Zelan helped Shen Lingyu slowly walk out of the Shilang Mansion, thinking of Xie Yunzhou's reaction just now, he couldn't help but worry.

"Madam, Lord Shilang is also very kind, in order to help you detoxify last night, he and Dr. Mo didn't sleep all night, why are you ......?"

Shen Lingyu sighed faintly, "Zelan, you don't understand, people live for a lifetime, and the only person we can rely on is ourselves." ”

If it wasn't for self-preservation, she would never commit to Xie Yunzhou.

And so it is.

She knew he had saved her, but she didn't dare to make herself too dependent on him.

If everything is settled by him in the future, then what has become between them cannot be so unclear forever.

She is just a widow, and as a servant of the ministry, he will worship the first assistant in the future, and the disparity between them will only get bigger and bigger.

So she should recognize her identity.

Alliances, just alliances.

In addition, if you don't think about it, you won't get hurt.

There is a wife who joined the army in the front, and there is the county lord of Yining in the back, isn't it enough for her to see clearly?

Shen Lingyu lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly, and after getting into the carriage, he asked Zelan about his condition.

Knowing that the poison in her body was peacock gall, she couldn't help but wonder who was so ruthless.

The old lady should not be so impulsive, after all, at this stage, the General's Mansion still needs her to operate.

And although Ye Wanran has many contradictions with her, she has never used a real knife, which shows that she still has concerns in her heart.

The rest is only Pei Lanzhi.

After all, not long ago, he was looking for an assassin to kill her.

But how did he poison him?

The meals she imports every day are all eaten with Mona, and it can't be just her.

Shen Lingyu couldn't figure it out, and if he bothered, his complexion would be even worse.

When he returned to the mansion, almost as soon as he had changed his clothes, the old lady and Ye Wanran came, followed by Chen Shu.

As soon as the old lady opened her mouth, she spoke in a questioning tone.

"Who told you to report to the official!"

Shen Lingyu pretended to be puzzled, "What does my mother mean?" ”

Ye Wanran rushed to speak: "Shen Lingyu, you don't pretend to be confused here, Chen Shu went to report to the official early in the morning, and asked the official to take away a few people, and he was instructed by you!" ”

Shen Lingyu suddenly said: "Oh, it turned out to be this matter, that's right, last night Chen Shu came to me and said that there was a thief in the public treasury account, and I asked him to catch the thief and hand it over to the government, what's the matter?" ”

"What thieves, they're all from my yard!" Ye Wanran said angrily.

Shen Lingyu was taken aback, "How come, for no reason, what did the second sister-in-law ask your people to do in the account room?" ”

Ye Wanran was immediately asked by her.

On the way here, she only thought about settling accounts with Shen Lingyu, and she didn't have time to think about the excuse that those people went to the account room.

When Shen Lingyu asked at this time, his mind went blank, and he opened his mouth and said:

"I—I can't sleep well at night, so let them go and get me a soothing incense, isn't that okay?"

Shen Lingyu lowered his eyes and smiled: "It can be, it's just a matter of taking incense, you can't go to a few people, right?" What's more, they are all big and coarse, how can they recognize what incense. ”

Ye Wanran stared at her with a straight face.

"You don't care so much about what to do, I was just afraid that you wouldn't agree, so I sent a few of them together."

"Anyway, you immediately send someone to the government to release them now, it's just a misunderstanding, and it's not a shame to be so aggressive!"

Lose face?

Shen Lingyu shook his head and smiled lightly.

She didn't think so.

Ye Wanran is like this, but she is afraid that if those people can't get out, they will confess her true purpose of sending them to the account room in the prison.

At that time, everyone knew that the second lady of the General's Mansion was a thief who coveted the public treasury, and her reputation was ruined, and Ye Wanran would not be able to stay in Shengjing from then on.

But in this matter, she is not in charge, no matter what, she has to provoke the relationship between Xia Ye Wanran and the old lady.

The old lady followed Ye Wanran early in the morning to settle the account, and she didn't believe that the old lady would not be able to guess the real situation last night.

But she is still devoted to Ye Wanran, which is a little too much to say.

"Mother, the second brother is now in prison, after you said yesterday that you would take out five thousand taels from the public treasury, I quickly asked Chen Shu to take care of the account room, I was afraid that something would happen, how could I think something happened last night."

"I'm wholeheartedly thinking about the General's Mansion, as for what others think, I don't care, now as long as you say a word, if you agree to release those people, I will send someone to the government to close the case."

The old lady listened intently, glanced at Ye Wanran behind her with displeasure, and then looked at Shen Lingyu.

After a while, Yu Yu sighed.

"Since it's a misunderstanding, let's make it clear to the government, so as not to make things go out and let outsiders see the joke."

Shen Lingyu nodded and smiled: "Okay, since my mother said so, it's not good for my daughter-in-law to go too far." ”

Ye Wanran couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw her relieved.

Then I heard Shen Lingyu say: "But before Chen Shu found them last night, they had already been in and out of the account room, and after the count, they found that a lot of things were missing, if it was ......"

"What nonsense are you talking about, I only let them go once!" Ye Wanran said bluntly.

The old lady frowned unhappily, "You shut up for me!" ”

Instead, he looked at Shen Lingyu again.

"You say, what's missing?"

Shen Lingyu smiled: "It's nothing, it's just a few pieces of silk from Caiyunzhuang, as well as two antique vases, three South China Sea pearls, four pairs of jade bracelets, and ......."

"And?!"

Ye Wanran couldn't listen to it anymore.

Shen Lingyu's move made it clear that she was here to trap her.

"I've never seen what you said, so don't you lie to me here!"

Shen Lingyu was startled and said: "Oh, second sister-in-law, that's bad, you haven't seen those things, it must be that they secretly hid and didn't tell you!" No, I don't think these people can be released! ”

"You!"

Ye Wanran almost fainted on the spot.

She still understands the temperament of the people who go out in her yard.

Don't say that they don't have the guts to hide it privately, even if they do, they would have taken it out to save their lives as early as the moment they were sent to the government, how could it be Shen Lingyu's turn to talk nonsense here!

But on the contrary, Shen Lingyu's words made her unable to pick out the thorns.

How good is that?

Ye Wanran had no choice but to look at the old lady.

The old lady wanted to kill her with a cane.

Something that is not enough to succeed and more than to lose, if you don't have enough brains, you should learn to be a man with your tail between your legs, and you can't clean up so many incidents every day, these years have really raised her in vain!

"Those people were raised by you, and now that something has happened, you, the master, should bear it, and go back to your yard to count your private treasury later, and see if they put things into the private treasury, and spit out all the things they take!"

"Mother!"

Ye Wanran was completely dumbfounded.

Stealing chickens is not a loss of rice, and she must not lose all her private treasury now!
