"Yes, it was the servants in the mansion who went out to inquire..." Mrs. Du looked at Shen Rongyue's reaction and sensed something unusual.

"Nonsense!" Shen Rongyue said angrily.

"The crime of colluding with bandits does not involve family members at all. The laws of the court are very clear about this." Shen Rongyue said angrily.

She didn't understand at first.

But the words of the two yamen runners just now are still ringing in my ears: "How ridiculous that the Shen family members kept saying that Shen Zhinian's affairs had nothing to do with other members of the Shen family, asking the master to be more careful... Don't they know that the crime of colluding with bandits will not implicate family members?"

Mrs. Du and the old lady were shocked when they heard this.

"You, what did you say?" The old lady's face turned pale and her eyes were full of disbelief.

Mrs. Du also looked at Shen Rongyue in disbelief, thinking that she had heard it wrong.

"I said, my father's collusion with the bandits would not have implicated the women and children of the Shen family. And I, who have already married into the palace, will not be implicated. Why do you have to bring account books and banknotes to the court to plead for mercy?"

Shen Rongyue said it clearly.

But Mrs. Du still couldn't believe it. She kept muttering, "Impossible... Impossible... How is it possible!"

We clearly sent two groups of people out to gather information, and both groups said the same thing...

She had to stay up all night and take people to search the whole house for the account book before she finally found it.

And the banknotes, tens of thousands of taels! If it wasn't for the sake of herself and her children not being implicated, how could she be willing to take them to court?

Now, are you saying that all of this is redundant?

This news was like a big slap in the face of everyone in the Shen family.

The old lady's legs went limp and she collapsed to the ground.

Even Aunt Qing, who had been standing behind the old lady with her head down and silent, raised her head in surprise.

"Mother, which servant did you send out to gather information?" Shen Rongyue asked.

Mrs. Du came to her senses and looked at the servants around her.

"Where is Yang Laoliu's family? Where did Yang Laoliu's family go? Weren't they here just now?"

The old lady also turned around and called Yu'er: "Yu'er, come out and explain it to me!"

She was worried before and insisted that Yu'er, who served her, go with Wang Si. When they came back, they said the same thing as what happened at Yang Laoliu's house.

"Yu'er!" The old lady called several times but Yu'er didn't come out.

"Madam, when the eldest lady came in just now, I saw Yang Laoliu's He Yu'er quietly go out..." said a servant.

The old lady then realized that when she fell to the ground, Yu'er didn't come forward to help her...

Mrs. Du was furious when she heard this: "Well, they are guilty and want to escape. They are really rebellious!"

After saying that, he immediately ordered two servants to block the front gate.

"Send two more people to lock the door to the garden as well. Let's see how they can get out today!"

Several servants agreed and ran away, but soon, those who went to the front yard ran back.

"Madam, it's bad! The front gate is wide open. Someone just saw Wang Si, the gatekeeper, running out with Yang Laoliu's family and Yu'er!"

"What?" Mrs. Du's chest rose and fell violently. She gritted her teeth and said, "Hurry up and chase them. If you can catch a few of them, I will reward you handsomely!"

Hearing that there would be a huge reward for recovering the treasure, the servants who had been standing by turned around immediately.

"Madam, let's go after them too!"

Several servants ran very fast.

But about quarter of an hour later, they all came back dejectedly.

"Madam, they have already run away..."

"Run away? Go find him again!" Du ordered again with bloodshot eyes.

"We can't find it, madam. We will look for it if we can..." Several servants spread their hands in helplessness.

In fact, they didn't find anyone when they chased out, so where could they look for him?

"Damn it, damn it!" The old lady was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood.

The original three betrayed her.

After so much trouble to train Yu'er, he betrayed her again!

"Grandmother, mother, the three of them have obviously been bribed." Shen Rongyue said.

Mrs. Du and the old lady both bit their lips and said nothing.

They naturally understood it now, but it was too late...

Tens of thousands of taels of silver have been sent to Jingzhao Prefecture for nothing...

"What a vicious plan. It caused my father to plead guilty to murder out of disappointment!" Shen Rongyue said again.

Mrs. Du and the old lady looked at Shen Rongyue in confusion again.

Shen Rongyue then told the whole story of the conversation between the two yamen runners that he had heard on the road.

After hearing this, Mrs. Du staggered back a few steps and almost fell down.

The old lady rolled her eyes and fainted.

Oh my God, the one who killed my son was not someone else, but someone from the Shen family! It was her!

It's ridiculous that she still thinks she is putting the overall situation first and sells her son to save the Shen family!

"Hurry, hurry and save grandma!" Shen Rongyue shouted, rushed to the old lady and helped her up, very anxious.

Even Mrs. Du was stunned by his filial and worried look.

Shen Rongyue didn't want to react so strongly.

From childhood to adulthood, the old lady never liked her very much, so naturally she didn't have any deep feelings for the old lady.

But who asked Princess Kang to let a nanny follow her?

If I were to remain indifferent when my grandmother fainted, and Princess Kang heard about it, I would definitely be considered unfilial...

Shen Rongyue and Du Shi, who reacted later and ran forward, pinched their Ren Zhong points in a panic and called out anxiously for a long time.

"Grandma, grandma, wake up!"

"Mother-in-law, wake up!"

The old lady finally woke up slowly.

"Zhi Nian, my son, it's all mother's fault that you've been harmed... I'm so heartbroken!" As soon as the old lady opened her eyes, she was filled with grief and cried incessantly.

She cried and cried, then suddenly stopped, with a fierce look in her eyes: "Shen Qingyin, you evil girl, you have such a cruel heart! I will kill you!"

She finally understood that all this could only have been done by Shen Qingyin.

I can't think of anyone else except Shen Qingyin.

Shen Rongyue frowned and found himself in a very difficult situation.

She sincerely hoped that Shen Qingyin would die.

But she did not forget that the prince had clearly said that only if he married Shen Qingyin could he become emperor.

Of course, she also hopes that the prince will become the emperor...

Although she couldn't make up her mind for a moment, Shen Rongyue didn't hesitate: "Hurry up, grandma is too tired and is talking nonsense."

Two old ladies came over to help carry the old lady back to the house. Shen Rongyue and Mrs. Du whispered a few words to each other, then left the Shen family and returned to the palace.

The residence of Princess Anhe.

Qin Jinshu was leaning against the eldest princess, hugging her arm and acting coquettishly: "Aunt, it turns out that you love Shu'er the most. Shu'er will definitely be filial to you in the future."
