Shen Ning wished that Shen Shu and Shen Yu would disappear from this world. She had killed people before, but the only one she killed personally was Shen Ming. However, she had killed many people by borrowing others' knives, so she was not a kind person.

But no matter how much she hated Shen Shu and Shen Yu, she couldn't bring herself to kill them.

If she could kill anyone with a knife without any psychological burden, then is she still a human being?

But if she doesn't kill them, they will definitely become trouble for her.

Although Shen Shu was driven out by her to fend for herself, she never underestimated Shen Shu's charm in attracting men. She even had a hunch that Shen Shu would definitely escape from exile and then stand in front of her in a glamorous and beautiful manner.

Although this had never happened in the previous life, it was very reasonable when it happened to Shen Shu.

Shen Yu is a male of the Shen family, and she cannot expel him from the family like she did to Shen Shu.

After thinking it over, I decided to just tie him up and throw him back home. It's annoying just to see him dangling in front of me.

Over there, Shen Yu went to find Wei Congwen and asked him to save Shen Shu, but Wei Congwen said nothing and ignored him at all.

Shen Yu was so angry that he started cursing, but he had no power and was young, so facing such a thing, he was only helpless and furious.

He kicked the trees on the roadside angrily, then was knocked unconscious and thrown into a carriage and dragged away.

Shen Ning was so annoyed by their noise that he simply went to the manor to take a look at this year's crops.

The bulk of the Shen family's income does not come from collecting rent from tenants, so the rent from Shen Ning's land is cheaper than that of others. As long as the rent is paid on time, he will help those who encounter difficulties. Therefore, these tenants are very grateful to Shen Ning.

The simple farmers were full of gratitude but had nothing valuable to give, so they planted all kinds of fruit trees in the empty corners of the fields. Once the fruits were ripe, everyone tacitly agreed not to move them and had to send someone to invite Shen Ning. They would then divide the fruits among themselves after Shen Ning had picked out the rest.

Shen Ning comes here three times a year to see the flowers in early spring, eat the fruits in late summer, and harvest the crops in autumn.

Not once was it unwelcome.

Shen Ning’s favorite thing is to walk in the fields with a basket, pick a few fruits he likes, and taste them together to see if they are as good as last year’s.

When I went to the mountain, I saw trees full of peaches. They were not ripe, but crisp and delicious.

Liuying sighed: "The fruits in our farm are still delicious. The ones bought outside don't taste this good."

Shen Ning felt that she was right, and lowered her head to continue picking peaches and plums, which she was going to give as gifts.

Of course, Du Yunzhi and Princess Changle also had a part in this. Shen Ning originally wanted to invite them to come along, but they were too busy to enjoy the fun. Shen Ning could only pick the sweet fruits for them to taste.

Shen Ning first sent the fruit back and stayed in the farm for several days before returning to the city.

They set out very early and were in no hurry. The carriage went slowly back. There were many merchants and civilians on the road, and occasionally there were troops of officers and soldiers passing by.

As it got closer to noon, there were fewer people on the road.

Shen Ning had seen enough of the scenery and was feeling a little sleepy. At this moment, a horse jumped out of the woods and rushed straight towards Shen Ning's carriage.

Mo Lin rushed over, grabbed the reins, and tried hard to turn the horse's head.

The horse felt pain and turned in another direction, quickly running away, but a man fell off its back and fell heavily to the ground.

When Shen Ning saw that face, his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Go ahead, help him up."

Two servants helped to carry the man up. Shen Ning quickly closed the curtain and said to Mo Lin with a serious expression: "Go at full speed. As long as you don't overturn, run as fast as you can!"

Mo Lin never questioned Shen Ning's words, especially since Shen Ning obviously knew the person who was helped into the car.

If she wanted to save someone, he would naturally help.

"drive!"

The reins were swung heavily, and the carriage started to run quickly. Shen Ning was thrown heavily against the wall of the carriage, and the person who had just been helped up also fell into her arms.

"Miss!"

Yuzhu and Liuying almost couldn't sit still. They grabbed the window sill with one hand and tried to help Shen Ning pull people away with the other.

"Don't touch him."

Shen Ning steadied himself and endured it even though his back was scratched by the carriage.

The person who was rescued lay unconscious in her arms. She would never mistake this overly well-behaved boy's face.

The prince was tied to a horse and rushed out of there, obviously he was assassinated.

Shen Ning inspected the area and saw no wounds, but the prince was unconscious.

"Qin Yan, Qin Yan, wake up!"

She tried to wake the man up, but he suddenly opened his mouth, spat out a mouthful of blood, and then fell heavily on Shen Ning.

Fortunately, his head was tilted, otherwise he would have definitely spit on her.

It looks like the injury is to the internal organs and is serious.

Afraid that he would be shaken and his injuries would be aggravated, Shen Ning could only hold him tightly in his arms.

The carriage kept shaking, and Shen Ning forced himself to stay calm: "You two get off the car immediately and walk away from us. Find a way to get back to the caravan quickly and ask for help from Qin's mansion."

Yuzhu quickly shook her head: "I want to follow the young lady."

Shen Ning said sternly: "This is an order. You must survive and find someone to rescue me, okay?"

The two looked at the person who was hugged tightly by Shen Ning, and didn't understand why Shen Ning was so nervous.

Shen Ning didn't want to explain, but if he didn't explain the seriousness of the matter now, they wouldn't be able to tell the severity of the situation.

"This is the prince. I have to save him if I meet him. I can't be separated from him. Otherwise, if he dies in my hands, all nine members of the Shen family will be buried with him."

"Someone wants to kill him. There must be pursuers behind him. The two of you are not obvious targets. Go separately and notify Qin Zhuo to rescue us as soon as possible. Remember not to let anyone see anything unusual. Also, don't trust anyone other than Qin Zhuo and the people you know around him. Got it?"

Liuying and Yuzhu's faces turned pale with fright. They realized the seriousness of the situation, so they didn't say anything extra and got off as soon as Mo Lin's carriage stopped.

The carriage sped away, and both men's legs went limp with fear.

After looking at each other, Yuzhu tightly grasped Sister Liuying's arm and cried, "Sister, how far do we have to go before we can find Dad?"

Liuying calmed down, patted her hands, and the two walked forward together: "It's almost there, we'll soon reach the city gate. Dad has been getting medicine for Mom for two days and hasn't come back yet. If we wait any longer, Mom will almost die. We must find Dad today."

Yuzhu: "Woo woo, did something happen to Dad?"

Liuying: "Don't talk nonsense, Dad must have been delayed by something."

The two sisters had pale faces and comforted each other as they walked. Their chatter made people understand why they were here.

Someone wanted to take advantage of them with ill intentions, so the two sisters said that their father was a yamen runner in Shuntian Prefecture. He had asked for leave to go home because his wife was seriously ill. He went back to get medicine, but he didn't come back for two days. He must have encountered some trouble. Their mother's illness could not wait, so they were in a hurry to find someone.

They begged the caravan members to take them for a ride, and they would be grateful to them if they could find their father.

Although these sisters look lovely, if their father is really from Shuntian Prefecture, people would be cautious and dare not act recklessly.

After some discussion, the two of them actually got on a caravan and went to the city with them.

Halfway through the walk, we heard the news that a carriage had overturned on the road below, and both the people and the carriage had fallen into a ravine.

Liuying and Yuzhu held each other's hands tightly to hold back their tears.

Liuying said with difficulty: "We will definitely find the person."

Yuzhu: "She will wait for us."
