Everyone walked to the gate of Beiyuan, and Shen Zhiheng and Shen Zhixiu who came from the other direction also arrived.
When Mrs. Chen saw Shen Zhiheng, she stepped forward and asked anxiously: "Master, can't it be Ying'er?"
Although it was a question, Shen Zhiheng did not need to answer. She just felt unsure and wanted to find someone to rely on.
Su Qingyu also walked to Shen Zhixiu, "This matter has even alarmed the eldest brother and the third master? Don't all the guests know about it?"
Shen Zhixiu's expression didn't change. "We can't hide it when it makes trouble. Go in first and see what's going on. There will always be a way to solve it."
With that said, Shen Zhixiu took Su Qingyu's hand and followed Shen Zhiheng and his wife into Beiyuan.
At this time, at the door of the main house in Beiyuan, Prince Duan had already put on his clothes and came out because of Zhou Yingxue's disturbance.
Shen Ying didn't come out, maybe because she couldn't get up or because she was too shy to see people.
Mrs. Chen entered the inner room first, and not long after, exclamations of surprise were heard, and everyone knew in their hearts that it was indeed Shen Ying inside.
Shen Zhixiu and Shen Zhiheng walked up to Prince Duan, and Shen Zhixiu said, "Your Majesty, can you explain to me what is going on?"
Logically speaking, Prince Duan slept with his niece, so Shen Zhixiu wouldn't be rude to ask.
Unexpectedly, Prince Duan's eyes were filled with anger, and he said coldly: "Explanation? I still want an explanation from the Shen family."
"I just came here to have a wedding banquet, but my reputation has been ruined and I have lost my virginity. What do you say, Master Shen?"
When Prince Duan thought of what the woman at the door had just said, his heart boiled with anger.
Just now he heard Zhou Yingxue's voice and quickly put on his clothes and came out. He scolded Zhou Yingxue a few words, telling her not to be rude.
When he heard that the second young lady of the Shen family was inside, he was also shocked. How did he know what the second young lady of the Shen family looked like? He just thought that this person was sent by the Shen family to serve him.
At that time, Prince Duan's first reaction was to feel guilty, and he planned to make a formal apology to the Shen family before formally proposing marriage. Things had already happened, so he could only give the Shen family enough face and find a way to make amends.
But I didn't expect that the mother-in-law who was waiting outside would ask him to take responsibility, as if she was afraid that he would run away. He also said that she was guarding here under the orders of the eldest lady Chen.
After saying a few words, Prince Duan became suspicious and began to think about whether the Shen family did this on purpose. Zhou Yingxue on the side said what the two maids said again, and Prince Duan now confirmed his suspicion that the Shen family did it on purpose.
People like them are suspicious by nature. During this time, Prince Duan had already thought of many possibilities.
The most likely possibility is that the Shen family wanted to manipulate him, so they did not formally propose marriage, but used this method to make Miss Shen's Princess Duanqin. He felt in his heart that he owed the Shen family, and it would be easy for the Shen family to plan anything in the future.
As for whether this was the Shen family's idea or the Shen family's eldest brother's own decision, he had not yet decided.
If the Shen family's eldest brother meant it, he simply wanted to cling to the powerful. But if it was the Shen family's intention, then Shen Zhixiu had another deeper meaning. The matter can be big or small, and may even involve the court and imperial power.
When Shen Zhixiu heard what Prince Duan said, his expression turned cold.
Even if you are a prince, you cannot act like this in the inner courtyard of the Shen family and want to beat him up.
"What the prince said is interesting. The waistband of the prince's trousers is loose, and he still needs to explain to me? Isn't it a bit hard to force someone into trouble?"
Shen Zhixiu's tone of voice was still calm, but there was an obvious coldness between his brows.
After Prince Duan finished speaking, he realized that it was Shen Zhixiu who asked. He didn't want to have a dispute with Shen Zhixiu. It's hard to say whose idea this matter was from the Shen family. It would be unwise to break up with Shen Zhixiu at this time.
Even though he is a prince, he is the younger brother of the current emperor. But facing a powerful minister like Shen Zhixiu, he couldn't do whatever he wanted.
"Master Shen, I am not just saying this. The Shen family knows what is going on here. If Master Shen doesn't know the inside story, it is better to ask your brother and sister-in-law."
Prince Duan's tone softened a bit, giving Shen Zhixiu some face.
Zhou Yingxue on the side couldn't help but said: "That bitch Shen Ying, don't think that you can marry into the palace by sleeping with my father. She wants to be my aunt, but that is just a dream. Such a person will be a bitch in the palace. Concubine, this princess must consider it."
Prince Duan heard what Zhou Yingxue said was really unpleasant, so he scolded him, "Don't talk nonsense, why is it that a girl who has not yet left the imperial court speaks so unpleasantly?"
He added, "If other people's girls are uneducated, you can't follow them."
Zhou Yingxue snorted and did not continue, but her face showed dissatisfaction.
Mrs. Chen was also angry when she heard this. She just came out of it.
My good daughter is lying on the bed with no good place on her body. She spoke several words to Shen Ying, but Shen Ying's eyes were blank and she didn't respond.
Chen's heart was as sharp as a knife, and she didn't expect to hear the words of Prince Duan and Zhou Yingxue again when she came out.
"My lord, what do you mean by this? You ruined my daughter. You didn't want to propose marriage quickly, but you said these insulting words."
Upon hearing this, Prince Duan replied coldly, "Is this king destroying people? Didn't you send them yourself?"
"I would also like to ask Mrs. Shen what her intentions are in sending her daughter to my bed."
Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will take root and sprout in your heart.
Prince Duan was convinced that the Shen family had ulterior motives, so he did not want to marry Shen Ying, especially not as a principal concubine. Who knows if there will be any conspiracy behind her if she really gets married?
With his status, he cannot take any risks.
Mrs. Chen's chest heaved with anger, but she couldn't say anything to refute. She sent people in, but she sent Shen Yue, why was Shen Ying the one who went in?
She didn't even dare to let her family investigate this matter. If she did investigate, she found out that she wanted to plot against Shen Yue, and neither the old lady nor the Shen brothers would let her go.
Her daughter is already in this state, she can't get herself involved.
Being so entangled makes her feel even more guilty. Even Shen Zhiheng looked at Chen suspiciously. Could it be that she did not hesitate to send her daughter in just to get a chance at Prince Duan's palace?
"Your Majesty, things have come to this, we have to find a solution."
Shen Zhixiu looked at Prince Duan and said.
Prince Duan thought for a while, "Either I bring her into the house as a concubine, or the Shen family will give me an explanation as to why the second lady came in?"
"You sent me here, and I ended up with the wrong one. This is a crime I cannot afford to bear."
"Master Shen, as the Second Assistant to the Cabinet, if you can't find out this matter, I can ask Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice to investigate."
Prince Duan insisted that either the Shen family should conduct a thorough investigation or they could only remain as concubines.
Shen Zhixiu stood with his hands behind his hands, also thinking about what was going on. Shen Ying entered Prince Duan's house, she must have something inside. Is Dafang deliberately clinging to her, or is someone else framing Shen Ying?
A thorough investigation is possible, but some things cannot be disclosed to the outside world.
For a while, everyone had their own thoughts and were deadlocked.
Su Qingyu walked to Chen's side calmly and whispered something in her ear.
Mrs. Chen's face changed greatly when she heard this, and she gritted her teeth and glared at Su Qingyu. I have to admit that Su Qingyu is right.
