Xiao Yun, on the other hand, secretly followed Shen Lian's carriage to Zhangjiazui.

Zhangjiazui was once the ancestral home of the aristocratic Zhang family, occupying a large area.

Twenty years ago, due to a fire, all the Zhang clan members living in Zhangjiazui were burned to death.

The court wanted to expropriate this land, but every time a court official wanted to renovate Zhangjiazui, something strange would happen.

As time passed, rumors spread about Zhangjiazui being haunted. As time went by, no one dared to live in Zhangjiazui. It became a shelter for beggars from the capital, and ordinary people did not dare to come here.

Shen Lian got down from the carriage and ordered the guards behind her to find an old beggar with a broken hand from the Zhang family.

After a while, the guard appeared in front of Shen Lian with the old beggar Shen Lian wanted.

Shen Lian held her nose in disgust and stepped back: "Why do you stink so much?"

The old beggar scratched his hair, scratched his body again, and said with a smile: "My lord, it's you. I have something to do this time."

Shen Lian took out a bag of broken silver from her clothes and threw it into the old beggar's broken bowl.

The old beggar opened the bag and saw the broken silver inside. His eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly stuffed the silver into his crotch pocket.

When Shen Lian saw the old beggar's vulgar actions, she frowned and took a step back. She took out her handkerchief and covered her nose and said, "You accepted my money, but I have to do something for you."

"Spend money to eliminate disasters. Money can make all the difference. Your money is enough to buy a life. Tell me, what do you want me to do?" People who live in Zhangjiazui are not all beggars. Son, and those who used to be killers but were given up by their masters because of their disabilities.

Just like the old beggar in front of me, he was a first-rate killer when he was young.

He lost his hand during a mission and was abandoned by his master, so he lived in Zhangjiazui and started doing business in the underworld.

Shen Lian also found out about this person through Zhong Anguo.

As long as you give him enough money, he will do anything.

"I won't let you kill people." Shen Lian narrowed her eyes, remembering the scene of Gu Mingyu and King Jin going in and out together, and she felt jealous and twisted in her heart: "Go and find some for me who are ugly, smelly, and old, and those things are in high demand. Big beggar.”

"That thing?" The old beggar suddenly understood what Shen Lian said and showed a lewd smile: "I know, things like this are the best to handle."

He received a big order a few days ago and found a group of brothers.

Unexpectedly, another windfall came to me, which brought me great blessings.

He stared at Shen Lian's bulging breasts.

Shen Lian immediately covered her chest and said angrily: "What are you looking at? If you look at me again, I will dig out your eyes."

"It's the untouchables who have offended. The untouchables will definitely handle what the nobles say. We are always waiting for news from the nobles."

"Hmph, this lady is something someone like you dares to think about, and I don't even know what you are." Shen Lian felt that being looked at by the old beggar for a second time made her whole body hairy and disgusting.

She turned around and got on the carriage and left Zhangjiazui in a hurry.

Xiao Yun followed Shen Lian all the way to Shen's Mansion. When he was about to sneak into Shen's Mansion, he found that the Shen family had recently placed many sentries. The Shen family's guards were keeping a close eye on him and he couldn't get in, so he simply returned to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion first.

As for Shen Lian, after returning to Shen Mansion, she did not go back to her Zuilian Residence, but went to Linlang Pavilion where Shen Wan lived before.

She opened all the drawers in the room and rummaged through them, but could not find anything written by Shen Yuan.

At this time, Shen Chengxiao's voice came from behind: "What are you looking for?"

"Ah..." Shen Lian felt guilty. When she heard the voice behind her, she was startled. She turned to look at Shen Chengxiao who was standing in front of the door and said, "Brother, you are going to scare me to death."

She patted her chest, her face full of displeasure.

Shen Chengxiao said: "What are you looking for when you go to Shen Wan's house?"

"I..." Shen Lian hesitated.

Shen Chengxiao knew everything about what she did. The guards who followed her out told her, and he acquiesced in her behavior.

He even encouraged Shen Lian: "Lian'er, I am your eldest brother. If you need my help, just ask, eldest brother will definitely help you."

"I want to find the words written by my sister."

Shen Chengxiao shook his head and said, "When Shen Wan got married, she took away all her copybooks and words she wrote. It's impossible for you to find her things in her room."

Shen Lian was slightly disappointed.

She planned to copy an invitation with Shen Wan's handwriting, use Shen Wan's name to lure Gu Mingyu out of the Gu family, and then trick Gu Mingyu into going to Yumanxiang for dinner, and then destroy Gu Mingyu's innocence.

"but……"

Shen Wan looked up at Shen Chengxiao: "But what?"

"Shen Wan's previous calligraphy was taught to her by your second brother." Shen Chengxiao had already prepared it for Shen Lian. He handed the copybook copied by Shen Chengfeng to Shen Lian: "This calligraphy is your eldest sister's font. You Take it and learn it carefully, not everyone can learn your eldest sister's calligraphy."

He personally delivered the copybook to Shen Lian.

After Shen Lian took the copybook, she opened it in person.

They saw an invitation to Gu Mingyu tucked under the copybook, and they had already prepared the post for her.

Shen Lian was stunned, holding the invitation and asked: "Brother, you..."

"Don't you want to make friends with Miss Gu Er? However, Miss Gu Er has a disagreement with you because of the Ziwei Pavilion matter, so she will definitely not accept your invitation. If she takes advantage of your eldest sister's identity, she will definitely come out. When you arrive Talk to her carefully, it will be good for you if you can make friends with a noble lady like Miss Gu Er." Shen Chengxiao said gently.

Shen Lian put the invitation away and said happily: "Thank you, brother."

"You're welcome, brother. You and I are brothers and sisters. There have been so many things going on in the family recently, and my father has been dismissed from his official position. You must take good care of His Highness the Crown Prince."

When it comes to Mo Junli, Shen Lian has a complicated mood.

The prince was very kind to her, but she couldn't let go of Prince Jin.

She also knew that this was bad, but she just couldn't help but miss King Jin. When she heard that King Jin was going to marry that bitch Gu Mingyu, she went crazy with jealousy.

"Brother, don't worry. His Royal Highness is very kind to me. When I went to Dali Temple to see him, in order to make me happy, he snatched the things the Queen had given Xie Wan and gave them to me. You see."

She took out the queen's reward from under her sleeve and handed it to Shen Chengxiao.

After all, Shen Chengxiao had done her a big favor just now, and she was willing to say a few more words to Shen Chengxiao.

Shen Chengxiao took the brocade box, opened it, saw the golden orchid hairpin on it, and slightly raised his eyebrows: "The fact that the prince can coax you like this means that he treats you sincerely."

He fumbled around in the brocade box with his hands and pulled out a piece of paper from the bottom of the brocade box.

"Hey, what is this?" Shen Lian asked suspiciously when she saw him taking out a note from the box.

Shen Chengxiao spread out the note in front of Shen Lian, and the content on it was displayed in their eyes.

Shen Lian read out: "...I hope you will help Xie become the crown prince in the future. Wan'er, my aunt values ​​you the most."

Shen Lian immediately smashed the brocade box in anger...
