The legitimate daughter is reborn and the fake Bai Lian is completely panicked

The door of Qingfeng Courtyard was pushed open, and Shen Li was covered in scars, with messy hair, shivering and huddled in the corner of the bed.

Seeing Shen Mi coming in, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Mi'er."

Shen Mi slowly approached her and saw that her fingers were bloody from the torture in prison.

There were whip marks on her back. She bit her pale lips and held Shen Li in her arms with her whole body trembling.

"Sister, don't cry."

"Don't be afraid, Mi'er believes you."

In a trance, she seemed to be back to the time when she was in Yishui, when she was seriously ill and Shen Li also held her in his arms.

"Mi'er, my sister is here."

Unfortunately, Shen Li used to be a lively and cheerful girl, but because her marriage was snatched away, she became depressed and her health deteriorated day by day.

Shen Li lowered her head and smiled bitterly.

"Mi'er, Daddy is gone."

Shen Mi picked up her bloody hand with an expressionless face.

"Sister, Daddy is gone, but I still have two brothers and me."

"I believe in my sister. She won't poison my father. Don't worry, I will make those people pay with blood."

"I will pay them back a thousand fold."

Bringing the medicine box, she applied the medicine to Shen Li gently and carefully.

Several bones in Shen Li's fingers were crushed.

When Shen Mi touched her lightly, Shen Li screamed in pain and shrank back unconsciously.

Shen Mi felt really uncomfortable and couldn't bear to watch it, so she gritted her teeth and bandaged her wounds.

"Don't worry, these fingers will recover in a few months."

But it’s hard to say whether it can be as beautiful as before.

Shen Li watched Shen Mi bandaging herself and sniffed.

"It's my sister who is useless and is a burden to you."

"I am your elder sister and I should protect you, but I always ask you to take care of me."

"Mi'er, you are right. As long as you have Shen Feng and Shen Yu, our Shen family will be here."

Shen Mi bit her lips tightly, lowered her head and nodded slowly.

She didn't dare to look up at Shen Li, fearing that she really couldn't help crying again.

Just as Shen Li had applied the medicine on her fingers, Shen Feng and Shen Yu walked in from outside.

Shen Feng walked forward with red eyes.

"Sister... they actually tortured you."

Shen Yu also walked to Shen Li's bed, and looking at Shen Li's current appearance, he felt so distressed that he was about to cry.

"Sister, it's Yu'er's fault for not being able to protect you."

Shen Li pursed her lips, not wanting them to worry. "Yu'er, Feng'er, you go back first."

After Shen Mi helped Shen Li lie down, she turned to look at Shen Feng and Shen Yu.

"Brother, you guys go back first, sister needs to rest."

Shen Yu wiped his tears and looked at Shen Mi. "Why did Sister let him out suddenly?"

Shen Mi sighed, "Sister had no motive to kill. The Yanjing government office had insufficient evidence, so Sister was released. This was His Majesty's intention."

"Now, my father's body is still warm, and my sister is not feeling well, so she has to stay in Qingfeng Courtyard."

"Tomorrow, I'll ask Yunlan to come and protect Sister."

Shen Mi pursed her lips and walked in front of Shen Feng.

"Brother, I hope you can be more careful at all times and not be schemed against by others."

"It's getting late now, and the funeral hall still needs someone to guard it. Sister needs to rest."

Shen Feng and Shen Yu took a deep breath, feeling a little sad when looking at Shen Li lying on the bed, but they remained silent and left Qingfeng Courtyard.

The news that Shen Li had returned to the Shen Mansion soon spread to Old Madam Shen and Lin's courtyard.

Old Madam Shen sat in front of the couch, with a lot more white hair on her temples.

After Marquis Pingyang passed away, she worried about the Shen Mansion more than anyone else.

Nanny Wang came in from outside and walked up to Old Madam Shen with some heartache.

"Madam, the young lady is in prison and has been tortured badly. This old servant feels sorry for her when he sees her."

"The young lady used to be the one who cared the most about us servants, but now she has been tortured like this..."

Nanny Wang subconsciously looked at Old Madam Shen's expression.

Madam Shen sighed, "Tomorrow, find someone to investigate privately the source of this Chuanchang Powder poison."

"Spend some money and go ask at any of the pharmacies in Yanjing City."

"In our Shen family, the person least likely to kill Yuan'er is the eldest daughter."

Nanny Wang nodded, "I don't believe that the eldest girl would kill the master. The eldest girl is usually the most docile and would not do such a thing."

Madam Shen's eyes were cold, "When Yuan'er got into trouble, this second girl disappeared for several days inexplicably. I'm afraid this matter is not simple either."

"If anyone dares to cause trouble to our Shen family, I will personally have someone feed her the Chuanchang Powder in its entirety."

"Send some people to bring some supplements to the young lady so that she can take good care of herself."

Nanny Wang nodded, "Yes, old lady."

At this moment, in the private room of Huayuan Courtyard, Lin was lying on the couch, gently stroking her belly with her hand.

He said calmly, "Why did this young lady come out?"

Dong Xiang said, "Madam, I heard that it was His Majesty's will. His Majesty ordered the release of the people."

"Your Majesty?" Lin frowned.

"Your Majesty, why would you care about a sick girl from the Shen family?"

Dong Xiang shook her head: "I don't know about that. The news from the Yanjing government office said that His Majesty's people ordered the release of Miss Shen."

"Now, the eldest lady has returned to the Shen family safely, and the Zhang family's eldest son was punished and imprisoned in the Zhang family for saving her."

"Madam, if Master Zhang wants to cancel the engagement by force, then Miss Third..."

Lin raised her eyebrows and sneered, "How could the Zhang family allow Shen Li to come in?"

"Even if she is released, the bad words in Yanjing will spread to everyone's ears, and she will be charged with the crime of killing her own father."

"However." Lin snorted coldly.

"It's a pity that she wasn't allowed to marry Prince Xin."

"Some other day, after the master is buried, I will go to the old lady and ask her to marry Shen Li off as soon as possible, and not to delay my Shu'er's marriage."

……

The funeral at the Shen Mansion lasted for one or two months, and it was a busy one or two months.

The Shen family did not return to peace until Marquis Pingyang was buried.

Jiang Xuan was caught in an emergency battle at the border and did not have time to return.

The Shen family has a deep financial foundation. Their ancestors left behind many silver and money shops, enough to support their ancestors for several generations.

In addition, the Shen family's title is hereditary, so even if Marquis Pingyang is gone, the title will still be retained. The Shen family is considered a noble family in Yanjing City.

On the second day after Marquis Pingyang was buried, Old Madam Shen ordered all the letters and some books in the study to be burned.

Shen Mi naturally knew that this was the prince's intention.

My father was a retainer of the prince and had been plotting with him for many years. Naturally, the prince was afraid that some things would be exposed.

What a pity, my father never thought that because the Fourth Master was soft-hearted once, the Crown Prince would want to kill him.

……

It was summer, and Shen Li's yard was full of flourishing flowers and plants.

The sunlight came in through the window and fell on the bed.

Shen Mi brought in the best tonic soup, placed it on the table, and helped Shen Li up.

"Sister, eat something to replenish your body."

Shen Li slowly propped herself up, her breath was still very weak, and her fingers were still wrapped in gauze.

Shen Mi changed her medicine several times before her condition slowly began to improve.

She looked at Shen Mi, "Mi'er, have you made any progress on the poisoning?"

Shen Mi said: "I roughly guessed who was behind this incident, and I have sent someone to investigate the evidence."

"Don't worry, sister. I will definitely clear your name and won't let you be wrongly accused."

Shen Mi scooped a spoonful of soup and fed it to Shen Li.

"Just take care of yourself, the Shen family will not be without you."

"kindness."

After Shen Li drank all the tonic soup, she looked at Shen Mi who was taking care of her, and she reached out and grabbed Shen Mi's sleeve.

Shen Mi was slightly stunned, and saw Shen Li looking at her with red eyes.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Li choked up and said, "Now that Daddy is gone, do you still hate him? Do you still hate him for sending you to Yishui?"

Shen Mi remained silent.

Shen Li continued: "In fact, Daddy loves you the most."

"He visits you secretly every year."

"Not long after you were born and sent to Yishui, you disappeared for no apparent reason. Your mother also passed away for no apparent reason."

"Father endured the pain of his beloved wife's death and searched everywhere for you."

"He used the excuse of a southern tour to look for you, and was poisoned on the way."

"Every year he would go out to look for you under the pretext of various official duties."

"Do you know what kind of torture he went through during those years?"

Shen Mi was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Sister, why can't I remember some things?"

Shen Li said: "Mi'er, when Daddy and Uncle found you, you were already seriously injured."

"But, during the four years you disappeared, Daddy also went to look for you."

"Afterwards, after you came back, Daddy was absent-minded all day and he secretly visited you many times."

"It's not that he doesn't love you or care about you."

Shen Mi's eyes were red as she helped Shen Li sit down.

"Sister, I don't blame him."

Shen Li nodded and held Shen Mi in her arms.

"As a parent, who doesn't want their children to be well? You don't know how much they have paid for their children."

"I've seen him cry and go crazy in order to find you and his dead mother."

"That was the first time I saw Dad cry like that."

Shen Mi felt a sour feeling in her heart, and she choked up and said, "Sister, I didn't blame him, but I didn't protect Dad either."

The two sisters talked a lot in the room, and Shen Mi examined Shen Li attentively.

She also asked the maid to replace the flowers and plants in the room.

It was not until noon that footsteps were heard outside the door.

Qinghe came in from outside.

"Miss, the old lady said that there are guests at home."

"Let the eldest and second young ladies go out for a while."

Shen Mi sat in front of the bed, frowning slightly, "Guests? What guests?"

Qinghe looked a little anxious.

"It seems he is a distant relative of the eldest lady's family. His surname seems to be Wu, and he is a young man."

Shen Mi frowned slightly and put the medicine in his hand on the table.

"Surname Wu?"
