After being reborn with Sister Zha, I was stunned!

"Isn't this a reason? She was wearing coarse cloth on the surface, and even had only a wooden hairpin on her head, but she actually hid so much silver and money secretly!" There was a hint of anger in Shen Zhinian's words.

Asan deceived him.

Asan is not an ordinary person at all.

She had so much money, no wonder he had put so much effort into it, but she still refused to be his concubine...

"Also, if her property wasn't stolen, why would so many people be chasing her? She's probably a thief, not much better than the cheapest prostitute in a brothel..."

"Enough!" Shen Qingyin couldn't listen any longer. She snorted coldly, "You have been the county magistrate for many years, but you are so stupid in judging cases? She has money and she doesn't show up in public. Does that mean she must be a thief? What kind of logic is this?"

"Couldn't she be an orphan and a widow who doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, so she wants to cover it up? If someone is chasing her, is it definitely her fault? Are you speaking for those who are chasing her?"

Even a fool could tell that Shen Zhinian's judgment of his biological mother Asan was mixed with too much personal emotion, or resentment.

Shen Qingyin's words left Shen Zhinian speechless.

He tightened his mouth and couldn't speak.

"Then how did my biological mother give her property to you?" Shen Qingyin took a breath and asked the next question.

"When I arrived that day, she was almost dying. She entrusted you, who was hiding in the woods by the roadside, to me and begged me to raise you. She also said that it was worth it for me to raise a child. She also told me where the family hid their valuables..."

"Including that pearl? Was the pearl also given to you by her?" Shen Qingyin suddenly interrupted him.

Shen Zhinian was stunned: "You, you know all this?"

Shen Qingyin didn't answer, just looked at him.

Shen Zhinian paused and said, "She originally said that she would leave the pearl to you... But, but it is stolen goods, and it is an eyesore. If it is exposed, it will probably attract those men in black. They don't look like ordinary people, and I can't afford to offend them... Just because Mrs. Du didn't want to keep you, I gave it to Mrs. Du, and agreed that it could be passed on to the next generation as a family heirloom in the future, and it must not be shown to others..."

Shen Qingyin was so angry that he almost laughed.

Shen Zhinian’s plan was indeed a good one.

Without saying a word, he turned the priceless pearl left to him by his mother into a family heirloom of the Shen family.

But she didn't argue with Shen Zhinian about this anymore.

The pearl is now in my hand, there is no point in saying more.

"Then where is my mother buried?" she asked the last question.

Shen Zhinian's eyes flickered. "I, I was afraid that those men in black would come back, so I took you away first. When I came back, the blood was still all over the ground, but her body was gone... But she must be dead. She had died before I left. Most likely, she was dragged away by a wild animal in the nearby woods..."

Shen Qingyin felt sad when he heard this.

I didn't expect my mother to die so tragically...

She held back her tears and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true. If you don't believe it, you can go check it out. I took a huge risk to bring you back that year because I was afraid of being tracked down by the men in black. Over the years, I have recognized you as my own child and raised you as my legitimate daughter. If you know how to be grateful..."

Shen Qingyin didn't continue listening to Shen Zhinian.

She staggered, her face covered with tears, and turned to walk out of the Ministry of Justice prison.

Although Shen Zhinian's words may not be entirely true, at this point in time, it is obviously more likely that he is telling the truth.

All the way back to the general's mansion, Shen Qingyin's heart was still very heavy.

"Madam, do you think the man in black back then was related to the man in black who intercepted and killed us before?" Fan'er seemed to be thinking about something.

Shen Qingyin came back to his senses.

She had also thought about this question.

There were two groups of black-clad men who came to kill her. One came from Prince An's mansion, and the other most likely came from the palace.

This trip from Prince An's Mansion was probably because of Qin Jinshu, and it is unlikely to be related to the people who hunted down his mother Asan back then.

If there is a real connection, then it can only be the group of men in black from the palace.

She couldn't figure out why her mother was being hunted down by people in the palace. Shen Zhinian clearly said that her mother came from the south...

It is not easy to find out the secrets in the inner court of the imperial palace...

Shen Qingyin did not make things difficult for Mrs. Du any more. After Shen Yuanda and Shen Yuanduo changed their names, he took the invitation from the General's Mansion and took the two of them to visit the principal of Tianan Academy in person.

The headmaster recognized the two men at first sight, but when he heard them give new names, Chen Da and Chen Duo, he quickly understood what was going on.

"If it were someone else, I would definitely not accept it, but the people from the general's mansion are an exception. The general once saved the lives of my entire family in the early years. Even if you send me a piece of wood, I will not say no." The headmaster said, stroking his beard.

Shen Qingyin felt a little guilty when he heard this.

In fact, she had heard about what the headmaster said in her previous life.

It was precisely because she knew this that she was certain that if she sent the two of them, the headmaster would definitely accept them...

She opened her mouth, ready to tell the headmaster to keep their identities secret, but the headmaster said before she could say anything, "Madam, please rest assured that their identities will not be leaked."

Shen Qingyin thanked him deeply, left the academy, and sent someone to tell Mrs. Du the news.

When Mrs. Du learned that her son had been admitted to Tianan Academy as she wished, she was so moved that she burst into tears.

Things that could not be accomplished when Shen Zhinian was around were unexpectedly accomplished by his enemy Shen Qingyin.

After settling her son, Mrs. Du quietly began to sell the house.

Now there are only her and Aunt Qing left in the Shen family, and they cannot live in such a big house.

According to her, the Shen family would have been broken up, and even their son no longer had the surname Shen. She and Aunt Qing should have separated as well.

But when she told Shen Rongyue about this idea, Shen Rongyue advised her not to break up.

If you can't live in a big house, just move to a small one.

Her two younger brothers changed their names, but she still kept the surname Shen, and everyone knew that she was the daughter of the Shen family.

The Shen family has become so embarrassed now.

If there are rumors that the mistress of the Shen family drove away her concubine and illegitimate son, it will only harm her rather than benefit her.

After hearing the advice, Mrs. Du thought that it was just to support an extra idle person, which she could still afford. She searched the entire Shouchun Hall and finally found the five thousand taels hidden by the old lady.

The old lady's way of hiding things was nothing new. She actually sewed the banknotes into her quilt just like me...

Besides, she didn't plan to raise him for nothing.

If you want to eat, you have to work, work like a servant...

General's Mansion.

Early in the morning, the maid came into the room to report.

"Madam, Qin Zhihao really didn't go on the spring hunt. He took people to pretend to go on the spring hunt, but in fact, he changed the direction with his team halfway."
