The cruel little princess

The truth of the case was finally revealed at this point, but the man in black who bribed the Ma family to frame the Princess of Ruian County was nowhere to be found.

Since these people in the Ma family were responsible for someone's death, although the housekeeper, concubine, and servants were all servants who had signed death contracts in the mansion and could let their master control their life and death, they did not help Boss Ma, and the Rui'an County Master was also implicated.

Therefore, Lord Wu ordered the yamen runners to take them all back to the Ministry of Justice for initial detention, and then exile them, never to return to the capital. Before exile, they were to pay the Rui'an County Lady one thousand taels of silver as compensation for the false accusation. As for the Ma family's property, Lord Wu sent the yamen runners to inform the eldest daughter, who was married far away. After all, she was Boss Ma's only biological daughter and the legitimate heir!

Shen Youyou smiled and thanked Lord Wu and the two princes for their concern, which had brought the case to a swift conclusion. She hadn't suffered any loss, having earned a thousand taels of silver in just half a morning. She was willing to do it again! After all, the innocent were innocent. Her herbal medicine shop was flawless. She was honest and upright, so what was she afraid of?!

Everyone watched the ups and downs of the Ma family's murder and poisoning drama, and went home satisfied to prepare lunch.

Although Shen Youyou didn't understand the purpose of His Royal Highness Prince Rui's appearance here, she still politely thanked His Royal Highness Prince Rui in order not to offend him. "Your Highness Prince Rui, thank you for speaking up for me!"

"You are too polite, Princess Rui'an. I have met you since childhood. As the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting. We are destined to be together!" His Royal Highness Prince Rui waved his hand. "This is just a piece of cake for me. Princess Rui'an does not have to take it to heart. Besides, Princess Rui'an is all alone in this capital city with no relatives. I should take better care of her!" His Royal Highness Prince Rui smiled greasyly.

Shen Youyou suppressed the urge to vomit. If she hadn't understood His Royal Highness Prince Rui's intentions before, now she understood them clearly. He was targeting the power behind her.

Unfortunately, Shen Youyou did not play by the rules and did not even give him a chance. "Your Highness Prince Rui, I think it's getting late, so I won't delay His Highness from returning home for dinner. Please make yourself at home!" After saying that, Shen Youyou bowed and went back to her shop.

His Royal Highness Prince Rui was so excited that he was waiting for Princess Rui'an to express her gratitude and prepare some light wine for her. Then, he could have a few more drinks with her and touch her hand. But what happened?! That was it? She was gone? No wine, no hand? ... This was so unconventional!

But when he glanced at his ninth brother, Prince Jin, who hadn't even spoken a word to Princess Rui'an, he felt better. As expected, happiness requires comparison! At least Princess Rui'an had thanked him individually! She even cared about him and urged him to go back home for dinner so he wouldn't go hungry. And then there was this old ninth brother, eager to come and save the damsel in distress, even talking about the friendship of the border! Ugh! Princess Rui'an didn't even look at him! Not to mention saying hello before leaving!

When His Royal Highness Prince Rui thought of this, his mood suddenly improved. He waved a fan in his hand, hummed a little tune, glanced at His Royal Highness Prince Jin, and left with his secret guards.

Prince Jin wasn't angry, after all, there was no point in arguing with someone whose IQ wasn't online. However, he did know what Old Five was thinking. It seemed that he was so excited because he had his eyes on his little princess!

But I don't know when this happened? Was it that time at Chun Man Lou? Or was it something later? And today's incident is also very strange. Logically speaking, Youyou has only just returned to the capital, and I haven't heard of her offending anyone. No one should be targeting her!

But the Ma family did say that some men in black paid a large sum of money to bribe them to pretend that someone was poisoned after eating medicinal food and come to the Ruian County Master's shop to cause trouble!

Since the man in black knew that this herbal medicine shop was opened by the Princess of Rui'an County but still insisted on causing trouble, there is only one explanation: his master knew Youyou's identity but still wanted to frame her, so his master must not be afraid of the power behind Youyou!

Behind Youyou is a first-rank general guarding the country, so the rank and official position of the person opposite him will not be much lower than General Shen!

With this in mind, the scope narrowed down considerably. His Royal Highness Prince Jin ordered An Yi, "Investigate! Dig deep to find that man in black! We must find out who's behind his orders!"

An Yi responded in a low voice.

Since you dare to touch the person dear to His Royal Highness Prince Jin, then be prepared to bear His Royal Highness Prince Jin's wrath!

After His Royal Highness Prince Jin gave his orders, he rode back to the palace with his secret guards.

However, after this incident, the herbal medicine shop had fewer customers, and everyone was watching other people's attitudes.

Shen Youyou returned to the shop and found that apart from the orders delivered that morning, there were no customers in the shop. Those who had ordered medicinal food from their families said they would wait two days before picking it up. Except for the Zuo family, the family of the Minister of Works, the family of the Zheng Censor, the Wu family, the family of the Minister of Personnel, the Xu family, the Right Prime Minister, and Chun Manlou, the rest said that their masters were out of town for something and would come back in two days to pick up the medicinal food.

They were all smart people, so how could Shen Youyou not understand? But she wasn't annoyed. After being busy for so long, she just took a break and rested. It was rare to have some free time!

So Shen Youyou generously took out the compensation she had just received and gave Shopkeeper Wang three hundred taels of silver, asking him to go to Deshanlou to prepare a feast for ten tables! There were ready-made tables and chairs on the first floor of the herbal medicine shop, so they could pack up the food and eat it in the shop! She invited everyone to have a reunion meal! For a moment, the cooks and waiters in the shop burst into laughter and thanked their young lady!

Compared to Shen Youyou's excitement, the backyard of the Left Prime Minister Zhang's mansion was not so happy.

"Useless! They're all useless!" Zhang Yuyan slammed the table in anger, sweeping the teacups and fruit plate from the table in her boudoir to the ground. She was shaking with anger. "They can't even handle such a small matter! Those Ma family members are really useless!"

Zhang Yuyan couldn't understand. This was clearly a dead end. Even if Shen Youyou didn't die, she would have to suffer a lot! At the very least, she would have to shut down her shop. Then she would have her father report Shen Duanfang to the emperor and punish him for failing to raise his daughter and allowing her to commit murder! How could she have found a loophole and escaped?!

"Is the tail taken care of?" After Zhang Yuyan calmed down, she sat at the dressing table and combed her black, soft, and shiny hair. This was one of her assets that she was proud of. Everyone who saw her hair would praise her hair as beautiful as clouds! Unfortunately, her hair had grown to her waist, but her cousin now wanted to marry her, not her, but the vixen Shen Youyou who had just arrived in Beijing!

"Miss, the Ma family members have been detained in the Ministry of Justice's prison, and our people cannot see them. Moreover, our people are cautious and do not leave any traces. Even when trading with them, they did not take off their masks to reveal their true faces, and they deliberately lowered their voices when speaking. There should be no flaws." Feicui replied to the lady in a low voice.

"That's good. If he is accidentally discovered, he should know what to do, right?" Zhang Yuyan asked again.

"I found Xiao Sanzi, the son of the gatekeeper in our courtyard. The lives of his entire family are in the hands of the young lady! He will definitely not betray the young lady!" Feicui whispered with a smile to comfort her young lady.

"Well, as long as he knows what to do. Tell him that even if he is really found out, just find a reason to get rid of him, otherwise his parents will have no chance of survival. I will definitely be safe, but his whole family will be buried with him!" Zhang Yuyan said threateningly in a sinister voice.

"Yes! Miss! I will definitely inform him of the interests involved!" Feicui bowed and went to find Xiao Sanzi.

"I won't accept this! I won't accept this! I can only be my cousin's Princess Rui!" Zhang Yuyan said in shock. "I will eliminate anyone who dares to stand in my way!" She took the lip balm from her dressing box and casually applied it to her cherry lips. "Shen Youyou, you only have the title of Princess Rui'an. Your father and brother are far away at the border. What can you use to fight me?! Humph! You are just a clown who overestimates his own abilities!"

Suddenly, she frantically picked up her lip balm and smeared it on the dressing mirror! As if the mirror was Shen Youyou's face. "Shen Youyou, you vixen! You're lucky this time, but next time... you won't be so lucky! I want to see how many people can help you! Hahahaha..."
