Mrs. Du responded and turned to look outside. The person who came was Shen Qingyin.

"Mother, have you been okay these past two days?" Shen Qingyin's tone was gentle, with a smile on the corners of his lips.

Mrs. Du glared at Shen Qingyin hatefully.

"I am in prison because of you."

"Mother, you got it wrong. Everything that mother did was her own decision. It has nothing to do with her daughter. When you did those things, you should have thought that there would be consequences today."

Mrs. Du was speechless in rebuttal, and said angrily, "Humph, you are a lowly concubine's daughter, pretending to be my legitimate daughter, taking advantage of me, don't be ungrateful!"

"If I hadn't been so magnanimous and kind-hearted over the years, you would have lost your life long ago, and you wouldn't have had the chance to see me make a fool of myself."

Shen Qingyin's expression did not change, and he still looked at her with a smile on his lips.

"Mother, you got it wrong again. You allowed me to be your biological daughter in name only, wasn't it because of the benefits you could get? I am still alive today, wasn't it because of the Bodhisattva's blessing that allowed me to escape death time and time again?"

After being ruthlessly exposed again, Mrs. Du felt even more ashamed and angry.

"You!" Mrs. Du pointed at Shen Qingyin, shaking with anger but unable to speak.

The Shen Qingyin in front of her was no longer the little girl who would blush with joy when she received a word of praise from her.

It's no use what she said...

Shen Qingyin coughed lightly and said slowly, "Mother, there's no need to be so angry. I came here today just to save you, not to argue with you."

"Save me?" Mrs. Du snorted coldly.

Even Shen Zhinian didn't really want to save her.

How could Shen Qingyin, who sent her to jail, really save her?

"You are just trying to trick me into giving you the things. I'm telling you, it's impossible! Have I raised you for so many years in vain? Have you called me mother in vain? That thing is the reward for raising you. Don't even think about taking it back."

Shen Qingyin lowered his eyes slightly.

She didn't know what her biological mother left behind.

But judging from what Mrs. Du said, it must be something valuable.

"Mother, please think carefully. This prison is not a good place. No matter how valuable something is, it cannot compare to freedom." Shen Qingyin said.

Seeing that Mrs. Du had a tight mouth and an expression that did not change, and looked like she would never compromise, she said:

"Also, there is something I need to remind mother. Now people outside are talking about the fact that a vicious woman has appeared in the Shen family, and my father has also been scolded. The Shen family members dare not even go out... If this continues, who knows when my father will not be able to bear it anymore and will divorce his wife..."

Mrs. Du's eyes widened: "Divorce? Don't scare me! How dare he?"

Since she married into the Shen family, she not only used her dowry to supplement the family income, but also performed her duties conscientiously, raised children for the Shen family, and kept the house in order.

She has made an indispensable contribution to the Shen family’s transformation from a poor family that could barely afford food to what it is today.

Needless to say, it took Shen Zhinian a lot of effort and many visits to propose to her before he finally married her!

"Boil? The Shen family is now deeply involved in the world's saliva. The reason why they are deeply involved is because of what happened at the old lady's birthday banquet last time and this time Miaomiao's incident. Both times, mother was the culprit. One time was in public, and the other was the result of the fair trial of the prefect. Mother can't shirk it at all."

Shen Qingyin stared at Mrs. Du, who already looked nervous.

"If father divorces you, do you think it will make everyone happy? Will the Shen family be free from the gossip of others from now on?"

"Not only father, but also my elder sister and brother Yuanda. Do you think they are willing to recognize you now or not? Oh, by the way, have my elder sister and brother Yuanda come to see you?"

Mrs. Du's eyes widened instantly and she took a breath of cold air.

She had to admit that Shen Qingyin's analysis made a lot of sense.

She had indeed made contributions to the Shen family, but that was in the past.

Now she has become a burden to the Shen family.

She had already seen how terrible the saliva of those people outside was after the old lady's incident last time.

In addition to this incident, although she couldn't hear it, she could imagine the situation the Shen family was facing...

Is he really going to give the things to Shen Qingyin and let Shen Qingyin rescue him?

She is not reconciled!

She couldn't believe Shen Qingyin either.

She is so cunning!

She still wanted to see Shen Zhinian again before she could say anything...

Shen Qingyin glanced at her disdainfully and turned his head slightly.

"Think about it yourself, mother. I am now the wife of the general, and the lady has handed over the management of the general's mansion to me. In the storehouse of the general's mansion, there are countless rewards from the palace alone. Am I greedy for the value of that thing? I just want to take back my biological mother's relics, that's all."

"As long as you give it to me, I will withdraw the case. Your case has been tried in court. According to the law, you can only withdraw the case within seven days, and there are still three days. The law is above everything else. After these three days, even if I want to withdraw the case, I can't. Mother will have to endure the days of suffering in this prison."

After Shen Qingyin finished speaking, he turned and left.

Leaving Mrs. Du with a messy face.

Shen family.

The old lady sat aside sighing as she watched the doctor bandage Shen Zhinian's wound.

I had hoped that Shen Zhinian could get a result.

As a result, he didn't even go to jail, and he was covered in injuries. He couldn't go to jail for a while.

"Zhi Nian, why don't I go to the prison myself and ask Mrs. Du." The old lady stood up and said anxiously.

Now she just wanted to get the treasure quickly because it was so valuable.

"Mom, you'd better not go. Those idle people at the prison gate are just staring at us. You are old and you can't stand their harassment."

At this moment, Shen Zhinian was lying on the couch, grimacing in pain, but his mind was clearer than ever.

He figured it out.

He was allowed in only because those people wanted him to go in and see Mrs. Du.

If they don't want him to come in, there's no way he'll ever get to meet Mrs. Du.

It seems that Shen Qingyin is determined to get that thing back...

"Then what do you say we should do?" The old lady sat down again angrily.

Shen Zhinian thought for a moment.

"Mom, if that thing is not with Yue'er, it must still be in the Lotus Courtyard."

No matter what tricks Shen Qingyin used to dig out the hiding place of that thing from Du's mouth.

Eventually, I have to go back to the Shen family to look for it.

Instead of going to the prison to ask the unreliable Mrs. Du, it is better to look for him directly in the mansion.

"So what should we do next?" The old lady thought her son's words made sense.

"Mom, let's continue looking in the Lotus Courtyard. At worst, we can dig three feet underground and we will definitely find it."

The old lady nodded, and immediately called a few capable servants to rush to the Lotus Courtyard again to look for it.

Shen Zhinian was worried, so he endured the pain and followed with someone's support...

In Yuhu County.

On the lake, a large ship was coming from a distance and slowly approaching the shore.
