After rebirth, the scumbag prince only wants to pamper his wife every day

Outside the yard.

There was the sound of hurried footsteps.

The servant came to report that Madam Liu's husband, the future head of the Liu family, was now visited by the Imperial Censor.

Shen Guidi glanced at Madam Liu.

The two of them tacitly suppressed the turbulent emotions in their eyes, packed up their things, and then sat down.

He Qingchen signaled to the people outside the yard to invite them in.

Censor Liu came with a file.

After entering the house.

After he bowed to He Qingchen and Shen Guidi, he quickly walked to Madam Liu.

He glanced at Madam Liu’s red eyes.

He was convinced.

He Qingchen spoke first: "Is Imperial Censor Liu here to pick up Madam Liu?"

Censor Liu pursed his lips, took out the file from his sleeve, and held it in front of his eyes with both hands.

Afterwards, he bowed to He Qingchen with a solemn expression, and then turned his gaze to Shen Guidi: "Your Majesty, I am indeed here to take Madam back home, but... I am also here to see Princess Yan. I think Princess Yan will be able to use this thing."

Shen Guidi's eyes narrowed slightly.

He Qingchen took the thing and handed it to her.

She was not in a hurry to see it, but just asked: "What is this? How does Lord Liu know that it is useful to this princess?"

Censor Liu glanced at his wife and daughter, gritted his teeth and said, "In the twelfth year of Zhaoyuan, Xiangnan County suffered a serious flood. The court allocated money for relief and arranged for Princess Kangping's legitimate son, the Prince Jian'an, to go to provide disaster relief.

When the Prince of Jian'an first entered the court, he was good at talking big but had little experience. He was also stubborn and self-righteous. In the name of the Grand Princess, he suppressed his fellow officials and took control of disaster relief, which made the disaster even worse and caused the people to riot.

At this time, the prince was bewitched and became addicted to gambling.

The Crown Prince abused his power for personal gain and diverted a large sum of disaster relief funds, resulting in a huge deficit. When it was discovered, even though the Grand Princess's Mansion tried its best to fill the gap, it was still a drop in the bucket and was unable to save the situation.

The Zhao and Qi clans were not good at business and ended up spending all their resources.

These two families have long intended to win over the Grand Princess and are well aware of what is going on in the Grand Princess's mansion.

Later, a new top scholar took the initiative to curry favor with the Yue family and promised several families that all the assets of the Yue family could be used to fill the vacancies of the three families. Therefore, these families hit it off and after half a month of planning, they took action against the wealthy businessman Shen from Jiangnan.

Later, he deceived his superiors and subordinates, suppressing the matter of the Crown Prince's disaster relief efforts while covering up the truth of that year.

As a result, the Shen family was completely destroyed and no one knew about it anymore.

What is described in the file is the result of my many years of investigation in the capital. I estimate that the princess can use one or two of them."

Censor Liu's words caught Shen Guidi and He Qingchen off guard.

His words were truly shocking.

Shen Guidi didn't know what to do for a moment.

Her eyes swept back and forth between Madam Liu and Censor Liu, and finally glanced at Liu Qinghuan, who had almost no other expression or movement throughout the whole process.

Madam Liu and Liu Qinghuan don't seem to be surprised by this?

Why is this?

Shen Guidi stared at the file in his hand in a daze, hesitated for a moment, and finally opened it.

Just as Censor Liu said.

What was written in the file was exactly what he had investigated over the years.

In fact.

During the year that Shen Guidi has been in Beijing, she has been cooperating with her uncle and his subordinates to investigate what happened that year.

They can be sure that the Lin and Qi families are direct participants in the Shen family's genocide.

It is certain that Madam Qi’s maiden family, the Zhao family, must also be involved.

After she married into Prince Yan's Mansion, she took advantage of He Qingchen's power to suppress the three families of Lin, Qi and Zhao step by step. Firstly, it was naturally for revenge, and secondly, she also wanted to force out the person behind the scenes?

Right now, the three families have not yet reached the end of their rope and have not yet reached the point where they have to ask the person behind the scenes for help.

The plan she had previously explained to Youbai and the others at the farm would also be carried out one by one after her uncle returned.

I thought that after my uncle returned to Beijing.

The three families of Lin, Zhao and Qi will be almost uprooted, and then the real culprit behind the scenes will be easily exposed.

Who would have thought that Censor Liu would come up with something like this?

When did he find out?

Over the years, she and her uncle had never doubted the eldest princess and her husband's family, nor had they ever thought that this matter would involve the royal family.

Who would have known that the eldest princess's son was the culprit in this matter?

how can that be possible?

Shen Guidi instinctively couldn't believe it.

Princess Kangping was the aunt of Emperor Zhaoyuan.

Although she and the late emperor were not siblings from the same mother, they were raised by the same concubine.

The relationship between the two is naturally deeper than that between ordinary royal siblings.

Although Princess Kangping and her family were low-key and did not like to be in the public eye, Emperor Zhaoyuan, remembering the friendship they had in the past, had not forgotten them and was always thinking about giving them respect.

The eldest princess had several daughters but only one son.

That is the Prince of Jian'an.

Prince Jian'an was of noble birth.

My grandfather was the Minister of Chancellery, my grandmother was the legitimate daughter of Anguo Mansion, my father was the Minister of Rites, my mother was the eldest princess, the emperor was my uncle, and the empress dowager was my mother's adoptive mother, so she was my grandmother...

He truly grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth.

Normally, a person like him should live a flamboyant and unrestrained life, but he has been abnormally low-key in recent years.

Not only that.

There are rumors outside that Prince Jian'an was kidnapped by bandits for several days a few years ago.

After he was rescued, it was discovered that he had already turned into a monster with not only missing hands, broken legs, a disfigured face, but even an injured throat.

Shortly after.

The prince consort brought back a bastard from outside.

The illegitimate son was brought up under the name of the Grand Princess, and is now in charge of all affairs in the Grand Princess's mansion.

Although the title of Prince Jian'an was not taken away, he also lost the opportunity to inherit the title.

Before and after Shen Guidi came to Beijing, he investigated this Prince of Jian'an who never went out, but everything related to him was almost wiped out, making it very difficult to investigate. There were only fragmentary words from the people, which could not explain anything.

Therefore, she never connected the Grand Princess's Mansion, the Prince of Jian'an, and the genocide of the Shen family that year.

What's more.

From the looks of it, the Grand Princess's Mansion had no dealings with the Lin, Qi, and Zhao families.

There were no marriages between their children, no business partners, no involvement in each other's various banquets, and basically no contact between them in the court or in the princess's mansion.

Who would have thought that this would turn out to be such a big thing?

Is what Censor Liu investigated true?

Why is he checking this?

Are you checking for Madam Liu?

Shen Guidi shook his head instinctively.

No.

It can’t be for Madam Liu.

Investigating the Shen family is not something that can be done in a short time.

It takes years of preparation and careful planning.

Shen Guidi felt that it was even more impossible since the opponent was the Grand Princess.

Although Censor Liu is the son of the Liu family.

But he was born a bastard. Before he had any prospects, how could he have the ability and manpower to investigate the affairs of the Grand Princess's Mansion, Prince Jian'an, and the three families of Zhao, Lin, and Qi?

What's the point of checking?

You must know that if this matter is as he said, it must involve a wide range of people. The three families of Zhao, Lin, and Qi are only one of them, and the Grand Princess's Mansion and the Prince Consort's family are the other. There must be many people involved in the process.

If he investigates this matter carefully, isn't he afraid of implicating the Liu family?

What's more.

What good would it do him to find out this?

It couldn't be that he loved Madam Liu so much that he couldn't bear to see her sad, so he decided to gamble the lives of his entire family and investigate the matter with all his might just to give Madam Liu peace of mind, right?

Outsiders don’t know, but Madam Liu is married for the second time, so she must be able to hide it from Censor Liu.

Even if she married, she would marry into a wealthy family.

How much does Censor Liu love someone to be willing to give so much for someone who, in some sense, is not a match for him?

Shen Guidi thought about this silently.

He became even more unconvinced about the things that Censor Liu took out.

But why would Censor Liu make up such a story to deceive her and Prince Yan?

This is also something that doesn’t make sense.

He Qingchen glanced at the file in Shen Guidi's hand and showed the same doubt in his eyes.

He hesitated for a moment, reached out and took the file from Shen Guidi's hand, and read it carefully.

There is not much written above.

It only gave a rough list of the time when those things happened, the corresponding events, the relationships between the characters, and their whereabouts, but did not directly point out that the affairs of the Shen family were dominated by the Grand Princess's Mansion.

In addition, the situation of the Prince Jian'an is also mentioned.

Not much content.

But the combination of the past and the present is indeed easy to arouse people's imagination.

He Qingchen frowned: "What can this thing about Imperial Censor Liu prove? The higher-ups can't prove that the Grand Princess's Mansion was the one behind those things back then. How can you be sure that they were involved in that matter?"

Censor Liu paused.

He looked past He Qingchen and looked at Shen Guidi: "Your Highness, I am a witness and I have evidence."

When these words were spoken, both He Qingchen and Shen Guidi were shocked.

Is a witness?

Is there any evidence too?

Could it be that he was there at the time?

Did he see it?

Censor Liu seemed to understand what Shen Guidi was thinking, and he nodded at Shen Guidi.

Madam Liu stood up, slowly walked to Censor Liu, held his hand, and told him about some of the things that happened in the past.

Censor Liu is the only illegitimate child of Secretary Liu.

Censor Liu's stepmother was relatively kind to him, but Secretary Liu had no feelings for him at all, and could even be considered cold and indifferent.

During those years, he grew up like a weed.

Later, he obtained the consent of his stepmother and went out to study.

As a result, he got acquainted with Shen Yanchuan, the third son of the Shen family. The two of them used to call each other brothers and traveled together through the mountains and rivers.

Later, he returned to Beijing to celebrate his grandmother's birthday.

The two had only been separated for a few months when Shen Yanchuan wrote him a letter, saying that he had gotten married and would hold a wedding banquet at home, and asked him to attend.

He rushed over.

When I rushed to Shen's house, I saw a sea of ​​red. The smell of blood filled the entire sky. I could hear the sound of horse hooves in the distance, and it was the murderer's back walking away.

He stood stupidly outside the ruins.

There was still a faint sound of breathing in the sea of ​​fire. He rushed over and carried out Shen Yanchuan, who was still alive.

He carried the man on his back and hid in the woods to avoid being discovered by the other party who came back.

At that time.

He just learned from Shen Yanchuan that the killer should be a secret guard sent by some powerful person.

On their arms, there is a strange circle tattoo.

Inside the circle, there seems to be a house, and under the house, there is a bent and deformed worm shape.

The man, holding on to his last bit of strength, lay on the ground and drew the pattern. After making sure that the man had seen it clearly, he told him to send him back to the fire scene before the other party returned to check the body.

Afterwards, he went to Shen Yanchuan's villa.

He found information about Madam Liu from there, tracked down her family, and took her, who had recently lost her husband, under his wing.

Also.

The man claimed that the killer was a secret guard, and with the diagram as evidence, he began to investigate quietly.

There are not many people in Beizhao who can use secret guards.

It just so happened that Prince Jian'an also encountered trouble during that period, and there were obviously some unusual undercurrents surging in the capital.

He secretly paid attention.

Shortly after.

From the former cronies of Prince Jian'an, they learned that Prince Jian'an had made a pattern himself to distinguish the secret guards of the Grand Princess's mansion from those of other people, and he had publicized it to them and boasted about it.

From then on, he finally got to the bottom of the truth.

He remembered that pattern for his entire life.

Censor Liu seemed to be determined: "Your Majesty, Princess, you don't have to doubt it. I have been investigating since this happened. I also drew the pattern that Yan Chuan drew back then. It is on the last page of the file.

Your Majesty, please take a look.

I guess you are familiar with this pattern.

As for the rest, now that the princess has returned, she must have made preparations and must have a way to investigate and verify the truth of the content. If the prince or princess needs it, you can send a message to Yu Huan'er, and she will explain it to me and my wife."

He Qingchen listened to his words and quickly opened the file again.

The last appendix was made very secretive, and because of their carelessness just now, neither of them noticed that there was a so-called appendix or a so-called pattern.

Seeing this, the two were shocked.

Shen Guidi had never seen that pattern, but He Qingchen had.

However, in recent years, it was before he went to the southern border.

In recent years, perhaps Prince Jian'an had some other thoughts, and he ordered people to suppress all news about this pattern.

But he had indeed seen it.

He Qingchen's mind turned slightly. He closed the file and looked at Shen Guidi.

Shen Guidi knew that he wanted to discuss something with her later.

She nodded almost imperceptibly.

As for what Censor Liu mentioned, that his daughter could act as a mouthpiece, He Qingchen and the others did not comment.

However, they were still curious as to why Censor Liu was willing to put the entire Liu family at risk.

He even dragged out his daughter, who rarely showed herself to others, and used her as a tool to pass messages, and the other party didn't seem surprised?

Think about it for a moment.

He Qingchen said, "I understand. Since Lord Liu mentioned those past events today, I am willing to believe you. However, this matter is of great importance, so I still need to verify it carefully with the princess."

Censor Liu had already anticipated this situation.

He cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I will take my leave now."

After saying that, he planned to leave with his wife and children.

Madam Liu was being led by him, but she couldn't move forward.

Liu Yushi had no choice but to persuade her: "Madam, the princess needs some time to think these things through. Let's go back first. The princess is in the capital. If you want to see her, you can still see her another day."

Shen Guiyi glanced at her and said, "Yes, Madam, please go back first. The situation in the capital is very treacherous and turbulent right now. Madam, it is not appropriate for you to stay here for long. You should go back early."
