"You asked me why I trust General Fang. I've already told you. Are you really not going to tell me what you know?"

Xiao Chenze put down the teacup and kept his eyes on Shen Li.

Under the dim light, Shen Li's face seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze as thin as a cicada's wing, hazy and dreamy.

The dream he had suddenly came to his mind, his body tensed up, and his eyes looked at Shen Li even hotter.

Shen Li lightly tapped her forehead twice, as if she had made up her mind, and said cheerfully, "Okay. It's okay to tell you. I accidentally overheard Zhao and... my father talking. She said that the Chongguo Mansion has started to slander my uncle. Not only did they send someone from Xiqiang to say that my cousin is a spy, but they also wanted to put some secret letters in the bottles and jars in my uncle's house."

"It was Zhao who helped them hide the letter, because those bottles and jars were the dowry that Second Madam Shen gave to my mother as compensation. Zhao hated Second Madam Shen and hid them in the dowry, hoping that my uncle would find them and make him misunderstand that Second Madam Shen was unwilling to compensate and wanted to frame him."

"Of course, they hoped even more that my uncle wouldn't find out. They even prepared someone to help my uncle identify the bottle. The trap is one link after another, and they've thought it through very carefully..."

Xiao Chenze chuckled and said, "What a shame you heard everything. I was wondering why you weren't surprised at all. I guess you've already made every possible preparation to deal with them, right?"

Shen Li listened to the noise outside the window and said calmly, "It's hard to say whether it's perfect or not. Anyway, I wrote a letter to Madam Shen Er, and she quickly asked my aunt to go out for a private chat. Madam Shen Er didn't know that my aunt already knew about this matter, so she asked my aunt to help find the letter and secretly give it to her. After my people found out that she had the letter, they were so angry that they almost tore it up. In the end, they didn't tear it up. Guess where she hid it?"

Xiao Chenze looked at her with a sharp gaze, "How have you helped me?"

"He hid under the Second Prince's carriage."

"what!"

When these words came out, even Xiao Chenze was surprised, "How could she hide there?"

Shen Li smiled and said, "At first she hid in Shen Shaokun's yard, then for some reason she sneaked out and hid in Shen Yao's yard, then sneaked out again. I guess she was afraid that if the Shen family found out, it would implicate her own children, so she didn't dare to hide in the Shen family anymore."

"Thank goodness, Shen Zhaojiang, oh, my father, thankfully, he hosted a banquet at the mansion. Now, the letter in Second Madam Shen's hands has a place to go. My people have been keeping an eye on her because they're worried about the letter. I saw with my own eyes that she collaborated with the dowry nanny to hide the letter, which had already been wrapped in oil paper, under the Second Prince's carriage. As for why she hid it with the Second Prince instead of the Third Prince, perhaps she felt that since the Second Prince was the Queen's legitimate son, nothing earth-shattering would happen even if it was discovered."

At this point, she looked up at Xiao Chenze and said, "Actually, to be honest, you are the legitimate son of the emperor, the eldest son, but everyone's attention is on others, and they automatically pass you by. I really have to admire your ability to play the pig and eat the tiger. I learn a lesson from you."

"It's the same with you," Xiao Chenze smiled as he looked at Shen Li. The joy in his heart was like honey, filling his entire heart. "It's the same with Miss Shen. This prince admires you very much. Everyone says you are dull, ignorant, vulgar and inferior, but they don't know that you are actually a smart and strong girl, completely different from those ladies from noble families that this prince has met..."

"I wasn't originally from a high-class family. I grew up on a farm in the countryside."

"No, you didn't grow up on the farm." Xiao Chenze said.

Shen Li was in a trance and stared into his eyes. "Then tell me, where did I grow up?"

"You? You're..." Their eyes met, Xiao Chenze's heart pounding like a deer. "You grew up on some fairy mountain. You've been free and unrestrained since childhood."

So many of her words and actions are different from others, her medical skills are different from others, and even her demeanor is different from others.

She was the most unique girl he had ever met!

"Yes, there are many gods on the mountain where I live. They are very powerful." Shen Li laughed heartily, unable to contain himself. "Don't you dare offend me in the future, or I will ask my master to come down to earth and destroy your nest, turning you into a homeless vagrant."

After receiving help from Xiao Chenze one after another, Shen Li felt more and more relaxed in front of him, and her mood became happier when she saw him.

Xiao Chenze looked at her bright smile, which was cheerful, generous and unpretentious, and his heart was intoxicated.

"I won't become a homeless person. I will come and live with you. If your master doesn't compensate me, I will kidnap you and let them exchange you for silver."

Zi Su looked up in surprise and stared at Xiao Chenze blankly.

Oh my God, what did she hear?

The eldest prince actually showed this side of himself in front of the girl, as childish as a fool.

There was a thud outside the window and someone fell.

From the rooftop, Xu Yang's slow voice came in, "Master, everyone in their family is lying under the window eavesdropping on your conversation with Miss Shen. They also said that you must be attracted to their daughter. The stupidest girl wants to make a bet with others, saying that their daughter will definitely not be attracted to you. She bets one or two taels of silver."

As a secret guard obtained by Da Zhoushu, Xu Yang's hearing is quite good, not to mention that these people were not on guard against him when they were whispering.

"You're just quick-witted. A grown man, yet you still tell tales. You're a flatterer, huh." Banxia was angry because she was the stupidest person he was talking about. She said she wanted to bet with someone for one or two taels of silver. However, the others thought the amount was too little and refused to bet with her.

These swear words were taught to me by the girl. I didn’t expect them to come in handy today.

Shen Li felt a little embarrassed when she heard what Xu Yang said.

Without thinking, he said to the outside of the window, "Banxia, ​​if you don't practice martial arts well, I won't give you any dried meat tomorrow."

"No, young lady," Banxia shouted at the top of her voice, "I don't want to gamble anymore. I want to eat meat."

Not allowing her to eat meat is more painful than taking her life.

"If you're not practicing, what are you doing outside the window?"

"It's not that I don't practice, it's that those two can't handle a beating. It's only been a few days, and they're already exhausted. Just now, they couldn't even withstand a punch from me and died."

Then he added, "They're both dead."

Xiao Chenze touched his nose.

This is what people who grew up in the countryside would say.

rough.

Shen Li also touched his nose, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and said, "You treat them like sandbags every day, it's amazing that they can hold on for three days. Collect their corpses and hang them on the gate of the Wen Mansion."

Xiao Chenze just took a sip of tea and suddenly spat it out again. He choked and coughed continuously, and tears came out.

Did he hear it correctly?

The secret guard's body was sent back and hung on someone else's door.

Just that scene would definitely scare the Wen family half to death tomorrow.

I’m looking forward to it just thinking about it!
