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

Xiao Zhao's face was filled with dark clouds. If there were knives in her eyes, Banxia would have been shot all over her body with holes.

Banxia was not afraid of her either. Now that both sides had torn their faces apart, no one dared to mess with Shen Li's status in the mansion, not to mention that they were originally enemies.

When enemies meet, they are naturally jealous of each other.

Seeing that Xiao Zhao didn't say anything, and the pearls and jade on her body still showed her wealth, Banxia thought of the years when the late madam was driven crazy by them, and especially thought of the miserable scene when the late madam's body was fished out of the river in the middle of winter, and she was filled with resentment.

Now is not the same as when she first came to Beijing. Not only does she have the support of the general, but even the palace praises her highly and has arranged a marriage for her with the eldest prince. From now on, Shen Zhaojiang and Xiao Zhao will have to bow respectfully whenever they see the girl.

The more Banxia thought about it, the more confident she felt. When facing Xiao Zhao, the enemy who killed the late lady, she didn't want to let her have an easy time.

So, just as Madam Zhou frowned and said to her, "After all, the Madam was married to the master in a grand ceremony. Even if there were some misunderstandings earlier, it is the masters' business. It is not your place as a maid to speak nonsense. If this gets out, people will not only say that you are clever, but also that you are not easy to discipline. It will bring shame to your master. I advise you to keep your mouth shut."

Banxia immediately laughed coldly, a smile that was a little creepy. "If I'm not mistaken, the lady you're talking about forced our lady out by cheating on her and then slandering her. As fate would have it, she's actually been caught cheating, and you have the nerve to say it was a misunderstanding? Do you really think everyone else is blind? There were more than one person who saw her with that scoundrel at the time. Your old lady was so angry that she's even walking in circles. What else do you have to deny?"

"Besides, does it really matter now? Everyone knows what they should know, and it's almost shameful. A cheating man isn't afraid of being laughed at, so why should our girl be afraid? If you're afraid, go see your girl. She's almost going crazy with fear. Oh, I'm really looking forward to it. If she goes crazy, it means God can't bear it and is here to seek justice for our lady."

"Oh, by the way, have you seen your young master? Yes, yes, that young master who snaps his fingers and runs around with his bare bottom. Hehehe, I heard that his antidote was lost by the Madam. Oh my God, you don't know, when I heard the news, I laughed so hard that my stomach hurt and tears came out. What's that called? Oh, yes, it's called "you reap what you sow." Isn't that what it means? Never mind, it doesn't matter whether it is or not. The important thing is that he will never recover in this lifetime."

"Congratulations, madam! Congratulations, madam! You've been causing harm to others your whole life, and now you've finally hit yourself in the foot. Does it hurt? Hehe, of course it hurts, and you deserve it. Pah, that disgusting thing has stained my eyes. I need to go back and wash them. Those of you who are watching the fun should stop watching. Hurry and bring some water over to rinse the area where that filthy thing stepped on. Are you waiting for that filthy smell to get to you?"

After saying these words, Banxia spat at Xiao Zhao again, then turned around with the stick in his hand and walked away in a show of force.

Xiao Zhao was so angry that the muscles on her face kept shaking, her head was buzzing, and her blood almost burst out of her crown.

There was no other thought in his mind except for one: to kill Shen Li, he must kill Shen Li.

She is also a person who does what she says.

When she saw her daughter, her haggard appearance once again stimulated her hatred, so on the same day, she sent a message to Da Zhao through Nanny Zhou, asking her to help find the killer.

Regardless of the relationship between Da Zhao and Lord Wen, Da Zhao's position as the head wife of the Jiangnan Weaving Factory is as solid as a rock.

With this identity, and being far away from the capital, and not under the supervision of her father, Prime Minister Zhao, her courage and methods are more extraordinary and vicious than those of others.

Things like what her younger sister Xiao Zhao had encountered recently seemed to her to be pure cowardice.

I've been framed and no one believes what I say. What else can I say?

Whoever harms me should just be killed.

So, upon receiving the message from Little Zhao, Big Zhao smiled and said to the person sent by Nanny Zhou, "Go back and tell your wife that I know and ask her to wait for my good news."

After the visitor left, she turned around and said to Wen Wanying, "You should learn from this too. Don't be like your aunt, who almost lost her life before she realized it. There's only one truth in everything, and that is that you don't have to argue about whose fault it is. As long as it's not good for you, just let the other person die."

Wen Wanying helped her sit down, nodded obediently, and said, "I understand, mother, are you really going to help my aunt find the killer? My aunt is in that state now. What if the matter is leaked and she denies it?"

Da Zhao patted the back of her hand and snorted coldly, "Mother didn't expect your aunt to take any responsibility, let alone leak it. Mother has been dealing with this group of people for so many years. They helped me deal with your father's skinny horses and the bastards they gave birth to. As long as the money is in place, there is nothing I can't do. Even if your aunt didn't come to find me, I was going to ask them to kill Shen Li."

Wen Wanying shook her head when she heard this and said, "That's nothing. If you can only kill these small fish and shrimps, you can't be considered capable."

Mrs. Zhao sneered and said, "But she's not just a small fry. She even helped your father kill his political enemies and escaped unscathed. Otherwise, would your father have allowed mother to come to the capital and bring back most of the family fortune?"

She was silent for a moment, as if considering what to say.

"Let's talk about Shen Li. It's so rare that the Queen is in trouble and the Second Prince is at a disadvantage. People outside say that the Third Prince has noble character and a good reputation among the officials. He has a great chance of winning the position of Crown Prince. Mother thinks so too. She even sent a letter to your father asking him to help the Third Prince build connections."

"Just when I thought it was a sure thing, I didn't expect the Emperor to actually grant the eldest prince and Shen Li a marriage. This has caused the tone in the court to change again. Several wives of officials who usually drink tea with my mother are speculating about the Emperor's intentions. Some are privately saying that the Emperor might make the eldest prince the Crown Prince. Others are saying that the eldest prince is unlearned and unfit for important tasks, and that the Emperor doesn't dare to hand over the court to him. In short, there are all kinds of rumors. As a result, the Third Prince's position as Crown Prince is somewhat uncertain."

"Your father is usually unreliable, but he can still distinguish between near and far in matters like this. I just received a letter from him recently, and it also said that Shen Li must not be allowed to live again. Mother originally wanted to kill the eldest prince as well, but the group of people she found said that they have principles for taking on jobs, and the first one is not to kill royal family members or make enemies with the royal family. So let's just focus on Shen Li."

"As long as Shen Li is killed, there will be no such thing as the eldest prince marrying into the general's mansion. How can the eldest prince compete with the third prince for the position of crown prince? As long as you help the third prince to take the throne, you will be the crown princess, the future queen. Whoever dares to stand in your way, mother will clean them out for you..."

The door curtain was lifted, and a maid came in, carrying tea. She bowed cautiously and said, "Madam, Madam Zhuang said that the Prime Minister sent someone to tell you and the young lady not to go out for the next few days. He said that you should be careful that the Second Prince can't find the Second Aunt and take his anger out on you and the young lady."

Wen Wanying frowned and looked the girl up and down with a sinister look in her eyes. "What did you hear?"

The maid had just put down the teacup when she heard the words and fell to her knees with a fright, her face pale. "I didn't hear anything. I was just about to bring tea when Madam Zhuang went to the front yard to find someone for something, so she asked me to pass on a message. If you don't believe me, you can ask Madam Zhuang when she's done."

"Alright, don't scare her. She's Madam Zhuang's goddaughter, so she won't be talkative," Mrs. Zhao patted her daughter's arm, glanced at the maid, and said, "Go down. Wait for Madam Zhuang to come back and have her come over to answer."

"Yes." The girl quickly got up from the ground and walked out.

The eldest Zhao then said to Wen Wanying, "Mother asked Madam Zhuang to contact those people. There should be news in the next few days. The eldest prince has gone to the northern border, so he is not in the capital, which makes it convenient for us to act. Recently, Shen Li has either been visiting her uncle or taking a group of idiots to the mountains to look for insects. This is the perfect time to take action. When the matter is settled, mother will send a letter to the third prince, asking him to remember this favor and add weight to your future entry into the imperial harem. Don't worry, with mother here, no one can take your position as queen."
