As soon as Shen Qiyin left, Xianglan followed him happily.

Seeing this, Rendong subconsciously wanted to stand up, but was pushed back by Li Zhenzhu.

She said gruffly, "Eat your food!"

As she spoke, she added some more porridge to Rendong's bowl. "They've both finished their meals, so you can go and get busy. You didn't come home last night, so you probably didn't sleep well. Now you don't even eat well. When you get old tomorrow, all the diseases will come after you."

"Hurry up, go and rest after you finish eating."

Rendong was not unhappy after being scolded by her. Instead, she felt warm in her heart.

She stuffed the last small piece of bun in her hand into her mouth, her eyes followed Li Zhenzhu's figure back and forth, and after a moment she suddenly said: "Madam, you look like a mother."

Li Zhenzhu frowned when she heard this.

What is this word?

Shouldn't it be "like my mother"? Why is it "like a mother"?

She was rubbing her hands and kneeling in the room, talking to Honeysuckle in a disjointed manner, and asked, "Is your mother like me?"

"I don't know." Honeysuckle shook her head, saying in a nonchalant tone, "I don't have a mother."

"You kid, you're talking nonsense!" Li Zhenzhu laughed: "Without a mother, where did you come from?"

"I haven't seen my mother since I was born. People in the village say that she ran away with someone."

Her father had been in poor health to begin with, and after this incident he became completely ill and died soon after.

So she was brought up by her grandmother since she was a child.

When her grandmother was alive, she had two good days.

Later, she passed away and no one took care of her anymore.

Although my second uncle's family was around, it would have been better if they were not there. When she was young, they left her to fend for herself. When she grew up a little, they remembered her and sold her for a few taels of silver.

She fled to Shangjing.

He was displaced and suffered a lot along the way. If he hadn't met my sister, he would have died of hunger and cold that day.

After listening to Rendong talking about her life story, Li Zhenzhu showed no expression, but she took note of her favorite food in her heart, thinking that she would feed her until she was plump and white in the future.

After breakfast, Li Zhenzhu urged Rendong to catch up on her sleep.

She seemed to have returned to Haitang Courtyard, but then she climbed over the wall and went straight to the General's Mansion.

She had only heard it briefly in the morning and was not sure whether the Lord was really going to take action against the people in the General's Mansion. However, she still wanted to go and see for herself whether that lady and young lady had said anything rude to her sister.

Shen Qiyin naturally didn't know that before she could suppress Xiao Yan, Rendong popped up again.

Just now, after she and Xianglan went out, they went straight to the General's Mansion, fearing that they would not meet anyone at Qiying Pavilion and would waste time instead.

Fortunately, Xiao Yan was not there.

Huo Chenzhou, on the other hand, asked in confusion, "Why did you come so early today, my friend?"

"Oh..." Shen Qiyin lied calmly, "Our treatment has entered the second stage. We are full of energy in the morning, so the effects of acupuncture and medicinal baths are better."

While giving Huo Chenzhou acupuncture, she asked inconspicuously, "Why don't you see the young lady today?"

When mentioning Su Mengdie, Huo Chenzhou's expression changed slightly.

He lowered his eyes and replied, "She went to the temple to worship Buddha."

Hearing this, Shen Qiyin's heart sank.

If Xiao Yan took action halfway, Su Mengdie would definitely die!

It wasn't that she felt sorry for the other person, but she didn't want to see someone else bear the sin of killing because of her, no matter if that person was Xiao Yan or Ren Dong.

When something goes wrong, she takes action herself.

Shen Qiyin was just about to ask about Huo Fanshuang's situation again when he suddenly heard a noise outside.

The servant at the door said anxiously: "Sir, there is no one in the mansion..."

Before he could finish his words, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside. It turned out to be Rendong who had tied up two people with a rope and was leading them in.

Behind her followed a group of guards from the general's mansion.

She entered the mansion without notifying them, so they naturally wanted to arrest her when they found out. However, because of the clothes she was wearing, they were afraid of offending the Thousand Eagle Guards and did not dare to act rashly.

Therefore, he followed her all the way to the eldest master's courtyard and waited for him to make a decision.

Huo Chenzhou didn't know Rendong, so he was confused when they first met.

However, Shen Qiyin and Xianglan had identical expressions of surprise on their faces.

"Honeysuckle!" Shen Qiyin subconsciously stood up and greeted him: "Why are you here?"

As she spoke, her eyes couldn't help but fall on the two people she was holding hands with.

One of them looked familiar to her.

It’s someone close to Su Mengdie.

When Shen Qiyin came to the general's mansion for the first time, Huo Wanqing took her to invite Su Mengdie to come to Huo Chenzhou's place. The latter did not come, but sent a maid named "Ying'er", who was this person.

As for Ren Dong, as soon as she saw Shen Qiyin, she immediately changed her face and said obediently: "I came to see my sister, I'm afraid someone would bully you."

After she finished speaking, she bowed to Huo Chenzhou and apologized, "It is my fault for trespassing into the general's mansion, but I am afraid that since I came here openly, I cannot see the true attitude of the people in this mansion towards my elder sister."

"I was in a yard and saw these two people acting suspiciously, secretly moving something. They talked about drugging and mentioned Miss Wanqing, so they tied the people up."

Under normal circumstances, Honeysuckle would not rashly interfere in other people's family affairs.

But Huo Wanqing had a close relationship with her elder sister, and since this matter involved her, she naturally could not stand idly by.

Compared to the fact that Rendong secretly sneaked into the general's mansion, Huo Chenzhou was obviously more concerned about Huo Wanqing's safety, so he immediately interrogated Ying'er and the others.

One of them is someone close to Su Mengdie, and the other is someone in Huo Wanqing's courtyard.

turn out to be--

Su Mengdie's going to the temple to burn incense today was fake, and the truth was that she deliberately left the house to create proof of her alibi.

She arranged people in advance, and when night fell, she drugged Huo Wanqing and Huo Chenzhou and threw them into a room. She then made a scene and made everyone think that they had deliberately chosen to act recklessly when she was not at home.

The two are not biological siblings, and they almost got married before. If this matter really gets out, I'm afraid they won't be able to clear themselves even if they jump into the Yellow River.

But Su Mengdie never dreamed that Rendong would intervene and ruin her plan.

After listening to what the two servants said, Huo Chenzhou's face turned gloomy, his eyes were as sharp as blades, and he almost wanted to kill someone.

Shen Qiyin's focus shifted slightly, and he asked, "According to Su Mengdie's plan, we need to make a big fuss about this matter, but how do we make it happen?"

Such things would only happen if they were seen by outsiders.

Otherwise, even if the two of them spent a night together, if they were surrounded by people close to Huo Chenzhou and Huo Wanqing, it would not be difficult to cover up the past.

Unless Su Mengdie has another trick up her sleeve that they can't hide.

Huo Chenzhou also thought of this and immediately looked at Ying'er: "What else does she want?"

"Still, still..."

"Say!"

Ying'er was frightened and shivered.

Honeysuckle glanced at her and said nonchalantly, "Mr. Huo, we, the Thousand Eagle Guards, are professionals in interrogating prisoners. Why don't you let me take the person back to the Eagle Nest?"

The deterrent effect of these words is even more effective than direct punishment.

Ying'er didn't even wait for Huo Chenzhou to answer, and hurriedly explained everything clearly.

"No! Please don't let her take me to the Eagle Nest! I will tell you everything. I will tell you everything."

"It's the Fourth Miss! She and the Young Madam have made an agreement that she will be the one to uncover this matter."

"They said that, considering Miss Wanqing's affection for you, in order to protect your reputation, she would shave her head and become a nun, even if she didn't kill herself. Then, they would all have one less thorn in their eyes."

After hearing this, Huo Chenzhou was not only angry, but also suspicious: "You said that the person who conspired with Su Mengdie was Xiao Yue?!"
