Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again

Hearing the noise outside, the people inside stood up one after another and looked at the opened door vigilantly.

When they saw that the person who walked in was Xu Xingyin, Old Madam Chen, who was standing at the front, trembled slightly with her hunched body, and the old lady, who had been majestic for half her life, burst into tears.

"Grandma."

Xu Xing walked in secretly, called out softly with a trembling voice, then bent his knees and knelt directly in front of Old Madam Chen.

"The granddaughter is unfilial and has caused her grandmother to suffer."

The little girl knelt very straight, her back as straight as an unyielding pine or cypress. The sound of her knees hitting the ground was so clear that it made Old Madam Chen feel distressed.

She took two steps forward and raised her weather-beaten hand as if she wanted to touch the child's head, but in the next moment she stopped half an inch away.

"You go!"

Old Madam Chen suddenly shouted, "Is this the place you should be? Remember, you are the daughter of Duke Xu's family in the capital. You were fostered in the Zhennan General's Mansion and suffered a lot of grievances, so you are not close to the people in the General's Mansion! Go! I don't want to see you!"

How could Xu Xingyin not know that Old Madam Chen was afraid of implicating herself?

She did not refute, but looked up at Old Madam Chen with tearful eyes, gently tugged at Old Madam Chen's sleeve, and choked with sobs.

"Grandma, Jiaojiao misses you so much."

The word "miss you" instantly broke down Old Madam Chen's defenses.

When I was a child, the little girl kneeling in front of me was the same. I would pull her sleeves and run behind her, whispering to her about interesting things outside.

"You kid..."

Old Madam Chen's hand finally fell on Xu Xingyin's head, and then she helped Xu Xingyin up while choking with sobs.

"The ground is cold, start writing."

After finally coaxing Old Madam Chen not to chase her away, Xu Xingyin stood up obediently and then greeted the female relatives behind Old Madam Chen.

"Aunt, second aunt, eldest cousin, third cousin."

The three of them also greeted Xu Xingyin one after another. Aunt Chen Yuanshi, who had always been a very meticulous person, was the first one to notice the difference in Xu Xingyin.

Chen Yuan was a little surprised when she saw Xu Xingyin's hair tied up. "Jiaojiao, are you married?"

"Yes."

For some reason, Xu Xingyin felt a little embarrassed and blushed silently when he said this answer.

"Two months ago, I was ordered to marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This time I went to Jiangnan with His Royal Highness. It was His Royal Highness who helped me with the visit to the prison today."

Everyone was happy for Xu Xingyin after hearing this, and Old Madam Chen also nodded and praised:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not one of those pampered princes in the palace. He has been on the march and fought in wars. He knows the sufferings of the world and is an upright man. It would be a great blessing to be able to have a harmonious relationship with him."

"Our Jiaojiao is now the Crown Princess!" Second Aunt Chen Yang's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Did Jiaojiao come here to save us?"

"absurd!"

Old Madam Chen scolded Chen Yang-shi harshly, and was obviously very angry at Chen Yang-shi's ignorance.

"How can you speak to the Crown Princess like that?"

"Grandmother, Jiaojiao did find many anomalies in the case of the General's Mansion a few days ago. I came here to ask you something."

Xu Xingyin had always known that Chen Yangshi was stupid, and he was too lazy to argue with her. He skipped the topic and asked Old Madam Chen, "Before the incident at the General's Mansion, did Grandfather have any disagreements with Zhang Zishi, the governor of Jiangnan?"

"It's true."

"Why?"

Xu Xingyin was puzzled. "For so many years, my grandfather and Zhang Zishi have always kept to themselves. What prompted my grandfather to suddenly target Zhang Zishi?"

"Your grandfather only told us not to accept anything sent by Zhang Zishi under any name, and not to have any contact with the Zhang family anymore. He didn't mention anything else."

Madam Chen shook her head and said, "If you want to know why, I'm afraid only your grandfather knows. I have been thinking for the past two years that your grandfather must have predicted the disaster of the general's mansion. If we don't know something, we may still be alive. If we knew, we would have already..."

"Don't worry, grandma. Jiaojiao will definitely seek justice for the General's Mansion."

"No!"

Old Madam Chen firmly rejected Xu Xingyin, "Jiaojiao, remember, we just want you to live a good life. Promise your grandmother not to get involved in this mess."

Xu Xingyin shook his head, his tone was also very stubborn: "Grandma, Jiaojiao can't do it."

"you!"

Old Madam Chen was furious, but she couldn't hit or scold the person in front of her, so she could only turn her head away and said angrily.

"This place is filthy, and it is not appropriate for the Crown Princess to stay for long. Please go back!"

Xu Xingyin knew that Old Madam Chen was angry, but this time there was no way she could follow Old Madam Chen's lead and not get involved in the affairs of the General's Mansion, so she had no choice but to retreat and nodded in agreement.

"Anger is harmful to your health. Grandmother, you should take care of your health and don't get angry with Jiaojiao. Jiaojiao is leaving now. I will come to see you next time."

After that, Xu Xingyin said goodbye to the other women in the room. Chen Yuan looked at the quarreling grandparents and grandchildren, sighed and advised Xu Xingyin.

"Mother is doing this for your own good, Jiaojiao. You... just take good care of yourself and do your best for the rest."

"Thank you, aunt."

……

After returning to the inn without any obstructions, Xu Xingyin had not yet had time to wash up when he heard Dan Feng come in to report that Lord Aoying had arrived.

After a little thought, he realized that there must have been progress in the investigation into Zhang Zishi's mistress. Without caring about anything else, he hurried to the front hall to meet Ao Ying.

Ao Ying came here because of the matter of Zhang Zishi's mistress.

Aoying found out that Zhang Zishi did have a mistress in Jiangning City named Lin Niang, and he had a son and a daughter with Lin Niang. Both children were young.

Zhang Zishi treated his concubine very well. He raised the mother and her two children in a three-story house, and their food, clothing and other expenses were not even worse than those of Zhang Tongshi.

The son born to Lin Niang was quite smart, in sharp contrast to Zhang Zishi's eldest son Zhang Songping, so Zhang Zishi valued this second son very much.

He even thought about asking his second son to return to his ancestral home, but later on, when he was transferred to the post of governor of Jiangnan, this matter was put on hold.

Zhang Tong knew that Zhang Zishi had a mistress, but she also understood that Zhang Zishi was a man who attached great importance to his reputation and would never tarnish the reputation he had carefully built over the years because of a momentary impulse.

Therefore, Zhang Tongshi simply pretended to be dumb and pretended that she didn't know about Zhang Zishi's romantic affairs outside.

As long as the concubine does not enter the house, her son will still be the only son of the Zhang family, and no one can take away his glory.

After Ao Ying finished speaking, he saw Xu Xingyin, who was sitting at the top, curling up the corners of his lips with a good mood. It was obvious that he had already made up his mind.
