Madam Feng slowly opened her mouth, but didn't stop Xiu Ying from forcefully pulling Aunt Wang up.

Old Master Shen took a deep breath, his patience reaching its limit.

"First of all, as I told you, it was too much of a coincidence that Aunt Cui was pregnant with a slip. Second, since Aunt Cui was pregnant, why was she still lighting incense in the house? She was a person who had been raised before, so how could she not know about these things? Or could it be that all of these coincidences are because she knows that the baby in her womb can't be preserved?! "

Madam Feng had hit the nail on the head and even overturned Old Master Shen's previous judgement.

It wasn't that Aunt Cui didn't love this baby, but that it might not be preserved at all!

Old Master Shen was silent for a moment after hearing Lady Feng's penetrating analysis. His heart thumped in his chest.

He had just come out of Aunt Cui's room, and every day for the past few days had passed. He knew that Aunt Cui had been burning incense.

Great Master Shen suddenly didn't dare to think any further.

Aunt Wang had already been pulled up by Xiu Ying. Her eyes were dry from tears, and her face was expressionless as she stood there. Old Master Shen could not calm down no matter how he looked at it.

Madam Feng knew that her words alone wouldn't be enough to clear Aunt Wang of her suspicions. She called for Xin Mei to come in. Just as she was about to give her orders, Xiu Ying walked up with red eyes. He whispered in her ear, "Mother, I'm going to find that old woman. I want to know what kind of things she gave me."

His daughter was only eight years old. She had seemed very excited earlier, but now she was extremely calm. It was as if he had become reserved in the blink of an eye.

She was also talking about what Madam Feng was about to do. Madam Feng thought about it. Even though her daughter had never seen that old woman's full appearance before, it was still better than blindly searching for her daughter. He nodded and helped her wipe the corners of her eyes. Then, he softly instructed the mandarin plum as he watched the large and small figures leave.

Madam Feng had instructed the matter to avoid Master Shen on purpose. He really wanted to know what his eldest daughter and this little girl were up to, but he couldn't open his mouth to ask. He could only suppress the anger in his heart and continue to sit.

It was almost dark outside, and she took the lantern to the long room where the servants lived, wondering how not to alarm them. Xiu Ying looked to the west, where the stars were shining, and stopped.

"Manmei, there's no need to go to the back room. Let's go to the gatehouse."

Ah?

Chun Mei looked at her blankly. Xiu Ying had already turned around and was heading toward the front yard. That day, she did not see how her wife looked like, but she saw her wife's sleeves.

That dress was not the fabric that served in the inner chamber. Instead, it served in the inner chamber, which was made of fine cloth. There was even silk like a mandarin plum. Perhaps that old woman was from the outer court, or perhaps she was a gatekeeper!

Only then would they have to hand things over to the garden, and the guard would have a chance to take them in!

Xiu Ying had her own thoughts and hurried over to the gatehouse. Shen Junxiao wanted to pay his respects to Old Lady Shen, so the two bumped into each other on the veranda.

"Where are you going?" Shen Jun smiled at the mandarin plum beside her and shouted to stop her.

"Third uncle." Xiu Ying's expression was solemn as she bowed. "I need to check on some matters at the gatehouse."

Gatekeeper?!

"What are we going to do now?" As he spoke, he had already taken her hand and was about to go with her.

Xiu Ying didn't have anything to hide from Shen Junxiao, so she told him everything that had happened. Chun Mei listened carefully, her mouth hanging open in surprise. Were they really only eight years old? Many of them were things she had never expected.

Shen Junxiao had already heard the story about the long room from Sian, but he didn't expect that Xiu Ying would personally investigate, and his elder sister-in-law would also let her off.

But her intelligence was astonishing.

Shen Jun smiled thoughtfully and followed her.

Those people at the gatehouse had always been dog-eyed. Although they didn't want to make things difficult for the little girl, it was hard to say what sort of fool they were.

With the addition of Shen Jun's smile, things had to be done at least half the time. Some things didn't even need to be asked, but they were already like beans being poured.

Although she had heard a lot of nonsense, Yu Ying still had to find out the names of the people who had seen the doors of each mansion.

Shen Jun smiled at Cores and said, "There's no need to sneakily ask. Just ask someone to tie them up and ask." He couldn't interfere in the affairs of the main house, so he could only give his opinion.

These people were all old people from the manor, so it was impossible for them to ask about it in secret. They were all intelligent people, so they might as well capture them and intimidate them. I think he was quick to confess.

Shen Junxiao then turned to Xiu Ying and said, "Why don't you call Lang Zhong back to the mansion and ask him?"

Lang Zhong?!

What's the use of asking? It's a flat tire anyway.

Xiu Ying looked through the candlelight at his stern face. Seeing that he seemed to be deep in thought after he finished speaking, Xiu Ying's eyebrows jumped up.

"Thank you for your reminder, Third Uncle!"

Saying that, he started to run out, but Shen Jun smiled and pulled her back, "It's dark outside, aren't you afraid of going into the ditch? I'll send you back. " This little girl used to run just like that?!

Xiu Ying could not retort. Even though there would be no ditches in the house, it was already dark.

Aunt Cui was also paying attention to the room.

After scouting around for a while, Sanxue returned to the room. She glanced at Aunt Cui, who was covering her forehead with sweat on the bed, and softly said, "Aunt, Master has not come out since he entered the Jia Xin Institution. He has yet to pass the order. "One thing is strange. The mandarin plum took the girl to the front yard." Jiaxin Institution was like a fortress, and Sanxue could only find out about this.

Aunt Cui frowned in dissatisfaction.

What was the difference between this and not saying it?

However, she was also a smart person, so she was able to sense that something was amiss. Thus, she asked, "What about Aunt Wang?"

"Aunt Wang was still there. There was always a cry before, but it stopped after."

Jia Xin Yuan was actually so calm. Since it was such a convention, Aunt Wang should be imprisoned soon.

As Aunt Cui was thinking, Shen Lian, who had just returned from a peaceful trip to the academy, saw her on the bed and her eyes turned red, "Aunt, do you still feel any pain? Grandmother told me to bring a lot of tonics back for you to take care of your body." Grandmother says she won't let that little slut go! "

When Jiao Jiao's daughter arrived, Aunt Cui stopped thinking and comforted her gently, "Aunt is fine. You'll have a younger brother soon."

Shen Lian looked at her strangely. Had her brother not disappeared? Why did he have a brother again?

Aunt Cui smiled at her with a smug look in her eyes. "In the future, Brother Xiang will come to us. Your father said it himself. In the future, Brother Xiang will be your younger brother." "You have to get along well with him …"

Brother Xiang?!

Shen Lian's face changed and she shouted, "I don't want Brother Xiang to be my brother. Shen Ying likes him, I don't! And he's also the son of that Aunt Wang! "

When Aunt Cui heard this, her expression darkened. She was about to scold her daughter when Suo'er heard the latest news and stumbled in.

"Aunt!" "Oh no, Lady Chen has been tied up and sent to the Jia Xin Yuan!"
