Chapter 478 Mother's hysteria strikes again

Chai Zhi's pupils shrank slightly. Jiang family?

Which Jiang family!

The only Jiang family that could have such a deep blood feud with the Chai family was the Jiang Yanhu lineage!

But back then, in order to prevent the Jiang family from holding a grudge, he persuaded the general to kill them, and no one in the Jiang family was spared.

Now, how come there are still remnants of the Jiang family?

Mrs. Chai had obviously come from the border with Chai Zhi. When she saw the word "Jiang", her face turned pale.

"Master...Master...How could there still be someone alive in the Jiang family?"

Mrs. Chai didn't know the inside story, but she could guess something. Even if her guess was not correct, at least she knew that Chai Zhi had secretly accused Jiang Yanhu of treason and collusion with the enemy.

"They are here to take revenge, they are here to take revenge on the master!" Mrs. Chai fell to the ground and burst into tears.

Chai Zhi was shocked and felt uneasy.

Chopping the grass does not remove the roots, but the spring breeze blows and regenerates.

The entire Jiang family was killed back then, how come there are still people left!

Chai Zhi was afraid that it was someone else's conspiracy, but who else could have been responsible for such a blatant provocation but the Jiang family, with whom he had a deep blood feud?

Also, the characters under the note were clearly a mark that only the Jiang family knew at the time.

Three days later, Shen Shuyi stood in front of the window thinking about the battle of Lushan.

This matter should not be difficult to investigate, but she does not have a reasonable identity.

And those who have status may not have the courage.

Thinking of this, Shen Shuyi turned around and took the prescription that he had written for Xie Jingchi a few days ago and the medicinal food that Yuping had prepared, and said, "Prepare some more New Year gifts. Also, do you still have the ebony hairpin that you bought before?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xin and Jian Po subconsciously looked up at Shen Shuyi, wanting to say something but stopping themselves.

Yuping paused and asked, "Are you referring to the Epiphyllum ebony hairpin that you bought ten of last time?"

Shen Shuyi corrected: "The one I carved myself."

Yuping's eyes twitched: Which one did you carve?

"There are five more." Yu Ping said with difficulty: "One was given to the Wolf King, one was given to Jiang Li, two were given to Zhao's cousin, and one was given to Jiu Chou..."

Shen Shuyi paused: "Have you given so much away?"

Jinzhu immediately advised: "Miss, you and Lord Xie have a life-and-death friendship, so... you should at least show some sincerity? How about giving him a white jade hairpin?"

Shen Shuyi asked: "Is there anyone suitable?"

Jinzhu immediately took out the jewelry box, rummaged through it, picked out a few pieces and presented them to Shen Shuyi: "Take a look."

Shen Shuyi took a look and picked out a white jade pear blossom hairpin of good quality.

The pear blossoms carved on it are very small and not eye-catching, but they have a sense of freshness and delicacy, and are inexplicably cute.

"Let's do this."

Hearing this, Qin Xin and Jiang Po breathed a sigh of relief, and Yu Ping and Jin Zhu also breathed a sigh of relief.

The next moment, Shen Shuyi said, "Send the ebony hairpin as well. After all, something carved by hand is a token of deep affection."

"Miss, why don't you not send me off..." Qin Xin couldn't help but speak.

After all, the master already has one.

Shen Shuyi looked at her and said confidently: "Everyone else has it, so how can Lord Xie not have it?"

The matter-of-fact tone left Qin Xin speechless, unable to speak for a long time.

Okay, okay, as long as you are happy!

Shen Shuyi felt depressed when he thought of the death of the entire Jiang family and the 60,000 soldiers in the Battle of Lushan.

She took a few maids to relax in the garden, thinking about the clues Jiang Li had asked Chai Bin.

Jiang Li said that the account book of General Lu Xiao who was collecting empty salaries must be in the hands of Concubine Rou.

The Chai family played a crucial role in this matter. Chai Bin didn't know this secret at all. It was just that his sister, Concubine Li, who followed Concubine Rou's orders in the palace, accidentally heard the secret and revealed it to him.

In addition to this, the other family that betrayed Jiang Yanhu and gave false testimony was the Ge family. However, unlike the Chai family who is very prominent, the Ge family has always acted low-key. Judging from the information Shen Shuyi received, the Ge family did not openly take sides.

However, if there were no interests involved, how could the Ge family accuse the Jiang family of betrayal?

Shen Shuyi had a headache just thinking about it.

Although the Roufei clan committed serious acts of confiscation of property and extermination of the clan, one was his childhood sweetheart, and the other was his blood-related son. Without solid evidence, Emperor Qianwu would not be so cruel.

In addition, the decree to execute the entire Jiang family was issued by Emperor Qianwu himself. If he admitted the truth about the Battle of Lushan, it would be tantamount to admitting to the world that he was deceived and wrongly killed loyal ministers.

From ancient times to the present, how many emperors have been able to do this?

Shen Shuyi stood beside the frozen river and sighed softly, thinking that he had to get the account book from Concubine Rou first.

Just then, Qin Xuerong came over with a smile on her face.

"Hey, Sister Yi, why are you standing here? It's so cold, don't freeze yourself."

Qin Xuerong took the initiative to step forward, wearing a brand new golden hairpin on her head, and her eyes and eyebrows were full of spring color.

Shen Shuyi knew that her father had stayed at her place last night.

Qin Xuerong has been in the mansion for many years and is naturally no pushover. Although she does not have any foresight, she does have many little tricks up her sleeve.

Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "Mother is in a good mood today."

Qin Xuerong had a proud look in her eyes: "Of course, the wound on Yujie'er's face has mostly healed, and Lin'er is also safe and sound. After the New Year, An'er is waiting for his fate in the Autumn Examination. What else can I be dissatisfied with?"

"Congratulations, mother." Shen Shuyi smiled and didn't bother to care about Qin Xuerong's current inferior methods.

"Your father came to visit me in my room yesterday. After all, a husband and wife are bound by love for a hundred days. The Qin family helped Han Ge'er to invite a teacher. Your father was touched. To be honest, he wants to thank you for giving me this opportunity."

Qin Xuerong was in high spirits at the moment and felt that Shen Shuyi was just a paper tiger. Although he had some tricks, they were not that powerful.

Shen Shuyi's eyes curved: "As long as mother is happy, I will be relieved."

Seeing her sincere smile, Qin Xuerong felt as if she had punched cotton and did not feel happy.

She pulled the corner of her lip and said, "Shen Shuyi, don't be complacent. The master still favors me. It won't be long before I regain the position of head of the family."

"Look, mother's hysteria has come back again." Shen Shuyi said seriously to Jinzhu beside him.

"You!" Qin Xuerong's eyes were filled with hatred. She wanted to say something else, but Shen Shuyi changed the subject: "Has mother visited Sister Zhen recently?"

Qin Xuerong paused, wondering why she suddenly mentioned Shen Jingzhen.

Ever since her mother had made great efforts to hire a teacher for Shen Shuhan last time, she had used some means to strike while the iron was hot, and now her relationship with the master has been restored to some extent.

Her mother sent her two trusted maids, and her life now was much better than before.

"What's wrong with Sister Zhen? Shen Shuyi, you don't have to be mysterious here. I was fooled by you once, do you think I will be fooled a second time?" Qin Xuerong's eyes were gloomy.

Shen Shuyi raised the corners of his lips: "Why is mother so sure that I am lying to you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Cuizhu ran over in a hurry, her face pale: "Madam, it's not good..."

The next moment, seeing Shen Shuyi, Cuizhu swallowed her words back into her stomach.

Qin Xuerong glanced at Shen Shuyi, then looked at Cuizhu: "Speak."

Cuizhu's face turned pale, and before she could finish her words, tears fell down: "There was news from the old lady, saying... that the young master broke a leg!"
