As autumn approaches, the mountain city becomes much cooler.

During the time he was a prisoner in the mountain city, Shen Wantang felt much more relaxed.

When I have nothing to do, I go to the pond to feed the fish, or read a book in the golden garden.

During this period of free time, I have thought about many things in my mind.

Chen Kangjian did not give up his plan to incite her to defect. He sent people to deliver gifts every day and inquire about Shen Wantang's attitude.

Today, the person who came to deliver the things was a little late.

"Miss Shen, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." The servant came hurriedly and spoke while panting.

Shen Wantang slowly put down the book in his hand and smiled calmly: "What good things will your Mr. Chen give me today?"

The servant carefully presented the item in his hand.

When I opened the box, I saw a ball of snow-white plush. When I took it out, I found it was a rabbit fur collar.

"The brothers went hunting in the mountains and forests and caught a few wild rabbits. Mr. Chen ordered someone to select a few of the best ones and make collars out of them. One of them was sent to you."

The servant explained.

Shen Wantang's eyes froze, as if he was thinking about something.

If she remembered correctly, Chen Kangjian should have a lover, but after Prince Duanxian left, there was no news about Chen Kangjian. After Shen Wantang married into the Cen family, she no longer paid attention to other things.

Now, I don’t know whether his sweetheart has come to the mountain city with him.

Shen Wantang raised his eyes and smiled calmly: "Young man, does your Mr. Chen have a wife?"

After he finished speaking, the servant in front of him stood there in a daze, and the smile on his face became a little stiff.

"Mr. Chen has no wife." The servant's eyes were filled with embarrassment as he spoke slowly.

Shen Wantang nodded: "Thank Mr. Chen for me."

After leaving Shen Wantang's residence, the servant secretly slipped out through the back door and followed the path to Zhang Shan's residence.

"What!?"

Zhang Shan stood up angrily and punched the table: "Why is she asking these questions!"

The servant was so frightened that he fell to his knees and shook his head: "I don't know either."

"Could it be that she wants to be Chen Kangjian's wife?" Zhang Shan shouted angrily, "Who the hell is she? I don't even want her to be my concubine!"

"We can't keep this person any longer!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a hint of murderous ruthlessness appeared in Zhang Shan's eyes.

At night, Shen Wantang lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

I thought carefully about the things in my previous life, but I couldn't remember anything about Chen Kangjian.

Perhaps it was because hatred took up most of my mind that I couldn't remember these details clearly.

Perhaps because she was tired of thinking, Shen Wantang's eyes slowly closed.

I was sleeping soundly, but I heard a rustling sound in my ears.

Shen Wantang woke up suddenly and saw a flash of silver light under the moonlight.

She dodged and a dagger stabbed into the pillow.

The visitor saw her react and turned around instantly.

Shen Wantang hastily put on his cloak. The only thing at hand was the fork to hold up the window.

After a few moves, Shen Wantang had already tested most of his opponent's kung fu.

The opponent's attack was a killing move, with no intention of leaving Shen Wantang any chance of survival.

In order to avoid the attack from the intruder, Shen Wantang rushed out.

The fallen leaves in the yard rustled as a result of the two people's movements, and even woke up Shaoyao who was resting in the side room.

"Miss Shen?"

Shaoyao slowly opened the door and asked tentatively.

The person who came flashed and went towards Shaoyao.

Shen Wantang followed closely, but was still a step slow.

The man in black put the dagger on Shaoyao's neck, and Shaoyao woke up instantly.

"If you come forward again, her life will be in my hands!"

The man in black spoke in a deep voice.

Shen Wantang frowned and said, "You can't beat me, so you use others as a threat. Is this how you Shancheng people behave?"

The man in black didn't listen at all, but just looked around, trying to find a way to leave.

Shen Wantang gripped the fork tightly in his hand and was ready to move forward when the time was right.

She had a gambling mentality, and he knew that the people of Shancheng would not harm their own people.

But this time, she bet wrong.

The moment she raised her foot forward, the man in black raised the dagger high and was about to stab Shaoyao in the heart.

Shen Wantang raised his hand and threw the fork out suddenly.

But it was still a moment too late, and the dagger pierced into Shaoyao's heart.

"Peony!" Shen Wantang roared heartbreakingly.

He rushed forward and hugged Shaoyao tightly.

The man in black took this opportunity to fly to the roof and disappeared into the night.

Shen Wantang's voice spread out, and in just a moment, the door of the courtyard was opened, and Chen Kangjian and his men hurried over.

"Go get a doctor quickly!" Shen Wantang raised her eyes, tears streaming down her face, her eyes revealing a pleading look.

Chen Kangjian sent someone to wave his hand, and the men behind him hurried out.

The doctor and Zhang Shan arrived at the same time. Seeing Shaoyao lying on the couch with a pale face, Zhang Shan's face flushed red. He quickly stepped forward, grabbed Shen Wantang by the collar and cursed: "You jinx, whoever stays with you will encounter misfortune!"

Chen Kangjian cast a sharp look at Zhang Shan, and then he stopped talking.

The doctor hurried forward and took a look at Shaoyao's condition.

"Mr. Chen, the dagger is inserted into your heart. Once it is pulled out, I'm afraid you will be dead." Beads of sweat appeared on the doctor's forehead.

"Is there no other way?" Chen Kangjian asked with a nervous look on his face.

The doctor sighed and shook his head: "The girl is weak and I'm afraid she won't make it."

"Pull it out!" Shen Wantang raised his eyes with a determined look, "The longer this knife stays on my heart, the more danger Shaoyao will be in."

Seeing Shen Wantang so determined, the doctor couldn't help but look at Chen Kangjian beside him.

Chen Kangjian's inquiring gaze fell on Shen Wantang, and after a moment, he nodded.

The doctor breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay."

After washing his hands, the doctor walked tremblingly to the bedside where Shen Wantang was sitting, and slowly held Shen Wantang's hand.

After spending these few days with her, she realized that Shaoyao was a good girl. In this mansion, most people looked down on Shen Wantang, except Shaoyao.

While she was reading in the yard, Shaoyao sat beside her embroidering.

The doctor's hand fell on the dagger, he swallowed, and prepared to exert force.

With a little effort, the dagger was pulled out of Shaoyao's heart, along with blood.

In an instant, the whole room was filled with the smell of blood.

Shen Wantang held Shaoyao's hand tightly and stroked her hand gently, as if to comfort her.

After the doctor treated Shaoyao's wound, he let out a long breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Now that the dagger is out, the rest is up to Miss Shaoyao herself."
