After rebirth, I will be the royal aunt to the scumbag

Xue Jinruo was stunned for a moment, then immediately became energetic.

Xiaochun understood what she was thinking and rushed to open the door for someone. Xue Jinruo also stood up immediately.

"Xiao Yi, tell me." She asked quickly.

If we can find evidence of the interactions between Sheng Chengjie and Rou Ran, we can also find evidence of the Xue family's innocence.

Xiao Yi cupped his hands and said quickly: "Princess, when my subordinates were inquiring in the west of the city, they met a cook who once worked in the prince's house. She said personally that she had seen people from Rouran enter the house and she also cooked Central Plains dishes. After entertaining them, if we can find this cook as a witness, the prince will have nothing to say."

"Okay." Xue Jinruo quickly adjusted her makeup and said with a smile, "Then let's leave now."

"Princess, you can't be anxious. When your subordinates came back, they felt that someone was following them. It must be the prince's people. They must still be waiting outside the palace. If we go out rashly, we may fall into their hands. They will follow us by then. If we just reap the benefits, we will be even more passive." Xiao Yi stopped Xue Jinruo and said.

"Are you sure that the prince's people didn't see the cook?" She became anxious after hearing this, worried that the prince would do something to the cook, and the only clue would be cut off.

"No, I didn't feel like I was being targeted until I separated from the cook." Xiao Yi assured, patting his chest.

Xue Jinruo felt relieved after hearing this and decided to go to the west of the city to inquire about the news tomorrow morning.

……

The next morning, when it was just dawn, Xue Jinruo woke up suddenly, then woke up Xiao Yi and Xiaochun one after another, and the group rushed towards the west of the city non-stop.

They were cautious along the way, fearing that they would be discovered by the prince's people. They finally reached the west of the city, but there was no trace of Zhao Wang's family at all.

Upon seeing this, Xiaochun quickly asked around, but was dumbfounded.

"Zhao Wang, the blacksmith, and his family moved out in a hurry yesterday. I don't know what trouble they caused. Look, the family's meal is still on the table." A person who got up early When asked by Xiao, the old man pointed to a house in front of him and said.

Xiao Yi heard this and hurriedly took Xue Jinruo over to check it out. Sure enough, he found that the food from last night was still on the table, and there was even a steamed bun that had just been half-bitten. It seemed that it had been moved away in a hurry yesterday. .

Xue Jinruo sighed when he saw this and sat on the big bluestone on the roadside in vain. Now the only clue was broken.

Xiao Yize immediately knelt down and apologized: "Princess, it's all my fault. If I hadn't stopped you yesterday, maybe I could have kept them."

"I don't blame you," Xue Jinruo waved his hand and said, "The prince's people must have been waiting outside yesterday. There were many experts around him. If we had come yesterday, we might have killed them. Although they have escaped, their lives are still alive. At least it’s saved, which can be considered a blessing in misfortune.”

Xue Jinruo could only comfort himself in this way now. After all, there was nothing he could do about it.

Xiaochun also comforted Xue Jinruo, "Princess, there is no end to the road, let's just look forward."

Xue Jinruo glanced at Xiaochun, touched her head and walked towards the palace.

She was in a daze all the way, and she didn't even get on the carriage, so she walked all the way from the west of the city to the Regent's Palace. Xiaochun and Xiao didn't persuade her at all even though their words were almost worn out.

Although Xue Jinruo said it was okay, this was a great opportunity for the Xue family to make a comeback. If it slipped away under her nose, anyone else would be devastated.

When passing through the downtown area, he was almost hit by a carriage on the road. If Xiao Yi hadn't been protecting him desperately, Xue Jinruo would have been in trouble.

After rushing back to the Prince Regent's Mansion in such a state of confusion, Xue Jinruo still hadn't come to his senses, but he was covered in dirt.

As soon as he entered the door, he ran into Sheng Jingze. He asked suspiciously: "I heard that you went out before dawn, but did you get any valuable information?"

Unexpectedly, Xue Jinruo ignored him completely and walked straight past Sheng Jingze towards the mansion.

"I am talking to you." Sheng Jingze frowned slightly and his tone became impatient.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't blame the Princess, this is what happened..." Seeing this, Xiaochun hurriedly stepped forward to explain, telling everything that happened last night and this morning.

After hearing this, Sheng Jingze understood. He pointed at Xiao Yi and sighed, "You guys!"

"Please punish me, Your Majesty." Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi immediately knelt down to plead guilty.

Sheng Jingze, however, waved his hand and ignored him. Instead, he turned and looked in the direction Xue Jinruo was leaving and said, "Then I'll punish you to ask for more information. This time, you must be more cautious and use your brain more."

Xiao took the order as soon as he heard the words, and Xiaochun also stood up to say goodbye and ran to take care of Xue Jinruo.

Sheng Jingze stood in place and paced twice before going back to his room to rest.

That night, Xue Jinruo was lying on the bed with her eyes closed when she suddenly heard movement at the door, and then saw a figure flashing in under the hazy moonlight.

"Who?" Xue Jinruo shouted, then got out of bed and prepared to subdue the visitor.

But she didn't expect that person to know the layout of her house quite well. He came to her bed in a few steps without even knocking over a vase, and then pressed Xue Jinruo under him.

Xue Jinruo struggled for a moment, but he smelled a familiar smell in his nose, which was the smell of Sheng Jingze.

Xue Jinruo was still feeling angry. She always felt that if she had gone to bed last night, Zhao Wang's family would not have moved away.

It was her fault for thinking.

I was angry with myself in my heart, and even my attitude when I spoke became awkward.

She stretched out her hand to push Sheng Jingze's chest and asked angrily: "What are you doing here in the middle of the night? If the prince needs anything, he can go to the Feng Yue girl outside instead of coming to my house."

Sheng Jingze frowned.

Even though he knew why Xue Jinruo was acting like this today, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He took two deep breaths and still asked calmly: "As long as Zhao Wang's family is not dead, they will naturally be found. You are making trouble here now." Temper, what are you doing?"

"The prince found out that I was investigating today, so he would naturally silence the person." Xue Jinruo seemed to have taken a shot of gunpowder, "If I could have gone a day earlier, this matter would naturally not have happened."

"Our Xue family will naturally redress injustices."

She only blamed herself, but she didn't know why she was willing to use her full temper on Sheng Jingze.
