Zhong Rou suddenly spoke, causing the surrounding guests to look at the people she was pointing to, who were Pei Huan and Song Shuwan.
Xie Youxing was stunned for a moment, with a bit of solemnity on his face: "Miss Zhong, what you say must be supported by evidence. How can you prove that there is a problem between the prince and the prince's concubine with empty words?"
Zhong Rou smiled, with a bit of sternness hidden in her eyes: "Although I have no evidence, it is true that they left after Duan Jing. No matter what, they have to prove that they are innocent, right?"
Song Shuwan frowned slightly. Zhong Rou was obviously being messy, but there was some sense in her messiness, which made her and Pei Huan the target of public criticism.
Facing everyone's gaze, Song Shuwan said calmly: "I don't know when that period of silence left, but wherever the prince and I go, there are people from the palace watching. If you feel something is wrong, call the servants from the palace."
Just come and ask."
Pei Huan also said calmly: "Yes, we two walk and sit upright, but Miss Zhong, ha!"
A sneer made the surroundings silent. Looking at Zhong Rou again, she couldn't help but have something strange in her eyes. She was causing trouble for Prince Pei and the Crown Princess in public. Could it be that Duke Xinguo's mansion was at odds with the Hou's mansion?
Zhong Rou glanced at the people around her and looked indifferent. She was deliberately trying to embarrass Song Shuwan. She just said a few words. Her questions were well-founded and no one could find a problem.
Xie Youxing called the palace servants to come over. There were about twenty maids, and they told Song Shuwan and Pei Huan exactly what they had done.
Even Song Shuwan didn't expect that the servants of the palace she had lamented before would actually be the ones proving their innocence at this time.
But in this case, Duan Jing seems to be very strange. With so many servants in the palace, didn't they see Duan Jing coming here?
The surrounding guests also noticed this, and some of them with high status raised questions on the spot.
Xie Youxing was not angry and directly gathered the servants in the mansion to the open space in the front yard and asked about Duan Jing's whereabouts and the people who were traveling with him.
A strange thing happened. No servant in the palace saw Duan Jing. They didn't even see Duan Jing walking to the lotus pond.
Others didn't understand, but when Song Shuwan listened, she felt strange in her heart. Duan Jing was just an ordinary woman. How could she avoid the sight of so many people in Prince Yong's Mansion?
Song Shuwan glanced at Zhong Rou, who happened to be looking at her too.
Zhong Rou pursed her lips and glared at Song Shuwan fiercely, "What are you looking at, you bitch?"
Song Shuwan slightly raised the corners of her lips, but her eyes were cold, and she mouthed silently: "I remember what happened today."
At this time, the deep magnetic male voice brought back Song Shuwan's thoughts.
Pei Huan said with a faint smile, "Have you seen the problem?"
Song Shuwan looked away and said calmly: "The thief is just shouting to catch the thief."
Given the tightness of Prince Yong's Palace, Duan Jing could only have died in the hands of his own people. Of course, there is another possibility. Duan Jing was a person with extremely strong martial arts skills, but this possibility is slim.
While the two were talking, the concierge of the palace came running: "Your Majesty, the government officials are here."
After the yamen officer saw the corpse, he carefully asked the guests present, and Song Shuwan and Pei Huan answered the questions cooperatively.
On the side, Zhong Rou wanted to continue to stir up trouble, but she was stopped in place by a warning look from Xie Youxing. She did not dare to act rashly. The Duke of Xinguo's Mansion had a good reputation, but compared with Prince Yong's Mansion, that beauty was not worth it at all.
carry.
Not long after, Duan Jing's body was carried away, and the guests also left Prince Yong's Mansion one after another.
Song Shuwan pushed Pei Huan, blended in with the guests, and was about to leave. Suddenly there was a voice behind her. When she looked back, she found that it was a middle-aged man she didn't recognize.
"Qian Kun, the chief registrar of Dali Temple in Xiaguan, has met the crown prince and his concubine."
Song Shuwan narrowed her eyes slightly, and then she heard Pei Huan say: "Master Qian is so polite, what do you want from me and me?"
Qian Kun smiled slightly and went straight to the topic: "I heard that the Crown Princess admitted a patient named Song?"
The surname is Song? There is only one Song mother in the Hou family who is a patient, and Qian Kun came here for Song Ren.
Song Shuwan reacted, nodded and said: "Yes, is there something wrong with this person?"
She made a curious look, which made Qian Kun a little surprised: "Then the Crown Princess doesn't know the origin of Song Ren?"
Song Shuwan asked blankly: "Isn't Song Ren just a person who can't even cure his mother's illness? What's his origin?"
Pei Huan turned his head slightly and listened to the conversation between the two. Seeing that Song Shuwan had no intention of acknowledging Song Ren's origin, he smiled and said nothing.
This Qian Kun is interesting. He approached Song Ren in Prince Yong's Mansion. If he were an uninformed person, he might really be led away by Qian Kun's words. I wonder if he was just targeting Song Ren or if he had other ideas.
.
Qian Kun looked at Song Shuwan, who was asking questions, and then at Pei Huan, who was silent, and suddenly didn't know what to say.
After a moment of pause, he said with a slightly difficult tone: "If Song Ren has a problem, it would be better for the Crown Princess not to keep him in the house."
After saying this, Qian Kun bowed his hands and left.
Song Shuwan raised her eyebrows, her thoughts turned to what Qian Kun started to say, and she lowered her eyes and said, "This Qian Kun should be very familiar with Song Ren. Is he Song Ren's classmate? Moreover, how did he know that Song Ren was in the Hou Mansion?
Has he been staring at Song Ren?"
After three consecutive questions, the smile on Pei Huan's lips gradually deepened.
"The two took the imperial examinations in the same year. Song Ren missed the time, so he was the first to be ranked first. It's not that he was staring at Song Ren. You were taken away by the imperial army before, and Song Ren looked for him."
Song Shuwan's face showed a sudden realization, so that was the case. She also said that the reason why Qian Kun looked so determined was the reason for the co-authorship.
But if Song Ren went to find Qian Kun, he must have believed in Qian Kun. Did he know that Qian Kun was like this?
"Go back home."
Song Shuwan's thoughts were interrupted by Pei Huan. She came to her senses and pushed Pei Huan out.
On the carriage, Song Shuwan turned her head slightly: "Your Majesty, that Qian Kun..."
Before she finished speaking, Pei Huan took over: "I will send someone to investigate."
There are undercurrents surging in the capital, and even if he is a small bookkeeper, Pei Huan will not miss the abnormality.
Song Shuwan nodded, but hesitated a little whether she should tell Song Ren about Qian Kun's behavior today.
On the other side, Zhong Rou angrily returned to Duke Xin Guo's mansion. Duke Xin Guo and his wife were talking, and she looked a little strange.
Duke Xin asked: "Were you wronged at the banquet in Prince Yong's Mansion?"
Zhong Rou's eyes turned red: "Dad, that Song Shuwan is so deceptive!"
Duke Xin's expression changed slightly: "She also went to the banquet?"
"Is this the point? Dad, my face was almost completely lost by her and Pei Huan today! Why is a cripple running out in such a big way? Those noble ladies today laughed at me and said that I forced her to marry Pei Huan.
…”
Zhong Rou said something arrogant, and Duke Xin's face suddenly sank.
"I believe that the Duke's government is kind-hearted and left her an orphan. She is ungrateful and dares to bully others like this. Just wait, I will send someone to call her back. Song Shuwan should learn the rules of respecting seniors and juniors!
