“Yes, miss.”

In less than a moment, Bai Lu was called into the room.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Shen Shu staring at him with strange eyes.

She immediately knelt down and said, "Miss, these days, the Second Miss's yard has been guarded by someone, so I can't go in."

Shen Shu said: "Can't get in? If you can't get in, find a way to get in."

"Your Majesty's birthday banquet is coming soon. If it delays our business, how can you afford it?"

"No matter what, you have to take out the mandarin duck purse you mentioned in the next two days, or I will make you suffer."

Bai Lu trembled slightly and nodded slowly: "Yes, Miss."

Shen Shu put down the hairpin in her hand and gritted her teeth and said, "I must find a way to marry that bitch Shen Mi to the old man's mansion of Prince Xin."

"She caused my mother to be punished and sent to a side hospital, and she also designed for me to be punished by my father. I will settle these accounts with her one by one."

"It's just a beautiful appearance, what's so great about it."

"I'll let her know what the price of having a pretty face is. It's to send her to hell."

……

In the side courtyard, Lin was lying on the couch. After hearing the maid's report, she suddenly stood up from the couch.

“What did you say? She came back alive?”

The maid Dongxiang nodded, "When the second young lady came back, she was safe and sound, and she was not injured at all."

Lin said angrily: "She is so stubborn. If I had known that we were in Yishui, I should have sent more people to kill her. Now, let her come back to mess up the entire Shen Mansion!"

"She has lived well every year in Yishui for so many years. I really wonder."

The maid Dongxiang walked to Lin's side, picked up the dishes and chopsticks on the ground, and whispered: "Madam, now in this side courtyard, the master has never come here once."

"If I can't get pregnant again, I'm afraid it will be too late."

"You and the master had sex last month. If it was later, even if the lady was pregnant, it would have aroused the master's suspicion."

Lin sat on the chair, clutching her sleeves tightly, looking outside the room with gritted teeth.

The sky was so dark that she felt uneasy.

She didn't want to stay in the side yard, she didn't want to die alone in this place forever.

She tapped the tabletop lightly with her fingers, a sinister look on her face.

"Of course I know what to do."

Her eyes changed slightly, "Why, I always feel that Shen Mi's heart seems to have changed now."

"She doesn't look like Shen Li, nor does she look like the Marquis. Could it be that she is not a child of the Shen family?"

"She was raised in the countryside and only came back once when she was nine years old. Could it be... there is something wrong?"

The more Lin thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Shen Mi's appearance was largely different from that of Jiang's children.

Shen Mi was extremely beautiful, especially her eyes. Just one look from her could capture a man's heart.

Although, the news of this being the most beautiful woman in Yanjing was deliberately spread by Shen Shu.

However, if you were to pick out any other noble lady from the aristocratic families in Yanjing City to compare with Shen Mi's appearance, no one could compare to her.

It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the most beautiful woman in Yanjing City.

She turned her head and looked at Dong Xiang, and said coldly: "Send someone secretly to the countryside to find out about Shen Mi's affairs in the countryside."

"I always feel like something is wrong."

"This little bitch is always calm and composed, but I don't know what bad ideas she is planning in private."

"Yes, ma'am." Dongxiang stood up and brought hot water to Lin.

"Madam, if the second young lady becomes the Crown Princess in the future, I'm afraid the Shen family will really have nothing to do with you."

"Moreover, according to the information I have inquired, the prince of Yongchang Marquis's Mansion has frequently mentioned to Madam Zhang that he wants to break off the engagement with Miss Shen Shu. What should the third lady do then?"

As soon as Dongxiang finished speaking, Lin stood up from her chair with a bang. "He dares!"

"This marriage was specially arranged by our two families. How can he cancel it just like that?"

"No, even if it's for Shu'er's sake, I have to leave the side courtyard..."

"Tomorrow, buy me some medicine. I want to get pregnant as soon as possible."

"If that little bitch Shen Mi dares to play any dirty tricks again, her brother and sister will die in my hands."

Her eyes changed slightly, and she said quietly, "As long as I get pregnant with a child, once the master dies, the power to run the family will still fall into my hands, and the baby in my belly will inherit the title in the future."

"When the time comes, whether Jiang's children live or die will be entirely up to me."

Dongxiang knew what Lin meant, "Yes, ma'am."

……

Soon, the three-day deadline for Shen Mi and Bai Xiaotang arrived.

According to the agreement with Shi Yanqing, Shen Mi went to the side door of Shen Mansion to get the news.

The door opened, and a guard dressed in black appeared.

The black-clad guard handed a letter to Shen Mi and said slowly, "Miss Shen, the master asked me to hand this letter to you."

"The two letters that the young lady asked to deliver were also delivered to the Minister of War and the wife of Ningyuan Marquis."

Shen Mi took the letter, and the black-clad guard turned around and disappeared through the side door of the Shen Mansion.

In the room of Lanyue Courtyard, the letter was slowly opened, and what came into view was the news about Su Xun.

Now Su Xun is on his way to the imperial city to take the exam, carrying the hatred of his family being exterminated.

This may also be the reason why he wants to enter the officialdom.

Unfortunately, in his previous life, Su Xunguang was so passionate that he became the prince's disciple.

As for Su Xun's younger brother Su Rong.

Shen Mi turned to the second page of the letter, which contained information about Su Rong's whereabouts.

The letter contained a very detailed record of Su Rong's facial features, current identity, where he lived, and even what job he did.

Shen Mi held the letter paper and frowned slightly when she saw Su Rong's message.

"After the Su family was wiped out, five-year-old Su Rong was abducted and escaped. He entered the Great Yan Palace three years ago. Because he offended the imperial concubine, he was demoted to the palace. Every day, he would do hard labor and sweep the floor in the most remote Beiyuan of the palace. He is now twelve years old."

Shen Mi put down the letter and her eyes changed slightly.

"No wonder Su Xun wanted to enter the government, just to save his brother from leaving the palace?"

It is not easy for slaves in the Ye Ting to leave the palace.

After all, some slaves were sent to the Ye Ting as punishment because they made mistakes in the imperial palace.

If he could find a way to rescue Su Rong, take him as a slave and make him come to the Shen family, he would be able to subdue Su Xun.

By then, even if the prince took a fancy to Su Xun, it would probably not be easy to recruit such a talent for his own use.

In the room, Shen Mi sat in front of the window, holding a chess piece in his hand, looking at the chess board in front of him, his brows never relaxed for a moment.

How could she rescue a slave from the palace?

Her slender hands gently stroked the chess pieces on the board. She closed her eyes and finally picked out useful values ​​from the scattered memories of her previous life.

In the previous life, half a month later, it was His Majesty’s birthday, and envoys from the neighboring countries of Great Yan would come to Yanjing City.

These included the countries of Li, Beili and Nanjiang that came to Dayan.

He came to Liguo with the intention of marrying the third princess Murong Qing.

In the previous life, the third princess married to the country of Li. On the surface, it was a marriage of peace, but in reality, she became a pawn for the country of Li to contain Dayan.

The third princess was married off to Liguo and died there not long after.

Bei Li came this time to do silk business with the Dayan Dynasty, which is beneficial to both countries.

Shen Mi was deeply impressed. At the birthday banquet of His Majesty, the Great Yan Dynasty lost the bet and not only lost face, but also had to fulfill its promise and marry the third princess to a prince of the Li Kingdom.

Shen Mi placed the black piece on the chessboard.

She frowned. It would be great if she could rescue Su Rong through this birthday party.

In the previous life, during the chess game, Li Guo designed to marry the third princess.

In this life, she will take the opportunity to get the medicine that can cure the emperor's illness from the envoys of the Li Kingdom.

But Shen Mi knew that if she wanted to successfully use the emperor's birthday banquet to rescue Su Rong, she had to enter the palace legitimately and contact Su Rong without being noticed by others.

……

The sky gradually darkened and a light rain began to fall.

Spring has just passed in Yanjing, and early summer is coming.

The flowers in Shen Mi's courtyard were in full bloom. After the spring, only a few of the flowers were left to wither.

There was a rustling of drizzle, bursts of spring thunder, and the air was filled with the scent of flowers.

Raindrops fell on the windowsill, and some fell on the chessboard. Shen Mi got up, closed the window, turned off the light, and went to the bed.

Until the second half of the night, the thunder stopped and the rain stopped.

The air was mixed with the scent of grass and soil. A gust of wind blew into the house, directly pushing open the window embroidered with cloud patterns and carved with peonies.

Shen Mi was lying on the bed and had just fallen asleep when she felt something enter the room.

She opened her eyes suddenly and saw a big white tiger coming in through the window under the dark light.

"Bai Ze? Why are you here?"

Before Shen Mi could figure out what was going on, the big white tiger jumped to the bedside, licked its paws, and looked at her with its round eyes.

It was like a big cat, guarding her side.

"No, Bai Ze, I'll be scared if you do this."

"You are a tiger, not a cat. You stay by my bed, and I..."

Bai Ze didn't understand what she said, but he was very well behaved.

Because it was night, it did not roar loudly and attract unnecessary people.

Shen Mi couldn't figure out the situation. At this moment, in the dark night, next to her bed, there was a white tiger sleeping that could eat people at any time.

The big white tiger lay on the ground, licking its paws and looking at her.

What does the Fourth Master mean by letting this big white tiger monitor her?

Seeing that Bai Ze didn't leave, Shen Mi had to get out of bed carefully and walked tremblingly to Bai Hu.

She squatted down beside it and looked at it carefully.
