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

The old prime minister's face turned pale and he almost fainted.

I never expected that my daughter could do such a cruel and vicious thing.

When someone said that it was his daughter who did what happened to Fang, he was furious and demoted the person who said this to a remote position.

Now it seems that I have inadvertently become the person who condones my daughter's evil deeds.

"There's no need to investigate. The families of these two servants have already left the capital, and even they were abducted from the Marquis of Guanyong's mansion last night. Their whereabouts are unknown," the old prime minister said weakly, barely able to stand, supported by a servant. "I just came from the Marquis of Guanyong's mansion too. The person behind this must be incredibly capable to have taken them away from the mansion. You won't be able to find out with your skills, so there's no need to bother. Come with me to the study. I have something to ask you."

The news of the master's return home soon reached Shen Li's ears. Shen Li was curious and told the maids not to disturb her. She went into the house and hid in the space again.

With her mind urged, the space quickly brought her to the study in the front yard.

In the study, the old prime minister was talking to Shen Zhaojiang.

The old prime minister asked, "Did you know about these things she did?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhaojiang quickly waved his hands and said, "My son-in-law really doesn't know anything. If he knew, how could he let her do this?"

The old Prime Minister said in a heavy tone, "There's been a lot of talk outside. Initially, everyone said it was Madam Yao's business, but I didn't take it seriously. It wasn't until today when rumors started to spread that it was about Miss Shen and the Shen family's second wife that I started to take it to heart. I'll go to the Marquis' Mansion and ask if Marquis Guanyong has beaten me out with a stick."

Shen Zhaojiang wiped the sweat off his forehead and didn't dare to respond.

The old prime minister continued, "The Chongguo Mansion is the Empress's mother's family, and with the Second Prince here, I've always avoided getting too close to them to avoid suspicion. Now, with something like this happening, no matter how I explain it, others will assume the Prime Minister's Mansion is tied to the Chongguo Mansion..."

At this point, a surge of anger surged in his heart. The old prime minister swept the teacup on the table to the ground and said angrily: "Asshole!"

The housekeeper and maids standing outside the door were so frightened that they didn't even dare to breathe.

The old prime minister said, "If this matter is not handled properly, it will become a situation where the Guanyong Marquis Mansion and the General of the Cavalry Mansion will jointly deal with our Prime Minister Mansion and the Chongguo Mansion."

"I never participate in the struggle for the throne. The Duke of Chongguo is willing to cooperate with my son to humiliate Miss Shen. Aren't they just thinking of using this as a handle to force me to side with the Queen and the Second Prince?"

"But they never dreamed they would be outmaneuvered. As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Well done, well done!"

The butler brought people up and brought back the brewed tea.

When only the father-in-law and son-in-law were left in the study, the old prime minister stared at Shen Zhaojiang for a long time, until sweat broke out on Shen Zhaojiang's forehead.

"You are well-educated. Even though you came from a poor family and had such a scandal in the past, I will not hold it against you and will marry my daughter to your family. But I later heard that the Fang family incident was a conspiracy..."

His eyes were sharp as he stared at Shen Zhaojiang, whose gaze was darting around. "I used to think that was nonsense, but now, just now, after learning that what happened in the Marquis' Mansion was related to my son, I suddenly dare not think too much about it. I'm afraid that if I think about it too much, the answer will make me ashamed to face others!"

Shen Zhaojiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and stammered, "No, it's not a setup..."

The old prime minister raised his hand to stop him from saying anything more. "Whether it is true or not, you know it very well. If it is, it only means that I am blind. The most vicious thing is that my own family did not even notice it. I have lived so many years in vain."

"There's no such thing as an impenetrable wall. I came here today to warn you. If you do something sinful, don't think Fang Yao won't find out, and don't think Miss Shen won't remember anything..."

Upon hearing him say this, Shen Zhaojiang quickly said, "Li'er was only six years old at the time and didn't know anything. Besides, she was a little stupid. Father-in-law, don't worry about it..."

"She's stupid? I think you're more like stupid. Let me ask you, how many things have happened in the mansion since she came back? When has she ever suffered a loss?"

"I think your position as the Dali Temple Minister is just so-so. Duke Chongguo gave you this position because he wanted to give me a good advantage and make me side with the Second Prince. Otherwise, how could he look down on you?"

"I'm going to tell you straight out today. I only recognize the Emperor as my master. No one else can do anything they want, but don't try to force me to do anything."

"They are trying to use this incident at the Marquis' Mansion to blackmail and manipulate me into helping the Second Prince, but they are miscalculating. As for what immoral things you two have done, don't even think of using my name to clean up the mess. I don't care, whether you live or die, Fang Yao or anyone else can seek revenge on you."

Shen Zhaojiang's face turned pale and he lost his mind for a moment.

The old prime minister stood up and straightened his clothes, snorted coldly, and said, "You've read a lot of books, but you've become a blind man with open eyes. You have the nerve to call Miss Shen stupid? What a joke."

"Two powerful gangs conspired to set a trap for her, yet she managed to escape unscathed. How dare you call her stupid? How could I have been so blind that I didn't see how foolish you, Shen Zhaojiang, were?"

"And the people behind Miss Shen are not someone you can afford to offend. What kind of person could quietly take away all the servants of the two families and send them out of the capital without anyone being able to trace their whereabouts? Think about it yourself."

"Whether you want to understand or not, you all should keep your tails between your legs and stop calculating against others. Be careful not to end up getting yourself into trouble."

After saying these words angrily, the old prime minister turned away.

Shen Li in the space thought the old man was so handsome.

Although this old man is terrifyingly shrewd, he is not unreasonable.

Then she saw her scumbag father, whose face was so pale with fear that he sent the old prime minister away and sat in the study for a long time.

"housekeeper."

"Yes, the old slave is here."

"Send someone to the Duke of Chongguo's Mansion to see why the Madam hasn't returned yet."

"Yes."

The housekeeper hurried downstairs to make arrangements, and after a while he returned to the study and ordered someone to remove the tea tray. This time when he entered the study, he closed the door.

"Master, I have something to tell you, but I don't know whether I should tell you or not."

"It's urgent, there's nothing to hold back on."

"I was standing outside the door just now, and I heard a little of what the old Prime Minister said. Speaking of the young lady's ability, this old servant suddenly remembered something."

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Some people outside say that our eldest daughter is... a spy."

Shen Zhaojiang stared at him with unclear eyes: "What do you mean?"

"This incident must have been a conspiracy between Madam and the Yao family. No one could have escaped this, but the eldest daughter cleanly exonerated herself. After returning, she didn't say a word, as if nothing had happened. This kind of mentality and ability are definitely not something that ordinary people can achieve. This old servant suddenly thought of the rumors about spies, and I felt a little scared. What if the eldest daughter is really a spy? Master, if this is exposed in the future, the whole clan will be exterminated."
