Dad, open the door. I'll bring your mistress back for you.

In his previous life, the reason why the Third Prince was able to gain the trust of Emperor Jing and gradually show signs of success was that when Emperor Jing was seriously ill, the Third Prince found a miracle doctor from the Valley of Miracle Doctors to treat him.

However, Shen Chuning knew in her heart that the miracle doctor was actually recruited by Shen Jingwan.

In this life, she arranged people to monitor Shen Jingwan, but did not find any contact between Shen Jingwan and anyone in the Divine Doctor Valley.

This situation made Shen Chuning feel suspicious and began to reflect whether there was any negligence or omission.

The enemy is out of your control, and that feeling is really unsettling.

At this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to Shen Chuning's mind. She remembered that in her previous life, Shen Qingjiang brought Xiangxue and Shen Jingwan back to the Shen family from Xinglin Hutong.

As early as when she was reborn, she had specially ordered people to investigate Xinglin Hutong.

At that time, there was only one family living in the entire alley, and that was Han Yuanzheng's family.

For a long time, Shen Chuning had always believed that if he had not rescued Ning Shutong, his final outcome would have been the same as that of the other people in the Han family.

But after thinking about it carefully at this moment, she suddenly realized that there was no record of Ning Shutong in the Han family's genealogy.

In this way, as long as the Han family carefully hides him, the officers and soldiers who come to search the house will naturally find it difficult to find his whereabouts.

Shen Qingjiang bought a house in Xinglin Hutong for Xiangxue and her daughter, where Shen Jingwan discovered Ning Shutong hiding.

In this way, many things seem to make sense in an instant.

Therefore, in the previous life, the prescription that could effectively suppress the spread of the epidemic was most likely developed by Ning Shutong.

If this is true, then did the so-called pregnancy-maintaining medicine that Shen Jingwan gave her also come from Ning Shutong?

Could it be that Ning Shutong secretly murdered her and her unborn child?

Thinking of this, Shen Chuning couldn't help but feel a tightness in her heart, but she quickly shook her head vigorously.

The culprits who killed her and her child were clearly Shen Jingwan and Xiao Yuanlang!

Even if those pregnancy-maintaining drugs did come from Ning Shutong, he was at best just a pawn used by Shen Jingwan.

Now, we just have to wait for the epidemic to spread to the capital and see whether Shen Jingwan will take action.

However, what was unexpected was that the spread of the disease was much faster than Shen Chuning had expected.

It was already a long time before Feng Yucai sent someone to deliver the patient's clothes.

Ning Shutong was delayed for another seven days in developing the prescription, and many refugees had already poured into the capital.

Shen Chuning carefully divided the prepared prescription into two parts and sent them out at full speed.

One of them was sent to Linwei and handed over to Feng Yucai; the other was sent to Weinan and handed over to my second uncle.

Weinan is an important town on the way from Changye to the capital.

Since there were reports of people being infected with the disease in the capital, Shen Chuning thought that Weinan, which was on the route, would probably not be spared.

……

The next morning.

After Shen Chuning had breakfast in Yun Shuxuan's yard, she slowly sat down cross-legged on the small couch by the window and began to knit with great concentration.

At this moment, Yun Shuxuan inadvertently caught a glimpse of the thread Shen Chuning was weaving. Curiously, he approached and asked, "A Ning, whose wedding is coming up that has you so carefully weaving a thread with the word 'happiness' in it?"

Hearing Yun Shuxuan's question, Shen Chuning smiled slightly, gently raised the unfinished silk thread in her hand, facing the bright light coming in from the window, and carefully examined the delicate and exquisite texture on it.

Then, she replied in a sweet voice, "Of course it's our own happy event!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Shuxuan's face showed a hint of confusion. He asked in confusion, "A happy event in our family? Is your fourth brother's wedding date moved up? But why have I never heard your aunt mention this?"

Shen Chuning slowly put down the necklace in her hand, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she said with a bit of playfulness: "It's not Fourth Brother, but Sixth Brother now has someone he likes. As his younger sister, of course I have to plan ahead and make preparations in advance!"

After saying that, she lowered her head again and devoted herself to weaving the silk cord.

When Yun Shuxuan heard this, his eyes lit up immediately. He was as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He couldn't wait to ask, "Your sixth brother actually told you who the girl he likes is? Tell mother quickly, do the girl's family look down on your sixth brother?"

Seeing this, Shen Chuning couldn't help but cough lightly, muttering to herself that her mother really underestimated her sixth brother.

Sixth brother has a distinguished family background and outstanding character, how could he be easily looked down upon?

She quickly explained, "It wasn't Sixth Brother who told me. I got the news from Eighth Brother."

"Oh? Chengbai said that, so I think it shouldn't be false." Yun Shuxuan immediately became excited when he heard it, and asked hurriedly, "Whose family is this girl from? When did they meet? Should mother quickly find a matchmaker to go to her family's house and propose marriage?"

As he spoke, he began to pace anxiously around the room.

Seeing her mother so anxious, Shen Chuning quickly reached out to hold her and comforted her, "Mom, don't worry. This matter has not yet been decided. It may not be successful. The girl that Sixth Brother likes is Jinyu."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Shuxuan opened his mouth in surprise, as if an egg could be stuffed in it. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and stammered, "Wha...what? It's Princess Jiahe?"

Shen Chuning nodded silently to confirm.

At this moment, the smile on Yun Shuxuan's face seemed to be blown away by a gust of cold wind, disappearing without a trace in an instant, and was replaced by a look of deep worry.

Her brows knitted together, and she sighed worriedly, "Alas! Being a consort to a princess is by no means easy. Once you marry her, you won't be able to make decisions on your own from now on. Besides, would Princess Jiahe be interested in your sixth brother?"

"From what I've observed, Jinyu doesn't feel any dislike towards Sixth Brother. But mother, if Eighth Brother really marries the Princess, you won't be able to enjoy the blessing of being a mother-in-law."

Yun Shuxuan extended a slender finger and gently poked Shen Chuning's smooth forehead. "Is Mother one of those wicked mothers-in-law who only thinks about tormenting her daughter-in-law? As long as your Sixth Brother is happy, Mother will be relieved. Besides, don't you still have your Third and Fifth Brothers staying by my side to show their filial piety?"

Shen Chuning was secretly surprised. She didn't expect her mother to be so open-minded and understand that she could so easily accept the fact that her sixth brother might marry the princess.

So, she struck while the iron was hot and continued, "Mother, why don't we go back to the capital. Whether it's Princess Jiahe or finding another suitable woman for Sixth Brother, it's more convenient to be in the capital. It's not good to leave everything to my aunt."

Shen Chuning did not mention that she wanted to return to Beijing because of the epidemic, because she knew that if she told the truth, her mother would definitely not agree.

Yun Shuxuan asked worriedly, "Return to the capital? What if your grandmother tries to use marriage arrangements against you again?"
