Reborn to be a mistress, she went crazy killing the legitimate daughter

After getting married, Bai Zhi returned to her parents' home and also moved into the Marquis' Mansion.

When she saw Shen Yiran, she immediately knelt down, but was helped up by Shen Yiran himself: "You are no longer my maid, so there is no need for these empty formalities."

Cao Yuqin also pulled Bai Zhi and looked at her with a smile: "Look, she is indeed someone trained by my sister, like a water plantain, and now she is even more beautiful."

Bai Zhi blushed and lowered her head, saying, "Princess, please stop making fun of me."

Cao Yuqin pulled her inside and said with a smile, "Now I have to call you Madam Jiang. Your husband is now a celebrity in Kyoto. Even the prince is jealous and wants a painting of his. I have to curry favor with you!"

Bai Zhi was terrified and quickly said with a smile: "If the princess says this again, I won't dare to speak."

Shen Yiran protected Bai Zhi and said, "Okay, what Sister Qin said is right. From now on, you are no longer a maid. Be a good lady."

Cao Yuqin followed him into the room and sat down, chatting and laughing for a while.

Shen Yiran said casually: "The Marquis was originally waiting for you to come back, but His Majesty suddenly called him into the palace urgently. See you next time!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Yuqin immediately said, "Has the Marquis also entered the palace? My husband has also been urgently summoned to the palace!"

Shen Yiran had heard from the messenger that Prince Xing had also been brought into the palace, so he said this specifically.

After hearing what Cao Yuqin said, she asked in surprise, "Your Highness doesn't come to the palace often, right? Why did the two of them come to the palace together this time?"

Cao Yuqin shook her head, not really caring: "We'll know when they come back. Sister, look at this newly customized bracelet I made."

Seeing that she was completely unaware, Shen Yiran didn't mention it and lowered his head to look at the gold filigree bracelet on her hand.

At lunch time, Bo Jinnian and Prince Xing returned home together. The maid at the door informed them and Shen Yiran immediately ordered them to be received.

Bai Zhi knew that Prince Xing was present and it would be inappropriate for him to show up now, so he found an excuse to leave.

Shen Yiran did not force Cao Yuqin to stay and led her to the hall to greet them.

Bo Jinnian and Prince Xing looked worried, as if they had encountered some very difficult problems. Prince Xing even walked around with his chin in his hand and his head down.

Shen Yiran waited until the table was set and the waiters were dismissed, and advised: "Eat first, then talk."

Cao Yuqin pulled Prince Xing's sleeve and said, "Don't worry, we'll work together to find a solution later."

But King Xing really couldn't eat anything. He picked up the wine glass and drank three cups in a row, then sighed and put the glass on the table.

"I'd better go back and tell my father first."

Prince Xing stood up, but Bo Jinnian held his shoulders and persuaded him, "It's no use for you to go and tell him. It will only make the old prince come back to confess his sins. Sit down first and talk after you're full."

Shen Yiran then persuaded, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I think the old prince is now living in seclusion in the mountains to practice cultivation. He can handle any storm. Don't panic."

Cao Yuqin persuaded him again, and Prince Xing had no choice but to eat a few bites of food.

Shen Yiran didn't force it, he put down his chopsticks and asked, "Did something serious really happen?"

Bo Jinnian looked at Prince Xing, who sighed and said, "I heard that the throne of the Eclipse Kingdom changed, and when they used the national treasure, they found that it was not only fake, but also had a trap. Sigh!"

Prince Xing had not experienced any major events since he inherited the title at a young age. When he encountered this incident, he was upset and had no idea what to do.

Bo Jinnian helped him continue, "Your Majesty said that a poison needle shot out from the national treasure and killed one of their generals. The Lunar Eclipse Kingdom sent a letter to demand an explanation and ordered me to invite the old prince to come out for questioning."

After hearing this, Shen Yiran touched the porcelain cup with his fingers and thought for a while.

"What is your Majesty thinking?"

Bo Jinnian looked at Shen Yiran staring at his face and shook his head slowly: "His Majesty threw the letter of credence and ordered a detailed investigation. I think His Majesty is very angry."

Cao Yuqin heard this and immediately grabbed Shen Yiran's wrist: "Sister, what should we do? Could it really be the old prince?"

Shen Yiran patted Cao Yuqin's elbow soothingly: "Your Majesty's attitude is very important. Yueshi Nation is a small country, and it dared to send a letter to denounce it. Your Majesty is already unhappy in his heart. What you expect is not necessarily the truth."

This sentence reminded Prince Xing, and he immediately stared at Shen Yiran: "You mean, Your Majesty hopes that the crime of this matter is not on our dynasty?"

Shen Yiran nodded affirmatively, his expression very calm, which made Prince Xing and Cao Yuqin calm down a lot.

Bo Jinnian nodded and said, "Prince Xing, rest assured. I have already ordered people to go ahead and protect the old prince. Let's eat some more and rush over together."

It is not difficult to investigate the place where the old prince lives in seclusion. Bo Jinnian's arrangement is correct. After all, the spies of the Yueshi Kingdom dared to sneak into the palace and kill people for the national treasure. It is very likely that they are targeting the old prince now.

Prince Xing nodded, patted Bo Jinnian's shoulder gratefully, picked up the bowl and started eating.

Shen Yiran said to Cao Yuqin: "Let's go too."

They ate a quick meal and headed for the mountains in two carriages.

The old prince and his wife had already met Bo Jinnian's men and were sitting in the room waiting.

As soon as Prince Xing arrived and took a look, he immediately stepped forward to pay his respects. When the old Prince Xing saw Bo Jinnian and Shen Yiran following behind him, he and his wife stood up to greet them.

The old man had a calm expression and said calmly, "The Marquis and his wife came in person. I am sorry for not being able to receive them. Please bear with me."

Shen Yiran smiled and saluted, then sat down on the wooden bench with Bo Jinnian, and turned his gaze to the wife married by King Laoxing.

The old lady was about 30 years old, and had a very gentle attitude. Even without smiling, she made people feel close to her. It was said that she used to be the lady's maid, and after she followed her into the mountains, she was promoted to be the wife.

She sat down and greeted Shen Yiran and Cao Yuqin, even though they were in the mountains: "Have you eaten?"

Cao Yuqin nodded and looked towards Prince Xing. They had already stood up and went to talk in the room.

"Mom, pack your things quickly. Shall we go back together later?"

The old lady smiled slightly when she heard this and said, "We still have to wait for your father to make a decision."

Seeing that she didn't care about anything, Shen Yiran advised Cao Yuqin not to worry: "There are all kinds of things in the palace, so there is no need to pack anything specially. Let's wait a while."

Upon hearing this, the old lady stood up and led them around the hut.

The entire cabin was protected by Bo Jinnian's men.

Cao Yuqin felt uncomfortable watching this, and couldn't help but pull Shen Yiran's sleeve and said, "Is it really that exaggerated?"

Shen Yiran nodded solemnly: "Think about what these spies from the Eclipse Nation did back then? Now they are even more unwilling to let them go easily. I think these guards are not enough."

The old lady looked very calm when she heard this. She was not very panicked. She pursed her lips and said, "Then go inside. I'll make some tea."

Leading back to the hall, the old lady skillfully boiled water and brewed tea, hitting the tea cakes with a delicate hammer. She seemed very professional, but the order was a bit reversed.

The tea had been boiling for a long time before she put the tea leaves into the teapot.

Shen Yiran paid attention to the side of her face and behind her ear. People say that it is always easy to find clues of disguise behind the ears.
