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

Chapter 292 Zhang Family
Under Shen Pingkai's favor and protection, Zhang Zhilan was finally confined to the small courtyard.

Chu Muchen and Su Wunian couldn't go any further. After all, once Mammy Jiang died, even if Zhang Zhilan used some means, there would be no proof of death.

But as long as the matter of poisoning is not thoroughly investigated for a day, then Chu Muchen and Su Wunian can stay in the prime minister's mansion openly and take care of the aunt in secret.

In the middle of the night, the door was closed tightly, and everyone had their own plans.

Mrs. Zhu is secretly happy. Now that Mrs. Zhang has been grounded, she has lost her good reputation as a good wife and mother outside, and lost the trust of the old lady and elder brother inside. She just needs to wait quietly for Shen Shengge and General Chu to fight Mrs. Zhang down. Reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Originally, she lost the support of her natal family, but some time ago, she relied on others, and even the servants dared to show her face. Facing the people of Shen's residence, she didn't even dare to speak too loudly, and she was bullied by Zhang's everywhere.

Now, once Mrs. Zhang falls, she will be in charge of the back house of the Shen family, so she can finally feel proud.Her Mengying can also choose a good family slowly.

When thinking of Mengying, Mrs. Zhu thought of the shameless Shen Mengli, who ruined the reputation of the Shen family's daughter, which would definitely affect Mengying's marriage proposal in the future.

"If I get the chance, I will definitely teach that shameless little bitch a lesson."

Zhang Zhilan, you'd better not fall into my hands.

The candlelight trembled slightly, and the wind outside the window was getting stronger and stronger, rushing in and blowing the window open.

Two sounds of "咵咵", frightened Zhang Zhilan, who was restless, his shoulders slightly shivered, his face turned pale, as if he had been greatly frightened.

Shen Pingkai's eyes were gloomy, and he was sitting on the edge of the bed, with one hand on his knee, tapping his index finger one by one.

"Did you inject the poison?"

Zhang Zhilan denied it flatly, "Master, don't even you trust my concubine now?"

"Nurse Jiang has served you for many years, so is it true that her wheeze has nothing to do with you?" Shen Pingjin questioned.

"Yes, of course it's related. It's the concubine who harmed her. The concubine is sorry for her, and even more sorry for her family."

"If my concubine hadn't put on some more face powder today to attract butterflies, she wouldn't have relapsed and died."

"A family of sixteen, why are you so vicious?" Seeing Zhang Zhilan admitting it, Shen Pingchen was inevitably a little disappointed with Zhang Zhilan. He always thought that she was kind, virtuous, gentle and considerate, but he didn't expect it to be a disguise.

Shen Pingjin didn't hate Zhang Zhilan's viciousness, but also hated Zhang Zhilan's disguise and deception to himself.

"It's not a concubine, and I don't know who sent someone to kill Jiang Nanny's family. Maybe it was Shen Shengge who deliberately used a divorce scheme to make Jiang Nanny and my concubine turn against each other."

"Between? Divorce?" Shen Pingzhen instantly understood the meaning of the words, "So it was really you."

Shen Pingjin stood up and grabbed Zhang Zhilan's hand fiercely, "Zhang Zhilan, do you really think that anyone can be tricked by your applause?"

With such direct gaze and condescending scrutiny, Zhang Zhilan's eyes flustered and he dodged left and right, "Master, you misunderstood my concubine..."

"Misunderstanding? Do you really think others are fools?" Shen Pingxi's hands became more and more uncontrollable.

"Master, you hurt my concubine..." Tears welled up from the corners of Zhang Zhilan's eyes.

Although Shen Pingkai saw the tears in her eyes, he was not moved at all, his gloomy eyes were full of indifference, "Zhang Zhilan, today, I can see your true face clearly."

"You disappoint me so much."

Zhang Zhilan's strength suddenly increased, and she only broke free slightly, then broke free from Shen Pingjin's tightly held hand.

Shen Pingchen was taken aback for a moment, when did the always weak and delicate lady become so strong?

Looking at the red wrist, the tears in the corners of Zhang Zhilan's eyes disappeared, full of indifference and alienation, and sarcastically said: "In this case, why did the master save me from General Chu today?"

At this moment, she no longer needs to call herself a "concubine".

"By handing me over, wouldn't it just be possible to solve the difficulties of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"Hey!" There was a loud noise, and there was already a strong wind outside the window, with lightning and thunder.

Suddenly, the lights in the room were blown out.

Zhang Zhilan raised her head slightly, despair flashed in her eyes, from the moment she put on this maroon gold silk pattern dress, everything was already doomed.

"That's right, I'm the prime minister's wife, the daughter of the Zhang family. If I admit that I poisoned my sister and Shen Shengge, the prime minister's mansion will lose the influence of both the Zhang family's and Chen Guogong's mansions. This will not be good for the prime minister's mansion." .”

"Do you think I married you because of your status as the daughter of the Zhang family?"

"Joke! What is there in your Zhang family that is worthy of my plan?"

"Master, do you really think that you can rise to the top step by step and rise to the top because of your own strength?"

Shen Pingyu was also in a hurry, it was a matter of his dignity, Zhang Zhilan's move was undoubtedly challenging his bottom line, "I don't rely on myself, do I rely on you?"

"You should make it clear, what did your Zhang family help me?"

"Master, if you think about it carefully, didn't your journey go too smoothly?" Zhang Zhilan reminded him coldly, completely gone from her usual softness and tenderness.

Her expression, her words, were as cold as a stone.

Shen Pingkai thought back carefully, since he became an official, it has indeed been smooth and smooth, and he has risen steadily all the way until he became the prime minister of a country.

But he attributes the credit to his own abilities.

Of course, everyone has a Rashomon in their hearts, and Shen Pingchen is no exception.Therefore, even if he has doubts, he will not admit it.

Obviously, Zhang Zhilan found the answer he wanted from Shen Pingjin's silence, "Master, I have done too much for you and this family."

"I hope you will treat our Li'er well in the future as always. She has also been taught a lesson for her self-willedness."

"I've already dealt with the matter of the lowly slave, so you don't have to worry about it, master."

"The master wants to hand me over, and I have no complaints."

Shen Pingzhen realized that there was something in Zhang Zhilan's words, "Ma'am, what do you mean by that?"

"Even if you really did poison, I will protect you to the end."

Zhang Zhilan frowned slightly, a ray of softness flashed across her firm eyes.

"Besides, Chu Muchen doesn't have conclusive evidence now, so he can't touch you at all."

The corners of Zhang Zhilan's mouth twitched, and she wanted to say something more, but she only gave a soft "um".

Brilliant Pavilion.

The strong wind kept shaking the windows.

Su Wunian and Chu Muchen were lying on the bed, the two respected each other as guests, staring at the white feathers falling in the middle of the top of the bed, unable to fall asleep.

"The person who was watching the Zhang family came to report that the Zhang family did not behave abnormally after receiving the news from Shen's residence." Su Wunian's delicate red lips parted slightly.

"The Zhang family, Minister of the Ministry of War, how could it be such a coincidence?" Chu Muchen analyzed.

"What a coincidence?"

"Do you still remember the assassination that night in the blind shooting competition?"

"Of course I remember." A trace of doubt flashed across Su Wunian's cold eyes, and then he woke up like a dream: "The minister of the Ministry of War was assassinated that night and was demoted because of his poor supervision. Later, Zhang Songheng was promoted. This incident indirectly allowed the Zhang family to control the Ministry of War .”

"Zhang Zhilan has no reason to collude with those people, but those people have reasons to collude with the Zhang family."

"However, what I'm more curious about now is where Zhang Zhilan's poison came from." Su Wunian's eyes darkened, "I always think that the person who gave her the poison is the key."
