Hu Wan has been giving birth to children for Shen Liangjun for the past ten years. Although they are all illegitimate sons and daughters, Shen Liangjun still dotes on these children because she is good-looking and gentle.

Shen Liangjun's wife, Si Qianyi, gave birth to a son and a daughter, both legitimate children, soon after she married him.

Si Qianyi was a kind-hearted person who was very tactful in her dealings with others. She never treated her concubines or children harshly. Even the servants in the mansion spoke well of her.

And she didn't control Shen Liangjun, just let him make his own decision.

On this day, Shen Jiaojiao, the third daughter of Hu Wan, accidentally bumped into Shen Biyao, the eldest daughter of Si Qianyi, while playing in the garden.

Shen Bi Yao was only ten years old, but she had the demeanor of a lady from a noble family. She did not blame her sister, but the maid around her had some complaints.

When Hu Wan heard about this, she was shocked and hurriedly took Shen Jiaojiao to apologize. Si Qianyi kindly comforted them and gave Shen Jiaojiao a jade hairpin, which made Hu Wan grateful.

However, this seemingly harmonious scene was seen by those in the mansion, and a turbulent house fight was about to begin...

A few days later, Shen Liangjun went out to visit a friend. Si Qianyi was embroidering in her room when she suddenly heard a noise outside the door.

It turned out that Hu Wan's maid and Shen Biyao's maid had a dispute. Si Qianyi hurried out to check, only to see that the two of them were arguing with each other.

When Si Qianyi asked about the cause, she found out that it was because of an embroidered handkerchief. Hu Wan's maid said that it was Shen Biyao's maid who stole her master's embroidered handkerchief, but Shen Biyao's maid insisted that it was not stolen.

Si Qianyi looked at the two people and knew that someone was deliberately provoking trouble. She made a prompt decision and punished them to kneel for an hour each, and warned them not to quarrel again.

On the surface, the storm has calmed down temporarily, but Si Qianyi knows that this is just the beginning...

Shen Biyao's maid Caifeng had been kneeling on the cold floor for an hour, her knees were numb, but she didn't dare to stand up because it was an order from her mistress.

Suddenly, Caifeng couldn't help crying, and tears fell like beads from a broken string.

"Miss, I really didn't steal anything..." Caifeng said in a crying voice.

Shen Biyao felt so distressed when she saw Caifeng's pitiful appearance. She gently helped Caifeng up and comforted her, "Okay, don't cry. I believe you didn't steal anything. Go back to your room and rest first. I'll go talk to my mother."

After saying that, Shen Bi Yao turned and left, leaving Cai Feng with tears of gratitude.

Shen Biyao came to the main hall and found her mother Si Qianyi who was busy. She took a deep breath and said with courage: "Mother, Caifeng didn't steal anything, why did you punish her to kneel?"

Si Qianyi stopped what she was doing, turned to look at her daughter, and said in a serious tone: "Biyao, don't act on impulse! This matter is not a trivial matter. If Caifeng is not punished, it will be difficult to convince the public."

Shen Biyao frowned and asked doubtfully, "But mother, Caifeng was clearly wronged! We can't treat her like this."

Si Qianyi sighed and said earnestly: "Biyao, you are still too young, there are some things you don't understand. The rules of the mansion must be strictly enforced, otherwise it will be a mess. Moreover, this incident has a huge impact. If Caifeng is not punished, other servants will think that stealing is a tolerable behavior."

Shen Biyao was very conflicted when she heard her mother's words. She knew her mother was right, but she couldn't bear to see Caifeng being wronged. She thought for a moment and decided to stick to her own ideas.

"Mother, I understand your concerns, but Caifeng is not just a maid to me, but also my friend and relative. If we can't even trust her, then what is the meaning of this world? Please think about it again!" Shen Biyao said firmly.

Si Qianyi looked at her daughter's resolute expression and couldn't help but waver in her heart. She thought about it and felt that maybe she should give Shen Biyao a chance to let her learn how to deal with such complicated interpersonal relationships. So, she nodded slowly, indicating that she agreed to Shen Biyao's request.

"Okay, since you insist so much, then you can handle this matter. But remember, you must be fair and just and not favor anyone," Si Qianyi reminded.

Shen Biyao nodded excitedly, with confidence gleaming in her eyes. She was determined to find out the truth and clear Caifeng's name.

Hu Wan's maid Zhu Ying was given by the young master, so she would not betray the Shen family. She was loyal to Hu Wan, and could even be said to be devoted to her.

"Miss, I definitely saw Caifeng stealing something. Why don't you believe it?" Zhuying said with certainty.

"Of course I believe in Caifeng's character and she would not steal things from the mansion." Shen Biyao's face was as calm as water, and her tone was firm and powerful. It was obvious that she did not believe what Zhuying said.

Zhu Ying was speechless. She couldn't understand why Shen Biyao trusted Caifeng so much, even though she saw Caifeng stealing something with her own eyes. Could it be that Caifeng really didn't steal anything? Or was what she saw just a misunderstanding?

Shen Bi Yao decided to investigate the matter in depth. She paid attention to Cai Feng's every move, trying to find evidence to prove her innocence.

A few days later, late at night, Shen Biyao accidentally discovered that Caifeng quietly returned to the room, behaving stealthily.

She was puzzled and followed him.

However, just as Shen Biyao was about to push the door open, she heard a conversation between Caifeng and another strange voice. "How is it going?" the strange voice asked.

"Don't worry, everything is going according to plan. As long as we get rid of Zhuying, our plan will be half successful." Caifeng said proudly. Shen Biyao was shocked after hearing this, it turned out that all this was a conspiracy.

She quickly left the scene, secretly thanking herself for not rushing in impulsively. Now, she had to be more careful so as not to alert the enemy.

At the same time, she also decided to tell her mother Si Qianyi about this important discovery and discuss countermeasures together.

"What! Caifeng is a spy? How is that possible? She is one of the people I trust the most!" Shen Biyao widened her eyes and said in disbelief.

"That's the truth. Caifeng is indeed a spy. And we don't know her exact identity yet, but what is certain is that she is not from our side." Si Qianyi analyzed calmly.

"Then what is her purpose? Could it be Hu Wan?" Shen Biyao frowned, feeling uneasy.

"It's very likely. So we must notify Hu Wan as soon as possible and let her be prepared. At the same time, we must also find a way to protect ourselves and the people around us." Si Qianyi said while thinking about countermeasures.

"Then what should we do?" Shen Biyao asked anxiously.

"First, we have to send a message to Hu Wan, telling her that Caifeng is a spy and reminding her to be careful. Secondly, we have to let Zhuying suffer some grievances, so as to attract Caifeng's attention and lure her out. Finally, when Caifeng comes to us, we can capture her in one fell swoop and uncover the truth of this conspiracy." Si Qianyi said confidently.

"Okay, then let's follow your plan. However, we must be careful and not alert the enemy." Shen Bi Yao nodded in agreement.

Thus, a thrilling spy game begins...
