Chapter 40 Shen Luo heard the shocking melon for the first time

"Your Highness, you have finally come out." Zhang Kang, who was guarding the door, spotted Xie Yunsheng who had stepped out of the room with sharp eyes, and greeted him in three steps at a time.

Zhang Liao immediately put the cloak on Xie Yunsheng's shoulders: "Your Highness, are you going home now?"

"Return!" Xie Yunsheng replied, cherishing words like gold.

On the carriage, Xie Yunsheng called the sweet-scented osmanthus cake sent by Shen Luo. The faint fragrance permeated the tip of his nose. He twisted a piece and bit it into his mouth, a faint smile appeared in his eyes.

The taste is exactly the same as the pastry she made in the previous life, and she even said it was made by her aunt.

"Your Highness, do you smell any fragrance?" Zhang Kang, who was driving the carriage, moved his nose slightly, sensitively capturing the fragrance of flowers floating in the air, and asked softly.

Zhang Liao raised his hand and slapped his younger brother: "Drive your carriage well, where did all this nonsense come from?"

"His Royal Highness is holding a box in his hand, and I wonder where the scent came from?" Zhang Liao didn't want his brother to offend His Highness the Crown Prince, so he lowered his voice and reminded, "Can you think it through your brain when you speak in the future."

Zhang Kang lowered his head silently, and whispered: "I see."

I secretly cursed in my heart: how do I know what to say and what not to say?
Xie Yunsheng closed the box, and asked: "Master Shen took over the case, how is your investigation going, if there is any news, send it to the Beizhen government office immediately, so as to help her solve the case earlier."

"What we have found, Lord Shen's people have found out. Don't worry, Your Highness. Your lord is very witty and will be able to find out the truth." Zhang Kang was very flexible.

Zhang Liao continued: "However, there is one strange thing. After Yi Zishao passed away, the head of the Yi family, Yi Ling, stayed behind closed doors, and Yi Zishao's birth mother was at home making a fuss."

"Can you find out who Yi Zishao's biological mother is and what is her history?" Xie Yunsheng asked.

Shouldn't concubines of ordinary families keep their mouths shut when encountering such a thing, to protect themselves wisely, so as not to be expelled from the house, how dare they make a scene?

A faint smile floated on the corner of Xie Yunsheng's lips: This case is getting more and more complicated and confusing!

"Yi Zishao's biological mother is the daughter of an ordinary businessman. I heard that she is not well received when she marries into the Yi family. She lived in the ancestral hall not long after giving birth to Yi Zishao. It was rumored that Yi Zishao was adopted by Yi Ling not long ago. It seems to want to pass on the position of Patriarch to Yi Zishao."

Zhang Liao replied, and then gradually realized that something was wrong, and asked back: "Your Highness, why does this subordinate feel that this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface!"

Yi Zishao had already been adopted by Yi Ling, and he was one step away from being the head of the family. According to common sense, he should act cautiously at this time to avoid side effects.

Even if he really likes a married woman, he should find a way to get everything he wants when he is in power.

Xie Yunsheng looked at the box in his hand, and said softly: "Keep an eye on Yi Zishao's biological mother. If Yi Zishao's death was not an accident, his biological mother would never be silent."

"Your Highness, do you mean that his biological mother will cause trouble?" Zhang Liao asked suspiciously.

"If there is really a grievance, the only place she can complain about is the Beizhen Mansion Secretary?" Xie Yunsheng was blunt, and then reminded: "Tomorrow, find someone to guard behind the Beizhen Mansion Secretary's gate to protect Shen Luo. Don't let crazy people come near her."

"My lord, the wife of the head of the Yi family is from the wife of the right minister and the wife of the right minister is from the Wang family. If there is a real trouble with the Beizhen government secretary, the right minister may make use of it." Zhang Liao reminded in a low voice.

The right minister, Su Xiang, has a very beautiful face. He was originally the prince's young teacher, and he treated people with humility and courtesy, but who would have thought that he would send His Royal Highness aromatherapy mixed with "something" when he brought his own daughter to the mansion, and even lit it himself.Fortunately, His Royal Highness found out in time.

Afterwards, Prime Minister Right strongly denied it, saying that he did not know that something was mixed in the fragrance and that someone was framed, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that Prime Minister Right wanted to be the father-in-law of His Highness the Crown Prince and climb up the ladder.

When Su Wanying was sent to the nunnery, Shen Situ was ordered to become an official in the court.Su Xiang Xu complained repeatedly in front of His Highness out of jealousy, belittled Mrs. Shen as a woman in court many times, saying that her background was unknown.

It's really too low!
I don't know how he climbed to the position of right minister in the first place?
When Xie Yunsheng heard Su Xiang's name, a trace of disgust flickered in his eyes, and he said: "Keep an eye on him, and report him immediately if there is any trouble."

"Yes, my subordinates will definitely protect the Crown Princess and never let the Crown Princess suffer any harm? 0" Zhang Kang and Zhang Liao replied in unison.

Xie Yunsheng held the pastry box in his hand, and there was a cold light in his black eyes.

next day
Shen Luo was sorting out the case file in her hand, when she suddenly heard a noise coming from outside the door, she called out, "Xin Zhuiyue, go and see what's going on outside? Why is it so noisy?"

"Yes." Xin Zhuiyue knew that she had angered Shen Luo yesterday, and immediately obediently obeyed.Go out and check.

For a moment, Xin Zhuiyue led a woman in plain clothes holding a string of Buddhist beads. Seeing Shen Luo's back, the woman immediately knelt down: "Master Shen."

"The woman is Yi Zishao's mother. My son is not a money-grubbing and lustful person. He will never fight someone because of a married woman."

"Behind this must be the conspiracy of that bitch of the Wang family. She didn't want my son to inherit the position of Patriarch, so she contacted outsiders to conspire to kill my son." The woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Do you have conclusive evidence for what you say?" Shen Luo continued to sort out the case files in her hands, not caring what the people behind her said.

She has seen more cases over the years, and she has become calmer.

The woman glanced at Shen Luo, and asked softly, "My lord, can the woman talk to you alone?"

Shen Luo glanced back at the woman in plain clothes, then signaled Xin Zhuiyue to step back.

After Xin Zhuiyue withdrew, Shen Luo slowly sat down with a case file from the household department, and said in a deep voice, "What do you want to say? Say it!"

The woman pinched the Buddhist beads in her hand and begged tremblingly: "My lord, please keep what I'm going to say to you a secret no matter what."

Shen Luo put down the file in her hand, looked at the woman, and asked, "I can't guarantee that the secret will not be leaked, because what you said may become evidence against others."

"If you insist on keeping it a secret, you can choose not to say it." Seeing the woman's struggling expression, Shen Luo silently picked up the case file in her hand and read it carefully.

The woman saw that Shen Luo's face was calm, and her amber eyes seemed to be able to peer into people's hearts. She knew that in front of such a person, only telling the truth could move her.

"My lord, as long as you can seek justice for my son, I am willing to tell Master Shen everything." The woman turned the beads in her hand, with remorse, helplessness, and fear on her brows.

Shen Luo remained silent and continued to organize the books at hand.

Seeing that Shen Luo ignored her, the woman gritted her teeth, summoned up her courage and said, "This matter starts with my son's life experience, my son is not my husband's son."
