The Shengjing Street at night was no longer as noisy as it was during the day. A horse-drawn carriage rumbled past the cloth shop and arrived outside the Baizhi Tavern.

Bai Zhi was already waiting at the door. When she saw Ye Qinghuan, she came over enthusiastically and said, "Madam, you are not at home to talk to the general today. Why are you here?"

"Are you happy that Shen Rong is dead?" Ye Qinghuan asked.

Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment, a look of sadness flashed across her eyes, and then she pouted and said, "I'm glad! Now that he's dead, no one will embarrass my business anymore."

"What if I tell you that he might not be dead?"

"what?"

Bai Zhi's face changed drastically, she covered her mouth in disbelief and stepped back.

Ye Qinghuan walked in familiarly, took off his fur coat, and sat down at an elegant small table.

Because they only accept female customers, there is basically no one in the store after dark. Bai Zhi also sent the waiters away, and there were only the two of them in the uniquely decorated store.

Bai Zhi took a long time to digest Ye Qinghuan's words.

She hurried to the table and asked in a trembling voice, "How can the news from the palace be false? I heard that the emperor said it himself!"

"I said: What if." Ye Qinghuan said, "What if Shen Rong is revived again, he will not let you go."

"Yes, he is like a blood-sucking worm, constantly trying to drain my value. If he is still alive, my store will be in danger." Bai Zhi frowned.

"There is no hope of finding the Bai family. He has no money now. So, what value does he have that is worth the whole world deceiving and protecting him?" Ye Qinghuan stared into Bai Zhi's eyes and asked.

Bai Zhi was flustered and worried: "Yes, he is disabled and crippled. It is impossible for him to lead the Shen family army. What value does he have?"

Ye Qinghuan poured himself some tea, sipped it gently and waited for Bai Zhi's answer.

When Shen Rong was alive, Bai Zhi was the most panicked. And she was also the person who knew Shen Rong best!

"Northern Territory!"

After an unknown amount of time, Bai Zhi finally thought of a possibility.

"Madam, Shen Rong's greater value may be related to the North."

"Oh?" Ye Qinghuan was quite surprised.

***Going to the North to marry was a tragic experience, and she hated the people of the North the most in her life.

There is even a rule in the palace: the word "Northern Border" must not be mentioned in front of the emperor.

"I'm not sure! But I once overheard Shen Rong and the King of Medicine talking about unifying the world and making the North and Da Xia one." Bai Zhi said in a low voice, glancing around from time to time.

Even though they were the only two in the store, they were still afraid of being eavesdropped.

This matter is of great importance.

Ye Qinghuan never dreamed that this would be the reason!

*** wanted power, not because the young master of the Meng family did not marry her as a son-in-law, but because she wanted to unify the two countries of Daxia and the Northern Border!

Oh my god, is she crazy?

Not to mention that the people of the North live in a wild land, are brave and warlike, and are difficult to tame.

Take Daxia for example, it's not a place that *** can control!

How can a woman hold power in this world?

"Are there any other strange people in Yaowang Valley?" Ye Qinghuan asked in a deep voice, suppressing his panicked heartbeat.

"There was an old man with a long beard. Shen Rong was very respectful to him. But he had a strange temper and few people dared to approach him. I only saw him once or twice."

"Beard? Is he from the North?"

"I don't know. That piece of land belongs to Daxia, and people from the North shouldn't intrude."

"How old is it?"

Bai Zhi thought for a moment and said, "He's probably in his thirties! Maybe even younger, mainly because he looks too uncle-like."

Ye Qinghuan became even more certain that the old man was from the Northern Territory and was an assistant of the ***.

Only by cooperating internally and externally can we help *** unify the northern border.

"Madam, what are you thinking about?" Bai Zhi asked in a trembling voice.

"Nothing. Don't tell anyone else what happened today." Ye Qinghuan stood up and was about to leave.

Bai Zhi chased after him and asked, "Can you think of a way to kill Shen Rong?"

Ye Qinghuan raised his eyebrows and turned back: "Love is strong, hate is also strong?"

"Yes!" Bai Zhi gritted her teeth, "I hate him so much now! When I think about him coming to embarrass me again if he's alive, I want to kill him even more!"

"Whether he is dead or alive remains to be verified. Just pretend you don't know and continue with your business."

"OK then!"

----

The next day, Shen Lin "took" Shen Rong's body back.

Shen Rong's body had been rotten after being buried for several days, and he had been tortured many times before death. His tattered prison uniform was almost soaked in blood.

Apart from being able to roughly identify it as Shen Rong, it is really impossible to tell exactly what it is.

Ye Qinghuan covered her mouth and nose and asked Shen Lin in a low voice: "Have you checked it clearly?"

"I looked at the old injury on the knee and it should be correct." Shen Lin said.

"But the same fate Gu..."

"I heard that there are powerful female Gu breeders who can use this method to bind a man's heart. If they can't bind the Gu, the Gu worm will suck the last of the man's essence when he dies. Not only will it not backfire on the Gu owner, but it will also nourish the Gu breeder."

Ye Qinghuan thought of the beauty poison that Bai Yanyan mentioned and shuddered.

The old injury on Shen Rong’s knee couldn’t be faked, and his heart finally settled down.

Shen Rong is dead, and no one will morally blackmail Shen Lin anymore.

As for the relationship between *** and the North, let Gao Xun reveal it slowly!

When Old Madam Shen saw Shen Rong's current condition, she fainted.

There was no one in charge of the family, so Nanny Qin had to ask Ye Qinghuan to continue to be the housekeeper and arrange the funeral for Shen Rong.

Most of the assets in the old house were moved to *** by Shen Rong, and now only an empty shell is left.

Ye Qinghuan didn't want to care: "We didn't get any of the family property back then, so why should I care now? I don't care."

"Madam, the old lady has fallen ill and can't take charge of anything." Nanny Qin was embarrassed and pleaded in a soft voice.

"Then please ask Second Aunt and Third Aunt to help. I don't care anyway." Ye Qinghuan said.

Nanny Qin was helpless and looked at Shen Lin: "General..."

"Ahem, I'm not feeling well..."

Shen Lin immediately turned his back and pretended to be weak.

When they divided the family, they only took Ye Qinghuan's dowry and didn't take a penny from the family. All the family property was left to Shen Rong. He has always been upset about this matter and always felt sorry for Ye Qinghuan.

Now, this revenge has finally been taken!

Nanny Qin had no choice but to ask Qin and Yu for help.

The two knew that Ye Qinghuan intended to leave, so they agreed and buried Shen Rong hastily in the Shen family's ancestral tomb.

Since the people in the West Mansion received the news of Shen Rong's death, they have been as happy as if it were New Year's Day, and they did not hide their joy today.

Second Uncle Shen was overjoyed: "This scourge is finally dead, and the Shen family army is safe from now on."

"That's right! In order to avoid being implicated by him, we were so scared that we separated the house in a hurry." Uncle Shen also breathed a sigh of relief.

The two brothers drank and ate meat to celebrate that the Shen family army finally got rid of the devil Shen Rong.

After Old Madam Shen woke up, she was overwhelmed with sadness when she saw the empty old house. She was even more furious when she heard that the West Mansion was celebrating.

But what can she do?

Shen Lin didn't like her, and Shen Rong died again.

She also had to shamelessly move to Shen Lin's house and wait for Shen Lin to take care of her in her old age.

"Madame Qin, collect all the things Rong'er used when he was alive and lock them in the courtyard where he lived. No one is allowed to move. Collect our belongings as well. After Rong'er's seventh day of death, we will officially move there and never come back here again." Old Madam Shen wiped away her tears sadly while making arrangements, "Let's dismiss the servants in the mansion! Just leave a few to look after the house."
