At this moment, it was already past 3 p.m., the sky was gradually getting dark, and Xu Yang and the others had not returned yet.

"Xiao Rou, why don't we wait until tomorrow? The city gates should be closed by now, and your uncle and the others won't be able to enter the city."

"Grandma, don't worry! Even if the city gates are closed, Xu Yang can still bring my second uncle back to the city."

"Su Mo, go to the city gate to see if my second uncle has arrived."

"Yes."

As Su Mo walked to the door, she saw Xu Yang and Ye Qing coming with Shen Daqiang and his wife, "You are finally back."

"We rode non-stop all the way and finally got into the city before the gates closed."

"Come in! The princess is waiting."

They came into the room. When Shen Mei saw her parents coming back, she immediately showed a pitiful expression and whispered: "Dad and Mom..."

Shen Daqiang scolded: "Don't talk."

Then he asked Shen Rou: "Xiao Rou, what did Xiao Mei do wrong? Tell me and I will teach her a lesson."

"Uncle, she conspired with the assassin and almost killed me on the way back to the city. What do you think should be done about this?"

Shen Daqiang and his wife were immediately shocked. "Xiao Rou, could we be mistaken? Xiao Mei would never dare to hurt you no matter how brave she is."

"Uncle, I've investigated this matter thoroughly, and she confessed everything herself. If you don't believe me, ask her. Without solid evidence, I wouldn't have asked you and Auntie to come back."

Shen Daqiang looked at his daughter, feeling furious, and raised his hand to hit Shen Mei.

"You are such a naughty girl, you dare to harm your cousin. I will beat you to death today."

Shen Mei was so upset after being beaten by her father that she burst into tears. Grandma and her second aunt hoped to calm Shen Rou down in this way, after all, the entire Shen family now depended on Shen Rou for survival.

Shen Mei burst into tears and cried loudly: "Dad, am I your biological daughter? How could you treat me like this? You believe everything others say. Whatever I say is useless."

"Go ahead and beat me to death! Even if I die, I won't bring shame to the Shen family, and I won't make you angry."

"You dare to be so stubborn after doing something wrong? Apologize to Xiaorou immediately."

"Look at her murderous eyes. Will it be of any use if I admit my mistake to her? I was also forced to do so. I am also a victim. You don't care about me at all, but just want me to apologize to her. How can there be parents like you in the world?"

Shen Rou knew that her second uncle was calling her for show. If she didn't have the gun in the space today, she would definitely die.

Second uncle thought Shen Mei would be safe and sound after just a few beatings, but he was totally wrong. I, Shen Rou, cannot tolerate any sand in my eyes. Once betrayal will lead to countless betrayals. Keeping her will only bring hidden dangers to myself.

"Second uncle, please stop hitting her. She has the intention to harm me and she definitely cannot stay in Yunzhou. Tomorrow morning I will send someone to send you three back home. Don't come to Yunzhou again."

"Xiao Rou, your second aunt and I were doing well. If you suddenly ask us to go back, what will the villagers think of us?"

"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for raising a good daughter. Two years ago during the Spring Festival, she took my sister's jade pendant and made everyone unhappy. This year, she rented a carriage and came here to do her job properly. Do you think she looks like she's working?"

"She bullies Xiaonan all the time, but today she even conspired with the assassin to kill me. Luckily, she escaped this time. I'm upset just seeing her stay in Yunzhou."

After Shen Rou finished speaking, she turned and went into the room, no longer paying attention to anyone else.

My second uncle wanted to say something, but was stopped by my second aunt Chen, who shook her head to signal him not to speak anymore.

The next morning, a carriage stopped in front of the breakfast shop.

Shen Rou took out a hundred taels of silver from her bosom and handed it to Shen Daqiang, "Second uncle, this hundred taels is the wages for you and your second aunt."

Shen Daqiang apologized: "Xiaorou, Second Uncle is sorry for you."

"Uncle, please take your and your aunt's luggage from the factory."

"it is good."

They said goodbye to their grandmother, and the family had no choice but to get on the carriage and leave Yunzhou.

Second aunt glared at Shen Mei angrily, "You dead girl, you are still restless after coming here. You actually did such a thing, causing your father and I to be implicated. What's wrong with me that I gave birth to a troublemaker like you? I will go back and find a way to marry you off as soon as possible."

Shen Mei said aggrievedly, "Mom, you've been nagging me non-stop since yesterday. I was forced to do this. If I hadn't agreed, I'd be the one to die. I'm innocent, and no one cared how scared I was. You just keep blaming me, asking why I have such cold-blooded parents like you."

Chen said angrily: "You damned girl, you dare to talk back..."

Shen Daqiang held Chen's hand, his expression extremely grim. "Mother, forget it. It's too late to say anything now. Go back to your hometown and farm!"

Chen was furious at the thought of returning to her hometown and having to work hard all day. She wanted to grab Shen Mei and beat her up, but nothing she said would help.

Shen Rou watched their carriage leave and whispered, "Xu Yang, since Shen Mei has done something wrong, she must pay the price. Send someone to tamper with the route they must take to make her disappear. Don't touch my second uncle and second aunt. After all, they haven't done anything to offend me."

"Yes."

They thought the princess would just let go of the people who harmed her, but they didn't expect there would be a sequel.

Shen Rou just didn't want to embarrass her grandmother and second uncle, but how could she be willing to let the people who hurt her go?

A few days later, Shen Daqiang and his companions were robbed by bandits on their way back to their hometown. Shen Mei was unfortunately killed, but Shen Daqiang and his wife only suffered minor injuries.

They returned to their hometown in Furong County in grief.
