After the divorce, the queen mother was pampered by powerful ministers

Chapter 13 Choosing a Maid

After all, Zhang Zhilan was not Shen Shengge's biological mother. Su Wunian could understand her being cold-faced and afraid of falling into the truth, but she didn't understand her pampering and pampering Shen Shengge.Looking at it from another angle, Shen Shengge's domineering, ignorant nature is inseparably related to Zhang Zhilan's connivance, and it is also related to Shen Pingjin's blind dislike, even ignorance.

Six doors away, as soon as Su Wunian got out of the carriage, he heard the people talking and vaguely heard the name of the regent.

Su Wunian raised her eyebrows slightly. It seemed that the assassination of the Prince Regent at Shouyue Peak had been discovered. The news that shocked the whole country would soon spread like wildfire and spread back to Nanchen Kingdom.

Although I, Su Wunian, died, I also eradicated the cancer that you Nan Chen had hidden in Qing Yuan's heart.

Inside the six doors, it was very deserted.

"Wu Zuo was doing an autopsy, and when he received the news, he hurried to guard Yuefeng."

"You must have heard along the way that the regent was assassinated at Shouyue Peak. This is a major case that shocked the whole country. All the policemen and foremen in the gate were sent to Shouyue Peak. For many years, there has been no such major case. , I must have been busy recently." The servants of the Shen family had some friendship with Xing Bu Kuai, so Xing Bu Kuai revealed a few more words.

"Last night, tragedies occurred in several places in the imperial capital. The casino in the south of the city, the restaurant in the north of the city, the rouge shop in the west of the city... They were slaughtered overnight, leaving no one behind. This matter is very mysterious."

"The wise and powerful Empress Dowager Su passed away only one day ago, and such a tragedy happened. Without Empress Dowager Su, this peaceful life may come to an end." The servant said melancholy.

"Hey, if it wasn't for the fact that Empress Dowager Su had been a hostage in Nanchen Kingdom when she was young, so she suffered from an old illness, she wouldn't have passed away without knowing her fate. It's all due to the Nanchen dog thief!" The criminal arrester quickly patted the servant of the Shen family Shoulder, "When Wu Zuo, who performed the autopsy on the servant girls of the Shen Mansion, returns, I will send someone to send the autopsy results to the Shen Mansion."

"Thank you very much. Thank you!" The servant of the Shen family went out six doors to return, and came back after a while, "Our young lady wants to see that maid again with her own eyes."

The criminal policeman was surprised and said, "Isn't she afraid?" Of course, he had heard of the arrogant Shen Shengge.

"You also know..." The servant hesitated to speak.

"Understood." He didn't want the news to spread tomorrow, Shen Shengge made a big fuss across the six doors, whipping the police, "Follow me."

On the carriage leaving the six doors, Su Wunian analyzed alone. Just now, she could only see Sui Qing's body, but not touch it.There was no visible injury, no blood on the whole body, the face and mouth were purple, and there seemed to be fluff in the nostrils, as if someone had covered his mouth and nose, and died of suffocation.

If the regent's people want to kill Sui Qing, why bother?He has many masters in his hands, if he wants to kill Sui Qing, he can kill him with a single blow.So who killed her?And why did you kill her?

Along the way, I stopped by a silk shop and asked if Suiqing left the food box yesterday, the boss shook his head.

The people from Shen's mansion left, and the little girl next to the boss came over and whispered: "The Shen mansion is a big family, but they just lost a food box? Why are they so caring? Could it be that the food box of the eldest lady of the Shen family Is it worth a lot?"

When Shen's carriage came yesterday, the level of luxury was astounding, anyway, he had never seen such a gorgeous carriage.

"Who knows? Pass it on, if anyone sees the food box, send it back to the Shen residence."

"Oh." Xiao Er pouted.

Slave shop.

With her slender hands, Shen Shengge gracefully picked up the blue and white porcelain tea lid, and a mist curled towards her face, mixed with the clear fragrance of tea.Peel off the green tea floating and swirling on the water, and take a sip.

Sitting by the window of the wing room on the second floor, the wing room is surrounded by a circle, and the wooden platform in the center of the pavilion can just be seen from the window.On the circular wooden platform stood a trafficked slave, with chains on his hands and feet, ragged clothes and messy hair.

The shopkeeper with a flattering smile bent over and warmly introduced: "Miss Shen, these are the lowest lowly slaves, you just look at them first, if there is someone who can catch your eye, I will send someone to send you back to Shen's residence."

"If you don't like it, it doesn't matter. There are still many high-quality slaves behind, many of whom are officials who have committed crimes. They are proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

"It's just to choose a servant who can serve others, not a concubine. What do you want to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?" Su Wunian put down the blue and white porcelain teacup heavily, and said angrily.

"Yes, yes, I didn't think well." The shopkeeper hurriedly apologized, and in order to ease the embarrassment, he casually pointed to a dirty slave, "This, Mrs. Zhang, who served Hanlin scholars before, won Mrs. Zhang's favorite."

Su Wunian glanced down, her face expressionless.

The shopkeeper hurriedly waved to the tall man beside him, "Miss Shen didn't like it, quickly change to a group of people who can take care of people, preferably those who have been slaves before."

"Yo, isn't this Shen Shengge? How did it appear here?" A woman's voice came from the window of the wing diagonally opposite, "Oh, by the way, I heard that your personal servant girl died last night."

"Oh, it's so pitiful. Either your maid suddenly died suddenly, or she was beaten to death with a random stick. Why don't your maids live long?"

Judging by the tone of voice, Su Wunian knew that the visitor was not kind. Su Wunian raised her eyes, and there was a man wearing a light apricot embroidered skirt standing by the window of the wing diagonally opposite. He was only ten years old and had sharp teeth. .Followed by two well-dressed maids, who didn't know, thought her maid was also a lady from a wealthy family.

After empathizing with Shen Shengge, Su Wunian naturally recognized her, the jewel in the palm of Lord Zhou, had a deep grudge with Shen Shengge, and slandered Shen Shengge everywhere, which was one of the reasons why Shen Shengge became notorious.

Naturally, Su Wunian relentlessly had a verbal argument with a ten-year-old girl, and turned her eyes back to the slave.

Zhou Lingli saw that she was being ignored, as if she had been greatly insulted, but she still refused to let go, "Hey! Shen Shengge, talking to you, are you deaf?!"

Su Wunian ignored it, and with a wave of her little hand, the shopkeeper understood, and bent down to listen.

"Shopkeeper, do you want to make a fortune?"

"All ears."

"Oh——" the door of the wing room was pushed open roughly, and Zhou Lingli walked in aggressively, "Shen Shengge, I heard that you were frightened last night, didn't you be scared out of your wits? How dare you pretend to be deaf!"

"I heard? Who did you listen to?" Shen Pingxi was worried that the news of his disappearance last night would damage the reputation of the Shen family, so the entire Shen family kept silent about the matter, and if anyone spread the news, they would be killed immediately.

So, how did Zhou Lingli know about it?
Only then did Zhou Lingli realize that she had made a slip of the tongue, and raised her hand to cover her mouth, "I..."

"Lord sister, Shen Mengxi." Su Wunian pointed out that the only person in Shen's residence who had a close relationship with Zhou Lingli.

Zhou Lingli did not deny it.

Shen Mengxi is the eldest daughter of the second wife, the concubine daughter of the old Lord Zhou married to the second wife of the Shen family, and Shen Mengxi is Zhou Lingli's cousin.

"So you're not deaf!" Zhou Lingli said angrily.

Su Wunian showed a provocative smile, turned her head and pretended to bother to choose a maid, "Shopkeeper, this." Bai Yuwuxia's little finger pointed to a certain slave in the middle of the round wooden platform, "I want this, this, this, and that."

And Zhou Lingli was completely irritated by Su Wunian's contemptuous and provocative smile, "Shopkeeper, I want all of these lowly slaves she fancy."
