The daughter of the firstborn is rebellious and is reborn to bury her whole family

Not far from the Begonia Courtyard, there is a small pond, reflecting the bright moonlight and sparkling water.

There is a pavilion built on a rockery beside the pond. It is the only scenic spot in the entire Shen family except for the old lady's yard.

Shen Qiyin held the lantern in one hand and lifted her skirt with the other, and walked up the stairs.

Standing in the pavilion, you can have a panoramic view of all the courtyards in the mansion.

It was quiet and dark all around, except for two big red lanterns lit at the gate of Aunt Zhou's courtyard.

After confirming his thoughts, Shen Qiyin returned to his yard, went to his room to rest, and had a dreamless night.

The next morning, when she got up, she saw Honeysuckle already practicing in the yard.

Originally, after breakfast, she and Rendong were preparing to go out, but before they left Haitang Courtyard, they heard that there was a commotion in Zhuijin Hall.

It all started when Madam Shen went to ask Old Madam Shen for silver, and she asked for fifty taels. Old Madam Shen refused to give it, so Madam Shen brought up Shen Cang, saying it was his idea.

If it had happened in the past, when Old Madam Shen found out that it was her eldest son's idea, even if she was puzzled, she would definitely agree.

But recently, their relationship between mother and son has been tense. Yesterday, Shen Cang blamed her for making trouble, and she is still angry. Today, Mrs. Shen used Shen Cang to pressure her, which is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.

Therefore, Mrs. Shen said she would not give any money.

Mrs. Shen had "grown up" by now and understood that "those with bare feet are not afraid of those with shoes". She immediately threatened to commit suicide, shouting things like "I'm stuck between them, so I might as well just die". She turned around and ran out of the house, intending to splash blood at the gate.

How could Mrs. Shen give in?

Quickly ask someone to stop her.

In fact, Old Madam Shen didn't believe that Madam Shen really dared to commit suicide, but she couldn't let her do this, otherwise she would lose face.

So in order to appease Mrs. Shen, she could only take the money reluctantly.

Mrs. Shen took the silver and left happily.

As soon as he turned around, the money was in Shen Qiyin's hands.

Fifty taels of heavy weight!

Miss Shen held it in her hand and was happy.

Mrs. Shen was still immersed in the joy of "victory", and had no idea that she was being used as a pawn by Shen Qiyin. She was still happily reviewing the situation with her: "I've been married to the Shen family for so many years, but this is the first time I feel so proud!"

"Yin'er, you didn't see how helpless the old lady looked just now. Haha... just thinking about it makes me feel relieved."

"She has also come to this day!"

Shen Qiyin looked at Madam Shen's excited face calmly and said softly, "Then mother should strike while the iron is hot and quickly get the key to the warehouse."

"Well, I'll go talk to your father when he gets back from duty today."

In fact, she had wanted to say it yesterday, but he stayed in the room of that little bitch Aunt Zhou at night, and he went to the palace to work early today, so she didn't find a chance.

As they were talking, a little maid suddenly stumbled in: "Madam! Something bad has happened!"

"what happened?"

"Mrs. Zheng is dead!" The maid was so anxious that her forehead was sweating. "The officer from Jingzhao Prefecture said that Mrs. Zheng committed suicide in prison out of fear of punishment, and asked us to send someone to collect the body."

"Dead?!" Mrs. Shen stood up suddenly.

"Well, it is said that he died by hitting his head against the wall. Steward Li is waiting outside the courtyard, waiting to hear your orders."

"... Let's go, let's go and take a look."

Mrs. Shen hurried out, the look of shock still on her face.

Shen Qiyin was not too surprised.

Shen Cang was rejected by her yesterday, but he will not give up. Instead, he will target the next person.

And that person is Shen Mengyin!

A father who allowed his daughter to force her biological mother to death, and a daughter who listened to her father and forced her biological mother to death. In this family... no one would let her down.

Shen Qiyin got the news while sitting at home, so one can imagine how the news spread outside.

Inside the Eagle Pavilion.

Xiao Yan was kept overnight in the palace by His Majesty yesterday and played chess all night. After leaving the palace today, he heard Feng Liu talk about what happened in the Shen family yesterday.

When he heard that Taoist Jingming was holding Shen Qiyin hostage with a dagger, his eyes suddenly darkened and he interrupted Feng Liu in a cold voice: "Where is Lu Shan?"

Feng Liu blinked: "... at the Shen family."

The spies they planted in various mansions would not come to the pavilion easily and would stay in the mansion all day long.

Seeing Xiao Yan's frown getting tighter and tighter, Feng Liu finally understood what he meant and quickly explained: "Lu Shan was not in the room at the time, so he failed to rescue Miss Shen in time."

"But Miss Shen is smart and wise, and has made preparations. Even without our help, she can still get out of danger on her own."

Xiao Yan pursed his lips and said in a cold voice: "I see you are not short of money, why don't you just not collect your salary this month?"

"what?!"

Feng Liu felt like the sky was falling!

But then he thought again and felt that something was not right. His family had never been stingy with money, and deducting salary had never happened before.

Feng Liu was such a smart man that he had an idea as soon as his eyes turned, and he immediately understood that his master had something else in mind.

He has no shortage of money, but the adults cannot refuse to give it to him.

By the same token: Miss Shen is capable of protecting herself, but you can’t fail to protect your master!

After realizing this, Feng Liu couldn't help but take a deep breath and immediately said, "I will send a message to Lu Shan right away, asking him to protect Miss Shen."

Xiao Yan then retracted his chilly gaze and said, "Double Lu Shan's salary and deduct it from my monthly salary."

Feng Liu: “Yes!”

He just said that their masters have never been stingy with money.

They all love him!

"Oh, sir, there is one more thing..." Feng Liu recalled the news sent back by Lu Shan and frowned, "Lu Shan said that Miss Shen did not sleep very late last night and went to the pavilion to stay for a while in the middle of the night."

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows: "Then?"

"And then?" Feng Liu shook his head blankly: "Nothing happened. I just stood in the pavilion for a while, and then went back to sleep."

"After she left, Lu Shan went up to take a look, but there was nothing special about it."

"I left nothing behind, and I took nothing away."

It was for this reason that Lu Shan felt it was strange and wrote it down as if it were an important matter and sent it back to Qiying Pavilion.

After hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes turned deep and he was silent for a moment. He then said in a cold voice, "Send a message to Lu Shan and ask him to keep an eye on him to see if Shen Qiyin will go there at this time tonight."

"Yes."

Feng Liu delivered the message to Lu Shan as instructed.

For several consecutive days, the answer was the same.

Every night at the end of the hour of Hai, Shen Qiyin would go up to the pavilion.

Sometimes alone, sometimes with Honeysuckle.

He didn't say anything or do anything, he just came there, took a look and left.

Lu Shan was really curious about why she came here in the middle of the night, so every time she left, he would stand in the pavilion and try to find some clues.

You know what, he actually discovered a clue!

That was the red lantern hung at the gate of Aunt Zhou's courtyard. Sometimes two were lit, and sometimes only one.

Apart from this, there is no other difference.

Lu Shan tasted it carefully. There was no regular pattern as to whether one or two lanterns were lit. It had nothing to do with the day or the number of days between each light.

He clearly only ordered one yesterday, but today it became two. Just when Lu Shan thought that his guess was wrong, Shen Qiyin, who had been silent for several days, finally made a move!
