After the princess was reborn, she kissed the ruthless kidnapper

Chapter 160 "Your Highness is saying... that you are supporting students in the name of academi

After Yan Lan left, Bai Zhi went inside to report.

"Your Highness, Ye Ling sent her back."

Shen Changle closed his eyes and nodded slightly.

"Ah."

Seeing that she was hesitant to leave and seemed to want to say something, Shen Changle opened his eyes.

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Yes, Your Highness...I am just worried. What if everything she just did was a disguise and she goes back and informs Prime Minister Wen?"

"will not."

She answered confidently and with full assurance.

Because she remembered that in her previous life, Yan Zijing killed Wen Zhixue, and after the truth came to light...

Yan Lan knew that Wen Zhixue was the murderer of her entire family, and she hit her head against a pillar and died on the spot!

This shows that she is very hard-headed and is not someone who would commit herself to her enemies.

"Besides, even if Wen Zhixue knew that I was investigating him, it wouldn't matter. He wouldn't dare rebel. Even if the evidence was destroyed, he would have no choice but to reconcile with the emperor's uncle and each side would take a step back."

Upon hearing this, Baizhi said no more and nodded to withdraw the greeting.

"Your Highness is very thoughtful. It is I who worry too much."

"Well, go down, I'm tired."

She needs to take good care of herself.

Tomorrow... there is still a tough battle to fight!

Shen Changle slept all afternoon, drank some soup in the evening, and then fell asleep again.

Get enough rest.

Early the next morning, she summoned Prime Minister Wen's wife, Madam Wen, to the palace.

Mrs. Wen knew that the situation in the court was serious, but she could not refuse the princess's summons.

Even if someone is sick, they will be brought in on a stretcher.

Mrs. Wen came to Zhuyuexuan under the guidance of the waiter.

He knelt down to greet her who was leaning against the head of the bed.

"Your Highness the Princess."

"Excuse me, Baizhi, and please take a seat."

She smiled so tenderly that it was impossible to tell what she was thinking or intending.

Mrs. Wen was originally terrified, considering the recent confrontation between the Prime Minister and the Regent...

She was really afraid that Her Royal Highness the Princess was speaking up on behalf of the Regent!

If she is detained in the Regent's Palace, won't she cause trouble for academic research?

But, luckily.

Judging from the Princess's attitude, she probably won't use violence against her...

She breathed a sigh of relief.

After sitting down, he smiled politely:

"Her Royal Highness was assassinated, and I should have come to visit her. However... the palace has strict regulations, and the several times I sent her visiting cards, they were all returned."

Shen Changle smiled, his face still gentle.

"I was assassinated, and my brother was furious. My uncle was inevitably cautious, so he declined all visits. This was not directed at Madam Wen, so please don't blame me."

Hearing Shen Changle say this, Mrs. Wen hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"My wife dare not."

Throughout history, subjects have always been servile and fearful to the royal family.

How could the royal family have the right to apologize to their subjects?

Isn't this setting a trap for her? Will they accuse her of committing treason and make her lose her head?

Seeing her stand up nervously again, Shen Changle smiled and comforted her softly, trying to get closer to her.

"Madam Wen, there's no need to be so reserved. I remember that Madam Wen is the only daughter of the Marquis of Yong'an, and the Marquis of Yong'an is the Queen Mother's aunt...

So, I should call you Aunt."

Seeing that she was just being polite, Mrs. Wen didn't dare to say a word.

I always feel that there is a monster hidden under her gentle and sweet smile.

The uneasy feeling I had before entering the door returned.

"My wife is terrified."

"Aunt, please take a seat. I summoned you here today because I heard that you are an expert in embroidery in the capital, and I would like to ask you for some advice on embroidery patterns.

Also...I recently heard a funny story and wanted to discuss it with my aunt."

Mrs. Wen knew that she was finally getting to the point.

With a heavy heart, Fu Fu sat on the edge of the chair.

"I wonder what jokes Your Highness...heard? I am all ears."

Shen Changle turned his head and withdrew his gaze.

Slowly speaking:

"It is said that there was a high-ranking official in the capital who lived a life of integrity, was known for his kindness, and loved his wife dearly, never taking a concubine..."

High-ranking official, honest, loving wife...

This is not...

Isn’t this what academic research is all about?

But she had more or less guessed this!

If it had nothing to do with her, she wouldn't have been summoned.

He suppressed his emotions and listened to her.

“However, recently it was discovered that a poor student whom this high-ranking official had sponsored for many years was actually a plump lady;

The funds for the several orphanages he had set up were inconsistent, so a curious person secretly investigated and discovered...

It turned out that all the money that was not matched had flowed into a property, and the owner of that property was none other than that wealthy lady."

Mrs. Wen was very surprised.

"Your Highness, are you saying... Zhi, that high-ranking official is supporting a mistress under the guise of financially supporting students?"

Seeing that she understood, Shen Changle shook his head slightly.

"Not only that, the curious have also discovered that the lady owns several manors, several shops, and hundreds of acres of fertile land..."

"This is impossible!"

She was a little emotional, and then she knelt down to apologize.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I...I have lost my composure."

Shen Changle smiled tolerantly and didn't take it seriously.

"Auntie, why are you kneeling again? Please stand up quickly... But these are just rumors, so please just treat them as a joke."

Having said that, how could she not take it to heart?

I never thought about it this way before, but now I think there are indeed clues...

For example, he often said he was drinking with someone, but he couldn't tell who it was;

He said he would stay overnight in the palace, but there was no record of it in the palace record room;

And as for the money, the public funds were always mismatched, and when asked, they said that they were used to subsidize the Yugutang!

She was grateful for his kindness and felt sorry for the children.

She would rather tighten her and Ze'er's belt than not give him the money!

but……

Could it be that for so many years, she had been accompanying him through hard times, while he was helping other women buy real estate and land?

She doesn't believe it!

Shen Changle saw her kneeling on the ground and reluctant to get up.

He raised his eyes and signaled Baizhi to help the man up.

"What's wrong with Aunt? Why does she look so distracted?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I...have caught a cold and am not fully recovered yet."

"Then Auntie, please pay more attention to rest..."

Shen Changle pretended to be worried, but he had a plan in mind.

Seeing Mrs. Wen's expression, I knew that she was already suspicious.

This is exactly the effect Shen Changle wants!

What we want is for Mrs. Wen to check it herself!

As long as she can find Yan Lan, someone will soon help her find out about the Yan family's past...

She hid her plan in her heart, called Mrs. Wen over in a gentle voice, and pretended to ask about the embroidery pattern.

"Look, Auntie, it's this part I can't embroider properly! It's this pair of... 'swallows'."

She paused deliberately and kept emphasizing "swallow".

Make a deep impression on her.

That way, when she finds out about the Yan family murder, she will remember her...

Realize that the royal family has found out about these things!

Only when she had lost faith and hope in her husband would she beg for mercy for the sake of her two children.

By then, as long as she uses both kindness and force...

Promise her that her crimes will not affect her children, and you won’t be afraid that she won’t come to join us!
