A few days later, just after Shen Xi said that this matter was handed over to Emperor Tianhe to handle, Xie Yan didn't ask again, but a few days later, Shen Ye was invited to prison by the Criminal Department, and everyone in the Dingguo Mansion was shocked.

Xie Yan was also surprised, and asked Shen Xi, "What's going on?" What is the Criminal Department looking for Guogong to do? ”

Shen Xi was writing, frowning, and said lightly: "Whatever he does, he always has to pay some price." ”

Xie Yan immediately understood that these three attacks were unexpectedly committed by Shen Ye, the Duke of Dingguo, because after this incident, Emperor Tianhe personally intervened and found out about Shen Ye, Long Yan was furious, and immediately arrested Shen Ye in the prison of the Criminal Department.

This matter was unexpected by Xie Yan, Shen Ye in the previous life was destroyed after Shen Xi ascended the throne, and the Dingguo Mansion was destroyed, but why was there so much worse in this life.

Moreover, why is Shen Xi so abnormal? He only writes desperately when he is upset, and Shen Ye was arrested, so it stands to reason that he should be happy.

Xie Yan saw Shen Xi pursing her lips tightly, standing behind the desk with a long and jade body to write, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and her eyes stared at the paper in front of her, writing one by one.

Xie Yan didn't dare to disturb, only on the side for him to study ink and paper, Shen Xi wrote for nearly two hours, close to midnight before stopping, seeing that Xie Yan was still standing on the side with him, his heart was mixed, he hugged her into his arms, kissed her on the cheek, and then bowed his waist, buried his face in her shoulder socket, and let out a sigh.

Xie Yan stroked his back, like he had comforted himself countless times, patted him gently, and after a long time, he asked Shen Xi:

"Guogong is in prison, are you distressed?"

Shen Xi straightened up, looked at Xie Yan fixedly, and after a moment of silence, he spoke: "I'm not worried that he is in prison, but after he comes out." ”

Xie Yan was puzzled: "What will happen when he comes out?" Didn't the emperor already arrest him and put him in prison? ”

Although Xie Yan still doesn't understand why Shen Xi will destroy the Dingguo Mansion after he ascends the throne, but it was the previous life, and he and she already have Kangning in this life, even if it is for this child to accumulate virtue, she doesn't want Shen Xi to become so brutal, if it can be avoided, even if it is only at the expense of Shen Ye alone, it is good to let go of the Dingguo Mansion.

Shen Xi looked at Xie Yan, looking at it faintly, and then reached out and stroked Xie Yan's face, and after a sigh, he didn't speak.

Tonight's Shen Xi is really abnormal. It's just that he didn't say why, and Xie Xi didn't ask much, but after serving him to wash, the two hugged each other and slept together, and the next morning before dawn, Shen Xi got up and left the house.

After Xie Yan got up, he took Kang Ning to play in the yard, Huayi was waiting on the side, and there were two nursing mothers, since Zhao Sanbao was injured, Zhu Qing came to ask Xie Xian, and took the initiative to take care of the injured Zhao Sanbao, originally Xie Yan did not agree, after all, Zhu Qing was the one who served her since childhood, and at this time Zhao Sanbao was injured, and she knew what Zhao Sanbao would be in the future, and now let Zhu Qing go close to serve him, what else can Zhu Qing do in the future.

However, after stating the interests to Zhuqing, the stupid girl not only did not flinch, but actually said that no matter what happened to Zhao Sanbao in the future, she must serve by his side, and kowtowed in front of Xie Yan, Xie Yan had no choice but to let her go.

While playing, a maid came over to spread the word, saying that it was the old lady and the second lady, and the third lady was coming to Canglan Garden, saying that she was asking to see Xie Yan.

Xie Yan knew in her heart that they must have come here for Shen Ye's affairs at this time, so she sighed secretly, handed Kang Ning into Hua Yi's hands, and then went to the inner room to change her clothes, and invited them to come in and meet in the flower hall.

As soon as the old lady came, she was going to kneel down for Xie Yan, the second lady and the third lady were also crying and supporting her, where would Xie Yan accept the courtesy of these people, and she turned aside and let the maid help them into their seats.

The old lady was the first to cry, and one night it seemed to be ten years old, and the head on her head was a lot grayer, and she only heard her say sadly:

"Now that Grandpa Guo has been arrested and put in prison by the Criminal Department, our family is about to be destroyed. The old body also knows that it is not a matter to come to the eldest prince at this time, but we have no choice. Grandpa Guo really wants to have three long and two short, and a few of our mothers and sons will not live, and all of them will be hanged with a white silk. ”

Xie Yan didn't speak, just looked at the old lady with a teacup, and saw that she was in tears, seeing that the grief was real, the second lady and the third lady wiped their tears together, and the second lady said:

"Uncle is really the pillar of this family, no matter what, the eldest prince has also been raised in the big house for so many years, and now that this has happened, I have to ask the eldest prince to take care of it."

The look on the face of the second lady can be regarded as real, tears are falling down, it can be imagined that the second lady has been in charge of the middle feed of the Guogong Mansion all these years, and she respects her up and down, and it is also because there is no housewife in charge of the big house of the Dingguo Mansion that she let her be the housewife of the second room, if Shen Ye is gone, she will not be able to be the housewife of the Guogong Mansion, and these tears are worth a few dollars.

But the sadness on the third lady's face is a little subtle, she is crying when she looks at it on her face, but there are no tears at all, and she also wipes it on her face with a handkerchief, not to mention the sorrow of losing her main heart between her eyebrows, even sadness is rare.

After the old lady and the second lady said those words, they didn't wait for Xie Yan's response, the two looked at each other, the old lady didn't care about it, so she stepped forward and knelt down in front of Xie Yan, kowtowed and howled:

"The old body begs you, please save the grandfather of the country. No matter what grievances there were before, they are all in the past, even if the prince has a place to be sorry for the eldest lady, but now we are all grasshoppers on a rope, if those things are known by the emperor, not only will our Guogong Mansion be ruined, but it will also have a great impact on the future of the eldest prince. The princess, now that the emperor has recognized the eldest prince, you are not for the face of the Guogong Mansion, but also for the face of the eldest prince. ”

Xie Yan stood up the moment the old lady knelt down, deviated to the side, and then personally stepped forward to help the old lady, and was very puzzled by what the old lady said.

Guogong is sorry for the eldest lady? Why is it about the face of the eldest prince? The meaning of this old lady's words seems to be that if there is something between the Duke of Guo Shen Ye and the Luo family, it cannot be known by the emperor, and after the emperor knows, not only will the eldest prince lose face, but even the Duke Mansion will be implicated - ruined!

What the hell is going on?

Xie Yan always thought that after Shen Xi ascended the throne, he destroyed the Dingguo Mansion because he was somewhat brutal, but now it doesn't seem to be the case, if the matter they concealed was known by a benevolent monarch like Tianhe Emperor, it would only be the same consequence, the same catastrophe?

"What does the old lady mean? Why was Guogong sorry for the eldest lady in the past? ”

After thinking about it, Xie Yan asked a core question.

The old lady was helped by Xie Yan to sit on the seat, was wiping her tears, listening to Xie Yan ask this question, a trace of remorse flashed on her face, but she shook her head, closed her mouth, and didn't say anything, Xie Yan looked at the second lady, only to see that she was stunned, but she quickly lowered her head, and it seemed that she didn't plan to talk to her about this old past.

Xie Yan glanced at the third lady again, and saw that she was also more interested in this topic, so she didn't know that the third lady was the continuation of the third master, and it was common sense that she didn't know what happened many years ago, which showed how secret this matter was hidden by the Dingguo Mansion.

Seeing this, Xie Yan said to the old lady: "If the old lady doesn't tell me anything, then why will you ask me to help you?" To put it mildly, the life and death of Guogong actually have little to do with me. ”

She is married to Shen Xi, and now Feng Xuan is not married to the Shen family, according to reason, whether Shen Ye is dead or alive does not have much to do with Xie Yan.

The old lady heard Xie Yan say this, looked up at her, and made sure that Xie Yan was not angry and said that, seeing that she was sitting calmly on top of herself, as if she was on top of her, the old lady remembered the new hatred and old hatred, and secretly gritted her teeth, but because Shen Ye was not out of danger now, she was not good at saying too many disobedient words to Xie Yan, but at this moment, she looked at the appearance of Xie Yan's old god, and her heart was aroused again, and after thinking about it, if Xie Yan knew about it, Maybe you know how big it is, and you will be afraid.

Thinking of this, the old lady's face gradually turned cold, stared at Xie Yan and said coldly:

"It's not that simple. It stands to reason that the princess wants to know, and the old body must be informed, but this matter is too involved, not only involving the Guogong Mansion, but also involving the eldest prince. ”

Xie Yan saw that the old lady's face changed again, as if she was planning to withdraw her plea and talk to her in a threatening way, she felt that this old woman was really dead, and at this time, she still wanted to put on the old lady's majesty, and she didn't say anything, but it was the old lady's words that made Xie Taijun's mind flash.

Suddenly I thought of Lu Zhu and Aunt Lan, the scars on their bodies when they died, although I couldn't conclude that this matter must have been done by Guogong Shen Ye, but now all kinds of signs pointed the finger at him.

Shen Ye was the one who tortured and killed Lu Zhu and Aunt Lan. The old lady and the second lady must know these things, so they have been hiding them for Shen Ye in the back house, if Shen Ye had treated the Luo family like that, it would indeed make Shen Yi hate it very much, but Xie Yan felt in her heart that there should be other hidden secrets in the matter, if it was just because Shen Ye abused the Luo family, even if Shen Xi was angry, how could he destroy all the Dingguo Mansion?

The atmosphere in the flower hall was condensed for a while, and there was a messenger outside to report, and it was sung in the mansion, saying that the eldest prince had brought the prince out of the criminal department, and now he had returned to the house.

The old lady and the second lady both stood up from their seats, their faces were beaming, where there was still a little bit of the previous sad face, the two looked at each other, as if to say, 'It's done', they didn't even look at Xie Yan, and rushed out, Wan Shi was a few steps behind them, not only did he not even have the pretended grief on his face, but instead there was a trace of unwillingness.

What is she unwilling to do?
