Seeing her daughter coming, Mrs. Shen finally regained some strength and whispered to Shen Ruoyan: "Ayan."

As soon as he finished speaking, tears burst out uncontrollably.

She was weak by nature, and she completely regarded her husband as her support in life. Now that Mr. Shen passed away suddenly, Mrs. Shen seemed to have had her spine removed, and her whole body was wilting.

Shen Ruoyan cheered up and comforted her mother.

After seeing her mother, Shen Ruoyan found her brother in her father's study.

In just a few days, Shen Ruochuan lost a lot of weight.

When Shen Ruoyan entered, he was sitting in front of his father on the wooden chair where he often sat in a daze.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Shen Ruochuan raised his head suddenly. Seeing that the person who came was his sister, he barely blinked his dry eyes at her.

"Ayan, I regret it so much." Shen Ruochuan's voice was so hoarse that it made people feel distressed, "Why didn't I listen to my father's words well in the past?"

He groped for the texture on the wooden desk, as if he was lost in memories.

In Shen Ruochuan's memory, his father was always strict.

Every time he neglected his homework, his father would pick up the cane and whip him without saying a word.

Shen Ruochuan also complained in a joking tone, was he a child picked up from the alley?

Why is it that my father always smiles at his sister, but when he sees himself, his whole face immediately falls down.

But now that I think about it carefully, my father was only a little stricter on him, but he never violated his wishes on major matters.

He refused to marry a young lady from an aristocratic family as arranged by his parents. After a few days of begging, his father relented.

He was content with the status quo and never focused on his studies. Although his father always scolded him, he never forced him.

Now that his father is gone, Shen Ruochuan has no fame and no strong support from his in-laws.

The Shen family fell into decline.

Only now did Shen Ruochuan wake up and understand his father's good intentions.

He couldn't let the Shen family be destroyed in his own hands.

Shen Ruochuan clenched his hands into fists and said firmly: "Ayan, I plan to participate in next year's examination."

"Brother." Shen Ruoyan put her hand on her brother's arm.

The brother and sister held hands like they did when they were children.

"The family will rely on you from now on." Shen Ruoyan said.

Shen Ruochuan hummed through his nose.

From now on, he will be the one who takes on the burden of the entire Shen family.

Because Shen Ruoyan was too sad these days, Shen Ruoyan's steps were still a little wandering when she came out of Shen's Mansion.

Wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, Shen Ruoyan took a deep breath.

After being sad and decadent, she was about to get down to business.

The attack during autumn hunting made Emperor Long Yan furious and ordered all departments to investigate the matter thoroughly.

These days, people in the court are in panic.

No matter which camp they belong to, every minister has his tail between his legs as a human being, fearing that he will accidentally be involved in this case and become someone else's scapegoat.

Shen Ruoyan knew that the investigation results of this matter would be made public before long.

But she didn't want to wait for an explanation after weighing the pros and cons.

What she wants is the truth!

Shen Ruoyan wants to find out the real culprit who killed her father and bring him to justice with her own hands.

"Young madam, aren't we going back?" Qin'er was a little surprised when she discovered that the carriage was not going to the general's mansion.

Shen Ruoyan explained calmly: "Let's go to the clothing store first."

Qin'er didn't understand why Shen Ruoyan suddenly wanted to go to the shop.

However, seeing that Shen Ruoyan finally returned to normal, she said nothing and waited on her side carefully.

God knows how worried she was when she saw Shen Ruoyan not eating or drinking and talking nonsense all day a few days ago.

When the carriage arrived in front of Haohao Clothing Shop, Chun Niang immediately greeted him.

When she heard about Master Shen, she immediately put down everything in her hands and hurried back to the capital without saying a word.

Now seeing Shen Ruoyan again, Chun Niang was slightly startled.

The bright and cheerful young lady in her mind had a pale face, like a fragile porcelain doll.

In front of her, people didn't even dare to breathe too heavily.

Chun Niang and Qin'er helped Shen Ruoyan to the second floor.

This is the first shop they opened.

Even though Chun Niang now has countless shops, she still has a unique feeling for this place.

A few people sat down, Chun Niang poured a cup of tea and put it into Shen Ruoyan's hand, "Miss, do you have any plans?"

Shen Ruoyan held the warm water cup and looked at the water vapor rising from the mouth of the cup.

After a moment of silence, Shen Ruoyan asked: "Chun Niang, you can't tell Lu Yan what I'm going to do next, and of course I can't reveal even half of it to Wei Xu. Can you do this?"

Chun Niang had no intention of hesitating and agreed immediately.

Shen Ruoyan was a little surprised. Although Chun Niang and Wei Xu had not officially married in the past few years, the two of them went in and out together and supported each other. They were only one step away from being a real couple.

Shen Ruoyan decided to speak more clearly, "I mean, if you choose to help me, you will probably stand on the opposite side of Brother Wei. Are you willing to do that?"

Without saying a word, Chun Niang raised two fingers and swore: "The Shen family has been kind to me. Without you, I probably wouldn't be able to stay with that dead ghost and serve their whole family without complaint.

As long as you say it, even if I have to risk my life, I am willing.

Why are there any concerns? "

"Okay." Shen Ruoyan said happily, "There are some things that I shouldn't come forward for, and you will have to do it for me in the future."

Afterwards, Shen Ruoyan told her arrangements one by one.

"Chun Niang, how much money can you bring over without disturbing Lu Yan?"

Chun Niang did the math and reported a number.

Shen Ruoyan's brows trembled. She knew that Chun Niang was good at business, but she didn't expect her to be so good.

With so much money, it will be much easier to do things in the future.

"Also, separate some of the people who are monitoring Lu Yan, and secretly arrange them into properties such as flower houses and hotels. All the information gathered will be brought to you. I will ask Qin'er to come over regularly to obtain information." Shen Ruoyan talked about a series of arrangements.

Qin'er on the side finally understood Shen Ruoyan's intention, and when Shen Ruoyan stopped to rest, she asked in confusion: "Young madam, do you want to investigate the master's affairs?"

"Yeah." Shen Ruoyan admitted frankly without hiding anything.

"But Mr. Lu is on duty in the Inspectorate, and the information he has obtained must be the most fresh. If the young lady wants to know, you can ask Mr. Lu directly." Of course Qin'er knew about Shen Ruoyan's decision to avenge her father, But what she didn't understand was why she wanted to hide this matter from Lu Yan?

During these days, Shen Ruoyan became depressed because of her father's affairs, and Lu Yan took care of her personally.

Qin'er saw everything in her eyes and could naturally appreciate Lu Yan's long love for Shen Ruoyan.
