The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

It's bright

In an ordinary inn in the capital.

Shen Qionghua sat by the window holding a book. The golden sunlight shone through the clouds onto her pretty face, and the tiny hairs seemed to be glowing with golden light.

"Well……"

A slight sound broke the silence. Shen Qionghua looked up and saw that the woman lying on the bed had opened her eyes.

She put down the book, poured a cup of tea and walked towards Wu Minke.

"You've been in a coma for three days. How do you feel now?"

"Ms. Shen, you saved me?" Wu Minke looked confused for a moment, then her expression changed drastically. She reached out and touched her belly, "My child!"

"I'm sorry, the child was not saved."

Upon hearing this, Wu Minke burst into tears and her frail body trembled constantly.

After a while, he wiped his tears with his sleeve, lifted the quilt, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Shen Qionghua.

"Thank you, Miss Shen, for saving me."

If Shen Qionghua hadn't saved her, she would have probably sunk to the bottom of the lake.

Shen Qionghua quickly helped her up and said softly, "Don't thank me. You've thought about helping me before, haven't you?"

Shen Qionghua is not a saint. Although she couldn't bear to see Wu Minke drowned in the pond, she couldn't take care of herself so how could she meddle in other people's affairs?

Although she now has Prince Rui as her backer, she still lives in the Yongning Marquis's mansion. If she alerts the enemy, the Yongning Marquis will simply make the three of them, mother and son, disappear from the mansion, and even Prince Rui will not be able to do anything to her.

The reason why she saved Wu Minke.

It was all because she asked An Yi to go to Rongde Hall to eavesdrop. After An Yi came back, he told her that Wu Minke also knew about the Yongning Marquis Mansion's plot against the Shen family.

This made her think of something instantly.

When the Shen family first entered the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, she received a letter. The content of the letter was very concise, with only four words - leave the Marquis' Mansion.

She thought it was just a prank and ignored it, and never received such a letter again.

When he first came to the capital, the Yongning Marquisate's intention to seize the Shen family's property was concealed very well.

Apart from a few masters of the Marquis' Mansion, Prince An, and his confidants, no one else could have imagined that a prince, a child of destiny, would actually plot against a mere merchant.

So the person who wrote the letter could only be Wu Minke.

Wu Minke's eyes flashed with surprise when she heard this. "Ms. Shen, did you know that I was the one who sent that letter?"

Seeing Shen Qionghua nod, Wu Minke's face was filled with shame, "I'm sorry, Miss Shen, I knew about this but didn't dare to tell you."

She entered the Marquis' Mansion at the age of eleven. She was neither a maid nor a master, and was in a very embarrassing situation. The entire mansion treated her as a transparent person.

Until she was fifteen years old and had sex with Zhou Jinlin on her coming-of-age night, she became his plaything.

One night a few months ago, Zhou Jinlin took her to the study.

Afterwards, she lay on the small couch with her eyes closed. Zhou Jinlin thought she was asleep and talked about things with his confidant in the outer room, and accidentally talked about the Shen family.

She heard that the Marquis' Mansion was planning to plot against the Shen family.

She was shaking with fear.

Through her experiences from childhood to adulthood and her years of living in the Marquis' Mansion, she had long learned to be cautious and self-protective.

She didn't even dare to say a word when her own innocence was taken away by someone, so how could she dare to tell such a thing to others?

She chose to forget, as if she had heard nothing that night.

Until she met Shen Qionghua in the mansion, she greeted her with a bright smile.

She felt from the bottom of her heart that such a woman should not have ended up like that.

So she plucked up her courage and went to the street to find someone to write the letter for her, reminding Shen Qionghua to leave the Marquis' Mansion. She also gave the little beggar one or two taels of silver and asked him to deliver the letter to the Marquis' Mansion and hand it to Shen Qionghua's maid in person.

But Shen Qionghua did not leave, and she did not dare to write a second letter.

Regardless of whether Shen Qionghua believed it or not, if she took the letter to ask the eldest lady, she would definitely die.

She was a selfish and cowardly person who only wanted to save her own life, so she kept silent about the matter afterwards.

However, she didn't expect that Shen Qionghua already knew about this, knew that it was her who wrote the letter, and saved her.

Shen Qionghua smiled faintly: "I understand, you are also helpless."

As soon as the words "I have no choice" came out, Wu Minke's eyes turned red instantly.

"Just rest and recuperate here. What are your plans for the future? I'm afraid you won't be able to stay in the capital anymore."

If Wu Minke stayed in the capital, there was no guarantee that she would not be spotted by people from the Yongning Marquis' Mansion one day, and then the three of them, mother and son, would be in danger.

"I also want to leave the capital, but..." Wu Minke pursed her lips.

She did not have the courage to seek revenge on the Marquis' Mansion, but she also knew her own limitations. She had no control over her life, and the best outcome would be to leave the Marquis' Mansion and become a free person.

But now she is registered as a dead person. She has no household registration and no money, so she can't go anywhere.

Shen Qionghua smiled slightly and handed her the item in her sleeve, "This is what I prepared for you."

Wu Minke took it and opened it. Inside was a new household registration with a changed name and one thousand taels of silver.

"Ms. Shen, how could I accept so much money from you!" Wu Minke said as she was about to return the banknote.

Shen Qionghua held her hand and said, "Don't refuse. You still want to help me when we are strangers. This is what you deserve."

"But... I can't help you in any way." Wu Minke said softly.

She didn't even dare to tell Shen Qionghua in person that the Marquis' Mansion was plotting against the Shen family.

"Take it. With this money, you can live a stable life somewhere else." Shen Qionghua said.

Wu Minke felt a lump in his throat. He put the things aside, knelt down, and kowtowed three times to Shen Qionghua.

Shen Qionghua helped her up. Wu Minke looked at Shen Qionghua and said, "Miss Shen, since you know the Marquis's plan, why don't you leave the Marquis's Mansion?"

Shen Qionghua sighed, "My situation is different from yours. I still have relatives. The Marquis' Mansion will not let the Shen family go until they achieve their goal. I can't hand over the property left by my father to the Marquis' Mansion."

What’s more, there is the blood feud from the previous life!

Wu Minke nodded to show her understanding. Shen Qionghua still has family, so it doesn't matter if she doesn't go back to her home.

Suddenly, Wu Minke seemed to have thought of something and said, "Then you'd better pay more attention to Madam Shen. The Marquis has been in the capital recently, which is very unusual."

After she finished speaking, she met Shen Qionghua's slightly puzzled eyes and blurted out, "Miss Shen, don't you know that the Marquis likes Madam Shen?"

"What did you say!" Shen Qionghua stood up in shock.

"Ms. Shen, you really don't know." Wu Minke said in surprise.

She also thought that Shen Qionghua knew that the Marquis' Mansion was planning to plot against the Shen family, and should also know about this matter.

"Where did you hear that?"

"I...I overheard the quarrel between the eldest lady and the marquis a long time ago." Wu Minke said.

At that time, she had just entered the Marquis' Mansion. Everyone in the mansion seemed to be wearing a mask. From the master to the servants, no one paid any attention to her, and her meals were also withheld.

She was so hungry that she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and wanted to go to the big kitchen to find something to eat. Unexpectedly, she stumbled into the yard of the eldest lady and heard the eldest lady and the marquis arguing.

The noise was so loud that she was frightened and quickly ran back to her room. Fortunately, she was so hungry that she was pale and thin at home, and it was dark, so she was not discovered.

"I heard them arguing that the Marquis originally wanted to marry Madam Shen, but it was the eldest lady who used some trickery to get her married into the Marquis's mansion."

Shen Qionghua's face turned pale, and his mind was full of Zhou Lingyi's words before his death in his previous life.

She said that her mother... seduced men.

Yes.

The reason for killing Ayi was that he was the only male in the Shen family. Marquis Yongning and Prince An wanted her to use all the Shen family's wealth to support them, so naturally they had to get rid of Ayi.

But A'niang is weak and simple, and she trusts Lin wholeheartedly. Why would they go to the trouble of killing A'niang? Wouldn't it be better to use her to restrain herself?

The only reason is that Marquis Yongning is interested in A Niang, so Lin cannot tolerate A Niang.

Thinking of this, Shen Qionghua could no longer sit still. She hurriedly said goodbye to Wu Minke and returned to the Yongning Marquis Mansion.
