Chapter 312 It may not be safe
  The mother-in-law's words made Shen Zhuoxi fall into deep thought.
  Shen Zhuoxi was certain that the person who picked up Shen Xinyu was definitely not sent by the Taishi Mansion.
  And the mother-in-law is so sure that Shen Xinyu knows the other party, could it be that Shen Xinyu hired someone to act in a play?
  Seeing Shen Zhuoxi's solemn expression, Hui Zhi asked the old lady sharply: "You were still unclear whether the eldest lady knew them, and then you changed your story and said they knew each other. What happened?"
  "The eldest lady came to Zhuangzi. Not only did you fail to take good care of her, but you also made her disappear without a trace. Aren't you afraid of taking responsibility?"
  The mother-in-law said quickly: "I really don't know whether I know them or not. After all, we people in Zhuangzi have never interacted with people from the Taishi Mansion, but looking at them, we should know them."
  "Besides, the eldest lady is not a child. She can definitely distinguish right from wrong. Would she still go with someone she doesn't know?"
  Shen Zhuoxi waved his hand and said: "You go down first, I will call you if there is anything else."
  "Yes." The mother-in-law breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly left the main room as if she was afraid that Shen Zhuoxi would regret it.
  "Miss, there is obviously something fishy." Seeing the old woman walking away, Hui Zhi whispered: "This old woman will say that she knows her at one moment, and then she will say that she doesn't know her at the same time. If she doesn't, the lady bought her off."
  Shen Zhuoxi paused, shook his head and said, "I don't think there is anything wrong with my mother-in-law. She is confused and inconsistent. She is probably frightened by us."
  "As for the person who came to pick up Shen Xinyu, he is indeed suspicious."
  Jing Muling said at the right time: "The only good news now is that the prince did not send someone to pick her up. The person who came here before us this morning is probably the person sent by the prince."
  "It's good news, but it's also bad news." Shen Zhuoxi narrowed his eyes and said, "Shen Xinyu is very scheming. If it weren't for her arrogance, it would have been impossible to bring her down so smoothly before."
  "After the last lesson, she will definitely be more careful when escaping from Zhuangzi. Besides, the identity of the person who picked her up is unknown. This is the biggest threat."
  Jing Muling comforted him: "Don't worry, as long as the person is still there, he can be found. It's not advisable to waste time. It's better to return to Shengdu as early as possible."
  The master and servants rested for a while on Zhuangzi and reapplied medicine and bandage to Jing Muling's wounds. Shen Zhuoxi called her mother-in-law to come over again. After asking some questions, she set off back to Shengdu again.
  After last night's fight, the few of them looked miserable, and they had no clothes to change, and Zhuangzi was unprepared. If they entered the city like this, they would probably cause an uproar. Fortunately, they met Zhengyang who came to greet them halfway.
  Zhengyang also drove a carriage, which just solved the urgent need.
  On the way, Zhengyang reported to Jing Muling what Zhengqing had found out: "Sir, you asked Zhengqing to investigate the prince's affair, and you really found out something about it. That person should be a concubine in the palace."
  "However, the prince's work is extremely secretive. At present, we can only find a few palaces in the south. In those palaces, there live Concubine Lin, Concubine Qin, Concubine Yun, Meiren Wu, Meiren Zhang, and Xin Yaosheng respectively. .”
  "Zhengqing is not sure who the prince is connected to, so he continues to investigate. I am worried that you will not be able to cope with it, so I asked the villain to come to greet him."
  When Jing Muling heard this, he paused and said, "Let Zhengqing come back first. If we can't find it once, we will alert the snake. The prince is probably watching this too."
  "If we want to investigate, we have to wait a few days before the prince realizes that we don't know who that person is."
  "The prince is right, the prince is definitely anxious to get closer to that person right now." Shen Zhuoxi added: "As long as we stay calm, the person will naturally get out of his way."
  "Yes." Zhengyang responded and asked: "Send the princess back to the Grand Master's Mansion first?"
  "It's definitely not possible to go back like this." Jing Muling made the decision: "Go directly to the palace and ask Cloth Shop to send a few sets of clothes."
  Jing Muling's injury could not be known to others. Shen Zhuoxi washed and changed clothes, took Jing Muling's pulse again, confirmed that the wound was fine, and ordered Zhengfeng to grab some blood-replenishing herbs before returning to the Taishi Mansion.
  Shen Zhuoxi didn't return all night, which naturally caused an uproar in the Taishi Mansion.
  Shen Heshan was upset by the events of the past few days, especially last night. It was obviously discussed and several people jointly went to the table to impeach Jing Muling.
  They have witnesses and physical evidence on hand, which is enough to make Jing Muling unable to stand up.
  As for the last minute matter, Prince Pian sent word overnight that he not only withdrew the authentication evidence, but also ordered that the matter should not be mentioned again.
  Shen Heshan really couldn't figure out what could make the prince change his mind temporarily!
  He let such a good opportunity to overthrow Jing Muling go!
  Shen and Shan were already very angry about this matter. Moreover, the day after tomorrow was the Mid-Autumn Festival, so the family had not prepared anything. The other brothers of the Shen family were all concubines, so it was difficult to deal with it.
  The old lady in the house was mentally and physically exhausted after a fire and she was not ready to work hard yet. The first lady in the house died suddenly, the second wife was divorced, and Shen Xinjiao was temporarily unable to take on the big responsibility.
  After thinking about it, only Shen Zhuoxi can do it.
  He wanted to ask Shen Zhuoxi for a few words, but he didn't expect to go to Qingfeng Tower and found out that Shen Zhuoxi didn't come back after going out last night!
  He figured it out, mainly because of the news from Princess Dunzhu. After being injured, she didn't want to see anyone, and she didn't know anyone else in Shengdu. Previously, she was only close to Miss Shen Er, and wanted to come to Taishi Mansion to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
  Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is tomorrow, can you not be anxious?
  Shen Heshan clearly knew that there was a conflict between Shen Zhuoxi and Dunzhu, but because of Shen Zehuan, he still chose to pretend not to know and wanted to bring them together.
  "Where have you gone?" Shen Heshan was sitting in the main hall with a cold look on his face: "You haven't been home all night, and I don't even know if there is any news. You haven't left the cabinet yet."
  "What kind of scandal is going to happen? Our Grand Master's Mansion will be embarrassed!"
  Facing Shen Heshan's question, Shen Zhuoxi looked calm and said, "His Royal Highness King Yu and I went out of the city to do something."
  "You!" Shen Heshan was choked for a moment, and his mouth was full of lessons, and then his tone was a little softer: "Even if you are King Yu, you are not married yet, and it is not like being alone."
  "Those who are pure will be pure themselves." Shen Zhuoxi was too lazy to go crazy with Shen Heshan and said, "What does the Grand Master want to do with me?"
  After all, Shen Zhuoxi still needed help. Shen Heshan held back his breath, cleared his throat, and said, "Your grandmother is still ill and it is inconvenient for others. You are responsible for this year's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."
  "Your grandmother also delivered it to you a few days ago. You don't need me to say anything to you. If you don't understand anything, you can ask your grandmother."
  "Yes, I know." Shen Zhuoxi raised his eyebrows: "If there is nothing else, I will go back first."
  "This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is not limited to people from the Grand Master's Mansion." Shen Heshan paused and then said: "There is also Princess Dunzhu. She will also come to the Grand Master's Mansion to celebrate the festival. You two have a good relationship."
  "She is still injured and is in a foreign land. As sisters, you should pay more attention to her emotions and accommodate her in her diet. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a day of reunion, so prepare some Qiang food at the banquet."
  Shen Zhuoxi raised his eyebrows: "All expenses will be deducted from the accounts of the Taishi Mansion, right?"
  "Yes." Shen Heshan said solemnly, "It's up to you."
  "I understand." Shen Zhuoxi smiled: "Grand Master, I said you were elegant and good-tempered before, but now you look like a bad old man who can't hold his temper?"
  "But you have to keep your temper. The prince has not yet ascended the throne, so your position may not be secure."
