After being reborn in the Mass Grave, she overturned her predecessor's power

The Shen family's lights were brightly lit at night, and the guards inspected the residence.

Shen Tingsi, who lived in the small courtyard, was also woken up. The room was extremely dark, damp, cold and uncomfortable.

He slowly fumbled and sat up, shouting hoarsely, "Peace."

"Hey."

Heping rubbed his hands and walked in, quickly lighting the candle. The charcoal in the brazier in the corner has been burned out.

"Tomorrow, I'll ask the steward for it. Master, your body can't stand the cold now."

Shen Tingsi nodded absently. It had been a long time since he sold his body to such a miserable life.

The reason for driving him back here this time was that he had embarrassed the Shen family at the banquet.

"What's going on outside?"

"I heard there was a thief in the house..."

Shen Tingsi stood up slowly, opened the curtain and went to the study room next to him. Ping An followed him holding a candle.

The simple study was instantly illuminated, and there was a sachet on the desk.

Shen Tingsi frowned, "Did you let it go?"

Ping An put the candle in the candlestick and looked at it carefully, "Where did this slave's purse come from? I didn't put it in it."

Shen Tingsi sat down with difficulty holding on to the table, tapping his fingers lightly on the table with a confused expression.

"Dong dong dong dong, open the door!"

There was a rude knock from the guard at the door. Ping An ran over to open the door. Shen Tingsi grabbed his purse and hid it in his wide sleeves.

The guard came in and took a look around. There was nothing interesting about the two shabby rooms, and he quickly left with a cold face.

Ping An said angrily, "He's just a servant, his eyes have reached his forehead."

Shen Tingsi said, "I want to drink hot water."

"Master, please wait, I'll boil it right away." Ping An quickly went to the door, where there was a stove to boil water.

Shen Tingsi then looked at the purse in his hand, and he intuitively felt that what happened in the house tonight was caused by this purse.

Who would take such a big risk just to give him a purse?

"Cough cough cough cough cough cough..."

He coughed so hard that he couldn't straighten up, and the wound on his stomach hurt. In the extreme pain, his thoughts became clearer and clearer.

From the moment he was forced to face Jiang Xuening, he entered a dead end, but he had no choice but to move forward.

Half a year ago, the 15-year-old Seventh Young Master was sent away. He looked the same as him and was much younger than him. From that moment on, he could foresee his fate.

Probably earlier, when the Northwest King told him that he should take good care of himself, he had already been abandoned by fate again.

From the domineering and arrogant fourth young master with rich clothes and fine food, he was brought back to his original form of a penniless bastard, just in an instant.

The doctor had long ago asserted that his body, which had been abused too much, would not live to be 30 years old, so he acted recklessly.

Now that he has lost even this qualification, it's time to choose a way to die for himself.

Shen Tingsi thought a lot, and finally slowly opened the purse. There was only one sentence written on the note inside, "Three days later, when you die."

"Cough cough..."

Shen Tingsi coughed up a mouthful of blood. It turned out that there was someone who could see through his situation.

He indifferently put the note on the candle and burned it.

Is this a reminder to him, or a hint?

Is it to remind him that he is going to die, or to imply that he and Shen Jiayu are in trouble?

After all, no one wants to die, but he really has had enough.

"Three days..." he murmured, "I don't have much time left."

After a night of nightmares, Shen Tingsi felt a little dazed after waking up.

Ping An heard the commotion and came in to wait for him to put on his clothes, "Master, what do you want to eat today?"

The money saved before can feed the master and the servant for the time being.

Shen Tingsi took out the bottle hidden under the pillow and poured out two pills that exuded a strange fragrance. Ping An's expression changed drastically, and he held his hand regardless of his dignity, "Master, you don't have to eat this now..."

This is a secret medicine. After taking it, the tolerance will become stronger and you will not feel pain for a certain period of time, making it easier for him to dote on you and make that person happy. Taking too much can cause serious backlash and damage to the body.

"Go tell the third young master that I want to go out." Shen Tingsi said in a deep voice.

Ping An knew that he had made up his mind and did not dare to persuade him further. He went to find Shen Shiyan with red eyes.

Shen Tingsi chewed the pills and swallowed them one by one without water. It was bitter and intoxicating.

He waited for a long time before Shen Shiyan came. After taking a look at him, he found that his whole body seemed to have lost its luster overnight, and he was even a little bit deformed.

"Your injury hasn't healed yet, so you shouldn't go out."

Shen Tingsi smiled and said, "I dreamed about my aunt last night. I felt very uneasy and wanted to worship her."

Shen Shiyan said calmly, "When you recover from your injuries, you will have plenty of time to worship. There is no rush for this moment."

Shen Tingsi curled his lips sarcastically, "Is it really okay?"

Shen Shiyan's eyes flashed and he said nothing. He always knew that the person in front of him was not stupid. Otherwise, among the many people sent out that year, he would not be the only one who successfully rose to the position and persisted all these years.

Shen Tingsi looked up at him, his pale face had a kind of decadent and strange beauty, his eyes were as cold as knives, "You won't agree to this little thing before you use up the last bit of my value?"

"Third Young Master, this is not like your style."

His expression was cold, but there was no complaint at all, only fatigue and relief.

Shen Shiyan said softly, "Being born in the Shen family, sometimes being too smart is not a good thing."

Shen Tingsi laughed softly, "Xiao Yu'er is still here, so I am born as a member of the Shen family and die as a ghost of the Shen family."

That was his sister from the same mother, and she was his only concern in this world.

Having said this, Shen Shiyan finally relented, "Go early and come back early."

This chess piece is of great use to him, since he has seen through his end. Shen Shiyan also didn't want to do too much, lest it would be counterproductive and it would be bad.

Shen Tingsi told Ping An to take the money to the kitchen, and asked the kitchen staff to make her aunt's favorite pastries, and was helped to the outer door.

Before getting on the carriage, Shen Tingsi looked back at Shen Mansion. This was the place where he was born, and it was also the prison that he could not escape from throughout his life.

He is just a caged bird, his wings can be broken and abandoned at any time.

As soon as he left Shen's Mansion, Jiang Xuening quickly received the news.

Jiang Xuening was not surprised. Because of her identity as Princess Chen, she knew a lot of secret things, so she was able to provoke Shen Tingsi to lose his mind.

Likewise, she always felt that anyone who could be so cruel to her would not be a brainless person.

The so-called domineering is just a facade and cannot be fully believed.

Last night's purse was her test. She didn't expect Shen Tingsi to react so quickly.

Jiang Xuening said to Qinghe, "You didn't find me some servant's clothes. I'm going to sneak out later."

She wanted to meet the Fourth Young Master Shen in person, but there should be many eyes watching outside the gate of the palace, so his whereabouts could not be exposed.

Finally, she got mixed up with a group of boys and followed a big steward out.
