The last time Shen Niannian was investigating Shen Yi's case, she accidentally saw Mrs. Shen and Shen Yaocai's family appearing nearby.
She used the invisibility charm to follow her and found that Mrs. Shen had close contacts with the only son of the Shen family in Kyoto.
The Shen family is also a powerful family. The eldest son of the Shen family is the prince's young master. The second eldest son has a hussar general. Although the third eldest son is not an official, he controls the entire salt mine in Jingguo.
It is a pity that the Shen family is withering away. There is only one man born in the main room of the Shen family, and the rest are all women.
Shen Niannian kept an eye on it, and after the second brother's case was over, she went to Shen's house to stay there.
If you don’t check, you won’t know. If you check, you will be shocked.
She was surprised to hear that Mrs. Shen and the only son of the Shen family treated each other as mother and son.
After careful investigation, she finally found out all the truth.
It turns out that Shen Zhengwen is not Mrs. Shen’s biological son.
More than thirty years ago, Mrs. Shen and the eldest wife of the Shen family in Kyoto secretly colluded and deliberately exchanged Shen Zhengwen and Mrs. Shen's sons.
In this way, Shen Zhengwen became Mrs. Shen's son.
Mrs. Shen's real son stayed in the Shen family in Kyoto and enjoyed all the glory and wealth.
Shen Niannian didn't understand at first why Mrs. Dafang of the Shen family would do such a thing, but later she found out that Shen Zhengwen was not born to Mrs. Dafang, but to a concubine.
The eldest master of the Shen family loved that concubine very much, but unfortunately she died in childbirth.
But Mrs. Dafang still couldn't let go of her hatred, so she deliberately confused the Shen family's bloodline and let the concubine's real child live outside and suffer.
The Shen family master was very angry when he learned about this, but Mrs. Dafang had passed away a few years ago.
But the master of the Shen family did not intend to let it go. He sent people to remove Mrs. Dafang's bones from the ancestral grave, removed her name from the household registration, and then promoted Shen Zhengwen's biological mother as his head wife.
Although this person has passed away, Shen Zhengwen can return to the Shen family as the legitimate son of the main wife.
Amidst the sound of firecrackers, Shen Niannian and her family recognized their ancestors and changed their household registration to the Shen family in Kyoto.
Suddenly having so many outstanding grandchildren and great-grandchildren, Mr. Shen was so happy every day.
As for Mrs. Shen and others, when the Shen family in Kyoto came looking for them in an aggressive manner, they found that their entire family had already been poisoned and died.
After a government investigation, it was discovered that Shen Qingqing, Shen Yaocai's daughter, had administered the poison.
Shen Qingqing disappeared after being poisoned, and the rest of the Shen family died in her hands.
After getting to know each other, I learned that after arriving in Kyoto, Shen Qingqing, who was only in her teens, was sold to an old man by Shen Yaocai.
Shen Qingqing finally fought the old man to death, thinking that she would be free, but who knew that Shen Yaocai sold her to another old man.
Shen Qingqing was so sad and angry that she simply refused to do anything and bought a pack of poison to poison Mrs. Shen and her family to death.
Shen Niannian was not very sad when she heard this. While she sympathized with Shen Qingqing's experience, she also lamented how lucky she was to have met such a good family member.
Some family members are like angels, able to heal people's hearts, but some family members are like devils, only exploiting their children. Fortunately, she met the former.
After moving into the Shen family in Kyoto, Shen Niannian did not feel uncomfortable at all.
There was just one thing: her cure for the plague had already made her famous in the capital. Later, she became the legitimate daughter of the Shen family in Kyoto, which made her status even higher.
There were so many people coming to propose marriage that they almost broke the threshold of Shen's house.
Shen Niannian had no intention of dealing with those people and was extremely annoyed every day.
I was about to sneak out to play, but I saw a long-lost person in the pavilion in my garden.
Li Rulan also saw Shen Niannian and pulled her into the pavilion with a smile.
"Nian Nian, come and meet your Aunt Sheng. When you were a child, you loved to go to Aunt Sheng's house to eat pastries, but that happened when you were one year old. I guess you don't even remember it now."
After Shen Niannian was stunned for two seconds, she smiled politely and blessed Aunt Sheng.
"Hello, Aunt Sheng."
"After more than ten years of separation, Niannian has turned out to be so beautiful." Sheng Ziyi took off a red coral bracelet and wanted to put it on Shen Niannian's wrist.
"Here, this bracelet is rare, so I will give it to you as a meeting gift from my aunt."
Shen Niannian thought of Aunt Sheng who confronted her second brother in the dungeon that day, and took a step back calmly.
"Aunt Sheng is such a great gift, Niannian doesn't dare to accept it. I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you. I'll take my leave."
Without waiting for anyone else to react, she turned and left.
Li Rulan looked a little embarrassed, "This child was obviously very close to you Ziyi when he was a child. He must have forgotten what happened when he was a child, so he became separated from you."
Sheng Ziyi looked at Shen Niannian's leaving figure, with unstoppable sadness in her eyes.
Walking to a deserted corner, Shen Niannian climbed over the wall and ran out.
Everything about this Shen Mansion was good, but it was too restrictive. She was not allowed to go out alone and had to be accompanied by several maids.
She was used to being free on her own, but not used to being followed by a large group of people, so she chose to sneak out over the wall.
Shen Niannian jumped off the wall and saw Dahei standing by the wall with a serious face, waiting for her.
The two of them made an appointment to go to a teahouse in the city to listen to a play together, but Dahei's solemn expression made her a little confused.
"Dahei, don't you like to listen to operas the most? Why is it that your face is longer than a shoehorn?"
Dahei didn't care at all about her teasing, and still had a calm face.
"Little girl, something bad has happened. The important supporting character who killed your family has appeared."
Shen Niannian couldn't help but tighten her heart.
"What did you say, Dahei? Who would kill my family?"
Dahei glanced in the direction of Shen's mansion.
"When I came out just now, I heard someone calling Sheng Ziyi. I thought I heard it wrong, so I followed her secretly for a while and found that the woman was really called Sheng Ziyi. And Sheng Ziyi is the adoptive mother of the male protagonist in the original book. .”
"The name Sheng Ziyi is still impressive to me, because she is ruthless and will use any means to achieve her goals, and she has trained the male protagonist to be a cold-blooded and ruthless person. It can be said that if it hadn't been for her, your family and the male protagonist would not have had such a big misunderstanding. Your family will not die either."
After hearing the news, Shen Niannian's hands and feet suddenly felt cold.
She didn't expect that Aunt Sheng turned out to be such a person.
She suddenly remembered the angry look in her second brother's eyes when he looked at Aunt Sheng in prison, and suddenly thought of something.
"Dahei, I have something to do now, so I won't go to the theater for now."
After Shen Niannian finished speaking in a hurry, he used teleport directly to his second brother's study without worrying about being discovered.
Today, my second brother, Xiu Mu, was writing in the study. When he saw her suddenly appearing, he was not surprised at all, but looked helpless.
"Nian Nian, my brother is dealing with official business. Be good and go aside to play."
Shen Niannian stared at his second brother and asked the doubts in his heart.
