What the emperor absolutely cannot tolerate is corruption, let alone such a huge corruption case. If she is really implicated, it will not be just her who will die, but the entire Shen family.

Shen Ning hated this family, but she wanted to take revenge on her own instead of being framed and endangering everyone's lives.

An unprecedented fear struck Shen Ning's heart. He was extremely anxious and trembling all over.

She forced herself to stay calm, she had to stay calm. She was thinking about how she could get out of this situation, who could deal with King Zhao, and who could save her.

The flash of red I saw at the shooting range today flashed through my mind.

In just a moment she grabbed it.

The Queen, the Crown Prince, Qin Zhuo...

Defeated general of King Zhao.

Is the prince destined to lose to King Zhao? Not necessarily. In this life, King Zhao has lost the Ministry of Revenue and an arm. If others know his ambitions in advance, it is still unknown who will win.

There are three forces competing for the throne in the future: Prince Zhao, the Crown Prince, and the prince born to Concubine Han. Concubine Han is Han Yin's aunt. Shen Ning would never defect to the Han family, and Prince Zhao is forcing her to do so. Her only way now is to become the Crown Prince.

If Qin Zhuo can help her get through this disaster, it is not impossible for the Shen family to offer half of their earnings as tribute in the future.

Although they said Qin Zhuo was terrible, Luo Wanxia was pursuing Qin Zhuo and wanted to marry him, but she was not seeking love between men and women. She was working for Qin Zhuo. As a subordinate and a woman at that, she would not be chopped to pieces by him.

But it's still not right.

Shen Ning felt that her thoughts had reached a dead end. She must have missed something or overthought something.

Assuming that what she thought was the truth, King Zhao found out that Li Shaobai had met her, and knew that the Shen family's farm was next to the Liu family's farm, and even directly suspected that she was involved.

By the way, Li Shaobai said these cases might be related to her father’s death.

Shen Ning: ...Could it be that King Zhao also suspects that she wants to find out the cause of her father's death and avenge him?

Ah this...

He is obviously her biological father, but she feels that these people are more positive than her.

She felt guilty because she revealed the matter of the gold bricks to Li Shaobai. Could it be that King Zhao felt guilty because her father's death was related to him?

Otherwise, why did they choose her when there were so many scapegoats? So her father's death was really a problem?

Let’s not talk about who her father is for now, let’s focus on the present.

If King Zhao really thought so, she was just a woman and there was no way she could bear such a serious crime as corruption. Even if she was exposed, she could not withstand the investigation of the Dali Temple. Even if she directly exposed King Zhao, wouldn't he be exposed as well?

As of now, he doesn't seem to have any chips that can threaten her.

Just as I was thinking this, Mo Lin came in hurriedly: "Miss, the young master is missing."

Shen Ning suddenly turned around and was about to ask, but Mo Lin handed over an envelope: "This is on the table in the young master's room."

Shen Ning opened it and found it was not a threatening letter but a house deed.

But this is threatening enough. Isn’t the Liu family’s house obvious enough?

She was just wondering what King Zhao would use to threaten her, and now he had captured Shen Yu.

Yes, in the eyes of the world, she is the eighteen-year-old Shen Ning, who cares about her family and loves her younger brother and sister. Similarly, she would not know King Zhao’s plan and his relationship with the Zhang family and Jinbao Tower.

If everything she did was to find out the cause of her father's death, then she would definitely not care about the life and death of the only male in the Shen family.

But Shen Ning still didn't understand what he was doing?

Let her really do business?

The money she earned was enough to support her family, but it was just a drop in the bucket and not worth mentioning when it came to supporting an army and building up power.

Therefore, King Zhao's original intention was not to let her make money, but to take her life.

But what is puzzling is that her life is worthless and her status is too low for her to bear the crime.

Hmm... not right.

She knew that she was outnumbered, but was there a possibility that King Zhao didn't know?

In the past two years, she has been building up her network of contacts, contacting her father's old friends, and also getting in touch with the power of Li Shaobai. Above Li Shaobai is Prime Minister Luo.

Uh...could it be that in King Zhao's eyes she is quite powerful?

King Zhao threatened her with the Jinbao Tower and kidnapped her brother. She couldn't make money and make friends immediately, so what should she do? Of course, she asked for help.

He went to ask for help with the land deed given by King Zhao.

King Zhao sent a spy named Tao Ji to stare at her, making her think that it was only Tao Ji who was staring at her, and maybe there was someone else watching her in secret.

As long as she asked for help, King Zhao would use some tricks to have the people from the Dali Temple catch her red-handed.

In this way, King Zhao's crisis was resolved and his opponent was eliminated at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.

Could this be the truth?

But if this guess is wrong, Shen Ning doesn't know what else he can guess.

Those in power are always cunning.

Shen Ning had thought of everything he could think of, and he felt that he had done his best. If he couldn't guess right, then he could only admit that he had bad luck.

As for Shen Yu, well, it would be better if King Zhao helped her kill him, so that she wouldn't have to hate him but not be able to do it.

So, what is she going to do now?

Shen Ning was at a loss.

She didn't care about Shen Yu and didn't want to ask anyone for help for him. She also didn't want to work for King Zhao. If she really attracted people from the Dali Temple, she didn't want to visit Shen Ming in prison.

But she couldn't just do nothing.

If King Zhao thought that she was in the same group as Li Shaobai and Prime Minister Luo, then she would not get close to them. With this in mind, Qin Zhuo became her option again, but not as inevitable as before.

Shen Ning had already sensed the danger, so he naturally couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

King Zhao took the initiative to show up to see her, to shock and threaten her, but it also meant that he didn't take her seriously.

He was certain that even if she knew his identity and wanted to deal with him or slander him, it would be like a gnat trying to shake a tree and would not hurt him at all. And for him, destroying her was as easy as killing an ant.

If she didn't save herself, she might really be close to death.

Shen Ning sighed.

After finally counterattacking Shen Shu, Wei Congwen, and Liang Zhuo's family, they unexpectedly ended up getting into even bigger trouble.

Life is so hard, but when I think about the money in my pocket and my healthy body, I instantly feel motivated again.

Mo Xueer came in with a pillow, put it on the couch, tidied up the place for sleeping for the night watch, and then came close to Shen Ning.

"Miss, sleep?"

Shen Ning stared at her face for a long while, then asked in confusion: "Have you gained weight?"

His previously handsome and small face now seems to have become a lot rounder. His fair and tender skin coupled with his innocent eyes makes him look very cute, just like some kind of animal.

Mo Xueer didn't think that gaining weight was a bad thing. She pinched her cheeks and the pork belly on her stomach, and was very surprised.

"I've gained weight. I'm gaining weight."

Shen Ning also smiled and reached out to pinch her cheek, which felt very good.

"It's better to be a little fatter, it looks so cute."

Mo Xueer squatted in front of her obediently, like a well-behaved cat slave, enjoying the stroking of her fur.

Shen Ning felt comforted. Although Mo Xueer was mentally retarded, she was so well-behaved and obedient that Shen Ning did not regret saving her at all.
