Good luck in pregnancy, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion has a soft waist

Shen Muxue pretended that she couldn't stop her and let her go into the pavilion.

How can you prove your innocence if you don't let people investigate thoroughly?

Shen Leyao rushed to the couch and suddenly lifted up the pile of quilts. There were only a few pillows inside, and no one was there.

Shen Muxue stood outside the pavilion.

People around stretched their necks to look inside.

Shen Leyao turned everything on the two couches upside down and found that there was indeed no one there.

She couldn't believe it: "How is this possible?"

"Are you disappointed that you didn't find him? Or did my second sister deliberately lure Master Zhang here, but Master Zhang didn't show up, which is why you are so sure that he must be here?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Shen Leyao with strange eyes.

It is really vicious to induce a man from outside to destroy your sister's reputation.

Shen Muxue's eyes were red as she spoke, and she looked particularly pitiful. "Second sister, are you forcing me to die? We are sisters! If someone offends you in the future, will you do the same to me?"

"No, I didn't!"

Shen Leyao started to get anxious.

He grabbed the person next to him and said, "You know me, I would never do such a thing."

Shen Muxue wiped her tears and nodded, "Yes, it must be a misunderstanding. I know my second sister is the kindest person in her heart..."

Just acting.

She is also good at it.

The man quickly pulled his hand back: "Well, I have something urgent to do, so I'll take my leave first."

Others also echoed: "Yes, I have something urgent to do too, let's go together."

"Me too."

……

Soon, only Shen Leyao, Shen Muxue, and Xi Xiang who was kneeling on the ground were left by the waterside pavilion.

Shen Leyao no longer pretends.

Pointing at Shen Muxue angrily, he asked, "Are you satisfied now?"

Shen Muxue wiped away the tears from her eyes and smiled charmingly: "Second sister, you really went to great lengths to frame me. You even dug up Zhang Dewen's affairs. It's just a pity that Zhang Shunyuan doesn't believe you at all. Your gun missed the target."

Shen Leyao stamped her feet in anger: "What a waste!"

Shen Muxue glanced at the pavilion and continued, "Back then, I was tricked into that private residence in the suburbs of Beijing! I let Zhang Dewen in even though I knew he had bad intentions towards me. When he insults me later, no one will know about your affair with Ling Fan, right?"

Shen Muxue approached step by step, laughing wantonly, "What a pity, God didn't let me die, it was Zhang Dewen who died!"

Shen Leyao was so angry that her teeth were itching.

He angrily said, "He is a waste."

Finally the secret slipped out.

Shen Muxue's tone softened, her eyes filled with disdain. "After all, it was you and Ling Fan who harmed him. Second sister, be careful of the ghosts that might come to visit you when you sleep at night."

Night fell quietly, the lake was lonely and silent, and Shen Muxue's voice came faintly, making people feel cold in their hearts.

"Shen Muxue, remember this! Let's see if you can be so lucky next time." Shen Leyao said harshly and left in a huff.

Seeing this, Xi Xiang quickly grabbed the corner of her clothes and said anxiously, "Wait! Second Miss, what should I do? How about I just follow you from now on?"

Shen Leyao kicked her and said, "Get lost! Who would want a traitor like you?"

Looking at Shen Leyao's gradually receding figure, Xixiang crawled to Shen Muxue's feet and kowtowed repeatedly: "No, Miss, I had no choice. Please forgive me this time, I won't do it again."

Shen Muxue stared at her, his eyes full of pity for her misfortune.

I feel sad for my past where I was so open-hearted.

She threw a long-prepared indenture contract to Xi Xiang: "For the sake of our past friendship, this is the last leniency I will give you. May you be blessed."

After saying this, he left resolutely.

Xi Xiang held the indenture contract in her hands, weeping bitterly, kowtowed heavily, and choked with sobs as she said, "Thank you, Miss—"

Shen Muxue slowly walked up the stone steps by the water, her heart still recalling what had happened today.

Originally, she thought that this secluded woman would only use some small party tricks to humiliate her, but she didn't expect that Shen Leyao was so scheming and ruthless that she could actually dig up Zhang Dewen's past.

Obviously, he had underestimated Shen Leyao in the past.

Thinking back to the dream in Qingshan Temple, Shen Muxue couldn't help but feel a chill all over her body.

Back on the shore, Qingyi changed into the attire of a servant in the Duke's Mansion, swung the two pieces of wood in her hands, and said triumphantly, "Miss, I've already removed the most crucial part. The second young lady's carriage will fall apart as soon as it hits the road."

Shen Muxue nodded slightly.

Qingyi observed her expression and asked, "Why are you unhappy, Miss? Did you catch a cold?"

Earlier, if she could have dealt with Shen Leyao, she would have been delighted.

But when she thought about how Shen Leyao had been disguising herself and how cunning her true self was, she felt a deep sense of crisis.

Because she was too weak at the moment, Shen Leyao could make her fall into the abyss with just a light finger.

She had to be faster, quicker.

Deliver a fatal blow before your opponent can counterattack.

As for how to act, she is still planning.

"Qingyi, where did you arrange for the coachman Zhang Wen?"

At that time, in order to stabilize Shen Leyao, Shen Muxue asked Zhang Wen to stage a play. After Zhang Wen succeeded, he left with an excuse and went to the hiding place they had explored in advance.

Qingyi had been waiting here for a long time and easily dealt with the spy sent by Shen Leyao.

Then she took Zhang Wen away personally and placed him in an inn where there were many people.

During this period, Shen Leyao kept sending people to look for Zhang Wen.

For safety reasons, Qingyi did not send him away for the time being.

When Shen Muxue asked about Zhang Wen, Qingyi replied, "He lives in the inn. Miss, do you want to meet him?"

"You must go to the inn immediately and ensure his safety. No chance of error is allowed."

Although Qingyi was puzzled, she did not ask any more questions and bowed respectfully: "As you wish."

After Qingyi's footsteps disappeared, Shen Muxue's thoughts were still wandering, wondering if there was any other way to solve the trouble caused by Shen Leyao once and for all.

Suddenly, a slightly hoarse voice broke her contemplation: "Miss Shen, the emperor summoned you."

Shen Muxue looked up suddenly and found that Peng Haiming was standing quietly in front of her.

She was clearly too focused.

She quickly bowed and replied, "Yes."

But I was extremely surprised.

Is the emperor going to solve the mystery himself?

Although she knew clearly that the young master and the emperor were the same person, Shen Muxue still felt a little nervous.

Peng Haiming led her into an exquisite water pavilion with an elegant layout, closed windows and low curtains, adding a sense of privacy.

She knelt and bowed, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. May you live forever."

As soon as the words fell, Peng Haiming laughed directly: "Miss Shen, you don't need to be so generous in private."

Shen Muxue was stunned for a moment, as she was really unfamiliar with court etiquette.

At this moment, a slight cough was heard from above, followed by the emperor's cold command: "Please take a seat."

Peng Haiming then brought a chair, and Shen Muxue sat down after thanking him. The emperor's aura was like the power of heaven, which made her involuntarily nervous and her heart beat like a drum.

The room was so quiet that you could hear breathing. Shen Muxue felt very uncomfortable and her breathing became cautious.

The emperor spoke again, his tone still cold: "Have you checked my previous rewards?"

Reward? You mean the wooden box?
