Thinking of Qin Yueze and Shen Rongyue's flattering expressions towards him, Shen Qingyin was puzzled.

Not only today, in fact, Qin Yueze had been pestering her since he woke up last time.

If she said that Qin Yueze was reborn and couldn't forget his old love for her, she wouldn't believe it.

Qin Yueze had no feelings for her at all, only calculations and exploitation.

Besides, if this was true, what reason did Shen Rongyue have to accompany Qin Yueze to get close to her?

She could see that Shen Rongyue was different from before.

That flattery is really flattering...

She couldn't think of an answer for the moment, but no matter what the reason was, Shen Qingyin didn't want to be bothered by these two people anymore. She had more important things to do.

"Fen'er." Shen Qingyin called Fen'er and whispered in her ear for a while. Fen'er nodded: "I understand. I will arrange it right away."

Later in the afternoon, Shen Qingyin took a carriage from Bixiyuan and headed straight for Jingzhao Prefecture.

There are some questions that cannot be answered from Shen Zhinian, but it is time to ask the old lady.

Inside the Jingzhao Prefecture Prison.

The old lady drank the whole bowl of porridge in one breath, and while wiping her mouth, she shouted to the jailer who had just walked over to serve the meal, "I want another bowl!"

But she was really hungry.

Since she entered Bixiyuan yesterday afternoon, she was so focused on her plans that she had no time to eat.

He was taken to Jingzhao Prefecture early in the morning, then tried in court, and then thrown into prison. It was already past lunchtime.

It's almost evening now, and it's finally time for dinner.

Each person can have a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun that is not as big as a fist.

How can she eat enough?

Perhaps because she was afraid of poverty and hunger in her early years, her appetite has been quite large over the years.

Even if the amount of these things were doubled, she still wouldn't be full!

"What are you shouting about? You don't know the rules!" The jailer turned back impatiently.

"The amount of rice is limited. If I give you one more bowl, others will go hungry. Ask yourself, who is willing to go hungry and give you the rice? If there is, I will give you a bowl!"

The old lady was stunned.

Looking around, she found that several pairs of vicious eyes were staring at her in the cell next to her.

She understood that look.

When she was begging for food with others, a rich family threw a white steamed bun to her, but her companion tried to snatch it away. She looked at her companion with the same look.

The old lady sat back at the fence angrily, took out the steamed bun from her arms and put it to her mouth.

She had wanted to have another bowl of rice, so she put the steamed bread in her arms and drank up the porridge in the bowl first. However, she didn't know that there was not a spare bowl of porridge.

Now, I can slowly chew this steamed bun.

Unexpectedly, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind her and snatched the steamed bread in her hand.

The old lady's face changed and she turned around to look. It turned out to be a woman who was imprisoned in the same cell with her.

The woman had obviously been locked up for some time. She was skin and bones, her clothes were dirty and torn, her hair was disheveled, her face looked unrecognizable, and she gave off a rotten and moldy smell.

When she was thrown in, the woman was sitting alone in the corner, motionless, and she thought she was a peaceful person.

But it turned out that he actually dared to snatch her food!

The woman lowered her head, stared at the steamed bun greedily, and stuffed it into her mouth desperately.

The old lady rushed over to grab it: "You crazy woman, give it back to me! Give it back to me!"

However, the woman showed no sign of weakness. She continued to stuff the steamed bread into her mouth with one hand and pushed the old lady hard with the other hand.

With a violent cough, all the steamed buns went into the woman's stomach.

The old lady became angry and humiliated and refused to give in even more. The woman freed her hands and resisted even more violently, and the two of them began to fight in the narrow cell.

At first the old lady could still take advantage of her, but after all, she was old and gradually became unable to support herself.

Although the woman was very thin, she had a lot of strength that was enough to kill her.

In addition, the nails on both hands have not been trimmed for who knows how long, and they are sharp and pointy.

After a while, several blood marks appeared on the old lady's face.

The old lady covered her face and had to step back, but there was nowhere to retreat as the cell was so small that she could only dodge left and right, screaming in fear.

Fortunately, the jailer arrived in time: "What are you doing! You don't want to live anymore, right?"

The woman stopped what she was doing upon hearing this, and quietly retreated to the corner and sat down.

The jailer opened the door and said to the old lady, "Come out with me, someone wants to see you!"

The old lady felt like she had found a savior and hurriedly followed him out of the cell.

However, when she was brought into a room and saw Shen Qingyin, her expression turned ugly again.

"Hmph, you still have the nerve to come here!" The old lady snorted and turned her head away.

Shen Qingyin smiled and said, "Why should I be ashamed to come? I didn't kill anyone or set any fire, so how can I be ashamed?"

The old lady choked.

After a pause, she started to complain tearfully, "I really don't know what sin the Shen family has committed to produce someone as unfilial and conscienceless as you! Once you climbed up the social ladder, you tore your own family apart, ruined it, ruined it——"

The old lady cried sadly, but Shen Qingyin just looked at her indifferently without saying a word.

"I was so blind that I spoiled a heartless person like you! If I had known earlier, if I had known earlier——"

The old lady continued to cry and curse, but suddenly she couldn't curse anymore.

"If you had known earlier, you shouldn't have brought me back to the Shen family?" Shen Qingyin suddenly took over the conversation.

The old lady was stunned, stopped crying, and said to Shen Qingyin obliquely: "I should not have spoiled you if I had known!"

"You don't have to bother hiding it anymore. I heard everything you said in front of the cliff at Baochan Temple that day."

The old lady was shocked when she heard this, and her face turned as pale as paper.

"I, I don't know what you're talking about..."

"When I was pushed off the cliff, you were alone on the edge of the cliff, begging the Bodhisattva to forgive your sins. You also said that I was not originally from the Shen family—"

Shen Qingyin's tone was still indifferent, but what he said was like a thunderclap, shocking the old lady so much that she was completely stunned.

She pursed her lips and murmured, "How, how is it possible... How is it possible!"

How could Shen Qingyin hear what she said?

Shen Qingyin smiled slightly: "Originally it was impossible, but thanks to the blessing of the Bodhisattva, I heard it. Otherwise, how would I know it?"

When she heard the name of Bodhisattva, a trace of fear and anxiety flashed in the old lady's eyes.

"At this point, why don't you tell me the truth? I am not a member of the Shen family at all. Then which family am I from? Who are my biological parents? Why did you bring me back to the Shen family?" Shen Qingyin's voice became cold and stern.

The series of questions frightened the old lady so much that she took a few steps back.

However, after a moment of silence, she suddenly laughed strangely: "So you did all this because of this - humph, you want to know, but I won't tell you!"

Shen Qingyin said calmly: "I don't want to beat around the bush with you today, let's talk about the terms."
