"How did he escape?" Xie Yujin closed the bed curtains beside her, completely covering the figure inside.
And he himself, shrouded in darkness, asked in a low voice.
Xiao Yundao: "Shen Qing, the guard commander of the Shen family, and Wang Dequan, the leader of the Yulin Army, personally went to the Imperial City to take charge of the crime. Shen Zhengyi firmly denied it, entered the Holy Island, and agreed with the prince, claiming that he was an uninformed person. "
"Those three surviving Yulin troops, at that time, indeed only saw Shen Qing and Wang Dequan massacre the surviving Yulin troops. Witnesses and oral confessions were available. Although the emperor was very angry about this matter, there was no reason to imprison Shen again. Zhengyi, he came out of the Imperial City Division unscathed."
Shen Wan hugged the quilt and sat up.
Xie Yujin glanced sideways and saw that the woman's thin white shoulders and neck were alluring in the dim night.
He turned around and told Xiao Yun: "Step back first."
Xiao Yun quickly exited the room.
Xie Yujin returned to the bed, put her arms around Shen Yuan's shoulders, and said, "Your adoptive father is really a fox. He failed to pull him down after several officialdom fights. I'm afraid he had already planned it when he returned to the capital. Various possibilities have left a way out for both myself and the prince."
"Shen Qing is a dead man trained by the Shen family. When there is no big deal on weekdays, he puts it to good use. If something happens, he will take the blame for his master's family." Shen Wan was not discouraged.
Shen Zhengyi and the prince brought so many cannonballs and fired them all on the deserted holy island. Another massacre of soldiers by the Yulin army commander shocked the entire Shang Dynasty.
Those cannonballs cost more than half of the national treasury to buy from Nanyang. If you say you are not guilty, do you have no responsibility?
The prince is the biological son of Emperor Jinglong, so he can forgive him temporarily, but Shen Zhengyi must bear all the faults of the prince and Shen Zhengyi alone.
Although he escaped safely, he had already incurred a serious debt to Emperor Jinglong, and he would not have a good life in the court in the future.
"As for Wang Dequan..." Shen Wan's eyebrows widened with a smile: "Wang Dequan has a sister who worked hard to pull him up. The two depended on each other. Shen Zhengyi must have made a private deal with Wang Dequan. Only Wang Dequan is willing to bear the charge of beheading."
"Aning feels that Wang Dequan is willing to take all the blame and it has something to do with his sister." Xie Yujin hugged her and lay back on the bed, pulled up the quilt and wrapped her whole body in the quilt.
Shen Wan leaned on his shoulder and whispered, "Do you know where the birthmark on Shen Lian's face came from?"
"Could it be related to Wang Dequan's sister?" Xie Yujin guessed casually.
Shen Wan raised her head and looked at him: "That's really smart. Wang Dequan's sister worked as a steward in the Shen Mansion for a year. I heard that her appearance was too outstanding. Her facial features were similar to those of Mrs. Shen in her early years. Shen Zheng recruited her into the study to grind and clean. .”
"As time went by, she had other thoughts about Shen Zhengyi and climbed into Shen Zhengyi's bed. Jing Miaoyi had just become pregnant with Shen Lian at that time. She had no idea that her food was poisoned, and these poisons , by Wang Dequan’s sister Wang Yujiao.”
"The fetal poison is too deep and will eventually be transferred to the child. This is why Shen Lian seems to be less energetic than normal people and learns things half a step slower than others."
Xie Yujin sighed: "You don't have a good mind, but you can't have wishful thinking. Then you think Shen Zhengyi will connect Wang Dequan's sister to the Shen Mansion again."
"No." Shen Wan narrowed her eyes, turned sideways and hugged Xie Yujin's waist tightly, and her little hands dishonestly reached under the bed: "Shen Zhengyi didn't dare to take her back to the Shen family, but he can keep the woman in Outside, we can bring this matter to my adoptive mother."
Xie Yujin pressed the sensitive part in her hand, smiled lowly, then lifted up the quilt and entered into a new round of nibbling.
The next day, several red and purple marks were left on Shen Wan's fair skin.
Xie Yujin was a little annoyed that she went too far last night and hurt Shen Wan.
He helped her apply the medicine and asked softly: "Does it hurt? If it hurts, go and serve tea to your parents later."
"How can a bride keep her father-in-law and mother-in-law waiting for a long time on her first day?" Shen Wan raised her feet and put them on the man's shoulders: "I'm fine, doesn't being a woman have to go through a process?"
"Then do you know how to be a woman?"
"My first time doing it."
Seeing her serious answer, Xie Yujin couldn't help laughing: "So, you just said that you seem to know how to be a woman."
Shen Wan kicked him on the shoulder again.
At this time, there was a knock on the door from Mrs. Zhou. She lowered her voice and gently called the two young people inside: "Aci, Wanwan, it's me, mother."
Xie Yujin and Shen Wan glanced at each other.
He reached out and touched the red blood stain under Shen Wan: "My mother is here to collect the things."
Shen Wan's face was slightly red and her ears were slightly warm. She really wanted to be Xie Yujin's woman, and she finally got her wish to be his woman, but this was the first time after all, so she was thin-skinned.
"Then, get up." Shen Wan sat up, feeling cool and slightly aching under her body.
She glanced at the culprit in front of her: "You help me get dressed."
"Okay, little lady." Xie Yujin carried Shen Wan off the bed, dressed her and tied her belt.
Then he arranged his clothes again and then put Mrs. Zhou in.
"Mother." Xie Yujin and Shen Wan called in unison.
Mrs. Zhou put on a big smile and said, "Mom is just here to pack things, and then leave. If Wanwan is still tired, there is no need to come over to serve tea today. Your father doesn't like to drink tea."
The Duke of Zhen, who had been sitting in the hall waiting for a long time, suddenly sneezed, picked up the hot tea beside him and took a few sips.
Shen Wan knew Zhou's kindness and generosity, and Zhen Guogong's casualness and freedom. They were never bound by family etiquette and did not pay attention to these etiquette.
Because when Zhou married into Zhenguo's palace, her father-in-law and mother-in-law were no longer there. She once said that she didn't know what other people's parents-in-law were like, but she just hoped that her son and daughter-in-law would be harmonious and happy.
Holding the sheets in her arms, Mrs. Zhou walked up to Shen Wan and said softly, "This mother will put them away for you."
She glanced at the red mark on Shen Yuan's neck, her smile became more loving, and she quickly walked out of Miao Xuan Pavilion.
Shen Wan patted her hot face.
Xie Yujin came closer to her: "Daughter-in-law, are you blushing?"
"Mom is so good to me..." As soon as Shen Wan finished speaking, there was a knock on the door from Nanny Song.
Xie Yujin quickly crawled back to the bed, looking sick and leaning against the bed.
After a while, Nanny Song walked into the room with Hua Rong, Hua Xi, and the newly purchased maids Ban Yan and Dai Yu from Miao Xuan Pavilion, and helped Shen Wan dress and do her hair.
During this period, Nanny Song glanced at Xie Yujin from time to time, her brows furrowed.
There was such a big commotion last night, why didn't Mr. Xie die on the body of the eldest lady...
