Chapter 64 She is so smart, she doesn’t look like a baby at all
"As for turning back halfway, it was because I was afraid that if something really happened to the princess, I would be suspected."
Hearing this, Chen Yaoxing frowned even more tightly, "Then how did you know that the princess would suffer a bloody disaster yesterday?"
Regarding what happened last night, someone deliberately framed the Shen family. Could it be that she accidentally discovered some inside story?
"That's what my little sister said. I've said everything I need to say. Isn't it time for you to explain too?"
Chen Yaoxing: “…”
Little sister, you even know this?
I wonder if my younger sister has mentioned who sent those assassins.
"I took Mo Yun out yesterday and happened to see the princess being assassinated, so I saved her."
Shen Qingyi rolled her eyes and didn't believe a word of what he said.
She is not a three-year-old child who can be fooled so easily.
It was obvious that he was following someone secretly, yet he said seriously that he was just passing by.
Seeing that her eyes were almost rolling to the back of her head, Shen Yaoxing fell silent.
Is your performance so obvious?
Even Shen Qingyi, this silly sister, could see it?
"So, the princess really was assassinated yesterday? So what happened to her? Did anything happen to her?"
Soon, Shen Qingyi thought of something again, grabbed his sleeve, and looked at him anxiously.
Chen Yaoxing shook his head, but said helplessly:
"You already said I was following her secretly. What could have happened to her? She was just a little frightened and had some skin scraped off her face. Other than that, she's fine."
Shen Qingyi: "..."
"However, it's a good thing you came back in time last night, otherwise, you would have been in real trouble."
Shen Yaoxing's face became serious. If she really went, then the Shen family might really be convicted of assassinating the princess.
As soon as the princess was assassinated, she ran to show concern. She is too well-informed. Add to that the hot token, and who would believe her if she said it had nothing to do with the Shen family?
I'm afraid that even if the emperor and Prince Jin say they trust the Shen family, they will still have doubts in their hearts.
“…”
Shen Qingyi's face turned pale. "Is it that serious? Is there something else going on?"
If it was just this one thing, it shouldn't be so serious.
"Tsk, you've become much smarter."
Chen Yaoxing looked at her indifferently and told her about the token.
"What? There's such a thing?"
He assassinated the princess and deliberately left evidence to frame my father. Who is that person to come up with such a vicious trick?
Shen Qingyi was stunned. She had been protected too well since she was a child. This was the first time she felt so intuitively what the evil of human nature was.
"Little sister, do you have anything else to say? For example, who sent the assassin to kill the princess?"
If he could get useful information from his younger sister, he would be able to directly lock onto the target and more easily pull out the mastermind behind the scenes. Even if he couldn't find evidence, he could still use the same method against the person.
A hint of hostility flashed across Chen Yaoxing's eyes.
Shen Qingyi came back to her senses and shook her head slightly.
"No, my little sister said the plot is broken. In the plot, the princess has not encountered any assassination so far. This time it was also my little sister's own calculation, not the plot."
"Is that so..."
Chen Yaoxing pursed his lips tightly.
Then we can only wait for the results of the investigation from Prince Jin.
Private ironmaking is not allowed in Yun State, and all iron tools on the market must be registered.
Those more than 20 assassins are all top-notch in terms of martial arts and weapons. They have more than just one or two weapons. I don’t believe that anyone has such great ability to hide all the information.
"It's getting late, so you should go quickly and come back soon. Do you know what to say when you get to the Princess's Mansion?"
"I know," Shen Qingyi nodded and said, "Just tell me when you came back, that's how I found out about it."
"Well, our Shen family is in a troubled time right now. Remember to be careful when speaking and think twice before speaking."
"I know, I know. You're almost more annoying than Dad right now."
Chen Yaoxing: “…”
While the two were discussing this in secret, Shen Wan was also breastfeeding and reviewing the princess' affairs.
Unfortunately, she was only surrounded by a wet nurse and a little maid, and no one from the Shen family, so no one could hear her thoughts.
[No, no, I suddenly remembered. Although the princess has been smooth sailing so far except for being pushed into the water by Su Haitang, she also encountered an assassination attempt in the original plot.]
[The original plot briefly mentioned that she pushed Su Haitang into the lake to teach her a lesson. However, due to the lack of witnesses and her status as a princess, Su Chongyuan couldn't punish her based solely on Su Haitang's testimony, so the matter was left unresolved.]
Just when everyone thought the situation had been resolved, the princess was assassinated. However, she was rescued by Shen Yaoxing, who had been secretly protecting her, and she narrowly escaped death.
Afterwards, the emperor was furious and ordered the Prince of Jin to investigate the matter. However, they discovered various pieces of evidence incriminating the Shen family, the clearest of which was a black iron order with the words "Duke of Ningguo" inscribed on it.
[The assassin has clearly pinned the blame on the Shen family. Good grief, so now, is the plot going back to where it started?]
[The plot is indeed very powerful. No matter how it collapses before, there is always a way to get back to the starting point. ]
[If it is exactly the same as the original plot, it will be troublesome. ]
[The other party completely disguised themselves as Dad's men. The flaws they deliberately revealed after the operation failed were all set up for Dad. Even the weapons used by the assassins were forged in Dad's name at the Armory.]
[These weapons are all registered, so they can be traced back to the culprits with a simple search. By then, even if the Emperor and the Prince of Jin knew that Dad was framed and designed the weapon, they wouldn't be able to produce any evidence.]
[Alas, there's no point in me being anxious about this. I can't tell Dad the real culprit who assassinated the princess~]
【I hope Daddy can save himself this time. 】
[In the original storyline, at this point, my mother had already committed suicide, and my father was drowning his sorrows in alcohol, completely oblivious to what was happening in the outside world.]
My eldest brother has difficulty walking, so Uncle Seven has been looking after me while investigating this matter, but he hasn't found any clues.
[This time, the fate of my mother and second brother has been rewritten, and my father won't be as depressed as in the original plot. From now on, it depends on how my father handles it.]
Mrs. Shen, who was walking to the door, happened to hear the last sentence. Annoyance flashed across her beautiful eyes, and she left for a while. She didn't know what Xiao Wan'er said. What if it was important information?
When the nanny saw the person standing at the door, she quickly stood up and saluted. Mrs. Shen took a deep breath, walked into the house with a smile on her face, and picked up Xiao Wan'er.
Shen Wan greeted Mrs. Shen with an "ah ah", showing her pink teeth and smiling happily.
Seeing the little girl laughing happily, the nanny exclaimed: "The little lady is amazing. I have been a nanny for more than ten years, but this is the first time I have seen such a smart child."
Babies who are just over a hundred days old can usually only eat, drink, defecate and urinate, but this one is different. Not only can he crawl and laugh, he can also respond with "ah" and chat with people. His eyes are bright and lively, unlike an ordinary baby.
