Shen Feimo frowned when he heard this. Although he had an open-minded personality, it did not mean that he did not understand the dirty things in the court.

He put down his chopsticks, pondered for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Sister, you are right. It seems that our Duke's Mansion is really in a precarious situation now, especially when it comes to the issue of military power, which is more likely to arouse jealousy."

Seeing that he had listened to her, Shen Mengyao breathed a sigh of relief.

"No matter what, we must always take precautions. When you return to the border, you must pay more attention to the people around you and don't let villains take advantage of you."

"Don't worry!" Shen Feimo nodded solemnly, and then said: "Sister, did you hear something when you said this to your brother?"

Shen Mengyao was stunned and didn't know where to start. Even if he was her own brother, he would be extremely shocked when he heard that she was reborn.

She must not tell him about this. She thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Brother, I am just worried about you. After all, you are in important positions, and the Duke's Mansion is the emperor's confidant. It is inevitable that some people will target you. I just hope that you can be careful and pay more attention to the people around you to avoid being framed by villains."

Shen Feimo looked at her, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled and said: "Sister, don't worry, although I am a rough man, I am not so easy to fool. I will pay attention."

Shen Mengyao felt a little relieved, she knew that Shen Feimo had listened to her words. As long as he could pay attention to these things, the Duke's Mansion would have more protection.

"Brother, it's rare for you to come back. Even though it's not Qingming Festival, you should go and sweep the grave for mother."

Shen Feimo looked up at the sunny weather and nodded, "Okay."

Cuiming Mountain outside Beijing is a quiet and beautiful mountain range. Here is the resting place of the former mistress of the Duke's Mansion. The two of them walked one after the other on the path leading to their mother's grave.

The mountain breeze blew, causing the two people's clothes to flutter, as if telling of some kind of sadness of parting.

Along the way, the two were silent, and the occasional exchanges were mostly about memories of their mother.

Arriving at the cemetery, Shen Feimo squatted down and carefully cleaned the weeds and fallen leaves in front of the tomb. Then he carefully lit a stick of incense for his mother with a pious and solemn look.

"Mother, I'm back." Shen Feimo knelt in front of the tomb, his voice full of longing, "Your spirit in heaven must bless our Duke's Mansion to be safe and sound, and bless my father and sister to be well."

After sweeping the tomb, Shen Feimo smiled and said, "I used to come to Cuiming Mountain often. Now the scenery is just right, why not go and enjoy the spring."

"Alright!"

Shen Mengyao nodded in agreement.

The two of them set out on the Cuiming Mountain road together. The road was winding, with lush trees on both sides and the fragrance of flowers.

There is also a temple on the mountain. The sound of the bell can be heard melodiously, and it is particularly peaceful. Going up the mountain road, you will find a small temple located halfway up the mountain, surrounded by trees and the lake.

"Come on, brother. I heard that the fortune sticks at Pudu Temple are very effective. Let's go get you a lucky charm."

"Do you still believe this?" Although Shen Feimo seemed reluctant, he followed honestly.

Shen Mengyao turned around and smiled.

The young monk led them to the main hall, where the four statues of gods looked majestic and majestic.

The old monk with white beard looked like Maitreya Buddha in the world. He looked very kind when he smiled. He walked up to them and put his hands together: "Amitabha, are you asking about your future or your marriage?"

Shen Mengyao pointed at Shen Feimo: "He asked about his future."

The old monk glanced at Shen Feimo and said with a smile: "The villain is gradually moving away from the evil, and the clouds will be cleared to reveal the blue sky."

Shen Mengyao's eyes lit up. Isn't this what she expected?

"Thank you very much. I also want to ask for a talisman. My brother is stationed at the border and needs the talisman to protect him."

The old monk smiled and turned his gaze to Shen Mengyao: "These are all trivial matters, female donor, what about you? What do you want?"

Before she answered, Shen Feimo said it for her: "Now that she is divorced, she wants to find a good marriage partner."

Shen Mengyao immediately denied it: "I don't think so. Now that I've been hurt, I don't want to think about these messy things anymore. Master, please help me calculate my future."

The old monk stroked his beard and chuckled: "You will be liberated if you establish your own business, and you will find a good relationship if you enter the secular world. Everything is in accordance with the law, so just go with the flow."

Shen Mengyao was confused, but Shen Feimo half-understood and laughed: "It seems that those involved are confused, while bystanders can see clearly."

The old monk smiled and said, "Donor, after going through so many things, you should understand that everything is in your own hands. There is no destiny that cannot be changed. Now the old monk is just saying auspicious words."

Shen Mengyao's face turned cold.

Why did the old monk's words sound as if he already knew that he had been reborn? What did he mean when he said that his destiny was in his own hands?

While I was thinking about it, the old monk had already clasped his hands together, chanted a Buddhist name, and turned away.

Shen Mengyao felt an inexplicable panic in her heart, and she felt as if her secret was about to be discovered.

She suppressed her uneasiness and said to Shen Feimo, "Brother, I heard there is a Thousand Birds Lake here. Let's go and see the scenery by the lake."

Shen Feimo nodded, and the two of them came to the lake together. The lake water was clear, and the breeze blew over it, rippling the surface of the lake. Birds were nesting by the lake, leisurely and contented.

Shen Mengyao stood by the lake, looking at her reflection in the lake, her heart in a state of confusion.

"Mengyao, why are you so worried?" Shen Feimo looked at her and asked puzzledly.

After Shen Mengyao realized what was happening, she forced a laugh and said, "No, brother, there are just some things I can't figure out."

Shen Feimo looked at her, feeling confused. He knew Shen Mengyao had always been a smart woman, but during this period of time, she had become a little bit unpredictable to him.

"Sister." He straightened his expression: "If you have any difficulties, you can tell your brother. Although your brother is rough, he will do his best to help you." Shen Feimo said seriously.

Shen Mengyao looked at him, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She knew that no matter what difficulties she encountered, Shen Feimo would be by her side. But she couldn't tell her brother about her rebirth.

"Brother, I'm fine. It's just some trivial matters." Shen Mengyao smiled and tried to make herself look relaxed.

Shen Feimo looked at her. Although he was still a little confused, he also knew that she was stubborn. If she didn't want to talk, he wouldn't ask too much.

At this moment, there was a rustling sound of footsteps behind him, and a young monk came over, clasped his hands together, bowed, and said, "Sir, can you come with me back to the Buddhist temple?"
