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

People passing by were stunned when they saw Xiao Chenze standing on the side of the road, wishing their eyes could grow on him.

Xiao Chenze was dressed in plain clothes, with a cold face and a serious look. Not only did this not scare away other people's gazes, but it made them look even more intently.

"Where did this young man come from? He's so handsome."

A young woman's voice whispered.

"Chunhua, you're not falling for me again, are you? Hahaha."

The oxcart drove away with the laughter of the crowd.

Xiao Chenze's face turned even darker.

"What's wrong? Who smeared soot on you?" Shen Li suddenly appeared from behind him and asked with a smile.

Xiao Chenze's expression instantly became aggrieved, and he stared at her as if accusing her.

"No, no, no, don't look at me like that," Shen Li put down the things in her hand and said with a smile, "Who made you look so good? Haha, you said you are the same, even with disguise you are still so eye-catching. Look at me, I just look like an ordinary person when I dress up, I don't attract bees and butterflies wherever I go. Otherwise, why do they say that when you go out, it's safer to look ordinary."

Listen to the words that come out of her mouth, such as the general public and a sense of security.

She also said that she is not a demon or a god?

Humph, liar.

Xiao Chenze looked at her aggrievedly, "Please make up for me again, otherwise how can I go to your farm?"

"What are you trying to change? No need," Shen Li said, "You don't need to show up, just stay in the 'cage'. Even I can't see them with my true face."

"Why?" Xiao Chenze was puzzled.

"Because I'm still in the capital, how could I suddenly appear here?"

Xiao Chenze understood instantly.

She was afraid that the news would leak out and her cousin would be in greater danger.

He glanced at Shen Li several times, but didn't dare tell her that in the capital, Ding Lan, who had disguised himself to help cover up for her, had died from a poison dart shot by a killer.

......

Beijing.

In the General of Cavalry's mansion, the old lady suddenly fell ill and fell into a coma.

The Empress Dowager personally sent Nanny Zheng to visit. Seeing the old lady lying lifeless on the bed as if all her bones and muscles had been pulled out, Nanny Zheng felt a pang of pain in her heart and tears just flowed down her face.

"Alas, to be honest, the Empress Dowager has also fallen ill," said Madam Zheng, wiping her tears. "Who would have thought that such a good child would be gone just like that..."

Lan's tears had not dried yet, and she couldn't help but cover her face and cry when she heard the words.

"The Empress Dowager's heart disease has recurred, and the imperial physician quickly gave her medicine. The medicine was left by Miss Shen," Zheng Ma's eyes moistened as she murmured, "She even gave the prescription to Chief Physician Wang and asked the Imperial Hospital to make more medicine according to the prescription and keep it on hand. She said that if something happened to her in the future, the Empress Dowager would not be without emergency medicine. Everyone knew she was joking, but they didn't expect her words to come true."

Speaking of this, thinking of the pills Shen Li made specially for her, and listening to Lan's suppressed crying, Zheng Ma's tears came out again.

Lan suppressed her grief and hurried to persuade her, "Madam, please don't cry. Please thank the Empress Dowager on my behalf. Thank you for your concern. It's Li'er who is unlucky. This child... this child..."

She couldn't speak anymore.

She had just gotten engaged to the eldest prince and was still happy for Shen Li, but then he passed away.

"One of the assassins was killed and dragged back," said Madam Zheng. "Have you found any clues?"

"No," Lan shook her head, holding back tears. "There are no clues at all. This group of people also had a well-prepared escape route. It's obvious that this wasn't a spur-of-the-moment killing."

That is to say, it was either directed at Fang Yao or the eldest prince. There had to be a reason that the killer hated.

These things have spread all over the place and are no longer a secret.

"Don't worry," Nanny Zheng said. "The Emperor has already ordered someone to investigate this matter and has also sent someone to the northern border to deliver a letter to the Crown Prince. He should be back soon, and he will personally investigate Miss Shen's death."

Outside, low sobbing sounds came from a distance.

"It's my daughter," Lan said with tears in her eyes, "Ever since Li'er left, my daughter hasn't eaten or drunk anything and has been crying every day."

"We need to persuade her," Madam Zheng said with a sorrowful expression. "The old lady is already like this. We young people have to stand up, even if we have to force ourselves. Otherwise, who will give the old lady the courage to let her live again?"

"I know," Lan said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Madam."

The two talked for a while, and Nanny Zheng left the general's mansion as she was thinking of returning to the palace to report.

"Shen Li" was shot dead in the street and died instantly.

There happened to be a coffin shop next door. Cui Lan'er immediately bought the most expensive and best boards in the shop, put Ding Lan in it, and hired several strong young men to carry the coffin back to the Shen Mansion.

But he was stopped at the gate of Shen's mansion.

It was Shen Yao who stopped them.

She was so happy.

God is really merciful. I never dreamed that Shen Li would die.

When the news was delivered to the mansion, Shen Zhaojiang was still in the yamen. The old lady had suffered from rheumatism and could not get out of bed. The person in charge of the mansion now was Wan from the second house.

Even for Fang Yao's sake, she didn't dare to neglect Shen Li.

So when she heard that Shen Li's coffin was on the way into the mansion, she hurriedly ordered people to open the door and personally led people to stand outside the door to greet them.

It was not for any other reason. She was greedy for money and stole Fang's things. Shen Li just asked her to return them. Even if the amount was not enough, she did not make things difficult for her.

What's more, she has the support of Lan and Fang Yao, who can help her win back against Xiao Zhao.

In addition, after Xiao Zhao was divorced, it was Shen Li who specifically asked Wan to take charge of the household in front of Shen Zhaojiang.

Just for these reasons, she should give Shen Li some respect in the end.

She is a bit greedy, but not completely bad.

What's more, Shen Li is gone, and Fang Yaoke is still high and mighty. Who dares to provoke him?

Just because she thought this way, some people were stupid enough not to understand this truth.

Shen Yao brought out all the maids in her yard, and as the eldest daughter of the family, she ordered the servants in the mansion to come out with sticks and help her prevent Shen Li's coffin from entering the mansion.

Mrs. Wan didn't allow the servants to go out, but Shen Yao retorted.

"Second Aunt, you are only temporarily in charge of this house. You don't really think you have the final say, do you? Perhaps you forgot one thing. When I get married, the Second Prince will not allow my mother to stay outside. When my mother returns, you will still have to return the power of the family to me. Why offend our eldest wife for a dead person? What do you think?"

She screamed in a shrill voice, and the servants dared not disobey her. So, a group of people with weapons gathered outside the Shen Mansion.

Seeing that a farce was about to take place, the crowd of onlookers surrounded the scene in three layers, which made Wan anxious. She quickly sent someone to deliver a letter to Shen Zhaojiang and Fang Yao.
