"No, I am from Qiyang, but I have lived in Beijing with my parents since I was young, so I learned the Beijing accent. However, I still speak a little bit of my hometown accent." Yan straightened her back and answered calmly.

"I see." Shen Xinyan nodded and asked her a few more questions, all of which received perfect answers.

Seeing that it was getting late outside the window, she didn't want to stay any longer, so she got up and said goodbye.

The master and servant of the Yan family personally escorted her out of the courtyard. It was not until she saw the backs of Shen Xinyan and Chunliu merge into the thick moonlight that Yan said to Yuwei beside her with a worried look on her face, "I'm afraid I have aroused the suspicion of the Crown Prince's wife tonight."

"How could this be? I saw that my sister's answer was correct, and it was exactly the same as what the prince told her that day!" Yuwei was puzzled.

Thinking of the meaningful look Shen Xinyan gave her before she left, Yan shook her head: "I guess it's because I handled it too perfectly that people are suspicious."

It's so perfect that I always feel like I've been prepared and am just waiting for the other person to ask.

"Let's not talk about it. After all, the Crown Prince's wife is not our enemy. Just guess it. Anyway, the wife is no longer in the mansion. After the matter is accomplished, we can leave here."

Yu Wei thought about it and realized that it was true. She couldn't help but feel happy: "It would be great if it were true. Sister, you don't know, I'm not used to facing this face that doesn't belong to me all day. Also, it always feels weird when you call me by your own name."

Yan patted her forehead helplessly.

This girl, does she think she will get used to it if she calls her name to others? She just had to do it. Could it be that she really wants the lady to be the concubine of the prince of Wei? Even if it's just in name, it would be strange if His Majesty would agree!

Thinking of Shen Xinyan's unexpected visit tonight, she couldn't help but frown.

If there was no reason, the Crown Prince's wife would never come so suddenly, and judging from her behavior just now, it seemed like she was here to test him. Could it be that she was suspicious of something?

She felt a little uneasy, always thinking that something big must have happened tonight, which led to the arrival of the Crown Prince's wife, who had always ignored her.

"Why would Madam go to Aunt Yan's place for no reason?" Xia He was puzzled after hearing this from Chunliu.

Although Aunt Yan had never caused any trouble since she came into the family, and had never gotten close to the prince, Xia He still had a hard time getting fond of her.

It would be strange if a woman who becomes someone else's mistress could be a decent woman.

"I don't know either. I just sat for a while, asked a few questions, and then came back." Chunliu was also confused.

Inside the house, Shen Xinyan was combing her long hair absentmindedly.

What happened to Yu Wei? Is it possible that she has become a different person? I can't possibly make a mistake. A pair of eyes as beautiful as that, once I've seen them, I'll never forget them.

A person's appearance can be changed, but the eyes can't deceive people in the short term, right?

But why did she have to hide her identity? Where did the original 'Yu Wei' go? She was just a maid...

Wait, is she really a maid?

She suddenly had a bold idea, could it be that Yu Wei was not a maid at all? Or in other words, "the master is not the master, and the servant is not the servant", Yan, as the "master", may not really be the "master", and Yu Wei, as the "servant", may not really be the "servant"!

It seems that only this can explain clearly why Aunt Yan is still Aunt Yan, but the maid "Yuwei" is no longer the original "Yuwei".

She rubbed her forehead with a headache, feeling that she was about to go crazy.

In short, the relationship between the master and servant of the Yan family is not normal!

She came to a conclusion in her mind.

"Madam, someone from the Crown Prince's side came to report that he would not be back for a while. Please go to rest first and don't wait for him." Qiu Tang lifted the curtain and came in to report.

"knew."

It would be strange if the Duke did not take such a big thing seriously. Although he has been idle at home for so many years, he has always paid attention to the affairs of the court.

Although this was just a case of an ordinary father and son filing a complaint to redress a grievance, the person they were suing was the prince of the current dynasty, the uncle of the current emperor. No one knew whether there was any conspiracy involved.

If someone dares to come and file a complaint, he may have intended to commit suicide and would do so even at the cost of his own life. It is either because the injustice is serious or he is deliberately framing you.

No matter which one it is, it is enough to shock the government and the public.

The most interesting thing is the good timing chosen by this father and son. The Prime Minister's mansion was getting married, and almost all the officials who had a say in the court were present. This news could not be concealed at all and quickly spread throughout the court and the country.

The more people pay attention, the greater the pressure on the Ministry of Justice, the smaller the possibility of favoritism and abuse of power, and the more likely it is that the truth will be revealed.

However, in this case, the newlyweds tonight might not be very happy, as their wedding day was disturbed like this, and they might not be able to keep the guests.

She couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Fang Birong.

Compared to her previous life of smooth sailing, this life was really not easy for this girl. She had gone through so much trouble to find a good marriage, but the most important day of a girl's life was disrupted like this.

As a woman in the inner court, she knew very little about the affairs of the previous dynasty. She only treated the matter of the carriage being pulled to file a complaint as gossip. Although Shen Xinyan was also paying attention to the progress of the matter, she knew very little due to her status.

However, Yang had heard some news from somewhere and would talk to her from time to time.

"You didn't see it. After returning from Marquis Pingliang's Mansion that day, my sister-in-law's face has not been good. Tsk tsk, her wedding day was disrupted like this. In the future, when everyone mentioned that day, they only knew that a father and son were so bold as to sue the prince of the time. Who would still remember that she was a girl from Marquis Pingliang's Mansion who married into the Prime Minister's Mansion." Yang had a mocking expression on her face.

Shen Xinyan smiled and didn't respond to her.

Yang didn't care, and continued mysteriously: "Second sister-in-law, you know, I heard that the father and son were invited to the Ministry of Justice. His Majesty issued an order to let the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice re-examine the case of Yue Pingshan. When Prince Cheng found out, he made a big fuss in the Golden Palace. It was a big fuss!"

"Oh? Prince Cheng actually caused trouble in the Golden Palace? What happened next?" Shen Xinyan became interested.

"Your Majesty's words are as good as gold. Since you have issued an order, it will not be changed. Now the officials of the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice have begun to investigate the case. I heard that the father and son have a lot of strong evidence, enough to prove that the real culprit of the Yue Pingshan case was Prince Cheng, and that Prefect Zhao was just framed by Prince Cheng and made a scapegoat."

At this point, Yang said with a look of regret: "It's a pity for the prefect Zhao, he lost his life in vain."

It's not just losing one's life, it's basically destroying the whole family! Shen Xinyan thought secretly.

"Oh, yes, I also heard an important news." Yang suddenly came to her side and said excitedly, "It is said that Princess Rui is not dead yet!"

"What? Princess Rui is not dead?" Shen Xinyan widened her eyes in shock.

Satisfied with the impact she had brought to the other party, Yang smiled and pretended to be mysterious and continued, "I just heard about it yesterday. It is said that Princess Rui was too sad about her natal family affairs and her condition worsened. She died within a few days. Even the imperial physician thought she was dead. Unexpectedly, she came back to life when she was about to be buried. She was discovered by a monk who was invited by the King of Rui to recite scriptures and was brought back to life."

"Although the princess' life was temporarily saved, her body was still damaged, and she has been in a coma. If something unexpected happens again, King Rui will be overwhelmed with sorrow and joy, and then overwhelmed again... So several loyal ministers around King Rui sent the princess to Tsz Wan Shan for treatment away from the public. I heard that the princess woke up a few days ago. Could it be that she heard her brother's grievances?"

Shen Xinyan was speechless for a long time.

This is too weird.

It would be extremely surprising to anyone to hear that someone who had been dead for many years was suddenly alive again.

"Is this true or false? Has anyone seen Princess Rui?" she couldn't help but ask.

"It has spread everywhere, with details and details, and it is said that His Majesty will soon welcome her back to the palace as the Queen."

After a pause, Yang suddenly smiled with a look of gloating, and said in a low voice: "Second sister-in-law, what do you think will happen to Queen Zhou if Princess Rui returns to the palace? Will she be changed from queen to concubine? Oh my, if that is the case, it would be so embarrassing. It would be better for her not to be the queen from the beginning!"

It is a great thing to be promoted from imperial concubine to empress, but it is not a happy thing to be promoted from empress to imperial concubine.

"It's a pity for our sister Fang. She was once the queen's sister-in-law, but now she's all gone." She giggled with her hands covering her mouth, an expression of indescribable joy.

Now she wanted to see how the one from the eldest house could be happy!

Shen Xinyan was completely stunned, and felt that her brain was a little confused.

Princess Rui is not dead and will be welcomed back to the palace by His Majesty soon, but Queen Zhou will soon lose her position as Queen.

What was this all about? She had never heard of it in her two lifetimes.

Throughout her life until her death, Queen Zhou still sat firmly on the throne of Queen. Although she was not very favored, she was still the master of the imperial palace after all!

If it weren't for Empress Zhou who always supported them from behind, Lady Prime Minister and Lady Zhou Er might not have been able to make Lady Wen and Zhou Wanning and her daughter suffer!

"But these are just hearsay, but my third brother and his wife believed them to be true. I'm just saying these things to you, but don't mention them in front of mother, so as not to upset her." She calmed herself down and tried to persuade him kindly.

Exchanging wives and concubines is not a respectable thing. After all, the Grand Princess is a member of the royal family and may not be happy to hear these rumors.

"Oh, I'm not such a fool. I dare not say these things in front of my mother. I will just talk to my second sister-in-law."

Suddenly, the sound of children's footsteps came from the room. Yang looked up and recognized that it was the child named Linfu.

"This child has a good appearance, but I never noticed it before. It seems that being around famous teachers and scholars has some benefits. No wonder he is called Pingfu. He is much luckier than my brother Zhao and brother Yue to be accepted by Mr. Lu." Yang accepted Pingfu's gift, looked at him carefully, and said sourly.

"My third sister-in-law is joking. It's just that this child is a bit lucky and has the temperament of Mr. Lu. He dare not compare with Brother Zhao or Brother Yue." Shen Xinyan straightened the collar for Lin Fu and said with a smile when he heard it.

"Ying'er has been thinking about you for most of the day, go quickly!" After saying that, she said to Lingfu.

After watching Lin Fu bow and leave, Yang retracted her gaze and said, "Second sister-in-law treats this child very well, not much worse than how she treated Lin'er. If someone didn't know, they would think you two were real mother and son!"

"Perhaps this child and I are destined to be together, and since it was entrusted by Master Huiming, I dare not take it lightly."
