Concubine Agent: My lord, stop pretending

Chapter 179 Investigation, Big Shen Family

Ever since getting in the car, Ye Jing has been hugging Su Yan's arm, the kind of eyes and actions that are indifferent, fearing to lose, fall into the eyes of the other two people in the car, they don't have some consideration in their hearts.

Chu Qingzhou looked at the two opposite people lightly, without moving.I have always known that King Jing cares a lot about Princess Jing and loves her very much, but he never expected such dependence. This dependence seems to be three points more deliberate.

"Why didn't my sister-in-law wait for us to come together? It's too dangerous to come to Yuzhou alone." Ye Huan suddenly said, with a hint of blame, but the concern and worry in his words were undisguised.

"Don't worry, I'm here to help the case. Besides, no one knows my identity, so I won't be in danger." Su Yuyun smiled lightly, very indifferently.

Chu Qingzhou smiled leisurely, and said: "Although what the princess said is not bad, she is of high status after all, and she cannot make jokes. During your absence, His Royal Highness King Jing was very anxious."

Su Yu glanced at Chu Qingzhou, ignored the middle tone of his words, looked at Ye Jing, and said, "I was indeed impulsive this time, and it was my fault to make everyone worry. After returning to Beijing, I will personally enter the palace to give to my father, queen, and queen." Plead guilty."

"Don't be afraid, lady, with your husband here, no one will bully you!" Ye Jing solemnly assured her, her dark and deep eyes were full of determination, as if anyone would bully her, he would do his best.

"Okay." Su Yan smiled softly, in anyone's eyes, it was full of affection.

Chu Qingzhou smiled slightly, closed his eyes, and stopped talking.

Ye Huan also looked away, looking out the window, although there were countless concerns and worries in his heart, but he didn't have enough ground to express it.

Not long after, the carriage stopped, and the people outside said: "Lord Chu, the Shen family has arrived."

"Okay." Chu Qingzhou responded, and jumped out of the carriage first, followed by Ye Huan.

"Let's go down too." Su Yan said to Ye Jing, just after she finished speaking, Ye Jing got out of the carriage one step ahead of her, although her posture was not as smooth as the previous two, but her movements were smooth and very eye-catching.

"Lady." Ye Jing stretched out her hand, smiling to help her up.

Su Yan was stunned, as if he was very surprised by his actions, slightly surprised for a moment, then put his hand on it, and got out of the car with his strength.

"Fourth brother's changes are really getting bigger and bigger!" Ye Huan said something meaningful.

Chu Qingzhou's eyes flashed, his heart moved, and he didn't answer.

Su Yan just smiled, looking at Ye Jing with a hint of doubt.What the hell is this guy up to?This style of behavior is becoming less and less like a silly prince. Is this the rhythm of tearing off the disguise?
After the four of them got off the car, they saw a tall mansion with two big characters "Shen's house" written on it.Judging from the appearance of this house, it is very ordinary, and for a local wealthy family, there is nothing unusual about it.

Chu Qingzhou glanced at the attendant beside him, and the attendant stepped forward to knock on the door first.

The rich door opened, and a middle-aged man came out. Seeing that several people were dressed in extraordinary clothes, he immediately stepped forward solemnly, and asked cautiously: "I am the housekeeper of the Shen family. Who are you? What is the purpose of coming to the Shen family?"

The attendant showed his token, pointed to Ye Jing, and said, "This is His Royal Highness King Jing, who came to Yuzhou to investigate the case. The Shen family was involved in the case, so I came here to investigate."

The housekeeper was surprised, and hurriedly welcomed them into the living room, then ordered them to serve tea, and then said: "Everyone wait a moment, the villain will report to the third young master." After speaking, he trotted away.

Su Yuduo took a look at the attendant, his eyes revealing a bit of admiration.

Chu Qingzhou said: "He is my valet, he has been by my side since childhood, and his name is Qingyang."

Hearing the words, Qing Yang stepped forward to salute Su Yan, Su Yan nodded lightly, and couldn't help but glance at him more.A close servant used the same word as Chu Qingzhou's name, which shows that his identity and status are unusual in Chu Qingzhou's eyes.

Not a moment later, a young man came out, with a beautiful face and a personable demeanor.He walked in front of Ye Jing, bowed and saluted: "The third son of the Shen family, Shen Zhizhi, see His Royal Highness King Jing and all your lords."

"Excuse me." Ye Jing said elegantly, her expression was calm, and she didn't seem to match the rumored stupidity at all.

Shen Zhizhi stood up, glanced at the woman next to Ye Jing, and said, "I heard from the housekeeper that the nobles are here to handle the case. I wonder if there is anything I can do to help?"

Ye Huan asked, "The Shen family was in charge of the tribute brocade the year before last?"

Shen Zhizhi nodded, and said calmly: "From mulberry silk to weaving, to dyeing and embroidery, all come from the Shen family."

"Then the third son was in charge of the tribute brocade boat the year before last?" Ye Huan asked again.

Shen Zhizhi shook his head, and when he mentioned this, his eyes instantly darkened: "The second brother was in charge of those tribute brocades, and the second brother unfortunately died that time."

Shen Zhizhi's sadness and despondency did not seem to be feigned, but why did he feel that something was wrong?
Chu Qingzhou looked at Shen Zhizhi steadfastly, and said, "I heard that Mr. Shen is the heir to the Shen family's business."

Shen Zhizhi was startled when he heard the words, then looked at Chu Qingzhou, and calmly replied: "Brother has been unwell since he was a child, and now he is recuperating in another hospital. It is true that the family business belongs to the eldest brother. My second brother and I just help take care of it."

"I don't know where the other courtyard of the Shen family is?" Su Yan suddenly interrupted and asked.

Shen Zhizhi said: "Outside the city, it's the Shen family's ancestral house."

Su Yu said: "I wonder if you can take us to Shen's cloth shop?"

"This..." Shen Zhizhi was stunned for a moment, with a look of embarrassment on his face, "A place like the cloth workshop is messy and dirty, and it is really not suitable for a few nobles to go there. If the princess wants to investigate someone, I can order someone Find it."

"Third Young Master, I'm worrying too much. I'm here to investigate the case, not to play." Chu Qingzhou replied softly, smiling unabated.

Having said all this, Shen Zhizhi had no choice but to respond: "In that case, I will take a few adults to have a look."

"The third son is here." Chu Qingzhou smiled lightly, and walked out of the living room with Ye Huan first.

Su Yan also got up, and walked in front of Shen Zhizhi with Ye Jing, and took another look at him.

When Shen Zhizhi looked at her, his head lowered a little.This woman is courageous and shrewd, and she seems to be very accurate in judging people and things. Fortunately, Mr. Fu Yin had informed her earlier, so that he would not be at a loss and had some preparations.

The Shen family is a big family in Yuzhou, and its cloth business has monopolized the market. From silk production to finished products, it provides one-stop service and strives for excellence.

Shen's cloth workshop is located on the outskirts of the city. The factory occupies a very large area and there are many workers.

Stepping into the cloth workshop, the mess and chaos that Shen Zhizhi mentioned did not appear, on the contrary, everything was clean and orderly, which shows that Shen's has a unique management system.

"You can take a look at it casually, if you don't understand anything, you can ask me." Shen Zhizhi said.
