But if I don't quickly find a way to sever my relationship with the Marquis' Mansion, it would be a disaster if I guessed it right.

Relatively speaking, the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion were much easier to handle. Except for his grandmother, he and the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion had long been at odds with each other. If he continued to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he would be killed by them sooner or later. It would be better to find an excuse to escape early.

But grandma has to be taken away!

Shen Wanwan felt really bad when she thought about how much suffering Old Madam Shen had suffered because of her, and she really wanted to just take her away.

But is she really willing to go with me?

Prime Minister Shen was her biological son, and she also had two grandsons and a granddaughter in the mansion. She was just one of her granddaughters. It was true that she had always loved her very much, but in this matter, she might not stand on her side...

"What are you thinking about, so absorbed?"

Shen Wanwan came back to her senses and smiled, "Wanwan, I suddenly think your previous suggestion is quite good. How about we become a couple?"

"what?"

"I'm just teasing you. Ask Chuntao to find someone tomorrow morning..."

……

On the other side, Biqing came out of the Buddhist temple and stumbled all the way back to Shufangyuan. Her whole body was covered in mud because she fell on the road.

Seeing her expression, Shen Wanshu thought she was frightened by the poisoning incident and snorted in disdain, "With such little courage, what's the point of staying with me? You might as well sell her off."

Upon hearing this, Bi Qing came back to her senses instantly and kowtowed repeatedly to Shen Wanshu, "Miss, please spare my life. I will never dare to do it again. From now on, I will obey your arrangements and will never mess up anything you have instructed me to do..."

When she spoke, her whole body was shaking violently, and her voice was trembling. The Third Young Lady was too scary. If she couldn't continue to stay with the Fourth Young Lady and gain her trust, she would die.

Shen Wanshu curled her lips, feeling extremely satisfied. "That's good to know. Go and make an appointment with someone for me tomorrow."

……

The next day, a piece of extremely explosive and exciting news spread among the people of Shangjing City: their Nanyao Kingdom's God of War Prince, Prince Qin, was not dead!

"Did you hear that?"

"According to reliable sources, it's true that the King of Qin was ambushed on his triumphant return to the capital, but it's not true that he died. However, he was injured and fell off a cliff. His injuries were serious, but fortunately he was rescued."

"Yes, yes, the King of Qin has now returned to the Qin Palace. Our Nanyao Kingdom's God of War is still here. This is a great joyous occasion that everyone should celebrate!"

"Rumor has it that the person who saved him was Xie Moxuan, the eldest son of the former Dingguo General's Mansion. The two returned to Shangjing together, and he is now living in the Qin Palace."

"What did you say? Didn't Master Xie die seven years ago?"

"You also find it hard to believe, right? Someone who should have died seven years ago has been resurrected and even saved the King of Qin. This is incredibly bizarre no matter how you listen to it."

"Who says it's not true? It was because he left the team midway that General Xie delayed military intelligence in his efforts to save him, which led to the death of 200,000 soldiers of the Mu family. All the men of the Mu family died in that war."

"No, no, I heard that there was a hidden story behind the incident seven years ago. Mr. Xie came back this time to overturn the case for the Xie family."

"Is this true? If that's true, then the Xie family is too unjust. It's said that all of them died during the exile."

"Who says it's not true? The only one left alive is Xie Yueqing, who married into the Cheng'en Marquis's mansion. Now that Master Xie has returned, the Xie family can be considered to have a successor."

"Speaking of which, Lord Cheng'en is quite loyal and righteous. When the Xie family was in trouble, he didn't divorce Xie Leqing and cut off all ties with the Xie family."

"You probably don't know this, right? When Xie Leqing was still the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion, Lord Pei was just a small editor in the Hanlin Academy. He was able to get the title of Lord because of the influence of the General's Mansion. He divorced Xie Leqing when the Xie family was in trouble. Isn't he afraid of being criticized by the world?"

"You sound like you know everything. When Xie Leqing married Pei Bailiang, the dowry she took away was two-thirds of the general's estate. Pei Bailiang didn't dare to divorce her. If they divorced, would he be willing to give up the dowry?"
