Suddenly, Shen Zhiyi's heart felt as if he was stabbed hard by an invisible needle, making him almost unable to stand still. Jiang Yu's eyes were quick and his hands were quick to catch him in time. The bluestone below fell down and his head might have been damaged.
"Are you okay?"
Shen Zhiyi shook his head. She knew her body was not that fragile. She was too busy during this period. She just needed a rest. "Nothing, I have to go to Shen's mansion."
She always vaguely felt that part of the military manual passed down from her ancestors was missing. The ancestral hall had been burned clean, and the rest could only be found in Shen Mansion for clues.
If outsiders find out that Shen's military art has not been lost, they may be in trouble.
...
Shen Qingwan always felt uneasy in the house. Ever since Shen He couldn't kill the old woman without waiting for her last time, she always felt that Shen Zhiyi would definitely cause trouble for the Shen family, and she wouldn't be able to escape at that time.
They didn't dare to act rashly in the mansion, and they didn't dare to act rashly without Shen Hong's order.
That day when I went to Shen Zhiyi's house, I personally reminded her that with her current temperament, she would definitely find trouble with them. What's more, now that the second room of the Shen family has been divided into clans, Shen Hong will not let this opportunity go... .
It is impossible for Shen Zhiyi to do nothing at the wedding. If this is the case, Shen Qinghe's pregnancy will not be exposed in public.
"Zhuoyun, has the boy you sent to follow your father come back?"
She was worried that something big would happen today and always felt uneasy. Hua Yinzi arranged for a servant to stay with her father. If there was any accident in Prince Hengyuan's palace, he would come back immediately to report it.
But I have been out for so long and there is no news at all. Maybe I am overthinking it.
Shen Qingwan just received an anonymous letter a few days ago. There was only one word in the letter, "Go."
Walk? Where can she go? Not to mention that the housekeeper Shen Hong has become more strict with the house. The new concubine who has been brought into the house is also very harsh on herself and has come to trouble her several times.
Shen Yan found her yesterday and directly revealed her affair with Shen Hezhi. Shen Yan thought that she was completely devoted to Shen Hezhi, but never thought that she was just using Shen Hezhi to escape from the Shen family. She was trapped here day and night, and even the servants Not as good as.
Shen Qingwan begged him not to tell outsiders about this matter, but Shen Yan actually dared to threaten him with this matter and treat her as a plaything!
Forced with no way out, Shen Qingwan had to deal with it first, and then breathed a sigh of relief after sending Shen Yan away.
"Zhuoyun, is there still something to eat in the kitchen?"
They had eaten one meal at a time, and there was no trace of their girlish demeanor. The last time they filled their bellies, it was thanks to Shen Zhiyi. Zhiyun and Huawan were the girls next to Mrs. Luo, and they had nothing to do with her before. Coming and going, but somehow, the steamed buns and salty porridge always keep some good things for themselves intentionally or unintentionally.
One night, a scream came from her father's room. Shen Qingwan found out the next day that her father had raped the maid next to Luo Shi. The maid could not bear the humiliation and committed suicide.
Shen Qingwan didn't know how to comfort Zhiyun. They were so hungry that they couldn't sleep and sneaked into the kitchen in the middle of the night. They could still hear Zhiyun's choking sounds. She was similar in age to Hua Wan, and no one knew whether she would be next.
Shen Qingwan handed her the last bun she found, and kept wiping her tears with her sleeves. The tears were like broken pearls, and she couldn't even cry out for fear of disturbing the people in the house.
"Did you put that letter of mine?" Shen Qingwan probed.
Zhiyun originally thought she knew something, but now it seems she knows nothing, "Miss Shen, thank you for praying for her and asking me to pay more attention to you on weekdays."
Although Zhiyun is a servant, sometimes it is much easier for a servant to talk to a servant than to give orders to an unfavored master.
If you were the master, he would step on you if you fell into the quagmire, but you are a servant like him, and most people would not mind giving you a hand, not to mention that they are following the arrogant and domineering Luo family, and they are just pretending to be powerful.
They all act based on the master's face, and the servants are also divided into three levels.
Zhiyun Ninja chuckled with tears in his eyes, "I don't know what Miss Shen wants to do, but she asked me to send you a message."
Shen Qingwan guessed that what Shen Zhiyi was going to do next would definitely involve herself, no, it would involve the entire Shen family.
"I, I can help Sister Shen."
If Shen Zhiyi can really bring down Shen Hong, then her life will be worth it. No, it's not worth it. She wants Shen Hong to die but also to live well.
Zhiyun stood up and patted the dust on his body, pointing to the hot food under the steamer, which was just enough for her and Zhuoyun to have a full meal, "No, Miss Shen just needs to remember that you and I have never seen each other before today."
Not to mention that Shen Zhiyi wanted to deal with Shen Hong, the Minister of Household Affairs. Given the blood relationship between Shen Hong and her, she might not be able to escape innocently after Shen Hong's downfall.
You have to shed your skin even if you don't die.
"Zhuoyun, bring the scrap manuscripts from father's room."
If Shen Zhiyi really did something, he could advance, retreat or defend with his father's scrap manuscript. He never let people stay in Shen Hong's study for a long time. There were only a few servants cleaning it. The eldest lady had several arguments with her father in the study and was kicked out.
The scrap manuscripts he collected these days were nothing more than poetry and music.
"Is this? A letter from Shuozhou?"
Shen Qingwan didn't know much about literacy, so when the eldest lady was teaching Shen He, he could only hide outside the window and eavesdrop. He thought that the eldest lady didn't know, but later he realized that the eldest lady never drove him away and tacitly allowed her to be there.
If Shen Hong hadn't been unhappy with this daughter in his family...
If she could read it out, she would definitely know what it meant, but now when writing it on paper, she could only barely make out the words "Zhang's daughter", "Shuozhou", "investigation," and other words. Piecing together, she felt that this was an important clue.
This is the only thing she can deliver now. She deliberately waits until everyone is asleep in the middle of the night before crawling out of the dog hole.
Fortunately, Shen Qingwan met Governor Jiang's person on the way. Shen Qingwan didn't remember his name, but he just felt familiar.
Xianqing was about to go back to ask for orders. He saw the Shen girl in a panic on the way. He guessed that she must have something important to tell Shen Zhiyi, so he showed up to meet her.
Who knew that the moment she jumped from the eaves, Shen Qingwan was frightened to death and almost fainted.
Xian Qing felt that the next step was to strangle this girl. It was not until he saw the letter in Shen Qingwan's hand that he understood the importance of the matter.
Just when Xianqing took the letter and was about to leave, Shen Qingwan held his hand tightly and refused to let go. Xianqing thought she had something else to do.
"I would also like to ask you to put in a good word for me in front of my sister and the governor. If anything happens to the Shen family, remember...remember to save me."
Xian Qing thought it was something, and he readily agreed upon hearing this.
Shen Qingwan was betting on who could beat Governor Jiang or Shen Hong. She was a little hesitant at first, but when she saw Shen Hong and Luo Shi fell on Sister Shen and Governor Jiang, she knew that Shen Zhiyi People are not simple.
Withdrawing her thoughts, Shen Qingwan was always feeling uneasy today, fearing that King Hengyuan's marriage would end in a farce.
