Chapter 62: Framed, the Shen family takes the blame
"Royal brother, I'm not talking nonsense. The only person I've offended recently is Su Haitang. Apart from her, I really can't think of anyone else who would be so bold as to attack me."
"Furthermore, those assassins today were no weaklings. They defeated my guards in a short time. This shows that the family behind them must be extremely powerful, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to train assassins of this caliber."
The more Xiao Jinmian thought about it, the more she felt that the Su family was more likely to be the cause, and she had already convicted the Su family in her heart.
"What do you mean? Could it be that you were the one who caused Miss Su to fall into the lake last time?"
Xiao Jue frowned slightly and looked at the girl seriously. Xiao Jinmian immediately lowered his head, a guilty look appearing on his face.
"So what if it was me? Su Haitang contradicted me in front of so many people and trampled on the reputation of the royal family. I just wanted to teach her a lesson. Otherwise, how could I still have the dignity to face the other noble ladies in the future?"
"Besides, she deliberately stood by the lake without a guardrail, setting a trap for me. If I hadn't been lucky, I would have been the one who fell into the lake that day."
She didn't want to reveal that Chen Yaoxing had done something evil, so naturally she couldn't tell anyone about saving her. She could only attribute everything to good luck.
"How did you get her into the lake?"
A few days after the incident, Su Chongyuan did not mention the matter in the court, which means that the other party did not have enough evidence to prove that the imperial sister had hurt someone.
Otherwise, Su Chongyuan would definitely not miss this great opportunity to take advantage of the situation and attack him.
"Royal brother, please don't ask. Anyway, I didn't show up, and I didn't even get close to Su Haitang. Even if Su Haitang insisted that I was the one who killed her, it was just a false accusation. She has no evidence."
Xiao Jinmian didn't want to deceive her brother, nor could she tell the truth, so she could only answer like this.
Hearing this, Xiao Jue and Xiao Yelin turned to look at Chen Yaoxing, their eyes probing, but Chen Yaoxing remained calm.
Haha, don’t doubt it, this guy is one of the people who can do such a thing in the Duke’s Mansion.
The two of them probably knew why Xiao Jinmian didn't explain the matter clearly. She must be protecting this kid.
"What the emperor said makes sense. These days, I will focus on investigating the Su family. If it is really that old man Su Chongyuan who did this to the emperor, I will definitely help the emperor vent his anger."
Xiao Yelin started to investigate the matter that night, and Shen Yaoxing, after bidding farewell to the three siblings, hurried back to the Shen family and told Shen Yuanhong about the false accusation.
Upon hearing that someone had assassinated the princess and deliberately framed him, Shen Yuanhong became furious and called Lu Li and Mo Zhan over.
The last assassination incident had not yet revealed any clues, and this time he was framed again. Obviously, he was being targeted.
"Go and investigate if there's any connection between the assassin who killed the princess and the assassin who ambushed her last time. We must find something useful this time."
"By the way, Prince Jin is also investigating this matter. Remember to be careful and don't get into conflict with Prince Jin's people."
"yes."
Lu Li and Mo Zhan disappeared into the darkness.
Shen Yuanhong narrowed his eyes. The other party was very cautious and seemed to have just appeared recently. There was no trace of him at all. He was afraid that he would not be able to find anything useful this time.
In this case, he must make sufficient preparations to completely pull the Shen family out of the quagmire.
"Yaoxing, go do something..."

The north wind was strong all night, and the snow was still falling when I opened the door.
The next day, the snow willows, rime, jade trees and white flowers outside the window were as beautiful as a painting.
When Chen Wan opened her eyes, she saw a vast expanse of white outside the window. The roofs and branches were covered with thick snow. The entire Duke's Mansion seemed to have entered a world of ice and snow. A hint of surprise quickly flashed across her eyes.
[Hey, is it snowing? It's so beautiful.]
【I really want to go out and play.】
[The Yaowang Sect has neither the sea in the south nor the snow in the north, and I have never seen snow in my life.]
[This is my first time seeing real snow, and I can’t even play with it. Wow, so pitiful~]
【Feel sorry for myself for ten seconds! 】
Shen Yaoxing + Shen Qingyi + Madam Shen: "..."
It turns out that the little girl has never seen snow. Seeing that she knows everything and seems very capable, I thought nothing could stump her. I didn't expect that she had never seen snow in her previous life.
It's really a bit unexpected.
Shen Qingyi was planning to go out, but after hearing Shen Wan's thoughts, she instantly changed her mind and decided to go out later.
She walked over and picked up Shen Wan, chuckling, "Little sister, it's snowing outside. Can I carry you out to see the snow?"
【Wow, really? Really?】
[Third sister, are you really going to carry me to see the snow? ]
[Third sister is the best, the most considerate, I love her, I love her the most.]
[Then let's go quickly, Third Sister, please carry me out. I can't wait any longer...]
Shen Wan looked at Shen Qingyi with joy in her eyes.
Shen Qingyi: "..."
I'm so anxious, but don't be anxious yet, I have to tell mom first.
"Mom, I took my little sister outside to see the snow."
Mrs. Shen sighed, feeling torn. If she wanted to refuse, Xiao Wan'er was so looking forward to it. If she was not allowed to go, she would definitely be disappointed.
But if I were to go, it had just snowed and was still windy. What if I got sick?
Once she gets sick, it is Xiaowaner who suffers, and no one can replace her.
"Well, you can go out if you want, but you have to dress Xiaowaner in two more layers of clothes. She'll catch a cold if she goes out like this."
After saying that, Mrs. Shen turned around and went to the closet to get clothes.
Shen Qingyi touched Shen Wan's face angrily and said, "I'm sorry, little sister. I didn't think of this and almost made you sick."
[Uh uh uh, to be honest, I didn't expect this either, so I can't really blame my sister.]
[I've been reborn as a baby. This body is too weak, but it doesn't matter. I'm still here, and I'll take care of it.]
Mrs. Shen: “…”
Soon, Chen Wan was covered with a cotton coat, a cotton hat on her head, and a small quilt on the outside, wrapping herself tightly.
In addition to being more bloated, the weight was also increased a lot, making it a bit difficult for Shen Qingyi to hold it. Seeing all this, Shen Yaoxing frowned and strode over.
"It's a bit slippery outside, not easy to walk. If you carry my little sister to see the snow, I'm afraid she will fall after a few steps. Give it to me, I will carry my little sister to see the snow."
Hearing this, Shen Qingyi couldn't help but blush. She had clearly agreed to carry her little sister to see the snow, but it seemed that she had overestimated her strength.
Chen Yaoxing was right. It was snowing and icy outside, and some places were quite slippery. If she insisted on being tough, she might really fall down while holding her little sister.
"Little sister, for safety's sake, let your second brother hold you. He's good at Qinggong and very strong, so it will be safer for you to hold him."
[Okay, okay, then second brother, hold me.]
She wants to see the snow.
Chen Yaoxing chuckled helplessly.
It’s true that when there is something useful, the second brother is called a cheerful one, but when there is nothing to do, the second brother is called a bastard.
What can we do?
She’s your own precious sister, so just pamper her.
