But, without needing Xiao Shiqing to do anything, Xiao Jiu'an had chosen to face the rumors head on and explain the matter of her past.

According to his personality, he would never do something like that.

Unconvinced?

"Your highness is finally willing to explain, those storms in Yanbei can finally stop."

"With your skills, you must be from the Xiao Family. His Highness really doesn't believe that the Infanta is like that, and isn't like the late prince and the late wangfei either. But I feel that it's better not to be like that, if the Duke is like the Infanta, tsk tsk … "

He did not finish his sentence, but everyone present understood.

The duke had told them everything that the Shiqing Infanta had done in the capital. Although it was only his own words and there was no evidence, they knew that it was true.

What kind of person is the Prince? Do I need to find evidence to kill him?

If the prince found Shiqing unpleasing to the eye, he could have just killed him or married him off. He would have been the one to suffer the consequences.

Very quickly, the generals who were informed rushed to the ancestral hall. Some of them had already left, but in Yan Bei, the old generals who held a lot of power in the Yanbei Army had also come.

The moment the old generals came out, everyone in the room immediately stood up and bowed to them. "Old General Yan, you've come."

"Not only is Old Man Yan here, this old man is here as well. Something big has happened in Yanbei, how could this old man not come?" Before the person arrived, the voice had arrived.

An old man with a head full of white hair and a face full of red light spoke. He pushed open the door and walked in with large strides. He looked very imposing, without a trace of his old age.

"General Zhou hasn't changed at all these years." A few generals who were still in the military took the initiative to greet him.

"I can't compare to you old things. Old Man Yan, Old Man Sun and I are old." The old man called General Zhou casually sat down on the ground.

Old General Yan looked at General Zhou, who was a few years older than him. His back was a little hunched, and his legs didn't seem too good. He walked with a limp, but his spirit was gone.

Old General Yan and Old General Zhou also sat down. Not long after the two of them sat down, Xiao Jiu'an pushed a bald old man who was sitting on a wheelchair in.

There was a palm-sized scar on the left side of the old man's head. Compared to the right side of the skull, the left side of the skull was clearly concave, as if someone had cut off a piece.

Apart from this, the old man's face still had some clear spots of age on it, and his legs were empty.

The old man was the Old Man Sun that General Zhou had spoken of. The wounds on his head and the injuries on his legs were all left behind on the battlefield.

Throughout the years of battle, more or less all of them had injuries on their bodies. General Sun's injuries were the most obvious, and the others' injuries weren't light either.

Old General Zhou, Old General Sun and Old General Yan were the ones with the highest prestige in Yan Bei other than Xiao Jiu'an. These three were all related to the Prince Yanbei's Mansion by blood, and the dead Old Prince Yanbei had to call them uncle.

"Greetings uncles." Xiao Jiu'an pushed General Sun to the top and greeted General Zhou and Old General Yan.

The three old men had dedicated their entire lives to Yan Bei. Their status in Yan Bei was so low that they deserved Xiao Jiu'an's respect.

Normally, they would not go out so easily, and no one would be able to get rid of them. Today, Xiao Jiu'an had picked all three of them up, showing how much importance Xiao Jiu'an attached to them.

"That's right." Old General Zhou and Old General Yan sized up Xiao Jiu'an and nodded their heads in satisfaction.

However, in just a few years, his childish nature had faded, leaving behind only a sense of steadiness.

Their choice back then had indeed not been wrong.

Xiao Jiu'an didn't have an expression on her face. She was just like a junior, standing in front of the three elders and allowing them to size him up.

After waiting for the three of them to finish sizing him up, he moved to the side and left his home ground to the three of them.

"I'm sure everyone knows the reason for calling everyone here." The one who spoke was General Zhou. He was the youngest of the three and also the most spirited. Today, he would naturally be in charge of the overall situation.

Everyone nodded their heads. Seeing that, Old General Zhou did not waste any more words and went straight to the point: "Recently, there have been rumors in Yan Bei that the Prince is not of the Xiao Family's bloodline. Even the first wangfei's wet nurse, the mistress' wet nurse, came to us three old fellows and brought out all sorts of evidence, saying that the prince is not the young prince of that year, and is not of the Xiao Family's bloodline, but … "

Old General Zhou raised his voice as he glared viciously at the crowd.

His voice was like a loud bell, deafening everyone in the hall. Now that the volume had been raised and matched with his fierce eyes that seemed capable of eating, everyone present was shocked, but no one dared to make a sound. Especially those doubtful and uncertain generals, all of them had uneasy looks on their faces.

Actually, when they saw Old General Sun and the other two enter, they knew that there was no problem with the background of the prince. If there really was a problem, the prince wouldn't dare to invite these three.

However, it was too late for them to say anything. They had previously suspected the background of the prince. Although they hadn't done anything, they had done nothing and were extremely negative.

This kind of negativity often means betrayal. Although they didn't betray the Prince Yanbei's Mansion, they still felt a little guilty.

Old General Zhou scanned the crowd and nodded with satisfaction when he saw everyone's expressions. It was great that he knew he was guilty. At least he wasn't so stupid as to be used by others without knowing it.

Old General Zhou stood up and slammed the table heavily with his palm as he recited for Xiao Jiu'an, "I know what you guys are thinking, I'll be telling you today … No matter what you all are thinking, you better put that thought aside. The Prince is the Prince Yanbei, the personal Prince Yanbei of the Imperial Court, the heir to the Northern Xiao Family. No one has the right to question his identity. Anyone who uses their status as princes to cause trouble or spread rumors, I will never let you go! "

Old General Zhou's words were filled with righteousness, no one dared to doubt them. If one were to listen carefully, one would realize that Old General Zhou had never said that Xiao Jiu'an was from the bloodline of the Northern Xiao Family, but was actually the son of Yan Bei.

However, everyone was shocked by Old General Zhou's aura and did not notice this small problem at all.
