Originally, when the imperial envoy's wife went back to the mansion to visit relatives, the Song mansion should be full of joy under the light of such things as the glory of the ancestors, but recently, for some reason, there is a gloomy atmosphere in the mansion.

Mrs. Song and Master Song went to Biannan City again, and the servants and maids at home had a lot of gossip when they got together.

Everyone concluded that a family cannot live without a male. You see, the Song family had three daughters, but at this age, the master and wife have to go out and take care of everything by themselves, which is really hard work.

"Actually, Ma'am originally meant to let the young lady take over the business, but the young lady was upbeat and married to the royal envoy. This kind of glory and ancestors can't be asked by ordinary people to burn incense and worship Buddha. Of course, the wife and the master are happy, and they didn't stop it." It’s the truth.” Xiao Xiuyi, the maid, said while eating melon seeds beside the vermilion tall pillars in front of the rice barn.

"Although I said so, the second young lady is also very powerful. She can confront the madam and the master like this... It would be great if she hadn't run away from home, and now her life and death are uncertain..." The servant Xiaoyong said this. Xiu's hand immediately covered his mouth, covering his troubled mouth tightly.

"Don't talk nonsense. The second lady's matter is forbidden in the Song family. Are you brave enough to mention it again? If the eldest lady hears about it, you can't bear it and walk away!" Xiaoxiu stared at Xiaoxiu with a pair of beautiful eyes. Yong, Xiaoyong smelled the aroma of her fingertips, and for a moment he was heaven and earth, no matter what Xiaoxiu said, he would just nod.

The gloomy atmosphere of the Song Mansion even attracted the attention of the police. When Shen Qingrong stood in front of the door and asked the servant to report, the servant ran all the way to the lobby.Song Manjun was sitting in the lobby chatting with the city guard of Biannan City who came to visit, and the servant ran in panic to report something.

Song Manjun asked him to speak directly, but the servant looked at the city guard of Nancheng, hesitant to speak, the city guard still had this wink, so he left first.

As soon as the city guard left, the servant told Song Manjun that an official from the yamen wanted to see her.This servant was one of the maids and servants who forcibly dragged Song Manzhen back from the Yamen that day. Although he didn't know the truth of the matter, there must be no good for the official to come uninvited.

"Officer?" Song Manjun sat upright, his eyes froze for a moment, showing an impatient look, "Why did she come here?"

"I, I didn't ask..."

Song Manjun's impatient look became more obvious: "Madam didn't tell you, but whenever someone visits, do you have to ask the other party's purpose first? Do you think we have so much time to pay attention to these people one by one?"

Mrs. Song has always been gentle and courteous, not to mention leaving guests outside, even beggars would personally deliver a bowl of fragrant rice as long as she had free time, so the servants and maids did not have the habit of screening guests.But Song Manjun is obviously different. She behaves arrogantly and aggressively, and she has been like this since she was a child.

Seeing the servant being put on the spot, Song Manjun sighed: "I guess you didn't say that there was no one at home, so let him in."

"But, doesn't the eldest miss not want to see the official? Let me send it away..." The servant thought that being smart and hardworking at this time would be able to save her dull image, but she really underestimated Song Manjun's patience.

The teacup in Song Manjun's hand flew towards the servant's forehead, and there was a muffled "boom", and the servant fell to the ground with blood streaming from his forehead.

The two servants and two maidservants who were still standing around were stunned and turned pale.

However, Song Manjun seemed to have nothing happened, and his tone of voice did not change: "Go out and invite the official to come in."

"Yes……"

Shen Qingrong followed the servants through the gate and entered the reception hall through the garden.

Shen Qingrong saw that the Feng Shui decoration of the Song Mansion was extremely sophisticated, and he was indeed a businessman.However, every part of this decoration seems to be cautious, and it does not seem to be the style of a wealthy businessman who thinks he has been in business for many years.Shen Qingrong checked the family affairs of the Song Mansion before coming to the Song Mansion.The eldest lady of the Song family is well-known; the second lady was once a hot socialite in Lanzhou City. It is said that she is as beautiful as a fairy and was pursued by many people in the social circle of rich children in the city. She disappeared without a trace and no one knows where she went; the third lady, Song Manzhen, was born intelligent, and she was the smartest student in the private school since she was a child.But Song Manzhen took advantage of her cleverness, so she didn't read the book very seriously, and the martial artist invited by her family also said that she practiced martial arts carelessly and only learned a little superficiality.

Everything is in line with the doubts in Shen Qingrong's heart and the confessions of everyone in Chunjiangye. Song Manzhen did go to Chunjiangye that night and also entered Linshui Pavilion, and the time was very close to what Wu Zuo said.Now as long as Song Manzhen has seen her hand, she can tell whether He Fa was killed by her.

But, is the imperial envoy's wife, Song Manjun, in the Song Mansion now?

Thinking of Song Manjun, Shen Qingrong remembered some rumors, her pace slowed down for a while, and then quickly accelerated again, walking into the lobby.

Song Manjun was gentler than Shen Qingrong imagined, at least she was smiling at her from the beginning to the end, and she responded cooperatively to any questions she asked.

"Manzhen? How come?" But when it came to Song Manzhen's matter, Song Manjun's smile became even brighter, and the teacup in his hand never put down, "My third sister contracted a cold seven days ago and has been recuperating at home , Three days ago, she started to have a high fever and hasn't stepped out of her boudoir, how could she go to that Spring River Night?"

"Really?" Shen Qingrong replied as if talking to herself.

Song Manjun looked at Shen Qingrong's delicate face, which looked like a hibiscus without any makeup.

"Master Shen, where exactly is Spring River Night?"

"Brothel." Shen Qingrong said.

Song Manjun laughed and said: "Officer Shen said it was a brothel. What does my third sister, a big girl, do in a brothel? It doesn't make sense. Besides, Officer Shen, what is going on with our Song family? Do you want to know more about my family background before asking? This is obviously someone who wants to frame my third sister."

Shen Qingrong said: "Miss Song San is ill, Shen knows some medical skills, I wonder if it is convenient for me to take Miss Song San's pulse..."

"I studied medicine at the age of five and at the age of 15 I was able to go to the clinic to treat diseases with others. I can handle my sister's affairs by myself, so I don't need to bother Mr. Shen."

"Well, that's good. Then Shen will take my leave first, so I won't bother you any more."

Shen Qingrong walked easily, Song Manjun felt a little strange in his heart, and followed after thinking about it.Seeing Shen Qingrong walking on the garden path from a distance, with the servant following behind her, suddenly Shen Qingrong turned around and walked westward, heading towards Song Manzhen's room!

Song Manjun's complexion changed. Unexpectedly, Shen Qingrong knew the location of Song Manzhen's room when she came to the Song family for the first time, and then said in a low voice: "Stop her!"

All the servants in the Song Mansion ran behind Shen Qingrong, but none of them could catch up with her. They could only watch helplessly as she got closer and closer to Song Manzhen's room!

Of course, Shen Qingrong came to Song Mansion for the first time, and of course she didn't know where Song Manzhen's boudoir was at first.But the Song Mansion's feng shui full of decorations betrayed the third lady's position.Since Mr. Song is so particular about Feng Shui, it is impossible not to make arrangements for his family's boudoir, and according to Feng Shui, the youngest girl's boudoir must be placed in the west!

Shen Qingrong's lightness kung fu is very good, and she has arrived at the door of the westernmost room in an instant.Just as she was about to push the door, Song Manjun had already arrived, which made Shen Qingrong momentarily puzzled——Song Manjun didn't seem to have the spirit of martial arts, how could she catch up with her in such a short time?

Seeing that Shen Qingrong was about to push the door, Song Manjun stepped up and clamped the opponent's wrist. Shen Qingrong retracted, twisted, buckled and turned around, and easily broke free from Song Manjun's restraint.When Song Manjun came back to look at Shen Qingrong again, she had already opened the door.

The cold wind blows from the room, making Song Manjun shiver.Shen Qingrong looked at the huge and luxurious but empty third lady's boudoir, and said nothing.Song Manjun walked in from behind her, looked around the room where the master was not there, looked at the window that had been boarded up from the outside but was now wide open, her brows were furrowed, and a sense of uneasiness crept into her heart...

Chun Shui has become accustomed to the musty smell and cold in the cell, she can't tell the difference between night and day without seeing the sun all day long, the only thing she can do every day is to sleep.

At this time, she was sleeping so deeply that she didn't know what year it was, and she vaguely felt itchy in her ears, and someone was calling her name.

"Spring Water..."

Chun Shui woke up faintly, and saw Song Manzhen smiling at her.

"What a dream." A smile couldn't help creeping up the corner of Chunshui's mouth, seeing Song Manzhen's young and delicate face, it seemed that the cold had been blown away by her, leaving a piece of spring breeze passing by, "This face is so beautiful..." Chunshui I thought to myself, since it is in a dream anyway, let's be presumptuous once, and raise my hand to touch Song Manzhen's face, it is hot when I touch it!

This shock completely shocked Chunshui's drowsiness, she sat up all of a sudden, staring at Song Manzhen who was in prison with her with wide eyes.

"You...how are you here?" Chun Shui couldn't believe it!

Mama Lu was beating the drum outside the yamen to complain about her grievances, almost knocking the drum to pieces. Mrs. Liu was wearing a dark blue robe, neatly attired, and appeared in front of Mama Lu together with the yamen police.

"My lord! He Fa was killed by me! The real murderer is me! It has nothing to do with Chunshui, my lord must not kill a good person by mistake!" Mother Lu knelt on the ground, and Master Liu and his party stood on the high steps, standing in the wind. In the snow, no words.

Seeing that there was no movement, Mother Lu looked up and saw Master Liu's thick black eyes looking at her.Lu's mother was dazed for a moment - such a beautiful man is really rare in the world!No!This is definitely the first time I have seen it, and I will never see a more beautiful person again!

"It seems that Miss Chunshui is very popular, but today there are so many people who came to plead for her." Master Liu smiled, and Mother Lu's soul was almost lost... Wait, wait a minute, what did you say just now? !

Song Manzhen didn't answer Chunshui's question, but just sat on the ground, and he didn't know where to get a pair of books.

"Miss Chunshui, can I have another game with Manzhen?" Song Manzhen said.

Chunshui didn't move, and looked straight at Song Manzhen.

Song Manzhen set up the table: "Miss Chunshui has always been very skilled, can you let me go first?"

He probably came to see me off—Chun Shui knew it in his heart, but he smiled silently, sitting opposite Song Manzhen, and it was ten dishes at a time.Chun Shui didn't show mercy this time, but Song Manzhen won seven rounds.

"Have I made progress?" Song Manzhen always smiled at Chunshui very gently.

"That's right, Xiao Manzhen is indeed smart, and her skills are already superior to mine in just a few days."

Song Manzhen didn't know if she was joking: "In this way, Miss Chunshui will fall in love with me?"

Hearing Song Manzhen's words, Chunshui rarely showed shyness: "Manzhen, to be honest, I fell in love with you a long time ago. I never thought that I would meet such a loving and righteous person like you before I was born." .If possible...I really want to serve you for the rest of my life. But I'm afraid, only the next life."

Infinite tenderness flowed in Song Manzhen's eyes: "With Miss Chunshui's words, Manzhen has nothing to worry about."

Sensing the strangeness in Song Manzhen's words, Chunshui looked carefully at Song Manzhen's face, and found with difficulty that her forehead was covered with thin sweat...

"Manzhen, you..."

This is when the jailer approached and said to Chun Shui: "Someone has already confessed, Master Liu said you can go out, go!"

Chun Shui's eyes widened, and he wanted to say something to Song Manzhen again but was dragged away by the jailer.

"Wait a minute! Manzhen!" Chunshui's voice echoed in the empty cell, until Song Manzhen fell to the ground.

The pain in her knee made her groan uncontrollably, and the prolonged concentration drained her last bit of energy.Chunshui's smile and voice made her intoxicated in the semi-consciousness, and gradually, the pain was about to disappear...
