Although Bai Wan did not want them to interfere in the Bai family’s matters, because of Yun Ran, MO Beiyuan still got someone to investigate what happened to the Bai family back then.

Now that he wanted to marry Yun Ran as soon as possible, he wanted to resolve the Bai family’s matter as soon as possible.

“Ranran, I’ll get someone to investigate the Bai family as soon as possible.”

Yun Ran nodded. In the past, she had the same thoughts as Bai Wan. She didn’t want him to interfere in the Bai family’s matters as the Yuan King of the East Continent. She felt that it was her own business. But now, they were inseparable.

She didn’t want to see him as an outsider.

“I’ll talk to my mother.”

With MO Beiyuan’s connections and power in the East Continent over the years, it should be much more convenient for him to investigate the Bai family than Xuanyuan Yu.

Currently, what they knew was that the Bai family had indeed been framed. Back then, the Bai father and sons had gone to the battlefield to kill the enemy at the same time, but they had suddenly been defeated after successive victories.

Right on the heels of that, they were charged with treason.

Later on, the four of them died tragically on the battlefield.

The emperor endured the pain in his heart and dealt with the Bai family. He eliminated the Bai family’s nine generations and exiled the other Bai family members.

The matter had developed too quickly, and the Bai father and sons had died tragically. Therefore, this case had not even been tried. It was decided as a crime.

Back then, Bai Wan was just a little girl. She believed that her father and brothers would not do anything treasonous, so she came back to beg her childhood sweetheart, Yun Zhiyuan, for help. Unexpectedly, she was imprisoned by Yun Zhiyuan.

After Xuanyuan Yu found out about Bai Wan’s identity, he used his identity as Emperor Wu’an to investigate the Bai family.

He had found out that there was a traitor beside the Bai father and son back then. That traitor had poisoned the Bai father and sons. He reckoned that this treason was also related to that traitor.

However, after the Bai family’s accident, the traitor also disappeared.

Now, it was unknown if he was still alive.

Then, there were the officials in charge of the case back then. MO Beiyuan had gotten someone to investigate. Most of these officials were either dead or missing.

It made Yun Ran think of the possibility that whoever knew about the matter had been silenced.

All these years, it was obvious that someone was worried that someone would investigate the Bai family’s treason, so they attacked anyone related to the Bai family’s case.

However, that person did not know that the more he did, the easier it was to leave traces.

The people of the 12 Divisions followed this clue and found that the person behind this was actually the wretched emperor in the palace.

When Yun Ran heard the news, she told Bai Wan and Bai Ze.

Bai Wan did not understand either. “Why would the Emperor do this? The Bai family is the guardian of the East Continent. It’s precisely because my father and brothers are around that the other countries do not dare to invade the borders of the East Continent.”

Yun Ran and the wretched emperor had interacted a few times. If it were anyone else, Yun Ran might not understand, but if this was done by the wretched emperor, it would actually be very easy to analyze.

“Because of jealousy, or rather, fear. The Emperor’s suspicion is very strong. Back then, when the Bai family was glorious, my grandfather had a god-like existence in the East Continent. My uncles were young and promising, and all of them were extraordinary. The Emperor had just ascended the throne a few years ago and he had yet to secure his power. He was probably worried that the Bai family might threaten his throne, so he planned such a crime of treason to completely eliminate the Bai family.”

When she said that, everyone understood.

Since ancient times, it had always been like this. The higher-ups did not allow the existence of people with high achievements.

However, the emperor did not just take over the Bai family’s military power. He exterminated the entire Bai family and cut off the Bai family’s bloodline.

In order to deal with the Bai family, he even disregarded the citizens of the East Continent.

He would let the Bai family be defeated and let the army of Wu’an take down the cities in the East Continent, causing the commoners to be homeless!
