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the Crown Prince's army was demoralized.

Could it be...?

As he got closer to the truth, Pei Yi felt like his scalp was about to explode and his heart was pounding like a drum.

Was Wei Zhaoning infiltrating the Marquis's residence to gather information in order to deal with the Crown Prince?!

Upon learning the truth, there was ecstasy, but once calmed down, only confusion remained.

What can he do now that he knows?

Why didn't he realize it sooner? He never makes any mistakes, but when it comes to matters of the heart, he's so stubborn and can't see things clearly.

But now... now he's going to marry someone else!

By a twist of fate, by a twist of fate.

Seeing that his expression was getting increasingly strange, Shen Shu couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, why are you so determined to marry that girl from the Xiao family? I know you like Wei Zhaoning, do you have some kind of leverage over the Xiao family?"

She regretted asking as soon as she did. Who in this world would dare to use any leverage against her royal uncle?

But she really couldn't understand it. She thought and thought and there was only one reason that could explain it: her uncle had fallen in love with Xiao Mengxi.

She felt something was off about this, but she didn't think her uncle was the type to be fickle.

Pei Yi felt his mind was in turmoil. He had too many things weighing on his mind, and he didn't know if he had really offended Xiao Mengxi that night.

He was certain that he would not lose control, even with the strongest aphrodisiac.

The problem is that he really doesn't remember anything.

His mind was in turmoil, and since he was already engaged to Xiao Mengxi and would take full responsibility, he told Shen Shu about what happened that day.

Shen Shu's eyes widened. "You mean, that night at the welcome banquet at the Xiao residence, you and Xiao Mengxi!"

Pei Yi nodded helplessly, "I feel like something's not right, but I don't remember anything."

He later checked and confirmed that he had indeed released a lot of energy that night. He must have had something happen with someone, but he didn't know if it was Xiao Mengxi, which was why he didn't dare face Wei Zhaoning.

Shen Shu trembled upon hearing this. Something was wrong.

Something went wrong!
