When Shu Linyue heard her daughter's name, her eyes dimmed slightly.
Shen Yubai knew that she was worried about Jiang Xiancao.
The Jiang family was on the verge of collapse, and Jiang Huaizhong and others learned from the people in Tianming Pavilion that the "Ninth Prince" was Jiang Xiancao.
Even if Zen Master Huiming failed to expose this matter last time, Jiang Huaizhong would never remain silent.
The man who is not worthy of being a father will definitely try his best to drag her daughter into the water in order to get revenge.
This is also why she knocked down Jiang Xiancao in advance and asked Shen Yubai to hide Jiang Xiancao and Shen Tingsi in the secret passage.
This is because she was worried that once the body swap was exposed, her brother-in-law, who hated witchcraft so much, would regard her daughter as a monster as well.
And once the bodies are swapped, it is difficult to switch back.
If she wants to forcibly change bodies again, there is a way, which is to destroy the soul of her daughter that occupies Shen Tingsi's body, and then lead Shen Tingsi's soul back to the original body.
Shu Linyue knew that Emperor Yong was considered benevolent and righteous among kings, but people are selfish. He would not sacrifice his own son for the sake of the life of a guilty minister's daughter.
Just like although Shen Tingsi is her nephew and the only son of her biological sister, she still has to protect her daughter first between him and her daughter.
If the situation gets bad, Jiang Xiancao can still leave the capital through a secret passage and escape far away.
Even if I have to hide for the rest of my life, at least I can still continue to live.
As for King Zhan in front of her, she didn't dare to trust him completely.
Prince Zhan will help her now only because she is proficient in Shu family metaphysics and can help him break Mr. Xuan's protective spell and completely destroy Tianming Pavilion.
She used this bargaining chip to make a deal with him in exchange for him helping her protect Jiang Xiancao.
But Prince Zhan is also an extremely intelligent man, and he may not betray her.
Thinking of this, Shu Linyue could not hide her anxiety. "If Marquis Wen Ning brings up Cao'er later, does His Royal Highness Prince Zhan have any way to deal with it?"
Shen Yubai raised his hand and made a hushing gesture to her, saying softly, "Don't worry, Princess. I have made arrangements."
When their carriage arrived at the gate of Marquis Wen Ning's mansion, the imperial guards had already surrounded the entire mansion.
The alarmed Marquis Wen Ning rushed to the door and confronted the leader of the imperial guards.
Seeing that people from the Imperial City Bureau had also arrived, his face looked extremely ugly.
When Shen Yubai got off the carriage, the look in his eyes seemed as if he wanted to eat Shen Yubai alive.
But Shen Yubai didn't even change the smile on his lips. He just looked at him indifferently and let him hate and be hostile.
Marquis Wenning roared with red eyes:
"What have you done to my wife? You actually bewitched her into falsely accusing her husband in front of the Emperor!"
He had already received the news that the Wen Ning Marquis' Mansion had summoned the imperial guards again because of Lu, who had gone out early this morning under the pretext of visiting relatives.
But he still didn't know what crime Lu had accused him of, and just thought that Shen Yubai had casually instigated Lu.
Shen Yubai smiled and said:
"Marquis Wenning, please don't slander me. Your wife and I have never had any undue contact, nor have we done anything we shouldn't have done. But you, on the other hand, the secret you've kept hidden for so many years is finally being exposed to the light of day. You must be very frightened, right?"
When Marquis Wen Ning thought of Shu Linyue being taken to the Ninth Prince's residence, he felt extremely insecure, but in front of Shen Yubai, he still pretended to be upright and honest:
"Your Highness, I don't understand what you are saying!"
Shen Yubai laughed twice, then turned around and said to the carriage behind him and Shu Linyue:
"Xiao Jiu'er, come out. We have an agreement that the matter of accusing Marquis Wen Ning will still be left to you."
Jiang Xiancao lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage with a cold expression.
Shu Linyue, who was in the car in front, showed a look of astonishment when he heard this.
Hadn’t Jiang Xiancao been knocked unconscious by her and hidden in the secret passage? How could he appear here!
