Shen Zhongtian pushed through the crowd and squeezed in. When he saw that the woman in white standing with Princess Anhua was Shen Wanwan, his pupils suddenly shrank.

She is actually alive!

Didn’t they say that she jumped off a cliff?

A few days ago, Shen Yifei brought back the news that Shen Wanwan had jumped off a cliff and died. Shen Zhongtian immediately sent someone to investigate the relevant information. The answer he got was that she did jump off the cliff on her own initiative, and the King of Qin was heartbroken because of this.

The next day, Shen Wanshu spread a rumor that Shen Wanwan was kidnapped by bandits and accidentally fell off a cliff and died after losing her innocence. Although Shen Zhongtian knew that the rumor was spread by Shen Wanshu, he believed it anyway.

A young girl was abducted to the mountains for several days. She is not a god, so how can she maintain her innocence?

At that time, the Duke of Anguo's Mansion once again sent a matchmaker to ask for the hand in marriage of the fourth daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Shen Zhongtian knew very well that the girl in the mansion was not his own daughter, but Shen Wanwan was dead, and the Prince of Qin's path was also dead. The Duke of Anguo's Mansion was willing to put aside their prejudices and continue the marriage with the Prime Minister's Mansion. He just continued to treat the fake daughter as his real daughter. What was the difficulty?

But who can tell him now why Shen Wanwan is standing here unharmed?

He even felt that she had a new aura, which was...

"Wan'er, since you are not dead, why don't you return to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

He went out to attend court before dawn, and when he left, he did not hear the doorman mention that the third young lady had returned home. Naturally, he did not know that Shen Wanwan had stayed overnight in Wanqing Courtyard.

Shen Wanwan glanced at Shen Zhongtian, her red lips curled slightly, "Prime Minister Shen, what you said is true. The Prime Minister's Mansion is my home. Now that I'm back in the capital, where else can I live if not in the Prime Minister's Mansion? How come, Your Majesty, doesn't know that I stayed in my own courtyard last night?"

Look, this prime minister is so miserable. He is working hard outside, but his old mother at home is not his biological mother, his wife is suspicious of him, his daughter is an imposter, his son is stupid, and the doorman doesn't even tell her that she is going home.

Tsk tsk, he is the only one in Nanyao country who treats the head of a family like this!

Prime Minister Shen was a little embarrassed and his expression suddenly changed, "You..."

"I am now accompanying the princess to wait for the officials to come and handle the case. If Prime Minister Shen has nothing else to do, please return home early. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, a great day for family reunions. As the head of the family, how can you be absent?"

Shen Zhongtian then shifted his gaze elsewhere. When his eyes fell on Xiao Cui, just one glance and he felt like he was struck by lightning.

"She, she is..."

"Move aside, move aside. The Dali Temple is handling a case. All outsiders, please leave immediately."

The onlookers moved to the side of the road, clearing a passage, and Liu Zhuopeng, the Minister of the Dali Temple, came over with a team of officials.

"This humble official greets Princess Anhua and the Prime Minister."

"Your Excellency, there's no need to be so polite. It's this woman who actually managed to scam me. You can handle it as you see fit."

Liu Zhuopeng: “???”

Although she was a princess, it was not the Dali Temple's business to deal with such a small matter as fraud.

The reason why he came in person was that Princess Anhua had a special identity, and more importantly, the person who reported the case said that the person who caused the trouble was suspected to be a spy from another country.

Since it involved his secret work, he, as the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, had to go there in person.

Seeing the other party's hesitation, Zhao Ziyi spoke again, "Why, does Lord Liu also suspect that it was my carriage that hit her?"

Xiao Cui's eyes rolled when she heard this, and she kowtowed to Liu Zhuopeng, "Please, sir, clear my name. I am innocent!"

Liu Zhuopeng thought for a moment and said, "Is there anyone present who is willing to testify and tell us what they saw?"

The onlookers are all people who like to watch the fun, but if they are asked to come out as witnesses, the fun will become boring.

Everyone looked at each other, and no one was willing to stand up and testify.

"If there are any witnesses at the scene who are willing to testify, please step forward. This officer..."

Before Liu Zhuopeng finished speaking, the onlookers all took several steps back, leaving a small figure behind.

Nangong Xiyu?

Shen Wanwan held her forehead with her hand. Why is this little ancestor here too? Is he really everywhere?

"I can testify that when the princess's sister's carriage passed by here just now, there were many pedestrians on the road. The speed of the carriage could hardly keep up with my walking speed, so it would not hit anyone at all.

"But for some reason, this vicious woman suddenly cried out in pain and fell down in front of the wheel. Fortunately, the driver pulled the reins in time, otherwise her neck would have been broken."
