As the day of the Flower Soul Exhibition neared, Shen Zhui summoned all of the dancer s here to discuss it. Because of Leng Shaoyu's anger that day, he forcefully dragged Luo Shang, who found it hard to move, here.

"Flower Soul Exhibition is your only chance to rise above the masses. Whether or not you can accompany the king in one go will depend on your performance this time around. You should also know that the young miss Qian'er at the start of the year has now become the His Majesty's most beloved imperial concubine. Whether or not we can seize this opportunity will depend on all of you. " Shen Changqing reminded them what they should do in the remaining time.

Originally, Luo Shang wanted to say a few more words, but a voice from the crowd shouted out, causing everyone to look over in shock.

Su Qing walked through the crowd with dignified steps.

"Sister Su Qing, aunty has been here for a long time. When did you start to look down on your aunt?" A dancer who was on good terms with Qing Ning had spoken coldly, and had purposely provoked her.

Su Qing did not even look at her, and struck her shoulder fiercely, directly heading towards Shen Zhui and the others.

In front of Shen Changqing, she first bowed respectfully, then looked towards the arrogant and lovable Qing Ning, slowly taking out an exquisite jade bracelet from her sleeves, for everyone to see, she raised it very high.

Seeing the jade bracelet, Qing Ning's body trembled, she could not help but to retreat, her eyes were filled with fear, her eyes that were previously proud and charming were immediately filled with fear, as though she had guessed something.

"Qing Ning, you should be familiar with this item." Su Qing smiled and purposely asked her.

Under the support of the dancer beside him, Qing Ning straightened her body and pretended that nothing had happened. She opened her eyes wide and said: "This is only a bracelet, how could I be familiar with it. But you, Su Qing, are still trying to be mystifying when you're too late, what crime should you take as? "

Su Qing merely sneered, she turned to Shen Changqing and said: "Aunt, it is not that Su Qing is late, it is just to investigate an important matter."

She held up the jade bracelet, and continued to speak to the crowd: "This bracelet was found in the grass under the window of the firewood house where the princess was locked. Everyone is well aware of why the woodshed was on fire, so this person who set the fire on fire is the owner of the bracelet. Miss Qing Ning. "

Su Qing, you have always hated me, so there is no need to use such a framing method to harm me. Aunt, you have to avenge me ah — "Qing Ning wiped her eyes with her mucus and tears, as if she had suffered a great grievance and was shaking Shen Changqing's clothes.

Luo Shang knew that someone intentionally set the woodshed on fire that day. She also knew who those people were, but they were all in the past and she didn't want to pursue the matter further and cause trouble for no reason.

But she didn't know that if you didn't harm people, they would still harm you.

"There are so many people here, what right do you have to be so certain that this bracelet belongs to me, Qing Ning? Su Qing, what exactly are you at ease about?" Qing Ning defended herself and refused to admit it.

Su Qing laughed, if she did not have complete confidence in herself, she would not have stood here. When she was released, she heard from maidservant about how the firewood house went crazy and almost burned Luo Shang to death, so she directly went to the scene.

The woodshed had already been burnt to ashes. When she went, all that was left was a pile of white ash that was blown everywhere by the wind.

It looked like the fire was not weak, luckily Luo Shang had been saved by the King Jin in time, otherwise her life would have definitely not survived.

In order to search for clues, she had walked around the ruins more than ten times and still couldn't find any clues. Just as she was about to leave, she found the jade bracelet by the side of the bush. Qing Ning's jade bracelet.

"You should know best whether this bracelet is yours or not. You see, this bracelet is exquisite and exquisite, the gem inside it is clearly the rich and flourishing of Jiangnan province, and our woman here, from Jiangnan province, and from a famous family, there is only one. It is Master Qing's precious daughter, Miss Qing Ning. " Su Qing gave the bracelet to Qing Ning, and the hand on the back of Qing Ning's hand lightly patted it a few times.

Qing Ning clenched her teeth tightly, she was afraid that she would not be able to escape, this damned Su Qing, sooner or later she would have to get rid of her.

Looking at Shen Changqing's expression, Qing Ning knew that if this continued, trouble would definitely arise. She hurriedly said: "This bracelet is indeed mine, but a few days ago, I had already bestowed it to someone else, Xing Er. As for why it would suddenly appear outside the woodshed, I don't know. "

Xing Er, who was standing behind Qing Ning, panicked for a moment. She did not think that Qing Ning would push all the blame onto her.

"Xing Er, you set the fire?" Shen Changqing asked seriously.

Everyone knew that Shen Changqing hated his subordinates for conspiring against each other. If they were to be exposed today, it would be hard for them to escape death.

"Ah?" I … No, not … It's not me. " Xing Er waved both of her hands back and forth, constantly shaking her head in denial.

Shen Changqing had stayed in the palace for even longer than they did, so she could tell at a glance if she was lying or not with a single glance. Her gaze locked onto Xing Er's body, and used her nasal voice to make a long sound.

"Hmm?"

This sound scared Xing Er, so she immediately kneeled down and kowtowed until her head was bleeding.

"servant knows she was wrong, servant knows she was wrong, auntie, spare me! Sister Qing Ning, you want to save me, you want to save me-"

Xing Er was so scared that both of her eyes were watery. Her legs that were kneeling on the ground were trembling uncontrollably, her hands on the ground as she kowtowed continuously.

"From the moment you entered the Backyard, this aunt had already said that you all should never do anything that was utterly heartless. I had kept my eyes shut all the time you all waited for you all, but now you all actually did such a malicious thing, it is unforgivable." Although Shen Changqing did not like Luo Shang, he did not deliberately make things difficult for her. If she did not make a mistake, he would not intentionally punish her.

Now, he did not want his subordinates to do such a thing. Fortunately, Luo Shang was fine.

"Aunty, spare me, please spare me! servant will not dare to do so again, servant will not dare to do so again!" Xing Er's head was on the ground, bleeding profusely, her face covered with tears.

Qing Ning's eyes moved, a look of evil flashed past her face.

"Xing Er is truly foolish, to actually do such a foolish thing, but thinking of the fact that it was a first time offense, I hope Aunt can take it easy." Qing Ning pleaded.

Shen Changqing's face was calm, as though there was no room for discussion, and she directly ordered the maidservant Sect behind her: "Backyard, Xing Er has violated the rules of the sect, and deliberately harmed the lives of everyone, and she shall be handed over to the Lord Management in charge to deal with. "Take him away."

Xing Er immediately squatted on the ground, looking like she was on the verge of collapsing, she was so scared that she didn't know what to do, and grabbed onto the corner of Shen Changqing's clothes as she begged for mercy. The Lord Management in charge of law enforcement had always been impartial, so he would definitely send her to the government offices.

No, not yet. Xing Er shook her head and crawled towards Qing Ning. Sister Qing Ning, save me, save me, I don't want to die yet, Xing Er doesn't want to die — "

Seeing how difficult it was for Shen Changqing to change her attitude, Qing Ning understood that there was no point in speaking any further.

She squatted down, forcibly took away the hand Xing Er was pulling tightly onto her skirt, and said: "Elder sister is very sorry for not taking care of you, Xing Er, you have to take responsibility for what you have done wrong. Big sister cannot save you, she is only willing to be a obedient little sister in her next life."

She was truly heartless.

Xing Er felt very pained. She cried and laughed at her own foolishness. Sister Qing Ning, how can you, how can you treat me like this, it's all because of... "

Without waiting for Xing Er to finish speaking, Qing Ning quickly said: "Don't blame this sister for not being able to save you, the only thing this sister can do for you, is to take care of your family and your big brother Kang. "Don't worry."

She was very clear about Qing Ning's family background, how could she afford to offend and climb all over him? Now that she had threatened him with her family and the childhood sweetheart, Xing Er's only choice was to die.

Xing Er's mother had died since she was young. Her father was a government yamen runner and could be considered a decent official, but he had married a cunning foster mother and frequently beat her up. Only his Big Brother Kang kept protecting her, so only if she died in's place could she keep her Big Brother Kang safe forever.

"Xing Er understands. Thank you, Big Sister Qing Ning for your kindness. I will definitely repay you in my next life." Xing Er cried, and enunciated the hatred in her heart word by word.

She let out a silly laugh, turned around and rushed towards a rough red lacquer pillar, trying to find a short cut.

Ah!

Just as everyone was busy reacting, they saw a figure quickly rushing over, quickly pushing Xing Er away, and then the two of them fell to the ground.

"Luo …" Wang … "Princess Hua-Yang." Xing Er crawled up from the ground, and when she turned around, he saw that Luo Shang was lying beside her.

It was Luo Shang who pushed her away.

"Why don't you let me die? I killed you, so I deserve to die. You want me to die more miserably, don't you? Or do you want to torture me to see my miserable end? I hate to say that you were not burned to death in that fire. " Xing Er's voice became louder, her eyes filled with killing intent.

"Pa ~ ~ ~"

Following that, a resounding slap landed on Xing Er's face.

Xing Er was startled, he raised his head and stared at her.

Luo Shang said: "How can you easily make decisions for parents who receive physical pain?"

"Luo Shang supported herself on the hard ground as she knelt at Shen Changqing's feet. Luo Shang begs for Manager Shen to forgive Xing Er. "

Xing Er was not the only one who was stunned, everyone present was also stunned. Only Su Qing merely smiled faintly.

Xing Er almost burned her to death. It was said that if this person was burned to death, her soul would be destroyed, and there would be no possibility of him even leaving behind some ashes, let alone reincarnating. Was Luo Shang muddled at such a cruel kill, or was she stupid? She would plead for mercy on behalf of the murderer.

"Luo Shang, you must think this through." Shen Changqing looked at her and reminded her.

Luo Shang smiled and said, "Please grant my wish, Aunt."

Hearing her words, Shen Changqing sighed. Alright, since you aren't pursuing the matter any further, this aunt will temporarily forgive her life. Xing Er is not allowed to participate in Flower Soul Exhibition every year. After three years have expired, you can leave, and find a way to survive. "

"Thank you, aunt. "Thank you, Aunt. Thank you for not killing me." Xing Er kowtowed to thank her with all her might.

"The one you should be thanking isn't me, it's her." Shen Changqing spoke while looking at Luo Shang, but this time, she actually nodded at Luo Shang, as though she was no longer as cold. She waved the handkerchief in her hand, and a large group of maidservant followed behind her, leaving this place in a dense mass.
