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

In the front hall of the Shen Mansion, candlelight was burning.

Old Madam Shen sat in the main seat with a solemn expression.

Pingyang Hou sat beside her with a sullen look on his face, and on the side sat Lin and Shen Shu, whose calf was bandaged.

Shen Shu's eyes were red, and she curled up in Lin's arms, crying her eyes out.

"Father, if it weren't for Chunxiu, I would not have come back alive today."

Marquis Pingyang clenched his fists tightly, his face grim and terrifying.

"This King Rui is so arrogant. Tomorrow in the court, I will ask His Majesty to do justice for me."

Lin, who was beside her, looked unhappy. She lifted Shen Shu up from her arms and comforted her: "Shu'er, don't cry. Our Shu'er did nothing wrong today. She was just looking for her sister."

She choked up and looked at the angry Pingyang Hou Shen Yuan.

"Master, even if you attend the court tomorrow to see King Rui, it will be useless."

"King Rui is now so tolerant of him that even His Majesty has to tolerate him. What's the point of reporting him? His Majesty will blame you instead."

"If we anger the emperor, it would be even more inappropriate."

"Now that my father knows about this, he has asked me to say that the women of my Shen family should stay as far away from King Rui as possible."

"If the master had not asked His Majesty to send Prince Rui to leave the country, Prince Rui would not have been...

"That's enough. Don't mention this matter anymore." Shen Yuanshang was a little unhappy.

Old Madam Shen stared at the dark night outside the front hall with calm eyes.

"Why would you go to the inner courtyard attic of Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion for no reason? You know that Prince Rui has a grudge against our Shen family."

When Shen Shu heard Madam Shen's blaming tone, she nestled in Lin's arms and cried even louder.

“Grandma, are you blaming your granddaughter?”

"Second sister, after drinking a cup of osmanthus wine at the banquet, she said she was not feeling well. Our maid took her to rest, but she broke free from the maid and went to the Nanyuan Pavilion in Ningyuan Marquis's mansion."

She was silent for a moment and then said, "Who would have thought that not long after, the young master of the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion also went to my sister's room."

"Who knows what happened to them in there? Why is the Fourth Master in there?"

"So many maids and servants saw my sister and Master Zhang entering the room one after the other. My sister might have...already finished her secret meeting with Master Zhang and left."

"Shut up!" Seeing Shen Shu speaking so bluntly, Lin immediately stopped her.

She was not afraid of what Shen Shu would say, but if she did not protect Shen Mi in this way, Old Madam Shen and Marquis Pingyang would certainly be suspicious. Moreover, she had to maintain her image as a loving mother.

"Shu'er, don't talk about your sister like that."

Shen Shu sobbed and said, "Mother, what my daughter said is the truth. Fourth Miss Wen and several of her personal maids saw it with their own eyes."

"Sister has only been back for three months, and so many things have happened in the mansion. Brother's business has been losing money."

"Now, my daughter has suffered another disaster in her search for her... wuwu."

She cried like a pear blossom in the rain, nestled in Lin's arms, and deliberately glanced at Madam Shen's expression.

At this moment, Madam Shen looked extremely unhappy, and she was about to add fuel to the fire.

She sobbed, "If my sister hadn't returned from Yishui when she was nine years old, my grandfather wouldn't have... died an innocent and tragic death."

These words, like thunder, exploded in Madam Shen's mind.

Lin deliberately scolded Shen Shu.

"Shu'er, if you say one more word, don't blame your mother for punishing you."

That’s what she said, but now seeing Old Madam Shen so angry, she couldn’t help but be happy.

Madam Shen's expression suddenly changed and she slammed her palm on the table.

"Madame Zhang has been gone for so long, why hasn't she come back yet?"

"Well, how long has it been since this second girl came back, and she actually..."

Seeing this, Lin, who was standing by, immediately tried to smooth things over, pretending to be compassionate.

"Madam, now the young master of the Zhang family has also been killed by Prince Rui. I am afraid that others will say something bad about Mi'er."

"The maids and servants of the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion did see the Second Miss and Young Master Zhang enter the room one after the other."

"I went to Mi'er Lanyue Courtyard just now, but I didn't see her come back."

"I'm afraid that Mi'er is too young to understand. If the Zhang family investigates the death of Young Master Zhang and puts the blame on Mi'er, what should we do?"

When Shen Mi followed Nanny Zhang to the front hall, what she heard was Lin's falsely compassionate words.

On the surface, it was for her own good, but in reality, they all wanted to prove that she and Zhang Wang were having an affair.

Seeing her coming, Lin immediately stood up and greeted her with a smile, "Mi'er, you are finally back."

Shen Mi turned his body to avoid her and went to Old Madam Shen and Marquis Pingyang.

Lin's body suddenly stiffened, and she looked at Shen Mi in disbelief. A few days ago, she obeyed her stepmother's orders, but why...

"Mi'er, where have you been so late at night? It's hard for mother and sister to find you."

Shen Mi sneered: "I have already returned to the Marquis' Mansion and went to the eldest sister's yard. Where else can I go?"

She looked at the old lady and Pingyang Marquis and said calmly, "Father, grandmother, what do you want from Mi'er?"

The moment Old Madam Shen raised her eyes and saw Shen Mi, she seemed to be back to the night seven years ago when the old marquis died. She was so angry that she couldn't even breathe.

"Pah!" She stretched out her hand and slapped the chair fiercely, saying angrily, "Kneel down!"

Shen Mi's body froze, and she looked at Old Madam Shen, "Grandma, I don't know what my granddaughter did wrong, why do you have to kneel?"

Old Madam Shen said in a deep voice: "Why would a young girl go to the unused attic in the side courtyard of Ningyuan Marquis's mansion without permission? And be seen by so many maids and servants?"

"I heard from the maids and servants of Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion that Master Zhang also went to the attic and was killed by Prince Rui."

"Grandma asks you, do you know about this?"

Shen Mi took a deep breath and said coldly, "How would my granddaughter know?"

"I drank a glass of wine my mother gave me, and then I felt sick, so I returned to the mansion, not to the attic."

"Perhaps it was because the light in Ningyuan Marquis's mansion was too dim at night, and the maidservant mistook her for my granddaughter, causing my mother and sister to make a wasted trip and offend Prince Rui."

She looked at Pingyang Hou again.

"Father, you can trust your daughter."

Marquis Pingyang's face turned pale and he remained silent.

He looked at Shen Mi for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I naturally believe in my daughter, and Father Mi'er naturally believes in you."

"It's just that your whereabouts are indeed suspicious."

"Now, the son of the Zhang family has been killed by Prince Rui. I am afraid that the Zhang family will hold you responsible. It will be difficult for your father to protect you then."

Shen Mi sneered: "My daughter didn't go to the attic. Didn't my mother and sister not see her in the attic?"

"Mr. Zhang offended King Rui and was killed by him. How can this be related to my daughter?"

"I don't think the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion is as foolish as our Shen Mansion, throwing dirty water on its own people."

"Mi'er" Pingyang Hou was so angry at Shen Mi's words that his face turned purple.

Lin on the side looked at Pingyang Hou with a smile on her face, acting like a loving mother again.

"Master, what Mi'er said makes sense. Since she is not in the attic, why should we impose it on her?"

"However, the maids and servants of Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion all saw it, and Mi'er was suspected of having contact with Master Zhang."

"If you want to prove Mi'er is innocent, it won't be difficult to do."

"Ask the maid from the mansion to come over and examine Mi'er's body."

"If Mi'er is innocent, it proves that she is innocent. We in the Shen family have wronged her."
