Chapter 796 You’re Enough
During the meal, Shen Jingan was restless and kept thinking uncontrollably about Jinglou and the jade gourd around Shen Shuyi's waist.
Not until Shen Shuyi and Xie Jingchi left that night did Shen Jingan find Qin Xuerong.
"Mom... do you think Shen Shuyi knows about this?" Shen Jing'an frowned.
In fact, deep down, he didn't think Shen Shuyi could know it. After all, although more and more people knew about Jing Lou's connections, it was definitely not something that any student on the street could know.
He is interested in your identity and financial resources, and only spreads the news within the inner circle. How could Shen Shuyi, a woman, know all this?
Qin Xuerong also felt annoyed when she mentioned this. It felt like the enemy was holding a knife in his hand, hanging over their heads at any time.
"Whether she knows or not, we have to prepare as if we know it. Otherwise, how will we deal with it when the time comes?" Qin Xuerong said in a deep voice.
Shen Jing'an remained silent, and Qin Xuerong continued, "Besides, if she hadn't heard anything, how could she have thought of asking Hongying to steal those pawn vouchers and bills?"
After saying this, Qin Xuerong looked at her and asked again, "Are you really sure that the gourd that Concubine Jing gave her is the jade gourd in my mother's hand?"
The gourd was very exquisite, and she kept it all these years.
If she wasn't really short of money and was not afraid of delaying Anger's career in officialdom, she would never pawn the jade gourd.
But I didn't expect that the little bitch would get the advantage now...
Both mother and son were silent. After a while, Shen Jingan whispered, "Mom, Shen Shuyi has those bills in his hand now. I'm afraid we can't act rashly."
"Yes, this bitch is very scheming. If you push her into a corner, who knows what she will do?"
What Qin Xuerong didn't want to admit was that she always had an indescribable fear towards Shen Shuyi in her heart.
Shen Jing'an frowned and thought for a while: "Mother, do you think the person behind Jinglou... could it be the Eighth Prince?"
Qin Xuerong's eyes flickered, and her gaze fell on Shen Jingan: "What do you mean?"
"Back then, the Third Prince was at the height of his power, and Shen Shuyi dared to challenge him, let alone the Eighth Prince now."
"I just think that if the person behind Jinglou is really the Eighth Prince, if she continues to investigate, perhaps the Eighth Prince can come forward on our behalf..."
Shen Jing'an's wishful thinking was going on. Even if he really had a quarrel with Shen Shuyi over this matter, it would not be of any benefit to him.
It would be better to make the matter bigger, big enough for the Eighth Prince or Concubine Jing to take action.
Isn't his chance of winning much greater than when he deals with Shen Shuyi?
"But how can you be sure that the person behind Jinglou is the Eighth Prince." Qin Xuerong didn't understand much about court affairs, and now she just hated herself for not killing Shen Shuyi directly.
Now it has become a disaster of raising a tiger!
"My son has heard some rumors. Although there is no solid evidence, many people are privately speculating that it was the Eighth Prince."
What Shen Jing'an didn't say was that the Eighth Prince's maternal family, Concubine Jing's family, could be considered a clean family, or in other words, most of them were civil officials.
In the past years, several great scholars and important officials were involved in the imperial examinations. Although it was uncertain what the final questions would be, the Eighth Prince's maternal family was involved in almost every examination.
"So what are you going to do?" Qin Xuerong asked.
Shen Jing'an was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Didn't my eldest sister marry the Sixth Prince? Tomorrow is the third-day baptism ceremony for Lou's cousin's son. Why not take this opportunity to let my eldest sister reveal the news to the Sixth Prince?"
Qin Xuerong frowned, Sister Yu?
Sister Yu...is now living in seclusion. Because of the presence of Princess Hanyang and Lou Yulan, her life in the Sixth Prince's Mansion is not easy.
Moreover, Qin Xuerong felt from the bottom of her heart that Xiao Tingshan would not like Yu Jie'er.
She felt her scalp tingling when she saw a face like that, let alone a man.
"Shen Shuyi has always been at odds with the Sixth Prince, and they have had several arguments. Perhaps, if the Sixth Prince knows this news, he can talk to the Eighth Prince."
"Wait... why am I a little confused..."
Qin Xuerong frowned, unable to react: "But if this matter gets to the Sixth Prince's ears, wouldn't it be like he has something on the Eighth Prince? If we let him know about this, will the Eighth Prince blame us later..."
"Mom, we didn't let the Sixth Prince know this. It was Shen Shuyi who let the Sixth Prince know this." Shen Jing'an's eyes were full of calculations.
He knew that given his status, it would be difficult for him to talk to the Eighth Prince or Concubine Jing.
Even if you rashly mention this matter, you may be seen as a thorn in the eye.
So...the best way is to borrow someone else's help.
Because of the relationship between Shen Jingyu and even Lou Yulan, Shen Jingan thought that Xiao Tingshan was a good choice.
Qin Xuerong couldn't think of a better way for the moment, so she nodded: "This is the only way for now."
If Shen Shuyi could be eliminated with the help of the Eighth Prince or Concubine Jing, everyone would be happy.

The next day, early in the morning.
Shen Shuyi was drowsy when she felt a series of small kisses falling on her neck. She frowned and pushed the man beside her.
"Xie Jingchi, that's enough..."
Xie Jingchi raised the corners of his lips and stared at her: "I would like you to sleep a little longer, but I'm afraid it will be late for Aunt Lou's baby's third-day bath."
Shen Shuyi's mind went blank for a moment, and it took him a long while to come back to his senses.
She propped herself up, feeling groggy all over, and even felt annoyed when she saw the handsome face in front of her.
The culprit!
She had never been so tired before, and now she just wanted to sleep till the end.
Xie Jingchi raised the corners of his lips and stood up first.
It was not until Shen Shuyi washed up that he felt more energetic.
Looking at the refreshed man behind him, Shen Shuyi just felt that fortunately... fortunately he was leaving tomorrow!
Half an hour later, Xie Jingchi helped Shen Shuyi get off the carriage.
Shen Shuyi looked up at the plaque of the Sixth Prince's Mansion and curled the corners of his lips. He heard the news sent by Jiuchou the day before yesterday, saying that Wenren Zong was dead.
Along with that, the group of experts and staff recruited by Xiao Tingshan also scattered like birds and beasts, some died and some left.
Now, although Xiao Tingshan is a prince, he has no power or influence, and apart from some gold and silver, he is just an empty shell.
Shen Shuyi's eyes were full of coldness. She knew very well how eager and urgent Xiao Tingshan was at the moment.
He must have thought that his transformation into a royal bloodline was a favor from God.
He must be eager to prove himself, to realize his ambitions, and to seize this opportunity.
Unfortunately... time waits for no one, and soon he will find that, except for the title of the Sixth Prince, he is no different from before.
"What are you thinking about?" Xie Jingchi asked.
Shen Shuyi turned his head and glanced at him, saying, "I was wondering which hero avenged us for the kidnapping of our relatives that day."
