She didn't know what kind of mood her father was in that made him secretly return to the Fang family's old house and leave these notes.
But she knew very well in her heart that this was her only chance to clear her father's name.
Fang Qingyue sat there in a daze for a long time before she calmed down.
These evidences are enough to prove that her father did not betray his country, but the person behind the scenes has not been caught, so she cannot directly hand over these evidences to the Inspectorate.
I can only wait for Shen Yuhan to come.
She stood up silently, took out all the notes related to her father's wrongful accusation, and placed them on the table.
She collected the remaining notes, put them in an envelope, and put them back into the box.
Just in case, she also placed the vase she bought there.
Since my father was wrongly accused, everything in the house has been confiscated.
She didn't even have a single relic of Fang Xifu.
These things will stay here for now, as a reminder.
When Shen Yuhan arrived, Fang Qingyue had already composed herself and prepared a table of medicinal food for him.
The aroma of medicinal herbs and the fragrance of the food itself wafts in the air, making people's appetites grow.
Shen Yuhan sat at the table, Fang Qingyue served him the dishes. He raised his eyelids and glanced at Fang Qingyue: "You sit down and eat too."
Halfway through the meal, Fang Qingyue seemed to have thought of something and looked up at Shen Yuhan.
"Sir, have you found out who is involved in my father's death these days?" She looked straight at Shen Yuhan with some anticipation in her almond-shaped eyes.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuhan paused.
Ever since Fang Qingyue asked him for help that day, he sent people to investigate Fang Xifu's surrender to the enemy.
But the person behind the scenes cut off almost all the clues, and his men investigated repeatedly for a long time but failed to find any new clues.
There's only one thing that's quite strange.
It was a maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion who first spread the news that Fang Xifu had defected to the enemy and betrayed his country.
"We haven't found any clues." He glanced at Fang Qingyue and said calmly, "There shouldn't be any hidden secrets behind this matter."
"How is this possible?" Fang Qingyue thought of the notes and said in disbelief, "My father has always been loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and he loves the people like his own children. How could he do such a thing?"
She reached out to hold the back of Shen Yuhan's hand, trying to get a clue from him.
Shen Yuhan frowned, looking unhappy: "So, you asked me to come here just to say this?"
He didn't want to tell Fang Qingyue the hidden story behind this matter.
If this matter really involves the Prime Minister's Mansion, even he, a king of a different surname, will not be able to shake it easily.
After all, the prime minister's daughter is the most favored concubine of the current emperor. He favors her so much that even if the Zhou family's power in the court is so great that it can cover the sky with one hand, the emperor can pretend to turn a blind eye.
If Fang Qingyue knew the inside story, would she reveal it?
He only said a few words casually, but it was very likely that Fang Qingyue would be put in danger.
"I understand." Fang Qingyue didn't know what Shen Yuhan was angry about, and said dejectedly.
Since Shen Yuhan was unwilling to investigate carefully for her, she would just have to keep an eye on it herself.
Shen Yuhan looked at her and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, if I find out anything, I will definitely tell you."
Fang Qingyue nodded and replied, "Yes."
Because he was worried that Fang Qingyue would continue to ask questions, Shen Yuhan did not stay in the Fang family's old house after dinner, but went directly to the Inspectorate.
As soon as he left the Fang family's courtyard, a subordinate came up to him and reported, "Master, there seems to be some unusual activity in the Marquis' Mansion these past few days, and it was even more noisy today. We are of low status and cannot enter to investigate. I wonder if you would be willing to go there."
Hearing this, Shen Yuhan frowned and his expression became more serious.
"Let's go."
The group hurried to the Marquis' Mansion, where Li Junyi was furious.
Song Xiaoya knelt on the ground, covering her lower abdomen, her brows slightly furrowed, her face pale, and she looked extremely weak.
"Madam, what are you doing? I'm pregnant with Qiu Nian's child. Don't you care about the fetus in my belly?"
Hearing this, Li Junyi became furious and picked up the teacup beside her and threw it at Song Xiaoya.
She used a lot of force, but she was indeed worried about the fetus in Song Xiaoya's belly, so she didn't really hit Song Xiaoya.
The teacup hit Song Xiaoya's feet and broke into pieces.
The ricocheting porcelain shards slashed across Song Xiaoya's face, leaving a bloody mark. However, Song Xiaoya seemed not to feel it. She simply stared at Li Junyi and said, "Madam, I don't know what I did wrong to allow you to harm me like this."
"Don't you know what you did wrong?!" Li Junyi was so angry that she laughed.
After afternoon tea today, Song Xiaoya came to her room and said she had something private to tell her.
Li Junyi drove the maids and servants out of the room, but unexpectedly Song Xiaoya said that after she married Chen Qiu Nian, she would be honored as a mother because of her son.
She wanted to be Chen Qiu Nian's only wife, and she would not allow Li Junyi to take a concubine for Chen Qiu Nian. She also wanted Li Junyi to give up the right to manage the household expenses.
How is this possible?
Not to mention that Song Xiaoya's identity is unknown, she has no one to rely on in Beijing, and she is not a woman from a wealthy family.
But considering that she was pregnant before marriage and the news spread all over the city, bringing disgrace to the Shen family, and now she would be ridiculed by others whenever she went out, there was no way she would allow Song Xiaoya to be Shen Qiu Nian's legal wife.
She was so angry that she made Song Xiaoya kneel in the yard as punishment. However, Song Xiaoya acted as if she was bullied, which made her even more furious.
When Shen Qiu Nian returned to the courtyard, he saw this scene. He couldn't help but frown and knelt in front of Song Xiaoya to protect her: "Mother, what are you doing? Xiaoya is pregnant. If she gets cold while kneeling, I'm afraid it will hurt the baby in her belly."
"Even if you are angry, you should still consider her health, right?"
Li Junyi said sternly, "How dare you speak for this little bitch?"
"Do you know what she just said?"
Song Xiaoya lowered her head and shed tears, looking like she had been wronged but dared not speak. "Madam, even if I said many things wrong, you don't have to be so harsh on me."
"Shut up!" Li Junyi said angrily.
Song Xiaoya was startled, and then she covered her stomach and said hoarsely, "My stomach hurts so much... Qiu Nian, am I going to lose our child?"
Chen Qiunian grabbed Song Xiaoya's wrist with one hand and gently supported her belly with the other, with a deep frown between his brows: "Mom, even if Xiaoya really did something wrong, her fetal position is unstable now, at least you should call the court doctor to come and take a look, right?"
Shen Yuhan happened to see this scene when he stepped into the door.
There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, and he said in a cold tone, "It's time to call the court doctor to take a look."
Song Xiaoya was really good at pretending. If he hadn't known in advance that Song Xiaoya was not pregnant, he would have thought it was true.
The court doctor arrived quickly.
After simply checking Song Xiaoya's pulse, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Miss Song is experiencing excessive emotional fluctuations and an unstable fetal position. She needs to find a quiet place to rest."
Hearing this, Shen Yuhan moved his knuckles slightly.
