Shen Guiyi lowered his eyes and thought for a moment.

She chuckled and waved to Xiaoliu and the others, indicating that they should go down first.

Lin Churan also gave Fuan a look, asking her to leave with him.

After the room was quiet, Shen Guiyi looked at Lin Churan and said calmly, "Madam Qiao, there is no need to say anything more. Whether you are innocent or not has nothing to do with me, and you don't have to talk to me about sisterhood. I don't even recognize Lord Lin. Do you think I will still recognize you?"

Hearing the sound, Qiao Xinlian and Lin Churan were filled with endless despair.

The mother and daughter were filled with desolation and bitterness, and the moisture in the corners of their eyes could no longer be suppressed at this moment.

There was even a hint of ruthlessness and hatred in Lin Churan's eyes.

She seemed to be gritting her teeth and considering doing something that would lead to her death. Of course, not to Shen Guidi, but to the man who was about to become her husband.

Shen Guidi was silent.

She glanced at the mother and daughter slowly, and added calmly: "You don't have to be so desperate. If Miss Lin doesn't want to marry into the Zhao family, there are many ways to do it. It depends on how far you can go."

Lin Churan was stunned for a moment, then realized belatedly what Shen Guidi meant.

She exchanged a glance with her aunt.

The joy on her face was about to show, and then she heard Shen Guidi continue: "You don't have to rush to be happy, it's not too late to be happy after listening to what I have to say first."

Lin Churan hurriedly suppressed her joy, and looked at Shen Guidi with burning eyes.

Shen Guidi: “…”

“Indeed, this princess has many ways to prevent you from marrying into the Zhao family, or to prevent you from suffering in the Zhao family, but behind the Zhao family stands the Qi family, and behind the Qi family stands the favored empress in the palace.

If there is no reason, who would want to provoke such a group of people?

You think so? "

When Lin Churan heard this, she didn't react for a moment, but Qiao Xinlian was smart enough to immediately understand what Shen Guidi meant.

Qiao Xinlian's heart sank slightly. Her eyes gently drifted from the box on the table to Shen Guidi. There was an inexplicable blankness on her face: "Does the princess mean that we should take out something more valuable in exchange?"

Is there anything more valuable than that jade pendant on the mother and daughter?

Isn't it that jade pendant that Princess Yan wants?

But, what else do they have that is worthy of Princess Yan asking for?

Shen Guidi smiled faintly and nodded.

Lin Churan and Qiao Xinlian both looked at her blankly. After a moment, Lin Churan asked tentatively, "Princess, the most valuable thing on us is the jade pendant. What else do you want?"

"I want the jade pendant. But I also want Aunt Qiao and Miss Lin to do something for me."

"what's up?"

"In order to embezzle the Shen family, Qi conspired with Lin Huaian, who wanted to curry favor with them, to kill the Shen family. A huge number of people were involved. He has a list and an account book in his hand. This princess has been looking for it for a long time, but there is no news. Please help Aunt Qiao to find it."

In fact, this was the reason why she followed him back home obediently.

During this year, she tried every possible way to look for it in various places in the mansion, but couldn't find it. She even suspected that the thing was not in the Lin family, but was hidden somewhere else by Lin Huaian.

She asked her people to investigate secretly for a long time, but there was still no news.

However, what the mother and daughter said after they came gave her some ideas. She guessed that this childhood sweetheart who had been very close to Lin Huaian might know something.

She even suspected that Lin Huaian hid the things in Old Madam Lin's coffin.

Otherwise, why would Lin Huaian put the jade pendant with special meaning that he wanted so much directly into the old lady's coffin?

Is this the only jade pendant he put there?

Shen Guidi couldn't help but think more about it.

But these things need to be verified later. Now, with these two people still in front of her, she can only suppress her doubts and test them slowly.

Qiao Xinlian was startled when she heard the voice.

She stared blankly at Shen Guidi, who had an expressionless and cold face. Lin Churan also looked at Shen Guidi in disbelief.

Searching for a long time?

Could it be that she returned to the Shen family just to find that thing?

Not to mention anything else, if there really is such a thing and it falls into Shen Guidi's hands, can she still let the Lin family go?

Qiao Xinlian's eyes trembled slightly, and she looked at Shen Guidi and asked in a trembling voice: "Sure, do you want to find it?"

"……Um."

Qiao Xinlian tried to ask: "If there really is such a thing, what will the princess do after finding it?"

Shen Guidi looked at her indifferently and said coldly: "Of course, do whatever you have to do."

Qiao Xinlian gritted her teeth and said nothing.

When she thought that the thing would put the entire Lin family to death, she hesitated. She lowered her eyes, not knowing whether to agree or not.

Lin Churan certainly understood Qiao Xinlian's concerns.

She lowered her eyes in despair.

This was a dilemma. If her aunt agreed, she would be betraying her father and pushing her father and Lin to death. If she refused, she would have to sacrifice her entire life.

Shen Guidi seemed to understand the hesitation of the mother and daughter.

She smiled faintly and urged: "Aunt Qiao, it's your turn to choose."

"I……"

Shen Guidi kindly comforted him, "Actually, you don't have to worry about it. Whether you help or not, I will find out sooner or later. I will definitely take action against the Lin family.

Lin Huaian, he must pay the price for what happened back then.

It doesn't matter if they can't find the information. I will slowly, little by little, let them speak it out themselves.

This princess will definitely avenge the Shen family, it’s just a matter of time.”

"But, but he is your father!"

"You are wrong, my surname is Shen, and according to the family tree, my father's surname is also Shen.

Aunt Qiao can take her time to think about it.

However, the Zhao and Lin families will sign a marriage alliance tomorrow, and this princess cannot stop it. Aunt Qiao should know what the Zhao family is like. Look at your beloved daughter a few more times. Who knows, this may be the last time you see her?"

Shen Guidi looked indifferently at the trembling mother and daughter sitting below.

They recalled what Shen Guidi had just said and couldn't help but shudder.

But they are also afraid.

They were afraid that the Lin family would be destroyed, and they were also afraid that Shen Guidi’s plan would not be accomplished. By then, they would be kicked out of the Lin family.

"But if we betray our husband, our lives will not be good either."

"From what Aunt Qiao said, she would rather let her only daughter marry into the Zhao family and die, and then, after some time, you will follow Lord Lin with dignity and righteousness?"

Qiao Xinlian shuddered suddenly and pursed her lips: "Are you so sure that you can overthrow your husband? Don't forget that behind him stands the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and even the Empress in the palace."
