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

Knowing that people would gossip as soon as she entered the room, Xu Xingyin deliberately waited until the last minute to enter. By the time she entered, people inside had already been chatting animatedly for quite a while.

"Sister Seven, I'm afraid you came back late yesterday and didn't get enough rest? Why are you here at this hour?"

As expected, Xu Wanfeng started talking in a sarcastic tone as soon as Xu Xingyin entered the room.

Xu Xingyin had already guessed that something like this would happen. He covered his mouth in surprise and asked Dan Feng who was standing beside him.

"Dan Feng, are we late?"

Dan Feng shook his head honestly, "Miss, the time is just right."

"Oh, you sisters are here really early."

Xu Xingyin responded as if relieved, then smiled.

"But it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Just now when I came here, I happened to meet the housekeeper, who said he wanted to come over to tell grandma the good news!"

Madam Xu pretended not to hear the embarrassing words just now, and continued with a smile, "Oh? Why are you happy?"

"My granddaughter doesn't know either."

Xu Xingyin answered obediently, and Old Madam Xu turned her head and asked the old nanny beside her to invite the housekeeper in.

After the housekeeper came in, he first greeted Old Madam Xu and the young ladies in the room, and then respectfully handed Old Madam Xu a letter.

The vermilion cover is decorated with gold thread.

In Dayan, only the royal family members were allowed to use gold as ornaments, while officials mostly used silver for decoration.

After reading the post, Old Madam Xu's eyes fell calmly on Xu Xingyin, but she saw Xu Xingyin standing below with his head nodded, as if he had no idea what was going on.

"Seventh girl." Old Madam Xu put down the invitation gracefully and called Xu Xingyin, "This invitation was sent from the Grand Princess's Mansion."

Xu Xingyin blinked his eyes, feeling confused and a little uneasy.

"Did the Grand Princess invite her granddaughter to come over?"

Seeing that Xu Xingyin had no idea, Old Madam Xu breathed a sigh of relief and handed the note to Xu Xingyin with a smile.

"Well, you decide for yourself."

The post was written by the Grand Princess herself, and the gist of it was:

After a day of getting along, the Grand Princess liked Xu Xingyin very much and kept praising her for being a well-behaved and sensible girl.

He also said that Xu Xingyin and Tian Tian were of similar age, so he invited Xu Xingyin to study with Tian Tian at the Princess's Mansion, and then wrote a note to ask for the opinions of the elders at the Duke's Mansion.

Seeing Xu Xingyin reading the post honestly, Old Madam Xu sensed something was going on in this matter.

Tian Tian, ​​the Princess of Yongyi County, is well-known in the capital for her rudeness and domineering behavior. It must be rare for the Grand Princess to see a girl who is both well-behaved and easy to talk to, so she would have such thoughts, right?

Furthermore, the Grand Princess might have had other ulterior motives in doing this.

No matter how powerful the eldest princess was, she was just a woman. Now that her husband had died tragically, she had lost her support for the rest of her life.

Since she couldn't rely on the master of the mansion and had to maintain the glory of the princess's mansion, the eldest princess had to think of some way.

The Prince Consort Tian Zitao was originally on the side of Prince Ding and stood against the Crown Prince, but now he has no good result.

Prince Ding is an extremely clear-headed person and never gives convenience to useless people.

If the eldest princess wants to live the rest of her life in peace and stability, she will have to turn her attention back to the crown prince.

But the prince is not someone who is easy to get close to, so he thought of a way to get close to the future crown princess, so...

Old Madam Xu couldn't help but feel happy when she thought about it. Since even the Grand Princess had such an idea, it seemed that their Duke's Mansion was really going to produce a phoenix.

Xu Xingyin didn't think as much as Old Madam Xu. This was the matter she asked Tian Tian for help yesterday, but she didn't know Tian Tian would act so quickly. She couldn't help but feel very touched.

In this way, she could continue to investigate Tian Zitao's case under the pretext of admission to school.

In the future, we will follow the death of Tian Zitao to investigate the truth of the Zhennan General’s Mansion case and vindicate the Zhennan General’s Mansion!

Although he was very excited in his heart, Xu Xingyin remained calm on the surface. He put the post back to Old Madam Xu without being disturbed by the fame or criticism and replied obediently.

"This is a serious matter, so naturally I, your granddaughter, will listen to you."

Although it has been quite some time since Xu Xingyin came back, he has never been to the clan school in the mansion for even a single day.

The girls in the mansion were not happy to accept her, so they deliberately did not mention it;

Chen, on the other hand, felt sorry for her daughter and wanted her to rest for a while before studying again.

As for Old Madam Xu, she didn't make things difficult for Xu Xingyin. It was just...

I forgot this happened.

To put it bluntly, Old Madam Xu did not take Xu Xingyin seriously.

Old Madam Xu thought for a moment and felt that it would be a good thing to be able to go to the Grand Princess's Mansion to study.

On the one hand, it can separate Xu Xingyin from other girls in the family and save her from the headache of quarrels.

Secondly, the female teacher and the nanny in the Princess's Mansion were all sent from the palace. It would be a blessing for her if they could give Xu Xingyin some pointers.

After all, she is the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion, so she should always behave properly.

Although both Old Madam Xu and Xu Xiuzhu would rather place their hopes on Xu Wanmian, everyone knows that one should not put all eggs in one basket, and Old Madam Xu would not be so stupid as to block Xu Xingyin's way.

As for other things, it depends on Xu Xingyin's own luck.

Thirdly, although the Duke's Mansion is not a small family, there is no need to create enmity with the Grand Princess's Mansion for such a win-win situation.

Thinking of this, Old Madam Xu had already made a decision. She chuckled and pulled Xu Xingyin.

"He's a good kid. The teachers and maids in the Princess's residence are all from the palace. It would be a great thing if you could receive their instruction."

"Grandma is right." Xu Xingyin nodded, and added softly, "My granddaughter will definitely learn well."

Old Madam Xu felt relieved to see Xu Xingyin being so considerate.

He made the decision immediately, wrote a reply personally, and asked his personal nanny to deliver it personally before he finished his work.

Seeing how busy Old Madam Xu was, and knowing that Xu Xingyin had got this opportunity, it was natural that some people would be jealous.

"Seventh sister has really put a lot of effort into pleasing grandma."

Listen, Xu Wanjie almost said the word "climbing".

"As a granddaughter, I should do my best to make my grandmother happy. This is filial piety."

Xu Xingyin paused when he said this, and his eyes swept over Xu Wanjie, his contempt obvious. "For the sake of sisterly harmony, Sixth Sister has also made great contributions."

This is said politely, but it is full of irony.

During the time he returned home, Xu Xingyin finally figured out some of the relationships in the Duke's Mansion.

There are a total of four legitimate daughters in the mansion, among which the eldest and fourth daughters are illegitimate. So, Xu Wanfeng and Xu Wanru are only illegitimate daughters.

If we talk about legitimate girls, there are only Xu Xingyin and Xu Wanlin.

Xu Wanfeng is stupid and can easily be used as a tool by others; Xu Wanru is dull and a bit rigid; Xu Wanlin, who is also a legitimate daughter, naturally looks down on these two.

But the first wife happened to control the economic lifeline of the Duke's Mansion, so even though Xu Wanlin looked down on Xu Wanfeng, she still politely maintained a plain relationship with her.

As for Xu Wanzhi, she is really an insignificant existence.

The second and third rooms are of the same legitimate lineage, and logically should be the closest to them. However, Xu Xingyin, the legitimate daughter of the second room, has lived in Jiangnan for a long time, and those who stayed in the mansion are all illegitimate daughters, and Xu Wanlin disdains to associate with them.
