Chapter 559: It is indeed as the county lady said
Shen Shuyi looked directly at Shen Jingchuan and Old Madam Shen, and said in a deep voice: "My daughter has just explained it clearly to the princess. This was originally a misunderstanding."
"Yesterday, my daughter and the princess were drunk. After my daughter returned home early, the prince died unexpectedly. The princess originally misunderstood that this incident was related to my daughter. Only after she explained it clearly did she realize...it was actually my eldest sister's doing..."
"You're talking nonsense! It's all nonsense!" Qin Xuerong was supported by her maid, gasping for breath.
Although she was punished to be under house arrest, she kept an eye on Shen Shuyi's movements with silver.
She thought she was asked to leave by Princess Guining yesterday, and would hear some happy news today.
But before he could feel happy, he heard that Xiao Rui had died and Princess Guining came to visit.
When she thought about this, she knew that Princess Guining might not succeed. But since Xiao Rui was dead, Shen Shuyi would not have an easy life either. The princess would always avenge her son and seek justice.
But listen, what is Shen Shuyi saying now?
Saying that her sister Yu killed Xiao Rui is simply ridiculous!
Shen Shuyi glanced at her with a half-smile, and said worriedly: "How dare my daughter talk nonsense about such a thing? It was only when the princess was halfway through her words that the people from the princess's mansion came to her with news, which proved her innocence!"
"Shen Shuyi, do you want to listen to what you are saying? It's complete nonsense!" Qin Xuerong was so angry that she laughed.
Shen Shuyi just said: "If mother doesn't believe it, you can go to the princess's mansion to ask. I think the princess will never lie!"
Shen Jingchuan frowned and couldn't help asking, "Sister Ke Yu has been missing for a few days, how could she appear in Guining County Lord's Mansion?"
"I heard that my sister went to Guining County Lord to discuss something important, but she bumped into the prince in the mansion. The prince saw that my sister... was ugly, so he insulted her. The two of them had an argument, and my sister accidentally killed the prince..."
Shen Shuyi's eyes were heavy, and he seemed to be heartbroken about this matter.
Shen Jingchuan was originally a little worried about his daughter, thinking that she was also bewitched by the Qin family. But now when he heard that she was planning something big again, the last bit of family affection disappeared immediately.
How can this be called a conspiracy?
This is asking for death!
These ambitious idiots from the Qin family, please don’t drag the entire Shen family into this!
"I don't believe it, you're talking nonsense!" Qin Xuerong was very emotional. She never thought that facing Princess Guining, Shen Shuyi could actually escape twice and even... even dragged Yu Jie'er into the water.
Madam Shen was also a little annoyed, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, Jingchuan, why don't you send someone to Guining County Princess's Mansion to find out clearly?"
"Yes, mother."
Shen Jingchuan is now full of worries and feels that this is a turbulent time.
Shen Shuyi was not worried at all. After all, no matter how domineering Princess Guining was, she was not a fool.

On the way back home, Xiao Mengxi's face was gloomy: "What a bunch of good-for-nothings! They actually let a useless person like Shen Jingyu escape!"
Bi He's eyes were red as she consoled him: "Master, the most important thing right now is the poison in your body..."
When this was mentioned, Xiao Mengxi felt even more unwilling.
Shen Shuyi never believed in her from the beginning. While she was plotting against her, she had also been plotting against her. No wonder she was not afraid of anything!
"Catch that ghost doctor beside her. I don't believe that he can't come up with an antidote under severe torture!"
Xiao Mengxi's eyes were bloodshot and her nails dug into her flesh.
Bi He shook her head and said, "But I'm afraid that this poison is the same as the Blood Shadow Powder, there is an antidote but no medicine. Moreover, the Changning County Lady is so cunning, I'm afraid that we won't be able to find the so-called ghost doctor in such a short time."
"According to what you said, this princess must bow down to her!"
Bi He said quickly: "Master, there will be many opportunities in the future, the most important thing now is to protect yourself!"
When I walked to the teahouse, I seemed to hear someone telling a story.
Xiao Mengxi said coldly: "Go, find me the book that Shen Shuyi mentioned!"
"Yes."
Not long after, Xiao Mengxi had a storybook in her hand called "Prisoning the Golden Sparrow", signed by Shi Potianjing.
She glanced over it quickly. The story was not long, but what was written in it was simply comparing her, Princess Guining, and Xiao Rui!
The princess is extremely powerful and domineering, but she has a stupid and cruel son.
For this reason, this noble princess was so worried about her son's marriage that she did not hesitate to abduct women from the people and beat and kill slaves to satisfy her son's amusement. Her methods were cruel and she disregarded the people's will.
In the end, she actually set her sights on the daughter of a third-rank official. She set up several schemes to forcibly bring her back to her house and force her to marry her son.
The funny thing is that her plan failed, and in the end her son died at the hands of this woman. It was really karma.
Xiao Mengxi tore the script into pieces in anger: "What a great Shen Shuyi, he actually has such extraordinary abilities!"
"Go quickly, go check for me where this book came from! When did it come out!"
Xiao Mengxi thought that this thing would not spread too quickly. If it really implicated the Princess's Mansion and angered the people, her brother the Emperor would definitely hold her accountable.
But not long after, the people sent by Bihe came back.
"Master, this 'Stone-shattering' is written by a very popular novelist in Beijing recently. Several of his books have been highly sought after, so...so since this book came out this morning, everyone in the streets has been talking about it."
"What did you say?"
When Xiao Mengxi got off the car, she could see many people pointing at her and whispering about something in front of the Princess's Mansion.
Xiao Mengxi's face turned pale: "Quick, remove all the wedding items in the mansion and burn them."
Although she wanted to kill Shen Shuyi and Shen Jingyu, she didn't want to die yet...
He couldn’t allow countless people to stab him in the back after Rui’er’s death.
If the contents of this storybook are matched with those of the Princess's Mansion, Rui'er might even be removed from the family tree of the royal family, and even his tomb would be moved out.
At this moment, the people sent by Shen Jingchuan arrived at the Princess' Mansion a step late.
"Greetings, Princess. I've come here on the orders of my master to pay my respects." The visitor was Shen Jingchuan's long-time attendant. Seeing that Xiao Mengxi looked unhappy, he spoke carefully.
"What does Shen Jingchuan have to say?" Xiao Mengxi was extremely upset at this moment.
"From what the Second Miss said, the Crown Prince's death seems to be related to our First Miss? So the Master and his servant came to ask a few questions."
Xiao Mengxi narrowed her eyes: "Oh? What did the Princess of Changning say?"
The long-time attendant then repeated Shen Shuyi's words. Xiao Mengxi narrowed her eyes and felt cold all over.
Good job, Shen Shuyi!
It was truly a plan that had been meticulously planned, even the cause of Rui'er's death and Shen Jingyu's crime had been arranged.
But thinking of the storybook that was popular in Beijing, Xiao Mengxi had no choice but to agree!
She had to confirm what Shen Shuyi said. Only in this way could she draw a clear line between the County Lord's Mansion and the Princess' Mansion described in "The Prisoner of the Golden Sparrow"!
Xiao Mengxi's eyes were gloomy, and she squeezed out a few words from between her teeth: "It is indeed as the county lady said, Shen Jingyu really deserves to die!"
