Chapter 65 Arousing suspicion
  Shen Xinyu was not angry, she still had that light temperament.
  Over the years, she has learned to keep her emotions and anger hidden. She explained: "Shen Zhuoxi's medical skills came suddenly. She became stupid at the age of five, and she only had Aunt Ju to accompany her."
  "Aunt Ju is a maid. Even if I can teach her to read, it's just barely enough. The medical skills can be explained by inheriting Princess Xiaoqing's talent. What if it's poetry?"
  Yu Qinglian thought about it and instantly understood what Shen Xinyu meant: "Are you doubting Shen Zhuoxi's identity?"
  "Yes." Shen Xinyu nodded and said, "Since she woke up, whether it was doing things, talking or anything else, she has changed a lot. She is completely different from the old Shen Zhuoxi."
  "I was thinking a few days ago, what can make a person completely transformed in a short period of time, and the only answer is not the same person!"
  When she said this, Yu Qinglian also felt that there was something fishy, ​​and said: "No wonder I said something is wrong, but if she is not Shen Zhuoxi, who can she be?"
  "I don't know about that either." Shen Xinyu took a deep breath and said, "I just have suspicions. It just so happened that His Highness the Crown Prince sent a message in the afternoon that he would be admiring lotuses at Tianyue Lake outside the city tomorrow."
  "There are several young men from aristocratic families and scholars who are going with her. To appreciate the lotus, she must recite poems. If she knows poetry, then she must be worthy of suspicion!"
  Yu Qinglian nodded: "Okay, you test it first. If she is really not the same Shen Zhuoxi she used to be, then we can make plans."
  For several days, Shen Zhuoxi did not go to Prince Yu's Mansion. While Jing Muling was busy, she sat in front of the desk, looking distracted.
  When Zheng Qing was grinding, he saw that the words in Jing Muling's pen were blurred, and he carefully reminded: "Master, the tip of the pen is dripping with ink."
  Jing Muling finally came back to her senses, put the pen on the pen holder, and asked, "How many days has it been since the second lady came?"
  Zhengqing hurriedly said: "It's only for one day. I sent someone to inquire. The second lady accidentally rescued the eldest son of Youxiang Mansion. She has been busy going to Youxiang Mansion these past few days."
  "Huh, you are such a heartless thing. You only think about others and forget about this king, your benefactor." Jing Muling snorted coldly, with a sour taste in his words that he was not even aware of.
  "Then..." Zhengqing didn't know what to do. He scratched his head and said, "Why don't you go see the second lady?"
  "Go as Yu Mu." Jing Muling sighed: "I'll go in a minute."
  When Shen Zhuoxi returned to Qingfeng Tower, Huizhi also appeared and brought back the things Shen Zhuoxi asked her to check.
  Dragonfly was one of our own, and Huizhi didn't hide it. He directly handed a few pieces of paper to Shen Zhuoxi and said, "Miss, you are right, there is indeed something wrong with Yu Qingbo."
  "He is an inspector of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He doesn't have much money. He lives in the Yu family's mansion with his wife, children and children. He is quite frugal in food and clothing. However, during the investigation, the slave girl discovered that his wife, Sun, has another house outside. "
  "It's on the street next to Prince Yu's Mansion. The house alone costs a lot of money, and it's well-equipped with servants. The decoration is extremely luxurious, and even the decorations are the best."
  "Has Sun's family checked it out?" Shen Zhuoxi asked to make sure everything was safe.
  "I checked." Hui Zhi pointed to one of the pieces of paper and said, "Sun is from a small family. It is impossible for her mother's family to provide gold and silver. The silver must have been given by Yu Qingbo."
  "In order to behave differently from the old Earl, Yu Qingbo insisted on only having the Sun family. However, during the investigation, the slave girl found that he had an outhouse on Long Street."
  "The outer room was born in a brothel. Her name is Yingge. She has already given birth to two sons and a daughter. Mrs. Sun doesn't know anything about it yet."
  "Interesting." Shen Zhuoxi looked through the things in his hands, which were the remaining land deeds. The owners of the land deeds were Sun and Yingge.
  Huizhi added: "Sun still has an account in the bank, and she doesn't have much money, just over three hundred thousand taels."
  Yu Qinglian had embezzled at least 100,000 taels of gold, which was converted into silver worth one million taels. Including the silver withheld from the Shen family, it was definitely more than 300,000 taels.
  Shen Zhuoxi asked: "How many are there in Yingge?"
  Huizhi pointed at one of the pieces of paper and said, "There are three accounts under Yingge's name. They are opened in the name of his son and daughter. Each account has seven or eight hundred thousand taels respectively."
  "That is to say, Yu Qingbo's money alone is as much as three million taels." Shen Zhuoxi clicked his tongue twice and said, "No wonder the Grand Master's Mansion took advantage of my mother's dowry and lived so hard. I want Han Xiangru’s family to take the money.”
  "What are your plans?" Hui Zhi saw her expression was different and said, "All the money will be transferred to the name of the Yu family. There is a small pawn shop under the name of the Sun family, and most of the money is accounted for from there."
  "If we really pursue it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to verify."
  "Sun's three hundred thousand taels is the small end, it doesn't matter. Yingge's side is the big end." Shen Zhuoxi smiled: "I have no intention of getting this money back through the Shen family."
  "How old are Yingge's two sons?"
  Huizhi thought for a while and said: "The eldest son is twelve years old, the younger son is nine years old, and the daughter is two years old."
  "Tsk, tsk, it seems that Yu Qingbo has hooked up with Yingge a long time ago. Where is the child named Sun?" Shen Zhuoxi asked again.
  "Sun has only one daughter, who is twelve years old." Huizhi paused and said, "It is said that she was born with dystocia, which damaged her roots and made her unable to have another child. For this reason, her mother-in-law made things difficult for her."
  "Let's start with the children." Shen Zhuoxi took out a small bottle from the cabinet, handed it to Huizhi and said, "Put these quietly in the meals of Yingge's children."
  "It's not a fatal poison, but it can scare people. If the child suffers a little bit, all he needs to do is force Yingge to go to Yi'antang."
  She is not a holy mother. When Yu Qinglian poisoned Shen Zhuoxi, who was only five years old, she didn't think anything of it. She will not be soft when dealing with Yu Qinglian!
  "Okay." Huizhi took the medicine and said, "I'll take care of it now."
  "Take some rest. I didn't sleep most of the night last night, and I've been running around all day today." Shen Zhuoxi stopped her and said, "We don't have to rush this matter."
  After the master and servant made plans, Shen Zhuoxi ordered everyone else to go down and rest. She was used to resting alone and didn't like others waiting around.
  Not long after the lights were turned off, Shen Zhuoxi had just fallen asleep when he heard a slight noise from the window.
  She knew it was Yu Mu, so she quickly got up, put on her clothes, opened the window, and complained, "Didn't you say you would contact Hui Zhi from now on and stop coming to my place?"
  "Humph, I haven't seen you for a few days and no news has been released. I must be worried. You are going to be my supporter." Yu Mu was as glib as ever. After entering the house, he hummed: "Why don't you light the lamp?"
  "You have the nerve to ask." Shen Zhuoxi blew out the huozhezi he had just lit and said, "You were seen when you came back last time, and you were trying to get rid of me."
  "Are you afraid of this?" Yu Mu raised his brows, and his face under the mask was full of disdain: "Last time, the ulterior servant by your side was not eliminated by the hands of Prince Yu's Palace?"
  "How about this time, take it to Prince Yu's Mansion again and ask Prince Yu to deal with it for you?"
