In the evening, He's father did not break his promise and came to Chen Lerong's yard to have dinner with her.

......

He Shuzhen fought back and forth with the concubines in the mansion, and finally pulled Liu Chen into her room, and their relationship eased a lot.

That day, Liu Chen came back from outside and said, "The rumors about the prince's concubine are getting more and more intense in the capital. People are talking about it. A good person is gone suddenly. I don't know how sad her parents must be."

He Shuzhen, who was drinking tea, revealed an ambiguous smile on her face when she heard Liu Chen's words. She was worrying about how to confirm whether the news about Li Wanrong was true or false.

You will know when you find Li Wanrong's parents. They chatted with Liu Chen casually for a while.

Find Xiaoyu and ask her to find out the address of Li Wanrong's parents.

Waited two days.

Xiaoyu told He Shuzhen the address she had found out. She asked in confusion, "Madam, why are you asking about Li Wanrong's parents' address?"

He Shuzhen felt that He Shulan's life was too good now, so she wanted to cause some trouble for her: "Of course, we have to confirm whether Li Wanrong died of illness or was killed by He Shulan."

Xiao Yu suddenly realized: "Madam is still more skilled. The prince doted on Aunt Li so much. If he knew that it was Miss who killed her, he would definitely not let Miss go."

He Shuzhen was in a happier mood: "Let's go! What are you still standing here for? Follow me to Li Wanrong's parents' home."

The master and servant took a carriage to Li Wanrong's home, which was a courtyard house. The house was not big, but it was located in the center of the capital.

Xiaoyu helped He Shuzhen get off the carriage and knocked on the door of Li Wanrong's house.

The person who opened the door was Li Wanrong's mother, Yang Hua, a servant in the Prince's Mansion, who told her that Li Wanrong had run away with another man.

In order to save the reputation of the Prince's Mansion and Li Wanrong, the Princess announced to the public that Li Wanrong had died of a serious illness at her mother's home.

Although people in the capital did not know that Li Wanrong had run away with another man, the couple still could not hold their heads up.

They closed all the shops on the street. The couple stayed in the small courtyard all day, looking nervously at He Shuzhen, who was dressed gorgeously in front of them: "Who are you? What's the matter with you here?"

"I'm looking for Li Wanrong's parents."

Yang Hua became even more nervous: "What do you want to do with them?"

He Shuzhen looked at Yang Hua, whose eyes were haggard, and guessed that she was Li Wanrong's mother: "Now it is said in the capital that Li Wanrong died of a serious illness. I think this news is wrong."

"No, the news is true." Yang Hua explained hurriedly. She didn't want the woman in front of her to continue to delve into the matter.

"Don't you find it strange? A good person suddenly disappeared. There must be something fishy." He Shuzhen continued to persuade.

These words made Yang Hua fall into deep thought. He felt that what the woman in front of him said made sense. The servant of the Prince's Mansion told her that the daughter he had raised since childhood had run away with another man.

And then the matter was left unresolved, which was indeed very suspicious. Maybe he was assassinated by the Princess.

Yang Hua raised her head in confusion, not knowing what purpose the woman in front of her had in saying such things to her: "Thank you for your concern about my daughter's affairs, I will handle it myself."

Having said this, the purpose has been achieved, Li Wanrong did not continue: "I will not bother you any more. I have something else to do in the mansion, so I will leave first."

Yang Hua watched Li Wanrong leave, closed the door, and walked into the yard: "Master, I think what that woman said just now makes sense. We can't listen to the one-sided statement of the Prince's Mansion."

When Lord Li learned that his daughter had run away with another man, his hair turned white overnight: "We have no evidence, so we can only believe what the Prince's Mansion says."

The more Yang Hua thought about it, the more uneasy he became: "I must go to the Prince's Mansion to find out what is going on."

"I also want to know whether it is true or false that my daughter ran away with another man, but the people in the Prince's Mansion will not tell us the truth, and we cannot defeat the Prince's Mansion."

Yang Hua slapped Lord Li on the head and said, "Look at your useless look. Although we can't defeat the Prince's Mansion, the people in the Prince's Mansion don't dare to do anything to us. If the people in the Prince's Mansion don't tell us the truth, we will make a fuss and let everyone in the capital know about it. At that time, they will naturally tell the truth."

Lord Li thought this was a good idea: "Then let's go to the Prince's Mansion and ask for clarification."

……

He Shulan's daily life remained the same. Apart from taking care of matters at the mansion, she spent the rest of her time accompanying the old lady.

The old lady was anxious to have a great-grandson. Seeing that He Shulan had been married to the prince for such a long time and there was no sign of pregnancy, she urged him every other day, leaving He Shulan at a loss as to how to respond. She could only decline, "Old lady, the prince and I are still young, and we are not in a hurry to have a child."

After hearing He Shulan's answer, I knew that she was taking the issue of having a baby seriously, and I felt a little relieved.

As the two were talking, Qiu Dong ran in in a panic: "Princess, something terrible has happened. Aunt Li's parents are making a scene in the Prince's Mansion."

He Shulan's heart skipped a beat. She asked her servants to go to Li Wanrong's parents' house and tell them that Li Wanrong had run away with another man and gave them some money.

Why did they come to the Prince's Mansion and make such a scene? She hurried to the gate of the Prince's Mansion. A middle-aged man and woman in silk clothes were standing at the gate, crying and shouting, "The Prince's Mansion really treats human life as worthless. My good daughter was taken into the mansion by the Prince, and she's gone just like that."

The onlookers sighed. It turned out that Li Wanrong did not die of a serious illness. Could it be that she was murdered by the Princess? Everyone was talking about it.

Now it was useless for the Princess to say anything, so she asked her servants to bring Li Wanrong's parents into the mansion.

Li Wanrong's parents kept struggling: "What do you want to do? You killed my daughter, and you want to kill us too?"

The sharp and piercing sound made He Shulan frown.

The servant covered the two men's mouths with a stern look and dragged them into the yard.

He Shulan didn't want to make a big deal out of it: "I've asked my servants to tell you the truth. Li Wanrong ran away with another man."

"Bah! I think you are trying to cover up the crime of killing my daughter and are deliberately talking nonsense here." Li Wanrong's mother Yang Hua stood up angrily and loudly refuted He Shulan.

"This is the truth." He Shulan did not get angry because of Yang Hua's bad attitude and replied calmly.

"If an ordinary citizen, a married woman runs away with another man, she will be thrown into a pig cage if she is caught. Let alone the prince's mansion. Can the prince tolerate being cuckolded?" When he said this, Yang Hua's voice became louder and louder.

Looking at Yang Hua in front of her, He Shulan frowned. This woman was really unreasonable and no explanation was of any use.

"It is your daughter who is not faithful to her husband. The Prince's Mansion has not made any complaint against her, but you still want to embarrass my granddaughter-in-law here." The old lady was worried about He Shulan, so she supported the hand of the maid and walked to the yard. She heard all the conversation between Yang Hua and He Shulan, and she felt sorry for He Shulan.

"Where's the evidence? Words are not enough. Our daughter just disappeared like that. You just say that she ran away with another man and you want to clear yourself of the matter." Yang Hua, who loves his daughter dearly, naturally refused to let go.
