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

Mrs. Wen's eyes were sinister as she thought over everything that had happened in her mind.

"Is my brother-in-law trying to play tricks on me?" She stared at Shen Zhaojiang who had just entered the room and asked sinisterly, "After all, this opportunity is rare. The Shen family's favorite is Yao'er. It's so hard for the Second Prince to be willing to join the game. Naturally, my brother-in-law hopes that it is Yao'er who marries the Second Prince. Am I right?"

The Second Prince’s identity is there, who among the daughters of wealthy families wouldn’t want to take advantage of him?

Even she was calculating.

Even though she helped the Second Prince this time, that was all superficial.

Deep down, she wanted to take this opportunity to maintain some favor with the Second Prince and pave the way for her daughter Wen Wanying to marry him.

Their daughter from the Wen family married the second prince, and after entering the palace, she had her own means to become the queen, so she didn't care at all if Shen Li succeeded first.

But the Shen family does not have the confidence like their Wen family.

She suspected that Shen Zhaojiang was the one who did it. In order to avoid suspicion, he deliberately kidnapped his daughter Wen Wanying.

Unexpectedly, Shen Zhaojiang's face darkened immediately after she finished speaking. He sat down without saying a word, and after a long while, he said coldly, "After something like this happened, I am furious more than anyone else. No matter how much my husband and I dote on Yao'er, we would never dare to go against the Second Prince and the Queen's wishes and send her away. Your Wen family is wealthy and powerful, and no one would hold you accountable for such a thing. We, the Shen family, know we don't have the ability to do that, so we naturally dare not pretend to obey but secretly disobey. As for why this happened, you ask me, and I want to ask you."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhao was also annoyed. She stood up and slammed her hand on the table. "Shen Zhaojiang, please explain clearly. What do you mean you want to ask me too? What do you want to ask me? Is this result caused by me? Don't forget, this is your house now, in your Shen Mansion. We planned such a small matter, but it was destroyed right under your nose, and my daughter suffered such a great loss. Let me ask you, what's wrong with you? I haven't even asked you for an explanation for what happened in your family. Why are you so angry with me?"

Originally, Shen Zhaojiang was still full of rage, but now that he saw her throwing a tantrum, he suddenly cooled down. "That matter is only known between you and me. I'm sure there are no loopholes here, but don't I have to ask you? I didn't say you did it, I just wanted you to check if there are any problems with the people around you."

Zhao also took the opportunity to stand up and walked between the two to mediate. "It's already happened, we can't panic. This situation is strange no matter how you look at it. Yao'er and Wanying suddenly disappeared while using the restroom, which is not right in itself. What's hateful is that the girls were also drugged. By the time they wake up, it will be too late. Now the most important thing for us to do is not complain and blame each other, but to find the mastermind behind this and fight back!"

"Fight back? How?" Da Zhao suppressed her anger and said unhappily, "I've been investigating for a long time, but I still have no clue. Who can I find to fight back?"

Zhao sat beside her and said slowly, "Sister, you're so angry that you might have forgotten one thing. What was the purpose of our banquet originally?"

Mrs. Zhao casually said, "Of course it's for the Second Prince. If he hadn't asked for a suitable reason and occasion, would I be willing to attend the banquet right after returning to the capital? I'd be exhausted."

Zhao said, "Yes, it's prepared for the Second Prince, but who is the Second Prince coming for?"

Mrs. Zhao's eyes widened suddenly, "Shen Li?"

Just after she said these two words, she suddenly realized something, covered her mouth, and looked at Zhao and Shen Zhaojiang in disbelief, "Oh my God, it can't be..."

She suddenly thought of Madam Yao.

The same method, the same smokescreen, and the same trick was used against him!

This scene is so similar!

"Could it be Shen Li?" Mrs. Zhao slowly leaned back in her chair. "If it's really her, that's too scary. She's so capable at such a young age. What will she be capable of in the future?"

"She probably doesn't have that much power herself," Shen Zhaojiang said, his mind also confused and unable to make sense of it. "Last time, I suspected she had someone protecting her, so I was very cautious in who I invited this time. I thought this would screen out her helpers, but now it seems that my efforts were in vain. She has not lost any helpers, and this time they are even more ruthless. She directly attacked on three fronts, plotting against Miss Wen and Yao'er at the same time, and even toying with the Second Prince. What kind of person is she? How could she be so powerful?"

"Could it be the person Fang Yao left for her before leaving Beijing?" Da Zhao also calmed down and couldn't help asking.

"That shouldn't be the case," Shen Zhaojiang said. "I checked it last time. It wasn't Fang Yao's help. Fang Yao has always looked down on me and was too lazy to set up such a big scheme to monitor my family. Besides, Fang Yao would at most release Yao'er and leave the Second Prince to fend for himself in the water. He definitely wouldn't send Yao'er back in. Even if he did, given his temper, he'd just throw me in the water."

Actually, he understood Fang Yao's frankness quite well.

"If it's not Fang Yao? Then who could it be? She just returned to the capital from her farm in the countryside and has no connections at all. If they didn't have a life-or-death relationship, who would continue to do her such a big favor?" Mrs. Zhao muttered to herself, then suddenly remembered something. "Someone once said she was a spy. Could that be true?"

Shen Zhaojiang glanced at Zhao with displeasure, "She was the one who spread the rumor. Besides, Fang Yao and Guan Yonghou are not fools. If Li'er is really a spy, how could she have escaped their sight? It's impossible."

Da Zhao slumped down in frustration, muttering, "It's neither this nor that. It can't be her, right? Unless she's a deity, how could she have such great abilities?"

This reminded Zhao Shi immediately. She lifted her scalp and went to the elder Zhao Shi to show her hair. "To be honest, sister, I've been wearing a wig these days. A few days ago, someone suddenly knocked on the door in the middle of the night. When the master went out to ask someone to check, Shen Li suddenly appeared in front of me. She stretched out her hands to grab my neck and almost strangled me to death. That's not all. She scolded me and cut off my hair."

Thinking about it now, she is still terrified. She almost cried when she talked about it. "When the master came in, she disappeared in an instant. I quickly took people to her yard to check. She was actually sleeping and was very angry when she was woken up. The master said that it might be someone else who disguised themselves as Shen Li, but I still think it was her. How could someone disguise themselves so that even the voice and eyes are exactly the same?"

Mrs. Zhao was stunned.

How could such a thing actually happen? Shen Li was such a skilled martial artist that she could suddenly appear and disappear, and she even cut her sister's hair?

"Has my brother-in-law told my father about this? This is too strange. The Shen family is a civil servant's residence. There are only servants and guards in the mansion. On weekdays, they guard the house and fight petty thieves, but if a real expert comes, it will be enough to fill their teeth."

"Go and talk to him," Shen Zhaojiang said, "Father doesn't care. He thinks my husband and I are treating Li'er badly, so he lets us solve it ourselves, and the matter will be left unresolved."

"If we weren't investigating the mastermind behind this today, I wouldn't have wanted to tell my sister about this," Zhao said bitterly as she fixed her wig. "It's not something to be proud of, and it can't be covered up."

Mrs. Zhao frowned. "Whether this person is Shen Li or not, you two have to be careful. This man is so bold that he even dares to plot against the princes? He clearly doesn't take the royal family seriously. What else would he not dare to do?"

Zhao's face was gloomy, and she said in a surprised manner, "No matter who it was, the two accidents were caused by Shen Li. That person must be protecting her. Such a big thing happened in the mansion, but she was not affected at all. She was still in the mood to feed the fish. I heard that she was sitting in the garden pavilion enjoying the breeze. She was very comfortable."
