Rainy nights always give people the illusion of sleepiness.

A silent, one-sided massacre was hidden in the soft sound of raindrops, a dance of knives rising and falling, delicate and rhythmic, the blood and rain mixed together, all gone silently.

Finally, the long sword was swung, and the silver-white light swept away like a silver dragon, and the yard returned to silence.

The owner of the sword didn't even have the clothes draped over his shoulders stained with a single speck of scarlet. "Clean it all up," the man said, and went back into the house.

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Wu Liu, who had returned to the eaves and was waiting on standby, was regretfully wiping the new dagger that he would never have the chance to open.

As he listened to the sound of rain and watched the candlelight in the house go out again, he turned his brain, which he rarely used, and thought: Is the prince not going to come out tonight? Should I continue to wait here? How long?

Normally, he could go back to sleep when the prince went to bed, but this was not the prince's courtyard, and there had never been a princess in the mansion... For the first time, Wu Liu felt serious uncertainty about his working hours.

Looking up at the sky, he didn't know who to ask when Wu Chen was not at home.

The next morning, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up.

The whole mansion woke up to the sound of birds singing. Shen Yu lay in a daze under the huge wedding tent, with no one around him.

How could she have fallen asleep like this last night? Did Lu Yingxing come up to sleep later? How alert was she?

Didn't he kill his wife? Didn't he fake his death and escape? Didn't he even have a servant to wake him up the next day?

Perhaps he had made too many preparations in order to escape on the wedding night. When everything went smoothly and even exceeded expectations, Shen Yu inexplicably felt it was unreal.

In a word: the gaming experience is zero and the participation is extremely low...

"Miss, you are awake, right?" Baoer pushed the door open, followed by Zhan Xia, who was holding the dumplings and egg soup that Shen Yu usually ate.

"None of the situations that we had planned for for such a long time happened? Isn't it too smooth?" Shen Yu couldn't help but ask.

Although he didn't know what strange thoughts his young lady had, Bao Er, as the king of support, responded cheerfully: "Isn't it going well? I slept very soundly last night. Before the son-in-law went out this morning, he told me not to wake the young lady and let you sleep a little longer~~"

Aunt...uncle? Zhan Xia twitched her lips. She was already used to Bao'er's adaptability.

Back then, when my mother died of an acute illness, my father had no choice but to take the four sisters with him as escorts. Although they were all skilled in martial arts, they were unable to resist the lustful boss who framed them and brought them into trouble...

In order to save their seriously injured father, they would rather sell themselves on the roadside. If they had not met the young lady, they would have been ruined.

After recognizing the master, the lady gave them names: Zhan Chun, Zhan Xia, Zhan Qiu, Zhan Dong. It is said that this is because there was a hidden big man in history named Zhan Zhao, who followed Bao Qingtian to handle cases everywhere, plead for the people, and help the weak and fight against the strong. He is the ceiling of the world of heroes! !

It turned out that the young lady had just randomly compiled a new story, but Baoer believed it without a doubt and asked if he could change his name to Zhanbao?

The young lady reluctantly refused because she didn't know martial arts. Bao Er was sad and regretful for a long time, and kept pestering her father to learn martial arts until the young lady got married...

Yawning, Shen Yu ate breakfast at the dressing table as usual while Bao'er helped her tie her hair. The young lady said this was called allocating time properly. "Oh~ The son-in-law has been called, little Bao'er, tell me how much good things you received from him this time?"

Baoer looks young, but she is an expert at buying information and finding out gossip. She has a purely harmless and curious face, which makes the other party lower their guard again and again, and she can easily gain their trust. If she were thrown into the modern entertainment industry, the title of paparazzi would probably change hands.

While they were playing, a little maidservant who was unfamiliar to them walked in and said, "Greetings, Princess. The prince sent someone to say that you should come to the palace to express your gratitude in an hour." Then she held out a jewelry box filled with jewels and said, "This is the jewelry the prince gave to you. He also said that if you don't like what you choose, you can go to the storehouse in the palace to have a look."

"Your Highness is very thoughtful," Zhan Xia took the box and then handed over a purse embroidered with osmanthus flowers. The maid weighed it and left with a smile on her face.

Shen Yu raised her eyebrows and looked at the jade and gold inside. She thought her cheap husband was quite generous. She decided not to bother with him about last night's socially fatal crime.

"Miss, I have arranged everything according to your instructions. The servants in Fufeng Pavilion will be given an extra month's salary, everyone in the palace will be rewarded with two taels of silver, and the stewards will each receive five taels of silver," Zhan Chun came in to report.

The servants in the courtyard were all delighted after hearing this. They had thought that being sent to the princess by the lady meant being exiled. After all, this young lady brought back from the temple was not favored at all. She was indifferent to the dowry from the Shen family, and all the things around her were done by the five maids brought back from outside the mansion. They didn't expect that she would be so generous. You know, the most favored second young lady in the Shen family has never received a reward higher than one or two taels of silver.

Shen Yu really had no intention of building good relations with anyone, and she didn't plan to take anyone with her when she left, whether they were from Prince Zhuo's Mansion or the Shen Mansion. It was enough to just save face. Everyone received their rewards and happily saw the princess off.

Shen Yu walked towards the gate of the house, but got lost. Lu Yingxing didn't send anyone to lead the way, and she didn't meet anyone.

After walking through a blue brick corridor that was only wide enough for three people, there was a large artificial lake on the left with lush branches and leaves on the shore. On the right, there was a towering ancient tree surrounded by pavilions and towers. The courtyard was lush and green. This was her first time seeing the interior of a royal palace. It was not as magnificent as she had expected, but had a unique quiet and elegant charm.

Shen Yu was very happy to be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery so early in the morning, but he was surprised that the magnificent Prince Zhuo's Mansion was like a deserted city.

"Your Highness, this is the news just delivered by the secret guards." Wu Chen came back exhausted with the investigation results and said respectfully to the person standing in the corridor.

Lu Yingxing took it and flipped it open: Shen Yu, the eldest daughter of Shen Nian, moved into Lingzhu Temple six years ago. The Shen family ignored her. On the surface, Shen Yu never left the temple, but in fact, she moved to Shouyang Village at the foot of Lingzhu Temple six months later and lived there permanently, only occasionally returning to the temple. In the village, she used the alias Yu Ling, claiming to be the youngest daughter of the Yu family who was lost when she was young. She once taught the villagers to improve their farming and hired the villagers to work in her dried fruit workshop. She had a very good relationship with her neighbors, and the village middle school was funded by her.

Yu Ling lived in the Yu family at the end of the village and had adopted six children, four boys and two girls, who were taken care of by a warrior named Zhan Siji and a nanny named Yang. The one with the word "Mu" in his name was a six-year-old boy named Yu Mu, the older brother of a pair of twins. He was extremely intelligent and had started his elementary education at the village school at the age of three. At the age of four, he could recite many ancient poems, almost at will. The village school teacher had suggested that he go to school in Luocheng, but his parents refused.

Shen Yu has no property under his name, but Yu Ling owns a "Four Seasons Dried Fruit" shop in the town and a "Zimu Study" in the south of the city.

Improve farming, open schools, and dry fruit study rooms? No wonder the lady has been thinking about leaving. This life is indeed much more interesting than marrying into Prince Zhuo's mansion and dealing with all kinds of conspiracies and calculations... Tsk, this is troublesome.

In the study of Mu'er, Yumu and Zimu, a six-year-old boy...

Lu Yingxing raised his eyebrows, and a smile gradually spread across his lips: "Oh, it seems that I accidentally caught the little fox's hidden tail..."
