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

Just as the maid was about to leave, a maid outside said to the person in the window, "Second Madam, the eldest daughter has not been home these days. She was called over by General Fang. I heard that she is helping the general raise dogs with the daughters of the Fang family and the Cui Yushi family."

"Raise a dog?" When Mrs. Wan heard this, she felt so sorry.

Just when he was thinking about who to send to bring Shen Li back, the old prime minister and Shen Zhaojiang came back one after another.

"Go in and see what's going on. I'll be waiting here," the old prime minister said coldly to Shen Zhaojiang in the courtyard. "It's that evil creature's fault. I'm absolutely not biased. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't tolerate anyone throwing dirty water on her or slandering her!"

The news had spread like wildfire outside, so he had to come in person.

He knew that his daughter had done many wrong things, but she was his daughter and he could deal with her however he wanted, but he would not allow others to bully her.

Was Shen Zhaojiang looking for a reason to divorce his wife? Or was his second wife framing his daughter?

No, Shen Zhaojiang is not that stupid. How could he accuse himself of being a cuckold?

That's not right. Wasn't that how he treated Fang back then?

The old prime minister's mind was full of confusion and he couldn't make sense of it at all.

Shen Zhaojiang entered the room with a gloomy face. Wan had already stopped screaming. Seeing him come in, she pointed at the two people on the bed who were still unconscious and said anxiously, "Uncle, look, my sister-in-law is cheating on you. She is so bold. She dares to fool around in the house in broad daylight. It's obvious that she relies on her family's influence and doesn't take you seriously. Fortunately, someone heard the noise and secretly told me, so I came to catch her red-handed. Otherwise, I don't know how many times she would have gotten away with it..."

"Shut up." Shen Zhaojiang shouted angrily, scaring Wan so much that she choked back the rest of her words.

"Let me ask you, who told you that?" Shen Zhaojiang's face was gloomy, and he didn't even look at Xiao Zhao.

Wan was frightened by her yelling and stammered, "Just, just a letter shot into my dressing table."

It was the same method as last time when someone told her that Xiao Zhao had stuffed a letter into a bottle in the general's mansion to frame her. Both times, a letter was shot in with an arrow.

"Where's the letter?" Shen Zhaojiang stretched out his hand, "Give it to me."

Wan hurriedly took it out from her sleeve pocket and handed it over.

Shen Zhaojiang took a quick look at it and found that it was almost identical to his own letter. It seemed that it was done by the same group of people.

He didn't even need to look to know that Xiao Zhao was being plotted against.

The smell in the room told him that the man on the bed was of humble origin. Xiao Zhao had always been very picky and it was impossible for her to hang out with such a man.

The old prime minister said coldly outside, "What exactly is going on? Have you figured it out?"

Wan was gloating over the misfortune. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Shen Zhaojiang staring at her with cold eyes. She couldn't help but feel a sense of fear in her heart, "Why is my uncle looking at me like that?"

Shen Zhaojiang lowered his eyes and said casually, "There's nothing to do here. Sister-in-law, please go back first."

Wan pointed at the two people on the bed in surprise, "How can they be okay? The two of them... the two of them..."

Shen Zhaojiang stared at her again with his cold eyes.

Her throat choked. Yes, her husband has returned and he hasn't said anything yet. Why is she so anxious?

Wan hesitated, took a step back and bowed, "Well, I'll go back first. My mother-in-law just fainted from anger, I have to go over and take a look."

Shen Zhaojiang did not respond. His second brother had been assigned to an external post not long ago and was not at home. If he had known earlier, he should have asked him to take Wan with him so that she would not stay at home and cause trouble every day.

The old prime minister saw that Shen Zhaojiang did not respond, and instead, the Shen family's second wife, Wan, hurried out with her head lowered. He felt that something was wrong and asked sternly, "What's going on in there?"

Shen Zhaojiang rubbed his brows tiredly, "Please wait for a moment, father-in-law, while I have someone clean up for my wife."

The old prime minister stopped talking and saw Shen Zhaojiang say something to the servant outside the window. The servant ran out and brought Mother Li over in a moment.

As soon as she entered the house, Mother Li fell to her knees.

Nanny Zhou was sent by Xiao Zhao to guard near the palace gate to see if Shen Li was taken into the palace by the Queen's people. She was not allowed to leave until Shen Li came out.

Mother Li was sent to the Wen family to confirm the conflict between Wen Wanying and Yao Jingyi, the eldest daughter of the Chongguo Mansion.

Duke Chongguo was demoted to a commoner, and Yao Jingyi suddenly became a commoner from the daughter of the high and mighty Duke's Mansion. Naturally, her status could not be compared with the second daughter of the Shen family.

The Queen dealt with Shen Li and fell out with Fang Yao.

The second prince, as the queen's legitimate son, will definitely be implicated.

At this time, the second prince needs the Yue family to help him so that he can be invincible.

Shen Yao has the support of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so no matter what, she is better than Yao Jingyi.

She was afraid that the Empress would protect Yao Jingyi because she was her niece, so Xiao Zhao was eager to ask Wen Wanying to help prove that Yao Jingyi had disappeared overnight. With this evidence, she could either threaten Yao Jingyi to ask for her own divorce, or spread the news widely and use public opinion to force the Empress to abandon Yao Jingyi.

As a result, Madam Li went to the Wen residence and explained her purpose. However, Wen Wanying said, "I have always been good friends with Yao Jingyi. I don't remember any weaknesses in her that I could exploit. Madam Li, please go back and tell my aunt. When Wanying remembers something, she can report it to her."

Mother Li came back disappointed.

As soon as they left the Wen Mansion, Da Zhao asked Wen Wanying why she refused to help her aunt. Wen Wanying said, "Mother, you know that the reason why my aunt was so anxious to ask her to testify was simply because she wanted to take advantage of the incident at the Chongguo Mansion to pounce on the fallen dog, drag down Yao Jingyi, and help Shen Yao take the position, so that the Second Prince can legitimately rely on the Prime Minister's Mansion and receive the support of my grandfather. The calculations are so loud that everyone can hear them. But mother, have you ever thought about who is most likely to take the position if the Second Prince steps down?"

Da Zhao's heartbeat quickened. "The eldest prince and the third prince?"

"It should be the Third Prince, your future son-in-law," Wen Wanying said firmly. "The First Prince has always had a bad reputation. He only has the status of the late Queen's legitimate son, but his performance shows that he has no achievements or value. Apart from the Chu family far away, no one is optimistic about him and no one is willing to support him."

"The Third Prince is different. Mother must have inquired about this. Not only is he considered calm and steady by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, but he's also the most compassionate, kind, and gentle among the princes in the eyes of the ministers. Didn't some people privately say that if the Third Prince became Crown Prince, he would be a diligent and benevolent ruler? Mother knows all this, so why are you asking me why I'm not helping my aunt?"

The eldest Zhao quickly reached out to cover her mouth and whispered, "Keep your voice down, Ancestor. Those private conversations must not be heard by others. Be careful not to cause trouble for the Third Prince."

"My daughter knows, don't worry, mother. I'm telling you. It's fine if only the two of us know. Even father doesn't need to know."
