In Lingchan Temple, in the backyard, in a secluded Zen room.

The sun was setting in the west, with only a ray of afterglow filtering in through the window.

Old Madam Su knelt in front of the Buddhist shrine, twirling the Buddhist beads in her hands and chanting Buddhist scriptures.

However, her eyes were tightly closed and her brows were furrowed. Even the Buddha's true words could not make her feel calm.

Nanny Xu was serving by the side, and especially at that time, when the old lady went to see Master Xuanzhen, she heard everything Master Xuanzhen said clearly. Of course, she knew what these two people were doing that had been troubling the old lady.

I really didn't expect that Master Xuanzhen would say in his divination that Su Huan drowned but escaped death, just like a dragon emerging from water. She had changed her fate against the will of heaven and was reborn. If we were to take action against her, we would be asking for trouble.

Even the final result will be a backlash on oneself, and the fact that Aunt Yang, the Third Miss, and the Fourth Miss died in the mouth of a poisonous snake is proof of this.

The room was completely silent, with only the sound of Old Madam Su reciting Buddhist scriptures.

Sudden--

collapse--

The Buddhist beads bracelet in Old Madam Su's hand broke, and the beads rolled to the ground. The tinkling and clanging sounds echoed intermittently.

At this moment, Madam Su opened her eyes suddenly, and felt a chill on her back, with a layer of fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.

Seeing this, Aunt Xu hurried forward and said, "Madam, are you okay?"

Old Madam Su shook her head, her eyes fixed on the Buddha statue enshrined in the niche.

When Aunt Xu saw the sweat on the old lady's forehead, she took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off her.

Madam Su was holding a few scattered Buddhist beads in her hand. "Tell me, is this the Buddha warning me?"

Madam Xu: "Madam, this servant..."

Madam Su stood up and said in a serious tone, "Now that things have come to this, there is no turning back. If I stop, Su Huan will not stop either. The deaths of Yang, Su Die, and Su Rui are before our eyes."

Madam Xu: "Madam, you are the most distinguished person in the Prime Minister's Mansion. With the Prime Minister's status being here, how dare the young lady be rude to you?"

Madam Su: "She has already made her move, why would she dare to do so?"

Madam Xu was silent for a moment.

Madam Su: "According to the plan, Zhu's people should have come into contact with the people from Hidden Killing Tower."

Madam Xu came back to her senses, nodded, and said, "Madam, yes, the birthday banquet for Grand Princess Zhaohua will be held in two days. Madam needs to make arrangements in advance. It has been three days, and the people at Hidden Killing Tower must have made arrangements."

"The Hidden Killing Tower's assassin missions have never failed, and they will not fail this time either." Madam Su said in a cold tone, "The Shen family will soon return to the capital. If Su Huan is not eliminated, the Zhu family will be to blame. I am behind the Zhu family, so if anything happens to the Zhu family, I cannot avoid it either."

"Old lady..."

"Humph!" Madam Su looked at the Buddha statue and said coldly, "It's just a hexagram. It all depends on your own means. Even if Su Huan is a dragon emerging from water, I will slay this dragon."

Madam Xu helped the old lady to stand up and sat down on the chair beside her. "Old lady, please take a rest."

Madam Su: "I heard that the three young masters of the Shen family returned to the capital first. They should arrive in the capital tomorrow."

Aunt Xu: "Yes."

Madam Su: "Get ready and go back home now."

Nanny Xu also knew what the old lady was thinking. Although it was getting late, she didn't say much and just said, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Prime Minister’s Mansion, Lanyue Pavilion.

Su Huan got up early and sat in front of the dressing table

Yun Shuang was dressing Su Huan and said, "Miss, I heard that the old lady returned home from Lingchan Temple last night."

Su Huan: "Any questions?"

Yunshuang: "I feel it's a little strange. Didn't she say she was going to worship Buddha at Lingchan Temple for three days? Logically, she should have returned today. Why did she come back so suddenly? And she was rushing back to the city at night. Moreover, Zhu went to the old lady's courtyard so early in the morning."

Su Huan chuckled. Those people were a bunch of snakes and rats, and they got together. How could they have good intentions? But she didn't take it to heart. She looked at Yun Shuang who was doing her makeup through the bronze mirror and just said, "Are you done?"

Yunshuang pinned the jade hairpin in the young lady's hair and said, "Young lady, it's done."

Su Huan stood up, patted Yun Shuang's shoulder, and said calmly: "Don't worry, the three cousins ​​should be here today."

Yun Shuang: "Well, the three cousins ​​will probably come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to visit the young lady as soon as they arrive."

Su Huan: "Then prepare some refreshments and entertain the three cousins."

Yunshuang: "Yes, I understand."

Coincidentally, Nanny Xia came in and said, "Miss, breakfast is ready."

At that time, breakfast was finished.

Soon, it was already three quarters past the hour of Si.

At this time, at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Three handsome young men got off the carriage.

The young man standing on the right looked at the Prime Minister's Mansion in front of him and said, "We haven't seen my little sister for many years. Big brother, second brother, let's go in quickly. I can't wait to see my little sister."

The boy standing on his left, who was two years older than him, said in a serious voice: "Shen Yanqing, you kid, be careful. We are back to the capital. Grandfather, father, mother, second uncle, and second aunt have repeatedly told us that we should listen to our eldest brother's arrangements in everything."

Shen Yanqing deliberately made a face at his second brother Shen Yanshu, "I know, I know. I won't do anything stupid. My eldest brother didn't say anything, so it's okay."

Shen Yanshu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Shen Yanchu, who was standing in the middle, looked at his two younger brothers and said in a steady voice, "Okay, let's go."

The three brothers were about to go upstairs, so they asked the servant at the gate of the prime minister's residence to go in and report.

However, just as they reached the door, they saw a young girl coming towards them.

Su Huan received the news in Lanyue Pavilion and came out of Lanyue Pavilion as soon as possible.

She stared intently at the three handsome young men in front of her.

As far as she knew, even though her three cousins ​​were not in the capital, the reputations of the three young masters of the Shen family were well-known outside.

The three wonders of Jiangnan are indeed worthy of their reputation.

I saw it with my own eyes, even though I haven't had any in-depth contact with him, I can have a very intuitive feeling of the elegant gentleman's temperament.

Especially the man standing in the middle. Although she was not familiar with him, she could guess that this man was her eldest cousin Shen Yanchu. He was dressed in white, with a faint smile on his handsome face. He was gentle and elegant, as if he was tailor-made for him.

The person on the left hand side of her eldest cousin was obviously her second cousin Shen Yanshu. Different from the elegant and handsome Shen Yanchu, Shen Yanshu's face was full of rigor and solemnity.

The person on the right hand side of her eldest cousin is her third cousin Shen Yanqing, who is the same age as her. When she appears, Shen Yanqing's face is full of bright smiles, and he looks casual, relaxed, and sunny.

From the original owner's memory, when they were young, their elders deliberately removed all the distinctions between them and just called them brother and sister in order to make them closer, even though they were cousins.

She certainly wouldn't change anything on purpose.

"Big brother, second brother, third brother." Su Huan called softly to the three people in front of her.
