Cheng Jinchu looked at the princess and asked again.

“Princess, if I came to the imperial capital with full of excitement and excitement, thinking that my family finally loved me, but encountered something like this, what would I do?

The princess closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"You will try your best to explain that you were wronged, and that you are the real one."

Cheng Jinchu nodded.

"What the princess said is right. It is obvious that the people behind this have carefully planned it. With the nature of the Shen family, they generally do not seek the truth, but only see whether it is useful or not. I will definitely fall into a vicious circle of self-proving and cannot get out. I will try my best to explain and prove it, but who will believe it?"

Seeing Princess Anle silent, Cheng Jinchu continued.

"This kind of desperate explanation is a huge emotion caused by the fear of being wronged. It makes people deeply trapped in it, unable to see the whole incident, and become confused. It seems that they can only try hard to say things that others believe.

However, this is useless and will make people feel helpless and desperate. It is difficult for people who fall into such emotions to extricate themselves!

Similarly, Princess, sadness is also a huge emotion. For people who are in sadness, what they see and hear, which is closest to the truth, must be the truth?

I think there are two kinds of so-called truth. One is that you don’t believe it and think it is not the truth, but everyone else believes it, so it doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not.

There is another kind where you believe it, but others don’t. You don’t care whether others believe it or not, because you believe it anyway.”

Princess Anle's eyes turned red and tears fell down her cheeks.

"Princess, my greatest luck is that I didn't grow up in the Shen family, but I know those people well, and I never long for them to have so-called family affection for me.

Sometimes, it is the closest relationship that deceives people. I saw it clearly a long time ago, so I am always on guard. This is just a guarantee I give myself, a life guarantee. You have really let yourself be immersed in sadness for too long. "

The princess cried bitterly. Cheng Jinchu stood by and watched without saying anything to comfort her. The princess had been in poor health since childhood. After giving birth to a daughter, she never got pregnant again. She loved her daughter very much, so her daughter's departure was a permanent scar in her heart, and the pain went deep into her bones when she moved.

After the princess left, Yunzhi came to Cheng Jinchu with some tea and snacks.

"Master, how long are we going to stay here?"

The little girl was at an age when she had the least patience. She was trapped in the village every day and was fed up with it.

"Give others some time to investigate the case. Getting the result too quickly makes people feel that the case is too simple, which doesn't match the explosive result later!"

Yunzhi nodded. That was right. She just felt that she had lost her freedom. Although these people couldn't trap her, her master hadn't left yet, so she naturally wouldn't leave.

Compared to Cheng Jinchu's leisure, the Shen Mansion was in chaos.

When Mo Ling first returned to the Shen Mansion, everyone in the family was very happy. They even prepared a lot of delicious food that day, and the whole family had dinner together in a very happy mood.

During this time, Aunt Mo, with tears in her eyes, pulled Mo Ling and said things like she had been wronged.

Mo Ling happily returned to the Hairpin Courtyard and had a good sleep. However, she was called to the main hall by Mr. Shen San early the next morning.

Before entering the house, Mo Ling glanced at the servants around her. They were staring at her fiercely. Their eyes were colder than the cold wind blowing on her body. She tightened her cloak.

Mo Ling was shocked when she lifted the door curtain and looked inside from the doorway. She was just a young girl who had just come of age and had always been doted on. She had never seen such a scene before. All the elders were in the room, except for the old lady who was still out of town.

Mr. Shen San sat on the main seat, and Mr. Shen Da and Mr. Shen Er sat below him, with their wives standing upright beside them.

Mrs. Zhou, the first wife of Shen, snorted coldly and turned her head away from Mo Ling. Mrs. Yu, the second wife of Shen, lowered her head to reduce her presence.

Seeing Mo Ling coming in, Sun Manman's eyes suddenly turned red. She walked over quickly, grabbed Mo Ling and pulled her into the house.

"You, tell me the truth, what you said yesterday was true? Are those so-called witnesses and evidences of yours true?"

Mo Ling frowned and looked at Sun Manman in confusion. Yesterday she hugged her and cried, telling her how much she loved her. How come it was only one night? Even one night was not enough for that woman to turn the tables.

The second young master Zhao also stepped into the Shen Mansion at this time, followed by the Shen Mansion's steward.

The butler bent his body and followed the young master in a flattering manner, and told the second young master Zhao to lead the way, and brought the young master all the way to the main hall.

Startled by the sudden arrival of the guest, Master Shen San quickly stood up. Although this gentleman was not an official yet, his father was the prime minister!

"Second Master, please take a seat. Butler, what are you standing there for? Serve the tea!"

The third master of the Shen family, Shen Yun, hurriedly invited everyone to sit in the seat of honor. The second master of the Zhao family sat down, and the three masters of the Shen family stood upright at the bottom.

"I ask you, have you ever lied to me?"

The second young master Zhao narrowed his eyes and stared at Mo Ling who was standing below. He had gone to the cell early in the morning. Thanks to his identity, he stood at the cell door and saw the woman covered in blood from afar.

Such a fairy-like person suddenly became like that. He heard it clearly from outside and said that the thief not only wanted to kill her, but also wanted to disfigure her.

It looked like that group of people didn't take her life, but they did ruin her appearance!

"The evidence you submitted will be repeatedly checked by Jingzhao Yin. If you have forged these things, then tell me now. I will save you because you have been with me for so many days."

Seeing that Mo Ling didn't say anything, Mr. Zhao's tone softened a little. He didn't know why, but when Mo Ling provided these seemingly incriminating evidences, he still felt uneasy.

He was the one who submitted the evidence. Although he was a playboy, everyone knew who his father was. He gave face to Prime Minister Zhao. If anything happened to him, his father...

He didn't even dare to think too deeply!

That woman was assassinated that night. If she was really wronged, then the Zhao family...

He doesn't even dare to go home now. His father must be waiting for him at the door. What good will come of him if he waits for him to go back?

Since that girl is ruined, it is better for her not to turn over. The current situation is that no matter whether the person standing below is the real Miss Shen, she must be!

Shen Yun glanced at the second son of the Zhao family who was sitting upstairs. He knew that this woman came from his Zhao Mansion, and it was the evidence provided by his Zhao family that sent Shen Jinyi to jail. If that incident had not happened in the evening, Shen Jinyi would definitely be convicted. Since Jingzhao Yin already had evidence, they would only verify the evidence directly and would not continue investigating.

The situation is completely different now. Even ordinary people find it strange. Why did he still choose to kill the woman when he had absolute evidence? Was he afraid that something uncontrollable would happen?

Is that hiding something?

The first thing Shen Yun did when he heard the news was to ask someone to find out everything that happened last night. He got the news that Shen Jinyi's injury was caused by the imperial physician consulted by Princess Anle. It was said that when Jingzhao Yin arrested the person, the princess expressed her disbelief.

The most important thing is that on the night when Mo Ling came back, when he returned to the study to handle official business, he found a letter on the desk...

Although the princess has been depressed in recent years because of her daughter's affairs and has not come out often, others may have forgotten, but Shen Yun remembers that when the emperor ascended the throne, he was assisted by his own sister, Princess Anle.

Although the princess is a woman, her father once commented that it was a pity to be born a girl. Before his death, the late emperor passed the throne to the current emperor, who is the late emperor's half-brother. He said at that time that if the princess was a boy, it would be safest to give the throne to her.

After so many years, everyone may have really forgotten that it was reported yesterday that the princess protected Shen Jinyi just because she was pretty and she had a good impression of her. This is simply impossible. The princess must have some news that they don't know.
