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

When Xu Xingyin stepped into the gate of the Duke's Mansion, the eunuch who announced the decree had just left the Mansion.

Chen held the imperial edict that exonerated the Zhennan General's Mansion in her hands and burst into tears.

Xu Chaoge was beside Chen, comforting her with soft words, and his eyes looked a little red and swollen.

Yes, in the past, Chen had the entire Zhennan General's Mansion as her backing, and she married into the Xu Guogong Mansion as the legitimate daughter.

In the Duke's Mansion, her identity alone is enough to suppress all the sisters-in-law; when she goes out, she has the additional identity of the Duke's wife.

Wherever she goes, her steps are always light, who wouldn't respect her?

The same is true for Xu Chaoge. He was born as a noble and precious young master of the general's mansion, and is also recognized as the prince of the duke's mansion.

From birth to schooling, have you ever suffered any injustice?

But since the Zhennan General's Mansion was accused of treason, in just two short years, the mother and son have seen the fickleness of human nature and suffered all kinds of grievances in the Duke's Mansion.

Now that the Zhennan General’s Mansion has finally been cleared of wrongdoing, they are naturally filled with emotion.

Next to Chen stood Duke Xu Xiuzhu, Old Madam Xu, Xu Chaoming and others.

No one knew what Xu Xiuzhu was thinking, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. The look he gave Chen contained a hint of regret.

Oh, when Xu Xiuzhu did all these desperate things, he probably never thought that the Zhennan General’s Mansion would be able to make a comeback one day, right?

Do you regret it now?

late!

Old Madam Xu maintained her usual dignified demeanor, with a kind smile on her face, and she seemed to be proud of herself.

But no one knows what he is thinking.

As for Xu Chaoming, he was younger after all, and not as calm as Xu Xiuzhu, and he could hardly suppress the gloom on his face.

Yes, as the heir of the second wife, Xu Chaoge not only has the title of legitimate heir, but also has a sister who is the Crown Princess. Now he has the support of the General Zhennan Mansion.

It's easy to imagine that his previous dreams of becoming a prince must have been shattered.

Xu Xingyin took in everyone's reactions, then walked in with a smile, helped Chen up and said with a smile.

"On such a happy day, please don't be too polite. Mother, please don't be sad. It's a good thing that the Zhennan General's Mansion has overturned the verdict. Grandfather would be happy in his grave, too."

Chen covered her face with a handkerchief and nodded.

"Jiaojiao is right. This is a good thing. Our Zhennan General's Mansion..."

Xu Xingyin smiled and quickly reminded.

"Mother, this is the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion now."

"Yes, yes, yes! Zhenguogong Mansion!"

Chen hadn't seen Xu Xingyin for some time, and she was extremely happy to see her daughter return home.

She did not care about feeling sad about the passing of time, and happily discussed with Xu Xingyin when they could go back to her mother's home, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, to visit their relatives.

Xu Xingyin had originally had this idea, and now that the ban on the General's Mansion had finally been lifted, it was natural for relatives and friends who had been separated for a long time to have a good reunion.

The mother and daughter were chatting happily, and Xu Chaoge, who usually didn't talk much, also joined in.

As night falls, warm lanterns are hung in the courtyard.

The swaying light and shadow added a touch of poetry to this rare reunion. The figures of mother and her two children looked particularly warm under the reflection of the lanterns.

It was not until the night deepened that the laughter and conversation in the courtyard gradually faded away.

After dinner, Xu Xingyin left the Duke's Mansion.

Perhaps because he was in a really good mood today, Xu Xingyin was so excited that he even ordered the carriage to go around the city and buy some freshly baked chestnut cakes.

Dan Feng looked at Xu Xingyin holding the box of chestnut cakes like a treasure and asked in confusion.

"My Lady Crown Princess, didn't you just buy some chestnut cakes yesterday? You haven't finished them yet."

Xu Xingyin responded generously without disguising, "Chestnut cake tastes better when it's hot. Yesterday's cake definitely didn't taste as good as today's."

Dan Feng couldn't help but chuckle and tease when he heard that.

"The Crown Princess is probably eager to give our Highness the best of everything~"

Xu Xingyin's cheeks turned red and she rushed over to cover Danfeng's mouth.

Unexpectedly, the sudden jolt of the carriage caused her to lose her balance and lean forward. Fortunately, Dan Feng quickly supported her and prevented her from falling.

Xu Xingyin cried out "Ouch!" and after sitting firmly, he quickly protected the chestnut cake in his arms. After calming himself down, he noticed that the carriage seemed to have stopped in the middle of the road, and he couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"What's wrong? Why did you stop suddenly?"

The driver's somewhat embarrassed voice came from outside the carriage, "Reporting to the Crown Princess, it's... Madam Sha."

Xu Xingyin raised his eyebrows, put down the chestnut cake in his hand, subconsciously adjusted his hair accessories, and then slowly lifted a corner of the curtain.

As expected, at a glance, he saw her with disheveled hair, kneeling in front of the carriage in a panic.

Xu Xingyin supported his chin with one hand, raised his eyebrows, and smiled sarcastically.

"This is the second time that Madam Sha has stopped my carriage like this."

Yang Mingxue, who had fallen to the ground, slowly raised her head, with traces of tears still on her face.

Facing Xu Xingyin's ridicule, she did not retort as she did in the past. Instead, she bowed her head to the ground and saluted with a very humble attitude, speaking in a resentful tone.

"I have something important to tell Her Majesty the Crown Princess. Please move aside."

Xu Xingyin was somewhat surprised by Yang Mingxue's performance today, but he still remained alert.

"Where does Madam Sha get the confidence that I will definitely agree to your request?"

Yang Mingxue still kept his eyebrows lowered, maintaining a humble attitude.

"This matter involves His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so please be sure to agree, Princess."

Xu Xingyin didn't know when he became so petty, but when he heard Yang Mingxue say words related to Jing Zhichen, he felt uncomfortable and his brows were furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death.

"This palace and the prince are husband and wife. Why do you, an outsider, need to tell me about the prince's affairs?"

Yang Mingxue did not refute, but stood up and walked to the car window.

He lowered his voice and whispered so that only the two of them could hear.

"Do you think, Crown Princess, that two people who have never even consummated their marriage can be called husband and wife?"

Xu Xingyin's face suddenly changed when he heard that. He widened his eyes in surprise and shouted in a low voice while trying his best to remain calm.

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Having said this, Yang Mingxue slowly raised her head, met Xu Xingyin's gaze, and smiled slightly.

"Isn't the Crown Princess curious? How did I know about such a private matter?"

Xu Xingyin clenched his fists, and the fingers hidden in his wide sleeves turned white due to the force.

At this moment, Xu Xingyin had to admit that the calmness that he had always been proud of was almost gone at this moment.

The answer that was about to come out lingered in her mind for a few times, but was then forcefully suppressed. She took a deep breath and tried her best to maintain the dignified demeanor of a Crown Princess.

"Okay, Danfeng, go and invite Madam Sha to get in the car. It's better to meet by chance than to invite each other. Since we have 'met', I will give Madam Sha a ride."
