After rebirth, I seduced the abstinent Marquis and became the white moonlight

Chapter 27 Bullying goes too far
The maid's name was Xiaoshuang. She was fourteen years old and had been in the palace for more than a year. She came with her fellow villagers and was doing odd jobs in the yard. When she heard that the person opposite her was the third prince, she was so scared that she could hardly speak.

"Your Highness, I am Xiaoshuang. I have always been diligent in the general's mansion. I seldom even go out of the mansion. I have never done anything that is against the law of nature." Xiaoshuang said timidly.

Shen Ning smiled when he saw this: "Xiao Shuang, don't be afraid. His Highness is not here to interrogate you. He just has something to ask you. Just answer truthfully."

Xiao Shuang felt relieved after hearing this and turned to Zhao Qingxun: "Your Highness, please speak."

Zhao Qingxun looked at the sachet on her waist and asked directly, "Do you know where this sachet came from?"

Xiao Shuang didn't know why he was interested in this, so she answered honestly, "I went back to my hometown a few days ago and saw it on the roadside, so I bought it. By the way, that place is on the main road out of Yanggu Village."

Yanggu? Zhao Qingxun was a little unfamiliar with this name. He raised his chin and said, "Go on."

"Yanggu Village is the most remote county in Jizhou. The whole village is on a mountain. There is only one road in and out of the village. It is impossible to walk on rainy days. So it is very isolated. However, the people in that village are very good at using local materials to make a living.

There are many game animals in the mountains, and there are also ready-made herbs. They hunt and collect herbs, and when the weather is good, they sell them and make a lot of money. To be honest, there are relatively few people who use herbs to make sachets. I came across some that time and thought they smelled good and were cheap, so I bought a few. "

Zhao Qingxun lowered his eyes in deep thought, and then said, "Are you sure it's Yanggu Village, not Dongchang County?"

Xiao Shuang nodded: "Of course, it's my hometown, I can't make a mistake, these two places are quite far apart."

Rong Wan'er's grandmother's home was in Jizhou. On the way back, she happened to meet a girl who wanted to pawn a jade pendant. The third prince was the tallest and most handsome among all the princes. She recognized at a glance that it was the third prince's personal item.

At that time, the third prince had been attacked and there was a lot of controversy. Rong Wan'er thought it was a clue that could help her win credit, so when she bought it, she specifically asked the girl to tell her origins. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be more important than she thought.

With her parents' foresight, she accepted the identity of her savior and perfectly performed the role of a cat replacing a prince.

But when he turned back to kill her to silence her, he couldn't find the girl.

Rong Wan'er thought she was smart, but she didn't expect that others were not stupid either. The girl who sold the jade pendant naturally knew that the person she rescued was not an ordinary person, and she was not stupid enough to tell her real name and home address.

This is also the reason why Zhao Qingxun found nothing after investigating according to Rong Wan'er's description.

After hearing the whole story, Zhao Qingxun already had a plan in mind. He humbly thanked Shen Ning: "Thank you, Madam. I owe you a favor today. If you need any help in the future, I will definitely tell you everything I know."

Shen Ning felt quite touched after hearing this, but she didn't know that Zhao Qingxun's expression changed immediately after he left.

"Check the maid just now."

At this point, Zhao Qingxun looked back at the plaque of the general's mansion and added, "And there is Madam Si Yan."

Inside the mansion.

Shen Ning gave Xiao Shuang some money and let her go. Now that things were done, as long as Zhao Qingxun went looking for her, he would definitely be able to find her. She was not afraid that Zhao Qingxun would suspect her of having ulterior motives.

Xiaoshuang has a simple background, and it was purely an accident that she passed by Yanggu Village. There are so many roads back to Beijing anyway, and the coachman "happened" to take this road, so no one could say anything.

After seeing Zhao Qingxun off, Shen Ning started to get down to business. He took his men directly to the Duke's Mansion, knocked on the door, and went straight to the point.

"Get out of the way, I need to find my sister."

The steward at the door had been arranged long ago, and he had the guards guarding the door directly. He went forward and said, "Oh, Miss Shen, there is so much noise so early in the morning. If you don't know, you might think there is a thief in the mansion."

Shen Ning ignored his sarcasm and walked straight in.

The housekeeper blocked Shen Ning's way: "You think our Duke's Mansion is a vegetable market. You didn't hand in a visiting card, and you didn't get permission from our master. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to trespass into the Duke's Mansion." Shen Ning sneered: "My sister invited me to the gathering. Why, as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Duke's Mansion, isn't she the master here?"

The housekeeper froze for a moment, and immediately changed his words: "It is not convenient to see guests in the Duke's Mansion today. Miss Shen, please come another day."

Shen Ning said firmly: "I don't care if you have any inconveniences. I want to see my sister, not anyone else. Get out of my way."

While the two were arguing, the Duke's wife, Guo, came out and said sternly, "Who is making such a loud noise here?"

The housekeeper complained to Mrs. Guo, saying that Shen Ning refused to accept gifts and insisted on forcing his way in.

Guo looked at Shen Ning and said disdainfully: "I didn't know that the girls of the Shen family were so unruly. Didn't your mother teach you the rules?"

Shen Ning felt a rush of blood to his head, and said bluntly: "It's not your fault whether my mother taught me or not, but I don't know what shameful things the Duke's Mansion is doing, and they don't even let me in.

My sister married into the Duke's Mansion, not sold to you. She doesn't even have the right to come and go freely. Are you putting her under house arrest?"

Seeing that Shen Ning had no respect for her, Guo threw her sleeves and said, "What a sharp-tongued girl! How can our Duke's Mansion not allow you to have a say? I'm putting my words here today. You won't be allowed to enter this gate. What can you do about it!"

Shen Ning nodded: "Okay, then don't blame us for forcing our way in."

When Mrs. Guo heard this, her face suddenly changed: "How dare you? What do you think this place is? How can you run wild? Come on, block the door for me. Don't let even a fly in."

Shen Ning refused to be outdone and called out to the guards behind him: "Go in!"

Her intuition told her that something must have happened to her sister, and she had to take her away today.

General's Mansion.

Ling Xiao hurriedly found Si Yan and said, "General, it's bad. Madam and her men are fighting with the people from the Duke's Mansion."

The Duke's Mansion.

When Shen Ning saw Shen Rou, who was so thin that she was just a bag of bones, kneeling in the ancestral hall copying Buddhist scriptures, he burst into tears.

"elder sister!"

Seeing that she could no longer conceal the truth, Guo stopped Shen Ning and said, "Everyone has seen it. Now get out. The ancestral hall is a quiet place and outsiders are not allowed to enter."

Shen Ning's eyes were red, and her heart was like a fire burning. She raised her hand and pushed Guo to the ground. She picked up the Buddhist scriptures in front of Shen Rou and threw them directly on the pile of tablets, saying angrily: "You are going too far!"

As the tablet fell to the ground with a crash, Guo almost fainted. She pointed at Shen Ning and said, "You, you are so outrageous!"

Shen Ningle was very happy to see her going crazy, and she helped Shen Rou up directly: "Sister, do you still want to stay in a place like this? They don't treat you as a human being at all. Come with me, even if you go to the countryside to farm, it's better than this."

Shen Rou didn't even have the energy to cry. She had never thought that her mother-in-law would be so cruel to her. She didn't give her food or sleep, and made her kneel here and copy Buddhist scriptures every day, saying that she could leave only when she figured it out. During this period, she was living a life neither human nor ghost. They looked at her like a criminal.

Shen Rou had seen through the Duke's Mansion this time. She hugged Shen Ning tightly, as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw: "Ningning, I want to go home."

Shen Ning regretted it and said that there was something wrong with the previous letters. It seemed that they were not written by her sister at all. If she hadn't discovered the clue, her sister would have been tortured for who knows how long.

Seeing that they dared to go out, Guo became anxious and ordered a group of people to stop the two people: "Nonsense, Shen Rou is my daughter-in-law who was married to me in a formal ceremony. How can you take her away just like that? Come on, arrest them for me."

As soon as the words fell, a cold voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Let's see who dares."
