Shen Ning met with several managers, spent half a day sorting out the account books, and went out for a walk. Only after he finished his work did he realize that he seemed to have forgotten something.

I caught a glimpse of Yuzhu struggling with a rope. Oh, she had forgotten Taoji.

"Miss, she ran away!!! She just ran away like that." Yuzhu was overwhelmed and couldn't believe it.

"It must be that I am not good enough in my studies."

Yuzhu began to question her skills in tying ropes.

"No, I have to find Brother Mo to learn from him."

It was rare that it actually stimulated Yuzhu's desire to learn.

Liuying frowned: "Miss, are you just going to let her go like this?"

Shen Ning: "Otherwise, just scare her. Killing and arson are not allowed."

Liuying: "The lady hasn't been interrogated yet?"

Tao Ji's origins are unknown, but she insisted on pestering the eldest lady. It is obvious that she is not a good person. Now she can actually break free from the rope and run away by herself, which further proves that there is something wrong with her.

Shen Ning's eyes were deep and distant, "Why interrogate her? Knowing too much will not do us any good."

She didn't want to get involved in things that she couldn't control. She had suffered enough from the incident with the Thousand-Faced Ghost Fox.

Even though she escaped unscathed last time with only minor bruises, if her luck had been a little worse that day, she might not have been able to come back.

The Thousand-Faced Ghost Fox, the Little Prince-in-Law, the Emperor, which one of them is not a cannibal?

Tao Ji is a prostitute in Cuifang Tower, but she has unclear ties with the Yongning Marquis Mansion.

They may think that she knows nothing and her moves are all blatant and without any disguise.

Who would have known that Shen Ning had died once? Even if she was not a powerful person in her previous life, she had experienced the ups and downs of the next ten years. Knowing the general direction, it would not be difficult to deduce the details.

Jinbao Tower is related to the Zhang family of the Ministry of Revenue, which is in turn connected to the Yongning Marquis Mansion, and the real master is behind the Yongning Marquis Mansion.

A prince who was so low-key that he had no sense of existence, seemingly had no chance of becoming emperor and lived in peace with the world, but suddenly took action a few years later and directly wiped out the queen's faction. The prince died, the queen hanged herself, and the young uncle of the Qin family disappeared.

However, he failed to seize the throne and was eventually nailed to death in front of the dragon throne, dying with his eyes open.

Everyone knew about these things, and Shen Ning knew them more clearly because of Shen Shu, but it had nothing to do with her. She didn't want to get involved, whether in the past life or this life.

The struggle for power was bloody.

The emperor, princes, princes and nobles, all of these people were extremely noble and powerful in their lifetime, but in the end they all died at the hands of their enemies, and all their wealth, power, fame and fortune turned to nothing.

And it wasn't just him who died, but the whole family was affected and all nine generations of his clan were killed.

Shen Ning knew his own capabilities very well and only wanted to do business with these powerful people, but he didn't want to seek his own death.

It was definitely an accident that she encountered the Thousand-Faced Ghost Fox that day. She was also willing to believe that being kidnapped and later rescued and brought back by the young prince was an accident, but that might not be the case in the future.

Ever since that day when Qin Zhuo mentioned that the Thousand-Faced Ghost Fox was involved in a rebellion, Shen Ning had a bad feeling.

Tao Ji's appearance made her suspicious, and she just wanted to give it a try, but she didn't expect Tao Ji to escape.

The ominous premonition was about to come true, but she could only turn a deaf ear to it.

As long as she knows nothing, it has nothing to do with her.

Shen Shu is still stuck in the quagmire of the Wei family, so these things shouldn't happen to her.

After seeing off Butler Liang and his family, Shen Ning had a moment of peace, but the second house was in chaos.

The woman who came to see Shen Changlin was called Fang Shiyan. Although she had been a farm wife for many years, she had a good appearance and the skills she learned in the brothel, so it was natural for her to control a man like Shen Changlin.

Her most powerful bargaining chip is that she has a son who looks exactly like Shen Changlin and is well-behaved, sensible and studious.

How could Shen Changlin not know that Shen Ming was a bastard? But he was his only son, and that bastard took after his father.

Men are the most tolerant of other men. Although he thinks his son will have a hard time succeeding, he blames outsiders, fate, and Shen Ning for monopolizing the first house and not helping them.

But now it is different. Shen Ming's rigidity is a foregone conclusion. Although he lost a bastard son, he still has a very well-behaved and intelligent son. He sees hope in this son and naturally loves him very much.

He didn't even need Fang Shiyan's coaxing, he was already thinking about changing Liu Chunsheng's gender in the family tree.

How could his son have someone else’s surname?

But how could Zhao tolerate this? She was almost ready to kill someone with a knife.

After so many days of fuss, she finally realized that her husband had that bitch and a son, and had completely forgotten about her son. He was just waiting for her Ming'er to die so that he could take in that bastard.

And that vixen, is he going to give up her position as the principal wife?

Zhao acted like a shrew for several days, but the more she acted, the clearer she became that the most important thing for her now was to rescue her son.

Only if her Ming'er comes out can she stop that bastard from entering the house and keep her position as the principal wife.

If her son died, she would be finished.

She had only one thought at the moment, which was to save her son at any cost.

It was late at night and Shen Ning was just about to go to bed when Shen Yan came running over crying.

"Sister, please help me, my mother wants to send me away, wuwu............"

Shen Yan was usually well-behaved and obedient, and Zhao never thought that she would run away, so she did not restrict her at all. This allowed Shen Yan to find an opportunity to run to Shen Ning.

Shen Ning was about to take off the shawl but pulled it back: "Don't cry, talk slowly."

Shen Yan kept wiping her tears with a handkerchief, crying pitifully and helplessly: "My mother has already discussed with others and sent me to the Yongning Marquis's Mansion early tomorrow morning. Woohoo, I don't want to be a concubine to that old marquis. Sister said before that you would help me, you must help me."

Shen Ning was very patient at this moment, and waved to her soothingly: "Then come over and sit down, and tell me your thoughts."

Shen Yan sat down and sobbed for a long time before she made up her mind and said, "I want to marry Su Qi. Can you help me, sister?"

Ok?

Shen Ning raised his eyebrows: "Su Qi, this name sounds familiar."

Shen Yan: "Su Qi is my sister-in-law's younger brother."

Shen Ming's late wife's surname was Su. Su's father was a minor official of the sixth rank. The Su family was not prominent in the capital, and there were only a few people in the family, just a couple and a son and a daughter. The daughter died, and now there is only a son left.

Shen Ning searched through his memory and only remembered that he came home twice when his cousin Su Yao got married. At that time, he was just a boy in his early teens, looking thin and frail, but it was so long ago that he could not remember his appearance.

He should be around sixteen now.

"You and him are in love?"

The boy was not very old, and Shen Yan was also young, not even fifteen. Although she was the same age as Shen Yu, there was a half-year difference, which meant she was quite early in becoming smart.

Shen Yan was embarrassed: "I saw him on the street not long ago. He seemed to hate our family, but I would be willing to marry him."

Shen Ning frowned instantly.

"He hates you, but you still want to marry him?"
