Reborn Princess

Wang Ciyuan put the tea in his hand heavily on the table and said coldly: "You know one thing, everything that goes up must decline."

"It would be best if you could stay rich forever."

Shen Lilan chuckled: "Then I will also say something to Grandmother."

Wang Ciyuan looked at her with contempt.

Shen Yanlan said: "Those who do too much evil will eventually perish."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere around Wang Ciyuan became a little colder.

Shen Yanlan calculated the time and said, "This time, I have invited Grandmother's granddaughter An and drank tea, so I will not accompany Grandmother for dinner."

"Let's go." Shen Yanlan didn't wait for Wang Ciyuan to speak, and left with a few servants.

After seeing her leave, Wang Ciyuan threw the tea bowl in her hand to the ground, and the porcelain pieces shattered all over the floor.

"What an ignorant person," she said.

……

When Shen Lan saw Liu Chun rushing back, he asked, "What happened?"

Liu Chun said: "I've taken the bait."

Shen Lilan nodded.

In order to avoid arousing the old woman's suspicion, he took a few people back to the East Palace for lunch.

Li Helai was also happy to see Shen Xilan: "It's been a while since we last met. I just happened to be in time for lunch. Fu Fu, please follow me to the front hall to eat."

Shen Xilan nodded and followed Li Heluo to the front hall.

"Where's Daddy?" she asked.

"There have been some unusual incidents on the border of Mobei recently. He has taken his army to Mobei. Your brother sent a letter to ask about your well-being a few days ago."

Li Helai said, "A few days ago, your brother sent someone to bring a few jars of milk wine and some cheese. He knows you like to eat these, so you can take some back today."

Shen Lilan nodded.

"Why didn't Jinzhi come with you?"

After Shen Yanlan entered the dining room and sat down with Li Helai, he said, "He went to Luzhou."

"Luzhou? It's so far away."

Shen Lilan nodded. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Mother, have you noticed anything unusual in the capital today?"

Li Heyao nodded: "Your father and I both noticed something was wrong, but we didn't know where to start."

Shen Yanlan said sternly, "The capital may be in chaos. Mother, please remember not to leave the mansion at will during the next few days. Also, add more guards to the mansion."

Li Heliao nodded: "Same to you. You should also pay more attention to the people around you."

After leaving the Shen Mansion, Shen Xilan passed by Wansang Tower on her way back to the palace in a carriage. She took a look and then closed the curtain.

Late at night, Shen Lilan wore Birui's clothes and took Chaoyun out of the house.

The lights were on in Wansang Building, and Shen Lilan went upstairs wearing a cap.

"Master, why are you here?" Fu Zhen found out that the person coming was Shen Xilan and hurried to greet him.

Shen Yanlan closed the door and took off his hat: "Come and see you."

Fu Zhen fanned herself with a silk fan: "I don't believe it. You came so late and dressed like this. You must have come to see me secretly."

Shen Lilan handed her a bag of cheese wrapped in butter paper: "Try it, Mobei cheese."

Fu Zhen glanced at the bag of cheese and said, "This little favor won't buy me off."

Shen Lilan chuckled: "You are all mine, I can't bribe you?"

“That’s different.”

Shen Lilan said: "Let me ask you, have you really thought about being the shopkeeper here for the rest of your life?"

Fu Zhen smiled and said, "Of course, this kind of leisurely and wealthy life is what I like the most."

Shen Lilan asked: "Don't you want the Qin family's case to be overturned?"

Fu Zhen sneered: "What does it matter if the verdict is overturned? The Qin family has long been destroyed, and now I am the only one alive. How can there be a Qin family?"

"If you really don't want to overturn the case, why did you go to Yang's house to look for the files from that year?"

Fu Zhen paused as she fanned herself. After a moment, she said helplessly, "I really can't hide anything from you."

"I just can't swallow that breath. The Yang family is now in its heyday, and the destruction of my Qin family will also lead to..."

Fu Zhen didn't say anything else.

Even a family with a profound heritage like the Yan family was not caught up in the struggle between the party and the government.

"What if the Yang family is destroyed?" Shen Lilan suddenly asked.

Fu Zhen was stunned: "The Yang family has been a family of nobles for generations. Now that they are so powerful, how can they be destroyed?"

"Lord, please don't do these dangerous things, otherwise you will be doomed."

Shen Xilan did not say anything. She had always held a neutral attitude towards the Yang family. No matter how powerful they were, they could not cause much trouble.

But since her rebirth, she found that Zhou Cechen seemed to be cold and hostile towards the Yang family.

She was not sure what Zhou Cechen thought of the Yang family, nor did she know what kind of relationship Zhou Cechen had with the Yang family, but she was indeed disgusted by the Yang family's various behaviors.

"I know, it's just an assumption." Shen Lilan said.

Fu Zhen said, "Don't worry, Master. You don't have to worry about the Yang family's affairs for the time being. I have experienced ups and downs for so many years, and I can keep my composure."

"But Wei Chengfeng received news yesterday that a group of refugees from Western Xinjiang were heading to Yanjing."

Shen Lilan asked: "Have you prepared all the medicines?"

Fu Zhen nodded: "Master, are you still worried about my doing this?"

"Order your people to transport the medicine to the west as soon as possible, so that they can take the medicine and minimize the number of people with smallpox entering the city, otherwise there will be chaos."

Fu Zhen nodded and asked, "How did the Lord find someone with such high martial arts skills like Wei Chengfeng? He is decisive and really useful."

Shen Lilan said: "I bought it."

Fu Zhen blinked: "What? Did you buy it again? It's the same as mine."

Why did Shen Xilan buy Wei Chengfeng? Perhaps it was because he was bought by Zhou Jingmo in his previous life and became his capable subordinate, but she didn't know that Wei Chengfeng's martial arts skills were so high.

"I bought it from a slave trader on the black market two months ago."

"No wonder he was sent here with wounds all over his body, he was whipped so badly." Fu Zhen said.

Shen Lilan: "He is absolutely loyal to his master. Just treat him well and he will be fine."

Fu Zhen nodded, "It's indeed easy to raise."

……

When Shen Xilan returned to the palace at midnight, Yanci stood at a corner of the roof and watched her enter the bedroom.

His expression was cold, but his eyes were deep and unfathomable.

Why did the princess sneak out of the house?

……

"It has been five days since we last met. I wonder how you are doing. I am fine. I wish you well."

Shen Xilan wrote some calligraphy on the piece of letter paper and then stuffed it into the letter and sealed it.

Lunong put away her umbrella and came in carrying a basket of camellias.

"My lady, it has been raining for the past few days, and many camellia flowers in the back garden have fallen to the ground. I picked up all the fallen petals and planned to crush them to paint your nails."

Shen Yanlan nodded, "Did the prince send any letter?"

Lu Nong shook her head: "It's only been five days, I guess the prince hasn't settled down yet, don't worry, your majesty, a man as powerful as the prince will be safe."

Shen Lilan didn't say anything. She handed the letter to Lu Nong and said, "Tell someone to mail this letter."

Lulu took the letter and nodded: "Yes, I will do it right away."

"Wait, Liuchun is back home again today?"

"Yes, I saw someone handing her jewelry to the mansion two days ago."

Shen Lilan: "It seems that she really succeeded. My uncle is the most romantic, and now I am afraid he is thinking about how to make the beauty smile."
