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

Tao Ji was tied up until midnight, and finally she couldn't help but took out a hidden blade and cut the rope.

The rope left bruises on her body, and she grimaced in pain.

Just as she was hesitating whether to stay or leave, the door opened.

Miss Shen, who had not slept late at night, stood at the door in a purple dress, with her hair disheveled and a cold expression. However, there was no trace of sleepiness in her eyes, as if she had been waiting for her for a long time.

It was a bit like the look that scared her to death that night.

I have to say, there's something a little weird about this Miss Shen.

Tao Ji gave in and sat down helplessly, rubbing her sore wrist weakly.

"Young lady, why did you come to see me in the middle of the night?"

Shen Ning didn't come in, he just put down a lunch box and left.

Tao Ji walked over and opened it. There was steaming food inside and a bottle of medicine next to it.

Tao Ji: “…” Miss, are you giving someone a sweet reward after giving them a good reward?

But he is still willing to coax her, it seems that the eldest lady doesn't hate her that much.

The next morning, Yuzhu felt deeply resentful towards Tao Ji who came to the table to eat.

Why did the young lady let this person go? Not only did she let her go, but she also let her have dinner with her.

So angry! !

Tao Ji deliberately picked up some food for Shen Ning: "Miss, try this."

Then he pointed at the steamed dumplings in the distance and said, "Miss, can you help me pick up that dumpling? I can't get it."

Shen Ning ignored him without even raising his eyebrows.

Tao Ji: Tsk, the young lady is becoming more and more aloof.

Yuzhu was proud. It turned out that the young lady still hated her. Humph!

After breakfast, Shen Ning went out and took Tao Ji with him.

Shen Ning brought people to the teahouse next to Jinbao Tower, ordered tea and snacks, and looked at the ruins of Jinbao Tower where a big pit had been dug.

"did you see it?"

Tao Ji: "What did you see?"

Shen Ning pointed at the pit and said, "There is only one pit here. What kind of business can be done in a pit?"

Tao Ji: "How should I know?"

Then she saw Shen Ning reaching out to her: "What?"

"Pay the money." Shen Ning counted on his fingers: "Material costs, labor costs, decoration costs, purchase costs, etc. For such a large place, it will cost at least several thousand taels of gold. When will you pay?"

Tao Ji glared: "You still expect that person to give you money?"

Returning several thousand taels of gold, is this making money from business? This is losing money.

Shen Ning: "What else? A good cook cannot cook without rice. What kind of business can you do without money?"

Tao Ji was speechless. She thought Shen Ning was not scared, but at least she should be frightened. However, looking at her current state, she seemed to have adapted well.

"Go ask him for it yourself. I can't ask him."

Shen Ning took out a paper bag and opened it. He reached out and poured the powder inside into Tao Ji's cup. He picked up the teapot next to him and added some tea to make the powder mix more evenly.

Tao Ji widened her eyes: No, nowadays we can drug people so openly?

"What's that you got?"

Shen Ning smiled gently: "Arsenic, which do you think is harder, asking King Zhao for money or drinking this cup?"

Momohime: ...Why make things difficult for her?

Shen Ning pushed the teacup towards her.

Tao Ji left, Shen Ning went out from the back door of the teahouse, entered from the back door of Cangyuxuan, and went straight to the third floor.

Li Shaobai has a skill in jade carving. Normally, if there is no urgent matter, Li Shaobai will stay in Cangyuxuan to carve jade.

Seeing her appear, Li Shaobai was very surprised: "Why are you here?"

Shen Ning sat down and handed him the deed: "Take a look at this first."

Li Shaobai passed it over suspiciously, and after reading it, his face changed: "Where did you get it?"

Shen Ning: "Yesterday, King Zhao met me and asked me to run these three shops for him. He also kidnapped my brother."

Li Shaobai frowned for a long time, somewhat unconvinced: "How could it be King Zhao?"

Apparently, King Zhao was still hiding very deeply at this time, and had not been noticed by outside forces. Even when Li Shaobai took action before, it was probably just because of party disputes, and he did not expect that it would involve King Zhao.

Li Shaobai calmed down and asked: "How can you be sure it is King Zhao?"

Shen Ning: "I met King Zhao once before, and he admitted it himself."

Li Shaobai: "This is a bit strange. If King Zhao is really involved in these things, why would he show up so easily?"

This is also what Shen Ning found strange, but Shen Ning would not make a mistake in that person, it was definitely King Zhao.

Then Shen Ning thought of the Thousand-Faced Ghost Fox's ability to disguise himself as anything, and couldn't help but wonder, could this King Zhao be disguised by the Thousand-Faced Ghost Fox?

But Tao Ji always admitted that it was King Zhao.

Going through so much trouble to deceive her?

Li Shaobai remained skeptical, but he also believed Shen Ning's words: "The corruption case involves too many people, and the Dali Temple has not yet completely closed the case. If it is really related to Prince Zhao... he will come to you. I am afraid that I alarmed him when I was investigating the case before, and he suspected you."

Shen Ning: "What about me that he would doubt? Could it be that he did something shameful and is feeling guilty?"

Li Shaobai fell silent for a moment.

Shen Ning smiled: "I don't quite understand, in the eyes of Young Master Li, am I a smart person or a stupid person."

"When you're angry, you think I have the ability to blow the whistle. When you're not angry, you think there are some truths that a woman like me shouldn't know. Master Li, you look down on me."

Li Shaobai's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Shen Ning deeply: "That's not the case."

"Ms. Shen is smart and sharp, and her courage and boldness are no less than that of men. It is precisely because I admire you that I cannot bear to see you getting into trouble."

After saying that, he wanted to take the deed: "Leave this matter to me, I will also find a way to help rescue your brother."

Shen Ning quickly snatched it away: "I appreciate Young Master Li's kindness, but I still have to handle my own affairs myself."

Li Shaobai said solemnly: "Shen Ning, if that is really King Zhao, you can't afford to offend him."

No matter how low-key Prince Zhao was, he was still the emperor's son.

Shen Ning asked back: "Who in the capital can I afford to offend? Not to mention King Zhao, I dare not say that I am equal to Master Li and Master Ye. Even a scum like Wei Congwen looks down on me."

"I am just a woman. As long as I am not married and have no husband, I have no status in your eyes. I am just an ant that can be crushed at will."

Shen Ning clutched the box and said, "I came to see you today just to tell Master Li about this matter. As for what Master Li wants to do, I can't help you, and what I want to do has nothing to do with you."

Li Shaobai was a little anxious: "The Jinbao Tower is now a cancer. Whoever offends it will die. By then, even if Ye Feiyan and I join forces, we won't be able to save you."

Shen Ning was quite touched. At least Li Shaobai's first thought was to save her.

But she is not alive to hide under someone else's wings and wait for someone to rescue her.

Storms are scary, but after the storms there is renewal and vitality.
