Chapter 664 Great Favor
Old Madam Qin banged the cane in her hand loudly.
"That's right, Shen Shuyi, you must give our Qin family an explanation! If our Qin family is also labeled as a party of a certain prince, can you bear this responsibility!"
Shen Shuyi was unmoved and said calmly, "What do you think, old lady, should we do?"
Madam Qin said in a deep voice: "This time you have investigated the past affairs of the previous dynasty, and the credit should go to the Qin family half. If the Empress Dowager and His Majesty give any rewards, naturally my Qin family should also get half."
Shen Shuyi looked at Old Madam Qin and her group with a half-smile, and felt that the Qin family was really crazy about power!
"Please ask the Empress Dowager for a favor, or ask for an official position for our Yu brother, or ask for a county lady position for our Qi sister."
Madam Qin's eldest daughter-in-law spoke up immediately, speaking with confidence.
Shen Shuyi smiled, thinking that the Qin family was able to survive to this day simply by luck.
Qin Haoyu is the eldest son of the Qin family. He is a hopeless case. Old Madam Qin helped him a lot in the early years and even paved the way for him.
But as she said before, no man in the Qin family could stand on his own, so in the following years, Old Madam Qin set her sights on the women of the Qin family.
Unfortunately, the two branches of the Qin family are mostly boys, and the only two girls are still young.
Qin Meiqi is only about six or seven years old now, so it's hard for her to ask for such a high price. She even wants to be a county lady.
Do they think she is the emperor?
Shen Shuyi sneered: "Old Madam, Madam, dreams can have anything you want, but I advise you not to embarrass yourself by coming to the Shangshu Mansion."
"You!" The Qin family was very angry.
Without waiting for them to speak again, Shen Shuyi turned to look at Shen Jingchuan: "Dad, are you just not going to do anything about it? Anyone can bully you and bully you!"
Shen Jingchuan was choked. Originally, he felt that Shen Shuyi was wrong to make the decision on her own and get involved in such a big matter.
But now, being asked back by her in front of so many people, Shen Jingchuan was speechless for a moment, and he really felt that the Qin family did not take him seriously.
What's more, listen to what the Qin family said?
He really didn't want to say any more nonsense, he just wanted to kick the person out!
Qin Xuerong has lost a lot of weight recently, and her face looks particularly pale, and she seems to have aged a lot.
She choked up and said, "Master, isn't it Sister Yi that you should be most concerned about? How dare she, a mere daughter of a minister, get involved in the affairs of the royal family and even speak out against them!"
"Think about it, Concubine Rou is His Majesty's favorite concubine! And the Third Prince, even if his bones are broken, he is His Majesty's own son, sir!"
Shen Shuyi curled the corners of his lips, feeling that Qin Xuerong's words rarely hit the point.
Indeed, according to common sense, being involved in royal affairs is not a good thing.
Unfortunately, this time, the matter between Xiao Heyu and Concubine Rou concerns the people of the world, the emperor's majesty, and the border war.
How can all these things be explained by just a few words about royal secrets?
Shen Jingchuan's face darkened slightly. He looked at Shen Shuyi and said in a deep voice, "Sister Yi, you are really bold and reckless this time. Why don't you discuss this with your father?"
Shen Jingchuan was indeed angry. Such a big thing, so many things, but in the end, he never heard her mention it once. Does she still regard him as her father in her eyes?
Shen Shuyi's words were respectful, but his attitude was not very respectful.
"In reply to father, I was ordered by the Queen Mother to investigate the matter of the late Second Prince. I have no choice but to obey the Queen Mother's order, but I am afraid that my father will be implicated, so I can only investigate on my own."
Shen Jingchuan was choked, his face still looking ugly.
"Oh, the county princess has become more capable now. Now she doesn't take her brother-in-law seriously." Qin Guiqiong fanned the flames.
Madam Qin said: "The good son-in-law has raised a good daughter!"
Shen Jingchuan was indeed annoyed at the moment. On the one hand, he was dissatisfied with Shen Shuyi's self-willed decision-making. She was just a girl, but she was so bold and acted so recklessly. If she did, the whole family would be implicated. The entire Shen family would not know how they died!
On the one hand, he hated the faces of the Qin family, who looked like they had never seen the world and were obsessed with money. Now in his Shen family, they were even more aggressive and had no sense of propriety, which was really annoying!
Shen Jingchuan said in a deep voice: "Okay, I'm sorry that our Shen family can't do what the Qin family asks. What Sister Yi said is also correct. Although Nanny Zhong was rescued by your Qin family, she is not a member of your Qin family, right? Even if she is willing to testify, can your Qin family control it?"
Shen Jingchuan spoke in a cold voice, and his impatient look angered Old Madam Qin even more.
Originally, she was optimistic about the Eighth Prince. Now that the Third Prince has fallen, doesn't it mean that the Eighth Prince has the greatest possibility of taking the throne?
But unfortunately, she had no one who could cling to Xiao Yuncheng's thigh, and her Qin family didn't get any credit for overthrowing Concubine Rou. She really couldn't swallow this.
Now, even if Concubine Jing knew that Nanny Zhong was the one rescued by their Qin family, she would probably think that they were ungrateful and had been hiding her.
Old Madam Qin never imagined that Shen Jingyu, who couldn't tell inside from outside, would know where Nanny Zhong was hiding.
When she thought of this, she became filled with anger.
"Okay, since you said so, don't blame me for not reminding you. Your sister Yi may be enjoying the glory now, but if His Majesty comes to settle accounts with her later, don't blame our Qin family for not caring about your life or death!"
Mrs. Qin's words made Shen Jingchuan frown: "What does mother-in-law mean by this?"
Madam Qin sneered: "Our Qin family has a great favor to Nanny Zhong. Although Nanny Zhong has been summoned to the palace, she knows better than anyone what to say and what not to say."
Old Madam Qin was leaning on her crutches with both hands, her chin slightly raised, and her attitude arrogant.
Shen Shuyi narrowed her eyes. She had met Nanny Zhong once before. She seemed to be a shrewd old woman. She told her everything that Concubine Rou had done.
But now Old Madam Qin is so sure, is it possible that she will change her mind after entering the palace?
"I just don't know, if Sister Yi is so confident, but when Nanny Zhong enters the palace, she acts completely different from what Sister Yi said, will the Empress Dowager and His Majesty blame her?" Old Lady Qin said with a sneer.
Others may not know, but she knows it very well.
After Nanny Zhong was rescued by her, she hid her identity for many years. Later, she fell in love with the steward of the mansion. What was even more unexpected was that she gave birth to a son.
But few people know about this.
Now that man and son are in her hands, she won't say anything even if they enter the palace without her permission.
Shen Shu saw her confident look, smiled, and glanced at Qin Xin calmly.
Qin Xin nodded and quietly left the main hall.
The next moment, Qin Xuerong said with some satisfaction: "We are relatives, Qin and Shen. We should not only share honor and disgrace, but also help each other. It's just unreasonable for you, Yijie, to take all the credit. Don't you think so?"
