Chapter 564 Borrowing 1 Item
Shen Qinghuan's eyes rolled around: "Second sister means to let her be happy for nothing, let her taste the feeling of getting what she wanted first, and then watch these things disappear bit by bit..."
Shen Shuyi curled his lips: "Almost."
If you want to watch her struggle in love and lust, and engage in endless intrigues and fights with her husband, concubines, and mother-in-law, you must always give her some bargaining chips.
Otherwise, he would be crushed to death by the Feng family. Wouldn't that be a relief?
Shen Qinghuan was speechless for a moment.
Shen Shuyi looked at her, his eyes clear: "Fourth sister, you have to know that death is often a relief, and living is painful."
I have hope and dreams, so I am unwilling to die.
Therefore, they can only struggle in the mire every day, hurting others and themselves, and suffering from not getting what they want.
From then on, the only world they could see was the three-acre land in the backyard, and the Feng family’s backyard became her cage.
Of course, there is another reason that Shen Shuyi didn’t mention.
At the beginning, Jiang Li found out that Qin Xuerong used the sale of calligraphy and paintings to bribe people. If Shen Jingzhen emptied her money this time, Qin Xuerong would definitely not be able to resist and take action again.
People’s lives are difficult right now, and it’s time to get rid of these parasites in the court.
But she was not in the court, so she had no idea where to start. If Qin Xuerong could take action, at least she could get some clues.
Shen Shuyi stopped at the top of the wall and looked at the sunset.
In this world, how many people must be willing to step forward one after another, regardless of life and death, in order to bring peace and prosperity to the people?

On the other side, after being kidnapped, Shen Jingyu was placed in a house.
She stood at the window, waiting for someone to come.
She didn't expect that the person who saved her in the end would be Song Tingshan, whom he had never taken seriously.
Not long after, Song Tingshan knocked on the door and came in.
"Miss Shen."
Shen Jingyu turned to look at him, a little dazed.
At this point, with her in this situation, it seems that the only person who would call her Miss Shen so gently is Song Tingshan.
"Thank you for saving me, but I don't know how you knew my situation."
Shen Jingyu got straight to the point.
Song Tingshan coughed a few times and said, "Someone came to the Duke's Mansion to deliver a letter to me. I thought it was from the young lady."
Shen Jingyu frowned. She had no time to ask for help.
Who is helping her?
What is this person's purpose?
"Miss Shen, please take a good rest here and don't go out for the time being. However, the prince of the Princess's Mansion died in vain. I think Princess Guining will not let you go no matter what."
Song Tingshan spoke slowly, not to scare Shen Jingyu, because there were still people sent by Princess Guining looking for her outside.
Shen Jingyu looked solemn, unable to understand how she had ended up in a dead end step by step.
After a long silence, Shen Jingyu looked at him and said, "Does what the prince said before still count?"
"As a token of my respect, if the young lady is willing to entrust herself to me, I will marry her as my principal wife."
After a pause, Xiao Tingshan said again: "However, if Miss wants Song to marry her in a formal way, I am afraid she will have to change her identity..."
Shen Jingyu knew that what he said was right. After all, she could no longer use her identity as Shen Jingyu.
"Prince, give me some time to think about it. I will give you an answer in three days."
Xiao Tingshan was slightly disappointed, but he knew that some things could not be rushed.
After Xiao Tingshan and his group left, Shen Jingyu sat in front of the window, staring outside in a daze.
She is not a fool. Now that things have come to this, she will no longer trust anyone.
She knew that he was after the money in her hand, but she did not forget that he was the Third Prince Xiao Heyu's man, in other words, Concubine Rou's man.
She once took refuge with Concubine Jing and had the leverage over Concubine Rou. How could Concubine Rou let her go?
She was afraid that once Xiao Tingshan got the money, she would be doomed.
No, no, no, Xiao Tingshan is still untrustworthy...
She didn't think that Xiao Tingshan would still be moved by her current appearance?
How can others remain calm when they see something she finds disgusting herself?
All I can say is that he is too cunning.
But now, it seems that she has no choice but him.
She needs to think about it... and think about it again...
Shen Jingyu sat in front of the window, in a daze all night. She didn't even eat the dinner that Xiao Tingshan had someone prepare.
In the end, Shen Jingyu figured out the key.
If she wanted Concubine Rou and Xiao Heyu not to kill her, she had to make the evidence in her hand useless.
In other words, when the so-called evidence is revealed to the world and the so-called secret is known by someone who is more threatening than her, then her life or death will no longer matter.
She had to go see Concubine Jing.
As long as Concubine Jing knew Concubine Rou's weakness, Concubine Rou would no longer care about her life or death.
And Xiao Tingshan... relying on that money... can she really secure the position of the Crown Prince's Consort?
Shen Jingyu is now very conflicted. She wants to find a decent and safe place to spend the rest of her life, away from all the intrigues.
But he was unwilling to leave in such disgrace and wanted everyone to look at him with new eyes.

On the other side, Xie Mansion.
After hearing the news from Qin Xin, Xie Jingchi frowned slightly and called Hong Gu.
"Lord."
"Apart from Bauhinia grass, is there any other antidote for the poison of Blood Shadow Powder?" Xie Jingchi asked.
Hong Gu thought for a moment and shook her head: "No more."
Xie Jingchi was playing with a string of emerald green beads with an unfathomable look on his face.
An hour later.
Return to Princess Ning’s Mansion.
A mourning hall was set up in the Princess's Mansion, and the entire Guining Princess's Mansion was shrouded in white.
The servants were dressed in white linen, and Princess Guining also changed into a plain dress.
Xiao Rui's body was placed in a golden nanmu coffin, and the words "My son Xiao Rui" were written in large letters in front of the mourning hall.
The night wind was blowing in the mourning hall. Princess Guining leaned in her lover's arms and cried for a while, her eyes were red.
The guards and maids in the mansion were all very cautious, fearing that someone might accidentally bring bad luck upon this person.
Princess Guining wiped away her tears and walked towards the inner room: "Has Shen Jingyu not been caught yet?"
The head of the guards lowered his head, very nervous: "Princess, please forgive me!"
Xiao Mengxi was upset: "If she didn't go back to the Shen family and the Qin family, where else could she go..."
"what--!"
As soon as Xiao Mengxi finished speaking, the maid beside her let out a sharp cry, obviously startled.
Xiao Mengxi looked up and saw a tall figure sitting on the Feihe Eight Immortals Chair in front of her, with his back to her, casting a long shadow on the wall.
"Who are you?" Xiao Mengxi looked unhappy. She felt that these guards and secret guards in the Princess's Mansion were just decorations!
Xie Jingchi turned around and the group saw, in the dim candlelight, a tall man wearing a golden totem mask inlaid with sapphires, looking particularly strange and sinister.
Xiao Mengxi was stunned for a moment, her throat tightened: "Your Highness, I am sorry for not welcoming you here. I just don't know what brought you here."
Xie Jingchi's eyes were sinister, and he said quietly, "I want to borrow something from the princess."
As soon as he finished speaking, the maid outside rushed in, her voice tinged with tears: "Princess! It's bad! The prince's body... is gone!"
