"I've made a fool of myself for you again."

Shen Yiran said with his head down while eating the Su Luo.

Bo Jinnian was a little surprised. Why did he suddenly say such a thing?

"I didn't laugh. Family and relatives are all part of you. Without them, would you be who you are today?"

Shen Yiran's eyes flickered with surprise and insight. Although Bo Jinnian looked a little gloomy when he spoke, to Shen Yiran, it seemed that he was a soulmate just for part-time work.

In this life, Song Qizhao has been deposed, and it is highly likely that he will not be able to become an official. I think the fate of the Marquis' Mansion has also improved.

However, Shen Yiran was still unsure. Bo Jinjue had risen in the Marquis' Mansion and defected to Marquis Yongyi. This time, he might stab him in the back again.

Taking this opportunity, Shen Yiran said cautiously: "Your Majesty is now favored by His Majesty. I'm sure there are many jealous people in the court. It's easy to dodge an open spear but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. Your Majesty should be careful."

When Bo Jinnian heard this, his expression changed. He stared at Shen Yiran and asked, "Did the lady hear something?"

Shen Yiran immediately smiled and shook his head, the two jade pendants on his earlobes swaying gently: "No, I'm just worried and prepared for a rainy day."

Bo Jinnian had never told Shen Yiran about what happened in the officialdom, but after hearing what she said, he smiled and said, "That's right, I almost got into trouble this time."

So he told Shen Yiran about the missing information of the candidates.

When Shen Yiran heard this, his face suddenly became solemn, and he said quietly: "Using small things to achieve big things, this person's strategy is really simple and effective!"

Bo Jinnian also nodded heavily: "If it wasn't for my elder brother this time, I would definitely not have discovered it."

Shen Yiran smiled and nodded when he heard this: "Brother, since you were promoted by the Marquis, he will naturally support you."

It sounded as if his elder brother would change his mind if he got more benefits, Bo Jinnian thought as he picked up the teacup and drank.

But Shen Yiran remained silent and thought for a long time without saying anything.

Bo Jinnian chuckled, "Did my words make you worried? It's okay. I've already explained it to His Majesty. The matter has been resolved. No matter what the person behind the scenes wants to do, I shouldn't have any problems passing the martial arts exam."

is it?

Shen Yiran was filled with worries.

What happened in the previous life finally happened in this life.

However, this was the last incident that forced the Marquis Rui's Mansion and killed Bo Jinnian. How come it suddenly happened earlier?

Shen Yiran, who had always been on guard, understood that although things had changed a lot after her remarriage in this life, what was going to happen seemed to still happen.

"My Lord, I have a strange question. Please listen to it."

After hearing this, Bo Jinnian put down his teacup, straightened his body, and said solemnly, "Madam, please speak."

"If they were targeting the Marquis, there would be no need to take such measures. Is the person behind the scenes just trying to frame the prince?"

Bo Jinnian had never thought about the consequences, but after hearing Shen Yiran's reminder, he began to think about it.

"Didn't you just say that this was a good plan? It's simple and easy, but it has a huge impact. If you want to harm me, isn't this the best? Even if you investigate later, you may not be able to find the person behind it."

Shen Yiran nodded in agreement with Bo Jinnian's words: "But Lord Marquis, His Majesty knows that you went to provide disaster relief. When you came back, you didn't have time to carefully review every link. There was an error in the candidate's information. Can this be blamed on Lord Marquis?"

Shen Yiran took a deep breath and said, "Disaster relief is an emergency. When His Majesty ordered the Marquis to provide disaster relief, there were already big loopholes in the plan. Why did they continue to implement it?"

Bo Jinnian's pupils widened, as if he had been hit, and he woke up instantly.

Seeing that Bo Jinnian had listened, Shen Yiran continued, "We all agreed before that the person who came up with this plan must be a powerful person. Why didn't he change his strategy based on the Marquis' situation, but continue with it?"

Bo Jinnian thought about it and realized that Shen Yiran was right.

If this matter were to become a big deal, the one who would be severely blamed would be Bo Jinjue.

But these things were done by my second brother Bo Jinjue himself. Didn’t he think about the consequences if he was discovered?

Shen Yiran seemed to see through Bo Jinnian's thoughts: "I think my second brother is not a stupid person. After what happened, he will be more careful in doing things. He will not fail to figure out such a thing."

Bo Jinnian nodded. Then, why did Bo Jinjue dare to do it, and why did the people behind the scenes still do it?

The answer is obvious, yet still elusive.

"They are targeting someone else, but I can't figure out who they are targeting."

Shen Yiran breathed a sigh of relief, finally pointing out the matter without leaving any trace.

I can’t say anything more after that.

Shen Yiran also pretended to be puzzled and apologized: "I can only deduce this doubt logically. I'm afraid the subsequent investigation will have to be done by the Marquis himself."

Bo Jinnian nodded: "In that case, I have to rush over to check while the information is sealed. Can you go back first?"

Shen Yiran nodded, holding the Su Luo and acting like a daughter: "I love Su Luo, eat one more bowl before you leave, Lord, go quickly."

Bo Jinnian nodded, stood up and walked away quickly.

Shen Yiran sat alone at the table. He looked around and stood up and said, "Waiter, please settle the bill."

The key to this matter must be found at the Shen family.

Shen Yiran bought a lot of things and took them back to the Shen family.

"I came to see my father, why are you stopping me?"

The guard standing at the door actually stopped Shen Yiran from coming in.

"The master is not at home."

"Then I can't go back?"

The guards couldn't explain why, but they just wouldn't let us in.

As luck would have it, Shen Li and Shen Yunyan also came back from their walk. Bai Zhi was standing far away under a tree and saw them, so he hid behind it and couldn't come out.

"Oh, you still need someone to remind you to be aware of it!"

Shen Li snorted coldly and walked inside with Shen Yunyan. Shen Yiran immediately followed and took off one of his hairpins and put it in Shen Yunyan's hand.

"Sister, this jade hairpin of mine came from the Kingdom of Daqin. This color doesn't look good on me. After thinking it over, I think it's more suitable for you."

When Shen Yunyan heard that the person was from the Kingdom of Daqin, she immediately looked down at the hairpin. The beads on it were as big as peanuts, and the color was transparent deep red. It was definitely a top-grade product.

"Sister, you have good taste. This color really doesn't suit you!"

While they were talking, the guards did not dare to stop him, so Shen Yiran entered the Shen Mansion.

"Stepmother, I'm a little worried that my father will be in a bad mood when he sees me. I wonder how he looks after he resigned from office?"

As he said that, Shen Yiran took off his pearl bracelet and handed it to Shen Li.

These pearls are of the same shape and size, and are pink in color. They are top-quality pink pearls.

Shen Li was a connoisseur of value. She said to Shen Yiran for the sake of the pearl bracelet, "Don't worry, your father has been very calm and at ease every day since he resigned from his post. He is either practicing calligraphy at home or going out to meet friends."
