The night is rich.

After Yunlan left, Shen Mi hid her mother's dowry in the cabinet, planning to give it to Shen Li after Shen Shu's coming-of-age ceremony.

She sat in front of the bronze mirror, looking at herself in the mirror, feeling as if she were in another world.

In her previous life, she and Murong Che didn't have much interaction.

She is the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace, and he is Prince Rui.

He was like this in his previous life, which is scary.

She tried desperately to escape in this life, but was entangled with him again and again.

But Shen Mi knew very well that Murong Che was Yu'er's biological father in the previous life.

If she wants Yu'er to be with her again in this life, she can only continue to be entangled with Murong Che.

She even had an idea in her mind that she only wanted the child, not Murong Che.

After thinking for a moment, Qinghe came in with hot water, smiling.

"Miss, don't you want to choose clothes?"

Shen Mi sat in front of the bronze mirror, frowning slightly.

"Clothes? What clothes?"

Qing He smiled and said, "Tomorrow there will be the Lantern Festival. The noble ladies and young ladies from the wealthy families in Yanjing City will all go to the streets to watch the lantern festival."

"There are lantern riddles and couplets."

"Speaking of which, every year after the Lantern Festival, it is the third young lady's birthday."

"In a few days, it will be the Third Miss's coming-of-age ceremony. I guess the Lin family will discuss the marriage between the Third Miss and Prince Zhang on the day of the ceremony."

"I just heard from the housekeeper that the master and the old lady have been discussing the matter of finding a husband for the eldest daughter."

"What? Sister?"

Qing He nodded, "Yes, the eldest lady's marriage."

Shen Mi's hands suddenly tightened, and a feeling of uneasiness surged in her heart.

Shen Li's heartache was caused by Zhang Huaian.

If Shen Shu married Zhang Huaian, and Zhang Huaian became Shen Li's brother-in-law, Shen Li would probably be helpless.

She must find a way to expose the affair between Shen Shu and the prince to everyone.

We must also find a way to get Shen Shu and Yongchang Marquis's family to cancel their engagement.

Qing He nodded, put the hot water in front of Shen Mi, and said, "Miss, do you want me to prepare clothes for you for the Lantern Festival tomorrow?"

"The Lantern Festival in Yanjing City is very lively every year. I heard that many young masters from aristocratic families in Yanjing City will go there on that day. Maybe you can meet the man you like."

Shen Mi looked at Qinghe who was talking with relish in front of her and saw the little thoughts of this girl.

She smiled and said, "Yes, you want to go?"

Qinghe pursed her lips and spoke a little embarrassedly.

Shen Mi was helpless: "Forget it, I'll take you there tomorrow night, it's okay to join in the fun."

Qing He said happily: "Thank you, Miss."

Only after helping Shen Mi finish washing up did Qinghe happily leave the room.

After watching her leaving, Shen Mi gently blew out the candle on the table and went to bed.

In a trance, she entered a strange dream.

In the dream, a young man's voice sounded softly in my ears: "Girl, close your eyes, brother will take you home."

After the boy's gentle voice fell, his scream was heard immediately.

The voices of many strange men around me came into my ears.

"You want to take the little girl away by cutting off one finger? You are not worthy. You need to cut off two fingers...hahahahahaha!"

"You can keep using another finger. Just crawl under our crotches. If you crawl under our crotches, we will let you and this little girl go."

The young man gnashed his teeth and said, "You said that if I crawled over, you would let her go?"

"Hahahaha... Look, it's really like a dog, it's really crawling, screw you... hahahaha."

"You dare to attack us, go to hell!"

Fuzzy and confusing sounds echoed in his mind. Shen Mi suddenly opened his eyes and heard the chirping of insects and birds outside.

In the dream, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice.

But no matter what she did, she couldn't find any fragments of this dream in her memory.

Even in the previous life, there was no such thing, but why is this dream so strange?

She was panting, and before she could calm down, Qinghe's voice came from outside the door.

"Miss, it's time to get up."

Shen Mi took a deep breath, got out of bed and opened the door.

Qinghe changed into beautiful clothes today, holding a basin of hot water in her hand, and looking at Shen Mi with a smile on her face.

Shen Mi said helplessly: "You put on this beautiful dress?"

"This lantern festival is at night, Qinghe."

"Could it be that you want to meet a certain young master during the Lantern Festival?"

Qing He pursed her lips and smiled, "Miss, what nonsense are you talking about? I just want to see the lanterns. The lanterns at the Lantern Festival are particularly beautiful, with all kinds of styles. When the time comes, you will know when you go there."

Shen Mi sighed as she washed up, "I've been back in Yanjing for three months, but I've never seen the Lantern Festival in Yanjing City. I want to go see the world tonight."

"Go to your closet and pick out some nice clothes. We'll go to the Lantern Festival tonight."

Qinghe nodded, "Yes, Miss."

At noon, Shen Mi went to Shen Feng's yard.

When the door opened, Shen Mi saw Shen Feng lying on the bed, still unable to move. A faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

Seeing Shen Mi's expression, Shen Feng endured the pain and sat up from the bed, looking at her with gritted teeth.

"Shen Mi, why are you smiling so mysteriously? Have you done something good again?"

Shen Mi coughed twice: "Brother, I just have some good news to tell you, do you want to hear it?"

Shen Feng said angrily: "What good news can you have?"

Shen Mi sighed and walked in front of Shen Feng.

"Brother, do you know what happened in Yichunlou?"

"I heard that Li Niang eloped with a gigolo."

"You said that Li Niang was innocent and naive, but now you are being treated like a fool and you are being robbed of so much money for nothing."

Shen Feng's face turned red with anger: "Who told you that Li Niang eloped with someone else?"

Shen Mi said calmly: "If you don't believe me, ask the guards to find out whether Li Niang eloped with the pretty boy."

"Brother said that Li Niang was a girl with a miserable life, but little did he know that she had cheated you out of your money and used it to support her gigolo."

Shen Feng clenched his fists in anger, "Shen Mi, you are talking nonsense, how could Li Niang... "

Shen Mi said: "It's up to you whether you believe it or not."

Shen Feng glared at her fiercely, "If you hadn't asked Dad to beat me so hard that I couldn't get out of bed, how could Li Niang elope with someone else?"

Shen Mi shrugged and stood up from the chair: "If I were Li Niang, I would also choose a pretty boy."

"I heard that the pretty boy is extremely handsome and is also the son of a rich family."

"He only stayed for seven days, but Li Niang fell in love with him. On the contrary, you, my brother, lost all your money, which is not even one ten-thousandth of what he got."

Seeing that Shen Mi was getting more and more outrageous, Shen Feng got so angry that he got up from the bed and was about to pounce on Shen Mi.

Shen Mi dodged sideways, and Shen Feng lost his balance and fell directly to the ground.

Several guards came in, helped Shen Feng up from the ground, and sat him back on the bed.

Shen Feng said: "Shen Mi, just wait..."

Shen Mi rolled her eyes at him and said sarcastically, "At this point, brother still doesn't know how to turn back. You are really blinded by greed."
