After being read, the abstinent prince bullies others with his wife every day

Lin Shuning paused, then smiled and said, "Your Highness Prince Rui, when will you give me this 1,200 taels of silver?"

"I'll give it to you when this matter is over." Jiang Yu smiled faintly.

"That's good." Lin Shuning was not worried that he would go back on his word. After all, Jiang Yu was relying on her to detoxify him.

At least during this period of time, she could make a lot of money from him. Oh no, several times.

Thinking of this, Lin Shuning's mood couldn't help but improve. She opened the curtains, letting the breeze brush across her cheeks, with a look of enjoyment on her face.

Jiang Yu didn't say anything else, but closed his eyes and began to take a nap.

The place they were going to was in a county close to the capital, called Zizhou. This place was close to the mountains, the scenery was extremely beautiful, and the air was exceptionally fresh. The villagers all lived by the mountains, and from time to time you could see villagers singing folk songs as they carried baskets on their backs and prepared to go up the mountains.

Lin Shuning leaned on the windowsill and watched for a long time before she retracted her head in disappointment. Her gaze fell on Jiang Yu, who was resting with his eyes closed, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

This man was truly a creation favored by the gods, with the most exquisite face in the world.

His long eyelashes formed a graceful arc under his eyes, and his pale jade face became moist and shiny under the sunlight that leaked in, making his eyebrows and hair look even darker and his lips even brighter, dazzling his eyes.

Even though she sees him every day these days, Lin Shuning is still attracted by his appearance from time to time.

What an infinitely stunning man...

Just as Lin Shuning was sighing inwardly, the lonely figure under the man's eyelashes moved slightly, the corners of his lips curled up, and he opened his eyes with a slight smile.

Someone who was secretly peeping and almost drooling, was caught off guard and fell into the glass eyes that were as bright as the ink sea.

The silence was deafening.

Lin Shuning hurriedly looked away, secretly resentful of himself for being useless with his heart beating like a drum. No, it's just a look, there's nothing to feel guilty about.

She said awkwardly: "I..."

Just as he said a word, Chen Zhao's voice came from outside: "Master, Third Miss, we are here."

Lin Shuning seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and jumped out of the car again like a cat. She breathed in big gulps of fresh air, feeling as if she was about to suffocate.

Jiang Yu got off the carriage from behind her, glanced at Lin Shuning who had her back to him, and said, "Go in."

Lin Shuning came to his senses and followed him.

The deceased official was Liu Tianguang, the magistrate of Zizhou County. His mansion was not big, but it housed a lot of people. Ever since they entered the house, they kept seeing servants coming and going and children running around and playing. The three of them couldn't help but frown.

This workload seems a bit too much.

Lin Shuning looked straight ahead and said seriously, "There are too many people. We have to pay more."

"allow."

This light word seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, weighing down Chen Zhao's heart.

He once again glanced at his graceful, dignified, elegant, and noble master with a resentful look, and pursed his lips tightly.

Lin Shuning raised the corners of her lips. She hadn't said how much extra money she would pay yet. Once the deal was done, she would ask for a huge amount, and by then it would be too late for Jiang Yu to regret it.

Lin Shuning is feeling very happy now, his eyes are sparkling, his waist and legs are not sore anymore, and he is more energetic in investigating the case.

If she continues like this, she will become rich soon and her life will be more promising.

When the housekeeper of the county magistrate's mansion saw Jiang Yu, he hurried in to report. Soon, a courtyard of women and children came out in a mighty procession. The person leading the way was Liu Tianguang's legal wife, Madam Liu. They all knelt down with respect and said in unison, "Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Rui."

"Get up." Jiang Yu put his hands behind his back and spoke in a dull tone.

Madam Liu straightened up, her eyes reddened. "Your Highness Prince Rui, my master would never embezzle military pay. Has this matter been investigated? When can he be released? My master is old, I'm really afraid he can't stand the coldness of the dungeon..."

After saying that, she wiped the corners of her eyes and looked at Jiang Yu expectantly.

Chen Zhao took a few steps forward and said in a cold voice: "Liu County Magistrate is dead, poisoned to death, my prince came here today to investigate this matter.

The murderer is among you. If you confess now, our prince will show leniency. If you wait until you are caught, you will be tortured."

"What did you say?! The master is dead?!"

Madam Liu was slightly startled, her face full of disbelief, then her eyes rolled back and she fainted. If the maid next to her had not quickly caught her, she would have fallen to the ground.

The elegantly dressed women standing beside Madam Liu couldn't help but show sad expressions on their faces and wiped their tears with handkerchiefs.

For a moment, there was a continuous sound of sobbing, and the whole yard was shrouded in a sad atmosphere.

Lin Shuning carefully observed the facial expressions of these concubines, and finally fixed his eyes on a pretty woman in a purple dress.

The other concubines were all crying their hearts out, but she alone had a cold expression on her face, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she was suppressing her laughter.

"You must be the Fourth Aunt. I want to ask you, County Magistrate Liu is dead, aren't you sad at all?" Lin Shuning walked forward a few steps and said to the Fourth Aunt.

"Sad?" The fourth concubine sneered, with an extremely happy expression on her face: "Why should I be sad? He forced me to marry him a few months ago despite my unwillingness. This is the retribution for being such a scumbag! I only hate that he didn't die earlier!"

At the end of her words, she gritted her teeth and laughed out loud, and as she laughed, tears actually flowed out.

When Lin Shuning heard this, a bitter feeling welled up in her heart. She turned her head to look at Jiang Yu and was about to speak when Madam Liu, who had fainted, woke up.

She glared at the Fourth Aunt, stepped forward and tore her mouth, saying like a madman: "You bitch, the master treated you well when he was alive, and you actually cursed him like this, I will beat you to death, you bitch!"

The Fourth Aunt sneered and started to fight with Madam Liu without any courtesy. Maybe it was because she was young, Madam Liu not only did not get any good result from her, but was also caught badly. She looked miserable and her face was covered with deep and shallow blood marks.

"Stop it!" Chen Zhao shouted coldly, "His Royal Highness Prince Rui is still here. How can you make such a fuss?!"

Madam Liu collapsed to the ground, her face full of tears. She wailed and stepped forward to grab Jiang Yu's trouser legs: "Your Highness Prince Rui, you must help my master! It must be this bitch, it must be the Fourth Aunt who poisoned her, you can take her away and make my master pay for his life!"

Jiang Yu's brows were cold and he avoided the attack calmly. He glanced at Madam Liu who fell to the ground after missing the attack, pursed his lips and said nothing.

"Fourth Aunt, tell me yourself, were you the one who poisoned her?" Chen Zhao asked in a deep voice.

"I actually hoped that it was me, but unfortunately it wasn't," Fourth Aunt's delicate face was filled with hatred, "If it was me, why would I have dragged it on until now? It's true that I hate him, but I don't intend to ruin my life for such a scumbag."

"But..." Fourth Aunt changed the subject, "I can provide you with some clues, but I have one condition. I want His Royal Highness Prince Rui to allow me to leave the Liu family with a clean identity."

Lin Shuning frowned. Although she felt very sympathetic towards the Fourth Aunt, it would be too much to ask for this condition at this moment.

Not to mention that this corruption case involves many people. Before it is completely solved, the people involved cannot leave the mansion. What's more, even if there are no clues, she believes that she can find the real culprit.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard Jiang Yu's deep voice: "If the clues you provide are useful, I will agree to your condition."

The fourth concubine was delighted and quickly knelt down to thank him: "Thank you, Your Highness Prince Rui..."

When she uttered the last word, her voice was already choked with sobs, and her body trembled slightly as if she was suppressing her emotions. After a moment, she raised her eyes again and said, "Not long ago, I happened to see Third Aunt and a strange man meeting several times in the back hill of the ancestral hall, and the two of them even exchanged something..."

She turned her head and her eyes fell on a woman who was dressed simply, holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand and shedding tears secretly.

The woman was a little bit incredulous when she heard this. Her eyes trembled slightly. She didn't say anything, but it seemed like she had said everything.

Madam Liu sneered, "You bitch! You lied without thinking. It would be fine if you pointed at someone else, but you dared to point at the Third Aunt. She usually eats vegetarian food and chants Buddhist scriptures. She never participates in the disputes in the harem. Not to mention that she, like me, married the master early and has a deep affection for him. You are just talking nonsense. Why don't you show us the evidence? If you can't, it's slander!"
