Song of Peach Blossoms: Alluring Princess

Chapter 197

Shen Yu was still grounded at home, but he received the emperor's oral order that he would be reinstated as an official today.The first task I received after my reinstatement was to investigate what happened this time.

Jiang Chenzhi, who was injured all over his back, was quickly defeated, followed up and went back to the house for treatment and changing clothes. Prime Minister Jiang restrained his anger and welcomed Shen Yu into the house.

"I heard that you want Chen Zhi to go to the smashed silk and satin village to take the blame?"

"Yes, but obviously others don't want to give him this opportunity to admit his mistake."

Shen Yu also applauded Su Tiange's move in his heart. If she accepts other people's pleadings, she will be convinced of the rumors that are killing people, and she will not be able to open a shop in the capital in the future.

Shen Yu put away the admiration revealed between his brows, straightened his face and said: "The key to this matter is not whether Chen Zhiqu will admit his mistake, the meaning of His Majesty's ordering the subordinate officials is to investigate the death of that nanny."

"Didn't she commit suicide?" Prime Minister Jiang looked at Shen Yu suspiciously.

"Does your lord really think she will commit suicide?" Shen Yu looked at Prime Minister Jiang, and the two smiled tacitly.Shen Yu stood up, "If it's convenient for your lord, I want to go to the servant's room to have a look."

"It's convenient, I'll let everyone come out immediately." Prime Minister Jiang asked the housekeeper to handle the matter, and Shen Yu followed to the nanny's room. Prime Minister Jiang stood at the second door and looked at the inner and outer corridors, his eyes deep in thought.

"Master, I heard that Yu'er is here, where is it?" Mrs. Jiang walked over from the second gate and met Prime Minister Jiang.

"He came to investigate the case, and now he has gone to the servant's room."

"Investigate the case? Did someone commit a crime?"

Prime Minister Jiang raised his forehead, "It's all right." His previous ideal was to be well-off when he was a little rich, so he never felt that there was anything wrong with his wife's simple and indifferent personality.But his younger sister actually entered the palace and gave birth to the prince. The fate of the whole family depended on this prince, so he had no choice but to seek his own life in the officialdom.He used to be able to pretend to be confused and turn a blind eye in Sucheng, but now he is a bit powerless when he comes to the capital, which is the den of dragons and tigers.

There are too many eyes staring behind him, and he may be attacked if he is not careful, but his wife is still so indifferent to world affairs, it is a bit too much for him to have a headache.

"The servants we brought over from Suzhou City must be taken care of. Don't let this kind of thing happen again. In the future, whenever the family goes out to do errands or has any human relations, you have to ask Steward Jiang."

"I just want to prepare two sets of new clothes for Chen Zhi." Mrs. Jiang also heard a hint of implication.

Alas, Prime Minister Jiang sighed and turned away. Is it lucky or unlucky to have a wife?

The autopsy records made by Zheng Yu have made it very clear that no matter judging from the body or the situation in the house, the death of the old nanny is too much like hanging herself.

Shen Yu went around the house and found nothing obvious, because the status of the old mother in Jiangfu is quite special, so she lives in a room by herself, and the window faces the garden at the back, and it is unique to have a clump of red flowers .

Shen Yu walked to the window, stretched out his hand to open the pane, and a bright yellow piece of cloth was exposed in a frame next to the window. He pulled out the piece of cloth and came out with a piece of baby clothes, which was only one sleeve away from completion.

"Go and ask, does the old mother have any relatives in the capital! Has there been a new child in the family?" Lincang should go down to ask someone.

Shen Yu took the cloth material and compared it to the light. The best material was used to make children's clothes, which shows that this child is very important to her.

"My lord, none of the servants in the mansion have heard the deceased mention that she has relatives in the capital, but it is said that her elder sister is also Mr. Jiang's wet nurse. She left the Jiang manor and came to the capital with her husband's family in the early years, but she doesn't know where she lives. "

That's it, Shen Yu put down his clothes and said: "Find this family and follow up to check, to see if there is anything unusual in the family recently."

Coming out of the servant's room, Shen Yu originally wanted to visit his aunt, but then he thought about the business today, so it would be inconvenient to come back another day.

When he came out from the second gate, Mrs. Jiang led people to block the corridor, and she was very happy to see him.

"Yu'er, don't leave today. I haven't been here for a long time. When I come, I will eat before leaving. I have asked the cook to prepare the meals, and I will have a meal with my aunt before leaving."

Shen Yu looked at Mrs. Jiang and saw that she couldn't refuse aloud, so she agreed.

Mrs. Jiang smiled happily and said: "That boy Chenzhi has been punished and is about to be given medicine by the doctor. He will have no luck later."

Shen Yu followed Mrs. Jiang to the dining room, and he could vaguely make out the shadow of his mother from Mrs. Jiang's face. His mother's distressed and haggard face constituted his last memory of her.

Shen Yu frowned, he couldn't think of these things, every time at the end, he hated those people in that family, hated his father for being ruthless and indifferent and hated them for taking over the magpie's nest.

"Yu'er, I remember you used to love eating this, why don't you move your chopsticks today?"

Shen Yu was stunned for a moment and smiled and picked up some dishes. Prime Minister Jiang glanced at him and asked, "If you live outside alone, you should pay attention to your health. I think your complexion is not very good. Is your headache still not healed? Didn't you look for it in Sucheng? Did the Fang family buy a half-life lotus? Is it useless?"

"It's useful. Divine doctor Xue has been watching it for me all the time. There's nothing wrong with it."

"Yu'er, I can't say anything if you're angry with your father, but it's time for you to start a family. I'm relieved to marry a caring person to take care of you." Mrs. Jiang wiped her tears and said, " A few days ago, I sorted out old things and found a few letters your mother wrote to me, which mentioned something, I wanted to find a time to tell you, today just happened to happen."

Mrs. Jiang took out a yellowed letter from her sleeve and handed it over. Shen Yu took it, and the envelope was indeed mother's handwriting.Letter too.

The carriage walked quietly on the street, rattling, the street that was usually noisy was actually very quiet at this time.Shen Yu closed his eyes and interlocked his fingers. The car bumped a bit, and he opened his eyes.

The letter in his sleeve was an accident, so unexpected that he couldn't accept it.In the letter, his mother said that she had made a marriage for him, and that the other party was in Yangcheng.He also said that she had accepted someone's token, and the other party had also left her token. His father knew about this marriage and acquiesced.

He actually has a marriage contract and a fiancée he has never seen before?What's even more ridiculous is that his father knew about this marriage but still tried to make him marry the Chen family.

Shen Yu tapped the armor on his little finger, he already had Tiange in his heart and couldn't pretend to be someone else.So he wants to find this family, and he hasn't seen her come to the capital to look for him for so many years, so he probably doesn't take this matter seriously or that girl is already married, which can't be better.If not, return her token and return this relative.

"My lord, the road ahead is blocked, we have to turn around to go back to the yamen."

"Turn around." Shen Yu let out a breath and lifted the curtain, the carriage bumped into something.He lowered the curtain and asked, "What happened?"

"My lord, the car has crashed." Lin Cang jumped off the shaft and glanced at the emblem on the other party's carriage. The Chen family looked at the regulation of the carriage, it should be Chen Ge's hometown.

Shen Yu pulled up the curtain and came out. The right rear of the carriage collided with an oncoming car, and there was nothing serious except that two pieces of wood were rubbed off.

"Master Shen." Chen Xunfang just stepped out of the carriage, looked at Shen Yu with a smile and was blessed.
