If it were any other request, even if it involved gold and silver jewelry, Yu Wenquan would agree without hesitation while holding his little grandchild. But upon hearing that Shang Ruyi wanted to leave the palace to visit the Shen Family and meet with Shen Shiyan and his wife, he hesitated for a moment.
This time around at the Hot Spring Palace case, although only the Pei Family members were involved, the reports from the officials stated clearly that when the assassins appeared, Pei Xu and Shen Shiyan were together.
These two individuals are not only his loyal officials but also old friends who have supported each other in times of hardship; they are confidants. Thus, even though Pei Xingyuan was involved with rebels from Wanggang Village and was captured and imprisoned, he did not act against Pei Xu, only placing him under house arrest. Still, suspicion, once it takes root, is very difficult to control.
Yu Wenquan gradually gathered his smile: "You want to visit your uncle?"
