Chapter 292 The Queen Mother wants someone
  When Shen Xinjiao came back, the Shen family's affairs had been settled, and there was still a smell of fire smoke in the air.
  She rushed to Jing'an Garden to take a look, and was frightened. She found Shen Zehuan in a blink of an eye.
  Shen Zehuan had just been scolded by Shen Heshan, and he had nowhere to vent his anger. He put all the blame on the attendant and got angry.
  "Brother, what are you doing?" Shen Xinjiao came in and saw Shen Zehuan's body covered in blood at all times, and said quickly: "Are you going to beat him to death?"
  Shen Zehuan took a breath, threw the riding crop on the ground, and said to the attendant: "Why don't you get out of here quickly?"
  "Why did Jing'an Garden catch on fire? They all said that my mother was sent to the government office. Is it true or false?" Shen Xinjiao was full of doubts and said, "When I left at night, weren't you still fine?"
  "My mother embezzled more than two million taels of silver from the Grand Master's Palace. When it was found out, my grandmother was furious and demanded that if she didn't hand over the money within three days, she would kill my mother." Shen Zehuan poured himself a glass of water.
  Zi Gu sat down and explained the matter in general, and finally laughed at himself: "My mother and I thought our calculations were in place, but we didn't expect that Shen Zhuoxi had a better move and had figured it out a long time ago."
  "She followed her plan and transported her grandmother away through the dog hole in the back, and then appeared after His Highness King Yu came down. With His Highness King Yu's backing, everything was too late."
  "Confused, really confused!" Shen Xinjiao was heartbroken and angry: "I have told you and mother a long time ago that the second sister is not the second sister before."
  "I told you not to deal with her. You must overestimate your capabilities. It's too late to say anything about this."
  Shen Zehuan took a sip of tea, his eyes were empty, and he said dejectedly: "You know how much mother hates Princess Xiaoqing. After Shen Zhuoxi recovered, she caused the eldest sister to go to Zhuangzi."
  "There are some things that I can't stop. No one can expect accidents."
  "Forget it, there's nothing you can do." After saying this, Shen Xinjiao still felt uneasy about Yu Qinglian, stamped her feet and said, "I'll beg the prince brother to find a way to see my mother!"
  With that said, he was about to walk out.
  Shen Zehuan grabbed her first and said, "Don't go."
  "Why, do you have to watch your mother die?" Shen Xinjiao couldn't help but shed tears: "No matter what she did, she will always be our mother!"
  "Before she left, my mother told me not to take revenge until I bring my eldest sister back." Shen Zehuan blamed himself and said, "My mother admitted all the crimes in front of everyone."
  "Even if you go to His Highness the Crown Prince now, there is nothing you can do. It will only increase His Highness the Crown Prince's dislike of the Grand Master's Mansion. You have finally made some progress with His Highness the Crown Prince, so it is better to be ruined by this incident."
  Shen Xinjiao couldn't stop her tears from falling: "So, we won't save mother?"
  Shen Zehuan nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, keep Qingshan here and avenge my mother in the future!"
  Shen Xinjiao stiffened in wiping her tears: "Are you going to provoke the second sister?"
  "Are you provoking me?" Shen Zehuan said with a sullen face, "Don't worry about this matter. You help her defeat the eldest sister, not just for His Highness. You just need to firmly control His Highness."
  Seeing that she couldn't make sense with him, Shen Xinjiao went out and went to Qingfeng Tower.
  After struggling for most of the night, Shen Zhuoxi was about to wash up and take a rest. He also knew the purpose of Shen Xinjiao's visit and spoke before her: "What are you doing here, Fourth Sister, at my place so late?"
  "Second sister." Shen Xinjiao suddenly stood up, knelt in front of Shen Zhuoxi, and said, "Please let my mother go for once!"
  Shen Zhuoxi looked at her and said with a chuckle: "I thought you were a sensible person, but I didn't expect you to be so confused. Can I let you go now if I want to?"
  "He poisoned Princess Xiaoqing and killed me. He stole more than two million taels of silver from the Grand Master's residence. He bribed his servants and set fire to kill the old lady and me."
  "Everything is acknowledged by your mother herself. What is it that I can't control?"
  Shen Xinjiao lowered her head and said in a low voice: "I know everything is my mother's fault. I beg the second sister to give her a chance to change things. The second sister is resourceful and will definitely find a way."
  "You overestimate me." Shen Zhuoxi paused and said softly: "Besides, I don't want to let her go."
  Hearing this, Shen Xinjiao raised her head in confusion and said in disbelief: "Second sister?"
  "How can you intercede for your mother?" Shen Zhuoxi stood up, walked to the Eight Immortals' table not far away, pointed to the incense burner on it and said, "Where is my mother?"
  "She kindly allowed Mrs. Yu to come in and treated her as an equal wife regardless of her status. Mrs. Yu was ungrateful and killed her and wanted to kill me. Let me ask you, how could my mother be so innocent?"
  Shen Xinjiao was speechless for a moment, and her eyes were covered with sadness.
  "Go back." Shen Zhuoxi lit three incense sticks, placed them in the incense burner, and said lightly: "This matter is not something you can get involved in."
  After Shen Xinjiao left, Shen Zhuoxi couldn't sleep for a long time. After thinking about it, she sent Hui Zhi to the prison to check on Yu Qinglian's condition.
  It's not that I'm worried about Yu Qinglian's health, but that she's afraid that Yu Qinglian will be unable to bear the pain and commit suicide. You can't let Yu Qinglian die so easily!
  Also going to the prison at the same time were people sent from the Queen Mother's Palace.
  The news of the fire in the Grand Master's Mansion had long been reported to the palace. The Queen Mother was worried about Shen Zhuoxi's safety and kept people watching what was going on in the Grand Master's Mansion.
  After knowing that Yu Qinglian personally admitted to killing Princess Xiaoqing, the Queen Mother could not wait to go to the prison for interrogation in person.
  Yu Qinglian thought it was just a dream until she was imprisoned in the Yamen Prison.
  When it came to the Grand Master's Mansion, His Highness King Yu deliberately sent someone to warn the governors of Shengdu, who all went to bed. After receiving the news, they hurriedly got up and came to interrogate in person.
  However, no matter how he was interrogated, Yu Qinglian still said what Taishifu said, which made it difficult for Zhizhou to handle.
  His Royal Highness King Yu sent someone to say that Yu could not be allowed to die like this. Judging from Yu's confession, it was enough to directly sentence her to death.
  Just when Zhizhou was at a loss what to do, Eunuch De and Hui Zhi sent by the Queen Mother arrived at the same time.
  Zhizhou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two of them: "Eunuch De came here in person. I wonder what the Queen Mother's orders are?"
  "Of course the Zajia family was ordered to come here to get someone." Eunuch De said in a high-pitched voice, with an unspeakable evilness in the corners of his eyes and brows: "The Yu family was sent by the Taishi Mansion."
  "The Queen Mother called her by name and wanted to take her into the palace."
  "He's here." Zhizhou ordered his servants to bring Yu, and then asked Huizhi, "What do you want from the second lady?"
  "Master Zhizhou, Eunuch De." Huizhi saluted and said with a smile: "The Yu family killed Princess Xiaoqing. My lady only asked the slave to come and inform her, so that the Yu family would not die easily."
  "It just so happens that the Queen Mother sent Eunuch De here, so the second young lady is naturally relieved."
  "Okay, the good man is here." Zhizhou smiled and said, "Then I will leave it to Eunuch De."
  "Yes." Eunuch De snorted lightly, turned to Hui Zhi and said, "The little girl is here just in time. You go back and tell the second young lady that the Queen Mother invites the second young lady to come to the palace tomorrow."
  "Yes." After Huizhi responded, he saw that Yu's beard and tail were still intact, so he went back to resume his life.
  The Queen Mother's affection for Princess Xiaoqing is no less than that of Shen Zhuoxi.
  Mrs. Yu will suffer much more than she did in Guan Yamen.
