Chapter 479 Don’t worry, check slowly
Qin Xuerong's face suddenly turned pale, and she grabbed Cuizhu's hand tightly: "What did you say? What did you say!!!"
Cuizhu, with tears in her eyes, nodded vigorously at Qin Xuerong.
Qin Xuerong’s eyes went dark and she fainted.
"lady!"
"lady!!!"
Cuizhu and several maids hurriedly supported her and pressed on her philtrum and fingers. Only then did Qin Xuerong wake up.
But even though she was awake, she still felt dizzy and her vision was black.
"Fake! It must be fake!" Qin Xuerong muttered to herself.
Cuizhu shook her head and choked up: "The old lady has sent people to confirm it, it is indeed... the young master..."
"No! It's impossible..."
Qin Xuerong shook her head in panic. Her anxiety and then her relief after learning that Shen Jinglin was fine, turned into overwhelming despair at this moment.
She seemed to react suddenly, and looked up at Shen Shuyi, her eyes gloomy and full of hatred.
"Shen Shuyi! It's you, right? You did it, right!"
Qin Xuerong seemed to have suddenly gained strength. She got up and rushed forward, trying to grab Shen Shuyi's collar.
Jinzhu tripped her without making a sound and stood firmly in front of Shen Shuyi to protect her.
Qin Xuerong stumbled and fell at Shen Shuyi's feet.
She grabbed Shen Shuyi's dress, looked up at her with a ferocious expression: "It's you! It must have been you who did it!"
She suddenly remembered that after learning that Shen Jinglin was safe and sound that day, Shen Shuyi said to her meaningfully that Lin'er's leg would definitely be broken.
At that time, she didn't understand what she meant, and didn't understand why she was so sure. She thought she was just pretending to be strong and trying to scare people!
But she clearly had a plan in mind, she was a clear threat!
It’s so rampant! It’s really too rampant!
Shen Shuyi bent down to help her up: "What are you doing, mother? Get up quickly."
"You did it! You sent someone to do it later! Right, Shen Shuyi! It was you!"
Qin Xuerong was extremely confident, and it was not until this moment that she finally understood the meaning of Shen Shuyi's words.
Qin Xuerong was heartbroken, but Shen Shuyi looked calm and whispered, "It's me, so what can my mother do?"
"Ah! Shen Shuyi, I will kill you!!!" Qin Xuerong pushed her towards her.
Shen Shuyi was pushed and staggered, fortunately Jinzhu supported her from behind.
"Qin Xuerong, what are you doing again!" Shen Jingchuan's voice suddenly rang out.
Qin Xuerong turned her head and saw Shen Jingchuan walking with Shen Jingan and a colleague not far away.
As soon as she saw Shen Jingchuan, Qin Xuerong immediately stepped forward with sobs: "Master, Shen Shuyi sent someone to break Lin'er's leg! Lin'er's leg was broken, it was Shen Shuyi who did it! It was Shen Shuyi who murdered Lin'er, Master!"
"What nonsense are you talking about again!" Shen Jingchuan said angrily.
"Master, it was really Shen Shuyi! It was really Shen Shuyi who did it. Brother Lin has a broken leg, a broken leg!" Qin Xuerong cried out of breath.
Shen Jingan also frowned, intending to help her up: "Mother, this is Lord Lu, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, you get up first."
Qin Xuerong couldn't listen at all at this moment, her mind was full of Shen Jinglin's broken leg.
Compared to Shen Jinglin's broken leg, Shen Shuyi's rampant provocation and recklessness were even more unacceptable to her!
"Swords and knives have no mercy on the battlefield. Even if he really broke a leg, it was his own fault!" Shen Jingchuan scolded in a deep voice.
"No! No, it was Shen Shuyi who ordered it. A few days ago, she told me that Lin'er's legs would show signs of weakness sooner or later! She was the one who sent someone to murder Lin'er!"
Shen Jingchuan was furious: "Do you want to see what you are saying!"
After Shen Shuyi stepped forward and greeted Shen Jingchuan and Minister Lu, she spoke in a deep voice, "I don't know how I have offended mother. Perhaps mother is just thinking about my sixth brother a little crazy."
"Shen Shuyi! You are crazy! You are insane!" Qin Xuerong was shaking all over. For the first time, she felt a kind of powerlessness that she couldn't explain even with her mouth.
"Shut up!" Shen Jingchuan felt completely humiliated and was very angry.
Qin Xuerong's tears fell one by one: "Master, please believe me..."
Without Shen Shuyi saying anything, Shen Jingchuan pushed her away: "Lin Ge'er is thousands of miles away. How can Yi Jie, a girl in the boudoir, have the ability to cut off Lin Ge'er's leg!"
"Master, it must be someone else she instructed..."
"Enough! Take her away!" Shen Jingchuan said impatiently.
After that, he bowed to Minister Lu and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Brother Lu."
"Madam is also missing her son very much. It's understandable." Minister Lu comforted her.
Shen Jingchuan looked at Shen Shuyi and said, "You should go and rest first. Your mother might be suffering from hysteria. Don't provoke her today."
"Yes, father."
After Shen Shuyi left, he could still hear Qin Xuerong's cursing and roaring.
She looked cold, just like how Qin Xuerong had behaved when she murdered her mother Zhao Derong.
It had been too long and she was very young at the time. Even if she knew the truth, it would have been difficult for her to find any evidence. She could not express her suffering in any way.
Now, let her have a taste of this feeling.
"How's the investigation going into Qin Xuerong's bribery for official positions that I asked my uncle to investigate for me?" Shen Shuyi asked Yuping.
Yu Ping responded in a low voice: "We are still investigating. This matter was done legitimately. It is difficult to have solid evidence to prove that Madam bought an official position for the brother's family."
Shen Shuyi nodded: "No hurry, check slowly."

Five days later, it’s New Year’s Eve.
As the last day of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, a banquet was held in the palace at 1:05 p.m.
Officials of high rank were allowed to bring their families into the palace, which was considered a royal grace.
Shen Shuyi received the Empress Dowager's order and was taken to Funing Palace first along with the female members of her family.
Although it was winter, the palace was filled with joy, and even the faces of the palace maids and eunuchs had a different kind of spirit.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen Mother. May Her Majesty live a long and healthy life." Shen Shuyi knelt down to greet her.
The Queen Mother saw her and said kindly: "Get up. It's the end of the year and your Majesty is busy dealing with government affairs. I am bored. I thought you would come to the palace, so I wanted to ask you to come and walk with me."
"It's your honor." Shen Shuyi handed a red lantern she brought from outside the palace to Aunt Chenxiang.
The Queen Mother took a look and saw that they were a pair of jade rabbits. They were uniquely shaped and cute, and outlined with red cinnabar, which made them look lively and festive.
"You are treating me like a child." The Queen Mother said with a smile.
Although it is not a valuable thing, it does represent a concern.
Moreover, Shen Shuyi did not use her to seek credit, but instead made the empress dowager love her more.
"I just found it interesting that the jade rabbit's eyes can move." Shen Shuyi replied.
Hearing this, Aunt Chenxiang lowered her head and took a careful look, and then she discovered that there was indeed a small mechanism on the rabbit's ear. When she pulled it gently, the rabbit's ears and eyes moved together, and it looked lifelike.
