The Regent secretly read the diary, and I went from being a cannon fodder to being the group's

In the Shen Mansion in the capital city, thick smoke was billowing from a small courtyard in the northwest corner.

Shen Wanwan was wearing a thin dress, as if she was playing the role of the leader of the Beggars' Sect. She was squatting beside the brazier at the door, fanning the burning dead branches in the brazier with a palm-leaf fan.

These dead branches were picked up from the snow and were soaked by rain, so it was a little difficult to light a fire.

The wood can only burn after the flames have dried out the moisture inside.

Shen Wanwan coughed a few times in the smoke, waved the palm-leaf fan in her hand to disperse some of the smoke that was rushing towards her, and then sat down next to the brazier.

"This Shen family is too stingy. Although I am a concubine's child, they shouldn't treat me like this."

She said self-deprecatingly, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

You have to know that those favored maids and servants were dressed better than her, and they even had charcoal to burn when they were cold in winter.

And she, a bastard-born girl, had to wear thin, coarse clothes and burn damp wood to keep warm in the twelfth lunar month when there was a drizzle of snow.

She has no time to endure the humiliation from those legitimate daughters.

However, when she thought that all the evil people in this mansion would be beheaded soon, Shen Wanwan felt a little relieved.

"Miss Third, Miss Third!"

The old nanny's shouting could be heard outside the dilapidated courtyard, so she addressed her as "Miss", but the harsh voice showed no respect at all, and even sounded a bit like a shouting.

"I'm coming."

Shen Wanwan walked quickly forward, opened the gate, and went out to look for the source of the sound.

Standing outside the door was a plump middle-aged mother wearing a gray formal suit.

It was the eldest lady’s personal nanny, Aunt Wang.

It is said that he is a relative of the first lady Wang's family.

He holds a high position of power in the mansion, and many young masters and ladies respect him very much.

"Hey, Miss Third, how can you light a fire in the yard? What if the whole area catches fire? Put it out quickly."

As soon as Nanny Wang opened the door, she saw the flame burning in the corner. She waved her hand and asked Shen Wanwan to put out the fire quickly, as if she was ordering a servant.

If the whole mansion wasn't about to be struck by a catastrophic disaster in the near future and everyone was going to be dragged away and beheaded, it would be easy for people to remember if they made a big scene now.

Shen Wanwan wanted to slap him twice to let him know what the hierarchy between master and servant was.

"Yes, Madam Wang."

Shen Wanwan bowed her head and agreed, deliberately acting humble and timid, and spoke in a cautious tone.

"Alright, alright, stop it, let's go, the master and mistress are waiting."

Seeing Shen Wanwan's timid appearance, Nanny Wang couldn't help but look down on her. She waved her hand to signal her to follow and left the courtyard.

Out of the arch.

After passing through the winding corridors and several gardens, they arrived at the reception room, where maids were already waiting outside.

Seeing the two of them coming, she hurried over and said anxiously, "Miss San, the clothes are ready, don't keep the master and his wife waiting for too long."

Shen Wanwan followed the two maids into the side room next to the reception hall.

A maid had already prepared a new set of clothes.

The clothes are soft and silky, and there is no trace of knitting when you touch them lightly. It is obviously made of high-quality fabric.

"This is the lady's clothing. You can wear it for now, but don't damage it. Otherwise, if the lady blames you, you won't be able to bear it."

The maid named Lumei helped Shen Wanwan to put on her clothes while giving her serious instructions. There was no trace of master-servant hierarchy at all, as if she was just ordering her around.

Shen Wanwan let him do it, lowered her head and said nothing.

After quickly tidying up, the maid took her out of the side room and into the reception room.

As soon as they entered the reception room, everyone looked at Shen Wanwan.

The eldest lady stood up and said to the middle-aged man at the reception table with a big smile on her face: "Yin Qing, look, this is our Shen Wanwan, she is pretty and elegant, a lady from a noble family, and she is also famous for her good temper in the mansion."

"Shen Wanwan, come here quickly and show it to Uncle Yin and the others." The eldest lady enthusiastically took Shen Wanwan's arm and welcomed her to the guest, speaking with a beautiful smile.

Balabala said a lot.

The middle-aged man sitting at the guest seat sneered, looked at Shen Wuwen at the host seat and said, "Brother Shen, judging from your appearance, are you going to regret it?"

Shen Wuwen waved his hand and said with a faint smile: "Brother Yin, I did not break my promise, how can you say that?"

Seeing Shen Wuwen's actions, the middle-aged man Yin Xu who was sitting next to him completely exploded: "What do you mean by this? Back then, our families jointly arranged the marriage, but now you are looking for your lowly concubine who had an affair with a maid. Isn't this a slap in the face of my Yin family?!"

When Shen Wuwen heard this, he frowned but did not respond.

Seeing this, the eldest lady immediately smiled and said, "Yin Xu, be patient. I have also heard a little about this matter. The two families did have this agreement, but the agreement did not say who would marry whom, did it? Yin Qing, you see, the other people in the family have already secretly fallen in love with you, so..."

"So you're just going to use this bastard's child as a pretext to get away with it? Are you going to just muddle through?"

Yin Fu, who had been silent the whole time, responded sarcastically at this moment.

The eldest lady opened her mouth and was about to explain, but Shen Wuwen waved his hand, then stood up, bowed and said, "My three brothers, I will give you an explanation for this matter. I will never shirk my responsibility and will give you a satisfactory answer. Please trust me, Shen Wuwen, again."

Hearing this, Yin Qing didn't want to stay any longer. He stood up and bowed: "Oh, I hope so." Then he turned away without looking at the people in the hall again.

After Yin Qing left, the eldest lady immediately sneered: "Hmph, master, the Yin family is really wishful thinking! Everyone knows that the young master of the Yin family is crazy all day long. Do they really think we are fools? How can I let my daughter marry such a person?" Her words were so harsh that she didn't take into account Shen Wanwan who was still present.

"So that's it."

Only then did Shen Wanwan understand that being brought to the reception room and treated in such a way meant that she had become a tool to deal with the marriage contract!

"You go back."

Shen Wuwen turned his back and waved his hand to signal Shen Wanwan to leave, wondering what he was thinking.

Shen Wanwan finally relaxed after returning to her own courtyard.

"Oh, I'm so tired. Every day, I'm not treated as well as other young ladies, but I still have to help them solve their problems. However, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue will soon suffer a catastrophic disaster. Why don't I take the initiative to ask to marry him? I can take my dowry and leave early. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

As he spoke, he opened his diary and recorded what happened today.

......

"My Lord, it's time for dinner."

Liu Yu's body was disposed of secretly. Now Xie Jingchuan would not agree to anything until his personal maid had tried it personally.

Just as he was about to call for help, the diary on the table was opened again, and Xie Jingchuan immediately shouted outside: "No need for now, go down."

【November 8th】

【Sunny】

[Today I feel more confident about my escape plan. I wanted to leave tonight, but today the Yin family came to talk about the engagement, which gave me new ideas.]

[I can take the initiative to talk to the master and ask him to agree to let me become a concubine, so that I can take my dowry openly]

[Well, let’s do it right away. We’ll go there early tomorrow morning.]

[But then again, the Regent should have been poisoned to death in the past few days]

[I'm sure there won't be any leaks by then, I have to plan ahead and implement it.]

Xie Jingchuan saw in the diary that he was about to be poisoned to death. Although he had seen it several times, he still felt a chill in his heart.

However, today's diary specifically mentions the content of the incident...

"Chen Ting!"

"My subordinate is here."

"Tomorrow morning, go to the residence of the Minister of Revenue and find a bastard's daughter who was pushed out to break the engagement."

"Yes, I understand."

After giving instructions outside the house, Xie Jingchuan immediately closed the diary, looked at this unique diary and chuckled: "I want to see where you can run to."
