As soon as I went out, I saw Tan Guanqing and Lin Yu waiting outside.

Xie Shang glanced at them and said in a deep voice, "Master Tan and Manager Lin are also here to visit the Crown Princess?"

"Yes and no." said Tan Guanqing.

Xie Shang asked, "What do you mean?"

Tan Wanqing explained, "Ever since His Highness introduced Wanqing to the Crown Princess, we hit it off right away. The Crown Princess gave a lot of advice to Jishan Hall, and I admire her very much. I also heard that the Crown Princess was about to give birth, so I asked Shopkeeper Lin to come with us. Shopkeeper Lin donated a lot of money to Jishan Hall, and the Crown Princess also admired Shopkeeper Lin."

Lin Yu also said, "Thanks to the Crown Princess for not despising a commoner girl, we can be said to have hit it off right away." They had already thought of an excuse, and it was indeed true. Xie Shang could not find any clues.

Besides, the Crown Princess is about to enter the palace, and her chances of leaving the palace are almost slim, so they originally wanted to take advantage of the Crown Prince’s birthday banquet today to expose Su Dehai’s guilt, but they didn’t expect that Jiang Fenghua was suddenly going to give birth.

"I remember that the person in charge of Yichunlou is also Shopkeeper Lin." Xie Shang said to Jiang Jinyan, "Jinyan and Shopkeeper Lin also know each other, right?"

Jiang Jinyan said, "In fact, I met Miss Lin Yu in Yichun Tower. At that time, I hadn't married yet. I just met her when I was drinking with a bunch of friends."

Fortunately, Moer and her mother went to see Ruanruan, otherwise there would be misunderstanding. It is better not to let Moer know many things, lest she cannot hide things and will worry again.

Xie Shang knew that the young masters in Shengjing City liked to go to places like Yichunlou, where there were many entertainments. The dignitaries and royal relatives were even more fascinated by such places. He didn't expect that Jiang Jinyan also liked it.

Jiang Jinyan explained, "Your Highness, although Miss Lin Yu was born in the secular world, she is different from other prostitutes. She had no choice but to enter the secular world. Miss Lin sells her art but not her body. Jinyan admires her courage and sympathizes with her experience."

Lin Yu knelt directly in front of Xie Shang, "Actually, I came here today to ask Your Highness the Crown Prince for help on something. I want to seek justice for my godmother."

Lin Yu didn't say who he was going to sue, and Xie Shang glanced at a few people.

He pulled Jiang Jinyan aside and said to him, "You also know about this."

"I have heard some of it, but not all of it," Jiang Jinyan said.

"Did you know that your sister was giving birth today? You sent someone to seek justice for me." Xie Shang said.

"Mother has just said that Ruan Ruan and the child are safe and sound. Besides, I didn't know that Ruan Ruan would give birth to the child early. It was purely a coincidence." This was what Ruan Ruan advocated. Since the emperor was afraid of the Su family, then he would give the Su family some solid charges and make sure to ruin the Su family's reputation. He would be covered in dirty water and spread rumors. The Su family would always do something desperate, and the reputation of his great general's mansion would be ruined.

"So it was you who asked Lin Yu to appear at an event like today? The person she wanted to sue was at the banquet outside." Xie Shang said in a deep voice, "If I don't make the decision for her, today's banquet will not end, right?"

Jiang Jinyan nodded and quickly bowed his hands to apologize, "Please forgive me, Your Highness. Jinyan had no choice but to do this. Even if I have to die, I am willing to follow your orders. Jinyan's life belongs to your Highness."

Xie Shang really admired Jiang Jinyan's efficiency and ability. Jiang Jinyan would be a great helper in his future cleansing up the court. "Remember, you owe me more than just one favor. As for your life, I have no use for it. If I really want your life, I'm afraid Ruan Ruan will fight me to the death."

Jiang Jinyan was stunned, "Your Highness means that he is willing to help Miss Lin."

"Come with me. I also want to hear who she wants to sue." Xie Shang took a few people directly to the study.

Xie Shang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and took Lin Yu and Tan Guanqing with him.

Butler Cheng hurriedly chased after him, "Your Highness, what should we do with the guests outside?"

"Let them eat and drink first, don't stop singing and dancing, and make sure everyone has a good time." Xie Shang said coldly.

Butler Cheng didn't know what the Crown Prince meant, but it was already late at night and the whole place was quiet, so he hurried to the front yard to appease the guests.

In the study, Lin Yu was seen kneeling on the ground respectfully and speaking slowly...

"I was sold to a dance school when I was young, and I grew up in the school. I was lucky enough to have a dancer named Lin Shuang as my godmother. After living there for a few years, Lin Shuang didn't want me to stay there anymore because she knew that when I grew up I would be sold to a man and spend my whole life for his pleasure. So, my godmother entrusted me to her family.

Many years later, I returned to teaching dance and wanted to find a godmother, but the dance studio was no longer there, and the dancers there were scattered all over the place, some even ending up in brothels.

After some inquiries, I found out that my godmother was recruited by a high-ranking official to dance, as well as the sisters who taught in the dance troupe. None of them survived, and I heard that they died miserably. The people who killed them were General Su Dehai, Shangshu Yang who died last year, and some officials.

We are just lowly civilians and there is nothing we can do to them.

Later, I went to Yichunlou. Actually, I wanted to find an opportunity to assassinate those officials who harmed people. I knew they would definitely go to that kind of place, but all the people's women waited for it, except Su Dehai, because he never came back to Shengjing. Now he finally came back, and I don't want to miss this opportunity. "

Xie Shang glanced at Tan Guanqing and asked, "You want to kill Su Dehai the same way you killed Yang Jing?"

Tan Wanqing said, "Su Dehai is not Yang Jing. He is not easy to kill, so Miss Lin thought of finding His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and suing him."

Xie Shang sneered, laughing at their naivety, "So you came here today to sue General Su. I guess that the dance studio is not just a real dance studio, there should be some kind of transaction going on."

"Yes." Lin Yu did not deny it. Most of what she said was true. Madam Lin Shuang was indeed murdered, and they did have evidence that the Su family was even more unscrupulous.

It’s a pity that they have little influence and cannot sue them.

"Even if you produce hard evidence now, it will only be considered a false accusation. Women in such places can't explain themselves even if they die in their hands. The chance of punishing him is almost zero." Xie Shang directly stated the cruelest fact. Yang Jing was a second-rank official, and Su Dehai was a first-rank general. If they could really kill them easily, they would have died a hundred times ago.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince means that we women deserve to be toyed with by them and killed like animals by them. Just because they are high-ranking officials, is there no one in the world who can speak up for women and make decisions for women?" Lin Yu cried, "I was born into a poor family. I am not like the daughters of wealthy families. They live a comfortable life and don't have to beg for mercy to survive.

I thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess founded a place like Jishantang to take in poor women in the world, to pity their helplessness and tragic fate, to pity their homelessness. It turns out that it was all for the people to see. Once a high-ranking official commits a crime, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot punish them. "

Lin Yu looked cold and continued, "If I have evidence, I can prove that General Su's mansion set up a palace for pleasure in the border area. In addition to prostitutes forced to sell their bodies, there were also decent women. They were first used for General Su's amusement, and when he didn't need them anymore, he gave them to the officers and soldiers until he tortured them to death, and even used them to make profits. Are these officials the officials that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to protect?"
