Lan Ci is not foolish; he sees the situation clearly.
He voiced what many were thinking, "Brother, you wouldn't be planning a rebellion, would you?"
"Rebellion?"
Xie Yunzhen raised his brows, "The Duke Mansion is loyal to the Royal Family, don't spread rumors."
The more he said, the more dangerous Lan Ci felt it was.
The Royal Family has so many people... who knows to whom he is truly loyal?
If there were a change...
Such thoughts were too treasonous; Lan Ci dared not think deeply, fearing he might misunderstand his brother-in-law.
He cupped his hands, "I follow brother's arrangements."
His straightforwardness made Xie Yunzhen quite satisfied.
If it were Xie Yunxuan, he would probably ask a lot of questions.
It's not about not trusting his own brother, but sometimes, Lan Ci can do the ruthless things that Yun Xuan might not be able to do.
In some ways, Lan Ci is a lot like himself, which is one of the reasons Xie Yunzhen appreciates him.
