Crazy and bad again, the princess is the best in Beijing

Shen Yi felt terrible. What does it mean to just treat him as someone he isn't?

She was probably sure that he was the leader of the Nanxiang spies.

He was extremely nervous, but Shi Wanwan had already changed the subject: "What's the situation at the Lu Mansion now?"

Shen Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "There's no movement over there yet."

"However, according to the rules, the palace examination will be held on the third day after the results are announced."

"If Lu Xingzhi doesn't participate, his results will be invalidated, and he will not be able to take the imperial examination again in the future."

"The list was released yesterday, and the palace examination will be held tomorrow, so the Lu family should be the one anxious right now."

Shi Wanwan raised her eyebrows slightly. Lu Xingzhi always thought highly of himself and believed that he should have a bright future. He would not gamble with his future.

She then said, "Just wait, someone from the Lu Mansion will definitely come to our door today."

Facts proved that her inference was correct. When she returned to the princess's mansion, Master Lu was already waiting outside.

When Scholar Lu saw her, he bowed deeply and said, "Princess, we know we were wrong."

"These are the items on the list. Some of them are impossible to find, so I've converted them into cash. Please review them, Princess."

After Shi Wanwan gave the list to Mr. Lu that day, she was involved in the imperial examination cheating case and had no time to find him to settle accounts.

She thought it would be extremely difficult to get them to spit out the silver, but she didn't expect him to be so proactive.

She took the list he handed over, called Feng Yiyong and other guards, and asked them to go and count it.

Scholar Lu said hesitantly to Shi Wanwan, "As for the matter of breaking off the engagement, I have already submitted a memorial to His Majesty. This matter must await His Majesty's approval."

"Could the princess go to Jingzhao Prefecture and withdraw the charges against my son and let him go?"

Seeing that he was so cooperative, Shi Wanwan thought that Emperor Qianyuan was partial to her, which frightened him to death.

He had to make compromises for Lu Xingzhi's future.

She said, "Okay, but Lu Xingzhi must apologize to me."

She didn't want to have anything to do with the people from the Lu Mansion.

The person who assassinated her was not Lu Xingzhi, and she didn't want the person behind the scenes to succeed.

As for Lu Xingzhi, he had once given warmth to the original owner, and the original owner had loved him so deeply. This marriage was also forced by the original owner.

If the Lu family returns all the things that the original owner has given away and apologizes to the original owner, Shi Wanwan can let this matter go.

After all, it was the Shi family of three who forced the original owner to death, and these people from the Lu family didn't get any advantage from her.

Master Lu hurriedly said, "You should apologize."

Feng Yiyong had also finished counting and came over to say, "Princess, it basically matches."

"There are a few things missing, but there are an extra 10,000 taels of silver."

Scholar Lu then explained, "I gave a piece of calligraphy and painting to someone else and can't get it back. I'm selling it for three thousand taels of silver."

"There's also a pair of gold hairpins that we can't find either. Their market value is five hundred taels."

"..."

He explained clearly what was missing and how much silver was converted.

Shi Wanwan calculated and found that they basically matched, so she said, "Xia Xue, go make a list and put all these things into the warehouse."

Xia Xue responded and asked the guards to carry all the things into the warehouse.

Shi Wanwan watched them busying around, and had no idea which one of them was Emperor Qianyuan's spy.

Seeing her in a daze, Lu Xueshi whispered, "Princess, my son is in Jingzhao Prefecture..."

Shi Wanwan came back to her senses and said to Feng Yiyong, "Go to Jingzhao Prefecture and find Qin Shaoyin to withdraw my accusation against Lu Xingzhi."

Feng Yi glanced at Master Lu sideways and said, "My princess is so generous. If it were me, I would definitely kill that bastard's entire family!"

Master Lu: “…”

Shi Wanwan smiled and said, "Don't worry. If they bother me again or have any unrealistic ideas, I will kill their entire family."

Master Lu: “…”

Is it really okay for them to discuss killing his entire family in front of him?

After Feng Yiyong left, Shi Wanwan said, "I will withdraw from the case of Lu Xingzhi's assassination."

"How to get Lu Xingzhi out of the Jingzhao Prefecture's prison is the Lu Prefecture's business. This princess will not be responsible for the follow-up."

Families like the Lu family, which have been in Beijing for many years, naturally have their own network of contacts.

It is not difficult to get a person who has not committed a crime out of Jingzhao Prefecture.

Scholar Lu said hurriedly, "We will handle this matter ourselves. I am very grateful that the princess did not make a fuss with us."

He no longer had the elegance of a scholar. He had a lecherous smile on his face and spoke nice words. After saying goodbye, he went to Jingzhao Prefecture to find Lu Xingzhi.

Shi Wanwan felt something was wrong. Why did the people in the Lu Mansion suddenly become so easy to talk to?

She had fought with them several times before and had a good understanding of their greed and ruthlessness.

She was afraid that they would make her suffer a big loss, so she turned to Shen Yi and said, "Go and keep an eye on Master Lu and see who he goes to see."

Shen Yi responded and walked out.

After leaving the princess's mansion, Mr. Lu entered a secluded alley.

He said to Xie Xuan, who was dressed in black, with a mournful face: "It is all as the prince said. The Lu Mansion has returned all the things to the princess."

"I have already submitted the petition to cancel the engagement, but I don't know whether His Majesty will approve it."

Xie Xuanzhi said calmly, "You only need to submit a petition to cancel the engagement, and I will handle the subsequent matters."

"Don't let me see Lu Xingzhi next to the princess again."

Master Lu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Yes."

Xie Xuanzhi waved his hand lightly, and Master Lu left quickly.

As soon as he left, Xie Xuanzhi said, "Come out!"

Shen Yi's eyes darkened, and he walked out from behind the wall with a smile: "The princess's intuition is right, someone really is interfering in the affairs of the Lu Mansion."

"The Lu family is so cooperative in canceling the engagement. Your Highness truly has good intentions."

"It's just that the prince has done so much for the princess, but he didn't tell her about it. It's a bit hard to understand."

Xie Xuanzhi said expressionlessly, "This is easy to figure out. It's just that I've fallen in love with the princess and want to marry her."

Shen Yi: “…”

He really didn't expect Xie Xuanzhi to speak so directly.

He asked, "The prince is quite frank, but does the princess know what the prince is thinking?"

Xie Xuanzhi glanced at him sideways and said, "Isn't this waiting for you to go back and tell the princess? Once you tell her, she will know."

Shen Yi: “…”

He felt that Xie Xuanzhi's words were a bit shameless!

He snorted coldly and turned away.

Xie Xuanzhi said coldly from behind him, "The Fifth Prince of Nanxiang has come to our Tang Dynasty to be a male favorite entertainer. Does the Emperor of Nanxiang know about this?"

Shen Yi paused and turned to look at Xie Xuanzhi with murderous intent in his eyes.

Xie Xuanzhi's face was covered with frost, and murderous intent surged, startling the night birds returning to their nests in the nearby tree.
