Chapter 595 Wu Yan’s hidden worries and Wu She’s speculations!

"Greetings to Lord Wu She, Wu Yan thanks Lord Wu She for saving my life!"

Led by the maid, Wu Yan walked through the courtyard and corridors and finally arrived at Wu She's study. As the door of the study was open, Wu Yan could see the scene inside at a glance.

He walked into the study without hesitation, and once he entered the room, he knelt on both knees and kowtowed to Wu She to express his gratitude. This series of actions was quick and decisive, as if he had already practiced it countless times in his mind.

Wu She was startled when he saw Wu Yan's behavior, then he stood up and walked quickly to Wu Yan's side. He stretched out his hands, helped Wu Yan up steadily, and said with a smile: "Haha, you are too polite, I just saved you by chance. But Wu She was a little confused, who was so bold as to hurt you?"

Wu She's voice was gentle and steady, but it revealed an unquestionable majesty. His sharp eyes stared at Wu Yan, as if he wanted to see through his appearance to see his true thoughts deep in his heart.

Wu She was so concerned about this matter not only because he saved Wu Yan's life, but more importantly, he wanted to take this opportunity to find out if there was anything he could use. After all, Wu Rui, the King of Hengshan, was also a powerful force in the local area. If he could take this opportunity to establish contact with him, or even recruit him for his own use, it would undoubtedly be a great thing for Wu She.

However, at this moment, Wu Yan heard Wu She's words, and he suddenly felt a strong sense of hesitation. This hesitation was not only because of his hesitation about what Wu She said, but more importantly, he didn't know whether he should speak out the question frankly.

Since waking up, Wu Yan began to think deeply about this matter. In the process of repeated thinking, he gradually realized that there was something wrong. At first, Wu Yan thought that Wu Rui wanted to get rid of him because of what he said. But after careful consideration, he felt that this idea was a bit far-fetched.

Although Wu Rui had a stubborn personality, he was definitely not the kind of person who would not listen to advice. Even if he suggested Wu Rui to consider surrendering because he felt that he had little chance of winning against Gao Yao, this would not make Wu Rui want to kill him. After all, no matter how angry Wu Rui was, he would not kill his own son.

Although the father-son relationship between Wu Yan and Wu Rui seemed a little weak due to the large number of children and Wu Yan's own background, the blood relationship between them was an unchangeable fact. Even if Wu Rui was dissatisfied with Wu Yan, usually, he would at most severely reprimand Wu Yan or put him under house arrest temporarily, and would never be so cruel as to put him to death.

As he thought more deeply, Wu Yan felt that this matter was full of weirdness and irrationality. He began to realize that there were many unknown secrets behind this matter. Although he was not completely sure what these things that were wrong meant, he quickly figured out one thing - this matter must be related to his family.

After all, it was the steward of the Hengshan Palace who asked him to go to the appointment. Wu Yan did not fail to consider other possibilities, such as whether other princes wanted to use the killing of him to destroy the possible cooperation between Wu Rui and Gao Yao. But after careful consideration, he felt that this possibility was not great. After all, if someone really wanted to do it, he would definitely not be the first target. Although he was the heir of Wu Rui, his identity and status were relatively low, and he was not of much use to those princes.

Even if he really wanted to attack someone, according to common sense, it should definitely be the eldest son Wu Can. How could it not be his turn? Moreover, the other party was able to successfully mobilize the housekeeper, which was too difficult to deal with. You know, this housekeeper was an old man who had been with Wu Rui since he was not yet successful. Over the years, no matter how many ups and downs and bumps he had experienced, he had never left.

In this mansion, Wu Rui's wives were very courteous to the housekeeper, and all kinds of generous treatments were given to him, not even inferior to some officials. It can be said that the housekeeper had a very respected position in the mansion, and there was absolutely no reason for him to betray Wu Rui!

Not only that, most of Wu Rui's descendants, including Wu Yan, respected this butler very much. After all, they all grew up watching this butler, and they had a deep affection for each other. Because of this, although Wu Yan felt that it was a bit strange to meet outside the city, he did not doubt it too much, because he trusted this butler very much.

When Wu Yan calmed down and thought carefully, he suddenly realized that there were many unreasonable things. If Wu Rui wanted to kill him, there was no need to go through so much trouble, because there were simpler methods to choose from. Even if Wu Rui wanted to use his death to delay cooperation, it would undoubtedly be a wiser choice to find an opportunity in the city to let him die near Wu She.

After careful consideration and careful reasoning, Wu Yan gradually realized that the only person who could command the old housekeeper in his own mansion was Wu Can. After all, Wu Can was now the eldest son of the Hengshan Palace and also Wu Rui's most beloved son. Only he had enough power and influence to persuade the old housekeeper to cooperate with this plan.

Thinking of this, Wu Yan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He could even guess part of the reason why Wu Can attacked him - it was probably because he participated in that meeting. Because he was valued by Wu Rui, Wu Can was jealous. In order to maintain his position and power in the mansion, he decided to get rid of this potential competitor.

Although Wu Yan felt very uncomfortable with this speculation, he knew in his heart that this was probably the most common sense explanation. After all, in the face of power and interests, family affection often becomes fragile. Wu Yan couldn't help but sigh that even if he was a brother, the other party could be so cruel and kill him. This really made people feel chilling and sad.

This is also the reason why Wu Yan feels difficult to speak up when facing Wu She's question. After all, this is also his own business. Now he has to put it out in the open for Wu She to know. Wu Yan naturally feels embarrassed.

What's more, now is the time when the two families may go to war at any time. If I tell the truth at this time, I may become a traitor.

Little did he know that Wu Yan's hesitation at this time made Wu She more certain of his guess. There really was something behind this matter.
