Meng Keqing hadn't expected Meng Kexin to be so assertive, and for a moment she was speechless. Second Auntie, seeing this, quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Kexin, your sister is doing this for your own good. Your parents are far away at the border, and your second uncle has been running the General's Mansion. Life has been tough."

Meng Kexin glanced at Lan Meiling coldly, "Second Aunt, what do you mean by this? Kexin doesn't understand."

Lan Meiling smiled and said, "I heard from the kitchen servants recently that you asked them to make a lot of food and send it over. Can you finish all that by yourself?"

Meng Kexin understood in her mind that the mother and daughter came here today because of the food she had asked someone to prepare last time.

She said coldly, "Second Aunt, this is the General's Mansion. My parents founded our family business. Moreover, my father's salary has always been used in the General's Mansion. Can't the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion even decide what she wants to eat?"

Lan Meiling smiled awkwardly, "Aiya, Second Aunt didn't mean that. In Second Aunt's eyes, you and Keqing are exactly the same."

Meng Kexin sneered, "In that case, please don't disturb my life in the future, Second Aunt. After all, only when I am well can the General's Mansion be well!"

Meng Keqing snorted unwillingly, turned around and left with her second aunt. Meng Kexin looked at their backs and secretly vowed in her heart that she must make herself stronger and never be bullied again.

In the following days, Meng Kexin strengthened her own precautions and skillfully maneuvered between various forces to collect more evidence.

By chance, Meng Kexin discovers a key clue—a secret account book. This book records the financial transactions between her second uncle and those mysterious individuals, which is undoubtedly a key to solving the mystery. However, just as she is about to investigate further, a sudden crisis strikes.

Meng Kexin sensed someone was secretly monitoring her every move, and she realized her actions had attracted the enemy's attention. To protect the account book, she stored it in the system warehouse and created a fake account book to confuse the enemy.

Late one night, Meng Kexin carefully left home with the account book. She came to an ancient temple on the edge of the city and hid the account book in a secret compartment behind a Buddha statue. Then she left the dilapidated temple.

Meng Kexin realized that someone was following her, so she quickened her pace and walked into a narrow alley.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed by, and she felt a powerful force trying to push her to the ground.

Meng Kexin steadied herself and asked sternly, "Who are you? Why are you attacking me?"

The man in black sneered, "Humph, someone paid to buy your life. I'm just taking the money and helping them get rid of their misfortune."

"Really? Then tell me, who wants to kill me?"

"I can't tell you this myself, stop talking nonsense and come on!"

Meng Kexin didn't waste any time and launched an attack directly. The man in black was not a pushover either. He swung the sword in his hand towards Meng Kexin's vital points.

Meng Kexin rolled sideways to avoid the attack. She picked up a nearby wooden stick and engaged in a fierce fight with the masked man.

During the fight, Meng Kexin found that the masked man's moves seemed familiar. She had an idea and thought of the master beside her second uncle.

Could it be a killer sent by my second uncle?

Meng Kexin became more and more convinced of her guess. She used all her strength to fight the masked man to the death.

At the critical moment, Meng Kexin seized the masked man's weakness and kicked him away. The masked man fell to the ground and Meng Kexin took the opportunity to take off his veil.

As she expected, the assassin before her was none other than her second uncle's trusted confidant. Meng Kexin knew the battle had only just begun, and the enemy she faced was far more formidable than she had imagined. But she remained undaunted, her eyes gleaming with determination. She decided to use the assassin to uncover the true mastermind behind her second uncle's scheme.

Meng Kexin looked at the assassin who had fainted on the ground and secretly felt relieved. She decided to bring the assassin back to the general's mansion and force him to reveal the true identity of the mastermind behind the incident.

Back at the General's Mansion, Meng Kexin locked the killer in a secret room and personally interrogated him, using various torture methods, but the killer refused to speak.

When Meng Kexin was at her wit's end, she accidentally discovered a special token on the killer's body. She had never seen the pattern of this token before, but she felt that it must contain important clues.

Meng Kexin decided to take the token and sneak into her uncle's study to find the answer. In the study, she carefully searched every corner and finally found the record of the token in an account book.

It turned out that the token represented a mysterious organization, and Second Uncle had a close cooperative relationship with this organization. A chill ran down Meng Kexin's heart, and she realized that things were far more complicated than she had imagined.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Meng Kexin quickly hid. She overheard the conversation between her second uncle and another person and learned that they were about to carry out a major conspiracy.

Meng Kexin decided to destroy their plan. She quietly left the study and began to plan her next move. However, this time she had to face not only her second uncle, but also the mysterious and powerful organization...

At this moment, there was a steady and powerful sound of footsteps. Meng Kexin's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she swiftly hid in a secluded corner. Her breathing became rapid, and she waited nervously, her ears pressed tightly against the wall, trying to catch every sound outside the door.

Through the crack in the door, she saw her second uncle and another person walk into the room. Her second uncle had a serious expression on his face, while the other person looked mysterious. Their conversation reached Meng Kexin's ears, and she listened nervously, her heart beating faster with every word.

"This operation is crucial and we can't make any mistakes." Second Uncle's voice was low and serious.

"Don't worry, everything has been arranged." Another person's voice was full of confidence.

Meng Kexin's heart was filled with doubts and worries. She didn't know what important operation they were about to carry out, but she could feel the seriousness of the matter from their tone.

Meng Kexin eavesdropped on their conversation and learned that they were planning to transport a batch of precious goods in the near future. She was determined to stop them from succeeding.

When her second uncle and the man left the room, Meng Kexin quietly followed them out, carefully keeping her distance to avoid being discovered.

During the tracking process, Meng Kexin discovered the location of their warehouse. She took advantage of the guard change to sneak into the warehouse.

In the warehouse, Meng Kexin discovered the goods and was surprised to find that they were strategic materials urgently needed by the court. She realized that her uncle's actions could have a huge impact on the country.

Meng Kexin decided to report the situation to the authorities and let them handle it. However, when she left the warehouse, she was discovered by the guards.

A thrilling escape begins...
