"Thank you."

Shen Wan's voice was soft, even tinged with a hint of sobbing.

Xie Jingyan hugged Shen Wan tightly and said helplessly, "You already have a child, why are you still being so formal with me?"

With just one sentence, Shen Wan's sorrow over her past life was shattered.

Xie Jingyan rubbed Shen Wan's head and said, "Stop thinking nonsense, go to sleep."

Shen Wan didn't speak again and closed her eyes.

Before long, I drifted off to sleep.

...

When she woke up the next day, Xie Jingyan was no longer in bed. Shen Wan sat on the bed, stretching and feeling refreshed and energetic.

Yinshuang brought in a copper basin, grinning as she said, "Your Highness, last night assassins broke into the Prince Jin's residence and burned most of it down. The dowries of the two Princesses of Jin were almost completely destroyed."

assassin……

Those two words are just awful.

Who would claim their own people are assassins?

Yinshuang was unaware of the situation, so Shenwan didn't correct her.

Shen Ying already disliked the small dowry the Marquis's mansion gave her, which was less than hers and less than Fu Shu's. She never expected that the fire would burn almost everything down, which was enough to make her feel the pinch.

However, the real valuable items in the dowry were the land and shops. Even if the land deeds and house deeds were burned, they could be replaced, although it would be troublesome, and the loss was not that serious.

Shen Wan threw off the covers and got out of bed. Yin Shuang helped her get dressed. Dong'er came in and said, "Your Highness, the Prince of Jin's mansion was burned down. His Majesty is furious and has ordered the Ministry of Justice to investigate who did it. He has also bestowed another house upon the Prince of Jin, but the location is not good enough, as it is quite far from the palace."

Officials were scrambling to get a house near the palace, since it was close by and they could sleep in a little longer in the morning. There wasn't a suitable house to give to Xie Jingyin right away, so they had to make do.

It's understandable that the Emperor was furious, after all, someone had plotted to harm Fu Shu's unborn child, someone had tried to assassinate her, and now the Prince of Jin's residence had been set on fire...

More importantly, none of these cases were ever solved.

The Ministry of Justice is under great pressure.
