Why My Domineering Prince Regretted Filing for Divorce?-Chapter 694 - 543: Watertight

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath.

Indeed—it’s not just Changle Square; even the happenings in Yanzuo Square cannot escape the eyes of Yu Wenquan. Not only does he know about Pei Xingyuan selling overpriced medicine in Changle Square, but he also knows someone is distributing medicine in Yanzuo Square.

After hearing his question, everyone turned their heads, staring intensely at Yu Wenqian.

Facing several pairs of inquisitive eyes, Yu Wenqian remained unfazed and smiled faintly, then said, "Father, why do you ask this?"

Yu Wenquan said, "Why, am I not allowed to ask?"

"Of course not,"

Yu Wenqian smiled and said, "It’s just that I, your son, don’t know who that person actually is, so I cannot answer father."

Yu Wenquan’s face showed a peculiar expression.

At this moment, Yu Wenye said, "Elder brother, someone is distributing medicine in the market under your jurisdiction, yet you don’t know who that person is? Have you not inquired about this person’s background?"

Yu Wenqian smiled slightly, "No, I haven’t."

"Why not?"

"Because, to me, finding out who is distributing medicine is far less important than curing the sick and saving lives."

"..."

"If someone were doing something bad in Yanzuo Square, I would certainly inquire; but distributing medicine to save lives is doing a good deed. Since it’s a good deed, there should be certain privileges, and there’s no need to question them, so I don’t ask."

Shang Ruyi’s eyes sparkled as she said, "Aren’t you curious who that person might be, elder brother?"

Yu Wenqian slightly raised an eyebrow, looked up at her, then smiled and said, "It seems my sister-in-law is more curious than I am."

Shang Ruyi said, "Of course."

"..."

"I am curious about what kind of person could stockpile so much medicine, remaining inconspicuous before, yet now brings it out to treat the patients in Yanzuo Square."

Yu Wenqian silently looked at her, and although the two were calm, there seemed to be sparks flying in their eyes.

After a while, Yu Wenqian chuckled lightly and said, "I understand my sister-in-law’s intentions. But this person is hiding their identity, clearly unwilling to reveal themselves. If I insist on uncovering their identity, I’m afraid it would anger them so much that they would not come forward again. If that happened, and there was no medicine for the patients in the city to treat their illnesses, wouldn’t that be my fault?"

"..."

"So, for now, I don’t want to spend too much energy on irrelevant matters."

"..."

"I also hope father and—"

Saying this, he glanced at the expressionless Yu Wenye and then smiled gently, "In short, I hope no one disturbs this person."

"..."

"Right now, saving lives is paramount."

Shang Ruyi’s heart sank slightly.

Her previous words were intended to "redirect trouble eastward," prompting Yu Wenquan to look into the matter. And indeed, Yu Wenquan did inquire about it. Even she and Yu Wenye both spoke up, but unexpectedly, Yu Wenqian, with just a few words, deflected all three of their questions like a deft maneuver.

He even went as far as to assert that whoever seeks to uncover this person’s true identity is obstructing the rescue efforts.

Yu Wenquan looked at him for a while but said no more.

His two sons, although one is gentle and the other stern, are very similar in their core, having their own plans and decisions. Even as their father, holding great authority, he may not be able to fully control their actions.

To a father who hopes his sons will soon become independently accomplished, this is indeed a good thing.

But, having two sons somewhat uncontrollable also makes him a bit uneasy.

After a long silence, Yu Wenquan finally let out a deep sigh and said, "As your father, I was merely asking and won’t interfere with your matters."

After saying this, he turned to Yu Wenye and said, "So, you won’t pursue Pei Xingyuan’s selling of medicine either."

Yu Wenye glanced at Yu Wenqian and said, "Saving lives is paramount."

"..."

This time, the silence was longer, until Yu Wenquan let out a long sigh.

He, who was energetic and even prepared to reach the peak of his life, suddenly felt a bit old at this moment...

This had never happened before.

He said, "Alright then."

After speaking, he picked up his chopsticks as if he wanted to eat again, but looking at the large bowl of fish on the table, he had no appetite. After a long silence, he put down the chopsticks, then said, "Well, you all have had a long day today, go back and rest early."

"Yes."

After saying this, the three stood up, preparing to leave the dining hall. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

At this moment, Aunt Hui led two young maidservants in to clear the tableware, seeing the leftover dishes, she turned to one of the young girls and said, "Go tell the kitchen not to cook these dishes again tomorrow."
