The prince can read minds! I just want to be a princess and have a bad time

At this time, the Empress Dowager, who was far away in the Luocheng Palace, was under house arrest by the Emperor's son, but because of her status, she still lived a comfortable life.

She was pruning orchids in a good mood, and humming a few songs from time to time.

Seeing this, the old nanny at the side said with a smile, "It seems that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has finally done one thing right this year. How about I ask them to send a few more pots of new orchids over for the Empress Dowager to enjoy tomorrow?"

The Queen Mother raised her head with a meaningful smile, looked up and said, "When the gardener is dividing the orchid seedlings, he will prune them according to the situation, leaving no weak seedlings or roots. This way, the new seedlings and new roots will grow stronger and stronger, and the quality of the flowers will be better... But I think it's not bad to leave some bad roots. When the orchid thinks it is flourishing, this little bit of bad root is enough to make it uncomfortable... I wonder if this plate of orchids will choose to throw away this bad root or save it? Haha!"

Although Mammy didn't understand what the Queen Mother was talking about, her years of experience taught her that it was enough to just go along with her at times like this. "The Queen Mother is absolutely right. In fact, the so-called goodness or badness of orchids is just a matter of the gardener's thoughts."

The Queen Mother gave her an admiring look, and looked at the masterpiece that had taken her most of the day to build with satisfaction, "Okay, that's enough, throw it away!"

The nanny was stunned. Don’t you want such a beautiful orchid?

But he had no choice but to respond, "Yes..."

On the other side, Shen Yu and Lu Yingxing were still waiting for the old doctor to confess.

The couple also discussed many possibilities privately. At first, she thought that her mother was deceived into marriage by a scumbag. A rich girl who bravely pursued love met a scheming Phoenix scholar, wouldn't she be deceived?

But later, through various clues, she learned that her mother might not be completely ignorant of Luo Yunmei. She also thought that her mother might be deceiving herself. After all, taking a concubine was legal in ancient times, and a wife would not have any thoughts of cheating on her husband if she had a woman. It was better to keep her outside than to bring her into the house.

But... the old doctor now said that after his mother was bullied, she quickly traced it back to him? So, she was willing to marry Shen Nian even after knowing that she had drugged her?

Oh, not only that, she also made a big fuss about not marrying anyone else but you.

The two uncles of the Su family were also hurriedly taken back to the mansion. They were busy with the academy recently. When they heard that their niece asked them to come back immediately, they did not delay for a moment. However, they did not expect to be taken to a cell? They also heard their sister's name.

"What was your mother's attitude when she found out?" Lu Yingxing asked calmly. After all, he and Su Yixia had no connection among the people present, so this incident did not cause any impact on him.

He was asking about the details of what happened at that time. What the old doctor said just now was a bit confusing. In fact, he didn't know much about the matter, and many of them were just his personal guesses.

But in fact, this happened a long time ago, and the old doctor had many questions in his mind. In addition, he had been tortured so much that he just gave up and told them all the doubts he had hidden in his heart for many years.

"I remember it very clearly. She pretended to be calm on the surface, but her fingers holding the handkerchief turned white. Miss Su fell down at the door and came in to seek medical treatment. I was also shocked when I saw her at first. It was not until she said that she knew that I was the one who gave Lord Shen the medicine that I realized that she had come to my door."

"Do you remember what she asked you? Tell me exactly what she asked you." Lu Yingxing said.

The old doctor nodded repeatedly, "Of course I remember."

"I have never told anyone about this, not even Lord Shen. I admire Miss Su's calmness. After all, that kind of medicine will only make people unconscious for half an hour, so she must have known the truth at that time... I don't know what Lord Shen told her... Anyway, she only asked me how we met. I said that I encountered a thief and was rescued once, and then asked me about the medicine. I even told him that Lord Shen asked for a strong medicine at first, and then asked for a shorter duration of the drug... But I didn't dare to say that I was sent to Jiangnan."

He looked at everyone, and his tone suddenly became a little melancholy. "Although I am not a good person, I am also a doctor. I can't stand Lord Shen's style of saying one thing in front of others and another behind their backs. But at that time, Miss Su asked me to forget about it. In fact, I would have kept it secret even if she didn't say it. A woman's reputation can be important or insignificant."

Then he went on to talk about some details of what happened at that time, his mother's reaction, etc.

Shen Yu listened to him sarcastically trying to clear himself up, but he felt that his mother's reaction was wrong. "How long after mother found you did the story of your mutual affection that was widely circulated happen?"

The old doctor was afraid that she would think that this matter had something to do with him, and his anxiety reached its peak in an instant, "It was later... But this matter was spread by Miss Su herself. I paid special attention to it at the time. At first, the rumor spread from the Su Mansion's courtyard, and later I saw the two of them getting along. Miss Su should have accepted her fate."

Hearing these two words, the eldest uncle of the Su family could no longer hold back and rushed forward to beat him up, "You are helping the tyrant! I will beat you to death!"

“Ah, stop hitting me! I was forced to do this, ah!!”

Uncle Su was just a weak scholar who didn't know how to fight. While beating others, his fists were also bruised and bloody, but everyone watched it all in silence and did not step forward to stop it.

His anger needed to be vented, and everyone's grievances also needed an outlet. In the silence, everyone longed for some form of release, and they all wanted to rush into this story from more than ten years ago and save that weak and helpless girl.

"Ah! Stop hitting me, Miss Su has already forgiven me. She, she even asked me to come back and be the court doctor!!"

"What? Wait!" Shen Yu suddenly jumped up, "What did you say?"

Lu Yingxing grabbed his wife who was about to rush over. She then remembered what she had overlooked and asked anxiously, "You said your son is still the official doctor of the Shen Mansion? So, the night my mother had a difficult delivery, was it you who did it? Or your son?"

Uncle Su's rage suddenly froze. She was stunned by the bloody man beneath her and suddenly rushed over to try to pull out the guard's knife, "I will kill you!!".

For a moment, everyone wondered if their hearing was not working well due to their age. Otherwise, how could they have auditory hallucinations? They just caught the murderer? !

"It's not him..." Prince De, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.

The Su family looked at him blankly, but when his voice sounded again, a shocking secret was revealed, "I was afraid of scaring you. Sorry, I suspect Yixia...she committed suicide."
