Shen Li looked at her sister with half belief and half doubt. She seemed a little abnormal today.

However, ever since Shen Mi came back from Yishui, she has become quiet and doesn't like to get close to her.

During the years she spent in Yishui, she had escaped death countless times and must have hated the Shen family to death.

Now facing what her younger sister has gone through, she, as the eldest sister, feels a little guilty.

She picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. "Mi'er, it would be great if we could really get back mother's dowry."

"However, Feng'er has always been close to Lin and doesn't like you and me. If we are not careful, Feng'er will hate us."

"Mother passed away for no reason. As the eldest sister, I have the obligation to protect you. I don't want us siblings to become enemies."

"This matter needs to be handled with caution."

Shen Mi knew what Shen Li was thinking.

In his previous life, Shen Feng's love for the brothel girl Li Niang almost reached the point of madness.

If she doesn't handle this matter well, she might become enemies with Shen Feng.

If Lin took advantage of the situation again, the situation of her and her elder sister in the Shen family would be even more difficult.

Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "Sister, you don't need to interfere in this matter. If you really want to be a villain, let Mi'er be it."

"I believe that my brother will never confuse right and wrong, and he will always see who is good to him."

"Sister is weak and needs more rest. It's getting late today, Mi'er should go back."

Shen Li nodded: "Okay."

Shen Mi slowly stood up from the chair and glanced at the bowl of medicine on Shen Li's bedside.

Shen Li’s illness is a heart disease, and heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine.

Ever since Shen Li's marriage was robbed, her health has been getting weaker and weaker.

The maids and servants in the mansion would occasionally make sarcastic remarks to deliberately provoke her.

Shen Mi lowered her eyes, and thought of the tragic end of her elder sister in her previous life, and couldn't help feeling sad.

The King of Qi will definitely plan to make Shen Li marry him, just like he did in his previous life.

She said, "Sister, you are weak. Don't go anywhere these days. Just stay in Qingfeng Courtyard and take good care of yourself."

"It's late at night, Mi'er won't disturb my sister anymore."

Shen Li nodded, feeling relieved as she looked at her now sensible sister.

When Shen Mi returned to Lanyue Courtyard, it was already late at night.

She put some gold, silver and jewelry she had taken from Shen Li into the box.

The candle flame beside him was trembling, and Yun Lan brought in hot water with a worried look on his face.

"Miss, it's a good thing that the eldest lady rushed over today."

Shen Mi was quite calm.

"It's all over. Get up early tomorrow. I want you to go somewhere with me."

"Where?" Yun Lan was a little confused. Looking at Shen Mi at this moment, she felt that she was mysterious.

Shen Mi smiled and said, "We have to go to the slave market and buy a stunningly beautiful slave."

"Slave?" Yun Lan frowned.

Shen Mi nodded and smiled, "Please prepare a carriage at the side door in advance, and you can just go with me tomorrow."

"Yes, ma'am."

Yun Lan brought the hot water to Shen Mi's side and handed the wrung-out dry towel to Shen Mi.

"Miss, I have boiled your medicine for you. I have also poured the residue into the fire as you instructed and burned it to ashes. I will bring it to you now."

"kindness."

In less than a moment, a bowl of steaming medicine was brought over. The moment Shen Mi took the bowl of medicine, fragments of his past life appeared in his mind again.

Yu'er was covered in blood and was being held by several maids. She was crying heart-wrenchingly and shouting her name.

"Mom, it hurts."

Shen Mi's hands trembled slightly and she almost dropped the medicine on the ground.

"Miss, what are you thinking about again? What's wrong?"

Shen Mi was in a trance, coming back to her senses from the memory just now.

She bit her lip, looked at the medicine in her hand, and drank it mouthful by mouthful.

Yunlan took the medicine bowl away and cleaned it, and the candle in Shen Mi's room was extinguished.

She lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

In the previous life, my uncle Jiang Xuan was framed by the prince and charged with treason after he knew the prince’s unknown secret.

But, what secret made the prince do such a cruel thing?

……

In the private room of Mingxiangyuan, Shen Shu was lying on the bed, her watery almond eyes filled with resentment.

"Mother, you shouldn't have let her come back. Let her stay in that damn place, Yishui, forever."

"My sister is seriously ill now. If she doesn't come back, I will be the only legitimate daughter of the Shen family in Yanjing City."

"If she returns to Yanjing, it would be fine if she married a bastard in the future. If she marries a son of a noble family in Yanjing City in the future."

"Mother, how do your daughter and you compare with the deceased Jiang?"

Lin, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, suddenly grabbed her dress tightly.

Jiang and Pingyang Hou had two sons and two daughters, but she now only has one daughter.

After giving birth to Shen Shu, she tried everything but failed to get pregnant again, let alone give birth to another legitimate son.

If this is the case, the title of Pingyang Marquis will fall on Shen Feng and Shen Yu in the future, and she is unwilling to accept this.

She has indulged Shen Feng and Shen Yu for so many years just to make them useless.

Lin looked meaningfully at the dark night outside, and her tone became stiff.

"Even if she escapes tonight, she will never marry a noble man in the future."

"Ladies of the powerful families in Yanjing City, who would dare to let a calamity star who killed his grandfather and brought death to his mother into the house?"

With a smile in her eyes, she stretched out her finger and lightly poked the candlelight next to her, and the wick was extinguished.

"Besides, isn't your coming-of-age ceremony coming up soon? There will surely be many ladies, gentlemen and young ladies coming that day."

"At that time, mother will let her know that if she returns to Yanjing City, she will fall into an endless hell."

After saying this calmly, Lin reached out and covered Shen Shu with a blanket.

"But I still can't figure it out. So many maids and servants saw her go up to the attic today. How could she not be there?"
