Chapter 663 Argument
"I heard that the weather was extremely cold a while ago, and Madam Wang was afraid that he would freeze to death outside, so she locked him up in the mansion. He got drunk all day long. Later, when the weather cleared up, Madam Wang saw that he was extremely thin, so she let him out of the mansion and let him go wherever he wanted, but she also sent someone to keep an eye on him."
Shen Shuyi nodded. She had heard some of this from Sister Yao.
"Has Miss Hongxiu never seen him?" Shen Shuyi asked.
Jinzhu said, "I have been sending people to keep an eye on him. I heard that he was seen once and encountered once by chance."
Shen Shuyi sneered, and she knew it.
It must be that every time Wang Xiao was desperate, this girl with red sleeves gave him a glimmer of hope, otherwise, how could he linger in front of Tianxiang Tower every day.
There are two major brothels in Beijing, Chunfeng Tower and Tianxiang Tower.
Everyone knows that the person behind Chunfeng Tower is the third prince Xiao Heyu, but no one knows who is behind Tianxiang Tower.
However, based on the recent news, Shen Shuyi vaguely felt that the shadow of the eighth prince Xiao Yuncheng was behind Tianxiang Tower.
"Let's go back home." Shen Shuyi lowered the curtain of the car. He was not in the mood to worry about the affairs of Master Wang's family for the time being.
After all, there is a saying that goes, if you don't suffer the hardships of life, you will suffer the hardships of love. For someone with Wang Xiao's personality, it's not a bad thing to suffer some hardships.

After returning to the Shangshu Mansion, Mr. Liancheng came to diagnose Shen Shuyi's injuries again. After confirming that he was fine, Shen Shuyi sat on a bench under a tree in the yard to relax.
Not long after, Eunuch Xiao Huang, who was beside Emperor Qianwu, came in person and asked Shen Shuyi for Nanny Zhong's hiding place. Then he thanked Shen Shuyi and turned away.
At 1:00 p.m., Shen Shuyi was drowsy when Shen Jingchuan's attendant sent someone to find him. Yuping came to Shen Shuyi's side, hesitating whether to speak.
Shen Shuyi said softly: "Speak."
"Miss, the master asks you to go to the main hall."
"I understand." Shen Shuyi didn't open his eyes, he just felt that the sleepiness that he had finally gotten over was gone just like that.
After a cup of tea, Shen Shuyi appeared in the main hall, only to find that Shen Jingchuan had a gloomy face, and Old Madam Qin, Qin Guiqiong, Lou Zhengtao and others were also there.
Oh, and there’s also Qin Xuerong who’s in solitary confinement.
Shen Shuyi raised her eyebrows and wondered why Shen Jingchuan suddenly thought of inviting her. It turned out to be so lively.
"Greetings, father, mother." After Shen Shuyi greeted him, Shen Jingchuan got straight to the point: "Shuyi, tell me, is it true that the news in the palace that the third prince was deposed and Concubine Rou was demoted is true?"
"It's true what my father said."
The next moment, Shen Jingchuan slapped the table: "You are so confused!"
Shen Shuyi looked up calmly and saw that Shen Jingchuan had a frown on his face, looking as if he was very disappointed in Shen Jingchuan.
"Master, look, I have always told you that Shen Shuyi is a person who is restless! You don't want to get involved in the affairs of the royal family, but Shen Shuyi drags the whole family into this quagmire in order to get to the top! What will happen to your future and An Ge'er's future?"
Before Shen Jingchuan could say anything, Qin Xuerong could no longer hold back and started crying, wiping away her tears.
Old Madam Qin also chimed in, "The county lady is really good at this. That Zhong Madam was rescued by my Qin family. She has been living in a corner for many years. I didn't expect that she would be found by the county lady!"
"The county lady used Nanny Zhong to overthrow Concubine Rou, which dragged my Qin family into the water! The county lady and your Shen family should give our Qin family an explanation!"
Old Madam Qin was really angry, the kind that made her tremble all over.
She didn't expect that the Third Prince's party would be defeated, and she didn't expect that the bargaining chips she had held for so many years would end up helping Shen Shuyi!
She helped the Empress Dowager and His Majesty to find out the truth of that year, and used Nanny Zhong's confession to bring down Concubine Rou.
So in the end all the credit and rewards belonged to her, but their Qin family got nothing!
When she thought of this, Old Madam Qin felt so angry that her liver ached.
Shen Shuyi thought that this old lady Qin was really ridiculous, and couldn't help but take the initiative to ask: "Madame Zhong's surname is Zhong, not Qin. I found Madame Zhong to testify. What does it have to do with your Qin family?"
Lou Zhengtao couldn't hold back, he stood up and said sternly: "But she was rescued by my mother-in-law!"
Shen Shuyi sneered: "So? The old lady sent people to rescue Nanny Zhong, so every word Nanny Zhong said had to be approved by your Qin family?"
Lou Zhengtao was speechless and his face turned red with anger.
"Anyway, Nanny Zhong is a member of our Qin family! Why do you use her as your witness?" Lou Zhengtao continued to roar.
Shen Shuyi raised the corners of his lips: "He is from your Qin family. Why didn't your Qin family keep an eye on him? Since he is lost, he is not from your Qin family. What's more, Lord Lou, do I need to remind you that your surname is Lou, not Qin."
Zhang Jinping from the second room, who was watching the fun, couldn't help but cheer in her heart.
good good!
She is worthy of being their sister!
Shen Jingchuan's expression eased a little at this moment. Although he was also dissatisfied with Shen Shuyi's interference in the royal affairs, he also couldn't stand the Qin family's attitude.
It was obvious that the Qin family smelled something fishy, so they immediately pounced on us, trying to get some benefits.
But now His Majesty and the Queen Mother have not shown any mercy at all. What do they want to do to his Shen family?
What's more, it's still unclear whether this is a blessing or a curse. Looking at their impatient faces, it's really...
Lou Zhengtao was very angry and pointed at Shen Shuyi: "You...you..."
Qin Guiqiong quickly pulled him back and said, "Sister Yi, that's not what you said. Nanny Zhong was saved by our Qin family. Now you are using Nanny Zhong's confession to cause Concubine Rou and the Third Prince to be punished. Besides, you are so close to Concubine Jing, it's hard not to let others think that you support the Eighth Prince."
Qin Guiqiong didn't say it explicitly, but one sentence was enough to imply something, and everyone could understand it.
Qin Xuerong immediately responded: "That's right, you are doing this for your own selfish desires, dragging the entire Shen Mansion and Qin Mansion into the water. In the future, His Majesty will think that our two families are also involved in...the dispute over the succession."
Qin Xuerong was not so stupid that she changed the rhetoric of the fight for the throne and lowered her tone a lot.
Shen Jingchuan said coldly: "Yes, Sister Yi, such a big thing, why have you never mentioned it to your father? It's really ridiculous! Do you really take me, your father, seriously?"
Shen Shuyi finally understood. The Qin family was trying to pin the blame on Xiao Yuncheng for everything she did. No wonder Shen Jingchuan was so angry.
After all, she knew her father well. He had indeed had this idea last year, but before he could taste the sweetness, he was almost implicated. So, as smart as he was, he immediately retracted his tentacles and gave up this idea, and his disgust for the Qin family followed him like a shadow.
But today, he dragged the Shen family into trouble again, so he was naturally angry and unhappy.
