Chapter 71

071 assassin attack

"Grandma, please forgive me. I can't go back..." Shen Muyun cried and fell at the old lady's feet.

Shen Xinzhi knew how she would treat her once the apple of her eye when she lost her innocence. Shen Muyun didn't dare to think about it.

Shen Qingru looked on coldly and saw that Shen Muyun's beautiful face was white and haggard. She obviously hoped that the old lady would suppress the matter and not tell Shen Xinzhi. About Shen Muyun herself is also very clear that the father daughter relationship between her and Shen Xinzhi is mixed with some sincerity and utilization.

How shrewd the old lady was. Her eyes turned back and forth between Shen Qingru and Yunyang Hou. She guessed faintly in her heart. I'm afraid it's not as simple as it seems. Shen Qingru, most of whom also participated.

She knows Shen Muyun too well. This granddaughter is so arrogant that she doesn't even pay attention to the seven princes. How can she hook up with dandies like Zheng Qing? There must be a secret in this matter.

Shen Qingru may not be so simple and kind on the surface. I'm afraid the child is the one who has an idea, the old lady thought secretly.

Shen Muyun was still crying and pleading, but the old lady was cold and silent. Seeing her daughter's poor appearance, Qin couldn't help holding her and crying bitterly: "old lady, if you don't return yun'er's innocence, our mother and daughter will die here today. That's all, that's all..."

Qin's embrace made Shen Muyun's shoulder quilt torn off, revealing a large piece of white jade like skin. Shen Qingru kindly pulled up the quilt wrapped around Shen Muyun, barely covered the skin on her shoulder, and sighed, "sister Yun, anyway, go back to the prime minister's house. Throwing noise in this Buddhist clean place has stained the purity of Buddhism. If you don't say it, it's not conducive to praying for the Empress Dowager. Grandma, do you think so?"

The old lady's face sank. Shen Qingru is right. The purpose of their trip is to pray for the Empress Dowager. Unexpectedly, Shen Muyun, a disgraceful, did such shameless things. If this matter comes to the palace, if the Empress Dowager's Phoenix body has another good or bad, I'm afraid the prime minister's house will be overwhelmed. At that time, there is no need to say that Shen Xinzhi will lose his official position. He is afraid that the whole family will lose their lives.

Thinking of this, I felt cold sweat on my back and couldn't help feeling a lingering fear. Shen Qingru is right. Shen Muyun's behavior almost put the whole prime minister's house in danger. This matter must be handled with caution. The top priority is not to let the wind out.

The old lady made a color behind her. Mammy Zhang and mammy Li on one side understood. They both went to Shen Muyun and stood still. They rudely carried Shen Muyun on their shoulders and walked out. One side, the old lady snorted coldly, "be tight and don't be recognized. It's really embarrassing."

Shen Muyun shrieked and shouted "mother save me". Qin's beloved daughter was eager to rush up to rescue Shen Muyun from the shackles of the two women, but she heard a cool voice: "mother doesn't think the movement of sister Yun is big enough? Everyone in Lingyuan Temple must make trouble?"

Lingyuan temple is famous for its effectiveness. Many dignitaries and dignitaries come to pray. If it is seen by any monk in the temple, word of mouth will spread to the noble people and even the emperor sooner or later. The old lady was so excited that she stared at her mother and daughter on the ground with cold eyes. They ordered, "block up their mouths for me."

Shen Muyun's treatment was a little better. Mammy Zhang took out a handkerchief from her arms and blocked Shen Muyun's mouth. Qin's family was not so lucky. They caught Jian in a hurry. How could they have so many handkerchiefs? Mammy Li untied the sweat towel in her waist and put the piece of rag mixed with sweat into a ball and stuffed it into Qin's mouth.

Shen Qingru quietly followed the old lady. The old lady looked deep and thoughtfully at the quiet girl around her and said, "fortunately, Qingru is fine. If you are involved, I can't live."

Shen Qingru quickly comforted the old lady. The old lady was still angry. For a while, she scolded Shen Muyun for being young and shameless. For a while, she scolded Qin's maidservant for being born and not knowing how to educate her daughter. Suddenly, the old lady turned and asked, "Why are you here so late? And Yunyang Hou, how did you meet together?"

The old lady's eyes fixed on Shen Qingru, trying to find a trace on her face. Shen Qingru was very calm: "the master of Lingyuan Temple told me that there was a Epiphyllum on the side of the mountain. If Qing wanted to see this Buddhist holy flower with his own eyes, he would unknowingly be deeper and heavier."

"On the way back to the room, I saw a man sneaking in front. Qingru followed him and wanted to see what he wanted. Unexpectedly, she saw sister Yun and cousin Zheng..." Shen Qingru lowered her head and seemed to disdain to mention the loss of personnel under Shen Muyun and Zheng Qinggan.

"What about Yun Yang Hou?" the old lady asked again.

Shen Qingru was surprised and didn't seem to understand why the old lady asked: "Lord Hou didn't say that sister Yun wrote to invite him. Did he come by appointment? For various reasons, grandma should ask sister Yun."

The old lady was speechless. Shen Qingru's explanation was really impeccable. Lord Huo just said so.

It seems that Shen Qingru and Lord Huo did not set up a bureau at this time. The old man breathed a sigh of relief. The old lady was more or less wary of Shen Qingru, a granddaughter who grew up away from her. Especially after Shen Qingru came back, strange things happened one after another at home. Once upon a time, Shen Muyun, who was clever and sensible, was unlucky. Qin's family also ate one after another in her hand. Is Shen Qingru intentional or unintentional?

"Sister Yun made a big mistake this time, but she is young. As a sister, I also have a certain responsibility. When I go back, I will strictly discipline my sister and ask my grandmother not to be angry." Shen Qingru's words made the old lady feel a little more comfortable. After all, from the bottom of my heart, the old lady doesn't want Shen Qingru and Shen Muyun to fight against each other.

If sisters from an aristocratic family can get along well, they will help each other no matter where they marry in the future, which is also good for their mother's family. If there is a rift in the heart, it will bring disaster to the wall. It will do harm to itself and the family. Therefore, Shen Qingru said these words to the bottom of the old lady's heart, and the old lady couldn't help but praise it.

Now it seems that although Shen Qingru grew up in the countryside, he is much better than Shen Muyun, who was carefully cultivated by Shen Xinzhi. The old lady secretly made up her mind to have a long talk with her son when she went back, so that her son could change his view of Shen Qingru.

Although she doesn't ask for anything in return for raising children and daughters, the old lady knows very well that Shen Xinzhi wants to cling to power through her daughter. Now Shen Muyun has no chance to marry into a rich family. The old lady feels that Shen Xinzhi might as well bet his treasure on his eldest daughter.

Perhaps the silent Shen Qingru is a blessed one. The old lady lovingly stroked her granddaughter's hair: "good boy, I know you are sensible. Tomorrow I'll ask manager Hu to send someone to escort you back to the house. Let's talk back to the house."

The next day, Shen Qingru left Lingyuan temple with aster. In order not to make things big yesterday, the old lady still calmly took other women's family members to pray for the Empress Dowager in Lingyuan temple.

Before leaving, Shen Qingru hesitated slightly and sent aster to deliver a message to Huo Qijun, stating that he would go back to Hou's house first. When aster came back, she told her that the manager around Hou ye said that Hou ye had an emergency and went down the mountain in the middle of the night yesterday.

What was the urgent matter that made Huo Qijun leave in such a hurry? Shen Qingru thought in the carriage.

The carriage stopped suddenly. Shen Qingru, who was thinking intently, was unprepared. His head almost hit the carriage wall. Thanks to aster's alertness and timely holding her, Shen Qingru escaped the bad luck of swelling a big bag on her head.

A servant apologized outside the carriage and said, "Damn it, I scared the eldest lady. The tree on the road ahead suddenly fell down, blocking the carriage. Please wait a little."

This section of mountain road is flat. How can there be suddenly fallen trees? Shen Qingru was suspicious and wanted to lean out to check, but suddenly heard a scream not far ahead.

The servant outside the carriage also turned pale with fear. The one who screamed clearly was the Shen servant who had just gone out to check with him.

Several masked men in black appeared on the narrow mountain path and slowly approached the carriage. The servant looked like a vegetable and reluctantly asked, "what do you want to do in broad daylight? The eldest lady of the prime minister's house is sitting in the car. If you know the prime minister, get out of here!"

The leader in black sneered and said hoarsely, "we are going to kill the eldest lady of the prime minister's house."

Ziwan guarded Shen Qingru warily and nervously looked out of the carriage: "Miss, some ideas from outside are hard to deal with. I'll trip them later. Miss runs to the mountain to find the monks of Lingyuan temple to move rescue soldiers."

A servant's plea for mercy came from outside. A moment later, there was no sound. Shen Qingru's face was slightly white. He thought that nine times out of ten the servants outside the car had been poisoned.

"Be careful yourself, aster." Shen Qingru clenched her teeth and told aster seriously.

Aster's face showed a comforting smile, turned around, looked murderous, drew his sword and rushed at the man in black in front of him. Ziwan has excellent martial arts. People in black are entangled by Ziwan and have no time to take care of Shen Qingru. Shen Qingru jumped from behind the carriage and ran straight up the mountain.

There are many people in black, and aster can't last long. She must go up the mountain as soon as possible to find reinforcements for aster.

Shen Qingru ran panting, but stopped when he turned to a narrow path. On the only way up the mountain, a man in black with a sword was standing, staring at her coldly.

She stood there, calmed her breath a little, and said calmly, "who asked you to kill me? I'll pay ten times the price, as long as you tell me the name of the mastermind behind the scenes."
