The legitimate daughter is reborn and the fake Bai Lian is completely panicked

Lin waved her sleeves, pretended to wipe away her tears, stood up from the ground, and glanced at Shen Mi viciously.

"Mother, mother, please save me, I don't want to be beaten, mother!" At this moment, Shen Feng still wanted to grab Lin's last straw.

Lin deliberately said, "My Lord, please spare Feng'er."

Pingyang Hou remained calm and said, "Come here, beat him hard!"

Immediately afterwards, the sound of sticks accompanied by Shen Feng's screams resounded throughout the front hall.

Shen Mi didn't feel a bit of pity when she saw her brother being beaten. Instead, she felt that it was right.

The atmosphere in the front hall was depressing and the maids and servants didn't dare to say a word.

It was drizzling in the yard, but it couldn't cover up Shen Feng's screams.

After a long time, the sound of sticks stopped. Shen Feng, lying on the bench, was dying, his flesh and blood blurred and he could not move.

He raised his head and looked at Shen Mi with difficulty, gnashing his teeth and saying, "Shen Mi, you wait."

"Feng'er..." Lin looked distressed and rushed over crying.

"Feng'er, it's all mother's fault..."

Pingyang Hou glanced at him impatiently and said angrily, "Drag the young master back to his room. He is not allowed to come out without my order."

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

Several guards walked over, helped Shen Feng up from the bench, and walked into the yard.

Shen Feng's back was blurred from the beating, and blood dripped from his back, all over the yard.

Shen Mi lifted her skirt and walked cautiously in front of Marquis Pingyang and glanced at Lin.

"Father, where is the money my brother was defrauded of?"

"Those are my sister and I's future dowries."

"You can't just give it to a girl in a brothel like this. You have to get it back."

Pingyang Hou still looked unhappy. He looked at his daughter and sighed, "Don't worry, I will get it back if I can."

"But the reason is that your brother gave it to someone else. Even if you file a complaint with the government, you won't be able to win the case."

"If this gets out, the entire Yanjing City will laugh at our Shen family."

"Which young lady in the boudoir will dare to marry your brother in the future?"

"Let me think about this matter carefully. You should go and have a rest first."

Shen Mi felt relieved when he heard this.

The intention to ask his father to find a way to get the dowry was false, but the intention to make Lin unable to sit still was real.

Of course it is impossible to take back something that has been given away by force. Moreover, they are the Marquis of Pingyang's Mansion. If they bring people to force Li Niang to return the money, they will be laughed at.

Shen Mi took a deep breath. Shen Feng was badly beaten and couldn't get out of bed for ten days or half a month. During this period, she could act according to her plan.

At first, she wanted to drive Shen Feng out of the house for a short period of time so that he could see Li Niang clearly, but now it seems that there is no need for this.

When Shen Mi returned to Lanyue Garden, it was already dark.

The candlelight in the room flickered slightly, and Yun Lan pushed the door open.

"Miss."

Shen Mi handed some silver and money to Yun Lan.

"In the next two days, go to the best clothing store in Yanjing City and pick out some expensive clothes for Ye Shiqing."

"The clothes can't be too flashy, they should be low-key yet elegant and noble, and people can tell at a glance that he is of an extraordinary status."

"As for the rest, I will arrange it for you."

Yun Lan nodded and put away the money in her hand. "Miss, what about Lin's?"

Shen Mi pursed her lips and smiled, "Let's find someone to keep an eye on Lin's movements tonight. I think she's getting restless."

"Let's see which maid is communicating with Li Niang privately. If we can get evidence from it, it would be great. For such a life-threatening matter, I think Li Niang is also a smart person and will keep some things to herself."

Shen Mi frowned slightly: "However, Li Niang and Lin's collusion may not be that simple."

"Li Niang is the top prostitute in the brothel. She has no shortage of money. Why would she try every possible means to cheat people out of money? She must have something that Lin has taken control of."

"Tomorrow, you should also take the money to Bai Xiao Tang and find out about Li Niang's background. You should also know exactly what everyone in her family is doing."

"Yes, Miss, I'll go down first then."

Shen Mi nodded slightly: "Well, go ahead."

The dim candlelight cast her shadow on the wall. She slowly opened her medicine box, looked at it for a moment, and then closed it again.

Now, if you want to overthrow the prince, you have to break his left and right arms first.

Marquis Yongchang, Marquis Ningyuan, and Marquis Pingyang are all members of the prince's faction.

Pingyang Marquis Mansion, perhaps it was because of Lin that my father was willing to work for the prince.

It seems that the breakthrough point of Pingyang Marquis Mansion is the Lin family.

Moreover, Shen Mi remembered that the prince had a counselor in his previous life, who was this year's top scholar.

Shen Mi put away the medicine box and was about to put out the candle when she heard a gentle female voice outside.

"Mi'er."

She propped herself up from the bed and went to open the door, and what came into her sight was Shen Li and the little girl beside her.

Shen Mi remembered that girl. She was young and smart. She was sent to her yard by Shen Li in the previous life. She was also a loyal protector of her master.

Shen Li smiled and said, "Mi'er, Yun Lan is the only one in your yard, I'm afraid you can't take good care of her."

"Qinghe is a smart girl. She will be an extra help in your yard."

Qinghe walked forward and bowed to Shen Mi.

"Second Miss, if you have anything to do in the future, just tell me."

Shen Mi's eyes swept over Qinghe. The little girl was pretty, with watery eyes, and was a smart girl.

In the previous life, Qinghe went to the Eastern Palace with her and protected her children countless times in the Eastern Palace.

However, he eventually died in the Eastern Palace.

Speaking of which, Shen Mi felt a little sad when she saw Qinghe now.

She smiled and said, "Okay, from now on you will be a member of my Lanyue Courtyard."

"Sister, I like her very much."

"From now on, Qinghe will be a member of my Lanyue Courtyard."

Shen Li nodded and sighed, "Don't mind what Feng'er said. One day, he will know that you are doing this for his own good."

Shen Mi curled her lips, "I'm not angry with him. My brother is being deceived and doesn't know the truth at all."

Shen Li said: "That's good. It's getting late now. Sister should go back."

After Shen Li left, Shen Mi took her maid Qinghe to other rooms in Lanyue Courtyard.

After arranging a place for her to stay, he returned to his room alone.

The candle in the room was lit again. When Shen Mi lifted her wrist and was about to take the thing off it, she caught a glimpse of the cinnabar where the toad's blood was and saw that it had fallen off.

She suddenly thought of what she had promised Murong Che at Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, which she had completely forgotten.

Picking up the cinnabar pen again, Shen Mi put a red dot on his wrist again.

She put down the pen, blew out the candle, and tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

Now, her second brother Shen Yu is gambling in some unknown gambling house and has not returned yet.

I’m afraid it will fall into Murong Che’s hands.

The largest underground gambling house in Yanjing is Murong Che's business. In the past few days, he has completely forgotten what he promised him, for fear that Murong Che will make trouble.

Thinking of this, Shen Mi got up from the bed and lit the candle.

She opened the medicine box, took out a few medicines and went out to instruct Qinghe.

"Tomorrow, boil the medicine according to this prescription and I will send it to Dad."

"Yes, ma'am."
