Chapter 545 Shen Yu enters the Grand Prince's Mansion
After failing to target Xie Qichen's son, he never tried again.
Because he knew that although there was no movement in Prince An's Mansion and they were not searching for Xie Qichen's son in a high-profile manner, Prince An's Mansion was secretly not idle. Not only did they send out all the servants in the house, they also sent out a lot of secret guards.
In addition, Xie Yunzhou, the second son of Prince An's Mansion, also went out. Although on the surface he went to Tongxintang in various places to check the accounts, this reason might deceive others but not him. Xie Yunzhou must have gone out to find his missing nephew.
Thinking that a child who was only seven years old could escape from his men, it would be impossible for him to return to the capital alive.
What made them think of was that last year Xie Yunzhou brought back two people from other places. One was the missing Xie Mingxuan, and the other was Xie Wan'er who was said to have been missing from Prince An's Mansion for seventeen years.
He still remembered the young lady who disappeared in Prince An's Mansion seventeen years ago. It caused quite a big commotion at the time, and Prince An's Mansion sent all the people in the family out to look for her. Prince An also went to the palace to ask his father for help in the search, but after more than half a month of hard work, she was still not found.
He still remembered that someone said at the time that even if she was found, the person's innocence would definitely have been lost. A woman like this had only one way out, and that was to commit suicide obediently, not to embarrass her family, and not to bring shame to the family, so that it would be difficult for girls in the family to get married in the future.
When Prince An heard this, he immediately sent people to find out who said it. After finding the person, Prince An was not polite to that person. Although he did not destroy the person's family, he took half his life. From then on, no one in the capital said anything about Xie Wan'er.
As the eldest prince, he would not take such people and things to heart. Today, when he heard the butler say that the young lady of Prince An's Mansion came to pay a visit, what happened in Prince An's Mansion seventeen years ago instantly popped into his mind.
Although he didn't know how Xie Yunzhou found his aunt, he knew clearly that the person Xie Yunzhou brought back to the mansion did not include a girl.
However, Mr. Jin's next words made the eldest prince suddenly realize who the so-called Miss An's Mansion was.
"From what you said, sir, this young lady from Prince An's Mansion is fake."
"That's right. I specially asked someone to check. The girl who pretended to be Xie Wan'er's daughter, Shen Yu, was a refugee who fled from Guangping Prefecture. I don't know how she ran to Prince An's Mansion to claim her relatives, claiming to be Xie Wan'er's daughter."
At this time, the eldest prince understood that Shen Yu came to the capital and heard about the disappearance of the eldest daughter of Prince An's Mansion seventeen years ago. In order to no longer live a hard life with no food to eat, he set his sights on Prince An's Mansion.
He didn't know whether this girl named Shen Yu had brains or not. If she had a normal brain, she would know how many girls had come to the gate of Prince An's mansion to claim their relatives in the past seventeen years. Without exception, all of them were driven out of the mansion, and some were not even allowed to enter the mansion.
But to say that Shen Yu was stupid, she successfully entered the Prince An's Mansion and was recognized by the old lady and became the young lady of the Prince An's Mansion.
It seems that Shen Yu does have some ability, otherwise how could he have become the legitimate master of Prince An's Mansion.
But Prince An has already made it clear that he will not stand on his side, so why would Shen Yu come to his house to pay a visit?
Thinking of this, the eldest prince asked the eunuch Fang Hai who was still standing at the door.
"Besides Miss Shen, is there anyone else following?"
"My Lord, Miss Shen only brought one maid."
"Go outside the mansion and bring Miss Shen here."
"Yes, eldest prince."
After receiving the eldest prince's order, Fang Hai turned around and walked towards the gate.
When Fang Hai was no longer visible, the eldest prince asked Mr. Jin in confusion, "Mr. Jin, why do you think Shen Yu came to see me?"
"Your Highness, let alone a woman of marriageable age, even a woman of eight or nine years old would care about her own lifelong affairs. From my point of view, Shen Yu came to see Your Highness because she likes Your Highness and wants to become the woman in Your Highness's backyard, or the real mistress of the First Prince's Mansion."
"Heh, Shen Yu has quite a big appetite. He wants to take the position of the prince's principal wife. This is not a blessing that a fake lady like him can have."
"Your Highness, you can't say that. Since Shen Yu is capable of getting Prince An's Mansion to recognize her, and after Xie Wan'er was found, Prince An's Mansion was still able to accommodate her, which shows that Shen Yu is still quite capable. Your Highness might as well wait and see what Shen Yu says before we act accordingly. Maybe Shen Yu is a breakthrough. Your Highness has always wanted to gain the power of Prince An's Mansion, right? If Shen Yu has something to ask for, he will definitely find ways to help Your Highness. In this way, the seemingly impossible will become true, and perhaps there will be unexpected gains."
Originally, the eldest prince had no good impression of Shen Yu because a girl came directly to the door of his mansion.
After all, how could the daughter of a truly good family go to a man's house alone? He didn't want to have another woman who was willing to lower herself to a low position in his backyard.
However, he also understood that what Mr. Jin said was right. This was a critical period and he really needed the help of Prince An's Mansion. Since he couldn't get what he wanted from other directions, he might as well start from Shen Yu, which might bring him a surprise.
Thinking of this, the eldest prince no longer had any prejudice against Shen Yu, and instead looked forward to Shen Yu's arrival.
After an incense stick of time, Shen Yu came to the meeting room under the guidance of Fang Hai.
The eldest prince knew the value of Shen Yu. When he saw the girl walking towards him, the expression of disgust on his face was no longer there, but he became gentle instead.
"Your servant Shen Yu pays respect to the eldest prince."
"Ms. Shen, please stand up and sit down."
"Thank you, Prince."
Shen Yu stood up, walked forward a few steps, and sat on an empty chair closer to the eldest prince.
"Miss Shen, what do you want from me?"
Shen Yu finally met the eldest prince whom he had been thinking about day and night, and he was extremely excited.
After standing outside the door waiting for so long, she originally thought that she would not be able to enter the eldest prince's palace today. Unexpectedly, when she was anxious to go back, she was respectfully invited in by the butler.
All the way from the door to the conference room, her mind was never idle. She was thinking about what she should say when she met the eldest prince, how to make the eldest prince believe her, marry her back home, and become the eldest prince's principal wife.
However, she also had the confidence that the eldest prince would marry her willingly, and that he would make her the mistress of the mansion, and in the future he would let her sit on the highest position and become the true mother of a country.
