The people from Jingzhao Yin sent Cheng Jinchu and Yunzhi to the jail and ignored them, nor did they intend to interrogate them. However, Yunzhi was a little curious about the attitudes of these people.

"Miss Shen, you have to stay here for now."

Cheng Jinchu nodded, walked calmly into the cell, found a pile of grass and sat down, with no expression on his face.

"Thank you, sir. However, I think someone is going to cause trouble. Please tell the adults to be more cautious at night. I value my life, not to mention the princess..."

The officer smiled very kindly.

"Miss Shen is right. I will tell the adults that not everyone can break into this cell. Please rest assured, Miss Shen!"

After the official left, Yunzhi looked at Cheng Jinchu with curiosity. Cheng Jinchu sighed and held Yunzhi's hand.

"Is the little girl scared?"

Yunzhi turned her head away and snorted.

"Afraid? How is that possible? It's just that the master has never suffered such a torture since he was born. In fact, the master does not need to come to this prison at all."

Cheng Jinchu chuckled and leaned against the wall behind him, with a relaxed expression on his face, as if this was not a prison cell but a comfortable inn.

"If I had dealt with the matter directly as soon as it happened, I wouldn't have to suffer all this, but is all I want a result?"

Yunzhi shook her head. The outcome of this matter was certain. Of course, for people like them who knew the situation, the fake product would never stand a chance of making a comeback. But now it seemed that things were going in the fake product's favor.

This matter from beginning to end was an illusion given to her by the master. I think the master was happy to see this incident happen. Although he didn't tell her, she now understands that the reason why the fake was able to escape was probably the master's handiwork.

"I understand, Master. I originally thought that Madam was the only good person in the Shen Mansion, but in the end..."

Cheng Jinchu touched Yunzhi's little head. She once wanted the little girl to call her sister, but Aunt Ling did not allow it, because her mother was not only Aunt Ling's master, but also her savior. So, Aunt Ling asked Yunzhi to be loyal to her all her life. Yunzhi always called her master and never changed her words.

Yunzhi is young, only twelve years old. Her family situation is simple, her parents are orphans, and she has never been exposed to the complexity of a large family, even when she was later sent to Cheng Jinchu.

Cheng Jinchu was raised in his uncle's home, which was a simple family situation. There had never been any open or secret fighting for resources or intrigue. Yunzhi simply judged whether a person was good or bad based on the things that happened to him.

The reason why Cheng Jinchu brought Yunzhi with him this time was to let her get in touch with these things personally and not be too naive. The only ability of this little girl to save her life so far is probably her overwhelming fighting power.

This definitely won’t work!

At least for now, force alone is not enough.

"Little girl, you can only judge a person by his appearance, not his heart. As for Sun Manman, do you think she is a good person just because she changed the yard for me?"

Yunzhi lowered her head in thought, then raised her head and looked at Cheng Jinchu, still confused.

"I just thought that the concubine who arranged for us to live in such a shabby courtyard when we first arrived at the Shen Mansion was a bad person, and that Madam Shen helped the master vent her anger by giving her a good courtyard, taking her to the princess's flower-viewing banquet, and also having someone take her to buy clothes, so I originally thought she was a good person."

Cheng Jinchu covered her mouth and chuckled. The little girl had simple ideas, but she did not explain these things directly. She still guided the little girl patiently.

"Then why do you think she is a bad person?"

Yunzhi snorted coldly and pouted her lips.

"She actually held that fake and framed her master, nailing her master as the murderer. The fake just told some stories, but she believed them! She was like she wished that what the fake said was true, or even if it wasn't true, she hoped it was true."

Cheng Jinchu felt relieved that the little girl had learned to observe, and her observation was quite careful.

"Well, little girl, since you think this person is bad, why did you do good things for me before?"

After Cheng Jinchu finished speaking, Yunzhi began to think seriously. The master once said that when a person does something, it is most likely for a purpose. Even if it is for your own good, it is also a purpose. Some people also say that I just do something as I please without thinking about it at all, but this doing whatever I please is also a purpose.

So, what is Mrs. Shen’s purpose?

Yunzhi couldn't think of anything for a long time, and looked at Cheng Jinchu with her big eyes blinking.

Cheng Jinchu didn't get annoyed and continued to guide patiently.

“What kind of environment does Sun Manman live in?”

"Sun Manman's father is a minister, and she is a daughter of an official family."

Yunzhi answered quickly.

Cheng Jinchu nodded and continued.

"So, what do officials fear the most?"

"Impeachment by the Imperial Censor!"

Yunzhi was very proud of herself for having answered correctly again. She raised her little head and looked at Cheng Jinchu with burning eyes, begging for praise!

The little girl was soft and tender, very cuddly. Cheng Jinchu couldn't help but rubbed her furry head a few more times.

In fact, no one would pay special attention to the affairs of officials' harems. It's just that Sun Manman got married some time ago, and her reputation was not very good. In addition, everyone knew about those people who were not on good terms with the Shangshu, and the fact that Shen Yun brought back his daughter who was raised in the manor.

The most important thing is that Cheng Jinchu has secretly spread the news that he lives in a shabby yard, and someone who is interested may want to come and take a look.

"So, why should Sun Manman be nice to me?"

Yunzhi suddenly understood and lowered her head and sighed.

"It seems that those who appear to be doing good things may not really be doing good things!"

Cheng Jinchu looked outside through the window of the cell. It was already dusk. When it got dark, everything would definitely get busy.

"Yunzhi, don't feel sad. There are people who act in a fake way, and there are people who act sincerely. I tell you this today because I hope you won't simply judge a person based on a few things. There are more than just good people and bad people in this world.

Of course, from different perspectives, good people and bad people are different. For example, Sun Manman, you think she is a good person because of me, because Sun Manman did good things for me. You judge her as a bad person because she is not good to me. Your judgment standard is defined according to me. If you change the judgment standard, will the answer still be the same? "

"I know, Master. I will observe carefully from now on."

Cheng Jinchu certainly believed in Yunzhi's ability to understand, and she also believed that Yunzhi could grow up quickly. She didn't have this environment before, but now, the environment is there, and Yunzhi is a smart girl, so she will definitely grow up quickly.

At this time, Cheng Jinchu would actually think of Shen Jinyi, her sister, and wonder what Shen Jinyi would do if she encountered what happened today.

Her understanding of Shen Jinyi will put her in a vicious circle of self-proving, and she will not be able to clear her name, and she will waste her breath, hurting her body and her heart!

It is understandable if you think about it. Even if she is disappointed with those people, because they are her closest relatives, she will still be cautious and have some expectations, hoping that her family can protect her and hope that they can stand on her side. However, Shen Jinyi is destined to be disappointed with these people in the Shen family.

A useless and unambitious real daughter is definitely not as important as a useful and extremely ambitious fake daughter.

Look at the girls in the Shen Mansion, not to mention the young ones, just the girls of marriageable age. Of course, up to now, there are only three girls of marriageable age in the Shen Mansion (the concubine who is kept by the lady in the first house, Shen Jinyi, and Shen Jinyi's elder sister who works in the Buddhist temple).

As for the others, those who were not for the sake of the family were given away.

Family members like that don't consider family affection at all, they only consider whether it is useful or not.
