The carriage of the Prince Regent's Palace was parked steadily at the main entrance of the Prime Minister's Palace. Dusk was beginning to fall, and the setting sun dyed the vermilion pillars all over.
Shen Qingyuan lifted the curtain and got out of the car. She was dressed in a simple and elegant dress that was not stained, and her eyes were calm and calm.The servants in the mansion had already heard about the incident at the Begonia Banquet. They all lowered their heads and held their breaths, looking at her with awe in their eyes.The stupid legitimate daughter who was everyone's joke in the past has now broken through the situation on her own and crushed the prince and concubine's lineage.
As soon as she stepped into the inner courtyard, the nanny beside the old lady hurried over and bowed respectfully: "Miss, the old lady is waiting in the main hall. Please come over immediately."
Shen Qingyuan understood clearly and walked slowly to the main hall.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the main hall was solemn and depressing. Shen Jingshan was sitting in the main seat, his face was ashen, and the anger around him could hardly be suppressed.The news of the Haitang Banquet had already spread throughout the capital. The prince framed the prime minister's legitimate daughter in public. This incident was shocking. As the prime minister, he was disgraced and was even more frightened.
Liu and Shen Qingrou were summoned here. They both knelt on the cold blue bricks. Their hair was messy and their faces were pale. They were no longer gentle and charming as before.
Seeing Shen Qingyuan enter the door, the old lady immediately waved her hand, her tone was full of pity: "Yuan'er, come here, I have wronged you today."
After finishing her sentence, Ms. Liu's shoulders trembled suddenly, and she completely lost the confidence to argue.
Shen Jingshan slapped the table angrily, his tea cup clattering, and he stared at Mrs. Liu: "How dare you hide it now? Why did the East Palace set up a trap at the Haitang Banquet to harm Yuan'er for no reason? If you hadn't secretly colluded with the prince and delivered the secret letter privately, how could such a shocking scandal have happened!"
He has been an official for decades and has a clear mind. With a little connection, he can completely understand the cause and effect.
Previously, Liu had tried every possible means to prevent Shen Qingyuan from attending the banquet and insisted on letting Shen Qingrou accompany him. Later, she contacted the East Palace inexplicably. Everything was a long-planned plan.In order to support his daughter's rise to power and ruin the reputation of his legitimate daughter, he did not hesitate to collude with the crown prince and frame his own family. He was simply vicious.
Mrs. Liu was trembling all over, lying on the ground in tears, crying and arguing: "Master! I am wronged! I have never colluded with the East Palace, let alone deliberately harmed the eldest lady. This matter is all the prince's own thoughts and has nothing to do with me!"
Now that the matter has come to this, she still takes chances and tries to muddle through.As long as she refuses to admit it and has no evidence, Shen Jingshan will not be able to punish her severely.
Shen Qingrou on the side was crying so hard that she was out of breath, huddled on the ground, looking frightened and helpless, trying to win some sympathy with her weakness.
Shen Qingyuan stood in the hall, quietly watching the mother and daughter struggling to death, with a slightly cool curve on her lips: "Auntie, are you really innocent?"
