Qiu Yu didn't expect that Shen Yan would suddenly ask her, and she was a little embarrassed to say it.

"Qiu Yu, I have the ability to protect you now. Didn't you choose me just to borrow my power? If you don't tell me the truth, how can I help you achieve your goal?"

Shen Yan asked, "Why are you afraid of He Zijun?"

Qiu Yu looked surprised, and Shen Yan continued, "You were hiding from him in the palace today. Didn't you go the wrong way just now? You met He Zijun, right?"

"Miss, I didn't hide it from you on purpose." Qiu Yu knelt down, her eyes already red.

"Get up and talk." Shen Yan said.

Qiu Yu stood up and slowly told her secret.

"I originally had a happy family, with my parents and a sister. My sister was very beautiful, and it was because of this that she was targeted by He Zijun."

"He Zijun ignored his sister's resistance and forcibly took possession of her. The slave's parents went to ask for an explanation. Instead, He Zijun ordered someone to beat her up and she became ill."

"Sister slave thought that she had dragged my father and mother down, so she committed suicide by hanging herself from the rafter out of guilt. I was so angry that I went to report it to the official. Unexpectedly, the stupid official got a benefit, saying that my father and mother had framed He Zijun, and directly gave my father and mother to him. Beaten to death."

After Qiu Yu finished speaking, she burst into tears and her voice trembled.

"What does this matter have to do with the eldest princess? Why did you appear in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Shen Yan asked.

"The slave had no home, so he sold himself to the Prime Minister's Mansion. The slave did not dare to go to He's Mansion for fear of being recognized by He Zijun. He Zijun and the Prime Minister's Mansion are relatives. The slave believed that one day he would be caught in the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"When we arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, I overheard that the ignorant official who beat my parents to death had received orders from the eldest princess. It was He Zijun's mother who begged the eldest princess."

"I hate He Zijun and the eldest princess, so I have been trying to please the eldest princess, hoping to get her favor, and then find opportunities to take revenge on her. Finally, I have waited for you. Miss, you are the first person I have ever seen. A person who dares to confront the eldest princess."

"Miss, I admit that I came here with a purpose in the beginning. Later, you treated me very well, and I followed you wholeheartedly. I have bad intentions at first, please punish me."

Qiu Yu knelt down again.

"Get up, don't kneel down at all times." Shen Yan looked at Qiu Yu, "At a young age, you are brave and resourceful. Yes, you can follow me with peace of mind from now on. I will definitely avenge you, but not now. You have to wait for the opportunity. Okay ?"

Qiu Yu was overjoyed and said, "Yes, of course."

She directly kowtowed to Shen Yan three times, "Miss, from now on this slave's life is your life, go through fire and water, no matter how hard you die!"

While the master and servant were talking, the news that Shen Yan had transformed from the most useless person in the capital to the most talented woman had spread throughout the capital.

At the same time, Shen Qingqing also became everyone's favorite topic of conversation after dinner.

Shen Qingqing has returned from the palace, and Rong Yue is with her.

She told Xiaoyun to call the second lady.

The second lady had already learned from Shen Lan that the queen wanted to check Shen Yan's post.

When she arrived in front of Rong Yue, she knelt down and cried, "Empress, I didn't do it on purpose, I just forgot. Please forgive me, Empress, I will never dare to do it again."

Rong Yue looked serious, "The Empress said that this is your first offense and you have a good attitude in admitting your mistakes, so I will punish you ten times. You have acted unfairly and are not worthy of being in charge of the central government. Do you agree to hand over the power of the housekeeper to Miss Shen?"

The second lady had no choice but to obey. It was important to save her life. "My wife obeys the order. Thank you very much, the Queen, for sparing my life."

In order to rectify Shen Yan, she caused Shen Lan to lose her performance opportunity and lose face.

She herself also lost her rights as a housekeeper and was beaten. If these ten were beaten, she would not be able to get out of bed for three to five days.

Moreover, if she is punished like this by the Queen, she will become a joke among the ladies in the capital and will never be seen again.

Thinking of these painful costs, she felt regretful. She should not have maliciously harmed Shen Yan.

After punishing the second lady, Rong Yue returned to the palace to resume her life.

"Second Miss, you are so smart. You reported to the Empress about the Second Madam holding onto the eldest miss's post, in exchange for the rights of steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion." Xiaoyun said with a smile.

After Shen Qingqing woke up in Kunning Palace, she truthfully told the queen what the second lady had done.

"What are the rights of a housekeeper? They are worthless compared to the title of the most talented woman in the capital. But now, only by obtaining the rights of a housekeeper can I better deal with Shen Yan."

Shen Qingqing remembered what the man in black said to her a few days ago. With the help of the man in black, she would be able to put Shen Yan to death.

"Shen Yan, if you don't make it easy for me, I won't make it easy for you! Either you or I will die!"

Grand Master's House.

Fu Yijun sat in a dark room, recalling the entire process in the palace today.

As she thought about it, the chill on her face grew stronger, and her hands unconsciously grasped the armrests on both sides of the chair.

At this time, the maid came in with food.

"Miss, it's time to eat." The maid put down the food and lit the lamp.

"No appetite." Fu Yijun's voice was unhappy.

"It's all that Shen Yan's fault. Isn't it better for her to be the number one loser in the capital? Why do you and Miss come to compete with you for the position of the number one talented woman in the capital?"

The maid complained, "Miss, you have been preparing for today's performance for so long, but now the plan has come to nothing. I don't know when your wish will be realized, miss."

"If you are not as skilled as others, you will be convinced if you lose." Fu Yijun said.

"Miss, what will you do in the future? After all, the Grand Master..."

"Zhizhi!"

"Miss, please forgive me, this slave is wrong!" Zhizhi raised his hand and slapped himself hard twice.

"Next time, I'll die!" Fu Yijun's whole body was filled with chills, and his voice was as cold as a thousand years of ice.

"Yes, miss." Zhizhi's voice was trembling.

"Get out!" Fu Yijun shouted, "You are not allowed to come in again without my consent!"

Zhizhi rolled and crawled out of the room.

Fu Yijun looked at the food beside her, picked up her chopsticks and ate it in big bites, crying while eating. By the end of the meal, she didn't know whether it was the food that was salty or the tears that were salty.

She smashed the chopsticks directly on the ground, with a fierce look in her eyes and a ferocious smile on her lips.

"Shen Yan, you'd better not stand in my way. People who stand in my way kill people, and Buddhas who stand in my way kill Buddhas! Those who stand in my way will not survive!"
