When Xie Yujin opened the door of the inn, her clothes were slightly loosened.

Shen Chengxiao, who was standing outside the door, glanced inside the room and saw Xie Yujin's clothes were open, revealing a wheat-colored chest. Shen Chengxiao narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "Master Xie, have you rested so early?"

"I was about to lie down." Xie Yujin tied the belt around her waist again in front of Shen Chengxiao, closed her slightly open skirt, and also looked at the situation outside the door.

Shen Chengxiao and the prefect's people blocked the door of his inn, which seemed to be well prepared.

Thinking of the woman in the house, Xie Yujin felt a little complicated.

Shen Wan is like a person surrounded by copper and iron walls, making it difficult for people to see through.

There is only one possibility for Shen Wan to be cruel to his relatives...

She is not Shen Zhengyi's daughter!

If so, Shen Wan is no longer a threat to him.

"Then we need to temporarily disturb Governor Xie. In order to ensure that our trip can successfully complete the emperor's decree, every inn room in Linshui Pavilion must be searched to avoid assassins sneaking in and damaging the imperial city. Everyone in the department, please thank the governor, you won’t mind if you let the prefect’s people enter your house and search it.” Shen Chengxiao’s tone was strong and domineering, and he did not allow Xie Yujin to refuse at all.

He is as suspicious as Shen Zhengyi. Linshui Pavilion is now occupied by people from the Imperial City Division. Xie Yujin's actions in Huaizhou Mansion are all under Shen Chengxiao's control. He does not allow any surprises.

Xie Yujin took her hand away from the doorknob and took a few steps back.

Shen Chengxiao waved his hand.

Magistrate Xu immediately asked the police behind him to enter the room to search.

Xie Yujin walked to the bed and looked at the still and moving curtains.

The inn room he stayed in had a study room, a bathtub, and a large cupboard. At first glance, the room was quite neat, but there were a lot of cupboards.

The detectives searched them one by one and said they found nothing suspicious.

However, Shen Chengxiao suddenly turned around and looked at the bed behind Xie Yujin and said, "There is still one place that has not been searched."

A flash of coldness flashed across Xie Yujin's eyes: "Mr. Shen, could it be that he suspects that I am secretly hiding an assassin?"

"That's not true. It's just for Governor Xie's personal safety that we haven't checked under the bed yet." After speaking for a while, Shen Chengxiao walked up to Xie Yujin and reached out to lift the bed curtain, but Xie Yujin grabbed his wrist and stopped him. .

"What if I don't allow it?" Xie Yujin said coldly, her voice very strong, and she would not allow Shen Chengxiao to infringe on her territory again.

Shen Chengxiao chuckled, took his hand away from Xie Yujin's, and stepped back a step: "I just took a look. Since Governor Xie thinks there is no problem, then forget it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Chengxiao actually turned around and walked out a few steps, but when he was approaching the door, he quickly turned around again, using his internal energy as palm wind to lift the bed curtains from the air.

Everyone looked in the direction of the bed and saw a woman with her back to everyone.

There was only a red bellyband hanging on her body, and her long hair covered her white back, exposing her soft shoulders.

She held her clothes tightly with both hands, tightly covering the scenery in front of her. It seemed that because of Shen Chengxiao's actions, the woman screamed in fright.

Xie Yujin's movements were also very fast. After the woman inside screamed in shame, she closed the bed curtains again and said with a stern face: "Get out!"

Shen Chengxiao looked away.

Even if the assassin was not caught, Xie Yujin's behavior still angered him: "Xie Xiaogong, you went from Shangjing to Huaizhou to recruit prostitutes."

"You can take care of my private affairs?" Xie Yujin turned completely cold and retorted to Shen Chengxiao angrily: "Or do I have to protect my sister like a jade?"

Shen Chengxiao: "..."

"Are you still a chick now?"

Shen Chengxiao's eyelids twitched a few times. How could it be possible? Jing Miaoyi had arranged a marriage for him when he was fourteen years old.

He just thinks the prostitutes outside are dirty.

Although Shen Wan was not his biological sister, in his eyes, a man like Xie Yujin was not worthy of her.

"Despicable!" Shen Chengxiao uttered two words viciously, then turned and left the inn room.

When Magistrate Xu discovered the woman on the bed, he left the room with the policemen first. At this moment, all the officers and soldiers in the room left. Xie Yujin closed the door, locked the door bolt, and returned to the bed, but there was no Lift the bed curtains.

He said to the people inside through the curtain: "Miss Shen, my whole life's reputation has been ruined by you."

The curtain was opened by a very thin and white hand. She was fully dressed, and the clothes on her body were no longer the same.

She is currently wearing a light cyan dress, with a string of purple jade hanging around her waist. Three thousand green silk threads are hanging down, lazily spread on her shoulders or chest. She is as beautiful as mutton fat and as charming as boneless.

"Shen Chengxiao is suspicious by nature, and he won't leave any corner untouched. I also made this move out of desperation. I'm sorry for causing you trouble. I'll go out and clarify things for you later."

"How are you going to clarify?"

Shen Wan took out a hair tie from her wrist, rolled her long hair into a ball, and tied it back: "I haven't figured out how to clarify it yet, so just think I owe you a favor."

"Why do you owe me a favor?"

"I have damaged Young Master Xie's reputation."

Xie Yujin smiled lowly: "You traveled thousands of miles to send me information. It should be me who owes you a favor, not you who owe me a favor. What I owe you is a ship's life. How should I repay you?"

Shen Wan made a move, and all the hair that had just been tied up fell apart.

She raised her head slightly, and a few strands of broken hair stuck to the sides of her face, making her peach-pink face small and delicate.

She deserves to be the most noble daughter in the capital, and she also deserves the title of the most beautiful woman in the capital.

How could the prince be willing to throw away such a beauty and choose fish eyes instead.

Without waiting for Shen Wan to respond, Xie Yujin turned around and walked to the desk, took out a hairpin from the drawer, returned to her side, and handed the plum blossom hairpin to her: "If you don't dislike it, just use it."

When Shen Wan saw the plum blossom hairpin, she remembered the plum blossom hairpin that her mother-in-law often wore on her temples in her previous life.

Naturally, she would not think that this was a gift specially chosen for her by Xie Yujin.

The plum blossom hairpin was bought by him as a gift to Zhou, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo.

"This hairpin..."

"I think it looks good, so I bought it for my mother. There are many in the market. I'll buy one for my mother later. I'll give this one to you."

"Then I'm not welcome." Shen Wan reached out and took away the plum blossom hairpin in his hand, and pinned the scattered hair at the back of his head.

The hairstyle is a bit sloppy, but the effect is good and the hair is neat.

Shen Wan got off the bed, braided one side of her long hair, and said softly, "You owe me nothing."

I owe you, I owe you the life of the entire town.

"Thank you for the hairpin. It's time for me to go." Shen Wan walked to the door and was about to open it. She turned back and used the bronze mirror in the corner to disguise her face in front of Xie Yujin. It became another face.

Xie Yujin was amazed by her disguise skills. Shen Wan, what kind of woman is she?

She studied medicine abroad for six years, and something happened that made her hate the Shen family so much.

The Shen family must be hiding a secret from everyone, and this secret is related to Shen Wan.

"Master, someone is following you." Shen Wan walked out of Linshui Pavilion Inn openly and got on Shi Feng's carriage.

Shen Wan sat calmly in the carriage and raised her hand to gently fiddle with the plum blossom hairpin on her temples: "Are there two groups of people?"

"Yes, two groups of people."

"It's okay, let them follow."

The carriage headed west to Huaizhou Fucheng.

That's where the Gu family currently lives.

Shifeng discovered that of the two groups just now, only one person was left following silently in the dark.

He looked back at the people in the carriage: "There is only one person left, I will get rid of him."

"No need." Shen Wan said, "Just keep moving forward, no need to stop."

The person following her was Xie Yujin.

The other group of people from before were Shen Chengxiao's people.

Later, he didn't follow up, but was dealt with by Xie Yujin.

Now Xie Yujin is following secretly all the way, probably out of curiosity and wanting to know why the eldest daughter of the Shen family turned against her father and brother.

Then she would give him an answer.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped at Gu's house.

She spent all the savings given to her by the Shen family to buy this house for the Gu family six years ago.

The door of the Gu family was not closed today. The steward of the Gu family who was guarding the door saw Shen Yuan getting out of the carriage and ran into the house excitedly: "Master, madam, our lady has returned home."

A couple and their eldest son walked out of the courtyard quickly to welcome Shen Wan's arrival.

Those two couples were Shen Wan's biological parents, Gu Pingzhang and Yu.

Fifteen years ago, the two of them were forcibly given dumb medicine by Manager Wang.

Shen Wan once wanted to help them treat them, but later discovered that although the residual poison of the mute medicine on the two of them was cured, it was difficult to resolve the knot in their hearts. The two of them are still unable to speak...
