Shi Da quickly said he didn't dare: "My little mind is stupid and I didn't react at the moment. Please forgive me, Crown Princess."
Song Shuwan glanced at him and was too lazy to talk nonsense with this guy named Shi Da. She waved her hand and said, "Step back."
Shi Da responded and left the room respectfully.
At that time, Baicao had already read the list and frowned: "Prince Princess, there is no one named Tao Niang on this list."
Song Shuwan knocked on the armrest of the chair: "Follow the list and ask about the woman who lived in the house two years ago. Remember, you must be careful."
Baicao left with the list, and Song Shuwan sat alone. All her thoughts were on Tao Niang. What secret did this person have that made Pei Huan take it so seriously that he specifically asked her to write back to the Duke's Mansion?
Just as he was thinking about it, the door suddenly hit both sides, and a white figure appeared at the door.
Zhong Rou's expression was sinister, and she arrived in front of Song Shuwan in a few steps: "Do you still have the nerve to reply to the Duke's Mansion?"
When she finished speaking, she raised her right hand high.
Just as she was about to fall, Song Shuwan quickly grabbed her wrist and pushed her away.
With a "bang", Zhong Rou fell to the ground, the expression on her face was a little more distorted due to pain: "You dare to do something to me?"
Song Shuwan looked at her condescendingly: "So what if you take action? If you commit the following offense, you will be in the government office. You are also wrong."
Having said this, Song Shuwan paused for a moment, and her eyes became more scrutinized: "It's you, who was imprisoned in the sky prison because of Princess Jingyang's incident. Who took you out? The emperor actually let you go?"
Zhong Rou was helped up, and her face showed pride when she heard this: "If it were just the emperor, he would naturally not let me go, but my good sister, you forgot that I have other backers."
"Other backers?"
Song Shuwan tilted her head slightly, thinking of the little princess, and the expression on her face became a little more funny: "The little princess sent you to the prison, and you still regard her as your supporter?"
Zhong Rou's eyes looked a little weird: "Why do you think the backer I'm talking about is the little princess?"
Song Shuwan frowned slightly, what did Zhong Rou mean by this, wasn't it? But except the little princess, who would save Zhong Rou in that situation?
The next moment, Zhong Rou gave the answer: "The person who saved me was not the little princess, but Prince Pei."
Zhong Rou said the last three words very slowly, but Song Shuwan's expression changed instantly.
Zhong Rou didn't think it was enough, so she added: "I heard that Prince Pei had already set out to go to Yuanzhou City, but he still saved me. It's really... very interesting."
The room fell into silence, Song Shuwan squinted her eyes, and her expression suddenly returned to calm: "So what?"
The pride on Zhong Rou's face suddenly stopped: "So what?"
Song Shuwan nodded and took two steps forward: "No matter why he took action, it is just a common thing for me. Zhongrou, what you care about is different from what I care about, and it cannot be the same, so..."
She leaned close to Zhong Rou's ear and whispered: "If you want to use this matter to stimulate me, you can only have delusions."
Zhong Rou suddenly turned around and raised her right hand again.
Song Shuwan's eyes flashed with coldness, and she raised her hand and lowered it faster than Zhong Rou.
"Snapped!"
Zhong Rou turned her head away after being hit, her eyes filled with disbelief: "Song Shuwan, I want to do..."
"The Crown Princess."
At this moment, a voice came, interrupting Zhong Rou's unfinished words.
Baicao walked into the house, her calm eyes flashed past Zhong Rou, and she said with a gentle blessing: "The Marquis Mansion has sent some things, and the Crown Prince asked the Crown Princess to stay at the Xinguo Duke's Mansion with peace of mind recently, and then go back after the matter is resolved."
Song Shuwan said "hmm" and didn't have much reaction to this.
However, Zhong Rou couldn't hold back and said deliberately: "Prince Pei, must he have given up on you? For a woman like you who is married on behalf of others and has a bad reputation, how can the Hou family endure it for a while, but how can it endure it for a lifetime? In a few days, Hou
I'm afraid the divorce letter from the government is about to come to my door."
Song Shuwan raised the corners of her lips: "Then let's see whether Pei Huan comes first or the letter of divorce comes first."
After saying this, Song Shuwan slapped Zhong Rou again on the face.
Zhong Rou was furious and wanted to fight back, but Baicao grabbed her wrist.
Baicao said in a cold tone: "If you dare to touch the Crown Princess, I will twist your head off."
He rushed towards Zhongrou with such fierce momentum that he was so frightened that Zhongrou staggered back and almost fell to the ground: "You, how dare you..."
Baicao snorted coldly, and before she could finish her words, she shook him away: "Get out, you are not allowed to be arrogant in front of the Crown Princess."
Zhong Rou's expression kept changing. In the end, fear took over. She only dared to glare at Song Shuwan fiercely, and then staggered away.
"Prince Princess, she didn't hurt you, did she?"
Facing Shang Baicao's concerned eyes, Song Shuwan smiled slightly: "She can't hurt me yet, but just now she said that it was the prince who took him out of the prison. Is this true?"
Baicao shook his head gently: "I don't know, I don't know. If the imperial concubine wants to find out about this matter, I will go back to the Marquis Mansion right now."
Song Shuwan thought about it and did not let Baicao return to the Hou Mansion: "Solve the matter here as soon as possible, and then go back and ask questions slowly."
"yes."
On the other side, Zhong Rou ran to the main courtyard crying. When she saw Mrs. Xin Guo Gong, she immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Mother, that Song Shuwan deceived people too much."
Mrs. Xin Guogong was confused, and then she saw the slap mark on Zhong Rou's face, and she was furious: "Who hit you?"
Zhong Rou cried harder and harder: "Song Shuwan, she not only beat me, but also asked the maid to humiliate me."
Mrs. Xinguo Gong immediately clenched her fingers, the expression on her face changed several times, and finally she suppressed her anger and helped Zhongrou stand up.
"Just be patient. Wait until tomorrow's banquet, and my mother will take revenge on you."
Zhong Rou wiped the tears from her face: "Really? Mom can really..."
Mrs. Xin Guogong made a gesture of silence, and Zhong Rou immediately silenced her voice.
In the Yuzhu Courtyard, Song Shuwan and Baicao compared servants one after another, and finally narrowed down on two people. Both of them were from the Xinguo Duke's Mansion that had moved forward two years ago.
One is an eighteen-year-old unmarried woman, now named Wang Lian, and the other has a son, now thirty, named Yun Niang.
Song Shuwan clicked on the names of the two people: "Baicao, focus on investigating these two people and find out the situation as soon as possible."
Baicao responded and put away the list of servants.
In the afternoon of that day, Song Shuwan prepared the banquet with Mrs. Xinguo, and ignored Mrs. Xinguo's provocations several times during the process.
The next day, before Song Shuwan got up, she heard a commotion outside Yuzhu Courtyard, and then Baicao entered the house angrily.
"Prince Princess, those servants are really bullying me."
Song Shuwan held her cheek with one hand and frowned slightly when she heard this: "Didn't you know yesterday what would happen today? Don't be angry. If you are really angry, just let them get their wish."
Baicao held her forehead, calmed down for a moment, and said: "Prince Concubine, those two people are not Tao Niang. Tao Niang should be someone else."
