Chapter 71 You just need to lose.
When the two old women saw Lin Wei come late at night and ask about such private matters, they were terrified, fearing that something had happened that would implicate them.
One by one, they were filled with trepidation: "We dare not lie. Miss Shen is indeed a virgin."
Another nanny chimed in, "The marks and feel are natural, not something that was done later. We wouldn't dare deceive His Majesty and the Marquis!"
Lin Wei's eyes darkened slightly.
A moment later, he waved his hand, signaling the two maids to leave.
"You must not tell anyone about the matter I am here tonight to ask you."
The two old women were overjoyed and nodded repeatedly in agreement. After bowing, they hurriedly withdrew.
The fact that Marquis Dingyuan came to them late at night to ask about this matter suggests that something must have happened between him and Shen Shu.
Even if they had ten heads, they wouldn't dare to talk about the private affairs of these important people, unless they didn't want to live!
After their figures disappeared into the night, Lin Wei stood alone in the same spot, his eyes becoming increasingly deep and unfathomable.
...
The next day, a messenger came to say that Prince Cheng was dead, but had not yet been discovered.
Shen Shu said, "Don't worry about it. Someone will find out when the person starts to rot."
She breathed a sigh of relief; finally, the matter between Cheng Wang and Shen Xiao had come to an end.
Now that these two are dead, her remaining enemies are Wen Lanting, Shen Qiushan, and Shen Lian.
She will not spare a single member of the Shen family.
She must now go back and continue sending the rest of them to hell.
After lunch, he bid farewell to the princess.
Xie Mingzhu knew she could no longer keep Shen Shu. After all, Shen Xiao was dead, and Shen Shu, as her own sister, had to go back now.
Xie Mingzhu was worried about letting Shen Shu go back alone.
Xie Mingzhu: "Then I'll personally take you back. With me here, I doubt your parents will dare to say anything more."
Shen Shu nodded gratefully.
The princess's carriage remained silent until it slowly came to a stop in front of the Earl's mansion.
Shen Shu wanted to go in by herself, but Xie Mingzhu refused, insisting that her uncle and aunt come out to greet her.
If they say Shen Xiao is dead, they'll inevitably take their anger out on Shen Shu. She'll make sure to teach them a lesson right in front of them.
So, Aunt Yu Ran, a palace maid serving the princess, went in to announce the news.
In the front hall of the Shen residence, Shen Qiushan and Wen Lanting were both stunned upon hearing the news.
How could Shen Shu be with the Ninth Princess?
Shen Xiao has encountered such a serious incident.
Shen Qiushan was worried about his official position.
Wen Lanting was busy rescuing people.
They had no time to think about anything else.
They didn't even notice that Shen Shu hadn't returned to the mansion for more than ten days.
Now that Shen Shu has suddenly returned, how could the Shen Qiushan couple not be shocked?
Wen Lanting's expression was still relatively good, after all, Shen Xiao had been secretly sent out of the capital and was still alive.
You can't make her cry.
"Such a big thing happened at home, and Shen Shu didn't come back. Instead, she went out to have fun. When she got to the door, she couldn't even come in by herself. We, as her elders, had to go and greet her. What kind of logic is that?"
Seeing Wen Lanting's dismissive tone, Yu Ran believed Shen Shuhe and Princess Shen Shuhe's words even more.
It seems that Miss Shen's life in the Shen family is really not easy.
But after all, Yu Ran was Xie Mingzhu's head maid, and she had seen all kinds of situations. How could she be frightened by Wen Lanting's few words?
Yu Ran spoke without any politeness.
"Madam, Lord, I advise you to leave quickly. If you keep the princess waiting and she blames you, you will be the ones who suffer. Don't be ungrateful. I have to urge you three times and four times before I came to inform you. I have already given you face. Don't be ungrateful."
Wen Lanting and Shen Qiushan's faces turned a deep shade of liver after hearing Yu Ran's words.
Especially Shenqiu Mountain.
The Bo Gong family is currently facing a life-or-death crisis. Although Shen Xiao is dead, it is still unknown whether she will be implicated.
After all, that madman Cheng Wang is still alive!
If he's still not satisfied and takes his anger out on the Earl's family, then they're completely finished.
They can't afford to add another charge!
Shen Qiushan reprimanded Wen Lanting in a low voice: "Women shouldn't interrupt if they don't understand. Didn't you hear that the Ninth Princess is here? Even if we don't welcome Shu'er, we should still go and see the princess. Hurry up and leave."
He was the first to stand up and walk outside.
Wen Lanting gritted his teeth, but he had no better choice than to follow Shen Qiushan.
They arrived at the gate and began to bow to Xie Mingzhu's carriage.
"This humble official and his wife have come to greet the Ninth Princess. Please forgive us for not being able to welcome her properly."
Inside the carriage, Xie Mingzhu gave Shen Shu a look, signaling that Shen Shu should not speak.
She had to get revenge for Shen Shu today, no matter what.
Through the carriage curtain, Xie Mingzhu's voice came from inside the carriage: "Does the Earl know he has failed to greet me properly? Knowing this, why did he make this princess wait so long? Is the Earl intentionally being disrespectful to this princess?"
Shen Qiushan's expression changed; he hadn't expected the Ninth Princess to actually start blaming him.
His heart was pounding: "Princess, I was delayed because I received some terrible news at home..."
"Alright, alright, I don't want to hear your excuses. Since you've made a mistake, you must be punished. I request that you rise at the third watch every day. I will send someone to teach you proper manners. Don't forget how to greet me next time you see me."
As he said this, ignoring Shen Qiushan's ugly face, which was as dark as the bottom of a pot, he turned his eyes to Wen Lanting.
"Madam, hurry up and help Shen Shu out of the carriage. Be careful, or I'll have someone beat you up if Shen Shu falls."
Wen Lanting paused, and the Ninth Princess asked her to help Shen Shu out of the carriage?
She is the wife of a great-uncle, not a maid; how could you ask her to help her up?
Wen Lanting looked at Shen Qiushan and saw that he also looked like he was in dire straits.
She gritted her teeth and could only go up to help.
Shen Shu got out of the car, putting on an innocent, timid look: "Thank you, Mother."
Xie Mingzhu felt extremely pleased to see Wen Lanting looking so unwilling.
Before leaving, Xie Mingzhu said, "The matter of Shen Xiao murdering my royal uncle has been settled. She is now dead. You can't keep throwing mud at her. If I find out that Shen Shu has been wronged, I will definitely settle the score. Some people shouldn't be too presumptuous."
Wen Lanting and Shen Qiushan suppressed their anger, knowing that Xie Mingzhu was targeting them.
After Xie Mingzhu left, Wen Lanting said fiercely to Shen Shu, "Don't think you've won."
Shen Shu sneered: "It doesn't matter whether I win or not, as long as you lose."
Wen Lanting was furious at Shen Shu's words and went back to her room to start smashing things!
The humiliation and fear that Wen Lanting had endured all this time finally erupted at this moment.
She lost her imperial title.
Her husband no longer doted on her.
Even her daughter was forced to wander outside because of Shen Shu. Although she survived, she will probably be a useless person who is muddleheaded and no one will want her as a concubine.
With red eyes, Wen Lanting called Zhao's mother over. She decided that this time, she would never use those convoluted and cunning tricks again.
She wanted to take Shen Shu's life directly.
"Mama Zhao! Call Tang'er from Lian'er's room over here."
