After leaving the palace and returning to the Marquis Mansion, Shen Nanyun couldn't walk any longer, and the more she thought about it, the more worried she became.

She remembered what Princess An Ning said about Master Wang, and decided to go to the carpenter's shop to have a look.

Master Wang's shop is very famous, and Shen Nanyun found it after a little inquiry.

Master Fu Wang's young apprentice who received her saw Shen Nanyun asking about the blueprints in a roundabout way. He thought that she was like those who came before and wanted to ask if the blueprints could be sold. After all, the blueprints of the first waterwheel could not be sold. Collectible.

Then he said, "Girl, his master said that the drawing is very precious, so I won't ask you to take it back."

Shen Nanyun still refused to give up, "My master really has complete blueprints in his legs?"

"That's very true. He personally handed the drawings into the master's lap."

Ana Shen bit her lip, turned around and left.

And a person walked to the carpenter's shop with her, "County Master Shen..." But the other person seemed worried and didn't hear her. When he was about to call again, Shen Nanyun had already walked away.

The young apprentice looked at the visitor and said, "Do I also want to see the drawings?"

The man smiled and said, "I told my master that I asked him to come out to help guide me that time, and he gave me the best pear blossom wine to honor him."

Young apprentice: "I'll wait a moment."

On the other side, after returning home, Shen Nanyun couldn't eat anything because she was afraid that Yun Qingyin would really reveal the incident about the waterwheel.

Looking at the hot weather outside, Shen Nanyun asked the maid, "Is his father back?"

"The Marquis has just returned home and is probably just getting ready for dinner."

Shen Nanyun got up and went to the main courtyard of the Hou Mansion.

Marquis Zhongyong has not been smiling lately. As he walked around the palace, all the adults who met him asked for congratulations. Many people even asked about Shen Nanyun's engagement.

When a family has a daughter, there are many things to ask for. As a father, there is nothing more worthy of pride.

"Father, mother."

"Yun'er is here, go east quickly."

Zhongyonghou asked with concern, "Are you tired of going to the Ministry of Works?"

"It's not tiring." Shen Nanyun said with a smile, "The adults in the Ministry of Industry are all skilled craftsmen, but what he has done in front of them can't be done at all."

"Well, it is a good thing to know how to be modest. When walking around the palace, you must be extremely careful. When you meet the princes and princesses, you must not argue with them."

Shen Nanyun's smile faded slightly, "Has father heard about what happened between him and Princess An Ning?"

Marquis Zhongyong nodded, "There is no place to hide the wind in the palace. The slightest disturbance will spread out. Princess An Ning has been arrogant since she was a child. After all, she and the prince are from the same family. It is right for me to be more cautious. No, if it is not true, It's her fault, and he will never let me be wronged."

Shen Nanyun nodded slightly, "Actually, if Princess An Ning comes to see him tomorrow, she will tell him one thing."

…

Shortly after the county school invited Shen Nanyun to give a lecture, some news spread that the person who drew the waterwheel drawings was not Shen Nanyun at all, but someone else.

The news spread in a small area and did not alarm anyone in the court or palace, but somehow it reached the ears of Marquis Zhongyong.

Marquis Zhongyong thought of what Shen Nanyun had said, that Princess An Ning and Yun Qingyin were close, and Yun Qingyin encouraged Princess An Ning to beg her to give her the credit for the waterwheel.

When Marquis Zhongyong arrived at the restaurant and saw Yun Qingyin, he asked, "Did I spread the rumors outside?"

Yun Qingyin said, "What rumors?"

Princess An Ning walked in from outside, "Then it's not a rumor, but it's true. The person who gave Master Wang the waterwheel drawings is Yun Qingyin."

"Princess An Ning." Marquis Zhongyong suppressed his anger, "He knew that I was on good terms with her and shut up for her, but he also made it clear whether he was not."

Yun Qingyin's eyebrows turned cold. She had never heard of any so-called rumors before, but she became famous at that time.

"Marquis Zhongyong, I can tell the princess's fault clearly. After I heard the rumor, have I confirmed it? Have I found anyone to confirm it?" Yun Qingyin said lightly.

"I don't admit it!" Hou Zhongyong made her extremely disappointed. "He knows the ins and outs of that incident better than me. Did he actually watch Yun'er draw the drawings with his own eyes?"

"Oh?" Yun Qingyin smiled lazily. She was walking and her eyes were crooked. When she looked up at Marquis Zhongyong, there was a clear coldness in her eyes. "Did I draw the first drawing while I watched her?"

"He..." Zhongyong Hou became angry with shame, "I don't want to argue with you! Yun'er has been affected by that incident. I must go back with him to apologize to her."

Princess An Ning was very angry than Yun Qingyin, "Marquis Zhongyong, how could I do that?"

Marquis Zhongyong said, "Princess, it's his family affairs. I'd rather not ask for my involvement."

Princess An Ning looked at her angrily.

Yun Qingyin put her legs and arms on the table and pulled Princess An Ning away to the east. Marquis Cuo Zhongyong said, "I'll go over there and get him a wooden stick."

Yun Qingyin pointed to a corner of the restaurant lobby.

Marquis Zhongyong was puzzled, "What are you doing with a stick?"

"Oh, it's somewhat useful."

Marquis Zhongyong said, "I will go back with him later."

Marquis Zhongyong walked over to where Yun Qingyin said he was.

Princess An Ning asked, "Why should I ask him to go there?"

"Ah——" The scream that belonged to Marquis Zhongyong alone was deafening.

Yun Qingyin stretched out and said, "A few mice appeared in the restaurant a few days ago. He put a few mouse traps there."

Princess An Ning silently released her grip on Yun Qingyin's leg and stepped away some distance.

Yun Qingyin stood up and walked over.

Marquis Zhongyong was caught in a mouse trap as soon as his foot was caught, and he was in a state of embarrassment. He roared angrily, "Yun Qingyin!"

Yun Qingyin took out the wooden stick from his leg, held it in the palm of his other leg and lifted it up to test his strength, "I just asked him what he was doing with the stick, and now -"

Yun Qingyin smiled and said, "Answer me." She raised the wooden stick and hit Marquis Zhongyong on the back of his neck.

Marquis Zhongyong's vision went dark and he fainted.

Marquis Zhongyong woke up three hours later. When he opened his eyes, his feet were throbbing in pain and the back of his neck was very painful. Thinking of what Yun Qingyin did wrong to him before he passed out, Marquis Zhongyong was furious.

"He begged Yun Qingyin to be tied up, not to teach her a lesson!"

Mrs. Xu brought over the soup, "Didn't I go to Yin'er's restaurant to help catch mice before I fell down?"

Marquis Zhongyong was so shocked that his face deformed. Under Xu's puzzled gaze, his expression changed several times. At first, he nodded with an expression as if he had taken a bite of shit, "No, did he go to catch mice..."

Please tell me in front of my wife that he, a noble and brave man, was tricked into being like that by a smelly girl and was thrown into shame.

Mrs. Xu fed him some medicine and said, "Bu Nao, why did I remember going to see Yin'er?"

Marquis Zhongyong's attitude turned cold, "I know what bastard thing she did!"

After saying that, he waited to drink the medicine, but saw Mrs. Xu pouring out the medicine bowl.

Marquis Zhongyong: "..."

"lady……"

Mrs. Xu stood up and said, "Master Hou, do you remember the time when you wrongfully accused Yin'er?"

"He knows." Zhongyong Hou said sarcastically, "But is it different that time? Can something as big as a waterwheel be a joke?"

Marquis Zhongyong told Xu what happened.

"In that case, let's find someone to prove it. The blueprint is in Master Wang's lap. Just ask Master Wang."

Marquis Zhongyong didn't want to, "Master Wang might be bribed by others. I didn't see Yun'er painting the waterwheel with his own eyes. How could it be fake? Madam, I won't care about that matter. Leave it to me."

Give it to him."

After resting for a few days, Marquis Zhongyong was finally able to walk. He sent Shen Nanyun to the palace gate, "He must ask her to give me an explanation about the rumors."

Shen Nanyun nodded, "Sister Keke did it on purpose. I very much ask my father not to punish her excessively."

"If she hadn't admitted her mistake in time, he wouldn't have pursued it excessively."

At the gate of the palace, a carriage stopped, and two people came out of the carriage, one was Master Fu Wang, and the other was Lord Fu from the Ministry of Industry.
