At this moment, Ruixueyuan.

Qin Xuerong had hardly slept all night since she came back, and she got very angry.

"What on earth are Qiushui and Dongyue doing! I told them to keep an eye on someone, and they just kept staring at him!"

Qin Xuerong was so furious that her eyes turned red with anger.

Qiu Shui knelt on the ground. She had already heard the news that the master was going to expel her from the house, and now she was crying even more.

"Madam, I am innocent! When I came back, the Second Miss was definitely heading towards Shuhan Garden! She was only a cup of tea away from Shuhan Garden at that time!"

Nanny Wang advised, "Madam, Shen Shuyi is very cunning. He might have walked to the gate of Shuhanyuan and then turned back."

"Where's Dongyue? Isn't Dongyue always watching?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Cuizhu hurried in: "Madam, Dongyue was found fainted in the grass next to Shuhan Garden, and she just woke up."

"A bunch of trash!" Qin Xuerong slapped the table, her chest heaving violently.

Shen Jingzhen frowned and said, "Mom, it's useless to say all this now. My second brother is still kneeling in the ancestral hall as punishment. Dad has been checking the records of doctors entering the mansion all night and has been sending people to question him."

Qin Xuerong let out a breath and said slowly, "Don't worry, I've asked your uncle to find a doctor overnight. Although it may not be in time for everyone, it won't be possible to blame everyone."

"As for your second brother, mother has thought about it. Let him kneel for a day and then he will be sick this evening. By then, your father and grandmother will be distressed and will not be able to blame them anymore."

After hearing this, Shen Jingzhen's brows relaxed a little.

"We really underestimated Shen Shuyi!" Shen Jingzhen also didn't sleep all night, and her eyes were red from sleepiness.

She had been waiting to see Shen Shuyi's excitement, so naturally she was reluctant to sleep. Unexpectedly, she did not see Shen Shuyi's excitement, but instead got the news that her mother and brother were beaten.

Qin Xuerong said slowly: "She made your second brother and I suffer such a great loss, and caused your second brother to be punished. I will not let this account go just like that."

"What are your plans, mother?" Shen Jingzhen asked.

Qin Xuerong lowered her eyes and said slowly, "It is not suitable for any more troubles in the palace recently. However, in five days, there will be a birthday banquet at Prince Duan's Mansion, and Taifu Wang and his family will also be there. This is a good opportunity to solve your eldest sister's marriage."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was forcefully pushed open, and Shen Jinglin ran in angrily: "Mom, why is my second brother being punished to kneel! The ancestral hall is so cold and gloomy, what if my second brother gets hurt from kneeling!"

Shen Jinglin is young and thinks simply.

When his second brother's life was better, his life also became better. After his second brother became famous, his status also rose, and even his father liked him more.

Not only that, his second brother usually gave him a lot of good things, which made others envious. What's more, he was still waiting for his second brother to win the top prize in the imperial examination. By then, all the young masters in the other mansions would ask him for favors.

Therefore, Shen Jinglin could not bear to see Shen Jingan being wronged.

Qin Xuerong waved at him, pulled him to her side, gently stroked the wrinkles on his clothes, and said in a deep voice: "This time, it was mother who underestimated the enemy and fell into Shen Shuyi's trap."

Shen Jinglin frowned. Although he was young, his eyes were full of viciousness and hostility.

"It was Shen Shuyi who did it! I'm going to settle the score with her!"

After saying that, Shen Jinglin turned around and was about to run away. Qin Xuerong quickly pulled him back and said softly, "How can you settle the score? She is your second sister. If you go there like this, you will only be criticized. The words etiquette and law will crush you to death."

"Mother will seek justice for your second brother. Brother Lin, you must remember that if you want to protect mother, your sister, and your brother in the future, you must study hard. Only when you pass the imperial examination will your father value you and people will listen to you."

Qin Xuerong patiently and earnestly persuaded her.

Shen Jing'an is her eldest son. He has been working hard since he was young, and he has always been under pressure from Shen Shuhan. Therefore, he has been holding his breath and trying to surpass Shen Shuhan.

But Shen Jinglin is different. Shen Jinglin is her youngest child and is quite spoiled by the family. He has been naughty and mischievous since childhood and is a person who cannot sit still, let alone concentrate on studying.

Seeing that he was almost nine years old, he still couldn't catch up with his studies, and was often scolded by Shen Jingchuan for this.

"Okay, okay, mother, I know! Lin'er will study hard and pass the imperial examinations! Just like my second brother, I will earn you an imperial decree, and make all the ladies in the capital city envy you!" Shen Jinglin said with a smile. Although he didn't know how much Qin Xuerong listened to his words, his attitude was exceptionally good.

Qin Xuerong was so angry that she laughed: "You only know how to talk. In two days, your father will examine your schoolwork. If you don't answer well, be careful that your father will punish you!"

When this was mentioned, Shen Jinglin had a sad face: "Mom, can you please not mention this? Those things are too difficult, you have to help me when the time comes!"

"Okay, why don't you go review your lessons!" Qin Xuerong frowned.

Shen Jinglin stuck out his tongue, turned around and ran out.

Qin Xuerong looked at his back and sighed softly. Shen Jingzhen said gently, "Mom, don't worry too much. Although my brother is naughty, he is very smart. When he grows up, he will naturally know the importance of things."

Qin Xuerong was a little annoyed: "I hope so."

After Shen Jinglin left Ruixueyuan, he slipped into the ancestral hall.

Shen Jing'an knelt here all night, and his whole body was almost stiff. His knees went from being numb and swollen at first to almost losing sensation now.

But unfortunately, the people sent by his father were watching him from a distance, so he couldn't even take a break.

Just at this moment, a head popped out from behind the brown curtain: "Second brother!"

Shen Jinglin spoke in a low voice. The people in the yard looked up and saw that it was the little bully Shen Jinglin in the mansion. They immediately retracted their gaze and pretended not to see it.

"Brother Lin." Shen Jing'an responded in a low voice.

"Second brother, hasn't dad always loved you the most? Why would he punish you to kneel? I went to ask mom, but she wouldn't tell me!" As he said that, Shen Jinglin took out two pieces of lotus cake from his arms and threw them to Shen Jing'an.

Hearing this, Shen Jing'an's eyes darkened, and he said slowly: "Don't worry about this matter, but your second sister is deep-minded, you should stay away from her and don't provoke her. This time it's the second brother's fault, so naturally accept the punishment."

Shen Jinglin's eyes rolled around: "Okay, I get it, you just kneel down, I'm going to go play! Remember to buy me two powerful crickets next time you come back."

After saying that, Shen Jinglin turned and ran away.

As soon as he left the ancestral hall, Shen Jinglin's eyes started to roll around. He turned his head to look in the direction of Yun Shuyuan, with a nasty look in his eyes: "Wang Rong, did you say last time that there were snakes in one of my farms?"

"Yes, it's not far from the suburbs. If Fifth Young Master wants to go, I will prepare a car for you." Wang Rong bent his waist with a flattering look on his face.

"Let's go and catch a few today! That woman caused my second brother and mother to suffer, I must teach her a lesson today!" Shen Jinglin vowed.
