After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

The look in Shen Maoshan's eyes as he looked at Shen Jinyao gradually changed from loving to suspicious.

Shen Jinyao saw it clearly, and she said, "Father, why are you looking at me like that?"

Shen Maoshan said in a cold voice: "Who are you?"

Shen Jinyao said calmly, "Father, are you joking? I am Jinyao."

Shen Maoshan looked at his daughter in front of him, his expression and voice did not change.

But how could she know the emperor's arrangements for him?

Seeing Shen Maoshan being so cautious, Shen Jinyao explained, "Father, I just guessed that the emperor had some plans for you, but I don't know what they are."

"You don't have to tell me, as long as the Shen family is doing well."

Shen Jinyao didn't expect Shen Maoshan to be so excited. She thought it was because of his loyalty to the emperor.

His first reaction was not that his daughter was fake, but that she might be a spy.

Shen Jinyao continued, "Father, are you suspicious of me? He knows everything I did along the way. When he asked me about it today, I was just having a heart-to-heart with him and telling him my plans."

She underestimated Shen Maoshan and really believed that the outside world's evaluation of him was true.

People outside say that Shen Maoshan is the marquis with the least temper.

He is loyal to the emperor and believes whatever the emperor says.

He had none of the dignity of a marquis, and at home he listened to his mother very much, rarely spending his days indulging in wine and women outside.

When Shen Jinyao heard these comments, she summarized Shen Maoshan in two words: blind loyalty and blind filial piety.

In the end, he ended up having his property confiscated and exiled. He was truly a failed marquis.

But no matter how many problems this family has, it is still the family that Shen Jinyao will rely on for survival in the future.

With her current abilities, it is not impossible for her to find a place to live in seclusion, but that is not what Shen Jinyao wants.

She wants to live an honest life.

However, if a woman wants to live an upright life in this dynasty, she needs to have a very high social status.

Of course, the family's status must also be high.

Otherwise, no one will look up to you.

However, judging from Shen Maoshan's performance just now, he is not an ignorant person, and he may even be a bit wise.

Shen Jinyao felt that if she couldn't explain herself clearly, Shen Maoshan would probably want to lock her up.

While Shen Jinyao was observing him, Shen Maoshan was also observing Shen Jinyao.

He saw that Shen Jinyao's expression did not seem like she was lying, and when he thought about everything she had done for the Shen family, his expression finally relaxed.

The atmosphere in the room finally stopped being tense.

Shen Maoshan: "How did you come up with this? Does the emperor have other plans for me?"

His question was very obscure, so it depended on how Shen Jinyao would answer.

Shen Jinyao said truthfully: "It's normal to think about this. After all, Commander Pan only obeys the emperor."

"During the first half of our journey out of Shangzhou, Commander Pan was secretly following us."

"After my father was kidnapped, Commander Pan even escorted him all the way. It's impossible that this wasn't the Emperor's will."

"But Jin'er can only think of this. Father must be very important to the emperor."

"Based on my understanding of my father, this matter may be related to the life and death of our Shen family."

What Shen Jinyao said was reasonable and well-founded, and Shen Maoshan's brows relaxed as he listened.

At the end he actually laughed.

"Haha, I didn't expect that my Jin'er actually has such a smart mind."

Shen Jinyao was also taking a gamble. She hoped that Shen Maoshan would tell her the truth, otherwise she would not know how she died in the end.

If she didn't have the space, she wouldn't bother to know so much.

But now she has space and can do a lot for the Shen family and herself.

Unexpectedly, Shen Maoshan stood up and sighed, then walked to the door and stood there for a while.

Shen Jinyao watched his movements, as if trying to determine if someone outside was eavesdropping.

Then I saw Shen Maoshan seemed to be taking something out of his arms.

Shen Maoshan found a letter in his arms and gave it to Shen Jinyao.

Shen Jinyao took the letter, which looked very mysterious.

Because you can hardly make out the words.

Shen Maoshan took the glass of water and dropped a very small drop of water on the letter paper.

Shen Jinyao looked at the letter, and the drop of water disappeared, and then the contents on the entire piece of paper became clear.

Even though Shen Jinyao has a modern soul in her body, she was still shocked by the technology before her.

It is said that the ancients were actually very smart, Shen Jinyao had to admit that.

Otherwise, how could there be the Four Great Inventions so many years ago?

So when Shen Jinyao heard that the hero and heroine in the novel traveled through time and had an IQ that surpassed all the ancients, she thought it was impossible.

The content of the letter is not complicated, and it can be seen that the writer is a decisive person.

Only three sentences.

If the Shen family wants to revive, they must keep a close eye on the Qiang people and investigate any suspicious people entering and leaving Quzhou and the Qiang people.

Shen Jinyao looked at these three sentences and felt that such a task was not easy to complete.

Shen Jinyao was concerned about something else.

Shen Jinyao asked: "Father, what do you mean by resurrection?"

Shen Maoshan shook his head.

"The Emperor didn't say that."

Shen Jinyao smiled somewhat helplessly and said, "Father, isn't this just empty talk?"

Shen Maoshan was stunned. What kind of description was this?

After thinking about it for a while and figuring out what he meant, he said to Shen Jinyao seriously, "Jin'er, don't be rude to the emperor."

Shen Jinyao was so excited that she forgot that the person in front of her was the one who was most responsible for upholding the emperor's orders.

Shen Jinyao explained, "Father, this mission isn't easy to complete. The Emperor is worried about the Qiang people and suspects someone in Jiuzhou is collaborating with them..."

"By the way, father, I suddenly thought of something."

Shen Maoshan: "What's the matter?"

Shen Jinyao suddenly remembered the speculation she and Xiang Hongxuan had made when she went to see Shen Tingyao last time.

Since returning, Shen Jinyao has not had the chance to tell her father about this matter.

Shen Jinyao: "The last time General Xiang and I went to rescue Tingyao, the eldest prince was also kidnapped."

Shen Maoshan's eyes were filled with shock: "Ah? Why are you telling me now?"

Shen Jinyao sighed and said, "Father, when we arrived here, my grandmother had health problems, and then our family started building a house."

"When we were building the house, my uncle and aunt kept arguing about dividing the family property."

"The house has just been built, Grandma..."

Shen Maoshan nodded. Indeed, too many things have happened recently.

"Jin'er, you've been working hard lately. Father doesn't blame you, he's just very surprised by this."

"Why is the eldest prince here? How dare someone kidnap him?"

Before Shen Jinyao spoke this time, she also followed Shen Maoshan's example and went to look at the door.

"General Xiang and I suspect that the Second Prince kidnapped the First Prince."

"Father, it's very likely that the Second Prince is the one who wants to arrest you because of the list."

Shen Maoshan fell into deep thought. Could it really be the second prince?

"What else did you discover? Keep going."
