Chapter 76 No matter how many heads you have, they are not enough
"That's right, what happened to Dad?"
Shen Qingyi already knew the whole story, but she was not stupid after all. She thought that Shen Yaoxing must have his own reasons for saying this suddenly, so she joined in and pretended to be very anxious.
Only Madam Shen was kept in the dark. When she heard what Shen Yaoxing said, she thought that her act of asking Shen Yuanhong to help the princess had been exposed and she had offended Prince Jin.
She looked at Chen Yaoxing anxiously and said, "Yaoxing, what happened to your father? What do you mean by being hostile? Tell me quickly."
"Mother, don't worry. The princess was assassinated a few days ago..."
Chen Yaoxing spoke slowly and recounted the incident, and everyone listened very attentively.
Knowing that someone had deliberately framed Shen Yuanhong, Mrs. Shen felt a chill on her back.
Privately shielding weapons is no small matter.
You even used these weapons to assassinate the princess. No matter how many heads you have, they will not be enough to chop off!
【What the second brother said happened in the original plot.】
[In the original plot, the heroine insisted that it was the princess who harmed her. General Su doted on his daughter, so he naturally believed her words. He was so angry that the princess bullied his daughter that he tried to teach her a lesson.]
[He didn't really want to kill the princess, he just wanted to scare her.]
[But no matter what, attacking a member of the royal family was a serious offense, so after careful consideration, he decided to target his father.]
Since the founding of the Great Wu State, various departments have had problems to varying degrees. As the powerful Grand Marshal, Su Chongyuan is well aware of some of the system's loopholes.
[So, he had someone forge a batch of weapons under my father's name, trying to frame my father for the incident.]
[Wait, wait, wait, I've gotten off track. Anyway, what's going on now?]
[On the day of my 100-day banquet, the heroine fell into the water. Could it be that the princess did it?]
【No way, no way? 】
If this is true, wouldn't it be even more outrageous?
[In the plot, the heroine manipulated the script and clearly pushed the princess into the water. How could she possibly be pushed into the water by the princess again?]
If it was really the princess who pushed him into the water, given Madam Su's fiery temper, how could she not have argued with the princess that day?
[Ahhhhh, what the hell is going on? I'm going bald.]
[This plot is so confusing, I can't understand it, I can't understand it at all.]
【……】
Just when the plot was about to fall into place, it took a few detours. Chen Wan was almost dizzy and was screaming madly in her heart.
Chen Yaoxing's eyes flickered slightly, and a hint of darkness flashed across his eyes very quickly.
Oh, the silly princess really guessed it right.
It turned out that it was that old man Su Chongyuan who did it.
Assassinating the princess and framing her father is like killing two birds with one stone.
"Such a big thing, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Shen also realized the whole story belatedly. Yaoxing had never mentioned this matter before, but he took the initiative to bring it up after Xiaowaner's words, presumably to ask Xiaowaner some information.
It seems that the matter should not be too serious. Mrs. Shen breathed a sigh of relief, and her tightly suspended heart slowly let go.
"Well, I didn't tell Mom because I was afraid she would worry."
"But I thought about it again. No matter how subtle the enemy is, we don't know what they will do to us next. So, I decided to tell Mom so that she can be more vigilant and be more careful when going out."
Chen Mu frowned in thought and asked softly, "So how are things going now?"
It was only now that he knew that such a thing had happened in the Shen family.
"The Emperor has handed this matter over to Prince Jin, who has full authority to investigate. However, the clues from the Military Equipment Bureau have been completely cut off. It's hard to say what will happen next."
"Second brother, if this plot really goes back to the original plot, we probably can't rely on the King of Jin."
[Because his direction was wrong, he wouldn't be able to find anything if he focused on Su Chongyuan. He should have focused on Madam Su.]
Madam Su comes from the top-tier Wang family and is the elder sister of the Wang family head. The Wang family head respects this elder sister very much, and therefore, the Su and Wang families are very close.
[Many of Su Chongyuan's shameful deeds were handled by the Wang family.]
[The Wang family maintains several groups of death warriors. On paper, the Xie family is the most prominent family, but in terms of strength, the Wang family is not necessarily weaker than the Xie family.]
【……】
Wang family!!!
"Mom, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. You and Qingyi should pay more attention to each other during this period. Remember?"
After getting the key information, Chen Yaoxing left in a hurry. Before leaving, he did not forget to make a pretentious explanation.
"I remember."
Madam Shen responded and watched him leave.
After leaving the yard, Chen Yaoxing went straight to find Shen Yuanhong. Shen Yuanhong had not returned from court yet, so he stood outside the study waiting.
Half an hour later, Shen Yuanhong came back wearing a purple Qilin official uniform, and he was seen standing outside the door from a distance.
"father."
Chen Yaoxing also saw him and strode towards him.
"What is it?"
"That's good."
Chen Yaoxing curled his lips and smiled, looked around, moved closer to Shen Yuanhong, and whispered something in his ear.
After hearing this, Shen Yuanhong's lips curled up.
"It's a good thing indeed. Do you know what to do?"
"Don't worry, Dad. I know everything. I'm just asking for your advice."
"Well, go ahead and do it. But remember to be careful and give a signal immediately if you encounter any problems."
"I understand, Dad."
East Garden.
Shen Wan was still immersed in the plot, while Shen Mu and Shen Qingyi listened very attentively.
[Although the Wang family keeps a low profile and keeps things secret, as long as Uncle Seventh is around, Dad will definitely be able to do everything smoothly.]
[In the original plot, it was Uncle Seven who broke the game.]
[This time, although Dad is here, it's not Uncle Seven's turn to take action, but if Dad really encounters a difficult problem, Uncle Seven will definitely not sit idly by.]
[Well, that's it, so I'd better not worry about it.]
【……】
Thinking about the plot, sleepiness gradually came over her. Shen Wan yawned a few times, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
"Xiao Wan'er is asleep, give it to me."
Madam Shen bent down and picked her up, holding her in her arms and patting her gently, and only put her on the bed after she fell completely asleep.
Chen Mu looked over and said softly, "Mom, I'll leave first."
"Well, go ahead."
At night.
Beiyuan.
Chen Mu was holding a book in his hand, sitting by the window and reading carefully in the bright candlelight. Suddenly, Mo Yun walked in hurriedly.
"Prince, this is bad~"
"What is it?"
Chen Mu spoke softly without even raising his head.
"Someone down there sent me news that Miss Su was beaten and seriously injured."
Ever since the day of the Hundred Days Banquet, when the prince had the girl sent back, he specially arranged two people to watch her in secret.
Therefore, whatever situation Miss Su encountered would be reported quickly.
