The daughter of the firstborn is rebellious and is reborn to bury her whole family

But the man seemed unaware of it and continued walking.

Shen Qiyin turned around and saw only his anxious back.

He was wearing Dengyun boots and a brocade robe made of kesi silk. In addition, he could come and go freely in Qiying Pavilion, so he was probably not only an important official in the court, but also a noble.

As expected, she faintly heard Feng Liu's voice: "My Lord?! Why are you here?"

Shen Qiyin's eyes showed deep thought.

It turned out to be the Marquis, no wonder...

There were three marquises in the Great Zhou Dynasty: Yan Zhao, Marquis of Qingyang, Song Ru, Marquis of Jianning, and Wei Qi, Marquis of Wuan.

I wonder who bumped into her just now?

Shen Qiyin pressed her aching shoulder and thought no more. She got on the carriage arranged for her by Xiong Lu and went back to Guangrentang.

Honeysuckle seemed to have been waiting for her for a while.

Seeing her come back, she hurriedly pulled her to a corner and whispered to her, "Miss, the person I asked has sent a message back, saying that Aunt Zheng's carriage did go to her parents' home, but her maid Cui'er got off the carriage halfway."

"Mrs. Zheng didn't even wait for her and left directly."

Shen Qiyin: "Where did Cui'er get off the bus?"

"According to the little beggar, it's in Dongyue Tower." The best restaurant in the capital.

"Tavern..."

Shen Qiyin thought for a moment, and then came up with an idea, and said, "Let's go."

Honeysuckle looked confused: "Where to?" Zheng's house?

"Dongyue Tower!"

The restaurant was not far from Guangrentang, just on the next street. Shen Qiyin took Rendong through the alley and took a shortcut, which made them go faster.

When they arrived at the entrance of Dongyue Tower, Shen Qiyin was about to go in, but a dirty child ran out from nowhere and blocked their way.

It's a little boy.

He looked no more than seven or eight years old, with a pale and thin face, and dressed in rags, like a little beggar.

Unexpectedly, Ren Dong saw him and said in surprise: "It's you!"

The little beggar looked at Ren Dong, then at Shen Qiyin, and finally fixed his sight on the latter. He said, "That woman has not come out since she went in."

Honeysuckle couldn't help but ask, "How do you know?"

He replied, "After I informed you, I asked the waiter when I came back, and he said she was still there. I have been waiting here ever since, but I didn't see her come out."

Hearing this, Shen Qiyin raised his eyebrows.

She asked him with interest: "Why are you guarding her?"

"I think this might be useful to you." His dark eyes were filled with a calmness and calculation that was not in line with his age: "I bet you will come to find her."

"Oh? What if we don't come?"

"If you don't want to come, then don't come. I'm just begging for food, so it doesn't matter where I go."

Shen Qiyin chuckled, with a flash of admiration in his eyes.

That's quite a thorough thought.

The little beggar said, "I know the second brother here, so if you want to know anything, you can ask me."

"for example?"

"For example, which private room she was in, and who she met, I know everything."

Shen Qiyin curled his lips: "Tell me the conditions." If he had nothing to ask for, he would have told me as soon as they met. There was no need to beat around the bush.

"I want ten taels of silver!"

Shen Qiyin got up and walked away.

Ten taels of silver! Why didn't he want her life?

The little beggar probably didn't expect that he would scare the person away just by opening his mouth. He stood there in a daze for a while, then remembered to chase after the man.

When he spoke again, the price he asked dropped drastically: "One ounce! How about one ounce?"

Shen Qiyin remained unmoved.

The little beggar gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand to count: "Five cents! No less."

Shen Qiyin: "Five coins."

"what?!"

"Forget it if you don't want it." She said and was about to leave again.

The little beggar was very anxious: "Just wait a moment!" It's not like we can't negotiate, why do you keep taking it away to scare people?

He tugged at his ragged clothes and spoke softly, his voice sounding somewhat pitiful: "...I want the silver to go back and treat my mother's illness. Please, young lady, be kind..."

"Miss, for your great kindness today, I will work like a slave in the future and will definitely repay you." As he said this, he suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to her twice: "Miss, please have mercy on me."

Shen Qiyin said, "I pity you, but who pities me?"

How many people in this world are not riddled with wounds? If you want to survive, you can only mend them yourself. If you expect others to lend a helping hand, you are doomed to disappointment.

She looked down at the little beggar and said to him very seriously, "You can make a deal with me, but you have to count on me to be kind. I advise you to wake up as soon as possible."

"One last chance, five cents, do you want it?"

"want!"

Perhaps the little beggar realized that Shen Qiyin was really not a kind-hearted lady, so he agreed very readily this time, fearing that she would go back on her word.

Honeysuckle took out a few copper coins and gave them to him.

The little beggar took it and counted carefully. After confirming that there were five, he said, "The person you are looking for is on the second floor, turn left, in the second room. Before you came, a young man went in to look for her."

Honeysuckle asked, "Who is it?"

He did not answer, but only weighed a few copper coins in his hand, the meaning was self-evident.

If you want to know, you have to pay extra.

Rendong looked at Shen Qiyin, waiting for her decision.

The latter said: "I know who it is."

The little beggar immediately looked disappointed.

But then Shen Qiyin said, "But I can still give you money, but I want you to help me do another thing."

Upon hearing this, his eyes lit up again.

After explaining "this and that, this and that" to him, Shen Qiyin took Rendong into Dongyue Tower, went straight up to the second floor, and ran straight to the private room that the little beggar mentioned.

Within one door.

Shen Ruyin, who was dressed as a little maid, hugged Feng Heng tightly and refused to let go. Her little face was full of tears and she cried pitifully: "Brother Heng, now people outside are pointing fingers at me, you have to make the decision for me."

"Okay, okay, stop crying."

Feng Heng consoled her gently, holding her shoulders and pushing her away slightly, then took out a navy blue handkerchief... and wiped his clothes in front of him.

While wiping him, she muttered, "This is the new dress my mother made for me. Stop rubbing snot all over me."

Shen Ruyin was stunned.

The next moment, he was filled with rage!

She had gone to great lengths to ask him to come over, not to hear him despise her.

But Shen Ruyin also knew that Feng Heng was her only way out now, and she couldn't offend him, so she could only suppress her anger and patiently act coquettishly with him, "Brother Heng, I really can't live with this kind of secretive life any more."

"You don't know how mean those dirty-hearted people are. They all said that I seduced you..."

Feng Heng: “That’s not wrong.”

"...But, but they also said something about you, Brother Heng!" Shen Ruyin suppressed her anger and looked like she was standing up for him.

"What did you say about me?"

"They said you are a drunkard and a womanizer, you are uneducated and idle all day long, you flirt with other women and are lustful by nature." She didn't believe that he wouldn't be angry after hearing that!

As expected, Feng Heng immediately frowned and said unhappily: "These people are too mean!"

"Yeah, right?"

"But he's pretty good at judging people."
