Hearing that her second brother had an idea, Qin Jinshu's face lit up, and she urged anxiously: "What idea is it, second brother, tell me quickly."

"Have you heard about what happened in the Shen family?" Qin Zhihao asked Qin Jinshu in return.

Qin Jinshu pursed her lips in annoyance: "Of course I heard about it. Who in the capital doesn't know about the Shen family's affairs?"

Who could have thought that Shen Qingyin's mother would let her servants murder her adopted daughter?

And her father, Shen Zhinian, was an official appointed by the imperial court, but he secretly colluded with bandits and even kidnapped and killed a poor three-year-old girl?

This was a huge scandal in the capital, no, even in the Northern Xin Dynasty.

She was able to remain calm during this period because she wanted to wait and see how things would develop.

The Shen family is notorious. As the daughter of the Shen family, Shen Qing deserves to be implicated and deserves to be despised and scolded by thousands of people!

It would be best if she died of shame, or His Majesty the Emperor could punish her!

But Shen Qingyin had been slandered in public by Mrs. Du and Shen Rongyue, mother and daughter. Out of sympathy, those ignorant people scolded all the members of the Shen family, even the old lady and Shen Rongyue who had married into Prince Kang's Mansion, but they did not scold Shen Qingyin.

She found someone to mingle in the crowd and deliberately started to curse, but ended up being ridiculed by those ignorant people.

They say that the second young lady of the Shen family is different from the others in the Shen family...

Bah! Isn't the daughter of a vicious person a bad seed?

I think it must be because Shen Qingyin is now the wife of a great general, so those people dare not scold her...

I thought that the people were ignorant and afraid of the General's Mansion, so it was okay, the Emperor could always take charge of the overall situation.

Unexpectedly, the emperor did not blame Shen Qingyin for this matter.

I heard that earlier today, Shen Qingyin followed Mu Beiyan into the palace, and the Emperor and the Empress even rewarded her...

It's really unfair, but she has no place to complain!

"Then have you ever thought about making a fuss about this matter?" Qin Zhihao said.

Qin Jinshu frowned: "Second brother, if you have any good ideas, just tell me, don't test me."

Anyway, she couldn't think of what to do about it.

Seeing that Qin Jinshu was really impatient, Qin Zhihao directly expressed his idea: "Kill with a borrowed knife."

Qin Jinshu was puzzled: "Borrowing a knife to kill? Whose knife?"

Qin Zhihao nodded: "That's right, guess who hates Shen Qingyin the most?"

Qin Jinshu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry at this question.

"Do you even need to guess? Of course it's me!"

Shen Qing was really an eyesore and a nuisance to her.

She dreamed of getting rid of her quickly!

"No! You probably don't know that the reason why the Shen family is in what it is today is all because of Shen Qingyin." Qin Zhihao said.

"Earlier, when the eldest lady of the Shen family, Mrs. Du, murdered her adopted daughter, she first sued Shen Qingyin. Although she later withdrew the lawsuit, it still caused a great uproar in the city and everyone knew about it, causing Mrs. Du to lose face."

"According to the information I sent people to find out about Shen Zhinian's case, it was not someone else but Shen Qingyin and Mu Beiyan who uncovered all this behind the scenes."

"Also, during the trial that day, Pei Xiren was clearly asking about the case of the girl's floating corpse in the lake, but several people from the Shen family rushed to the court and took out the account books and stolen silver that Shen Zhinian had hidden. As a result, Shen Zhinian completely lost the will to live, and he was so angry that he wanted to hit his head against the pillar to commit suicide..."

Qin Jinshu seemed to have come to her senses: "Second brother, are you saying that the Shen family went to the lobby and almost forced Shen Zhinian to death, and it was also arranged by Shen Qingyin?"

"What else? The Shen family went to court without knowing why, holding tens of thousands of taels of silver, in order to force the head of the Shen family to death. Isn't that strange? There must be someone behind this. If we investigate carefully, it must be related to Shen Qingyin."

"I just don't know if the Shen family has realized it now. If they have, do you think they will hate Shen Qingyin to death? Hate her so much that they want to kill her?"

Qin Jinshu nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, of course, the Shen family really suffered a big loss this time! But, but what if they haven't reacted yet?"

Qin Zhihao snorted: "Of course, let them react."

Qin Jinshu nodded in agreement: "Second brother's trick of using a knife to kill someone is really brilliant..."

Shen family.

Since returning from the Jingzhao Mansion Hall, the old lady has been in tears all day, unable to eat or sleep.

The scene of Shen Zhinian banging his head against the pillar in class was deeply imprinted in her mind and she could never forget it.

That was her son who had depended on her for many years. How could she not feel heartbroken?

What's more, he is the head of the Shen family. Even if this incident will not implicate the Shen family in the end, without the head of the Shen family, the family will eventually fall into decline...

Mrs. Du also couldn't sleep.

As soon as she closed her eyes, Shen Zhinian was standing in front of her, covered in blood, looking at her with hatred.

She was so scared that she woke up from her dream in a cold sweat again and again.

In addition, the prefect said that he would find out the truth, but he did not say that the Shen family would not be implicated. She always felt uneasy and could not sleep even more.

Unable to sleep at night, she had to take a nap during the day these past two days to relieve her headache.

The old lady and Mrs. Du had no time to take care of the affairs of the mansion. In addition, since Shen Zhinian, the head of the family, would never return, the Shen family soon fell into chaos.

Some servants with ulterior motives took the opportunity to stir up trouble. They secretly took away some valuable things in the mansion and sold them.

However, the good thing was that the idlers who had gathered outside the main gate and side gate of the Shen family to watch the excitement suddenly disappeared without a trace. No one came to scold them anymore, and they could come and go without any hindrance.

"Madam, Madam, something bad has happened. The valuable painting "Leaning on Plum Blossoms" hanging in the master's study has disappeared, and I don't know who has taken it away!"

Mrs. Du had just fallen asleep with great difficulty, but was woken up by the noisy voice of Mrs. Wang beside her. She was immediately furious.

"These arrogant and reckless people are so evil! The Shen family treated them well in the past, but now that the Shen family is in trouble, are they all trying to take advantage of the situation to rob us?"

"Go, find the civil servant and ask him to investigate. If he finds out who did it, he will be skinned alive!"

"Yes, madam." Mrs. Wang lowered her head and hurried out the door.

How could Mrs. Du sleep well after getting so angry?

She paced back and forth in the room, feeling restless.

"Madam, I have to say a few words. The situation in the mansion is really not good... Madam, you should make plans early..." Yang Laoliu, who had been standing by the door, said softly.

Because there was really no capable person at hand, and Yu had performed well in recent days, Du brought Yu and another woman, Wang, to her side.

Mrs. Du stopped and said, "Plan ahead? What do you mean by that?"
