He didn't want to lie, but he didn't lie. Could he tell the truth and say that her father, General Shen, was a rebel
What's more, he just heard Xiaosi say something about it, and he hasn't verified it at all. Before the matter is investigated clearly, he doesn't want her to know, lest she worry.
"Mo Chuan, do you know what is most important between husband and wife?" Shen Ning suddenly asked.
"..." Mo Chuan looked at her.
"trust."
Shen Ning asked and answered herself, "If there is no trust between the husband and wife, then the couple will be over, and there will be no fun living in the future."
“…”
Mo Chuan gritted his teeth.
He knew that this girl was using provocation, but even though he knew it, he still took the bait.
"Okay, I'll tell you, but this matter hasn't been investigated clearly yet. You must calm down after hearing this and don't get excited. If you can agree, I will tell you."
"I promise, I won't get excited, just tell me."
Shen Ning's expression was very calm. She had already guessed that something big had happened and had been mentally prepared for it.
"Xiaosi just received news that it was... your father, General Shen, he, he..."
He hesitated.
"I... what's wrong with my dad? Is he sick? Injured? Or was there an accident?"
Shen Ning never expected that the big event that happened would be related to her original owner's biological father.
Speaking of traveling through time, she had never met Shen Fang once. She had only admired his name for a long time. She was curious, respectful, and somewhat adoring about the father of the original owner.
Because his deeds were well known to every household and everyone in the capital recited them, which made her feel proud and proud at the same time.
It would be nice if I could meet him sometime.
This thought sometimes flashed through her mind, but it only passed away briefly.
She knew that unless there was no more war between the four countries and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, Shen Fang could return to the court, or she could rush to the border all the way so that the father and daughter could meet each other.
At this time, she was surprised when she suddenly heard the news about Shen Fang.
"None of them." Mo Chuan shook his head, but decided to tell her the truth, "The news Xiaosi received is that the Protector of the Country has rebelled."
"Rebellion? Impossible." Shen Ning immediately shook her head, her face full of disbelief. She even smiled, "Others can rebel, only my father cannot."
"I also believe that the Lord Protector is not such a person, so I am preparing to find the person who reported the news for further verification to see who dared to create such vicious rumors and slander the Lord Protector."
"We need to investigate carefully. Where is the person who reported the news? I also want to listen together." Shen Ning said.
Mo Chuan knew that since she already knew about this matter, she would never ignore it. After all, it was about her biological father.
"Xiaosi, go and call the person who reported the news."
Soon, the eunuch who reported the news knelt in front of the two of them, lowered his head and repeated what he had said to Xiao Si.
Shen Ning said nothing.
This kind of national affairs should be handled by Mo Chuan. She knew that she didn't know much about national politics, and the officialdom was more complicated than she imagined, but Mo Chuan could handle it with ease.
If this matter is really caused by rumors and slander, Mo Chuan will definitely get to the bottom of it and will not let go of the person who secretly caused trouble.
"Where did the news of General Shen's rebellion come from? Where are you an official? Why haven't I seen you before?" Mo Chuan asked, staring at the eunuch.
