After the two men rolled down, the carriage was shot into a sieve.

Before Shen Qingxu could rejoice that they had survived the disaster, she glanced around and saw nothing but motionless buildings and trees.

"Who?!" Shen Qingxu and Lin Shuyao looked around.

The leader of the men in black in the dark saw this and cursed in a low voice: "Damn it, it wasn't Shen Qiuchi who made them follow him for so long."

The street they were on was wide and sparsely populated. Apart from their carriage and a few passers-by looking at them from a distance, there was nothing else.

Shen Qingxu immediately stood up vigilantly, protecting Lin Shuyao and trying to find the attacker in the dark.

However, no matter how hard she looked, she could not find any clues.

"Qingxu, are we being attacked again?" Lin Shuyao's voice was trembling. She held Shen Qingxu's hand and asked in a low voice. Now the enemy was in the dark and no one knew who it was.

Shen Qingxu frowned. She felt a strong murderous intent, but the other party was hiding very well and she could not find any trace of him.

"I don't know either, but the other party is obviously targeting us. Shuyao, you go back home first, I will find out about this matter." Shen

Qingxu was calmer at this moment. The person hiding in the dark and attacking him had not made any move yet, and he didn't know what he was going to do.

Lin Shuyao was about to speak when a group of more than ten men in black descended from the sky, holding shiny black swords. They looked extremely dangerous and looked at the two of them for a moment...dazed and relieved?

The leader of the men in black in the dark clenched his fist and smashed it against the tree trunk where he was hiding.

"What a bunch of idiots! Exposing themselves like this."

Shen Qingxu looked at the men in black who suddenly appeared, then turned to look at Lin Shuyao, and Lin Shuyao also breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the group of men in black clearly.

The group of men in black came forward nervously, waved their swords casually at the two men, and then left in a hurry.

That’s right, the back figure looked hurried, as if he was afraid that someone was chasing him.

"Hmph, I'll let you go this time." He didn't forget to make any harsh remarks before leaving.

Shen Qingxu and Lin Shuyao looked at each other.

"Shuyao, you know these men in black, right?"

"Uh, Qingxu, this may be a little complicated to explain. I'll tell you another day."

After hearing this, Shen Qingxu stopped asking questions. These assassins came and went in a hurry, just like they were here to complete a simple mission, so their target was only her. Moreover, they were afraid of Lin Shuyao and feared hurting her.

Shen Qingxu looked at the direction where the man in black left, and thought about what her sister said about Lin Shuyao last time. She knew that it must be a grudge that she didn't know about.

Shen Qingxu saw Lin Shuyao's eyes flickering slightly, and she was now very sure that the man in black had come. Sigh...

"Shuyao, I'm sorry for getting you into trouble this time. I won't go to Prince Rong's Mansion for now. You go back first. I need to go to the palace for something."

Lin Shuyao also knew that the assassination by the man in black today might have let Shen Qingxu know something, so she said: "Qingxu, just do what you should do. I will always be your best friend. In this world, the only relative in the Xiao family that I recognize is my brother."

Lin Shuyao squeezed Shen Qingxu's hand and promised.

Shen Qingxu nodded, and without even having time to send Lin Shuyao back home, she hurried into the palace.

Today, these men in black chased her sister's carriage all the way and launched a surprise attack in a sparsely populated area. Their target might be her sister.

As soon as Shen Qingxu arrived at the palace, she asked the housekeeper where Shen Qiuchi had gone. She learned that Shen Qiuchi had gone to attend the third-day birthday banquet of the young princess of Prince Rong right after she left the palace. Shen Qingxu calculated the time and was afraid that Shen Qiuchi had already arrived at Prince Rong's mansion as she had encountered an assassination on the way back to the palace.

"It's bad." Shen Qingxu ran quickly towards Xiao Qi's Qianqing Palace.

"Madam Mei Qing, you. Hurry up, go find my brother-in-law." Shen Qingxu ran out of breath, and when she saw Mei Qing waiting at the door, she said to her.

"Qingxu, didn't you go to the third-day bathing banquet?"

"Brother-in-law, Shuyao and I were attacked on the road. My sister is in Prince Rong's mansion now. Go find her and bring her back!"

Shen Qingxu was worried that Shen Qiuchi might encounter an accident at the third-day bathing banquet, so the man in black must have made preparations for both scenarios.

Now that she knew the target of the assassination was wrong, she had to think of other ways. If she rashly left the palace again, she was afraid that the people in the dark would attack again. If she was kidnapped, she would become a burden to her sister and brother-in-law.

"Okay, I got it." Xiao Qi called the Shenlong Guard in the dark, gave him some instructions, and then went into the study.

Mei Qing knew very well how much Shen Qiuchi cared about his sister, so he quickly took Shen Qingxu to the side hall to rest, served her tea, and asked Shen Qingxu to wait patiently, but Shen Qingxu couldn't sit still.

Those people were obviously well prepared, and they were probably the same group as the men in black last time. In addition to wanting to capture her, they also wanted to attack her sister. I'm afraid that things in Prince Rong's mansion were not peaceful at this time.

What Shen Qingxu didn't know was that her words had come true. When the talents of the Shenlong Guard arrived at Prince Rong's mansion, Yang Jingxian's personal maid happened to bring tea to the table.

After hearing the news that Shen Qingxu was assassinated, and looking at Xiao Jingyuan making faces at the side, Shen Qiuchi deliberately dropped the tea that he was about to drink to the ground. The black tea actually made a sizzling, corrosive sound on the white carpet.

This scene made everyone present change their expression, and Yang Jingxian was so frightened that the child in her arms almost fell to the ground.

"How could it be..." Didn't the man in black say it was just a drug? Why was it such a strong poison?

One sip of this medicine can cause a person's intestines to burst.

Shen Qiuchi looked at Yang Jingxian who was sitting beside him and sneered.

Worried about Shen Qingxu's safety, he ignored Yang Jingxian and just glanced at Xiao Jingyuan meaningfully.

"You should handle Uncle Rong's family affairs yourself." Shen Qiuchi emphasized the word "family affairs". Xiao Jingyuan's heart trembled. He had heard about the methods of this niece-in-law. She said it was a family affair, so did she intend to let them go?
