Shen Jingci didn't want to care about their lifelong grievances, and she didn't have the heart to listen to Mr. Shen's past history. After Mr. Shen finished speaking, she suddenly looked embarrassed and asked, "Grandpa, were you raped before?" The craftsmen imprisoned by the emperor know a lot of our family’s secrets, can you transfer all our family’s connections?”
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Shen was shocked and asked, "What craftsman?" He was arrested when he was sleeping at home, and he had no idea what happened. After being brought here, he was imprisoned alone. How could he know about the craftsman
Upon hearing this, Shen Jingci immediately felt relieved. She was betting that Mr. Shen didn't know any craftsmen at all, which provided her with an opportunity.
Shen Jingci pretended to be uncomfortable and recounted what happened in the court, and finally said, "I don't know how they found that craftsman, but he actually told us everything about our family. Now I'm just worried that the emperor knows If we find out the forces behind our family, then our charges will be confirmed!"
Hearing this, Mr. Shen frowned tightly. He thought for a long time before waving his hand to signal Shen Jingci to come over and said in a low voice, "Ci'er, only grandpa knows about this matter, and I don't know about it now." I'm hiding it from you, but the so-called force behind our Shen family is actually an army! This army is not in the capital, and has been broken into pieces and hidden by grandpa. Now you can help grandpa do something, and after it is completed, this army will The army will be yours.”
As he spoke, he took a deep breath and added, "This army is usually skilled craftsmen, but in critical moments, one can equal ten assassins and soldiers! Although the number is small, the victory lies in their excellence. Our Shen family is Whether we can survive this critical moment depends on them."
A look of horror suddenly appeared on Shen Jingci's face, but her heart was filled with waves. Mr. Shen is really an old fox. He actually hid such a good thing and kept it secret so tightly that he didn't even know about it!
"Grandpa, this, this is a capital crime!"
Seeing Shen Jingci's appearance, Mr. Shen immediately snorted and said, "If I don't tell it, no one will know. Okay, you can help me invite King Qi here now, and wait until King Qi helps me do it." Whatever happens, everything belonging to our Shen family belongs to you!"
Mr. Shen spent a lot of money this time. The conditions he proposed were too generous. Shen Jingci didn't want to and couldn't refute it. She just kept the look of a good granddaughter on her face and said sadly, "Grandpa, what will you do in your life?" Having suffered like this, my granddaughter’s heart—"
After all, she is his granddaughter. When Mr. Shen saw her like this, he would be lying if he said he was not moved. He touched her head through the cell door and said lovingly, "Cier, grandpa watched you grow up. Although you He has a temperament like a man, but he is also a filial child. Don't worry, our Shen family will survive this, I believe in grandpa."
Shen Jingci nodded heavily, wiped her tears, and said resolutely, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely complete what you asked me to do. If King Qi really doesn't come, I will kneel down and beg." He must also ask him to come!”
"You don't have to beg him! Humph, let me tell you, if King Qi knows about this, it's time for him to beg me!" Mr. Shen looked like he was in a desperate situation, which made Shen Jingci also start to doubt that this Mr. Shen What was the reason for Xiao Junhan that made him so confident
It's just that she is too lazy to think so much at the moment. Mr. Shen is an old fox, hanging himself with such a big piece of fat. Not to mention asking her to invite Xiao Junhan, even if she was asked to go up mountains of swords and seas of fire, she had to be willing to do it.
Shen Jingci was thinking about things in her mind, and returned to Prince Qi's Mansion after leaving the prison.
But she didn't know that just after she left, a man in black quickly walked out of a cell with Mr. Shen's back facing him. After briefly chatting with the cell leader, he left the cell and went straight to the cell. Respect the palace.
Xie Ruzhuo had just seen off a group of guests and was squeezing his arms with some soreness in his waist and knees when he heard Hongrui coming to deliver a message with a cautious look on her face, "Miss, the old ghost is here."
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo immediately put aside his tired look and became energetic, "Let him come in."
After the old ghost came in, he didn't say much and just told everything that happened in the prison.
After hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo remained indifferent for a while, then slowly revealed a bloodthirsty smile, "Oh, an army that was reduced to pieces? The Shen family has such a big appetite!"
"Young Master, do you want me to continue to follow you? I have a gut feeling that that secret is a big fish." The old ghost is always cautious in doing things, and the things he is sure of are usually correct.
Xie Ruzhuo nodded and said, "Go ahead and find someone to take your place. The prison is not a place to stay in. Don't tire yourself out."
When I went to the frontier before, it was the old ghost who went with me. The Shen family's stationery and the letter were all handled by the old ghost. As for the spy, he was actually a dead soldier in the Yue army ambushed by Tianmen.
Everything the Xie family calculated was actually due to helplessness. Because after the old ghost went to the border, he discovered that someone really wanted to kill Xie Huainan! And this strategy is the only way to get Xie Huainan out of the tiger's den.
After coming back, the old ghost asked himself to go to Tianlao to watch Mr. Shen, just to steal information that would be beneficial to the Xie family.
The old ghost chuckled and said, "I'm not tired. As long as Hongrui is well, I'll be fine." As he said that, he couldn't help but look back at Hongrui, and sure enough, he saw her face blushing again.
Xie Ruzhuo sneered and said, "Don't worry, I can't treat my maid badly. As for you, if you dare to treat her badly in the future, I won't forgive you!"
Hearing this, the old ghost immediately swore, "Don't worry, young master. I will give Hongrui whatever I have to eat in the future. I would rather starve and freeze than let my wife suffer any injustice!"
Hongrui couldn't bear it anymore, stamped her feet and yelled, "Who is your wife?" She turned her head and went out with her face covered.
The old ghost was still smiling proudly behind him, "My wife is ashamed."
Xie Ruzhuo sighed and scolded with a smile, "That's it. Go out and do your work. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. You don't have to go to the prison to watch. You can reunite with your future wife."
Upon hearing this, the old ghost immediately became happy, "Thank you, young master!"
It wasn't until the old ghost left the door that Xie Ruzhuo stopped smiling and showed a slight sadness.
If the previous crises were planned by the Xie family themselves, then after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xie Huainan went to the battlefield again. Everything we face at that time will be the real dragon's pond and tiger's den. And in all this, no one can help except himself.
It is up to Xie Huainan to find out who the worm is hiding in the army, who is the traitor who is really colluding with the Yue State!
No one can help, after all, he is the next target.
Xie Ruzhuo sighed when he thought of this, and felt a gloomy cloud in front of him again.
However, Shen Jingci did not delay all the way and returned directly to Prince Qi's Mansion. Unexpectedly, after arriving home, no one else saw her, but Qin Wanyi was seen first.
Seeing the latter dressed in a bright red palace robe, receiving gifts from the guests in an orderly manner, and looking like he was the master, Shen Jingci felt gnashing of teeth and hatred in her heart.
But she returned to hatred, but the expression on her face adjusted back in an instant, and she said, "Greetings to my sister."
Qin Wanyi was talking to the guests. When she saw her, she nodded lightly and asked, "Where have you been, and why are you back at this time?"
Shen Jingci forced a smile and said, "I will go out and do some errands as I asked you to do. If my sister is okay, I will go and report to you first."
Hearing that it was an errand arranged by Xiao Junhan, Qin Wanyi said kindly, "Then go quickly, don't delay my errand."
"I understand."
Shen Jingci saluted again, then turned around and walked towards Xiao Junhan's yard. But there was a faint voice of disdain from the noble lady behind her, "This Shen family has committed a capital crime. Princess, you are too lenient to keep her!"
Then came Qin Wanyi's indifferent voice, "She is just a concubine. Even if she is on the royal jade plate, she is still a plaything. If the prince likes it, what's wrong with keeping it? As long as the prince does not spoil his concubine and destroy his wife, I will have nothing to do with it. It can be said.”
Hearing these words, Shen Jingci felt another thorn in her heart.
It wasn't until she reached a deserted place that Shen Jingci broke off a sprig of sweet-scented osmanthus as if to vent her anger, and then ravaged it in her hands for a long time in retaliation. She secretly gritted her teeth and said, "Just wait. When I pass this level, I will definitely I want you to see who is like a plaything!"
After a long time, Shen Jingci adjusted her emotions, put a smile on her face again, and entered Xiao Junhan's yard.
Xiao Junhan knew about Shen Jingci's going out. So when Shen Jingci conveyed what Mr. Shen meant, Xiao Junhan immediately frowned, "He asked me to see him?"
Shen Jingci nodded and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, grandpa said that he knows a secret, which will be a great help to the prince. If the prince doesn't go, I'm afraid this secret will be told to others. I have been asking for a long time, but grandpa just bites me. He gritted his teeth and refused to say anything, and even said that this was life-saving news for the Shen family."
Hearing this, the light in Xiao Junhan's eyes suddenly lit up, "It must be extremely important for him to say this. But, what kind of thing can make him so precious?"
Xiao Junhan was puzzled. Shen Jingci fanned the flames and said, "Why don't you just go there? Although my grandfather is old, he is a veteran of two dynasties after all. He may have many secrets in his heart. You just want to go there." It took a lot of time, but if I really know the secret that is beneficial to you, wouldn’t it be a great help to the prince?”
Her words reached Xiao Junhan's heart. As she thought about it, Xiao Junhan asked suspiciously, "Is the old man's words reliable?"
Shen Jingci deliberately pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Grandpa has been running the Shen family all these years. I really don't know what he has done."
Seeing that what she said was reasonable, Xiao Junhan nodded and said, "Okay, I will go to the prison to see him after August 15th. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet, and I can't be careless."
Shen Jingci happily agreed and saluted, "I'm here with you, grandpa, to thank you."
When she smiled, there was a romantic charm in her eyes. She obviously looked inviolable and cold, but in bed she looked like a slut.
Xiao Junhan was aroused by her appearance, and couldn't help but feel angry again. He pulled her into his arms and said with a bad smile, "How are you going to thank me?"
Shen Jingci didn't understand what he meant, so she cuddled up shyly in Xiao Junhan's arms and said affectionately, "I am now yours, how else do you want me to thank you?"
Xiao Junhan was seduced by her charming appearance, how could she hold back? At that moment, a hungry tiger pounced on the sheep and pounced on Shen Jingci under him.
