Murong Che moved his lips away, his expression somewhat serious.

Seeing the determination in Shen Mi's eyes, he couldn't bear to let a little girl like her act cautiously.

His voice was deep and magnetic.

"If you want to kill someone, you can tell me and I will kill him for you."

"Little girl, it's better to stay away from bloody things."

Shen Mi's face was calm. She stood beside him and smelled the light sandalwood scent on him.

She knew that she had to avenge herself and didn't want Murong Che to interfere.

I also didn't want him to get involved, and end up with a bad reputation as a brother-killer, and be cursed by future generations.

Murong Che has always loved breaking the rules and doesn't care about his reputation.

But she didn't want him to be left with an indelible mark in the future.

She said calmly, "Fourth Master, I can do it myself."

"If the Fourth Master trusts me, just teach me how to play pot."

Murong Che sighed, "Okay, you do it yourself."

"But you are my fiancée now, and I don't want to see you take risks."

"Killing people and getting blood on them is something men do."

"You, a woman, shouldn't do this."

"You are a lady from the boudoir, and you should have been raised in a pampered manner in the mansion."

"However, since you want to do it yourself, I respect your choice."

Shen Mi nodded, took out a red string from her arms and tied it around Murong Che's wrist.

The man's dark eyes looked at her quietly in the night.

Shen Mi looked at the red string in Murong Che's hand and whispered, "In our previous life, we couldn't be together."

"In this life, using this red thread can be considered as binding this marriage."

Murong Che lowered his eyes to look at the red line on his wrist, then reached out to pull the person closer.

"Previous life?"

Shen Mi shook her head, raised her eyes and looked at Murong Che with a smile on her face.

"Fourth Master, it's nothing."

Seeing that Shen Mi didn't say anything, Murong Che could roughly guess that it was related to her dream.

He scanned the girl's face quietly and leaned closer to her.

"Shen Mi, whoever is meant to be will eventually return to whomever he is meant to be."

……

It was already late when Murong Che sent Shen Mi back to the Shen family.

After the prince knew that there was a woman beside Murong Che, he searched for the two of them in Yipin Building for a long time, but in the end he couldn't find them.

In the second half of the night, there were bursts of thunder.

Shen Mi was sleeping very quietly in Lan Yue Courtyard. Bai Ze came in through the window as usual and stayed by her side.

The next day, at daybreak, Shen Mi slowly opened her eyes.

She knew that there was still a lot to do.

As the Qionghua Banquet was getting closer, she had to carry out her plan step by step.

Qinghe brought in water as usual.

Shen Mi propped herself up, looked at Qinghe and Yunlan, and opened the window of the house.

Yun Lan walked up to Shen Mi and picked out a light purple dress for her. "Miss, you said yesterday that you were going to Jing'an Hall. How about this dress?"

Shen Mi narrowed her eyes and looked for a moment.

"Change your clothes. Purple is still too conspicuous."

"When the time comes, you and I can stay at the inn opposite Jing'an Hall."

Yun Lan was a little confused, but she had roughly guessed Shen Mi's intention.

She nodded, "Miss, do you have any other instructions?"

Shen Mi stood up, took the handkerchief handed to her by Qinghe and washed her face.

"You'll know once you get to Jing'an Hall."

After Shen Mi finished washing up, she went to Shen Li's Qingfengyuan first.

In Qingfeng Courtyard, Shen Li leaned back in a chair, picked up a medical book, and read it quietly.

"Sister."

Seeing Shen Mi coming, she put down the book in her hand and looked at Shen Mi with a smile.

"Sister, is there any good news? Why are you so happy today?"

Shen Li shook her head and smiled: "There is nothing happy. It's just that the house is much quieter and I feel happy."

She handed the medical book on the table to Shen Mi.

"This book contains some medicinal recipes. Mi'er, take a look."

"According to the recipe above, cooking medicinal food can replenish qi and blood."

Shen Mi picked up the medical book and flipped through a few pages at random. The further he flipped, the stranger the book seemed to him.

She held the book in her hand and looked up at Shen Li.

"Sister, where did this book come from?"

Shen Li was a little surprised when she saw that Shen Mi looked strange. "This book was given to me by Nanny Gui in the mansion. What's wrong?"

"Madam Gui?" Shen Mi frowned.

"When did Nanny Gui appear in the mansion?"

Shen Li said: "Madame Gui left the Shen family a year ago. This book on medicinal diet was given to me by her."

Shen Mi took a deep breath, took the book to the candle, and planned to burn it.

As soon as he reached out his hand, Shen Li stood up and hurriedly stopped him, "Mi'er, why are you burning books for no reason? Is there something wrong with this book?"

Shen Mi pursed her lips and nodded, "This book does record medicinal food for conditioning the body."

"Unfortunately, each of these prescriptions has an extra medicine added."

"If you really follow the recipe in the book and drink the medicinal food, I'm afraid your body will become weaker and weaker."

Shen Li's face froze, and her body trembled slightly, "You...are you telling the truth?"

Shen Mi nodded, placed the medical book on the candle, and burned it into powder.

The window of the room was opened. Shen Li sat on the chair with a frown on her face, pursed her lips and murmured, "No wonder, no wonder my health is getting worse and worse."

"It's because of this medical book?"

Shen Mi frowned and looked at Shen Li in disbelief.

"Did you make the medicinal food according to this recipe and drink it?"

Shen Li quickly shook her head, "This medical book was given to me by Nanny Gui in the mansion."

"I followed the prescription and took the medicine for a year."

"No wonder, no wonder my health has been getting worse over the past year."

Shen Mi frowned, reached out to take Shen Li's hand and took her pulse.

After a moment, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your breathing is very stable now, but are you still drinking these so-called medicinal foods?"

"Besides, Mi'er doesn't even know when you drank the medicinal food."

Shen Li pursed her lips and shook her head, "I haven't drunk since my father left. I haven't drunk since then. I feel stronger than before."

"I always drink medicinal food before going to bed at night, so you don't know."

"It's just that, Sister doesn't know that all this was set up by someone else."

When Shen Li thought about it carefully, she felt a chill on her back.

In the past, Nanny Gui listened to Lin's words in private.

Could it be that Aunt Gui is from the Lin family?

Shen Mi looked at the medical book that was burned to ashes and clenched her hands slightly.

"Sister, you don't know any medical skills, but you drink the medicine randomly?"

"Even if it's a medicinal food, you can't just drink it casually."

"Others thought that you were depressed and had a heart disease because of Zhang Huaian."

"Little did they know that they had already been set up by someone with evil intentions."

"However, it's a good thing that you stopped taking the medicine early. If you had continued to drink it for another year or so, I'm afraid..."

Shen Mi's words stopped abruptly.

Shen Li sat on the chair, biting her lips and clenching her fists.

She didn't expect that her physical weakness was due to someone else's careful planning.

She whispered, "From now on, I won't trust anyone but Mi'er and my two younger brothers."
