Shen Zhengyi frowned and looked back at his eldest son.

King Jin has been vague about the death of Princess Jin so far.

Shen Zheng felt that the whole thing was a bit weird. How could a slave have such great ability to avoid the guards of Prince Jin's palace and burn down the delivery room all by himself.

Even if Princess Jin encounters difficulty in giving birth, there will always be guards guarding the hospital.

However, all the stewards and guards in the delivery room were either burned to death or killed on the spot by King Jin for negligence. Even he himself burned his arm by rushing into the fire. The impact of the incident was too bad.

The Liu family deliberately suppressed the matter and did not want to make the matter a big deal.

The emperor felt that everyone who deserved to be executed was dead, so there was nothing to investigate.

Neither the emperor nor the Liu family wanted to investigate, and that was the biggest problem.

Seeing his father's gloomy expression, Shen Chengxiao whispered to Shen Lian: "Sister, don't worry about this. Just stay in your boudoir, listen to your mother, learn the rules, and prepare for marriage with peace of mind."

After hearing about Princess Jin's death, Shen Lian was in a good mood these past two days: "I'm just sorry that such a talented woman died like this."

She sighed and said obediently: "Brother, daddy, don't worry, I will listen to mother."

"Yes." Shen Zheng nodded and went back to the study with his eldest son to discuss matters.

Shen Lian looked at the departing figures of Shen Zhengyi and Shen Chengxiao, and softly uttered three words: "It's a good death."

Jing Miaoyi's face changed, and she quickly covered Shen Lian's mouth: "Don't talk nonsense, no matter what you say, it will be Princess Jin who will die."

Shen Lian pulled Jing Miaoyi's hand away with a look of dissatisfaction on her face: "I didn't go out and talk nonsense. I just said it in front of my mother and at home. Don't you think this is retribution? Who asked her to do this on the Queen Mother's birthday?" Ziweiting helped Shen Wan maliciously slander my reputation, now it’s fine, retribution comes so quickly, she’s dead, and no one can verify Ziweiting’s secret, right?”

"You..." Jing Miaoyi's mouth froze, and she was speechless by Shen Lian's vengeful temperament: "Don't bother with this matter. Giving birth to a child is going to go through hell, she is just unlucky. good."

"Yeah, bad luck." It was also said that King Jin only loved Princess Jin, but that was all false. Gu Mingzhu was just an idiot. It was a pity that she couldn't bear it.

Thinking of this, Shen Lian felt much better.

She left in advance, and when Jing Miaoyi looked up to look for Shen Lian, Shen Lian had already walked into another courtyard.

After Shen Zhengyi and his son returned to the study, they talked about the murder of Princess Jin.

Shen Zhengyi said: "The spies said that on the day the Jin Prince's Mansion was embroiled, a carriage passed by the back door of the Jin Prince's Mansion. Who was sitting in that carriage? While the spies were following the carriage, they were fettered by a group of people and lost track of them. "

It's not that Shen Chengxiao hasn't inquired about King Jin's remarks to the outside world, he himself is wary of King Jin.

Shen Chengxiao said: "That means there is a problem. There is a problem in the Jin Palace. Princess Jin's death is by no means simple. However, we should not make enemies of the Jin Palace for the time being. When my sister marries into the East Palace and becomes the crown princess, we will deal with Duke Zhen Guo. Government affairs, and then free up your hands to deal with this matter."

Outside the study, Steward Lu's voice suddenly came: "Second Miss, why are you standing outside the study? Madam is looking for you."

Shen Zhengyi and Shen Chengxiao were both stunned for a moment.

Shen Zheng immediately stood up and opened the door, and saw Shen Lian standing outside.

He frowned and asked, "Lian'er, why are you standing outside the door?"

Shen Lian looked as usual and said, "My daughter heard that His Highness the Crown Prince was bitten by a dog a few days ago. She was very worried about His Royal Highness's injury, so she came over to ask. My daughter just walked to the study and was about to knock on her father's door. Manager Lu Just come over”

When Shen Zheng heard such remarks, he didn't think too much about it. In addition, Shen Lian was a person who couldn't hide things on his face. If she really heard something, she would have asked about it long ago.

"The prince's injury is recovering well. The emperor is very concerned about the prince's injury and specially asked Doctor Qin to come to the East Palace every day to apply medicine to the prince so that he will not leave any scars."

"Then my daughter can rest assured." Shen Lianfu got up and walked out of the study.

The conversation between Shen Zhengyi and Shen Chengxiao just occurred in his mind.

Who is the carriage leaving from the back door of Prince Jin's Mansion?

Could it be the one named Liu Shunu?

The adoptive father said that everyone in the Gu family knew about Liu Shunu's existence, so how could the Gu family tolerate King Jin keeping that woman.

This bunch of useless aristocratic families.

Thinking of this, Shen Lian quietly took out the jade pendant given to her by King Jin from her clothes.

She wanted to find an opportunity to test King Jin. What did he mean by giving her the jade pendant? Does he also want her to give him a child?

Shen Lian's face turned red unconsciously, and she clenched the jade pendant subconsciously.

If King Jin wants a child, she can...

And Shen Zhengyi stood outside the study, watching Shen Lian leave, his eyes darkened, and said to Manager Lu: "There is no one in this yard? No one informed the second lady in advance when she approached the study."

Shen Lian is simple-minded and short-sighted. If others give her a little benefit, she can spit out everything in her mouth.

If someone wants to take advantage of her, there are many official and confidential files in his study. If there is one missing, he will be punished. In more serious cases... it can cost the lives of the whole family.

Manager Lu said: "Master, please forgive me. There will never be a next time. I will immediately send more people to guard the study."

"Yes." Shen Zheng returned to the study and closed the door.

Shen Chengxiao glanced at the door: "My sister is outspoken and doesn't know how to hide things. In the future, let the Shen family guards keep an eye on the study door. If dad is not in the study, just lock the study door. After all..."

Shen Chengxiao thought of Shen Wan: "The Shen family today is different from the Shen family in the past. We must guard against outside thieves as well as domestic thieves. Shen Wan has lived in the Shen Mansion for ten years. With her understanding of the Shen family, I am afraid that she has already been in my Shen family. The government has planted a lot of spies."

Shen Zhengyi sighed: "Wan'er, who is so smart and early-witted, has learned to lurk in secret, and works step by step. She is extremely talented and beautiful, but she has separated from my Shen family. The noble daughter I have cultivated with so much pains finally makes me unhappy. And I don’t understand, isn’t my Shen family inferior to her original family?”

He had been thinking about this issue for more than half a month and still couldn't figure it out.

She would rather avenge the so-called family and become the enemy of the Shen family than want the glory and wealth that the Shen family gave her. She is even more stupid than Shen Lian.

Shen Chengxiao secretly smiled bitterly, because the Shen family finally failed her: "She is destined not to be my Shen family, and she cannot be my Shen family's daughter. Leave the affairs of the Jin Palace to me. Dad, have you figured out how to resolve Jiang Lin's case?"

Shen Zheng picked up his black gauze hat, straightened his clothes, and said: "I have thought about it. The people I arranged should be arriving at the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion soon. His Royal Highness the King of Jin should also be here. I will go there now. Just in time, Zhenguo My father-in-law will take a rest today and send the whole family to Dali Temple for reunion."
