Princess Anguo was furious when she saw her face as if she was facing a formidable enemy, "Are you starting to dislike me just like your heartless father?

You have all been brainwashed by Shen Nanzhi and think she is a good person. As the mistress of the house who takes care of your food, drink, defecation and urination, how come I have become the bad person?

You all have no conscience, what's the point of keeping you?"

Shen Kening couldn't help but ask, "Look at you now. What else can you do besides scolding people? Dad could have known Sister Nan Zhi, but you ruined it. Now that you are in control of the whole family, are you happy?"

Princess Anguo was in disbelief, and was filled with grief: "Who am I disowning her for? Isn't it for you? She was the eldest daughter when she came into the family, and she robbed the family's property. Your father wanted to give her a generous dowry, but aren't these all your things?

Anyone can blame me, you are my biological daughter, you can't, you are stabbing me in the heart!"

Shen Kening regretted what she said, tears rolling down her cheeks: "Then what do you want me to do? Sister Nan Zhi saved my life. Without her, I would be dead now. You should think about what I want for my own good."

After saying that, she ran away crying, and she couldn't stand staying in this home anymore.

When Duke Shen came back and saw his daughter running away crying, his face darkened: "Who bullied the young lady?"

The servants reported carefully: "He had a quarrel with the princess."

"Another quarrel? Will she be satisfied only when she makes the whole family restless?"

Duke Shen's face darkened. His originally happy mood instantly fell to the bottom. He couldn't live like this anymore and turned around to leave.

"Stop, where are you going? Is there no room for you at home?"

Lord Shen said, "I don't want to argue with you. If you can't afford to offend me, can't I just hide away?"

"Did I ask you to hide? Why are you hiding from me? Don't you even want to look at me now?"

"I didn't say that. It's all your imagination. Don't go crazy."

"I'm going crazy..."

The quarrel had not yet ended when Princess Anguo noticed that the chief steward of her mother's family, the Shanye Palace, came in hurriedly. She had a bad feeling in her heart: "Meng Bo, why are you here?"

"Princess, something bad has happened. The prince has been invited to have tea by the Imperial City Department. The prince is anxious. Please think of a way. Can you ask the Regent Princess for mercy? We can discuss anything."

Duke Shen didn't leave either. After all, he was his father-in-law and they usually got along well. He asked, "Why?"

"This one……"

Butler Meng's eyes flickered. Every family has some shameful things to do. It just depends on whether anyone is investigating. The Regent Princess just started with the Minister of Revenue, and the next one is his family. He didn't need to think about it to guess why.

Princess Anguo was furious: "She actually attacked my father. What does she want to do? I'm going to settle the score with her!"

"Shut up. If you want your father-in-law to be well, calm down. Can throwing a tantrum solve the problem? Haven't you learned enough of your lesson?"

Duke Shen scolded her. For the first time, he felt that this woman was so brainless. The more you act like a spoiled child, the more dangerous your father-in-law will be. Nan Zhi is not a good-tempered child.

She didn't deal with An Guo directly, not because she was kind, but because she wanted to make An Guo suffer and cut her flesh bit by bit.

As expected of her, she is his daughter, cunning, sinister and cruel!

Duke Shen was in a complicated mood and said, "I will go get some information first. Don't act rashly. If you don't listen to me, don't blame me for standing idly by. I, Shen Yanxiu, will keep my word."

After warning her, Duke Shen went to the Imperial City Office to inquire about the news.

Princess Anguo was extremely confused and finally felt afraid. She also realized that Shen Nanzhi now had such great power that he could easily control her life and death.

The trusted nanny advised: "Princess, you have been very abnormal recently. Your temper is too bad. Why don't you ask the imperial physician to take a look?"

"Why would I care about my own health now? She wants to attack my father and brothers!"

"She is forcing you to apologize. Why don't you just..."

"You'd better kill me than let me apologize!"

The nanny didn't know what to say. What people fear most is not death, but not being able to die.

Even if she died, the Shanye Palace would still not be better off. Without her to beg Duke Shen, he would not care about the palace anymore.

……

Shen Nanzhi's second anger was indeed directed at Princess Anguo. She had come to cause trouble many times, and the palace was almost like her back garden. Shen Nanzhi didn't have time before, and now he was in a bad mood, so naturally he had to find someone to vent his anger on.

The Prince Shanye's palace is not clean at all. A casual investigation will reveal a lot of shit. It seems that these wealthy and noble families in the capital need to be rectified?

Who's next?

Shen Nanzhi was still selecting when the servant reported, "Old Prince Zhengxian from the Imperial Clan House wants to see the princess."

"Oh, my lord, please come in."

According to seniority, she has to call this prince her uncle. This man has a high seniority and a good temper, and has always been highly valued by the late emperor.

Qi Yunxu also respected the old prince very much. The fact that he was given the title of Wise King showed how high his status was in the royal family.

Shen Nanzhi waited outside the door and personally greeted the virtuous king, kneeling and saluting: "Meeting uncle, if you have something to ask, just call me over. How can I let you come to me in person? It would be unfilial of the younger generation."

The wise king was very pleased with Shen Nanzhi's humble attitude. She was a good kid. Why were there such bad rumors about her?

As expected, one cannot believe rumors, so he quickly gave her a false support: "Princess, please stand up. You are now the regent princess and the regent of the country. Your status is not ordinary, so I dare not treat you with such a big gift."

"Your Majesty, you are too polite. We are in our own palace. We are not talking about government affairs. We are just hanging out as a family. Please come in."

"Well, we are a family."

The virtuous king felt a little guilty. What An Guo did was really unkind. If he had been generous enough to take such a good girl home, it would only be a matter of a dowry. He could also gain a reputation for being virtuous and generous and win the child's favor.

Now, I have to go against her and implicate Prince Shanye's Palace, right?

After drinking tea, Shen Nanzhi asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"I think you can guess what King Shanye has done wrong. You asked him to go to the Imperial City Department. Isn't that a bit serious?"

Shen Nanzhi took out the investigation materials and said, "He has committed many crimes. It's better now that he's older. When he was young, he killed people. Do you think I can let this matter go?"

It turned out that when King Shanye was young, he worked in the Ministry of Works and went to the local area to supervise river repairs. He accepted bribes from local officials. As a result, that year there was a once-in-a-century flood, causing countless deaths and injuries. It can be said that it was closely related to him.

It was also because of that incident that the late emperor made trouble for him and directly sent him to the cold palace and never employed him again, making him an idle prince.

If it weren't for the past friendship, and his concealment of the truth and shielding of local officials, the late emperor would have executed him outright.

This is just one of the things. He was not at peace in the capital either. He forced a maid to death and abused his concubines. He seemed a little mentally abnormal. He acted like a good guy to outsiders but was a tyrant at home, which made Shen Nanzhi shake his head.
