When Shen Yuan's maid saw that the dowry was missing, she naturally suspected that the Shen family had done something wrong. Her eyes turned red with anxiety and she stamped her feet in anger. She ignored Shen Cang and the others and said to Shen Yuan: "Miss, The Marquis Mansion has gone too far to bully people! My uncle has now become a murderer again, and his conduct is so bad. You might as well make peace with him and let's go home!"

When everyone heard this, they were not surprised at all.

The Hou Mansion's many coquettish operations are equivalent to riding on someone's neck and shitting. If Shen Yuan continues to tolerate it, it will be too weak.

But the words of Miss Shen broke everyone's thoughts. She said: "The death of Xiang'er has not been decided for a day, so I will wait for him for a day. He is missing and nothing has been decided yet. As for the Talking about dowry..."

Just as he was talking, he saw two detectives walking over with the grandmother beside Shen Yuan.

"Your Majesty, I have been ordered to investigate and inquire in the mansion. I took this nanny to check various places and found that the makeup boxes of the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion and the third lady contained several pieces of jewelry, all of which were from the second young lady. dowry."

These words were like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves and hit everyone's hearts hard.

Fearing that the people in the Marquis Mansion would quibble, Aunt Zhou also added: "Sir, there is a silver double-buckle bracelet in the jewelry. It was originally supposed to be a pair, but my lady wanted to find it and wear it before. There is only one left. At that time, I just thought that the little maids had put things in the wrong place without thinking about it. Now it seems that it was robbed at that time. "

Hearing this, Shen Yuan frowned but did not say a word, looking like she was extremely aggrieved but could do nothing.

In fact, she was thinking about how her plan was discovered by Mu Yunqing.

Two days ago, Mu Yunqing suddenly came to her and told her that her dowry had been secretly taken away by someone she ordered. He also told her that when she and Shen Lin reconciled in the future, she could use this to cheat the Hou family. Return all the money that the Shen family gave to the Hou Mansion to repair the mansion.

Mu Yunqing also specially took some pieces of her jewelry and had them quietly placed in Qin and Shen Miaohan's bedroom. Two of them were in pairs so that they could be used as evidence in the future.

Shen Yuan didn't know how Mu Yunqing found out about her intentions and plans, but the two of them had never interacted with each other in this house, and now the other party suddenly came to help. Shen Yuan was puzzled at first, but then he realized that maybe... …It’s because of Rong Lie.

Mu Yunqing was adopted as an adopted daughter by the eldest princess, that is, Rong Lie's adopted sister. If she was entrusted by Rong Lie to take care of her, this would make sense.

But other than that, looking at today's situation, she seemed to have a common goal, which was to make the Chuanning Hou Mansion uneasy.

After coming back to her senses, Shen Yuan heard that what Shen Cang said was because of the shallow-skinned person, and she would definitely give her an explanation for this matter. She blinked her eyes lightly and said without being humble or overbearing: "That's it... If you are brave, my wife, please make a statement in front of Mr. Gao."

As soon as he heard that a written document was about to be established, Shen Cang's expression suddenly changed, and his words were a bit forceful: "We are a family, why did we get into such a mess and only make outsiders laugh? Is it possible that this house can still afford your dowry?"

"If it's not bad, naturally there is no need to stick to this document." Shen Yuan spoke slowly and in a clear manner, leaving Shen Cang speechless. At the end, he added: "Besides, if it's not bad, why should my Will jewelry appear in the rooms of mother-in-law and third girl?"

"this……"

"If it concerns me, I can endure no matter how much grievance I suffer. For example, regarding Shen Lin, I will never give up my trust in him easily until the truth is finally revealed. But those dowries belong to my mother and grandmother. They have been passed down from generation to generation, how could I let them be lost like that!"

Everything Shen Yuan said made sense, and Goldman Sachs couldn't help but nod secretly.

Furthermore, Rong Lie had walked through his door before, so he had no reason to embarrass Shen Yuan, so he took the opportunity to agree: "What the young lady said is not unreasonable. As the saying goes, brothers are still settling accounts. So, Let me take a look, I think it would be better for the Marquis to write a written statement to confirm the truth."

Having said this, Shen Cang knew he couldn't shirk it, so he could only write a note with a sullen face. When the last stroke came down, he threw the pen away.

In fact, not to mention him, even Shen Hong and Sun couldn't help but feel frightened when they heard the word "written evidence". It was a lesson learned from the past and people did not dare to take it lightly.

This time, Shen Cang was cautious when he pressed his fingerprint on the receipt and showed it to Goldman Sachs to confirm that it was correct.

After taking the receipt, Shen Yuan went back to her parents' home directly.

Normally it would be easy for her to do this, but now it was Shen Linfu who took the lead, and the Hou Mansion made the mistake later. No matter what decision she made, it was worth understanding.

At the same time, Mu Yunqing also moved out of the Hou Mansion with his people.

Originally, she planned to live directly in the newly bought house, but because Rong Jin deliberately acted like he didn't take her seriously in front of Goldman Sachs, and deliberately carried the bad reputation, if she let it go at this time, People knew that she had arranged an escape route early in the morning, but instead she told the truth, which wasted all his good intentions and made people think that he was working with her to harm the two Shen Cang brothers with a premeditated plan.

She could only wait for Lu Qian to come to Beijing and pretend that it was the house he bought before she could live in it legitimately.

During this period, she could only temporarily stay in Prince Kang's Mansion.

It was really inconsistent with etiquette to move into her husband's home before the wedding ceremony. Mu Yunqing initially planned to rent a small courtyard to live in, but before he could finish moving his things, he was "captured" by him in front of everyone. to the palace.

In this case, it is conceivable that the person who is criticized and disrespected by others becomes Rong Jin.

What's more, people gradually spread the news in Kyoto that Mu Yunqing was unwilling to marry Rong Jin and already had a young man in love with her. This was all because the family of Marquis Chuanning wanted her to be the general. "Sold" to the young prince, and then there was the so-called borrowing money that day, otherwise no one would be able to come up with that much money at once even if they charge interest, and the reason why the young prince later turned his face and shouted anxiously The reason for asking for money was because he knew that Mu Yunqing had someone else in his heart, and he was so angry that he became so angry.

This statement spread from ten to ten, and from ten to a hundred, three people became tigers, and it spread so miraculously that even Mu Yunqing himself believed it after hearing it.

When she moved into Prince Kang's Mansion, the happiest person was Mu Yunlan.

Mu Yunlan originally lived in a courtyard by himself. He thought that when Mu Yunqing came, his siblings would live next to each other even if they could not live in the same courtyard. However, he never expected that Rong Jin asked Mu Yunlan to free up the courtyard for Mu Yunqing lived there, while he lived in his own yard.

In this regard, the young prince's explanation was: "Only children can be clingy, but a man should be self-reliant and self-reliant."

Mu Yunlan looked at Rong Jin with admiration, and nodded repeatedly without any surprise: "Yeah! Lan'er is a man, and he must protect sister and brother Rong Jin. Lan'er will not stick to sister!"

Rong Jin nodded with satisfaction: "Well, a boy can be taught."

Nan Xing on the side: "..." If you lie to such a young child, won't your conscience hurt?

Oh, that's right, he almost forgot, their master doesn't have that thing at all.

***

A few days after Mu Yunqing and Shen Yuan moved out of the Hou Mansion, the funeral ceremony was being held for the Qin family. The servants who were responsible for keeping watch on the night of the funeral got drunk and gambled, so they made a fuss. The lights, candles and fireworks started to light up.

It was also unfortunate that the wind was strong that day, and there were white banners and banners everywhere in the Hou Mansion. The fire spread quickly, so fast that people were caught off guard.

Although the fire was eventually extinguished, Shen Miaohuan was hit by a roof beam and failed to escape in time, and died in the flames.

Of course, this is what uninformed people think is the truth.

The real situation is that the fire was set by Qingdai, and the one who was buried in the flames was a palace maid who had long since lost her breath. Yiliang and the others picked it up from a mass grave. She was similar in stature to Shen Miaohuan, and her body was scorched by the fire. It was impossible to tell the identity at all.

The real Shen Miaohuan had already been secretly sent out of the city by Mu Yunqing. She waited for Lu Qian's family to arrive and then joined them, pretending to be a young lady from the south of the Yangtze River.

In just a few days, there was another person missing from the Hou Mansion, and I knew it would cause a lot of discussion in the city.

On the day when Qin's coffin was buried, people from the Jingzhao Mansion secretly set up an ambush along the road, thinking that if Shen Lin didn't escape from the city that day, there would be a fight between mother and son, so why wouldn't he come to see her off!

Not to mention, Goldman Sachs really guessed it. After Qin's coffin was buried, people from Jingzhao Mansion came back and caught Shen Lin in front of Qin's grave.

Shen Lin fled, but was suddenly arrested. Only he knew whether he was so filial and wanted to send the Qin family on their last journey.

In fact, it was Mu Yunqing who planned to lure him there.

That day, before Shen Lin arrived at Zhuangzi, Qinglang intercepted him. However, he did not reveal his identity, but lied about being ordered by Ninghou of Chuan to rescue him. In this way, Qinglang took Shen Lin with him. He hid outside for several days.

After Qin's death, Qinglang lied to him and told him that his incident had alarmed Concubine Xian in the palace, and that the empress would arrange for people to be here on the day of Qin's funeral and burial, and send him to a safe place. How could a white-faced scholar who only knew the books of sages know so much? He basically believed whatever Qinglang said.

He was so "ignorant of the world". Firstly, he was frightened by Xiang'er's death, and secondly, Qinglang didn't hurt him. He thought Qinglang had already done it if he wanted to harm him, and there was no need to lead him around in circles, so he There is no doubt.

As you can imagine, the result was that he was blocked by Goldman Sachs.

When he was arrested and rushed back to Jingzhao Mansion, Shen Lin hadn't come back to his senses. He didn't even know how to explain himself. He couldn't say that he had made an appointment with Concubine Xian in the palace to meet there. Without Concubine Xian, he has lost even his last hope.

Although Goldman Sachs tried hard to arrest people, it was because he did not want to be punished by Emperor Liang for his incompetence in doing things. But if Shen Lin died in his hands, he was also worried about the revenge of Concubine Xian, so he wanted to pretend to put it to trial and then dismiss it after the first trial. When we got to the Dali Temple, who knew that Shen Lin was so useless, he gave in and signed the pledge just by threatening him.

He admitted that he killed Xiang'er.

This was not the case. He just didn't want to be executed. He always had a glimmer of hope in his heart, thinking that his sister was His Majesty's favorite concubine. However, the death of the maid was covered up in a few words and he would not watch it helplessly. He lost his life.

Common sense can infer that Shen Lin's thoughts are not naive. He is the only one in Dafang's family who can count on him. Shen Miaoyin and Chuan Ninghou must try their best to get him. But the problem is that now the father and daughter The two of them are also mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, and they cannot save themselves.

Shen Miaoyin was in the harem and was already walking on thin ice. Mu Yunqing told Rong Jin that he asked his people to spread the story of Shen Miaoyin's false pregnancy in the palace. People who regarded her as a thorn in their side would naturally seize her. The matter persisted, so now Shen Miaoyin had no time to take care of herself.

Shen Lin confessed his crime and was not far from death.

Moreover, after this incident, the reputation of the Hou Mansion became even worse, and Shen Yuan also took the opportunity to propose a divorce.

After the government judged the result, Shen Yuan came to the door with the documents written by Shen Cang that day. The government was now an empty shelf. How could they get so much money? But it was impossible not to get it. What if Shen Yuan If they really go to the Yamen, they will still have to face a lawsuit.

Since the two families were not separated, Shen Cang wanted Shen Hong to take some too, but Sun naturally refused. For this reason, the two families also made a big fuss, which was a joke.

In the end, Shen Miaoyin secretly helped Shen Cang and sold many slaves to make up for the gap.

So many things happened, big and small, that made the old lady so anxious that she couldn't even get sick.

After Mu Yunqing learned about it, he took some hairpin rings and jewelry to the pawn shop, and then went to the drug store to buy ginseng and cinnamon and personally delivered them to the Hou Mansion. However, the relationship had already been formed that day, and he also knew that there were many people in the Hou Mansion. They didn't even let her in.

After she handed her things to the concierge, she left with tears in her eyes.

When she got on the carriage, she accidentally heard a few words of discussion from the people next to her.

"Huh, what's the use of pretending now! Why didn't she protect my grandmother and her family when the young prince was bullying others?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the people traveling with him disagreed and said: "Hey...that's a bad statement. How can this little girl take care of her husband's affairs? What's more, she is an unmarried husband, and he is a prince, and he is the daughter of a mere merchant. She has no right to speak."

"Tsk...that's true..."

"And I heard people say that she bought the ginseng and other things as jewelry. It can be seen that even if you get into the palace, life will be difficult. However, in the palace, I heard that Miss Mu was forced to marry It’s for the young prince.”

"Oh, it's true that every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite."

Those two people were talking to each other, and the people around them couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.

Others may blame or forgive. This was something she had expected. She didn't care at all. The reason why she came to the Hou Mansion to deliver medicine today was because she didn't want the reputation of the Hou Mansion to be too good. Secondly, Rong Jin didn't want that person to do anything. The old lady died.

What did he say before she went out...

"Let her live like this with a sigh of relief. If she dies, Qingqing will have to keep her filial piety. I have a bad temper and I'm afraid I will dig her grave to vent my anger." This shows how eager he is to get together with Mu Yun as soon as possible. Your marriage is complete.

For this reason, I also urged Jiangnan again and again.

Lu Qian and the others traveled day and night, but they arrived in Kyoto in the shortest possible time. In addition to their family, they also brought someone with them, not Shen Miaohuan, but someone Mu Yunqing never expected.

A person who died many years ago.
