Hearing what Mrs. Cheng said, Shen Rongyue's expression softened.

"What are you talking about? Tell me what you are talking about."

"I think, young lady, there is no need to be too sad. This problem may be able to be resolved..." Mrs. Cheng lowered her voice.

A glimmer of hope flashed in Shen Rongyue's eyes: "How to solve it? Tell me quickly!"

"To be honest with you, Miss, I already know about the affair between the Crown Prince and the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion..." Mother Cheng looked at Xiao Cui who was standing outside the door, and her voice became even lower.

Shen Rongyue saw it and understood.

I immediately blamed Xiao Cui for not keeping her mouth shut.

She had clearly told me not to tell anyone else—

If the reputation of the prince is ruined, it will affect his future.

"Miss, please don't blame Xiao Cui. It's because I'm worried about you that I asked Xiao Cui. Others don't know."

Shen Rongyue pouted: "Then what do you mean?"

Mother Cheng came closer and whispered, "I am wondering what would happen if the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion knew that the prince had a child?"

Shen Rongyue's face changed when he heard this.

She had witnessed with her own eyes how cunning and vicious Chu Xinglan was.

If she knew that the prince and a lowly concubine had a child, she would most likely not be able to tolerate it.

At least, I won't turn a blind eye to it——

Shen Rongyue's eyes gradually softened as she looked at Cheng Po.

Although this old woman is old and her hands and feet are slow, she is still smart...

"You are right. I'll leave this matter to you." Shen Rongyue lowered her eyes and gave the order.

"Yes." Having regained Shen Rongyue's trust, Mrs. Cheng smiled.

"Concubine Shen, the princess and the prince want you to come over." The two were whispering when the nanny beside Princess Kang came over to pass on the message.

Shen Rongyue agreed very reluctantly.

Cheng Pozi quietly reminded her: "Miss, the princess and the prince are both very happy now, you should not spoil their fun--"

After hearing the advice, Shen Rongyue tried her best to force a smile and went to Yinxin's house.

"Congratulations, Princess, congratulations, Prince, congratulations, Sister Yinxin..." As soon as she entered the door, Shen Rongyue took the initiative to speak.

Seeing this attitude, Qin Yueze's tense face relaxed.

Princess Kang also showed a satisfied expression on her face.

"The eldest princess said before that you are a lucky person for your husband. Now it seems that this is true. It is a blessing for you that Lin is pregnant. After all, she is the one you brought to the palace--" Princess Kang said with a smile.

"However, she is still young, so it is not appropriate to publicize her. For the time being, let her continue to stay in your courtyard. After she gives birth, I will set up a new courtyard for her. In the next few months, you need to take better care of her. Of course, I will also send a few more people to serve her--"

Yin Xin was delighted when she heard this. She said to Shen Rongyue, "I will have to trouble you in the future..."

The word "sister" lingered for a long time, like a thorn, hurting Shen Rongyue deeply.

She was filled with hatred in her heart, but she did not act foolishly.

She managed to say, "Sister, what's the problem? We are a family, and it's only natural for an elder sister to take care of her younger sister."

Qin Yueze nodded and looked at Shen Rongyue: "Well, that's great. By the way, Yue'er, the fact that Lin is pregnant, apart from the palace doctor and a few other servants, only the people in your courtyard know about it. Don't spread it for now. Wait until the fetus is stable before telling you."

Shen Rongyue responded, "I understand. I will control the servants in the courtyard."

But in his heart, he knew Qin Yueze's true intentions clearly.

It's obviously a happy thing, but I have to hide it.

Obviously, he was afraid that Chu Xinglan would get angry and make a scene if he found out.

Humph, the prince wanted to hide, but she wouldn't let him hide -

After returning to her room, Shen Rongyue called Cheng Pozi to discuss the matter in detail...

The General's Mansion.

As usual, Madam Mu watched Shen Qingyin take the medicine with her own eyes, and then watched the maid apply a new layer of ointment to her wound and bandage it before she relaxed her tense face.

He sighed, "Luckily it's just an external injury, and Dr. Feng is here, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do - I'll make these villains pay back a hundredfold!"

It seemed that the lady was about to get angry again.

Shen Qingyin hurriedly held her hand and comforted her with a smile: "Grandma, my granddaughter-in-law only suffered some minor skin injuries. She can eat and drink, and can even talk to you. Don't worry—"

The lady also smiled and patted Shen Qingyin's hand, "You are always so sensible, kid—"

Yun Wei came in from outside: "Madam, Madam, there are indeed many sneaky people outside our house, some of them are hiding very deeply--"

Shen Qingyin and Madam Mu looked at each other.

After the incident, although the matter was reported to the authorities immediately, it was obviously not something that Jingzhao Prefecture could easily investigate.

The grandfather and grandson decided to investigate on their own, starting from the nearest place.

There is no problem in the General's Mansion.

Then start investigating from outside the mansion gate.

After several days of observation, I found the clues.

"There are several country women selling eggs in the vegetable market outside the west side door, the fortune teller setting up a stall outside the east corner door, and the newly opened steamed bun shop right in front of the mansion gate. I'm afraid there are problems with all of them..." the maid continued to report.

Madam Mu's face darkened.

It's not surprising that there are spies outside the general's mansion.

The General’s Mansion had also noticed this before.

Considering that those people were outside the mansion and could not find out any information from inside the mansion, he simply ignored them.

I didn't expect there were so many.

Madam Mu was silent for a moment and said, "Don't alert the enemy yet. Send more people to keep an eye on them and see who they are associating with."

"Yes."

The maid turned around to leave, but Shen Qingyin stopped her as he had an idea.

"Grandma, my granddaughter-in-law wants to go to Jingzhao Prefecture. Why don't we take this opportunity to see who else is watching us—"

When she heard that Shen Qingyin was going out again, Madam Mu's face darkened.

"No, the most important thing now is for you to recover from your injuries. You shouldn't go out anymore."

"Don't worry, grandma. I will be careful and will not disturb the wound—"

Shen Qingyin requested repeatedly, and the lady had no choice but to agree.

Near noon, Shen Qingyin left the general's mansion through the main gate.

The carriage moved very slowly along the way and stopped at several places.

"Madam, there are indeed a lot of people following us." Yun Wei, who was riding a horse beside the carriage, leaned close to the window and whispered.

"Okay, be careful not to alarm them." Shen Qingyin replied close to the car window curtain.

The carriage made a circle and arrived at Zuixianlou. Shen Qingyin asked the maid to order some exquisite side dishes, and then headed straight for Jingzhao Prefecture.

Inside the Jingzhao Prefecture Prison.

In just a few days, the old lady has lost a lot of weight.

I can’t eat enough. I can’t eat enough at all!

I'm hungry every day...

Originally, the food in this prison was just enough to fill one's stomach.

But who made her run into such a hateful thief?

They try to snatch her away every day!

She only cared about porridge but not steamed cornbread.

I can take care of the steamed bread, but I can’t eat the vegetables——

It's even worse than the days when I was begging for food.

When begging for food, although you may be hungry one moment and full the next, at least you will always have time to eat your fill.

Most importantly, there is no need to compete with others.

"It's time for dinner, it's time for dinner--" The jailer came in with a food bucket, and the prisoners began to get restless.
