After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, she became the favorite of the Beijing group

Mrs. Xie's eyes fell on the couple like sharp swords, making them feel guilty.

"That's what happened. The person was not killed, and Tao'er didn't do it on purpose. The other party was too aggressive..." Mrs. Lin whispered.

Mrs. Xie slapped the table hard and said, "Tell the truth!"

Mrs. Lin was helpless: "Tao'er had a dispute with someone in Deyue Tower in Mizhou. I don't know if that person is the son of the eldest princess..."

Mrs. Xie took a breath of cold air when she heard it.

The Lin family's base camp is in Mizhou. It's not that Lin Tao doesn't like the prosperity of the capital, but because he caused trouble in Mizhou, it's easy to rely on the Xie family to settle it.

"This person is really, why didn't he say it earlier, otherwise he wouldn't have to be beaten." Mrs. Lin blamed.

Since the beginning, all the bear parents in the world are like this. When their children make a big mistake, they will only blame others.

Mrs. Xie's forehead twitched, and she asked, "What did he do to Master Shen?"

"Master Shen's head was broken, but the guards who followed him were unlucky and died. Sister, you see, our Taoer still has a sense of propriety and didn't beat the important people to death." Mrs. Lin said.

Mrs. Xie felt that she almost didn't know the word "property".

"The eldest princess is the emperor's biological sister, and many officials in the court have been her retainers. Why do you have to provoke her when you can't provoke anyone else?" Mrs. Xie questioned.

Mrs. Lin didn't think it was her son's fault until now, and said, "Why did he hide his identity and go to Mizhou? Isn't this asking for trouble? If he revealed his identity, everyone in Mizhou would treat him as a guest of honor."

Mizhou is not far from the capital, and it only takes a day to travel there. Now it is the twelfth lunar month and the end of the year is approaching. Mrs. Lin can't figure out why Shen Changfeng went to Mizhou at this time.

Mrs. Xie was not sure either, so she called the housekeeper to ask, "I heard someone say that Master Shen from the Princess's Mansion is now working as a clerk? What job is he doing?"

The housekeeper of the Xie Mansion was General Xie's confidant, and he was going to find out about the court's movements for his master. When he heard Mrs. Xie's question, he immediately answered, "Your Majesty loves his nephew and now lets him work in the Ministry of Works. He has done a good job and has been praised by His Majesty many times."

Mrs. Xie said, "This playboy has really changed his personality. Is it because His Majesty favors him that he praises him so much?"

The housekeeper nodded and said, "Master Shen is good at observing astronomical phenomena. The Ministry of Works likes to send him out to inspect river works. His contributions are all real, not entirely because of favoritism."

When Mrs. Xie heard this, she had a worse guess in her heart. Could it be that Shen Changfeng went to Mizhou this time to act on orders?

If so, then the nephew from her mother's family would have caused even greater trouble.

She asked the butler to open the storeroom: "Prepare a generous gift."

When Mrs. Xie saw the butler take out the key, her heart suddenly jumped. Xie Guanshi, the man of Madam Xie, used to be one of the managers of the general's treasury. Madam Xie secretly replaced Xie Xingchuan's private storehouse with a fake one. Did Xie Guanshi do the same to the public storehouse?

"Forget it, I'll go pick the gift myself." Mrs. Xie said.

The Lin couple looked at each other, and then quietly followed behind Mrs. Xie. They also wanted to see the family background of the general's house.

Mrs. Xie asked the butler: "Do you know the preferences of the eldest princess?"

"Everyone in the capital knows that the eldest princess admires the painting saint to the extreme." The butler said.

"Is there an authentic painting saint in the storeroom?" Mrs. Xie asked.

The butler took out a locked long red sandalwood box from a shelf nearby, and after opening it, the scroll inside was revealed.

Mrs. Xie breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the things were locked and should not have been replaced by Xie Guanshi.

"Are you sure this is an authentic work?" Madam Xie couldn't help asking again.

The housekeeper nodded: "After the general got this painting, he invited someone to come and identify it. It was confirmed that it was an authentic work of the painting saint. The general regarded it as a treasure. If Madam wants to use this painting as a gift, she needs the general's consent."

Madam Xie's face was ugly.

Mrs. Lin said on the side: "Sister, your nephew's life and death depends on your thoughts!"

Madam Xie also understood this truth.

The housekeeper asked on the side: "Madam, the general's mansion has never had any dealings with the princess's mansion. If you go there to give gifts this time, I'm afraid that the outside world will think that our general intends to curry favor with the princess."

Madam Xie also understood this truth. She has been privately supporting her family for many years, and her husband has turned a blind eye to it. Now that the Lin family is involved in such a deadly lawsuit, not only will Lin Xueruo's marriage be ruined, but I'm afraid her husband will not allow her to continue to have dealings with the Lin family in the future.

The Lin couple naturally realized Mrs. Xie's hesitation, and the couple sang together again: "Sister, Tao'er is the only child of our old Lin family! If something happens to him, our Lin family will be extinct!" Mrs. Xie was so annoyed by the noise that she said impatiently: "If you had known this, why didn't you restrain him? You didn't know to find him a wife to carry on the family line earlier, but just let him do whatever he wanted!" Mrs. Lin lowered her head and whispered: "Don't you want to marry him a wife from a wealthy family? Who knows that those wealthy families are so arrogant." Mrs. Xie was too lazy to scold her, and turned to the housekeeper and said: "I want this painting, and I remember there are two gem potted plants in the warehouse, take them too." The housekeeper said: "Those two gem potted plants are gifts prepared for the He family." The He family is General Xie's superior, and his family never dares to neglect any gifts.

But Mrs. Xie's eyes fell on other things in the public treasury. After looking around, there was nothing better than the gem potted plant. She thought to herself, since the original painting of the Saint of Painting had been taken, why should she care about these two things? Only by doing things to the extreme can she have a chance to save her nephew.

"I've taken them all. I will explain to the general." Mrs. Xie said.

The housekeeper agreed, and then he bumped into Mr. Lin without leaving a trace.

With a "bang", a palm-sized pure gold ornament fell from Mr. Lin's sleeve and hit the ground.

Under the gaze of the whole audience, Mr. Lin smiled awkwardly and said, "How did this thing get into my body? I just touched it and accidentally stuffed it into my sleeve."

Her brother ran to the treasury to steal, and Mrs. Xie was embarrassed by the things he did.

The housekeeper silently picked up the gold ornaments and put them into a wooden box beside him in front of everyone, saying, "It should be that the person who did it was careless and forgot to put it in the box."

Mrs. Xie spent a lot of time and finally prepared the generous gifts, but she sent the visiting card from General Xie's Mansion to the Princess' Mansion, but the other party refused to accept it at all.

When the news came back to the Xie family, Mrs. Xie's heart skipped a beat.

Mrs. Lin only put pressure on her sister-in-law: "Sister, isn't it just a little skin on your head? Why is the Princess so stingy? You should think of a solution!"
