After mentioning the name Princess Shen, Bu Yan cleared his throat and stared at Rong Chang with burning eyes: "When did Second Madam Rong give you this house?"

"A month ago."

Bu Yan pretended to be embarrassed.

"Lord Bu, although my second son's wife is dead, the original owner of the house, Princess Shen, is still alive. Why not invite her here to confront him and get to the bottom of things!" said Old Madam Rong.

Rong Chang also suggested to Bu Yan: "I am willing to confront Princess Shen face to face."

When everyone thought that Bu Yan would send someone to invite Princess Shen, Bu Yan said, "Nonsense, Princess Shen is a royal family woman with a noble status. How can she be summoned casually? I will investigate this matter thoroughly. Okay, let's stop here today."

After saying that, Bu Yan waved his hand and left the court.

Madam Rong shouted at the top of her lungs for a long time, but Bu Yan did not turn back.

Rong Chang, who was standing by, was dragged away by Lin Qi: "Send him back to the prison to continue guarding. No one is allowed to visit him without the adults' order."

"Grandma!" Rong Chang shouted in horror.

Upon seeing this, Madam Rong was so exhausted that she fainted on the spot.

Suddenly the hall was in an uproar.

The common people talked about it with great relish: "I don't know what happened in the past two months, but the shadow of Prince Shen's Mansion can be seen everywhere."

"It's all because the Crown Prince has no son. Prince Shen must have had some thoughts on this."

For a time, Prince Shen's Mansion was pushed to the forefront.

When Helian heard about this, her eyebrows twisted into a "川" shape and she angrily said, "This is simply nonsense. When did I ever give Madam Rong any manor? This is outrageous!"

She is not afraid of confrontation at all.

These people actually dared to throw dirty water on themselves, damn it!

"Someone come here!" Helian raised his voice and asked someone to find Bu Yan immediately to question him.

The maid said, "Princess, Lord Bu's personality is unpredictable. Can he come to your house so easily?"

"He is just a small Jingzhao Yin, I don't even take him seriously!"

Helian had long found Bu Yan annoying, and she wanted to see what Bu Yan was up to!

After waiting for about half an hour, Bu Yan actually came to apologize in person, with a very good attitude: "Princess, please be patient. I believe that the Rong family must have framed you. I will definitely find the mastermind behind it and clear your name."

It is not advisable to offer a hand to a smiling person. Helian did not expect Bu Yan to be so tactful. His expression immediately improved a lot, and he symbolically asked about the case.

Bu Yan did not hide anything and told the whole story.

Helian said, "Lord Bu, minting coins privately is no small matter. You must interrogate me strictly and clear my name."

"Yes!"

Before leaving, Helian said again: "Based on Lord Bu's methods, how long will it take to find out the truth?"

"Three days is enough."

Helian smiled and said, "Okay, then I will wait for you for three days."

Bu Yan cupped his hands and said, "If the Princess is alright, I will go investigate the case."

"Go."

After getting the nod, Bu Yan turned around and left respectfully, without any of his usual rebelliousness. When he reached the gate, a carriage sped past.

"Sir, be careful!" Lin Qi shouted.

Bu Yan was pulled back somehow, and dozens of banknotes flew out of his arms and floated high in the air. Bu Yan's face changed slightly: "Go get them back!"

"Yes."

At once, all the guards around him rushed to grab the banknotes.

Some of them flew away and landed at the feet of ordinary people. When they looked at the deposit, they found that it was a silver note of ten thousand taels!

"What are you looking at!" the guard shouted, picking up the banknote and hurriedly handing it to Bu Yan.

No one could see Bu Yan's expression, they only saw him hurriedly getting on the carriage.

After the carriage left, many people behind it began to point at the carriage and say, "A year of government service, tens of millions of silver coins, we have never seen such a large banknote in our lives."

As he spoke, he did not forget to glance at the plaque hanging high up, Prince Shen's Mansion.

……

on carriage

Bu Yan leaned against the wall of the carriage and said to Lin Qi nonchalantly, "Go and buy me some clothes."

Lin Qi didn't understand why, but he did as he was told.

In just a few hours, Bu Yan's attire had changed. The boots on his feet were made of jade brocade with cloud patterns embroidered with gold thread. He wore an emerald green ring on his hand, and the jade belt around his waist was exquisitely embroidered. It was obvious at first glance that it was a valuable Shu brocade.

At the same time, regarding the matter of Princess Shenjun's gift of the courtyard, Bu Yan also personally investigated and explained it, and simply put all the blame on Madam Rong Er.

A sentence without evidence does not count.

Madam Rong died in vain.

"Bu Yan is really going too far! He blatantly accepted bribes. It's obvious that he was bought by Prince Shen's Mansion!" Old Madam Rong was furious.

She finally woke up, and now she was very angry again.

Rong supported the old lady and said, "Mother, calm down. He is not the only one who has the final say in the capital. Our Rong family will not be defeated so easily."

The old lady pushed Rong away and snorted, "If you hadn't gone to the East Palace to visit the Crown Princess and been targeted, how could the Rong family have been in trouble?"

"Mother, this is just speculation from the outside world." Rong argued. She didn't believe that things would be so complicated. She was targeted just because she went to visit the Crown Princess.

The old lady looked gloomy and said nothing.

At that time, there was news that the Third Lady had arrived. She burst into tears and cried, saying that Rong Yin was wronged.

"Mother, Ying'er has been captured. If anything happens to Ying'er, I will not live." The third wife burst into tears.

The old lady was so upset that she quickly sent someone to watch the gate of the yamen. At the same time, she did not forget to look at Rong: "You helped the Crown Princess, I want to see if the Crown Princess will remain indifferent!"

Rong felt bitter in her mouth, knowing that the old lady was blaming her for making decisions on her own. Even if it had happened once before and the Crown Princess was seriously ill, she would not sit idly by.

Both grandsons of the Rong family were imprisoned. Bu Yan interrogated them overnight and did not allow outsiders to interfere. No one knew what the situation was.
