Thinking about how neglected he had been during this time, the boy couldn't help but sigh: "When can my second brother marry me a sister-in-law? They say that after a man gets married, his heart is set, and he can take care of his family."
If you are gentler, your temperament can be gentler."
Ah Yuan touched her nose after hearing this.
The third young master is indeed still young and naive.
It is true that many men will undergo these changes after getting married, but those who are considerate and gentle are reserved for other people's wives. What does it have to do with being a younger brother?
Oh, it's true - maybe I won't have time to talk to my brother at all.
Wu Ran was completely unaware of the cruel thoughts in A Yuan's heart. He just sat in a chair with a cup of tea and waited obediently for his second brother to come out.
After waiting like this for about two quarters of an hour, I finally got my second brother out of the study.
However, at this moment, a young man came over and said: "The prince has sent someone to invite the grandson to go to the outer study to talk."
Grandpa is looking for him?
Wu Chao heard this and went over without any delay.
Wu Ran sighed, looking resentfully at the back of his second brother as he left.
Sure enough, I couldn't play chess with my second brother today.
Wu Chao soon came to the front yard.
After the boy finished reporting, the door to the study room was opened, and Wu Chao walked in and saluted the thin-cheeked but solemn old man sitting behind the desk.
"grandfather--"
Then he turned around slightly, raised his hand and saluted again: "Second uncle."
The man he called his second uncle was wearing a long, light taupe-colored gown. He had a handsome and elegant appearance. He was nearly forty years old and had not grown a beard, nor did he look old. His hair was neatly combed into a bun, but it was tied up.
It is not a thing of gold and jade, but a beautifully pruned plum branch, with a few yellow plums blooming just right on the branch. It is fresh and elegant, but also reveals a bit of a romantic and unruly atmosphere.
Many people in the Wu family are born with good looks, and among the brothers and sisters of Wu Jingming's generation, the most handsome one is the second master Wu Jingling.
This person is beautiful and self-aware, and likes to show her beauty to others. She has always paid great attention to dressing up. Even though she has lived to this age, she is still unwilling to give up the opportunity to shine in terms of beauty to young people.
people.
However, at this time, his face no longer had the relaxed and leisurely smile of the past. He raised his head to look at his nephew and reluctantly showed a complex yet guilty smile.
Wu Chao looked at it and felt a little confused.
What other disgusting things did the second uncle do?
"Sit down and talk." King Dingnan said.
"yes."
After Wu Chao sat down as he was told, he asked: "I wonder why my grandfather called his grandson here?"
"The person who took advantage of the chaos to shoot you with secret arrows when you were on your way to the capital has been found -" As King Dingnan spoke, he looked coldly at his second son sitting there: "Tell me about it."
Seeing this scene, Wu Chao couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Could it be that...the person who wanted to harm him behind the scenes was his second uncle?
Although the second uncle is the elder closest to him in the family, the young man's imagination is still a little unable to contain it after being stimulated previously.
After all, for him right now, he is in a state where "everything is possible" in his mind.
But it only took a moment for reason to overwhelm this unrestrained association.
My father has been in the capital all year round. He has only taken over the affairs of the clan for a few years, and part of the management power has always been in the hands of his second uncle——
It was naturally impossible for my grandfather to explain the matter of fake death through him. In this case, the person who could handle the arrangements would probably be the second uncle.
And the man in black who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to attack him obviously leaked the news. Where did the news leak out? Now it seems that it should have fallen on the second uncle.
Sure enough, I heard my second uncle sigh, look at him and say: "My second uncle didn't even know that something like this happened in the process. After your grandfather mentioned it, he didn't dare to be careless at all, and immediately transferred the person who was responsible for this matter.
Everyone investigated carefully... At the end of the investigation, we found out that someone had accidentally leaked the plan..."
"Accidentally?" Wu Chao keenly captured the key point.
How could such an important top-secret plan be accidentally leaked?
"Yeah... It's also my fault that I'm not strict in employing people, so this mistake happened." Wu Jingling said with a complex expression: "This person is my personal attendant, and he often goes in and out of Yingyue Tower with me..."
Yingyue Tower is a famous brothel in the city, and it is also the only place that Wu Chao would "patronize" - the real owner behind this brothel is Wu Jinling.
On the surface, this brothel is a place of romance, but its more important role is to secretly collect intelligence and various news.
King Dingnan and Wu Chao knew this very well.
Although Wu Chao once thought that this was a method his second uncle came up with after he was often scolded for visiting brothels too frequently - using the name of running an intelligence building to visit brothels openly.
Under the watchful eyes of his father and nephew, Wu Jinling continued: "...But who would have expected that he secretly fell in love with a prostitute named Lan Xiang... When the matter was found out, he also
Not daring to hide anything anymore, I confessed that I had mentioned this matter to Lan Xiang once when I was drunk."
As Wu Chao thought, he frowned slightly subconsciously.
According to this, the problem is... the one named Lan Xiang in Yingyue Tower?
Moreover, the name of the second uncle’s personal attendant may have been said accidentally, but it was most likely that someone deliberately got him drunk and tricked him into saying it——
"After hearing this, I had someone secretly torture Lan Xiang, and sure enough - there is indeed something wrong with this person." When Wu Jinling said this, he was vaguely indignant: "After this woman confessed, she was the governor of Lizhou in the previous dynasty.
My daughter, after Lizhou fell into the city, she was still young, so she saved her life, changed her name, and infiltrated into the Yingyue Tower. She has been waiting for opportunities to plot revenge against my Wu family bloodline."
The governor of Lizhou City resisted desperately and refused to surrender. After the Wu family's army invaded the city, the governor committed suicide on the city tower.
Wu Chao had heard of this past incident.
And he completely understood what his second uncle said.
The person who leaked the secret was the person close to the second uncle, and the person who had ulterior motives was Lan Xiang from the Yingyue Tower of the second uncle - a descendant of the former governor of Lizhou.
All in all, these two things happened under the second uncle's nose.
"After she learned about the general plan on her way to Beijing, she ordered an old servant left behind by her father to follow her all the way, hoping to take advantage of the chaos and harm your life - this old servant has also been caught, and he is not responsible for what he did.
They have all confessed."
Wu Jingling looked at his nephew, a little embarrassed, but more guilty, "Generally speaking, this is the case. This matter is ultimately the fault of the second uncle, A Yuan, otherwise, why don't you give the second uncle a good beating to suppress his shock?"
The young man said seriously: "If I really beat my second uncle, I'm afraid my second uncle won't be able to bear it."
