Mrs. Du recognized at a glance that except for a few servants in the front yard, the rest of them were servants from the guest house who came into the yard to deliver the makeup boxes.

Shen Zhinian's face turned pale and he thought to himself that it was not good. He wanted to make amends, but it was too late.

The servants of the foreign guest house all dispersed with a rush.

As he walked, he kept shouting, "Let's go, let's go. Today I've finally opened my eyes... This Shen family, tsk tsk tsk tsk..."

"No, sir, we have to go out and explain it clearly. If we don't explain it clearly, it will be terrible if these people spread rumors..." Mrs. Du was a little dumbfounded.

Shen Zhinian was also dumbfounded.

What you fear will come true. You are so unlucky.

The old lady was still a little confused and was still wiping her tears in grievance.

Shen Zhinian sighed fiercely: "How to explain? The old lady looks like this... can I explain it clearly?"

If the old lady, with her face full of grievances and tears, really went out, it would not only be of no help, but would make the situation worse.

"Mom, there are some things recently that I need to explain to you clearly."

Shen Zhinian decided to first explain to the old lady what had happened in the mansion recently and the difficulties the Shen family was facing.

Ever since the old lady came back from Bixiyuan, she has not only been sickly but her mind has also been a little unclear. She is always in a daze, which is very different from before.

I should explain it to her first.

Only in this way will the old lady know what to do at the moment to benefit the Shen family.

Shen Zhinian and Mrs. Du accompanied the old lady back to Shouchun Hall to explain the current situation of the Shen family to her...

At the gate of the Shen Mansion, it was already noon after Shen Qingyin sent away another group of people who came to her to give her more dowry.

Just as he was about to go back to the mansion to rest for a while, he suddenly saw a carriage coming from afar.

She was familiar with this carriage; it belonged to the general's mansion.

Mu Beiyan took this carriage on several of his trips.

Shen Qingyin went over and the carriage stopped, but there was no sign of Mu Beiyan.

The coachman jumped off the carriage and bowed to Shen Qingyin: "Miss Yin, the general sent me to pick you up."

Shen Qingyin was stunned: "Pick me up, where are we going?"

"You'll know when you get there. The general said he wants to give you a surprise."

Shen Qingyin raised the corners of his lips slightly.

Unexpectedly, Mu Beiyan, who is always serious and quiet, would do such a romantic thing.

This is really surprising.

Fan'er helped Shen Qingyin into the carriage.

Yun Wei, Yun Chan and several other maids followed behind the carriage.

The carriage went around and around for about half an hour before finally stopping.

"We're here. Please get off, young lady!" The servant jumped out of the carriage first.

Shen Qingyin got off the carriage and saw a somewhat dilapidated Taoist temple in front of him. Even the three words "Qingshui Temple" on the plaque were barely legible.

It’s hard to imagine why Mu Beiyan brought her here?

Shen Qingyin looked at the servant in confusion, and the servant said, "Miss Yin, please go in. The general is inside."

Shen Qingyin was about to go in when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Yun Wei, Yun Chan and others who were originally following the carriage disappeared without a trace.

Shen Qingyin had an ominous premonition in her heart. She looked around and found that the Taoist temple was located in a remote area with almost no human traces around.

She turned around and asked the servant, "Where did Yun Wei and Yun Chan go?"

The servant's eyes flickered, and he stammered, "I don't know. Maybe the carriage was going too fast on the road, and they didn't catch up for a while... You should go in quickly, don't keep the general waiting for too long."

Shen Qingyin pulled Fan'er back a few steps and looked at the servant in front of him vigilantly.

"Who are you exactly?"

Before the servant could answer, more than a dozen men in black rushed out of the temple.

"We, of course, are the ones who want to kill you!" The servant stopped pretending, pulled out the short blade from his waist, and revealed a hideous smile.

Shen Qingyin knew something was wrong, so he pulled Fan'er back again...

Next to the city gate, in a teahouse.

Mu Beiyan looked at the old woman in front of him who was crying but not saying a word, and felt confused.

At that time, he had just returned from the parade ground and returned to the city, where he met the old woman at the city gate.

The old woman heard from somewhere that the person sitting in the carriage was a general, so she stopped his carriage and said that she had a great grievance to redress.

He told the old woman that if she had any grievances, she could go to Jingzhao Prefecture to seek justice.

But the old woman insisted that only the general could seek justice for her, and begged her on her knees to let her make the decision.

The old woman cried so sadly that even the group of onlookers were moved.

But when he got off the carriage and asked the old woman what injustice she had suffered, the old woman said that it was not convenient for her to speak in public.

Mu Beiyan had no choice but to go with her to the teahouse next to the city gate and asked Mu Xiaodao to guard the door.

But after entering the door, the old woman just kept crying and did not tell her grievances.

"How about this, I'll send someone to take you to Jingzhao Prefecture. If Jingzhao Prefecture really can't find out your injustice, you can go to the General's Mansion to find me." Mu Beiyan stood up and said.

The old woman suddenly stopped crying and said, "Well, thank you very much, General."

Mu Beiyan ordered Mu Xiaodao to take the old woman to Jingzhao Prefecture first, and Mu Xiaodao agreed to take the old woman out.

After a moment, he ran back in surprise: "General, our carriage is gone! It's strange, it just stopped in front of the teahouse."

Mu Beiyan was shocked when he heard this: "Where is that old woman just now?"

Mu Xiaodao turned around to look, but the old woman was nowhere to be seen.

Mu Beiyan's expression changed and he ran out of the teahouse.

Not only the old woman, but even the group of onlookers who had been blocking the entrance of the teahouse had disappeared.

"Oh no, we've been fooled!" said Mu Beiyan.

"Ah, what are they doing? Are they the carriage thieves? In broad daylight, they actually stole from our leader?" Mu Xiaodao was puzzled.

Mu Beiyan hesitated for a moment and said, "Go to the Shen family!"

If you only want the carriage, why would you take the risk to get Mu Beiyan?

He must be using his carriage to plot something else...

All he could think of was Shen Qingyin...

Mu Beiyan came to the door, stopped a passerby, snatched the horse from his hand, jumped on it, and headed straight for the Shen family...

In front of Qingshui Temple.

Seeing the men in black approaching, Shen Qingyin pulled Fan'er and continued to retreat.

Each of these people was holding a sharp knife, and it was obvious that they really wanted to kill them!

When retreating to the carriage, Shen Qingyin whispered, "Fen'er, get in the car!"

Upon hearing this, Fan'er immediately jumped onto the carriage obediently.

Shen Qingyin also jumped onto the carriage immediately afterwards.

"But miss, I don't know how to drive a car..." Fan'er was so anxious that she was about to cry.

The servant who was originally standing not far from them raised the short blade in his hand and stabbed at Shen Qingyin.

Shen Qingyin picked up the horsewhip from the carriage and whipped the servant. The servant was caught off guard and the short blade fell to the ground, so he bent down to pick it up.

Shen Qingyin took back the whip and whipped the horse hard on its back.

The horse neighed and galloped forward.

"That's not right, Miss. We should turn around, turn around..." Fen'er helped Shen Qingyin pull the reins.
