Chapter 17 The Bowl of Soup Last Night
"My lord." Bai Bian waited for Shen Zhiyun outside the prison with two horses.

The breeze blew through the treetops, and the leaves swayed.

Shen Zhiyun and Gu Hanshu were finally released.

Bai Bian pulled the two horses and waited outside, the jail did not allow him to approach, and he was still some distance away from Shen Zhiyun.

The torrential rain last night barely stopped this morning, and the streets were still wet, with puddles forming one after another.

Shen Zhiyun came out of the prison with a white headband tied with blue silk, and changed into the prison uniform, which was the same as when he entered.

The guard of the Imperial City Division stood guard at the gate, and closed the gate after Shen Zhiyun went out.

Seeing Bai Bian from a distance pulling two horses but not driving a cart, he felt a little strange and didn't think much about it.

Seeing his master, Bai Bian rushed forward to greet him, "Master, Madam is critically ill, hurry back home!"

Shen Zhiyun was imprisoned in the imperial prison for three days, and he was extremely exhausted. At this moment, his heart thumped as if he had fallen off a cliff, and his expression was shocked, "How could it be? Didn't the doctor say that the situation has been very stable in the past few months?"

Shen Zhiyun took the rope and kicked his foot onto the horse's back.

"Time is urgent, I'll talk to you in detail later." Bai Bian also pulled the rope and got on the horse.

"drive!"

A master and a servant rode two horses through the streets, turned a few turns, the splashed mud dirty the horseshoes, and the clatter of horseshoes shattered the peace of the past.

Although the rain has stopped, there is still a little wind blowing.Riding fast, the cold wind blows from the temples, mixed with a flustered breath.

Going back to the mansion, you have to pass through the main street. There are many people, and the horseshoes have slowed down.

The yelling in Fangshi made people feel restless, and Shen Zhiyun was driving the horse, anxious.

After leaving the main street, the speed immediately picked up, and pedestrians who passed by went to both sides to avoid it, for fear of bumping into it.

The sound of hooves shattered.

"Call-"

The horse was still standing upright, Shen Zhiyun turned over and jumped off the horse, quickly jumped up the steps and entered the Shen residence.

Bai Bian followed behind and dismounted into the mansion, and followed Shen Zhiyun straight to Zhen's residence.

He almost bumped into a servant on the road, but he didn't look back, and ran towards the inner courtyard as if the soles of his feet were blown by the wind.

Only then did Shen Zhiyun rush to the door of Zhen Jingju, before Shen Zhiyun had time to push the door open, he heard Nanny Gui wailing sharply inside, "Madam! How will the old slave live if you leave!"

Shen Zhiyun's legs softened for a moment, and she didn't even have the strength and courage to push the door open.

The sound of people sobbing could be heard intermittently in the yard.

There was nothing more sad than heartbreak for a moment, Shen Zhiyun pushed open the door, walked through the yard and walked into the house.

Through a barrier to keep out the wind, she saw the hands hanging by the bed, kneeling on the ground and pawing Nanny Gui by the bed.

Both feet were filled with lead, and the grief that weighed ten thousand catties burned into fire, rushing to her brain, rolling all her rationality into wilderness with clamor and rage, for a moment, she was at a loss, the world was quiet, and only she was there With the quiet person in that bed.

She walked over with difficulty, and the few steps were as if cut by a knife. She was close and sharp, and sharp and painful. The pain made her breathe like swallowing a blade.

There was someone standing beside her, and Nanny Gui was startled, she looked up and saw that it was the young master, she wanted to say something to comfort her, but her throat stuck in her throat, she couldn't utter half of the words she should say, so she could only look aside Give way, let this moment, which is not even counted as the last moment, still have some tenderness.

Shen Zhiyun knelt beside the bed, took Jiang Haishi's hand, and put it on her chest.

Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, but her eyes were dry and tearless. Her mother had already left, so she didn't know what else to say.

Dark sticky emotions engulfed her.

"Nurse..." Shen Zhiyun's voice was weak and low, trembling a little.

When she spoke, the originally dry eye sockets filled with tears in an instant, and tears like beads slid down her face in strings.

"Young master." Nanny Gui supported Shen Zhiyun, worried that she would be too sad.

Shen Zhiyun shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

Now her eye sockets and nose are so sore together that she can't speak a complete sentence at all.

Slightly calmed down the turbulent pain that hit like a tide.

Only then did Shen Zhiyun take a deep breath, try his best to stabilize his breath, put his hands on Nanny Gui's shoulders, and said without doubt, "Mommy."

"Please be sure to tell me, Ma'am, what happened to Jane's Quiet House these days when I was away. I don't believe it, my mother doesn't want to wait for me to come back and take another look at me before resolutely leaving."

Shen Zhiyun has always treated her mother and Nanny Gui in a quiet life as a junior, respectful and respectful.

Only now did she show the aura of a powerful official who overturned the court, which made Nanny Gui a little shocked.

This is young master, ma'am, why did you go so fast, young master's bright road has just begun, why are you reluctant to accompany her to take another look?

Nanny Gui wiped away her tears, opened her mouth tremblingly, and hesitated to speak, "Master..."

"Mommy, let's get up and talk." Shen Zhiyun helped Nanny Gui up.

"My lord... my lord came to see my wife yesterday." Nanny Gui said after thinking about it.

Shen Zhiyun's heart tightened, "What is he here for? Didn't I send someone to guard outside the courtyard?"

Nanny Gui shook her head, "Madam was happy to know that the lord came to see her, let the lord come in, and sent us away..."

Nanny Gui couldn't help sobbing again, "Ma'am is really determined. Back then, when the Hai family was down and down, we servants couldn't bear to see how the lord treated Madam... Now the lord is giving Zhen Jingju a wink, Ma'am I couldn't help being happy in my heart, the old slave felt distressed after seeing it!"

She didn't know how much her mother loved Shen Pingshan, otherwise she would have separated from Shen Pingshan and established a separate family.

Poor her mother, who spent her life infatuated and wronged, from being a famous daughter in the capital to being sick and dying alone...

"Mother, please tell me in detail." Shen Zhiyun held back his grief and asked.

"The lord and his wife are in the house, and our servants are waiting in the yard... It was peaceful and harmonious, but suddenly there was some quarrel in the house. The old slave was worried, and was about to open the door to go in, when the lord came out with a very serious expression on his face. It was because of impatience. Suddenly there was a bang, and the old slave hurried into the back room. The wife fell off the bed, and the old slave went to caress the lady. As soon as she touched the lady, the lady raised her head, sprayed a mouthful of blood and passed out. The old slave I was scared, I was afraid that my wife would not wake up like this, so I went to see the doctor again..."

The more Nanny Gui recalled, the more her heart ached, her voice became a little fuzzy with eager articulates

"Don't worry, ma'am, tell me carefully." Shen Zhiyun grabbed Nanny Gui's arm, "My mother needs rest from this illness, if Shen Pingshan really came here and made my mother mad, I will definitely not let it go pass him."

As he said that, a cold light flashed in Shen Zhiyun's eyes.

Nanny Gui lowered her eyes sadly, she didn't pay attention to Shen Zhiyun's expression, she suddenly remembered some details, her pupils shrank, she suddenly raised her head, grabbed Shen Zhiyun's arm tightly, her lips trembled

"Young Master, Young Master, I remembered...I remembered."

Shen Zhiyun hurriedly asked, "What?"

"When the lord came, there were servants following him, carrying bowls of soup!" Nanny Gui said.

"How much did my mother drink? Where is the soup now?" Shen Zhiyun asked.

Nanny Gui slapped her thigh, and sighed angrily, "Madam vomited blood and fainted, Zhen Jingju was in a mess, I'm afraid she was taken out by some servant!"

According to Shen Pingshan's usual style, Shen Zhiyun was not in the mansion, and Shen Pingshan came to Zhen to live in seclusion to see Shen Haishi, which was really unusual, not to mention preparing soup, it was as if the sun came out from the west.

Now the soup is gone, and the people are gone, and it is impossible to verify whether they died of illness, anger, or poison.

But Shen Zhiyun couldn't calm down at this moment, she strode out of the door and called the hidden guard, "Yannan!"

Yan Nan flew down from the roof, and as soon as he stood in front of Shen Zhi, he felt the long sword at his waist being pulled out.

As a guard, he wanted to attack subconsciously, but his rationality made him realize that the person who drew the sword was his master, so he resisted the urge to do it, and only moved his hand lightly before putting it down.

Shen Zhiyun drew his sword and rushed towards Shen Pingshan's yard, Bai Bian shouted after him, "Young Master, Young Master! Don't be impulsive!"

He turned his head and shouted to Yannan, "Yannan, go find Lan Yu!"

Then he hurriedly followed Shen Zhiyun.

Shen Zhiyun broke into Shen Pingshan's courtyard with a sword, and the servants and guards were startled.

Respond quickly to stop.

Shen Zhiyun kicked the person blocking the way, and shouted, "Get out!"

"My lord! My lord!"

Yan Sanbai, an attendant by Shen Pingshan's side for many years, rushed into the room, and just as he opened the door, Shen Zhiyun, who came up behind him, kicked him into the room, and fell into the room with his face on the ground.

"Ah! Ah—" Aunt Jiang screamed in shock, her shrill voice was extremely ear-piercing.

"Rebel? You're going to be rebellious!" Shen Pingshan hurriedly put on his clothes and got out of bed.

The windows were closed in the room, the curtains were drawn, and the light was dim. He only saw Shen Zhiyun's appearance when he got out of bed.

The white belt is tied with blue silk, the hair is partly draped, and the eyes are cloudy, staring straight at him, holding a long sword in his hand, like a messenger who came to ask for his life.

Shen Pingshan couldn't help but his legs and feet softened, but he couldn't let go, "What are you going to do! Are you going to kill your father!"

Shen Zhiyun charged straight forward with the sword in hand, Shen Pingshan was shocked, and stepped back to touch the bed.

The sword came out of Shen Zhiyun's hand and flew towards Shen Pingshan.

Shen Pingshan was so shocked that he sat paralyzed on the bed, the sword brushed his face and threw it on the bed, and fell on Aunt Jiang's body against the wall.

"Ah! Killed!" Aunt Jiang's sharp voice sounded again.

"If you scream again, this sword will pierce your chest." Shen Zhiyun said coldly.

Aunt Jiang fell silent, trembling under the quilt, tears and snot coming out of her nose.

"Get out of bed... Get out!" Shen Zhiyun opened his mouth, and the cold air in the room became a little bit heavier.

Aunt Jiang rolled and tugged at the quilt and rolled out of the bed. The sword just missed it, and it was almost bloody!

She just ran out wrapped in a quilt, everything is not as important as life.

Shen Pingshan sat on the bed, his legs were frightened, "You, what are you going to do? Don't forget, you just came out of prison..."

Shen Zhiyun walked in front of Shen Pingshan, opened and closed his lips in a calm manner, as if asking, "Do you know how my mother is doing at the moment?"

Shen Pingshan didn't know why, "Lie down in Zhenju, otherwise, what else can I do?"

Shen Zhiyun took a deep breath, "My mother has gone."

Shen Pingshan was startled, he stuttered and said, "He, when?"

"When you and that woman were promiscuous in the daytime."

Shen Zhiyun couldn't help closing his eyes.

Mother, why are you so reluctant to let go of your Shen family, the relationship between husband and wife you maintain, your wolf-hearted husband, what kind of heartless person is...

"Let me ask you, did you ask someone to prepare the soup you brought to Zhen Jingju yesterday?" Shen Zhiyun looked directly at Shen Pingshan coldly.

"What? What kind of soup?" Shen Pingshan didn't expect the words to change so quickly.

"You asked about the bowl of soup yesterday, but it has something to do with your mother's death?" Shen Pingshan murmured inwardly. Could it be that the woman died of illness, but was poisoned to death?

"Did you ask someone to prepare it?" Shen Zhiyun continued to ask.

Shen Pingshan knew that he couldn't annoy Shen Zhiyun at this moment, and told the truth, "Your Aunt Jiang prepared it for me. If there is anything in it, it has nothing to do with me!"

"I really wanted to comfort your mother yesterday, but there is nothing..."

Before Shen Pingshan finished speaking, Shen Zhiyun turned around and left. She came to question Shen Pingshan, of course she did not believe that Shen Pingshan would kill her mother. Although Shen Pingshan was ruthless, there was no reason to take her mother's surname Life.

Seeing her leave, Shen Pingshan was so angry that the old blood in his heart was on his forehead.

Rebellious son, rebellious son!It's the other way around and I'm going to kill him!
When Shen Zhiyun walked out of the yard, Lan Yu and Yan Nan rushed over and stopped her, "What are you doing, my lord?"

"Go and kill Jiang Shi!" Shen Zhiyun angrily walked around Lan Yu.

She knew that Shen Zhiyun broke into the lord's yard with a sword, and now he came out of the yard again. It seems that the lord is fine. If there are dirty hands in this mansion, she already has a guess in her heart, and now that the guess is confirmed, she also has a guess in her heart. Angry, but she still needs to stop.

"My lord, don't be impulsive, Jiang can't be killed!" Lan Yu continued to stop her
"Then what do you want from me? My mother died strangely, can't I punish that dirty person for her?" Shen Zhiyun said with red eyes.

Lan Yu knelt down, "Young Master and Madam are close relatives of flesh and blood. It is right for you to investigate. Lan Yu just begs that you should not be impulsive, and don't hurt people's lives..."

She was afraid of Shen Zhiyun's impulsiveness, so she took Jiang's surname directly, and she just came out of the imperial prison, so many eyes and ears above the court, it's been a long time now, and it must not be confirmed.

"Young master, you can arrest and lock up Mrs. Jiang, you can do whatever you want. Now we don't have evidence, so we can't hurt people's lives!"

Shen Zhiyun scolded, "Get out of the way!"

"My lord, Ma'am hasn't passed the first seven days yet, she can see everything!" Lan Yu cried while grabbing Shen Zhiyun's robe.

Hearing about her mother, Shen Zhiyun calmed down a little bit, feeling sad in her heart, she was restricted by the imperial court, Gui Nanny, Lan Yu, Bai Bian, and so many people in the mansion, if she got into danger on the spur of the moment, these people would be what to do.

She closed her eyes, the corners of her eyes were rosy, she was silent for a while, and then said, "Lan Yu, I understand."

"Yannan."

"Yes." Yan Nan responded.

"You lead people to lock up Jiang Shi, and don't allow anyone to see her! You don't need to give her food, just starve her like this, lock her up!"

"Yes!"

Let Yannan go instead of going by herself, because she is afraid that Jiang can't help but let her die and be buried with her mother when she sees her again!
