Shen Mi pulled her dress tightly, walked around the screen and went into a closet.

Outside the door, the sound of conversation was getting closer.

Zhang Wang, the illegitimate son of the Yongchang Marquis's mansion, looked at the maid beside him with a smug look on his face.

"Please thank your young lady for me. If I marry Shen Mi, I will never forget your kindness."

"That's natural."

Shen Mi hid in the closet, listening to the conversation outside, and also recognized the identities of the two people.

In addition to Zhang Wang, the other maid was Wen Yue's personal maid in Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion.

During the Great Yan Dynasty, a total of three marquises were conferred.

Marquis Ningyuan, Marquis Pingyang, and Marquis Yongchang, the ancestors of these three marquises made military achievements when the Great Yan Dynasty was founded.

After the founding of the country, each of them was awarded a title according to his merits, and the titles continue to this day.

The three marquises each had their own army, and the one at Pingyang Marquis's was the Black Armor Army.

In the previous life, Shen Mi found out before his death that the tragic death of his mother and the death of his grandfather were all carefully planned by the Crown Prince, the current Queen, and even the Duke of Protectorate, who wanted to use the Lin family to win over his father.

As a result, she was branded as an evil woman who killed her biological mother and grandfather.

In this struggle for imperial power, the prince used all means and schemed.

At this moment, the dark room was quiet and dangerous.

The door creaked open and Zhang Wang pushed it open.

He tiptoed towards the bed and began to take off his clothes as he walked, leaving pieces of his gorgeous clothes scattered all over the floor.

However, he did not notice at all that there was a black figure sitting in the dark corner behind him.

The man in black sitting on the chair had a stern expression and bloodthirsty eyes. Next to his bony fingers was a sharp dagger.

Zhang Wang had just taken a few steps towards the bed when he noticed something strange in the room and stopped suddenly.

He turned his head slightly and looked back in the direction of the breathing sound, and saw those bloodthirsty eyes staring at him.

That dark shadow looked like a wolf in the night, ready to chew him to pieces at any time.

When he saw part of the man's outline clearly, his body trembled unconsciously, and then his legs and feet went weak and he immediately knelt down.

"Your Highness Prince Rui!"

"I don't know...King Rui..."

Before he could finish his words, a dagger suddenly cut through the silent night and slit his throat.

There was a scream and blood splattered.

Shen Mi never expected that Murong Che would kill people on the spot and without mercy.

A strong smell of blood filled the room, and Shen Mi's voice came from behind the screen.

"Fourth Master."

She slowly stood up and walked outside the screen, and saw Murong Che coldly pulling the dagger out of the corpse.

At this moment, a ray of light had already started burning beside him.

The dim candlelight cast his tall figure against the wall, and his shadow was stretched out very long.

Murong Che said in a cold voice: "Killing him will dirty my hands."

He lowered his eyebrows, casually took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and wiped his bloody hands gently and calmly.

While wiping, he raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Mi.

"Why, you're coming out before the show is even over?"

"Or do you want to run away? Are you afraid that I will kill you too?"

Shen Mi quickly shook her head, "I didn't want to run away."

How could she dare to leave before Murong Che gave the order?

Moreover, this is a scene of catching an adulterer.

She went down from the attic now. If others knew that Zhang Wang and Murong Che were here, her fame would spread throughout the entire Yanjing City.

Murong Che's face showed no emotion. After wiping the blood off his hands, he also wiped the blood off the dagger.

Shen Mi took a deep breath, pulled her skirt, and slowly approached Murong Che.

"Fourth Master, now you should believe that I was framed."

"My father did not deliberately arrange for me to come and seduce you."

"Can you please let me go back? I don't want to watch this scene."

Murong Che raised his eyes and threw the handkerchief that was still dripping with blood on his hand to the ground.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Will the king eat you?"

"If you want to go out, you can."

"But just don't regret it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent again.

Murong Che seemed to be waiting for his prey to take the bait.

There was an eerie silence in the room.

Murong Che didn't even look up at her.

I don’t know how long it took, but sounds began to come from not far away.

It seems that there are more people this time.

The man frowned and looked at her. "What? You're not hiding?"

"Or do you want everyone to know that I am your adulterer?"

Shen Mi's cheeks flushed. Without thinking much, she turned around and hid in the cabinet behind the screen again.

Murong Che then reached out and extinguished the candle in the room.

"Today is really lively."

In less than a moment, a group of people came down from the attic and vaguely saw a little light outside.

The room was surprisingly dark.

A group of men, women, young and old, as well as servants, surrounded the private room.

Shen Mi hid in the closet, feeling somewhat confused.

In her previous life, she left after getting entangled with Murong Che, and nothing happened afterwards. Why is it different in this life?

Before she could come back to her senses from her confusion, a sharp female voice came from outside the door.

"Grandmother, the third son of the Yongchang Marquis's family is so bold that he dared to break into the inner courtyard of our Wen Mansion."

"Many maids and servants in the mansion saw Second Miss Shen drunk and ran to this room to rest."

"I didn't expect that the young master of the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion would actually break in. This is the inner courtyard of our Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion."

"This lonely man and woman, I'm afraid..."
