Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her

Zhao touched her veil, overcome with grief. "How can I face others in this state? Apart from Shen Li, who else would hate me so much that she would even dare to cut my hair? If time wasn't short, she would really have cut off all my hair. Master, wuwuwu, I've been bullied like this in my own home. I can't live like this. You have to take care of me, wuwuwu."

Shen Zhaojiang was suddenly overwhelmed.

He was completely confused, how could he make the decision for her?

If you want to find Shen Li, you need evidence.

But where did they get the evidence?

The other party appeared and disappeared mysteriously, leaving no trace behind. Even he didn't believe what Zhao said about Shen Li, let alone others?

"Don't cry yet. We'll figure this out. When we go to court at daybreak, I'll explain the situation to my father-in-law and ask him to send a few secret guards over. We can also discuss how to catch this guy."

Zhao's crying gradually stopped, and she felt extremely reluctant.

Her father already disliked her because of what happened last time, and if Shen Zhaojiang went to tell her father about it, wouldn't that make him even more annoyed?

As the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, he had no idea how to deal with such a thing happening in his family, and finally had to ask his father for help.

Why didn't I see at the beginning that he was a nerd who had no courage or means except studying?

The so-called "holding a position without doing any work" refers to this kind of people.

Contempt arose in her heart. Zhao lowered her eyes, touched her veil, gritted her teeth, lay down on the bed, turned sideways and ignored Shen Zhaojiang.

The next day.

Just after the morning court session, Shen Zhaojiang caught up with the old prime minister who was walking in front and told him what happened last night.

The old prime minister listened to him with a sullen face, then suddenly asked, "The night before yesterday, your black mastiff disappeared. Is that true?"

Shen Zhaojiang was stunned and quickly replied, "Yes, that mastiff was raised by Kun'er. He disappeared without a trace. We searched everywhere but couldn't find him..."

"Humph, why did I hear that Kun'er even let that big mastiff bite the servant who made the mistake? He's so brutal at such a young age. Is this the kind of child you raised?"

Shen Zhaojiang had always been respectful and fearful in front of his father-in-law. He immediately became nervous when he heard him say that. He replied, "That's just nonsense. Kun'er is just a child. It's impossible for him to do such a thing. Please rest assured, father-in-law..."

"Impossible? My secret guards saw it with their own eyes, or is it just someone else's fabrication? You turned a blind eye to such brutality and even covered it up for him. All your sage books have been eaten by dogs. You are unworthy of being a minister!"

The old prime minister's voice was angry, and the court officials passing by looked at them curiously. Even Shen Zhaojiang's neck turned red.

"I also heard that you two ran to Miss Shen's yard in the middle of the night, showing off in the name of looking for a dog. What's the matter? Thinking that Fang Yao wasn't home, you bullied the girl? As a parent, you've wasted your energy on this, right? After hearing this, I felt ashamed to face everyone. You still have the nerve to come here and say that Miss Shen cut Kun'er's mother's hair. Do you think you can believe it? Or do you think that I am so old and incompetent that you can fool me at will?"

It was the height of summer, and the sun was shining directly down, making Shen Zhaojiang feel extremely hot. He had not expected that the old prime minister knew his family so well. Sweat dripped from his forehead, and he quickly reached out to wipe it away.

"Father-in-law, what happened last night was indeed strange, but I have no clue what it was. I am terrified and would like to ask you to send a few more secret guards to help protect my wife and children."

The old prime minister's eyelids had drooped, and his lowered eyes revealed his impatience.

Shen Zhaojiang stopped talking and stood there obediently, looking pitiful like a student waiting for his teacher's instruction.

"There's no need for secret guards. I've spent a fortune training people who aren't meant to be used for your petty affairs. What will Fang Yao think if you and your wife order the secret guards to deal with Miss Shen? I sent them there, so Fang Yao will definitely think I've chosen sides and am ready to oppose him. I clearly don't have that intention, so why should I be tied up by you?"

"Back then, you and the son-in-law of the Wen family both chose the Chongguo Mansion as your backer. I told you to take it one step at a time, but you didn't listen and rushed for quick results. At that time, I said that the Chongguo Mansion supported you because they wanted to force me to take sides. You guys have miscalculated. I don't take anyone's advice, and I'm not afraid of threats. No matter what happens in the future, I will only recognize the Emperor. Whoever the Emperor says is suitable to be the crown prince, I will support. If the Chongguo Mansion vents its anger on you because of this, I have only two words to say: you deserve it."

After saying these words, the old prime minister threw down his sleeves, swaggered out of the palace with his hands behind his back.

Shen Zhaojiang's face turned blue and purple. He was embarrassed to be scolded so early in the morning.

Just as he was about to walk out, the second prince hurriedly caught up with him.

"Master Shen, please stay."

Shen Zhaojiang looked back and quickly bowed, "Greetings, Second Prince."

Xiao Haoze quickly returned the greeting, "Master Shen, you are too polite."

Guan Yonghou happened to walk past the two of them. Just as Shen Zhaojiang was about to greet him, Guan Yonghou turned his head away, spat twice on the ground, and walked away with a dark face.

The Second Prince spread his hands and said to Shen Zhaojiang, "The old marquis is taking his anger out on you and me."

"Yeah," Shen Zhaojiang smiled awkwardly, "The old man is still angry, and it won't go away for a while, hehe."

Just as the two were about to leave after they finished talking, Censor Cui came over with his head held high.

As soon as Shen Zhaojiang saw him, his head began to ache slightly.

In the past two days, Censor Cui's impeachment of him and the Chongguo Mansion has become commonplace.

I have never seen such a stubborn person. The Duke of Chongguo hated him so much, but there was nothing they could do.

In the words of Duke Chongguo, you can't kill this kind of person.

Death is fulfillment and sublimation for him.

The people in the Censorate were always dreaming of dying one day with a reputation for being upright and incorruptible, so that their names could be recorded in history books and passed down through the ages.

Whoever kills him will become his stepping stone and a villain, and will never be able to make a comeback in this life.

Censor Cui walked over with his back straight. Shen Zhaojiang stepped forward and bowed politely, saying, "Master Cui, thank you for your hard work."

Censor Cui paused and said righteously, "This is all for the court and the people. There's nothing to worry about."

"Yes, Lord Cui is a man of high moral character and integrity, a true role model for us."

Shen Zhaojiang complimented him, but secretly groaned in his heart, wishing he would not stop and leave quickly.

The second prince also politely bowed in greeting.

Censor Cui frowned and remembered something.

"Second Prince, I heard that when the Guanyong Marquis's mansion held a banquet, you brought a little girl in and pretended to be the sister of the eldest daughter of the Shen family?"

The Second Prince and Shen Zhaojiang both felt a tightness in their hearts.

"That girl is only seven years old. Miss Shen's mother has been at the farm for ten years. You brought this girl here to prove that Mrs. Fang is unfaithful to her husband. You want to smear General Fang, damage the reputation of the Fang family army, and affect the morale of the troops! Am I right?"

Censor Cui stared at the second prince, and his blood began to boil again.

Now he has found the content for tomorrow's impeachment.
