223 I Think I Might Be…
Yun Ran sorted through the useful information she had just obtained from the old nanny.
“Although she’s muddle-headed, she seems to remember some things very clearly. Twenty-one years ago, she did run into Bai Wan. It was winter and it was snowing. Bai wan was alone. She wanted to take Bai Wan in, but it seemed like she was going to meet an old friend. She wanted that old friend to help the Bai family clear their name.”
“That’s all?” Xuanyuan Yu thought that he would be able to get some useful information. At the very least, he would know where Bai Wan had gone.
“That’s all we know. What we know now is that Bai Wan wanted to overturn the case for the Bai family back then and investigate the Bai Family’s injustice. Therefore, it’s not like there’s no way to investigate.”
Yun Ran was much calmer than Xuanyuan Yu. Her mind was also very clear at this moment.
She had already sorted out the useful clues in her mind.
“We can investigate who was on good terms with the Bai family more than 20 years ago, who had some status in the imperial court or the five countries, who had a certain level of ability, and who was worthy of Bai Wan’s trust. Then, we’ll investigate them one by one and see if they’ve seen her.”
This was indeed a direction. Since it was in the territory of the East Continent, she would leave it to the 12 Divisions of the Yuan Mansion to investigate.
Even if it happened more than 20 years ago, as long as the 12 Divisions wanted to investigate, they could find out.
Soon, news came back.
It was sent directly to Mo Beiyuan.
Back then, the Bai family was the number one aristocratic family in the five countries. Bai Xiao was the number one War God of the five countries and was a good brother who had risked his life with the emperor. Almost half of the court officials were on good terms with the Bai Family.
The aristocratic families and major sects of the five countries were also on good terms with the Bai family.
Therefore, if they were only on good terms with the Bai family, the scope would be a little wide.
However, according to the conditions Yun Ran had mentioned previously, they had to screen those who had a certain status in the imperial court or the five countries and had a certain ability; they would be people that Bai Wan trusted under those circumstances.
There were not so many.
Yunran asked the 12 Divisions to investigate those who were in-laws with the Bai family or family friends.
In addition to investigating Bai Xiao’s interpersonal relationships, they also had to investigate his wife, Yun Yin, as well as the interpersonal relations between the three young masters of the Bai family and Bai Wan. They had to look into Bai Wan’s close friends and the close friends of the three young Masters of the Bai family.
When Mo Beiyuan received the news, he glanced at it and handed it to Yun Ran.
Yun Ran also read ten lines at a glance and finally stopped at the familiar name “Yun Zhiyuan.”
It was one thing for the Bai family and the Yun family to be on good terms, but Bai Wan and Yun Zhiyuan almost got engaged when they were young. This was ridiculous.
Yun Ran scanned the secret guard who sent the message. It turned out that the Bai family was involved with Yun Zhiyuan because of Yun Yin.
Rumor had it that Yun Yin came from the clouds and was alone in the Five Nations Continent. Later on, she acknowledged someone with the same surname as her, Yun Zhiyuan’s father, as her adopted brother.
The Yun family and the Bai family were so close.
Yun Zhiyuan and Bai Wan grew up together.
Their relationship was naturally not bad.
Yun Ran did not voice the doubts that had appeared in her heart in front of Xuanyuan Yu, but in front of Mo Beiyuan, she felt that she could voice her thoughts and discuss them.
“I have some guesses. Do you want to hear them?”
Mo Beiyuan gave her a look, indicating for her to say it directly. He was listening.
Yunran licked her lips and said slowly, “I think I might be Bai Wan and Xuanyuan Yu’s child.”
