After the eldest sister of the wronged family was reborn, she created a whole family of ungrateful p

After three rounds of drinks, they sang and danced.

The only ones who can play the piano here are Shen Ning and Ye Feibai. Forget about playing together, Shen Ning consciously keeps a distance from his future brother-in-law.

Ye Feibai obviously thought so too, and the two of them simply played a song each.

Ye Feibai's piano skills are amazing, and it seems that he is just showing off his skills in front of Du Yunzhi, so he just plays any song that is difficult.

Shen Ning was the opposite. He only remembered three songs in the past two days. Not only were they simple, but he also forgot the tune and played them in a disjointed manner.

Unfortunately, everyone was enjoying the song, singing and dancing happily around the campfire. Only Ye Feibai, the only one who understood the tune, felt so nervous listening to it that it was like torture.

"Knock, knock, knock! Open the door! Open the door!"

The sudden knock on the door interrupted the liveliness in the yard. Everyone stopped, looked at the door, and then looked at Shen Ning.

The air was filled with the crackling sound of burning flames. Shen Ning's fingertips lightly brushed the strings of the zither: "Open the door."

The manager of Zhuangzi went out to open the door, but before he could ask anything, a group of soldiers with knives rushed in, shouting in a menacing manner, "Don't move!"

After he stopped everyone and made sure that everything was alright, all the officers and soldiers split into two sides. Then the guards seen during the day came in with their heads held high. A black carriage could be vaguely seen parked at the door. It was the same carriage seen during the day.

The leading guard had a stern face and waved his hand: "Search!"

The officers and soldiers instantly dispersed throughout the village and searched everywhere.

The guard looked at everyone and asked, "Who is in charge here?"

Logically speaking, Shen Ning is the owner of this manor, but she is a girl after all.

Ye Feibai's status is higher than Shen Ning's, and he is a man. He takes Du Yunzhi into consideration, weighs the pros and cons, and feels that he should stand up himself.

A piece of clothing brushed past his side, and he paused when he realized who it was.

"Aning..." Du Yunzhi was so anxious that she wanted to reach out and pull her, but after hesitating for a moment, Shen Ning walked over.

There is no ordinary citizen who is not afraid of soldiers and officers, let alone those who look so intimidating.

Shen Ning stood in the middle, straightened his sleeves and bowed slowly: "Shen Ning of the Shen family greets you, sir. I wonder what brings you here so late at night?"

The guard leader looked at Shen Ning for a few times, then said coldly, "The palace was robbed. Someone stole the Crown Prince's treasures. We are here to track down the thieves."

Shen Ning's heart sank and he sighed: As expected, overwhelming wealth may not always bring disaster, but troubles will come quickly.

The mansion was not a big building, so the search was completed quickly.

"Report, sir, there is nothing unusual."

The guard commander raised his hand, and all the officers and soldiers stood on both sides. He turned and walked towards the carriage: "Master, there is no problem here."

A slender finger slightly lifted the curtain. Although it was unclear in the darkness, Shen Ning could feel a strong and extremely dangerous gaze falling on her.

A lazy voice came from inside the car: "Were you the one who played the piano just now?"

It sounds young, mature and low-pitched, yet somewhat unruly, like a cheetah patrolling its territory, seemingly nonchalant, but actually able to attack at any time.

Shen Ning: "My Lord, it is me."

"continue."

"?"

Shen Ning is a man who has seen a lot of ups and downs. He doesn't understand, but he doesn't ask.

"As ordered."

Under Du Yunzhi's worried gaze, Shen Ning walked back to his seat and sat down. He raised his hand, took a deep breath, and plucked the strings of the zither.

The music started, but it was not as cheerful as before. However, it did dispel some of the tense and terrifying atmosphere.

The fingertips with the jeweled ring tapped lightly on the window. The carriage slowly moved forward, leaving a sentence in the air: "Boring."

The team left, but Shen Ning still finished playing the song. When the last note fell, it seemed as if everyone's hearts, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

Some people's legs went weak and they just collapsed to the ground: "I was so scared. With so many soldiers surrounding me, I almost thought I was going to die."

After this scare, everyone lost interest in singing and dancing, and went back home. In the end, only Shen Ning and three others were left.

Du Yunzhi grabbed Shen Ning's hand: "How dare you just now? You scared me to death."

There is no shortage of dignitaries and soldiers at the feet of the emperor. Soldiers can be seen patrolling every day, and occasionally nobles with grand ceremonies can be seen.

But there is a huge difference between watching the excitement from afar on the street and a group of soldiers rushing towards your house, okay?

Watching people being beheaded in the vegetable market is exciting, at most you may feel scared and have a nightmare, but if the knife is placed on your neck, that is fatal.

Shen Ning said calmly: "If you stick your head out, you'll get a knife. If you don't respond, then you'll be guilty even if you're innocent."

If someone who is truly powerful wants to hold you accountable, you can't escape by simply keeping silent.

Du Yunzhi was still terrified: "Those were the people we met in the afternoon. Who was sitting in this carriage? Those officers and soldiers all listened to him."

Shen Ning looked at Ye Feibai: "It would be more accurate to ask Mr. Ye this question."

Under the gaze of the two, Ye Feibai clutched his folding fan and remained silent for a moment before speaking: "I had some guesses in the afternoon, and it was not until he spoke just now that I could confirm that this person is probably... the young uncle of the Qin family."

The name "Little Prince Uncle" became a household name.

The current queen is from the Qin family, and the only one who can be called the emperor's uncle is her younger brother, who is from the same mother.

Below the royal family, there are eight great families, each of which is extremely powerful. Among these families, there are always some idle and unemployed young men.

No matter how arrogant and wasteful those playboys are, they are not even a bit inferior to the one from the Qin family.

Other playboys are just greedy for pleasure, flirt with beauties, have affairs with prostitutes, and indulge in sex; this playboy fights, treats humans as beasts, and beats people for fun when he is in a good mood, but when he is in a bad mood, he takes the token to do the work of confiscating houses, and listens to music while doing so.

He was arrogant, domineering, violent and lawless, and was once the nightmare of all the playboys in the capital.

Fortunately, he was not able to be arrogant for a few years. Five years ago, he accidentally killed someone and was nearly beheaded. It was the Queen Mother who knelt with the Phoenix Seal in her hands for a day and a night to save his life. He was then exiled to the border and never returned since then.

Shen Ning knew that this person would come back, and he saw him from a distance twice later, so he was able to guess his identity.

The reason why Ye Feibai could recognize it was because he was once a victim.

Du Yunzhi: “…” This is too scary.

Who doesn't know the evil reputation of the little prince's uncle? Five years ago, she was only thirteen years old, but he had already done countless evil things and even killed people with his own hands.

Did they just go to the King of Hell?

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Shen Ning waved his hand, trying to drive away the oppressive atmosphere: "Do you want to drink or not? If not, go back and wash up, and leave early tomorrow."

Don't stay here for long!

Du Yunzhi: "No more drinking. Who can drink this?"

Everyone had lost interest and was about to leave when the door that had just been closed was knocked again.

"Knock, knock, open the door!"
