"If you need any help, tell your grandmother as soon as possible."

"She will definitely help you."

"As for Shen Li..."

Lin sneered and placed the food box on the table beside her.

"I'm afraid that Li'er won't live much longer."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Shu frowned and looked at Lin in disbelief.

"Mother, what do you mean?"

Lin said: "Zhang Huaian is obsessed with Shen Li. If you marry him, I'm afraid he will also miss Shen Li. How can mother allow it?"

"The day before your coming of age, the King of Qi came to me privately and asked me to help him marry Shen Li."

"Mother has reminded him intentionally or unintentionally that if he wants to marry Shen Li, he has to make it a done deal."

"There is a concubine in the Qi Wang Mansion who is very cunning. The former Qi Wang's wife Wen Wan died because of her. The Qi Wang dotes on her to no end."

"If Shen Li marries into Prince Qi's mansion, it will definitely put an end to Zhang Huaian's thoughts. Maybe she will die in Prince Qi's mansion and no one will know."

"In this Shen family, Shen Li and Shen Mi are the most difficult to deal with."

"As for Shen Feng and Shen Yu, they have long been raised by their mother to be useless people. It is easy to control them."

Shen Shu smiled and said, "Mother still has a way."

"Shen Mi didn't want to stay in Yishui, but insisted on going back to Yanjing City. I'm afraid she will never come back."

"Her grandfather and grandmother are just merchants. Even though uncle Jiang Xuan won the battle, so what? He is thousands of miles away and cannot protect them."

"Grandmother is resentful of Shen Mi because of Grandfather's death, and she doesn't like her."

This is exactly what Lin thought.

As long as Marquis Pingyang died, Jiang's children would have no one to support them, and their life and death would be entirely in her control.

Madam Shen is old now, and in the future, the Shen Mansion will not be run by her, the wife of the Marquis.

Thinking of this, Lin looked at Shen Shu and said, "Shu'er, you better go back safely. Mother will find a way."

Shen Shu nodded, "Yes, mother, then your daughter will go back first."

After Shen Shu left, a maid appeared in front of the door carrying a basin of hot water.

"Ma'am, is there anything I can do for you?"

At this moment, Lin's eyes were cold.

"These few days, I asked you to inquire about the matter between Prince Qi and Shen Li. How is it going?"

Dongxiang walked in and placed the hot water in front of Lin.

"These past few days, I have secretly inquired and found that the King of Qi has indeed been harassing the eldest lady."

"It's just that the young lady was afraid that others would find out and ruin her reputation, so she didn't dare to tell anyone else."

"She seems displeased with the King of Qi, and her attitude is very firm."

"The King of Qi has tried to courteously court her many times, but has been rejected by the eldest lady. I guess the King of Qi is getting impatient."

"Yesterday, I told him privately that the young lady might have to leave the house tomorrow and buy some things to pay tribute to the late lady."

"Let him seize the opportunity and also remind His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi."

"I think the matter will be settled tomorrow."

Lin looked calm. She slowly propped herself up and placed her pair of jade feet in the basin of hot water in front of her.

There is a hint of cunning in a pair of turbid eyes.

"As long as Shen Li doesn't marry into the Qi Wang Mansion, Zhang Huaian will never forget her."

"Only if she marries the King of Qi will Zhang Huaian give up."

Dongxiang pursed her lips and smiled as she washed Lin's feet: "Madam, by the time the eldest lady and the King of Qi have settled their relationship, the eldest lady will have to marry even if she doesn't want to."

"This King of Qi doted on his concubine to no end. The former Queen of Qi said that she died of illness."

"But I have inquired privately and found out that Wen Wan was actually harmed by the concubine of the King of Qi. Her health deteriorated day by day and she finally passed away."

"But the King of Qi kept this matter a secret, and even the Ningyuan Marquisate didn't know about it. They thought Miss Wen died of illness."

Lin sat in front of the bed with a strange look on her face.

She said quietly: "Although Shen Li is sick, she is a smart person."

"If you are a smart person, you will block my way at any time."

……

The next day, the morning light was dim in Lanyue Courtyard.

When Shen Mi woke up, she heard birds singing in the yard.

She got up from the bed, pushed open the window, and saw Qinghe and Yunlan walking to the door with hot water.

The door was pushed open with a creak.

Yunlan and Qinghe came in from outside and closed the door.

The moment the two saw Shen Mi, they looked at each other and then burst out laughing.

The two people's smile made Shen Mi a little confused.

"What are you laughing at?"

Yun Lan covered her mouth and laughed, then walked in front of Shen Mi.

"Miss, what happened to your lips?"

"lip?"

Shen Mi frowned slightly. She felt a little pain in her lips when she woke up today, but she didn't look in the mirror.

She walked towards the bronze mirror and saw that her thin lips were slightly swollen in the mirror.

"How could this be?"

"Miss...hahaha." The two girls almost laughed to death.

"Let's go get you some ointment."

Shen Mi pursed her lips, and her face suddenly turned red when she thought of what happened in the Pepper Palace last night.

Last night, Murong Che kissed me very hastily, so...

She pursed her lips slightly: "It's not that swollen actually, don't laugh at me."

Yun Lan asked, "Miss, what happened to you? Why is your lip swollen for no reason?"

Shen Mi looked at herself in the mirror with serious eyes.

She said calmly, "I think I was bitten by a mosquito yesterday."

Yun Lan raised her eyebrows and smiled: "This mosquito is really something, why is it biting Miss's lips."

"If you want to bite anywhere else, bite my lips."

Qinghe brought the ointment and applied it carefully to Shen Mi.

Yun Lan walked over, took out the one hundred taels of silver from Shen Mi and placed it on the table.

"Miss, we are going to Bai Xiao Tang today. Are you sure this hundred taels is enough?"

Shen Mi nodded: "Well, keep this money first, going to Bai Xiao Tang is very important to me."

"This concerns one person, and also my sister's life and death."

Yun Lan frowned: "It's about the life and death of the young lady?"

"Could it be that the information we inquired about at Bai Xiao Tang is related to the eldest lady?"

Shen Mi said: "It's not my sister, it's the person with the heart."

"Let's not waste any more time. Have you packed your things?"

Yun Lan nodded, "I've packed everything and am waiting for the young lady to leave."

"it is good."

The master and servant packed their things and changed their clothes.

Shen Mi took out a purple veil and put it on herself before going out.

The two of them had just walked out of the gate of Lanyue Courtyard and were about to go to the side door when they saw Haitang, the maid beside Shen Li, running in with red eyes.

"Second Miss, something happened to the eldest lady."

"Your Highness Prince Qi...he."

Haitang paused, looked around, walked to Shen Mi's ear, and whispered, "Your Highness Prince Qi, take the young lady away."
