In the study room.

Seeing Butler Hu rushing in breathlessly, Shen Zhinian looked nervous: "But something happened in Yuhu County? Did you mess up the job you were assigned to do?"

Butler Hu wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeves and said, "Master, something did happen in Yuhu County! However, it wasn't us who was in trouble... guess who was?"

Hearing that the person in trouble was not one of his own, Shen Zhinian breathed a sigh of relief and sat down: "There are so many people in Yuhu County, how could I have guessed this?"

"Master, you can't imagine that someone would secretly attack General Mu..." Butler Hu lowered his voice.

Shen Zhinian was shocked: "You mean, Mu Beiyan went to Yuhu County in person?"

He originally guessed that Mu Beiyan would send someone.

After all, this trip to Yuhu County is not like the last trip to Taoyuan County, where there is a clear location and clear people to find.

This time, searching is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It will take more than one or two days to get results.

Mu Beiyan is a general and is busy with military affairs. Does he have time?

Who would have thought that Mu Beiyan actually went there in person!

"That's right, sir. The general personally led his men there. However, he was ambushed outside Yuhu County before he even entered the city... If I hadn't happened to see it, I wouldn't have believed it!"

"I saw with my own eyes that dozens of masked men surrounded the general and one of his followers..."

Shen Zhinian stood up in surprise: "Is that person dead?"

He was a little confused for a moment.

If Mu Beiyan died now, would it be a good thing or a bad thing?

Mu Beiyan and Shen Qingyin have not yet married. If he dies, will Qin Yueze come to propose marriage again?

If he really comes to propose marriage, what should I do?

If it were in the past, it would naturally be a good thing. With both daughters marrying the future emperor, the Shen family would definitely have a bright future.

But now, Shen Qingyin is afraid that he and the Shen family are no longer on the same page...

However, if Mu Beiyan really died, it would be convenient to attack Shen Qingyin in the future...

"Master, what do you think?" Butler Hu couldn't help but keep the question in suspense again.

Shen Zhinian glared at him: "Hurry up and tell me!"

"Dead!" said Butler Hu.

"But it wasn't the general who died..."

"

“Tsk tsk tsk, this great general is truly worthy of his reputation! I hid far away and could see that each of those men in black was strong, but they were like children in front of the great general. After a short while, most of them were killed or injured, and the rest fled as soon as they saw the situation was not good…”

Shen Zhinian calmed himself down.

It’s good that Mu Beiyan is not dead.

According to Yue'er, he should have died on the battlefield soon...

"Do you know who attacked Mu Beiyan?"

"That little one doesn't know. The general originally left two people alive for interrogation, but he failed to interrogate them. The two people committed suicide by taking poison..."

Shen Zhinian fell silent.

According to Butler Hu, these men in black are obviously not ordinary people.

There aren't many people who are capable of secretly assigning so many experts...

After a while, Shen Zhinian finally remembered: "What about what I asked you to do?"

When asked about this, Butler Hu looked relaxed: "Master, you don't have to do what you asked, God has already done it for you..."

Shen Zhinian didn't understand: "What does this mean?"

"Master, the old man who made sugar figurines near the City God Temple that you asked me to find died last month!"

Shen Zhinian was surprised: "How did he die?"

"They say he drank too much and froze to death on the side of the road overnight. Anyway, he died last month. It has nothing to do with us! Tell me, isn't this God helping you?"

Shen Zhinian was immediately delighted when he heard this and exclaimed, "It really is God's help!"

When he took Shen Miaomiao away from the entrance of the City God Temple, the only person passing by was the old man making sugar figurines beside the City God Temple.

Although the old man is old and his eyesight is not good, it is very likely that he didn't see anything.

But it still makes people feel uneasy.

It was fine in the past, but now that Miaomiao’s life experience has been brought up again, it’s better to clear it up.

"What about Mu Beiyan? Has he returned to Beijing?" Shen Zhinian asked again.

"I followed them into the county town, and I haven't seen them since. I don't know whether they returned to Beijing or not, but the old man is gone, so why should you worry about him, Master?"

"Yeah." Shen Zhinian nodded.

New Year’s Eve is the day for family reunion.

Shen Qingyin thought about it and decided to take Miaomiao back to the Shen family.

Also brought along were Fan'er, Yunwei and Yunchan.

Although she no longer had the affection for the Shen family, after all, she and Mu Beiyan had not yet married, and on paper she was still the daughter of the Shen family.

Although she doesn't care about the eyes of the world, she is not just herself. As Mu Beiyan's wife-to-be, she doesn't want anyone to talk behind her back.

Shen Zhinian and Du were delighted to see Shen Qingyin and Miaomiao coming back.

These days, Shen Qingyin seemed to have forgotten about going to Baochan Temple, and Mrs. Du finally didn't have to pretend to be sick anymore.

Only the old lady continued to claim to be sick in her own hospital.

Shen Qingyin smiled slightly and took Miaomiao to the old lady's room to pay her respects.

"Grandma, your granddaughter and Miaomiao greet you together." Shen Qingyin bowed to the old lady lying on the bed.

"These days, because Miaomiao was sick, your granddaughter didn't take care of you. Please don't blame me, grandma."

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Shen looked concerned and ordered the little girl to help her up and lean her against the couch:

"It's okay, it's okay, how's Miaomiao? Hurry and bring her over to me."

Shen Qingyin agreed and personally carried Miaomiao to the old lady.

When she saw Shen Miaomiao's lifeless eyes and stupid face, the old lady sighed: "My poor Miaomiao, such a good child, but she has become like this... Yin'er, you have to investigate those black-hearted servants in Bixiyuan!"

Shen Qingyin nodded: "Don't worry, grandma. The Bodhisattva had already appeared in my dream last night, saying that those who harmed Miaomiao will be punished and will have sores all over her body."

There was a flash of panic in the old lady's eyes.

He said insincerely: "Okay, okay, that's great..."

I don’t know if it was a psychological effect, but after Shen Qingyin said goodbye and left, the old lady always felt itchy.

Prince Kang's Mansion.

Originally thinking that the prince would not be able to come today, Shen Rongyue simply took a break, letting her hair down and not taking a bath.

I just stayed in the house, bored and flipping through the notebook I brought from my mother's house.

But after noon, Qin Yueze suddenly came.

Shen Rongyue hurriedly put down the notebook and walked forward.

"You are here, Young Master." With a face that was still a little swollen, Shen Rongyue smiled warmly.

Qin Yueze looked at Shen Rongyue and frowned: "Pack up quickly and go out with me."

Shen Rongyue was immediately delighted.

My Lord, are you going to take her out to meet guests?

"Okay." Shen Rongyue agreed happily and asked Yinxin to quickly help her wash and change clothes.

After packing up, Qin Yueze was already a little impatient.

"Let's go." Qin Yueze stood up and left.

Shen Rongyue hurriedly followed: "My Lord, where are we going today?"
