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

Shen Mi knew that it was enough to let Zhang Huaian know that Shen Shu and the prince had an affair.

Next, all he had to do was wait for an opportunity to expose the fact that Shen Shu was not innocent, and allow Zhang Huaian to cancel the engagement.

The next day was Emperor Rende’s fiftieth birthday, and the daughters of noble families in Yanjing began preparing early in the morning.

The girls in the Shen Mansion were no exception.

In the room of Lanyue Courtyard, Qinghe took out a water-green dress from the closet and handed it to Shen Mi.

"Miss, how about this one?"

Shen Mi sat in front of the dressing table and took a glance. "It's too plain, and I don't like the color. Let's change it."

Qinghe nodded, put away her clothes, went to the closet, and found a purple and white tulle skirt.

The purple cloud-patterned chiffon, paired with white crabapple and peony embroidery, is light yet not monotonous.

Qing He took it out and handed it to Shen Mi, "Miss, this one, this one looks good and suits your temperament."

"Our young lady, with this face alone, is unmatched in the entire Yanjing City. Why does she need clothes to set it off?"

Shen Mi's lips curled up slightly, "In Yanjing City, there are many noble ladies from aristocratic families. They all have their own strengths. How can we tell who is superior and who is inferior?"

"But beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I am your lady, so you naturally think I am different from others."

Qing He pursed her lips and smiled: "Miss is right. Anyway, in Qing He's eyes, Miss is the most beautiful and no one can compete with her."

Seeing Qinghe like this, Shen Mi felt somewhat relieved.

After changing into the purple brocade gauze dress, Shen Mi's originally fair and tender skin looked even more delicate.

Everyone else thought that she would be spoiled if she was raised in the countryside of Yishui.

Little did people know that the Yi River is very nourishing and has many beautiful women.

Although Shen Mi lived in the countryside, she was the legitimate daughter of a marquisate after all, so naturally she had never done any rough work.

At most, I would work with the pharmacist to decoct some medicine and learn some pharmacology and acupuncture.

He sat in front of the bronze mirror and suddenly remembered that the Fourth Master always loved to wear black clothes, all kinds of black clothes.

Almost every time I saw him, he was wearing black clothes, so I asked tentatively: "Qinghe, why do you think a person likes to wear black clothes?"

Qing He inserted the hairpin in her hand on Shen Mi's head and said with a smile: "Miss, why else can I say that? I like it."

"However, it depends on who is wearing black. If the killer wears black, it is to make it easier to kill people."

"Some young masters also like to wear black clothes, like the Fourth Master. He wears black clothes to hide blood stains."

"The Fourth Master has killed people without hesitation and is bloodthirsty. If he wears light-colored clothes and kills someone and drips blood, it won't look good."

Shen Mi's brows furrowed, and she took a red plum blossom hairpin from the table and put it on herself.

She curled her lips and said, "What's so good about wearing black clothes? I get tired of looking at them after a while."

Qing He smiled and said, "But Miss, the Fourth Master looks very good in black."

Shen Mi frowned. When had Qing He ever said anything good to that villain Murong Che?

At this moment, in Mingxiangyuan.

Shen Shu sat in front of the bronze mirror, took the clothes that Tian Shuang brought, looked at them and said, "Change them. The prince doesn't like red, so change them to pink for me."

"I heard that for His Majesty's birthday, envoys from several neighboring countries such as Li and Beili entered Yanjing City yesterday. I think the palace must be bustling today."

Tian Shuang smiled and said, "Miss, I heard that the five princesses of Li Kingdom are here. These five princesses have always claimed to be the most talented women in Li Kingdom."

"I don't know if they can compare with the talents of the women in Yanjing."

"If Miss can shine at the banquet this time, perhaps the Queen will change her mind and let you marry into the Eastern Palace."

"Although this second young lady is beautiful, she was raised in Yishui since she was a child. How can she compare with our young lady? Our young lady is the most talented woman in Yanjing."

Shen Shu held the pearl hairpin with a faint smile on her lips and a sinister look in her eyes.

"Now, the Queen is only satisfied with the second sister, and has not discussed with His Majesty about marrying her to the Crown Prince."

"What do you think if my second sister were to marry into Prince Xin's mansion before His Majesty grants the marriage?"

Tian Shuang smiled: "Last time, the young lady asked me to take the second young lady's sachet and handwriting, and I have asked someone to send it to Prince Xin's mansion."

"His Royal Highness Prince Xin has seen the Second Miss's appearance and was very satisfied. Now the Second Miss has taken the initiative to use the sachet as a token of trust, and Prince Xin actually thought it was real."

"It all depends on whether Prince Xin will mention the marriage proposal in front of the palace today."

Shen Shu's eyes revealed a hint of sternness, and she said lightly: "This second sister is so lucky, she will be able to marry Prince Xin in the future."

"It would be great if others knew that my second sister had an affair with Prince Xin. That way, the Queen would not want her to become the Crown Princess."

"I'm looking forward to seeing my second sister's performance today."

The women of the Shen family were ready, and several carriages stopped one after another in front of the Shen family.

In order to please Marquis Pingyang, Shen Shu insisted on having a carriage with him.

Sisters Shen Mi and Shen Li got on another carriage, and Shen Yu and Shen Feng took another carriage.

In the carriage, Shen Mi's face was calm, and his mind was full of thoughts about how to rescue Su Rong openly.

Seeing that she was in a daze, Shen Li waved to Shen Mi, "Mi'er? What are you thinking about so absentmindedly?"

Shen Mi came back to her senses and smiled, "Sister, it's nothing. I just feel that time has passed so quickly. It has been so many years since my mother passed away."

Shen Li curled her lips slightly and smiled: "It would be great if mother was still here, but unfortunately things did not go as planned."

"Sister, I heard that people from Li Country and Bei Li will come today. I wonder what the people from Li Country look like."

Shen Li's eyes fell on Shen Mi tenderly.

"The Li people are just like that. Sister doesn't have a good impression of them anyway."

"The Li people have always been cruel."

"Sister heard that the five princesses of Li Kingdom are here."

"Although the fifth princess is born with good looks, she is also an extremely cruel woman."

"You've heard from father that when King Rui was a hostage in Liguo, the Fifth Princess tied his legs and feet with iron chains and locked him in a cage."

As soon as Shen Li finished speaking, Shen Mi's hand suddenly tightened.

"In a cage?"

Shen Li nodded, "Yes, put him in a cage."

Shen Mi frowned, as if thinking of his dream.

In the dream, there was also a young man with eyes full of hatred, his limbs tied with iron chains and locked in a cage.

But the wildness in his body is exactly the same as Murong Che.

At that time, she would take steamed buns and dumplings every day, tear them into small pieces, stuff them into the cage through the gaps, and feed him bite by bite.

The boy was in the cage, skinny from hunger, with hatred evident in his eyes.

At the beginning, when Shen Mi tore the steamed buns and dumplings into pieces and fed them to him, her attitude towards Shen Mi was extremely cold and she even didn't want to pay attention to her.

Gradually, Shen Mi went there secretly more often and slowly became familiar with him.

He also ate whatever she handed him every time and drank the water she fed him.

From behind, those eyes as cold as an ice cave stared at her intently.

Shen Mi looked dazed. She always felt that a part of her memory had disappeared, and the blank memory often appeared in her dreams.

Familiar, yet extremely frightening to her.

Shen Li's voice rang in my ears again.

"The people of Yanjing City were very surprised that Prince Rui could let my father go in Fanlou."

"The torture he suffered in Liguo was far more than this, but he was willing to let the Shen family go."

"Besides, I went to Daddy's study that day and heard the conversation roughly."

"The prince and queen also began to doubt his loyalty."
