I'm reborn, so it's not too much to kill the one who traveled through the book, right?

The old lady didn't ask much about the origin of the fruit.

Shen Rong also saved the trouble of explaining.

If anyone asked, she would still say the same thing she had said to Mrs. Zhou Er before.

Over the years, she has figured out that as long as she doesn't say anything, no one else will be able to figure it out.

Thinking of this, she became a little braver than before.

Zhou Minglang investigated the case quickly. Through Lai Fu, the servant who died in Pingyang Marquis' Mansion, he quickly found Lai Fu's family. The final clue fell on Gong Shixing of the West Mansion.

Lai Fu has a young and sickly younger brother. In order to pay for his brother's medical treatment, Lai Fu sold himself to the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion. His life was good at first, but later on, the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion became worse and worse, and the servants' monthly wages were less than before.

A year ago, Lai Fu's younger brother was seriously ill and needed a large sum of money for treatment and medicine.

All of Fu's monthly allowance has been spent on his younger brother over the years. How could he have any money left to treat his illness?

Just when he was at his wit's end, Gong Shixing discovered the situation of the Lai Fu brothers. He spent some money to hire a doctor to treat Lai Fu's brother.

After Lai Fu's brother recovered, the two brothers were extremely grateful to Gong Shixing, and Lai Fu was even more determined to repay Gong Shixing.

That day, Gong Shixing went to the East Mansion to find Lai Fu under the pretext of delivering snacks to Xiao Chen in the morning. He asked him to find a way to kill Changsheng and promised to help Lai Fu escape from slavery afterwards.

Lai Fu agreed.

Lai Fu took the mace from the abandoned martial arts training hall in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion.

Later, when the mansion was searched, Lai Fu, who had committed murder for the first time, felt that he had no chance of survival, so he borrowed a belt and hanged himself under the beam.

In the end, Gong Shixing was taken away by the officials.

After being silent for many days, Xiao Chen finally walked out of the yard upon learning that Gong Shixing had been arrested. She came to Minghui Courtyard and knelt down in the main hall of Minghui Courtyard.

"Madam, you have watched Minghui grow up, please save him!"

"How do you want me to save you?" the old lady asked in a cold tone.

Little Chen saw the old lady's refusal and begged again, "You are always kind-hearted. Can you bear to watch his life ruined like this? He has already lost his parents. Please have pity on him!"

Even though my cousin did something bad, I still have nothing to say to her.

At the beginning, it was all thanks to her cousin that she, the daughter of a minor official, was able to marry into the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion. She has always remembered the kindness of the Da Chen family.

The old lady frowned and looked at little Chen, the flames in her eyes growing more and more intense.

"What a mess! Changsheng is still lying in bed, why don't you seem to be worried?

Changsheng is your son in name only, he is the Marquis' flesh and blood, and his only heir. If you still have the slightest affection for the Marquis, why would you kneel here today to beg for mercy for your son's enemy?"

Little Chen was shocked when she heard this. Thinking of the care the Marquis had given her over the years, she felt ashamed and said, "Madam, I..."

The old lady interrupted her and said coldly, "You don't have to say anything more. Your cousin is still in prison. She must know better than an old woman like me why you couldn't get pregnant all those years. If you find out the truth about this matter and still want to plead for him, I will go to the Dali Temple in person to ask the adults to release the child."

"Madam...what do you mean by this?" Xiao Chen didn't dare to think too deeply about the meaning of her mother-in-law's words.

The old lady didn't want to talk to this idiot anymore, "Go back and think about it carefully!"

Little Chen was still reluctant to leave and was finally dragged out of Minghui Courtyard by the servants.

Shen Rong didn't expect that this little Chen was so confused.

Since Changsheng was injured, Xiao Chen has never visited Changsheng. Shen Rong didn't care about it. But now this person actually came out to plead for the person who hurt Changsheng. Shen Rong couldn't tolerate this.

It was not until she heard that Xiao Chen was dragged out of Minghui Courtyard by the servants that she felt a little relieved.

The next day, Xiao Chen went to the prison to see Da Chen.

Da Chen was the first to be arrested, but because she was involved in a later case, she was tried several times and realized that what they had done had been exposed.

She was a little surprised to see Xiao Chen coming to see her.

"Sister, why can't I have children in these years?" Little Chen looked at the embarrassed Big Chen and hurriedly asked the thing she least wanted to mention in her heart.

Da Chen smiled. Now that things had come to this, she didn’t want to hide it anymore. “Did the old woman tell you everything?

You can't believe it!

I gave you a sterilizing drug.

That medicine is a secret recipe found by my mother's family, and no other doctor can diagnose it.

I drugged you, but I was still worried, so I used you to drug the Marquis as well. That’s why, no matter how you treated him, you couldn’t have a child.”

Little Chen's eyes suddenly turned bloodshot. She thought about how she and the Marquis had been taking medicine for so long, and how the Marquis's health was ruined because he took too many medicines, and he died early. Little Chen grabbed Big Chen by the collar.

"Why? Why are you doing this?"

In the past, she had often cried to Mrs. Chen about not having children. Now that she thought about it, she was afraid that the man in front of her had often secretly called her stupid.

Da Chen smiled and said, "Why? Don't you know?"

Seeing that she still dared to laugh, Xiao Chen raised her hand and slapped her.

Da Chen, who was already weak from the torture, fell to the ground. "Are you angry, sister? You have helped me a lot!"

Xiao Chen's face changed, "You are talking nonsense, when did I help you?"

Mrs. Chen slowly sat up from the ground. "Hehe...that year you watched the eldest and second sons fall into the water with your own eyes. I don't know if you had nightmares at night. And that idiot, if you hadn't deliberately sent away the servants who went to ask for the doctor, he wouldn't have been burned into a fool. Sister, do you think I'm right? And Aunt Qing...you were jealous of her! Jealous that the Marquis was good to her, so you..."

Little Chen was jealous of an aunt, and Big Chen was even more jealous of her cousin Little Chen.

The man is a marquis, and they have no children, but he is still very considerate to her.

She herself had been used as a knife all her life and ended up with such a fate.

"Stop talking! You are slandering us!" Little Chen shouted and interrupted Big Chen.

Da Chen sneered, "Why would I slander you? If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. Now you have no children, this is your retribution!"

When Little Chen came out of prison, Big Chen's words of retribution were still echoing in her mind.

She fell ill as soon as she returned to the Marquis of Pingyang's mansion, and never mentioned anything about pleading for Gong Shixing.

Xiao Chen was sick, but Shen Rong treated her as a stranger and did not go to visit her.

Although she was nominally the stepmother, she should go forward and greet her out of filial piety, but who could blame Shen Rong for being a country girl who didn't know the rules?

The old lady didn't say anything about Shen Rong's actions.

Although Shen Lianchuan was a doctor, he still refused to treat Xiao Chen.

Although all the things that Da Chen and his men had done were uncovered during the investigation, the cause of Shen Qing's death remains a mystery to this day. Apart from the people from the West Mansion, who else would have attacked Shen Qing? The result is self-evident.

Unfortunately, more than 20 years have passed since the incident, and there is no evidence for those things. Even the old incidents of killing the descendants of the East Mansion would not have involved so many things if they had not been arrested and interrogated on other charges. All Shen Lianchuan could do was not to treat the suspect who killed his daughter.

Changsheng has been in a coma for half a month. Shen Rong had already removed the gauze on his head, and the wound on the back of his head had healed long ago, but he just hasn't woken up.

That day, when the old lady saw that Changsheng had not woken up for a long time, she suggested going to Baiyun Temple to burn incense and ask for a fortune for Changsheng, so that she could feel at ease.

Shen Rong was of course happy to do so, but she couldn't bear to see the tired old man go on such a cold and freezing day, so she advised the old lady, "Old lady, it's freezing outside, and there's snow on the road, why don't you let your granddaughter-in-law take the child with her!"

The old lady thought about it and agreed to Shen Rong's proposal, "Then you should bring all the guards in the mansion with you and be careful."

After a pause, he continued, "As for the servants in your yard, they have caused so many problems. They are all unreliable. You don't need to bring them this time. Just bring Juxiang from my yard. I will make arrangements for the other servants."

There were not many servants in the mansion, and as there were many things going on during those days, the old lady did not rush to punish the servants in Guiyuan.

Now that the matter is over, it’s time for these servants to settle their accounts.

Shen Rong nodded in agreement with the old lady and said, "Granddaughter-in-law will listen to the old lady in everything."

Whenever she had something to do on weekdays, Chun Xing and Qiu Xia would usually be the ones to run around.

As for Mrs. Wu, who was in charge of taking care of the children, she really didn't play any role. Ever since Changsheng got into trouble, the two children have been inseparable from her.

The other two maids were temporarily bought from outside, so they were not as diligent as the people in the mansion.

Shen Rong knew all about it, but didn't care much.

Ever since Changsheng got into trouble, Shen Rong devoted all her attention to Changsheng and didn't pay much attention to the servants in Guiyuan. Gradually, those servants began to do their work perfunctorily.

Now that the old lady is willing to help discipline the servants, Shen Rong is more than happy to receive it.

The next morning, Shen Rong entrusted Changsheng to the care of her grandparents. She took the two children and Juxiang given by the old lady and left the mansion in a carriage.

According to Shen Rong's wishes, she naturally wanted to bring Changsheng with her through the space.

Although those people with bad intentions in the West Mansion were arrested, Shen Rong was somewhat worried because there were still many people there.

Unfortunately, there are other people in the East Palace.

The last time Shen Rong was able to get away with it was because it was too chaotic that day. Now that nothing was happening in the mansion, Shen Rong couldn't use the same trick again.

Finally, she had to ask her grandparents to look after Changsheng.

This time, Shen Rong brought five people with her. Wang Qing drove the carriage and brought two bodyguards. Juxiang helped take care of the children in the carriage.

Pingping and Anan have not gone out for a long time because of Changsheng's accident.

This time when they went out, their little faces, which had not smiled for a long time, now showed the innocent smiles that only children have.

Seeing this, Shen Rong lifted a corner of the carriage curtain to let the two children look at the scenery on both sides of the street.

It snowed two days ago, and everything was covered in white.

In the West City's privileged district, there were hardly any people on the streets. Occasionally, a servant would be seen going out, but he would walk by in a hurry, with his neck hunched and his gloves tucked into his sleeves.

It was not until the carriage arrived at the square near the city gate that the snow was filled with the smell of everyday life.

At this moment, there were quite a few small stalls in the square near the city gate, most of which sold hot soup and food, and some sold vegetables.

It's quite lively with people coming and going.

After leaving the city, the two children were surprised to see half a foot of snow on the road.

Even though it was snowing in their Taohua Village, the heaviest snow was only as thick as a finger. Not to mention the two children, even Shen Rong had never seen such thick snow.

The carriage slowed down after leaving the city. It took more than an hour to reach the gate of Baiyun Temple compared to the last time.

The hill where Baiyun Temple is located is not very high, and the steps leading up the mountain are clean at this time. One can tell at a glance that the snow on the steps has just been swept away, as if they knew that someone would come at this time.
