Shen Wanwan didn't know that Xiao Yuanzi was thinking about burning incense in her mind. She had already returned to Wanqingyuan.

Hearing intermittent sobbing coming from the courtyard in the distance, Shen Wanwan frowned slightly. Who would be crying in the corner in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?

Could it be that someone saw that I had been away for so long and came to bully me again?

But with Feiyue here, who would dare to come here and act wildly without any eyesight?

Shen Wanwan didn't knock on the gate, but flew over the wall and went in. After landing, she walked towards the pavilion, her small body curled up on the stone chair, crying softly.

"Chun Tao, why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night? Who are you mourning for?"

The crying stopped suddenly.

When Chuntao heard the familiar voice, she forgot to sob and suddenly raised her head to look at Shen Wanwan.

"Miss, I thought I would never see you again, wuwuwu..."

"I, your young lady, am not dead, so why can't you see me?"

"Miss, you don't know that six days ago, the Second Young Master came back and brought back the news that you fell off a cliff..."

Shen Yifei was rescued by Prince Pingnan and brought back to Shangjing City. He learned from the guards that Shen Wanwan had fallen off a cliff. When he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he immediately informed his family of the news.

Mrs. Shen Su Liujuan was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears. Even Old Madam Shen shed a few tears before returning to normal.

"However, for some reason, rumors suddenly spread that you were kidnapped by bandits and jumped off a cliff to your death after losing your innocence. The Madam and the Old Lady moved back to their respective courtyards the day after the Second Young Master returned."

Shen Wanwan was suspicious: "Why is this happening? Madam Shen moving out is fine, but why is Grandmother moving out as well?"

"A few days before you were away, Miss Pei came to accompany the old lady for three days. But on the fourth day, Miss Pei didn't come, but the King of Qin came. He came to ask about Miss Pei's whereabouts."

Chun Tao glanced at Shen Wanwan, and seeing that her expression hadn't changed, she continued, "Everyone in the courtyard saw the King of Qin accusing Feiyue."

Shen Wanwan's expression changed instantly, and a chill rose in her heart.

She could imagine the scene at that time. Gu Beichen was so anxious to know her whereabouts that he even came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, which showed how anxious he was.

Everyone in the yard saw this and naturally thought that he had been kidnapped by bandits.

A normal person who fell off a cliff would definitely leave no trace of his body, so when the news of her falling off the cliff spread, those smart people automatically assumed that she fell off the cliff after losing her innocence and died without any evidence.

This is how the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion behave. They didn't miss the opportunity to discredit her reputation even after her death. But, what good would it do them to do so?

No, maybe their purpose was not to discredit her, but to retaliate against Gu Beichen by discrediting her!

Gu Beichen ruined the marriage between the Xiangfu and the Anguogong Mansion. Now that the news of her accident has come back, some people naturally want to use this incident to get back at her.

After all, there are rumors outside that the King of Qin is fond of Miss Shen San, which is why he put pressure on the Prime Minister to force him to terminate the engagement with the Duke's Mansion.

The King of Rui was recently discovered by the King of Qin to have been raising private soldiers, and a large number of weapons were even found to be hidden in the mansion of the Marquis of Cheng'en. Either of these is a serious crime of treason, and if any one is not handled properly, it will inevitably cause great turmoil in the court.

Gu Beichen, the war god prince of Nanyao Kingdom and the only legitimate son of the current emperor, abandoned everything at this moment and hurried out of the city to chase a woman who had lost her innocence. This news was enough to let the people of the world see that he was not capable of taking on such a heavy responsibility.

It might even be exploited by those with ulterior motives, and with the help of the censors, it could be said that the King of Qin was the one who had raised private soldiers, and that the King of Rui was framed by him.

At that time, Gu Beichen had a problem whether he could even keep his life, let alone inherit the throne.

When Shen Wanwan thought of this, her eyes darkened.

"Where is Feiyue? Where is she?"

She was very sure that Feiyue was not there at the moment. If she was in the yard, she would definitely notice her return at the first moment. But after a while, she still did not appear, which showed that she was not there.

Chun Tao hesitated, "Fei Yue..."

"What's wrong? Did anything happen while I was away?"

Chun Tao cried out again, "Miss, you are so pitiful. We are both from the Prime Minister's Mansion, how could they be so cruel to you?

"On the day the Madam and the Old Madam moved out, the servants in the courtyard were also dismissed, and Feiyue was also driven away by them."

"what?"

Shen Wanwan really didn't expect that the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion were so impatient. Only two days after the news of her falling off the cliff was reported, they took action against Wanqingyuan.

"Everyone else has left, but you insisted on staying here. You must have suffered a lot, right?"

"I'm fine. I belong to you in life and to you in death. Even if they beat me to death, I won't leave.

"Besides, Miss, have you forgotten? My indenture is in your hands. They wouldn't dare to beat me to death."
