Sitting beside Concubine Shen, Shen Bai's heart was beating wildly. This may not be his original intention, but it must be instinct.

"Have been plotted against?" Concubine Shen Gui half leaned on the single wooden armrest beside the couch, showing a kind of beauty's tiredness.

Hearing her words, Shen Bai took a look, he was not surprised that Concubine Shen knew these things, after all Yuemei was the one she stayed outside to report the news.

"Shen Fu seems to be unable to stay." Without too many false words, Shen Bai spoke out directly, and the maids in Concubine Shen's palace came forward to serve tea, and put it on the small table specially for him.

"Oh?" Concubine Shen gently raised her eyes, looking at her younger brother sitting beside her: "Ah Bai has grown up, and finally knows how to distinguish right from wrong, this is a good thing."

"However, it may not be easy to punish this evil slave without evidence." Shen Bai thought about it.

"Hmph, evil slave!" Concubine Shen smiled, showing an expression of overstatement towards the word, and waved to Eunuch Quan, who was standing outside knowingly, and went inside to take out a stack of papers.

"These are all shops that Shen Fu bought outside, and there are other lists of private properties. You confiscated them with the receipt. He sold himself to our house, so you can do whatever you want."

"Sister already knew?" Shen Bai frowned, surprised at Shen Guifei's insight.

"I know, but he is your slave now, how to deal with it is up to you." After she finished speaking, she covered her mouth and smiled: "It's just ridiculous, he thought he was meticulous, but he helped you set up a lot of properties. It’s just a hard work.”

"If I don't respond, will my sister watch Uncle Zhong get driven away?" Shen Bai asked tentatively.

Shen Fei'er looked at her younger brother and sighed softly: "If you hadn't fallen into the water, I wouldn't have bothered to ask about it. No one in this world can protect anyone. You have to rely on yourself for everything."

Hearing this, Shen Bai looked at the young girl in front of him, and couldn't help feeling admiration in his heart. Although she was young in her prime, she was able to understand gains and losses. Such a woman was born in ancient times and lived in a deep palace. She was probably born to be a superior.

"I will send someone to help you. After you return home, you can take care of Shen Fu with peace of mind. Remember, you must know how to stand up. My sister doesn't expect you to be very successful, but at least I hope you live in peace."

Shen Bai listened, and nodded in response. Shen Fei'er was in the palace, and she could think about her younger brother like this, neither concealing her concern for her younger brother, nor exerting any pressure on her younger brother's fame. The fetters behind the word, but just willing to give peace and joy to one's only family member.

"I heard from Yuemei that you have played the piano again recently?" Shen Fei'er showed a rare look of expectation.

"Sister wants to listen?"

"Bring the Ruan Qin." Grandpa Quan beckoned knowingly, and the little eunuch next to him took out a Ruan Qin from the piano room.

Shen Bai took it, the Ruan Qin in the palace was lacklustre, not as lustrous as the old one at home, but the material was extremely expensive, because no one played it, Shen Bai re-tuned the string, picked up the teacup and drank it Sip tea and calm down.

Then he took out the plucked string stuck on the piano and played it lightly. The low pitch was very penetrating, and the sound of the piano was lingering.

Shen Fei'er closed her eyes, propped one hand on the single wooden armrest specially placed on the bed seat, and pressed her delicate white hand against her forehead, her closed eyes could not hide her peaceful temperament.

Shen Bai also closed his eyes and played heartily. For Concubine Shen, it was five years ago that siblings sat opposite each other playing the piano like this.

There were slight footsteps outside the palace gate, but Shen Bai sat with his back against the main hall and didn't pay attention at all.

The sound of the piano is leisurely forming notes under the beating of the plectrum, and a mist of water floats from the teacup on the small coffee table and the half-covered teacup.

After the song was played, Shen Bai opened his eyes, while Concubine Shen still kept his eyes closed, with a contented smile on the corner of his mouth.

After she came back to her senses, Eunuch Quan leaned forward and whispered something in her ear before she opened her eyes.

"It's getting late, you go back first, next month is An'er's birthday, you, as an uncle, bring your piano into the palace to celebrate his birthday with him." Concubine Shen Guifei spoke, although Shen Bai didn't know what it was just now It's inconvenient to ask more about things and things in the palace, so I nodded in response, returned the piano, and got up to return the salute.

When I walked out of the gate of the palace, I saw a painting on the wall near the door. It was painted with green hills and pines and old trees dotted with crimson, but the poems on it were written elegantly and lightly.

"Red beans are born in the southern country, and a few branches will come out in spring. May you pick more, this thing is the most lovesick." 'The inscription is 'one person in the world'.

Shen Bai looked at Concubine Shen, and Concubine Shen also noticed her younger brother's expression, and said proudly: "It was given to me by the emperor, and he also made the lovesickness above."

Shen Bai's mind exploded, how could this Wang Wei's poem be written by Emperor Yu Wentuo?

"Since my younger brother likes poetry, Qin'er, please send him the emperor's collection of poems."

Following the orders of Concubine Shen, a court lady carefully handed over a wooden box containing books, and the words 'one person in the world' were exquisitely engraved on the outside of the wooden box.

"This is the royal copy, don't lose it." Shen Guifei instructed.

"Thank you, sister." Putting away the wooden box, he didn't think about it, he just wanted to read this collection of poems after going back.

After he came out of the palace, he was sent to the Shenwei Gate by Eunuch Quan, and the leader of the forbidden army who sent him in stood there waiting for him again.

Take him to Shenwumen together, all the way through the layers of tunnels inside the city wall.

"Your Majesty has already ordered my subordinates to accompany the young master back to the mansion to handle the family affairs." In the tunnel, the leader of the forbidden army whispered to Shen Bai.

"Thank you sir, I haven't asked your name yet." Shen Bai naturally knew what he had to deal with when he returned home, so he didn't say much.

"The last general, Li Changluo, a thousand households of the Forbidden Army."

"I'll take care of you later." Shen Bai finished speaking with him, and boarded the car back to the residence from Shenwumen.

The carriage returned to the Shen Mansion, and it took about three hours to enter the palace. Although the journey was not long, but there were quite a lot of roads to walk after entering the palace, so the time wasted naturally was more.

"The young master has returned to the mansion." Shen Fu and Zhong Bo led the servants to wait in front of the mansion.

Shen Fu saw that he escorted the forbidden army into the mansion without receiving any rewards, he couldn't help but feel strange, Concubine Shen always loved her younger brother, and every time she entered the palace, she gave him a lot of rewards, this time the young master fell into the water, why didn't he have any rewards that symbolized care? ?

And after Yuemei got out of the car with Shen Bai, holding a wooden box in her hand, his eyes couldn't help but light up, guessing what kind of good thing this is?

"My lords have worked hard." Shen Fu returned the salute along with a few forbidden soldiers, whose expressions were resolute, as cold as a mountain, which made people instinctively keep strangers away.

Shen Bai led everyone into the main hall.

"Li Qianhu, please sit down." Shen Bai made a gesture of invitation to Li Qianhu.

"My lord, you don't need to be too polite. Your subordinates are used to standing." Li Qianhu spoke in a quiet but powerful voice.

Shen Bai hadn't answered yet, but Shen Fu said first: "How can this be done? You are generals, all of you are the imperial guards in the palace, and the emperor's attendants. Please sit down and have a cup of tea!"

Shen Bai smiled after hearing this, and said to Shen Fu: "Shen Fu, don't be in a hurry, the empress has a reward for you to see."

"A reward from the empress?" Shen Fu, who was still accompanying the smiling face, became extremely excited when he heard it: "How can the young one be rewarded by the empress."

After finishing speaking, he knelt down and bowed three times in the direction of Ouchi.

Rao Li Qianhu and the rest of the Forbidden Army, all of them were from noble families or loyal descendants, and there are quite a few flattering people in the palace on weekdays, and now looking at the second steward of the Shen residence, I can't help but Mushy.

Shen Bai cursed inwardly, such a disgraceful scumbag, I don't know why Xueshi Shen fell in love with him that day, and even gave him the surname Shen.

Even if you feel unhappy, you can't say anything. After all, he has been in charge of the family for the past four years. No matter how bad his predecessor Shen Bai is, he is now taking his place.

Waving to Yuemei, Yuemei knowingly handed over a stack of papers to Shen Fu.

Shen Fu respectfully took it, and at the moment he took it, he was still thinking about what it was.

After receiving it, he shook his hands and looked at it, but his expression changed completely.

Uncle Zhong who had been following him all this time naturally didn't know about it, but just now when he heard that Concubine Shen Gui had rewarded Shen Fu, he couldn't help but feel depressed.

But Shen Fu who took the paper trembled more and more, finally knelt down again, and cried loudly to Shen Bai who was sitting in the upper nave: "Master, this, this is not true."

"Oh?" Shen Bai looked at him, and said with an unchanged expression: "This was given to you by the imperial concubine in the palace. How dare you say it's not true?"

"Your... noble concubine!" Shen Fu couldn't help dripping sweat from his head when Shen Fu heard it, and his oily face could not be described with rich and colorful expressions.

"Li Qianhu, how do you deal with corruption in the palace?" Shen Bai didn't want to listen to him, so he directly asked Li Changluo beside him.

"Stand dead!" The two short words fell on everyone's ears like thunder.

Although Uncle Zhong didn't know what Shen Fu was holding, he still stepped forward and bowed to Shen Bai and said, "Master, Master has always been tolerant when he was alive, do you see?"

Shen Bai looked at him, sighed and said: "If he asked Xing'er to push me into the water, he wanted to put the blame on you and let me drive your family out of the house, Uncle Zhong, would you still plead for him?"

Uncle Zhong's mind was buzzing, he turned around to look at Shen Fu, gritted his teeth, and finally did not speak again.

Shen Bai secretly sighed in his heart, after all he was an honest person, but he still didn't want to make trouble in the end.

"Li Qianhu, it doesn't conflict with laws and regulations in my house to deal with the evil slaves by itself?" Shen Bai turned to look at Li Changluo.

"Young Master, don't worry, even if the subordinate obeys the mother's will, he will naturally handle it properly and will not embarrass the young master."

"That's good." After Shen Bai finished speaking, he looked at Shen Fu who was kneeling on the ground.

Shen Fu's body was soaked in sweat, and he kowtowed constantly in fright. How could he not know that Shen Bai's conversation with Li Qianhu just now was the Shen family's intention to kill him.

"Master, please spare your life, Master, you can spare this little life for the sake of the master's sake, not only for the sake of the old slave's service for many years!" Shen Fu howled until his heart broke, his face was dripping with sweat and snot.

"Hmph, you don't die because you are greedy for ink, but you caused me to fall into the water, almost killed me, and you dare to mention my master to me." Shen Bai's face was cold, and Shen Fu felt terrified when he saw it.

Shen Fu thought that the person sitting on the seat was safe and sound, but the righteous master had already passed away. If this kind of person is not killed, how can Shen Baizai's spirit be peaceful.

"Let's deal with Li Qianhu!" Shen Bai felt apologetic to the owner in his heart, and his murderous intentions were not lost, and he thought about his past life, and he was even more angry with these duplicity people.

Li Qianhu waved his hand, two imperial guards stepped forward and pulled Shen Fu out.

"Let everyone in the mansion come and see, this is the fate of evil slaves." Shen Bai told Uncle Zhong.

"Yes, young master." Uncle Zhong nodded and went out to make arrangements.

Both Yuemei and Li Qianhu saw Shen Bai's performance in their eyes, and they had different evaluations in their hearts. On the contrary, Li Qianhu felt that the young master of Shen's residence was not as weak as the rumors outside, but he was a person who could set up a family.

Outside the courtyard, there was the sound of people walking, and after a while, the sound of heavy staff hitting was mixed with Shen Fu's begging for mercy and wailing.

Shen Bai didn't say a word, he looked at the sky outside the door, a red cloud dyed twilight and dusk was approaching.
