The House of the Marquis of Yongping had a plentiful family background, but it had been gone for many years, and the pavilions and pavilions were still painted with paint. Just this heritage alone was unbeatable by many aristocratic families.

Master Shen headed east along the veranda to meet the Marquis of Yongping with a complicated feeling in his heart.

Right now, the House of the Marquis of Yongping was small, but his wife's family was in the middle of the court like the sun in the sky. They were on par with the Chief Minister of the court, Elder Chen. He knew in his heart that his second brother was one of Chief Assistant Chen's men, but he still tried to curry favor with the Du Family, who stood opposite to Chief Chen.

He did so because his second brother had been a government official for the past few years. If he did not find a way out for himself, he would not be able to enter the capital for the rest of his life!

He had taken the risk, but he didn't expect that after getting closer to the Du Family, the young master of the Eternal Ping Marquis Mansion would be assassinated.

How could Old Master Shen not be worried?

Great Master Shen wished that this road could be longer. However, even if the road was longer, there should still be an end to it. While he was still apprehensive, the East District had already arrived.

A servant went to report to Master Shen before he was invited in.

The Marquis of Yongping wore a robe with the sleeves of an arrow as he sat in his master's chair. Even though he didn't speak, his martial arts style was still very imposing.

Master Shen swallowed his saliva, clasped his hands in greeting, and greeted the Marquis of Yongping, who was sitting by the side.

The Marquis of Yongping asked him to sit down in an amiable manner, and he only sat down after a good deal of rejection. He was so nervous that he didn't know how to start. Crown Prince Yongping was anxious. He opened his mouth to ask, "Has Sir Shen investigated the origins of the people you've sent?"

Old Master Shen choked, then stood up with a look of shame and said, "Heir, this official hasn't found anything." This official is incapable. "

Actually, everyone in the Yongping household had been prepared for this answer, but they wanted to confirm it.

Their House of the Marquis of Yongping was not a dry meal. They could only find out that these people came to the house of the Marquis of Yongping three or four days ago. Apart from this, there was nothing else to find out where they had come from or where they had fled to.

After Master Shen finished speaking, he clasped his hands again, wanting to continue pretending to be pitiful. The Marquis of Yongping spoke first, "Sir Shen need not blame yourself. Left and Right Cheng are not injured, they will pass as soon as they pass."

Ah? Old Master Shen's words were stuck in his throat.

The Marquis of Yongping isn't angry that easily?

On the day of the accident, the Marquis of Yongping's gaze seemed as if it could tear a person into two.

Old Master Shen did not know what had caused Marquis Yongping's transformation, but he heaved a sigh of relief in the end. As long as they did not blame him, it would be fine.

Old Master Shen came with a restless mood, but when he left, his heart calmed down and settled back into his stomach.

After he left, Crown Prince Yongping looked at his father doubtfully, "I thought that father would ask Elder Shen to look into it again."

Who knew that with just a few words, she would be able to make him leave.

Yongping smiled, took a sip of tea and said, "You don't need to know about the Shen family right now, but since you have a good relationship with Shen Da, you can't promise him anything." The three brothers of the Shen family clearly looked at each other in disagreement. Shen Da thought he did not know which faction Shen Er was from?

Shen San was also a secretive person, he was clearly a junior in the same sect as Shen San, but he did not stop Shen Er from befriending Chief Chen. It was best that they did not participate in the matters of the Shen family. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to explain it to his senior brother.

The Marquis of Yongping never stopped speaking when he was at home. He was taught that he wanted to tell his father about a letter that had come from the capital. Something had indeed happened. After which, he retrieved the letter from his robes and passed it over.

The old man received the letter, and his gaze turned deep and serene.

Something had happened.

Of course, something had happened. Otherwise, how would the Du Family be exposed? It was just that there had been a flaw somewhere. The Marquis of Yongping took the letter. After reading the contents, he fell into deep thought for a long time.

Today, the Shen family's teacher had applied for leave and the students were on vacation for a day. In the early morning, Xiu Ying was dragged to the second room by Shen Yu to make some lotus seed cakes.

Xiu Ying couldn't refuse. She could only pretend to be in the second room and knead the dough with a few radishes.

The Feng family had seen and heard from the overseer, so they came to the second room as well. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw the long table and ice bucket under the grape arbor in the courtyard. The children had put them aside and their faces were covered with rice noodles.

"You guys are making pastries. Those who don't know this might think that you've fallen into the noodles." Madam Feng laughed and teased him. Madam You stepped forward to greet him. Pinching her handkerchief, she laughed as well. "Let them play around. As long as they don't chirp by my ear."

Shen Yu Guan could hear his mother's disdain for her, and with a snort, he continued massaging the dough ball, preparing to coat it with oil.

Xiu Ying raised her head and called out to her mother, as she obediently held the dough with flower petals.

This younger cousin of hers had even said that she would try whether the steamed seed was edible or not. She had to take responsibility for herself. Whatever they did, they would definitely poison her to death!

When the two sister-in-law saw the children having fun, they took them into the house to talk.

Madam You had already decided to go to the capital, but she had yet to find an opportunity to speak to Old Madam Shen about it. Yesterday, Madam Feng had a conflict with the Cui Family.

Madam Feng gave a simple explanation of the situation, and Madam You's face was full of satisfaction. "That's how it should be. The way forward is always the eldest sister-in-law, you're too easy to talk to. Now, Mrs Cui doesn't have to be afraid anymore."

As long as it was something related to the concubine, the main wife's thoughts would always be the same. Anyone who dared to show their face would be strangled. Madam You was quite capable as well. Otherwise, how could the second branch's backyard be so quiet?

The sister-in-law and sister-in-law talked for a while, and the children outside finished filling the wad of noodles. It was time to cook it.

Shen Yu tilted his head back to let the little girl wipe off the sweat on his face.

Yesterday, she heard that Shen Lian had fainted from kneeling, so she had to ask Xiu Ying about it. After hearing it, she started to use her gossiping skills, telling Xiu Ying about which servant in the family had done something, which servant was close to death, which servant's family did not fit in?

Xiu Ying clicked her tongue.

Where on earth had she heard all this?

It wasn't easy for her to simmer until after lunch. The pastries that had been stewed had turned cold and crystal clear. In the middle, the vermilion beancurd looked extremely pleasing to the eyes. Xiu Ying immediately found an excuse to escape.

— She was going to give the pastries to Third Uncle as compensation.

After she finished speaking, she took her food box and ran like the wind. Zhi-er and Sang'er were panting heavily as they followed her.

Shen Yu guan felt abandoned, unsatisfied, he scratched at the crack in the door and muttered: "Third Uncle always has such a scary cold face, why does Big Sis keep leaning forward, I still have a lot of things I haven't told her." Third Uncle doesn't have any interesting news. "

Xiu Ying didn't know that her cousin was talking about her, so she happily rushed into Mu Xi Yuan. However, Fourth Treasure told her that her third uncle was currently entertaining guests.

It was quite rare for Third Uncle to have a guest.

Xiu Ying thought for a moment, then held up the small box in her hands for Four Treasures to see. "I will quietly go to the study room to wait for third uncle."

Sibao knew that she often stayed in Shen Junxiao's study, but he didn't avoid her, so he nodded. Xiu Ying walked around the parlour, and when she walked past, she could faintly hear a voice coming from inside.

"That Li Qinghao has become famous in the capital …"

Li Qingzhao.

Which Li Qinghao?

Xiu Ying involuntarily held her breath and stood around the corner.
