“Who doesn’t want something unique?”

Shen Lebai couldn't help but admire Shangguan Yueyin's intelligence and decisiveness.

"Seeing how confident my sister is, I'm sure we will succeed."

Shangguan Yueyin glanced at Shen Leyan gratefully. "It's mainly because of your support that I'm more motivated. Your idea is very good."

"It was Sister Shangguan who gave me the inspiration. I thought that if we have money, we will have the capital to make a living. We must earn more money."

"Yes, I believe that we will have a lot of money in the future that we can never spend."

Shen Leyan took Sister Shangguan's hand and said, "After Auntie recovers from her illness, we will go look for a shop together."

"Sister Shangguan, if you don't have enough money, just tell me. I have saved a lot of private money."

Shangguan Yueyin smiled and said, "Okay! I understand. Don't worry."

Seeing that it was getting late, Shen Lebai thought of not disturbing her anymore. He glanced at Shen Leyan and didn't expect that she would stay tonight to accompany Shangguan Yueyin.

"Brother, you should go back first. The miracle doctor said that we should stay here so that we can check on Aunt's condition and find a prescription for detoxification as soon as possible."

"Sister Shangguan is in a low mood today. I'm staying with her so that I can take care of her and comfort her."

Shen Lebai immediately objected: "If you stay, you will have to trouble Miss Shangguan to take care of you."

"Come back with me, don't stay here and cause trouble."

"I won't cause any trouble. What do you think, Sister Shangguan?"

Although Shangguan Yueyin also hoped that she could stay with her, she was worried that she would not be able to adapt to the living here because of the poor living conditions and the many things she had not bought.

"Sister Le Yan certainly won't cause any more trouble, but I still have a lot of things I haven't bought yet. Would you mind staying here until I have everything?"

"Look, I haven't packed up the things I brought out today yet. Once I'm done, you can stay as long as you want."

Shen Leyan then nodded and agreed: "Then I will come to see Sister Shangguan tomorrow."

"I'll leave Caiyue here to take care of Sister Shangguan today. You don't have enough staff here, and Caiyue has a lively personality, making her the best person to comfort people.

"This is my sister's personal maid. If she stays with me, how will you be without anyone to accompany you?"

"I still have Zhiyue! Let Caiyue accompany Sister Shangguan in my place today. She will be back tomorrow. The two of them have been with me since they were little. I can't bear to leave them."

"It's settled, Caiyue, thank you for your hard work today. Please take good care of Sister Shangguan for me."

Caiyue seemed to have received an important task, and said in a tone that promised to complete the task: "Don't worry, Miss! Caiyue knows."

Seeing that she was so persistent, Shangguan Yueyin no longer refused and happily accepted it.

"Then we'll leave first. You've been busy all day, you should rest early."

"I will select two maids and send them over tomorrow to take care of you."

Shen Lebai looked around. Although the capital's defense was good, he took on the task for the safety of several people.

"Leave this matter to me. Aside from the genius doctor, you are all women, which will be inconvenient. I will find two maids who are skilled in martial arts to protect your safety."

"Brother, what you said makes sense. I'll leave this matter to you. I'd prefer someone with strong martial arts skills."

Shangguan Yueyin looked at the two of them with great gratitude, knowing that they were thinking of her wholeheartedly. Thinking of what her family had done, she was moved to tears.

She forced herself to say, "Go back quickly. It will be dark soon. Be careful on your way."

After seeing off Shen Leyan and the others, Shangguan Yueyin asked Caiyue to clean up the room while she went to check on A Niang's situation.

Shangguan Yueyin didn't stay long before returning to her room. Looking at the busy Caiyue, she felt sad and wondered what would happen to her now if she hadn't met Shen Leyan.

As the night deepened, Shangguan Yueyin lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

She remembered everything that happened during the day, especially Shen Lebai's words, which made her feel very warm.

Although she is in an unfamiliar environment at the moment, having such friends to help her makes her full of hope for the future. She is finally no longer living a life where everything is arranged for her.

The next morning, brother and sister Shen Leyan and Shen Lebai were called to Shen's mother's courtyard.

The two of them stood together obediently, in a rare silence, without arguing in front of their mother.

"Tell me, what did you two do outside when you came back so late yesterday?"

The two of them pushed each other and neither of them was willing to speak first.

"Le Bai, tell me first, where did you go with those ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum yesterday?"

"Mother, let me tell you."

"I asked my brother to take the things to the government office."

"The doctor said that Madam Shangguan's illness urgently requires a large amount of Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng, so I asked my brother to bring some over from home."

More than just a few?

The housekeeper came to report that it had clearly been cleared out.

However, when she heard that it was urgently needed to save someone, Shen's mother nodded and said nothing.

"Then why did you stay in Shangguan Mansion for so long?"

Shen Leyan stepped forward and said coquettishly, "Oh, mother, you don't know. After the diagnosis of the miracle doctor, it turned out that Madam Shangguan was poisoned."

Then she vividly told her mother what happened in Shangguan Mansion yesterday.

After hearing this, Shen's mother was stunned for a long time. She didn't expect the Shangguan family to be so complicated. She was full of love for Shangguan Yueyin, but at the same time she extremely hated Shangguan Rui for treating his wife and biological daughter like this.

"What happened in the end? Did Miss Shangguan really move out with her mother?"

Shen Leyan nodded slowly: "If they don't move out, they might continue to be poisoned by Aunt Qing if they stay there."

Shen Lebai also said with great hatred: "Besides, Shangguan Rui is not a good person either. He only knows how to plead for his beloved concubine and constantly complains about Miss Shangguan."

"It's really ridiculous. He's already old, but he favors his concubine over his wife and doesn't care about his own children at all. It's better not to have such a father." Mother Shen was also very angry after hearing this.

"So what happened in the end? Was the aunt punished?"

"The Emperor ordered her to be beaten with thirty sticks, and she was demoted to slavery and expelled from the Shangguan Mansion."

"That's more like it. In my opinion, Shangguan Rui should also be given thirty lashes. If he hadn't doted on my concubine, this wouldn't have happened."

"But we didn't see these things with our own eyes. We had already left by then. It was Baoshun, the eunuch who was with the emperor, who told us."

"He also said that the emperor wanted Sister Shangguan to go back! It's not good for her to be outside with Madam Shangguan alone."

"But my daughter thinks that going back would be like returning to the wolf's den. It's good that Sister Shangguan is free outside now. At least there are no intrigues, and we can accompany her."
