Jiang Fan chuckled: "Doesn't everyone know that I am investigating them? Be careful, I am not as casual as before."
"That's true." Cao Zijian nodded: "Okay, leave this matter to me. There should be some news within three months."
Jiang Fan nodded: "Okay, let's talk about the third thing next."
He thought for a moment and looked a little cautious: "This matter is very important. I'm not sure whether I should tell you or not."
"Oh?" Cao Zijian was a little curious: "There are not many things that can make you tangled."
Jiang Fan pondered for a moment and finally said: "I want to ask you to do something for me, related to Xiaohong."
Cao Zijian was stunned for a moment: "What about Man'er?"
Jiang Fan nodded and suddenly stared at him: "Should I trust you?"
Looking at his suspicious eyes, Cao Zijian was a little annoyed and said: "I said, I like this sister the most, don't you know?"
Jiang Fan smiled and said hurriedly: "Second uncle, don't be angry. I am also being cautious."
Cao Zijian said displeasedly: "Tell me, what is going on?"
Jiang Fan said slowly: "Help me protect my mother-in-law..."
There was a muffled thunder, and Cao Zijian was stunned.
"...father-in-law...mother-in-law?"
"Oh, she's your aunt, Man'er's biological mother."
Cao Zijian rolled his eyes: "Isn't it good to call me mother-in-law? What is this name...wait?" He suddenly came back to his senses: "What did you just say? Protect her? Why?"
Jiang Fan frowned: "...the reason is very complicated..."
Seeing his hesitation, Cao Zijian was a little confused: "As my father's favorite concubine, my aunt lives deep in the palace. Who can harm him? Who do you want me to be wary of?"
Jiang Fan sighed softly: "It's the palace. The most unsafe place is there."
Cao Zijian became more and more confused: "The palace of Wei is almost the safest place in the entire Wei State, so why is it so dangerous? Can you make it clearer?"
Jiang Fan pondered and seemed to be phrasing his words: "...if I told you that it is your father who you should be wary of...what would you think?"
Cao Zijian almost jumped up and looked at him in surprise: "Did you take the wrong pill before you came out?"
"No." Jiang Fan smiled bitterly: "I'm just worried, but I'm beyond my reach. I hope you can pay more attention."
Cao Zijian was a little angry: "Jiang Fan, you'd better speak clearly. You have unreasonable suspicion that my father wants to harm my aunt? Are you trying to sow discord?"
Jiang Fan sighed: "I hope it's just suspicion. But it's very possible... If you don't believe it, your aunt... is a spy."
"A secret agent?" Cao Zijian was shocked and seemed to doubt his ears: "Did I hear you right? What nonsense are you talking about? My aunt is a secret agent?"
"Although you don't believe it...but it is the truth." Jiang Fan said helplessly.
Cao Zijian really didn't believe it: "My aunt came from a famous family in the Wei Dynasty. She married my father at the age of sixteen. It has been twenty years now. We have been close friends and respectful to each other as guests. Now you tell me that she is a spy?"
"Whether you believe it or not, this is a fact. It's not just her, but the entire Shangguan family of the famous Wei family..."
She was the princess just now, and now the entire Shangguan family is. Cao Zijian was so shocked that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear: "Are you sure you're not just talking nonsense?"
Jiang Fan nodded: "This is true, otherwise I wouldn't be in such a difficult situation and would still ask for your help."
Cao Zijian looked at him carefully for a long time, and found that his expression was serious, with no intention of lying or teasing, and he couldn't help but become serious.
"What's going on? If my aunt is a spy, what is she doing lurking in the palace?"
Jiang Fan said: "lurking in the palace is, of course, spying on your father. I'm afraid you can think of this answer, but you just don't want to think about it."
Cao Zijian looked horrified: "Who is she? Why did she do this?"
Jiang Fan thought for a while: "This matter must not be leaked to the outside world. It is enough for you to know that she and the entire Shangguan family are survivors of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
As soon as he said this, Cao Zijian's eyes flashed and he felt a little surprised.
"The remnants of the Great Zhou... So that's it, is she doing it for the Great Zhou?"
Jiang Fan said: "The less you know about some things, the better. Just remember and take more precautions to ensure that nothing happens to her."
Cao Zijian suddenly gritted his teeth: "Why? As a secret spy, she must have an ulterior motive for hiding in the palace, and may even harm my father and the Wei Dynasty. I should expose her to my father."
Jiang Fan shook his head and chuckled: "She just inherited her identity because of her family's behavior. She has not done anything to harm your family and country."
"If it's as you said...why do you think your father will harm her?"
Jiang Fan looked at him and felt that Mr. Cao was too careless sometimes: "Who is your father? Once you know this, what will be the consequences?"
Cao Zijian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly took a breath of air. With my father's style, I will definitely die without rebirth. If so, Cao Ying still has to collapse?
Seeing that he finally understood, Jiang Fan sighed: "Your father probably doesn't know yet, but I can't say for sure. After all, King Wei is not an ordinary person. Whether you know it or not, once the time comes, your aunt will be in danger. So. You have to help, just for Cao Ying."
Cao Zijian sighed gloomily, "So since she is the inherited identity and the Shangguan family is a spy, how should we deal with it?"
Jiang Fan said calmly: "You don't have to worry about this. It won't take long for the Shangguan family to disappear in Wei."
Cao Zijian was stunned for a moment: "How do you know?"
Jiang Fan said: "I have my own channels, don't worry, the information is very reliable."
Cao Zijian looked at him suspiciously, but knew that nothing could be gained by asking. Turning around, he felt a little depressed and a little depressed: "I originally thought that the relationship between father, eldest brother and me was already complicated, but I didn't expect that even my aunt...my family, why is it like this..."
Jiang Fan didn't know how to comfort him, "Actually, it's not over yet. Not only do you have to be wary of your father, you also have to be wary of someone else in this matter, Xia Houchun."
Cao Zijian said depressedly: "He was also involved in this matter?"
Jiang Fan shook his head: "Not yet, but I always feel that this person is a bit weird, so please pay more attention."
Cao Zijian could only nod in agreement: "Does Man'er know?"
Jiang Fan looked a little bitter: "I just learned that it will be a big blow to her. I'm afraid that she will lose her mind and reveal her fault, so I'm asking you."
Cao Zijian stared at him: "Jiang Fan, can you tell me whether you have anything to do with this?"
Jiang Fan smiled bitterly: "To be honest, it's about being passive."
"Is it related to passivity?" Cao Zijian was a little confused.
Jiang Fan said: "You can understand that I was also involved, and I was not the instigator of this matter."
Cao Zijian looked at him seriously for a moment: "But if you tell me, it means you have nothing wrong with you. Okay, I believe you."
