Zhumen Chunshen

Chapter 425 The Truth
Master Zhang's eyes lit up, he couldn't help nodding his head and said happily: "That's a good statement! How could I have forgotten him!"

Mr. Zhang just felt suddenly enlightened, what did he have to do with others after co-authoring this matter and making a big detour?It is simply the Zhenxi Palace's own business!
If the Zhenxi Prince's Mansion refuses to settle down and make peace with others, the Second Master Shen, who is Yi of the Shuntian Mansion, will definitely not be able to get away with the case even if he has not handled the case!He doesn't want to be implicated, so let Princess Zhenxi make big things into small things. No matter what, Princess Zhenxi is also his junior. Seniority is much easier than criminal law!

The Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Dali Temple began to handle the case in a hurry. Mr. Zhang went out in person, and went out early and late every day to search for clues. Rong Ma and the others were also questioned and recorded their statements.Master Zhang sympathized with the Zhenxi Palace, and never ordered anyone to take them to the yamen, but came to visit with Master Xing in person, and asked questions in the Zhenxi Palace, and met Yao Cunhui by the way, and asked some questions, comforting and shocking, deep He expressed his sympathy and expressed that he would find out the real culprit and return justice to the princess.

Yao Cunhui was naturally grateful, but he didn't believe a word in his heart.Even she guessed that this matter had something to do with the Lu family, and she didn't believe that Mr. Zhang, who was the secretary of the Ministry of punishment, would not think of it.Ask him to check Lu's house?It's so unrealistic!

Yao Cunhui perfunctory calmly, and let's see how Master Zhang will settle the matter.Even though he had decided in his heart that the Lu family would not be involved, Yao Cunhui still felt very unwilling.

In just three days, with the efforts of Mr. Zhang and Mr. Lu, the case "come to light". The real culprit who was arrested confessed and insisted that he was only seeking money.And to capture these real culprits, the Second Master Shen of Shuntian Mansion also sent people to help. Master Zhang and Master Lu also brought a sum of money to Master Shen in the closing memorial to ask for credit for him.

Whether it is public or private, it is reasonable for Second Master Shen to intervene in this matter, but he successfully involved the Shen family.

The queen mother nodded frequently, and only asked what is the attitude of Zhenxi Palace?

The two adults naturally picked up pleasant words, saying that Mrs. Xiao and the princess were grateful for the kindness of the Queen Mother, and demanded that the real culprit be severely punished!

The Empress Dowager was even more satisfied when she heard that the Shen family had no objections, she ordered the first offender, Ling Chi, and all the accomplices to be beheaded regardless of their seriousness, as a warning to everyone else!

The two adults took the decree and took a deep breath.

The queen mother felt a little bit sorry, and she pityed Princess Zhenxi and Miss Yun for being frightened, so she gave a generous reward to comfort her.So far, the case has officially come to an end, and Yao Cunhui can no longer say a word.

After this incident, the gazes and thoughts of the people in the court began to move around again, and they felt that the Empress Dowager's thoughts were still directed towards the Lu family.The Lu family was naturally happy, and Lu Xiangye was also secretly proud for a while, regaining his energy and confidence; the Zhou royal family tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep, but felt that the night was long, when will the dawn come? ?

On this day, Qian Shan sent a note to Yao Cunhui through his second daughter-in-law.Qian Shan was a trustworthy person, so Yao Cunhui naturally had to disassemble the things he handed over to him.

After reading it, Yao Cunhui pinched the paper, his face uncertain, and he remained silent for a while.

"Mother Rong, go to the second gate yourself, look for Qianshan, and tell him not to go out these days, and just wait in the tea hall outside the second gate to obey orders at any time! Go!" Yao Cunhui said with a smile.

Yao Cunhui had never given such an ambiguous order, Rong Ma couldn't help but cast a strange glance at her, and agreed to go.

The letter in his hand was entrusted to Qian Shan to seal and hand it over. It is very likely that Qian Shan did not know what was said in the letter.And it's really inconvenient for one person to tell about this matter!

Who is it that discovered such a secret?Why don't you want to show your true colors while helping the Zhenxi Prince's Mansion?
Yao Cunhui's mood was a little heavy, and after sitting for a while, he got up and went to see Yun Xiaodie in the wisteria house.

Yun Xiaodie was still in a coma as usual, Xiang'er and the maids and servants took care of her very attentively and cleanly, but people still couldn't help but feel sad after seeing her pale face.

"Where's Miss San? Are you feeling better these past two days?" After seeing Yun Xiaodie, Yao Cunhui asked casually.

Haitang hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and replied: "Respond to the words of the princess, the servant will obey the words of the princess, and accompany the third lady to the garden from time to time to relax in the past few days. The third lady's complexion is much better, and she can sleep soundly at night!"

"Good girl, take good care of the third lady! I will reward you very much later!" Yao Cunhui nodded with a smile, and suddenly said: "You are the third lady's personal maid, why don't you serve the third lady by her side? The third lady is resting in the room? "

Haitang's expression froze when she heard the words, she subconsciously avoided Yao Cunhui's gaze, and nodded indiscriminately.

Yao Cunhui had no idea at first, but seeing her like this aroused doubts, and said seriously: "Is the third lady resting in the room?"

Haitang hurriedly knelt down, bowed her head and said: "Yes, yes! Miss, Miss is resting!"

Where has Haitang ever done such a thing as deceiving her master?Not to mention Yao Cunhui, even Red Polygonum, Hemerocallis and the others who came with him also saw this panicked and evasive look, and couldn't help but look at each other in blank dismay.

Yao Cunhui frowned and said, "Is there something wrong with the third lady? Get up and answer, what is this look like!"

Where did Haitang dare to get up, but she calmed down a little bit, and nodded repeatedly at Yao Cunhui's words, "Yes, yes, Miss San said she was a little uncomfortable, no, don't disturb anyone, just take a good rest for a while!"

"Don't get up and lead the way! I'll go and have a look! Red Polygonum, Hemerocallis, you two, don't follow, so as not to upset the third lady!" Before Haitang got up, Yao Cunhui went straight to Shen Jialin's boudoir bedroom.

"Princess! Concubine! The third lady said that no one should disturb her, please forgive me and stay away—" Haitang hurriedly got up from the ground to stop Yao Cunhui in time?Yao Cunhui had already bypassed the screen, entered the partition, opened the door and walked in.

"Princess!" Haitang turned pale, glanced at Yao Cunhui, at the Babu bed which was neatly folded with brocade quilts, and fell to the ground with limp feet.

"Stupid thing!" Yao Cunhui gave her a bitter look, "Quickly close the door!"

"Yes, Princess!" Haitang hurriedly closed the door as if waking up from a dream, stepped forward and tugged on Yao Cunhui's skirt, knelt down and cried, "My Princess, save me! Princess, save my servant!"

"Where did your miss go!" Yao Cunhui shouted with a frosty face.

Haitang shivered and said in a trembling voice: "Miss, Miss has gone out of the house, and she said she was going to Houhai to buy candied fruit for Madam—"

"How long has she been there? Why didn't someone tell me?" Yao Cunhui's heart skipped a beat.

"Miss just went out for a long time! Miss said that the princess is too hard, and it's not the first time to go out, so don't bother the princess with some small things..."

"Stupid thing!" Yao Cunhui stomped her feet angrily, "Since you said that your lady is unwell and resting in the room is resting in the room, you remember this! Otherwise, I can't keep you!"

"Yes, yes, this servant knows!" Haitang wiped away her tears indiscriminately.

Yao Cunhui snorted, turned around and hurried out.

"Miss San is really unwell, let's not bother, let's go back!" Yao Cunhui's expression remained unchanged, and he led Polygonum Polygonum, Hemerocallis etc. back to Xihe Hall.

On the way, Yao Cunhui stopped suddenly, called Hong Liao and said indifferently: "I suddenly remembered something to tell you!" As he spoke, he glanced at Hemerocallis and the others.

Hemerocallis and others silently took a few steps back, Yao Cunhui continued to say to Hong Liao: "You immediately go to the second gate to find Qianshan, and ask him to take two proper people to the Houhai area immediately, and look for a candied fruit shop in Ximi Hutong. Let's see if the third lady of our family is there and what she is doing! Call him, tell him to act cheaply! Go quickly!"

Seeing that Yao Cunhui came out of the Wisteria House, Hong Liao gave such weird orders, and he didn't know what was going on, and panicked for no reason, nodded quickly in agreement, and ran away.Yao Cunhui breathed a sigh of relief, and went back to Xihe Hall with Hemerocallis.

On Qianshan's side, Red Polygonum came again after getting Mama Rong's order just now, and he was also confused after hearing these words, even though he was always smart and clever, he was very confused.

"Sister Hong Liao, this, the princess really ordered it so? You have to speak clearly!" Qian Shan stopped Hong Liao from leaving.

Hong Liao spread her hands and smiled wryly: "I have already told you the order of the princess, what do you want me to say clearly? You don't understand, so hurry up and figure it out! The princess told you to go to the third lady, you Hurry up and go, think about going on the way!"

Hong Liao woke up the dreamer with one word, and Qian Shan slapped his forehead, "Yes, yes! My sister is right! Isn't it just looking for someone! Let's talk when we find it!" Saying that, he hurriedly turned around and left.

There was only one store selling candied fruit in Ximi Hutong in Houhai called "Fu Ji", and Qian Shan found it without much trouble.

Sitting at the counter was a well-dressed proprietress who was over [-] years old, and a young female waiter with curly hair, who greeted people with a smile when they came to the door.

Hearing Qian Shan ask if the third lady of the Shen residence had been here, the proprietress was taken aback for a moment, shook her head and smiled and said no.

Qian Shan scratched his head, "Miss Boss, think again? Really?"

"No, no!" The lady proprietress said angrily, "My shop is so big, except for the regular customers, there are very few other people coming to the door! The lady from the Shen family has been here two or three times, but she really didn't come today!"

Qian Shan was startled, and while perfunctory to the proprietress, he wondered if he was on his way too fast and the third lady hadn't arrived yet?So he stood in the shop and refused to leave, even though he was chatting with the proprietress.

Seeing that he was just dawdling here without buying anything, the proprietress became unhappy, and her words showed a bit of disgust, and she wanted to drive her away.Qian Shan wasn't sure whether Shen Jialin had been here or not and was willing to leave, so he dealt with the proprietress with a smile on his face, randomly ordered two or three candied fruit and asked the female assistant to serve it.

But the proprietress stopped her and said: "Our Fuji candied fruit is an authentic and time-honored brand, which is sold to regular customers who like to eat. You are clearly perfunctory, and you have spoiled my things! I won't sell you, hurry up! Don't delay My business!"
