The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 425 Shen Yanxi, please restrain yourself

Jiang Mushi was stunned and turned his head to look behind him, just in time to meet Shen Yanxi's faint gaze, and suddenly felt guilty.

Seeing the tea in Shen Yanxi's hand, Jiang Mushi hurriedly wanted to take it.

"I'll do it. How can I trouble my future brother-in-law to serve tea?"

Shen Yanxi raised his eyebrows and avoided Jiang Mushi's hand that was about to take the teapot.

"Don't be polite, brother-in-law. After all, you've been rude to me before, and I'm used to it."

Jiang Mushi: "..."

He was cold and arrogant? Did he ever do that?

Ok……

Maybe it happened once or twice, but didn't he know Shen Yanxi very well at that time?

Seeing Shen Yanxi walking to the table with the teapot, Jiang Mushi also walked over and sat down, explaining.

"Before, it was because we didn't understand each other, so..."

"No need to explain. As long as you don't push for a new brother-in-law in front of Ning Ning, I will be very grateful."

Shen Yanxi placed a cup of tea in front of Jiang Mushi, his tone was faint and a little aggrieved, but this aggrieved tone was clearly not towards Jiang Mushi, but towards Jiang Suining.

Hearing a hint of complaint, Jiang Mushi gritted his teeth and said, "That's absolutely impossible. Don't worry, brother-in-law!"

The word "brother-in-law" made Shen Yanxi's lips curl up, and he looked quite satisfied.

Jiang Suining felt amused when he saw Shen Yanxi's expression. He pretended not to hear what he said and spoke to Jiang Mushi.

"Mu Shi, what's the matter with you coming here?"

Jiang Mushi looked at Shen Yanxi and then at Pei Zhaozhi. Although he didn't know why they came, they appeared at this time and did not let the servants serve them, so he thought they had something important to say.

"Sister, my matter is not urgent. You guys talk first, I will come to you later." Jiang Mushi spoke very tactfully.

Jiang Suining didn't say much, just nodded in agreement, and soon Jiang Mushi left the yard. Before leaving, Jiang Mushi did not forget to look at Shen Yanxi again.

Shen Yanxi only picked up the teapot to pour tea for Jiang Suining, and sighed, "Ningning is partial. You can't really be planning to change your husband like your brother-in-law said."

"Shen Yanxi, let's talk business, please tone it down." Jiang Suining was amused and helpless. After glaring at Shen Yanxi, he turned to Pei Zhao and said, "Master Pei, please continue."

Pei Zhaozhi suppressed his desire to watch the fun, and spoke with a serious look and a slightly lowered voice.

"Your idea was really good. Duke Yang was frightened and confessed everything. Once his confession came out, the people in the Ministry of Personnel could no longer hold back and were worried that they would be the last to speak. According to the confession, they did kill to silence the witness, but Liu Sheng's death was beyond their expectations. Liu Sheng was not on duty that night, and they didn't know why Liu Sheng was there, and they were burned to death in the fire together."

Afterwards, everything was treated as an accident, and the deaths of both Liu Sheng and the official from the Ministry of Personnel were quickly suppressed.

Clearly, it was two lives that were at stake, but there didn't seem to be even a ripple.

And such things may not only happen in the Ministry of Personnel.

Thinking of this, Pei Zhaozhi could not help but frown again. A feeling of resentment towards the court parasites and murderers weighed on his heart. He had frowned countless times since he started investigating this case.

"So now we have ruled out the possibility that Liu Sheng was killed to silence him because of the Ministry of Personnel's affairs. The only possibility left is an accident, or... someone took advantage of the situation to silence him."

"It's unlikely to be an accident. After all, it's not his duty day. Why would he suddenly show up? This alone is very suspicious." Pei Zhaozhi thought for a moment, "I think it's the latter. Maybe someone noticed Liu Sheng's investigation and found out that the Ministry of Personnel wanted to kill people to silence them, so they used someone else's knife to kill them."

Shen Yanxi held the teacup, the rim of the cup resting on his lips, the heat misting his brows, "Now it seems that this possibility is indeed greater."

"But we can't draw a conclusion based on speculation alone. We need evidence. It's been so long since the incident happened, and the identity of the person behind it might not be simple. If we want to find evidence..."

Jiang Suining didn't finish his words. After a moment's silence, he changed his words.

"But no matter what, there is still a direction."

After all, a letter from my father is not enough to solve the old case.

As for Chu Yisheng, if there is no solid evidence in front of him, it will be difficult to completely pry him open. It is better to have strong evidence to pull out what happened back then.

"Miss Jiang is right. No matter what, we now have a direction. I believe that every trace left by a goose remains. As long as we continue investigating, we will definitely find clues." Pei Zhaozhi said in a firm tone.

Shen Yanxi considered the matter and looked at Jiang Suining. "Ningning, this incident happened many years ago. It will take time to investigate. As I said before, don't get involved in this matter before you find sufficient evidence."

Although Ningning's family was saved when her father was convicted, once the matter became public, there might be people who would attack Ningning.

And after all, he is a person involved in the incident. If he intervenes too early, rumors will easily spread later.

"I understand, don't worry." Jiang Suining knew very well what Shen Yanxi meant.

My current identity does not allow me to get involved, and the investigation of the case is the responsibility of the court. If I involve too many people, I am afraid that people will criticize me in the future. Even if the truth is found out, it will inevitably leave controversy.

Therefore, she currently has no plans to get involved in this matter too much, and most of her energy will still be focused on the female officials and business as usual, but...

"I am sorry to trouble you with this matter, especially Lord Pei. I will use tea instead of wine. Thank you in advance."

Pei Zhaozhi raised his teacup. "Miss Jiang, please don't be polite to me. Brother Shen is right. But if you have similar ideas in the future, please remember to let me know. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Duke Yang and those officials from the Ministry of Personnel may not be able to open their mouths yet."

"Definitely." Jiang Suining nodded with a smile, "But this time it was probably just a coincidence. I may not have such luck again in the future."

If he hadn't happened to meet some people blocking the road to watch the excitement on the street, and hadn't seen Yang Manman, it would have been difficult for him to come up with such an idea.

"Ms. Jiang, please don't be so modest. It's not just luck. If you weren't smart, you wouldn't have come up with this idea." Pei Zhaozhi's tone was full of praise.

Jiang Suining smiled leisurely and said nothing more.

Pei Zhaozhi did not stay long. After drinking tea, he quickly left with Shen Yanxi.

After they left, Jiang Suining called Xier and the others.

When Pei Zhaozhi and the others arrived just now, Jiang Suining sent them all away. It wasn't because he didn't trust them, but he just thought that for the time being, the fewer people who knew about this matter, the better.

After hearing that Shen Yanxi and the others had left, Jiang Mushi returned to Jiang Suining's yard.
