Chapter 500: I'm Not Happy

Concubine Li originally wanted to give Shen Shuyi a warning and vent her anger for her brother who died in vain, but unexpectedly, she gained nothing and was instead caught in a weak spot by Shen Shuyi.

Thinking of the two silver ingots that Shen Shuyi took out, Concubine Li also felt uneasy.

Recently, His Majesty has been thoroughly investigating the matter of official silver for flood relief in Jiangnan. The situation is already tense. How could Shen Shuyi have the forged official silver for flood relief in his hands?

Concubine Li sat in the palace, feeling choked up.

You know, most of the official silver used for disaster relief was exchanged through Licheng, and most of the counterfeit official silver was controlled by their Chai family.

If His Majesty really finds out something, the Chai family will definitely not be able to escape responsibility.

Concubine Li was feeling upset and couldn't help but put her hand on her belly.

If something really happened, it was unknown whether this unborn child could save the Chai family's lives.

No... nothing will happen...

At this moment, Zhang Zhuo, the eunuch who was close to Concubine Li, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, there is a maid outside the door who claims to be the maidservant of Princess Changning. She asked me to give this token to you."

Lipin took the token and looked at it, then stood up from the table.

Does she know how Bindi died?

Concubine Li's throat tightened. From the time the Chai family received Chai Bin's head until now, her brother's body had not been found.

Shen Shuyi actually has his badge? It seems that her brother's death is related to her!

Concubine Li looked at the badge carefully and was sure that it belonged to Chai Bin!

On the day of the accident, although my brother was sent by the Third Prince to assassinate Shen Shuyi and Xie Jingchi, he was always conceited and would never think that he would die.

The Imperial Guards' unique waist badge was naturally worn on their bodies...

Lipin turned over the badge and saw that there was a chip on one corner of it. Her heart sank even more. It was definitely Chai Bin's. She remembered that there was a slight damage on this spot on his badge.

"What else did she say?"

The young eunuch Zhang Zhuo shook his head and said, "It is said that the Princess of Changning County may know the answer you want to know."

Lipin narrowed her eyes and clenched the badge in her hand.

"Go and invite Princess Changning to sit in my palace!"

"Yes."

On the other side, Shen Shuyi returned to the palace with a few maids. When they reached the courtyard, they saw Sun Yahui wearing a thick cloak, standing under a tree in the courtyard watching the snow.

Perhaps because she had stayed there too long, her face had turned pale.

Seeing Shen Shuyi, Sun Yahui paused and took the initiative to greet: "Greetings, County Lady."

"The weather is very cold, and Sister Sun is weak. It's better for her to rest more in her room." Shen Shuyi glanced at her lips which were almost bloodless.

Sun Yahui felt warm in her heart, but also ashamed.

Last time he had an allergic attack at the Shen family, he was fortunately saved by Shen Shuyi. However, because he had had a lot of dealings with Shen Jingyu and Shen Jingzhen before and had a good relationship with them, he always had a prejudice against Shen Shuyi.

But now, seeing that Shen Jingyu and Shen Jingzhen had fallen out, and the county lady had let bygones be bygones and taken extra care of her, she just felt extremely embarrassed.

"Thank you for your concern, Princess. It's just... the room is not quiet... it's really not very convenient." Sun Yahui sighed.

She originally wanted to go to her mother or grandmother's house to find some quiet time, but firstly, the courtyard was far away, and secondly, there were other women in their room, so it was already crowded and it was not appropriate for her to go there.

As if seeing her embarrassment, Shen Shuyi said gently: "I am not here often during the day. If Sister Sun doesn't mind, you can come over and sit for a while."

Without thinking, Shen Shuyi knew that Shen Jingyu and Shen Jingzhen must be having a big fight.

It is indeed not appropriate for Sun Yahui to be caught in the middle.

Sun Yahui was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Shen Shuyi to be so friendly, and immediately said: "Thank you, County Lord."

Shen Shuyi nodded and said nothing more.

After Shen Shuyi returned to his room, he started to have lunch soon.

As soon as the food was served, Concubine Li sent a young eunuch over.

"Greetings to the Princess Changning, our Concubine Li invites you to stay in Lihua Palace."

After Zhang Zhuo finished speaking, he waited for a long time but received no reply. He couldn't help but look up and secretly took a look at Shen Shuyi's expression.

Shen Shuyi said calmly: "I understand. I'll go there after lunch."

"Yes."

Zhang Zhuo thought about it, but didn't say anything.

After Lipin's people left, Shen Shuyi was not in a hurry. She looked at Qin Xin and said, "Go find Tong Guan. After he recovers from his illness, find a way to sneak into Lihua Palace."

"Yes."

Shen Shuyi took a long time to finish the meal, which made Lipin of Lihua Palace very angry.

It was not until 1 p.m. that Shen Shuyi and his men appeared in Lihua Palace.

Lipin looked at Shen Shuyi coldly and said slowly, "The county lady is so arrogant that she made me wait for so long."

Shen Shuyi said respectfully: "I dare not disturb your majesty's nap, so I am a little late."

Lipin sneered: "Zhang Zhuo, didn't you tell the county lady that I had something urgent to see her about?"

Zhang Zhuo immediately knelt on the ground and said, "It was my negligence! I deserve death, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Lipin was very angry: "Get out of here, you idiot!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Be careful of getting a miscarriage." Shen Shuyi said considerately.

"Everyone, step back and guard the door." Concubine Li didn't waste any words and only left two trusted confidants by her side.

Shen Shuyi also said: "Jinzhu stays here, and you guys go out first."

Lipin took a glance and recognized that it was the maid she had slapped, but she didn't take it to heart.

"Where did the county lord's token come from?"

Shen Shuyi raised her lips and said, "Of course it was given to me by Lord Chai himself."

Lipin sneered: "Are you kidding, County Lady? My brother has no feelings for you, but I don't know why he gave this token to you."

Shen Shuyi did not answer her question, but looked at Lipin with a smile: "Not only do I have the token handed over by Lord Chai himself, but I also know clearly how Lord Chai died?"

"Shen Shuyi, what do you want to say?" Concubine Li was really fed up with the feeling of being led by the nose.

Shen Shuyi smiled and looked at Lipin: "I think Your Majesty knows where those two ingots of silver came from."

Concubine Li pursed her lips and stared at Shen Shuyi coldly.

Shen Shuyi's eyes were clear and he neither avoided nor gave way. The silver was brought back by Jiang Li from Licheng.

Licheng and Jiangnan areas are mostly controlled by Xiao Heyu, so it is not easy for Jiang Li to secretly investigate the falsification of official silver for disaster relief.

Apart from anything else, Jiang Li also brought back a lot of the silver that Xie Jingchi had.

The heavy silver ingot was replaced with an iron lump of equal weight.

It's easy to change fifty taels into ten taels.

Lipin stared at Shen Shuyi for a long while, then suddenly relaxed. She had someone serve Shen Shuyi tea and said slowly, "Does the county lady really know the cause of my brother's death?"

"Of course." Shen Shuyi said firmly.

"Since the princess has sent a badge to me, I think she doesn't intend to keep it secret. Tell me, what do I need the princess to tell me everything?" At this moment, Lipin's tense nerves seemed to suddenly relax.

Shen Shuyi's eyelashes were long, and her almond-shaped eyes were slightly raised, with a clear and cold look in her eyes: "Ever since the queen beat my servant, I have always been unhappy. And if I am unhappy, I can't bear to see others happy."

Lipin was stunned for a moment and thought Shen Shuyi was ridiculous.

She went to so much trouble just to seek justice for a maid!
