Chapter 499 We have money and food, so we are not afraid of them
Shen Yuan and Su Wanwan naturally ignored these discussions.
They don't care what their identity is.
But now every time she goes out, people always recognize her and have to greet her.
I felt uncomfortable at first, but gradually I got used to it.
Su Wanwan has been quite busy these days, because Master Sun from the school invited her to teach arithmetic, and he himself also has to learn like a student.
Su Wanwan thought that she had nothing to do, so she started her teaching career for a month.
She just taught Arabic numerals and some simple vertical calculations, and finally went a little deeper and taught simple equations.
It was as if a new world had opened up for Master Sun, and he had all kinds of questions to ask every day.
Su Wanwan was not a teacher after all. Seeing that Master Sun had almost mastered everything in half a month, she taught him arithmetic again.
In April, the people Shen Yuan sent to the mountain finally came back, bringing back a piece of stone dug from the mountain as they wished.
It was sent by Jiang Shun.
He had asked a specialized craftsman to examine the stone, and it was confirmed that it was indeed iron ore.
"Brother Yuan, there's something wrong with the beast on that mountain. I'm afraid it's difficult to deal with."
Jiang Shun also brought other news.
Their people couldn't get close at all because the beast had a keen sense of smell. This time, in order to gather information, their people disguised themselves as farmers and hunters and went in.
Because of this, one of his brothers was killed and was swallowed by a wild beast.
If that brother hadn't led the beast away, it would have been difficult for the others to escape.
"Settle his family well and give him more silver."
Shen Yuan's eyes were filled with sorrow when he heard this.
Su Wanwan was also standing by, and when she heard their conversation, her eyebrows furrowed.
"What's wrong with those beasts?"
Can anyone control wild beasts?
Jiang Shun immediately replied:
"The beasts are in a state of madness. Some beasts will not attack humans if you don't provoke them, but those beasts are rushing around like they are bewitched. Not only are they like this to humans, I guess all the herbivorous beasts on the mountain are about to be eaten by them."
Shen Yuan's expression suddenly changed:
"Someone is controlling those beasts, making them go crazy."
Jiang Shun was also suspicious:
"How can there be someone in this world who can control beasts?"
With so many ferocious beasts, Jiang Shun didn't quite believe it.
"It could also be powder."
Su Wanwan also said that she felt the possibility of it being medicine powder was very high.
Shen Yuan nodded:
"Send someone to check various pharmacies to see if there is any medicine that can make animals go crazy, and if there is an antidote."
After Jiang Shun left, Su Wanwan immediately took out her cell phone and started searching.
The drugs that can make wild animals go crazy that come up when searching on Baidu are all chemical substances, which are obviously not something that can be produced in this era.
I can only say it's too fantastic.
"Wanwan, I think this matter is difficult to deal with. If it is really a ferocious beast protecting the mountain, even if we send troops there, the casualties will be heavy."
Su Wanwan put down her phone.
"Did you guess who it was?"
Su Wanwan actually guessed it, but she was not quite sure.
Shen Yuan did not hide it.
"It could very well be my second uncle, but I suspect there is someone behind him. And this iron mine may not be his own doing. If you want to implicate him, you must get solid evidence."
Su Wanwan was a little puzzled. She had always thought that Huo Yuan's grandfather asked Huo Yuan to hide his identity and stay away from trouble because he had noticed the ambitions of other members of the Huo family and was afraid that the Huo family would be destroyed, so he wanted to leave a descendant for the Huo family.
Could it be that it was not the Huo family who wanted to rebel, but someone else, and the Huo family's eldest and second uncles were just a cover?
"That person must be found, and we must also find where they keep their troops."
Sure enough, Shen Yuan continued to speak.
That person is the real person behind the scenes.
After saying this, Shen Yuan's face was filled with pain. He actually didn't want to get involved in these things.
His grandfather told him that no matter what he heard or encountered in the future, he should not care about it, and he would be an ordinary person from then on.
He is the last root of the Huo family.
But now is different.
His conscience and his identity as a daughter-in-law prevented him from pretending to know nothing.
Not to mention that the current Majesty is a good Majesty who is diligent in his work and loves the people. The world is stable and everything is slowly getting better. If there is another turmoil, the common people will suffer.
Not to mention, the Huns might take the opportunity to attack, and then there would be internal and external troubles, and the people would suffer.
The Huo family has truly become the sinners of the world!
His grandfather had devoted his entire life to the people. His sincerity was evident to all. He could not allow his grandfather's contributions to be reduced to ashes because of this war.
He really couldn't just sit back and watch his grandfather bear the stigma.
Besides, his wife is now a princess, and his mother-in-law is the Princess Protector of the Nation, so he is also protecting his wife's family!
If he does nothing and lets the situation develop, his wife's identity will also be doomed.
"Your Majesty is still too merciful. Grandfather and I both believe that within two years, Your Majesty will get rid of the Huo family."
Shen Yuan sighed softly, he never thought that this matter would develop to this point.
"So after I met you, I wanted you to recognize the princess, thinking that if my identity was exposed, the princess would be able to protect you."
Speaking of this, Shen Yuan felt a little annoyed.
"Who would have thought that, until today, His Majesty has not taken action against the Huo family. Wife, it's all my fault for dragging you into this vortex."
Shen Yuan hugged Su Wanwan, his eyes full of regret.
If his wife's identity had not been made public, perhaps he could have continued to hide with her.
"No, it's not your fault, it's God's will."
Su Wanwan hugged him back.
She knows about this.
Shen Yuan has always been worried about the identity of the Huo family. He is afraid that his identity will be exposed and he will not be able to escape the blame after the entire Huo family is executed.
He might not have been afraid before, after all, he never thought he could survive.
But after meeting her, he began to be afraid.
So he wanted to find a strong backer for her to protect her safety, and he couldn't wait to let her and the princess meet.
Unexpectedly, the Huo family is still doing well and has even planned a big one.
Su Wanwan really didn’t think Shen Yuan had done anything wrong. It seemed as if everything was destined by heaven.
"Shen Yuan, even if you weren't here, I would definitely look for my relatives, find my mother, and restore my identity. The Huo family would still be like this. I also think that even if I wasn't here, you wouldn't really follow your grandfather's advice and sit back and do nothing."
"You will take care of it. You are a majestic general. You care about the people. As long as the people are in trouble, you will still rush to the front line."
Su Wanwan's words soothed Shen Yuan's anxiety like a cool summer breeze.
Shen Yuan choked with sobs and hugged his wife tightly.
What his wife said was right. Even if he didn't have a wife, he would not have just sat back and watched when he encountered these things.
She understood him so well. She knew him so well.
How lucky he is.
"Shen Yuan, we have money and food, so we are not afraid of them. Let's go to the capital together this time and find a way to see grandfather."
Su Wanwan suddenly said.
She always felt that it was not a good idea for Shen Yuan to remain anonymous.
