Chapter 188 Guests are coming
  Shen Zhuoxi's words finally made Ergou expressive.
  He pushed hard on the ground and tried to get up: "The villain's younger brothers and sisters will definitely be fine."
  "Innocent." Shen Zhuoxi said slowly: "You brothers and sisters are harmonious. If something happens to you suddenly, they will definitely want to help you find the truth."
  "Once it starts, there is no way back. Just in case, what will that person do to your younger siblings? You can't even imagine this?"
  Ergou snarled and suddenly fell back into the haystack: "It was a mistake of mine that killed them!"
  "You still have room to regret, as long as you tell who instigated it." Shen Zhuoxi said in a persuasive manner: "You did something wrong, and I can't guarantee that I can forgive you, but your family will never be involved!"
  "Villain, villain..." Ergou hesitated, struggling in his heart.
  Seeing that he was loose, Shen Zhuoxi took the opportunity to say: "Don't worry, I'm here and I can definitely protect you. Behind me are the Queen Mother and His Royal Highness Prince Yu!"
  This promise of hers is like a magic needle that fixes the sea.
  Ergou gave up the resistance and said: "The villain is willing to tell everything. The reason why the villain attacked those fish is because of the threat of Maizi around the young master. He has something to do with the villain!"
  "The villain once took back the unused ganwotou from the kitchen, and also took a smelly fish, and other things that the Grand Master's Mansion would never want, and the other boys didn't like them."
  "The villain is poor, and his parents can still deal with him a few times if he takes it back. Maizi accidentally found out about these things, and he used this as a threat. If the villain doesn't do what he said, he will report him."
  "Steal things from the house. Once you are kicked out, no one will dare to take them. The villain has no choice but to do as he says!"
  Shen Zhuoxi frowned and said, "Do you have any evidence that he instigated you?"
  Ergou thought for a while and said, "I don't know if this counts as evidence, but it's just oil paper wrapped with quicklime. Originally, Maizi asked the villain to use it and then burn it."
  "The little man saw that the oily paper was of good quality, so he decided to keep it. He wanted to take it back to pack something else. Now it is folded in the little man's bag. Do you see it?"
  Shen Zhuoxi ordered people to get it, and continued to say to Ergou: "The chef treats you well, but Maizi threatens you, don't you know how to tell the chef?"
  Ergou's eyes were slightly red, and he choked up and said: "Second Miss, at this stage, the villain knows that he can't hide it. In fact, the villain steals things that the Taishi Mansion doesn't want, and the master knows it."
  "It's just that he pitied the villain and turned a blind eye. The villain was worried that the master would be implicated. Maizi also said that if the villain didn't do it, the young master knew many people. Killing the villain's younger brother and sister would be the same as crushing an ant. Same."
  "After a few levels, even if the villain no longer wants to do it, he must do it!"
  "When I get to the Grand Master, I'll tell you what the truth is. Don't worry, Shen Zehuan won't dare to do anything to your younger brothers and sisters." Shen Zhuoxi reiterated again: "You have a good rest."
  "I will send someone to stay here and carry you over when I need you."
  Zhuye ordered someone to bring the oil paper that the boy had mentioned. Shen Zhuoxi looked at it carefully and couldn't help but feel happy - Shen Zehuan didn't expect Ergou to burn the oil paper instead of following his instructions.
  So the oil paper he used was specially used to wrap rice paper, which is moisture-proof and insect-proof.
  In the entire Taishi Mansion, except for those in Shen He's mountain house, only Shen Zehuan's house had this thing.
  Although there is oil paper in the other rooms, they are completely different from this one!
  Coming out of the kitchen, Zhuye couldn't help but said: "Young miss is so awesome. Not only did she find out about the arson in the ancestral hall, she also found out everything about the fish killing in the kitchen!"
  "It's not the time to be happy yet." Shen Zhuoxi frowned and said, "One is the maid beside the eldest lady, and the other is the maid beside the young master. They both represent their respective masters."
  "If it's just an ordinary family banquet, it would be okay. If such a scandal occurs today on the Ghost Festival, Master Aether's temperament may not necessarily punish the siblings."
  Zhuye disagreed: "The truth is before our eyes, can the Grand Master still be openly partial?"
  Shen Zhuoxi didn't answer. What she was most worried about now was that for the sake of the reputation of the Taishi Mansion, the Grand Master would use Shen Jingya, a loser, as a scapegoat to protect Shen Xinyu and Shen Zehuan!
  This time, if Shen Xinyu's sister and brother are not hurt, she will not be Shen Zhuoxi!
  She went through what happened today in her mind, and quietly gave Zhuye a few words before returning to Qingfeng Tower.
  Before dinner, a guest unexpectedly came to visit.
  Originally, foreign visitors were generally not accepted on the Ghost Festival, especially when the Taishi Mansion was in various situations.
  But Shen Heshan didn't dare to refuse the visitor - King Yu Jing Muling!
  Jing Muling's arrival surprised everyone, including Shen Zhuoxi.
  When she received the news and rushed to the front hall from Qingfeng Building, Jing Muling was already surrounded by everyone. She didn't know if it was because Jing Muling couldn't see him, but everyone looked at him unscrupulously.
  Shen Zhuoxi only felt that Jing Muling was like a rare species being watched, which was a bit funny.
  When Shen Zhuoxi came, everyone calmed down and sat upright. However, sister Shen Wanwan still looked at Jing Muling quietly, even her face turned red.
  "My daughter has met the prince." Shen Zhuoxi saluted according to etiquette and said, "Why are you here?"
  "I have some discomfort in my eyes, and I would like you to take a look." Jing Muling ignored the gazes of others and said to Shen Zhuoxi: "I paid homage to my ancestors in the palace, and it just so happened that the Queen Mother was thinking about Princess Xiaoqing."
  "I also ordered my king to come and offer incense sticks to Princess Xiaoqing with the Queen Mother's wishes."
  "On behalf of my deceased mother, I would like to thank the Empress Dowager and His Highness King Yu for their concern." Shen Zhuoxi saluted again and said: "There are many people here, and the pulse diagnosis is always stable. If you don't mind it..."
  Before he finished speaking, Shen Heshan took over and said, "Everyone go to the side hall and wait. His Highness King Yu will come back after checking your pulse."
  Shen Heshan knew that Shen Zhuoxi was going to invite people to Qingfeng Tower. Qingfeng Tower was remote and there were not many furnishings inside. Jing Muling couldn't see it, so there was no guarantee that the boy next to him wouldn't tell.
  So he had to leave people in the front hall.
  However, if Shen Heshan knew what happened next, he would definitely not say anything like this!
  Everyone followed his instructions and went to the side hall to wait. After Shen Zhuoxi checked Jing Muling's pulse, he said, "The prince's pulse is still fine. Is the range of light that your eyes can see wider?"
  Jing Muling nodded and said, "It's a little bigger than before. I can see the halo, but I still can't see clearly."
  "It's a good thing that it's slowly recovering." Shen Zhuoxi took back her hand and whispered: "Your Majesty, the Grand Master's Mansion is not very stable today. After you finish offering the incense, you'd better go back quickly."
  In fact, Jing Muling came here because he got the news. He knew that someone in Taishi Mansion was causing trouble for Shen Zhuoxi, and Shen Heshan sent someone to ask the Taoist Priest to target Shen Zhuoxi.
  He was worried that Shen Zhuoxi would suffer if she had no one to protect her, so he told the Queen Mother openly and secretly that he came here on the pretext of offering incense to Princess Xiaoqing.
  Just as he was about to speak, the butler's voice suddenly sounded outside: "Grand Master, the kitchen boy is here!"
