The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

Zhou Lingyi was really panicked when she saw Shen Qionghua didn't say anything. She hurriedly looked at Lin Wanru, and the smile she forced on her face was uglier than crying.

"Aunt, you know best what kind of person Mother is. There must be a misunderstanding."

"Brother Xuan has just passed away, and Mother is in great sorrow. Do you really want to abandon Mother and leave the Yongning Marquis' Mansion?"

Zhou Lingyi was very sure that Lin Wanru did not know the inside story before.

Lin Wanru is different from Shen Qionghua. Although Shen Qionghua is a girl from the boudoir, she is in charge of the Shen family's property. It is possible that she had noticed it in advance and kept it to herself.

But Lin Wanru, judging by her mother's description and her behavior after entering the mansion, was extremely simple and easy to control. If she had known what was going to happen today in advance, it would have been impossible for her to be flawless.

But Zhou Lingyi was destined to be disappointed.

Lin Wanru's eyes were red, her heart filled with grief and anger. "I want to believe it, but you saw your mother just now. Regardless of whether it's a misunderstanding or not, I can't take the risk. What if one day she takes advantage of me not paying attention and wants Yi-ge'er to be buried with Xuan-ge'er?"

Zhou Lingyi's eyes widened, obviously he didn't expect Lin Wanru to refuse.

At this moment, Shen Qionghua spoke up, "Don't say anything more. Regardless of whether there was a misunderstanding or not, so many things have happened today. It's not appropriate for the three of us, mother and daughter, to stay in the mansion anymore."

It has come to this point, everyone knows the truth, and only the skin is left floating on the surface.

Even with so many people present today, the Yongning Marquis' Mansion still has some concerns. If we don't leave today, I'm afraid we will never be able to leave in the future.

The low, cold voice of Yongning Hou rang out: "Sister Hua, are you really leaving?"

Shen Qionghua stepped forward with a smile on her face, and said, "Yes, Marquis, thank you for your care during these days. Qionghua will always remember it." She said the last four words almost through gritted teeth.

"What if I disagree?" Marquis Yongning said, "No matter what, we should wait until your aunt wakes up and explain everything clearly, right?"

Shen Qionghua slowly restrained her smile.

The reason why she was still playing dumb with the Yongning Marquis and not bringing the matter to light in front of everyone was because she wanted to take her mother, Ayi and all the loyal servants of the Shen Mansion and evacuate the Yongning Marquis Mansion safely, and did not want them to get hurt.

Since ancient times, noble families have been very concerned about their reputation. Even if everyone present today already knows it, they can all pretend to be stupid as long as they don't expose it on their faces.

This is also the reason why Marquis Yongning wanted to keep her, but did not order his men to knock her out and drag her away right away. He still wanted to save a bit of face.

As long as there is no evidence, there is room for sophistry.

But... Shen Qionghua glanced at Luo Xiyao who was always by her side.

Today... she is not without support.

Even if all the noble families chose to turn a blind eye, ignored her life or death, and did not want to offend Marquis Yongning, she would not be afraid.

Shen Qionghua was full of confidence at this moment. After being reborn for so long, she could finally leave the place where her suffering began in her previous life.

She spoke slowly, "If the Marquis doesn't want the three of us, mother and daughter, to leave, Ayi's safety is of paramount importance to my mother and me. Why don't we report it to the authorities and find out how Xuan-ge'er drowned in the pond?"

"This way, we can find out the truth and avoid my aunt thinking that Xuan'er's death was Ayi's fault. This way, my mother and I can live in the Marquis' Mansion with peace of mind."

Shen Qionghua smiled innocently.

A rare look of disdain appeared on the face of Yongning Hou, "Report to the authorities?" Just you?

If another powerful person said these two words, Marquis Yongning might have some reservations. After all, people always make mistakes, and no one can guarantee that no trace will be left.

But it was Shen Qionghua who reported the matter to the authorities. The Shen family was just a merchant family. Even if the officials were very tactless, would they offend the Yongning Marquis' Mansion for the sake of the Shen family?

Although he didn't say the following words, Shen Qionghua clearly understood them from his eyes.

"Yes, Lord, report to the police. I believe Princess Pingning has the patience to wait here with me for the results. Is that right?"

The last two words were said to Luo Xiyao.

Luo Xiyao's face was full of complacency. She patted her chest and said, "Of course, you are my most important friend. Now that something like this has happened, I certainly can't just stand by and watch."

"I will stay here with you today. I will leave when the results are out. I believe that the Yongning Marquis's Mansion should not lack me for a dinner."

As Luo Xiyao spoke, her eyes fell on Xie Nanyuan who was standing beside her. She said, "Qionghua, you saved me. Your business is my business, and my business is my cousin's business."

"Now that I'm in trouble, I believe my cousin is willing to stay here with me, right, cousin?"

Luo Xiyao opened and closed her mouth, and in an instant she turned the topic to Xie Nanyuan.

Xie Nanyuan walked out expressionlessly, looking at Yongning Hou with a pair of deep eyes, and said word by word: "Pingning is right, Miss Shen saved Pingning, so I still have to help with this little thing."

The words were addressed to Shen Qionghua, but the sharp knife in them was directed at Marquis Yongning.

The disdain in Yongning Hou's heart disappeared instantly, and his fists under his sleeves suddenly tightened.

Shen Qionghua straightened his sleeves, smiled harmlessly, and said:

"My Lord, can the Shen family leave now?"
