After scaring the people away, Jiang Xuening returned the whip in her hand to Uncle He, "Madam, please."

Mrs. Shen's legs were a little weak and she was helped into the car by Qing He. She was extremely uncomfortable along the way and basically did not dare to look at Jiang Xuening.

Jiang Xuening looked at her unceremoniously. On the day she was poisoned, Concubine Zuo made her kneel down as a punishment and specially kept her for the night.

She had already noticed something was wrong, but it was difficult to ask. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Shen would bump into her so soon.

The carriage was extremely silent. It was not until the carriage entered the side door that Mrs. Shen spoke, "Thank you, Princess, for what happened today."

Jiang Xuening nodded slightly, "Madam, you want to see your concubine, I'll take you there."

Mrs. Shen hesitated a little. After meeting Jiang Xuening's unyielding gaze, she squeezed the handkerchief tightly and nodded lightly.

I felt extremely bitter in my heart. Not long ago, she came to the door and was aggressive. I didn't expect that she would get retribution so soon.

Jiang Xuening led the people and walked calmly to Zuo Fei's yard.

Before anyone arrived, Concubine Zuo had already received the news and was very surprised, "Why did these two people get together..."

As soon as she ordered someone to set up the tea, the two came in.

Jiang Xuening strode over and sat down, "Nuo, I've brought a guest for you."

Mrs. Shen stood at the door in a dirty look, calling her by her given name in a somewhat embarrassed tone, "Wanyi..."

Changing one's maiden name is a sign of intimacy and weakness...

Concubine Zuo was surprised, but her face remained calm. She walked over and asked with concern, "Why did it happen like this? Are you injured..."

Then he turned around and told the maid to take Mrs. Shen down to change clothes.

It was really inappropriate to sit here dressed like this. Mrs. Shen quickly followed the maid and went to the next room to change clothes.

Concubine Zuo then asked, "What's going on?"

Jiang Xuening briefly explained the process of stopping Mrs. Shen's car. The left concubine frowned slightly and sighed, "What You Ning was worried about finally happened..."

Jiang Xuening's eyes flashed slightly, "Shen Youning, the eldest lady of the Shen family?"

Concubine Zuo nodded, "She and I are close friends. Before she got married, she specifically asked me to take care of Mrs. Shen."

In just a few words, Jiang Xuening had already gotten a clue. But now was not a good time to talk in depth, so she didn't say much.

Mrs. Shen quickly changed her clothes and came out. After sitting down, she hesitated to speak and felt very uneasy.

Jiang Xuening stood up with a wink, "Since the person has been delivered, I'll leave first."

Mrs. Shen breathed a visible sigh of relief, "Congratulations, Princess."

Jiang Xuening returned to the yard, washed her face and put on home clothes. Desserts were already placed on the table.

Qing He, "Dinner will be here soon. Princess, if you are hungry, you can have some snacks first."

Jiang Xuening said to her, "Come and sit down and talk. I have something to ask you."

Qinghe sat down obediently, "What do you want to ask, Princess?"

Jiang Xuening held her chin up and pretended to listen to gossip, "What happened to Mrs. Shen and the Shen family..."

Qinghe was born at home, and her parents were well-known among the palace's servants. She also had many little sisters, so she knew more or less some gossip.

Qinghe thought for a moment, picked up what he knew and said, "Mrs. Shen had two sons and one daughter. The eldest young master Shen Xici was amazingly talented, but he died during the Summer Solstice three years ago. A year later, the eldest young master Shen Xici passed away. You Ning is married, and Shen Shiyan is Mrs. Shen’s youngest son..."

Qinghe told a lot of gossip that she knew, the truth of which was indistinguishable from the false.

Jiang Xuening listened for a long time, and the only thing she could be sure of was that the quarrel between the eldest lady Shen Youning and Shen Shiyan was not a secret in Li An.

She tapped the table rhythmically with her hand, "Interesting..."

Talking about Shen You and Ning Qinghe's eyes lit up, "Miss Shen is good at both literary and martial arts. She is fascinated by the use of a whip. She loves to wear red. Before she got married, she was the most dazzling pearl in Li'an City."

Jiang Xuening was told by her that she hoped to meet this beauty one day.

Qing He's mouth was dry as he spoke. Dinner finally came. Jiang Xuening rewarded her with a bowl of braised pork, "Thank you for your hard work. Go down and eat. I don't need you to serve me here."

After dinner, Jiang Xuening walked around in the yard as usual. After walking a few laps, Concubine Zuo arrived with someone.

Jiang Xuening said, "Don't you need to greet the guests?"

"I have comforted her." Concubine Zuo said.

Jiang Xuening took her to the study room. There was a tea table in the middle. The two of them sat cross-legged opposite each other, as if they were going to hold a candle and talk at night. Only Qing He was left in the room to wait.

Jiang Xuening poured her tea herself, "You came faster than I thought."

Concubine Zuo smiled bitterly, "This matter is not easy to solve."

Jiang Xuening guessed casually, "Mrs. Shen and the Shen family are having a conflict?"

"You are quite smart..."

In fact, there are clues about this matter. As the wife of the Shen family, she has a legitimate son and daughter. In the contest between her and the Shen family, she was pushed out and used as a pawn.

If you think about it carefully, it's easy to see that something is wrong.

Concubine Zuo's face darkened, "If we don't handle it well this time, Mrs. Shen will be in danger in the Shen family..."

Jiang Xuening asked curiously, "What did the Shen family do to her?"

Concubine Zuo said angrily, "It's probably because the Shen family has been having a hard time recently, and because she didn't handle things well, the Shen family is angry at her and wants to send her to the family temple to pray for the late old lady."

Such a decision is fatal to a housewife, and it is only a little better than giving up directly.

Jiang Xuening tilted her head and thought for a moment, then quickly grasped the key point, and said with a half-smile, "Concubine, please don't worry about it. With Shen Shiyan here, can he tolerate others sending his mother to the temple?"

A person like Shen Shiyan would never allow this kind of thing to happen.

If it happens, it can only mean that there is something fishy.

Concubine Zuo tightened her lips, "He doesn't care about Mrs. Shen's life or death..."

Jiang Xuening raised her eyebrows, "Why, Mrs. Shen is her own mother..."

Concubine Zuo was silent for a long time, not knowing whether she should tell the truth or not. She picked up the tea on the table and took several sips.

Jiang Xuening did not urge her, but filled up the tea for her and said quietly, "Unless he is not Mrs. Shen's biological son..."

Concubine Zuo glared at her, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you."

Sometimes dealing with people who are too smart can make you feel tired.

Jiang Xuening laughed, "It seems that the Shen family's inner house is also full of swords and shadows..."

The eldest son died, and Shen Shiyan, who was now the most favored by the Shen family, was not Mrs. Shen's biological son. If you think about it, you will know that the story is not simple.

Concubine Zuo said depressedly, "You look very happy..."

Jiang Xuening gloated, "When I see that the Shen family is not doing well, I will be fine."

The most important thing is that from today's incident, she got a glimpse of the cracks in the Shen family.

She believed that with careful planning, these cracks would get bigger and bigger, eventually destroying the Shen family.

Concubine Zuo said speechlessly, "I came to you because you most want the Shen family to be destroyed..."
