Reborn to marry a playboy, the scumbag kneels down and calls me aunt

Su Xuqing took a look at the envelope, on which was written a line of ugly large characters.

A letter from the Crown Prince’s Consort herself.

Su Xuqing tore open the envelope, unfolded the letter, and couldn't help laughing.

"My husband really prepared for a rainy day. He even asked Pavilion Master Liang to send someone to protect me along the way..."

With the secret protection of the masters of Tianxing Pavilion, there is no need to worry about safety. After getting up, Su Xuqing personally watched the craftsmen repairing the tomb of Yinhuan's mother.

She couldn't wait to return to the capital to see her husband. Even though they had only not seen each other for a day or two, she missed him terribly.

A short absence is better than a new marriage, this is not just a saying.

Two days later, Ministry of Justice.

A white dove flapped its wings and flew in from outside. Shen Xuanheng stretched out his arm and the dove landed on it obediently. He reached out and took out the letter. After confirming that Su Xuqing was not in danger and was ready to return to the capital, he felt relieved.

Shen Xuanheng burned the letter, looked at the file in front of him with a gloomy gaze, and tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

Two days ago, in the Caishikou teahouse, he had confirmed that the poisoning case in the capital was secretly the work of the Third Prince. After Ruan Yu escaped, she was surrounded by the Ministry of Justice. Shen Xuanheng wanted to get testimony from her that could prove the Third Prince's guilt, but he underestimated how vicious the Third Prince was.

In broad daylight, the third prince actually sent his assassins to shoot Ruan Yu to death in the street, and then committed suicide with his sword. There is no evidence to prove this.

Later, Hu Sanwan changed his confession and Ruan Yu died, and the poisoning case in the capital finally came to an end.

"Sir, Widow Zhao requests to see you."

Outside the study, the bailiff reported.

Shen Xuanheng filed the file and said in a deep voice, "Let her in."

Widow Zhao knelt on the ground as soon as she entered the study. "Sir, the poisoning case has been solved, why haven't you released Hu Sanwan from prison yet?"

Shen Xuanheng glanced at her, then slowly said: "You really love him."

Widow Zhao was not a teenage girl after all. She was not shy when her thoughts were exposed. She looked resentful and said, "Since you know, please let my man go."

"That won't work."

Shen Xuanheng shook his head and said, "Although Hu Sanwan was controlled by someone and had little to do with the poisoning case, it is an indisputable fact that he killed Xu You."

Widow Zhao was immediately anxious when she heard this, "But Xu Youxian did it to save his own life..."

"I know all of this, but murder cases are not judged according to reason, but according to the law."

After these words were spoken, Widow Zhao's expression turned pale.

Seeing this, Shen Xuanheng smiled faintly and said, "But you don't have to worry. In Daliang, the court has always advocated that if the people don't sue, the officials won't investigate. As long as Xu Mo doesn't pursue this matter, Hu Sanwan can be released from prison."

Widow Zhao's mood was up and down, but she felt a glimmer of hope.

"I'll go find him now!"

"That's not necessary."

Shen Xuanheng pointed outside the door and said, "He's here."

Xu Mo bowed as he entered the room, then said in a gentle tone: "I have heard what you just said, sir. I came here today because of my brother's matter."

Widow Zhao suddenly became nervous, worried that Xu Mo would bring up old issues.

Xu Mo sighed softly and said slowly: "My brother died. As an elder brother, I wanted to seek justice for him, but the root cause of this matter is that he did not cultivate morals and committed evil, so he brought about the disaster of death. Moreover, this poisoning case was used as an opportunity to frame Hu Sanwan. I really don't have the face to ask the government to investigate him, so I hope you will pretend that you don't know about this case and let him go."

Shen Xuanheng smiled gently and said slowly: "You really are sensible."

Widow Zhao cried with joy and kowtowed repeatedly on the ground.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, Mr. Xu."

"Okay, get up."

Shen Xuanheng raised his hand, and then a yamen runner came quickly from outside and asked him to take Widow Zhao to the cell to pick someone up.

In the study, Xu Mo bowed and took his leave.

"Xu Mo."

Shen Xuanheng spoke to stop Xu Mo, and Xu Mo slowly turned around.

"Is there anything else, sir?"

"How is your shop?"

In the poisoning case in the capital, apart from those innocent people, the biggest victim was none other than Xu Mo. He was first wrongly accused and then denounced by the people. Although he has been cleared of the charges now, it is likely that his family's century-old dim sum shop will find it difficult to operate normally as before.

Xu Mo sighed and said slowly: "Although the poisoning case has been settled, the people are unwilling to go to my shop anymore, and many of the old shop owners have left. It is useless to keep it open, so I just closed it."

"So where do you plan to go from here?"

"I don't know." Xu Mo shook his head. "Originally, my family was quite wealthy, but in order to treat my wife's illness, almost all of our wealth has been spent over the years. Now the shop is gone, and I really don't know what to do in the future."

Shen Xuanheng rubbed his chin, his eyes moving slightly.

"Speaking of which, my wife and Miss Sun from the Taifu Mansion are planning to run a chamber of commerce, but neither of them has any business experience. I wonder if you would be willing to join the chamber of commerce and work for them?"

Xu Mo was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he quickly said, "The Crown Prince's Consort has been very kind to my husband and me. Since she has confirmed it, Xu Mo is willing to serve her."

Shen Xuanheng nodded slightly, then wrote a handwritten letter and handed it to Xu Mo.

"Take this letter to Miss Sun at the Taifu Mansion and give it to her. After she reads it, she will definitely treat you with courtesy."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Meanwhile, the Royal Palace.

"What did you say? The Sudanese are missing?"

The Third Prince had been upset for several days because his plan had failed. When he heard the news from his confidant, his face turned even darker.

The fight for succession is also a fight for people's hearts and power.

In this undercurrent struggle, whoever has more cards in his hand has a greater chance of winning, so the Third Prince had long been eyeing the military power of the patrol battalion in the hands of Marquis Xie.

Although the patrol battalion had only 10,000 men, which was not enough to compete with the imperial guards in the capital, and the Third Prince did not have the courage to commit treason, having a knife in hand and not having a knife in hand were two different things.

For this reason, he anxiously came up with an idea to get Sultan into the patrol camp, so that when Lord Xie retired one day, Sultan could take charge of the patrol camp in his place.

Originally, the plan was going well. The Sultan had become the commander of the patrol camp, and Lord Xie usually handed things over to him to take care of. It seemed that in a few years, the Third Prince's ambition would be realized.

But at this time, the Sultan was missing!

"It's absolutely true. He hasn't shown up at the Patrol Camp for a few days. Lord Xie has promoted someone else to be the commander and expelled the Sultan from the Patrol Camp for deserting his post."

The third prince clenched his fists so hard that they made a creaking sound.

"Have you found out what this piece of trash has been doing?"
