"Shu'er, speak more quietly!" Qin Zhihao hurriedly reminded Qin Jinshu when he saw that her voice was a little loud.

Qin Jinshu bit her lip and reluctantly lowered her voice: "We sent so many people to help her. Such a good opportunity is really useless!"

Dozens of people were dispatched, and it was finally possible to get the old lady to stay in Bixiyuyuan.

She had high hopes.

I hope the old lady can kill Shen Qingyin in one fell swoop...

As a result, only the house was burned down, and Shen Qingyin was not hurt at all.

How could she not be angry?

Qin Zhihao was much calmer: "Shu'er, there is no need to be like this. Mrs. Shen's original target was only Su Wenjin's family, not Shen Qingyin. The arson was just to divert attention, not to kill people. It was expected that Shen Qingyin didn't die."

Qin Jinshu was still angry:

"Second brother, if you say so, then we are all working in vain. Why bother helping her then?"

Qin Zhihao smiled slightly: "Who said it was all in vain? Don't forget, a large area of ​​Longju Pavilion was burned down - you know what Longju Pavilion is, right?"

Qin Jinshu's eyes lit up: "What does second brother mean?"

"Shen Qingyin is now the owner of Bixiyuan. How can she, as the owner, escape responsibility for the burning of Longju Pavilion?"

Qin Jinshu became happy: "Yes, yes, Shen Qingyin is not free from responsibility!

But the next moment, his face sank again: "Will the emperor kill her because of this? I'm afraid the lady will plead for mercy...even Qin Yueze might plead for mercy..."

"The burning of the emperor's old residence is a big or small matter, but whether it is big or small depends on how you say it--" Qin Zhihao stopped speaking halfway.

Qin Jinshu became anxious: "What are you talking about? I don't understand. Second brother, please stop keeping me in suspense. What do you mean?"

Qin Zhihao looked at his anxious sister, pursed his lips, and whispered his plan to her.

Qin Jinshu became happy again: "Great, my second brother still has a lot of ideas. Let's not wait any longer, let's go now!"

"Yeah." Qin Zhihao nodded.

The brother and sister smiled at each other, as if they had already seen Shen Qingyin's tragic end...

Bixiyuan.

Shen Qingyin ordered his men to guard the fire scene well and not to move rashly until the case was concluded.

He also ordered someone to look after Su Wenjin's family.

After everything was arranged, we got on the carriage.

"Madam, where are we going?" Faner asked.

"Go to the palace and apologize." Shen Qingyin spoke calmly.

Fan Er was shocked: "Go to the palace to plead guilty? But, but Madam, what if the emperor really blames me?"

Shen Qingyin was speechless.

If the emperor really wants to blame me, then I can only bear the consequences...

This matter was very strange. There was obviously someone behind the old lady. She couldn't be completely sure who it was, but at least she could see that this person must be no simple person.

It is always better to take the initiative to ask for forgiveness than to wait for others to accuse you and respond passively.

As soon as the carriage left the gate of Bixiyuan, it ran into Madam Mu who was hurrying over.

"Yin Yin, are you okay?"

Madam Mu came over in a hurry, grabbed Shen Qingyin's hand, and looked her up and down carefully, her face full of tension and concern.

Only after he was sure that Shen Qingyin was fine did he relax his expression slightly.

Looking at the worry on Madam Mu's face, Shen Qingyin felt a little sad.

Her eyes were slightly red, and she held the lady's hand: "Grandma, I'm fine, you don't have to worry, but a large area of ​​Longju Pavilion was destroyed... I'm afraid that my granddaughter-in-law has caused a big disaster for the general's mansion..."

Madam Mu said soothingly, "The most important thing is that no one is hurt. As for the destruction of Longju Pavilion, I will go to the palace and apologize to His Majesty. This is not what our Mu family wants. His Majesty is a wise ruler, and I believe he will understand."

Seeing that the lady had the same idea as herself, Shen Qingyin told her about her plan to go to the palace to apologize.

Madam Mu nodded: "Okay, then we two grandparents can go together."

The two of them then rode in a carriage to the palace.

Imperial Palace, Mingzheng Hall.

The two ministers hurried into the hall and knelt down before Emperor Qin Zhong who was sitting high on the dragon throne.

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. There was a fire in Longju Pavilion last night!" The first to speak was the Minister of Rites Su He.

Qin Zhong, who had been calm, was shocked when he heard this. He stood up suddenly and said in disbelief, "What? Dragon Residence Pavilion is on fire?"

"That's right. The fire started at the first quarter of last night," Su He added.

The person who came in with Su He was Ye Qingchen, the director of the Imperial Observatory. He followed closely behind Su He and said:

"Your Majesty, I have observed the astronomical phenomena and found that the Dragon Residence Tower was on fire last night. This is a very bad omen!"

Qin Zhong was stunned.

Ye Qingchen continued, "This disaster was caused by the failure of General Shen's wife to take good care of Longju Pavilion, which led to a thief deliberately setting fire to it. I ask Your Majesty to punish the arsonist as soon as possible and investigate the General's wife for her crime. Perhaps this can be resolved."

Ye Qingchen's words were spoken, and Su He continued:

"I second the motion. Although Shen is the wife of the general, the general's office has always put national affairs first. Punishing Shen is also for the stability of the country and the well-being of the people. I believe that the general's office will not interfere. Your Majesty, please make a quick decision--"

The two men were very confident that they would punish Shen Qingyin, but were interrupted by Qin Zhong who waved his hand.

He asked anxiously, "Is General Shen's wife okay?"

The two were stunned, somewhat surprised by the emperor's sudden question.

"Your Majesty, the general's wife is fine for now, but she cannot escape the blame—"

Hearing that Shen Qingyin was fine, Qin Zhong nodded slightly, breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly sat back on the dragon throne.

As if he had just realized something, he asked the two of them, "What were you two saying just now?"

The two were stunned again.

I thought to myself, His Majesty really attaches great importance to the affairs of Longju Pavilion, otherwise why would he be so abnormal.

After a quick glance at each other, they had to repeat what they had just said.

Qin Zhong listened and his brows furrowed more and more.

He suddenly slapped the table beside him and said, "Asshole!"

Su and Ye were so frightened that they trembled, but soon they were secretly happy.

The Emperor was so angry, it seemed that they had lived up to his expectations and the purpose of their visit would soon be achieved.

Su He hurriedly agreed: "Yes, the emperor is right. I heard that the arsonist was Shen's grandmother. She is such a jerk. Shen should be severely punished--"

At this moment, a young eunuch came in and reported, "Your Majesty, Madam Mu and General Shen's wife are outside the palace asking for an audience."

The two kneeling men couldn't help but look at each other again, with pride in their eyes.

Just in time!

Shen just happened to hit the blade!

"Please invite them both in quickly." Qin Zhong ordered anxiously.

The young eunuch went out and quickly brought the lady and Shen Qingyin into the hall.

"Ladies pay their respects to Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor!" Shen Qingyin and the Lady Dowager kowtowed to the throne together.

Su and Ye, who were kneeling nearby, watched coldly, just waiting to see how the emperor would deal with Shen Qingyin.

The emperor stood up instantly and hurried down the stairs.

Just when the two thought that the emperor was going to take action himself and kick Shen a few times, the emperor suddenly reached out to help Madam Mu.

"Get up, no need to be polite!"
