Shen Ning wished Shen Shu and Shen Yu would disappear from this world. She had killed people, but the only one she killed with her own hands was Shen Ming. However, she had killed many people by using others as accomplices. She was not a kind person.

But no matter how much she hated Shen Shu and Shen Yu, she couldn't bring herself to kill them.

If she could kill anyone without any psychological burden, would she still be considered a human being?

But even if she doesn't kill them, they will definitely become a problem for her.

Although Shen Shu was driven out and left to fend for herself, she never underestimated Shen Shu's charm in attracting men. She even had a hunch that Shen Shu would definitely escape from exile and stand in front of her in a glamorous way again.

Although this didn't happen in her previous life, it makes perfect sense for Shen Shu to experience it.

Shen Yu is a male member of the Shen family, and she cannot expel him from the clan like she did to Shen Shu.

After thinking it over, I decided to tie him up and send him back to his family home. Just seeing him hanging around in front of me is annoying.

Shen Yu went to Wei Congwen to ask him to save Shen Shu, but Wei Congwen remained silent and ignored him completely.

Shen Yu was so angry that he cursed loudly, but he was powerless and young, and in the face of such a thing, he could only be filled with powerless rage.

He angrily kicked the trees by the roadside, then was knocked unconscious, thrown into a carriage, and dragged away.

Shen Ning was so annoyed by their commotion that she went to the manor to check on this year's crops.

The Shen family's main source of income did not come from rent collected from tenants, so the rent they collected from their land was cheaper than others. As long as the rent was paid on time, they would even help those in need. Therefore, these tenants were very grateful to Shen Ning.

The simple farmers were filled with gratitude but had nothing of value to offer, so they planted all sorts of fruit trees in the corners and edges of the fields. Once the fruit ripened, everyone tacitly agreed not to touch it, insisting on sending someone to invite Shen Ning to pick it up, and only after Shen Ning had picked out the leftovers would they divide it among themselves.

Shen Ning visits three times a year: in early spring to see the flowers, in late summer to eat the fruit, and in autumn to harvest the grain.

Not once was she unpopular.

Shen Ning's favorite thing to do is to walk through the fields with a basket in hand, pick a few fruits that she likes, and taste them together to see if they are as delicious as last year's.

When we got to the mountain, the trees were full of peaches, not fully ripe, but crisp and delicious.

Liu Ying sighed, "The fruit from our village is still the best; none of the ones you buy outside taste like this."

Shen Ning agreed with her and continued to select peaches and plums, which she intended to give as gifts.

Of course, Du Yunzhi and Princess Chang Le were also included. Shen Ning originally wanted to invite them to come along, but they were all tied up and couldn't enjoy the fun. So Shen Ning could only pick out the sweet fruits for them to try.

Shen Ning first sent the fruit back, and then stayed at the estate for several more days before returning to the city.

They set off very early and weren't in a hurry to get there. The carriage slowly made its way back, passing by merchants and ordinary people, and occasionally even groups of soldiers.

As noon approached, there were fewer people on the road.

Shen Ning had seen enough of the scenery and was feeling drowsy when a horse suddenly burst out of the woods and charged straight at Shen Ning's carriage.

Mo Lin rushed over immediately, grabbed the reins, and forcefully turned the horse around.

The horse, in pain, turned in a different direction and quickly ran away, but a person was thrown off its back and landed heavily on the ground.

Shen Ning saw that face, and her pupils suddenly contracted.

"Quick, help him up."

Two servants helped carry the person up, and Shen Ning quickly closed the curtain. With a solemn expression, she said to Mo Lin, "Full speed ahead! As long as we don't overturn, go as fast as you can!"

Mo Lin never questioned Shen Ning's words, especially since Shen Ning clearly recognized the person being helped into the car.

She wanted to save someone, so naturally he helped.

"drive!"

The reins swung heavily, and the carriage sped off. Shen Ning was thrown against the carriage wall, and the people who had just been helped up also slammed into her arms.

"Miss!"

Yu Zhu and Liu Ying almost lost their footing as they grabbed the window frame with one hand and reached out to help Shen Ning pull people up with the other.

"Don't touch him."

Shen Ning steadied herself, gritting her teeth and enduring the pain as her back scraped against the carriage.

The person she rescued lay unconscious in her arms, and she was absolutely certain that she wouldn't mistake that overly innocent-looking boy's face.

The prince was bound to a horse and charged out of there, clearly indicating that he had been assassinated.

Shen Ning inspected the area but found no wounds, yet the Crown Prince remained unconscious.

"Qin Yan, Qin Yan, wake up!"

She tried to wake the person, but the person suddenly opened their mouth and vomited a mouthful of blood, which then fell heavily onto Shen Ning.

Luckily, his head was tilted to the side, otherwise he would have definitely spat on her.

Judging from the appearance, the injury is to an internal organ, and it's quite severe.

Fearing that he might be thrown off balance and worsen his injuries, Shen Ning could only hold him tightly in her arms.

The carriage kept jolting, and Shen Ning forced herself to calm down: "You two get off the carriage immediately and separate from us. Find a way to rejoin the caravan and go back to the Qin residence to ask for help."

Yu Zhu quickly shook her head: "I want to go with Miss."

Shen Ning said sternly, "This is an order: you are to live and go find someone to rescue you, understand?"

The two looked at the person being held tightly by Shen Ning, not understanding why Shen Ning was so nervous.

Shen Ning didn't want to explain, but if she didn't make things clear at this point, they wouldn't understand the gravity of the situation.

“This is the Crown Prince. I have to save him since I found him. I can’t be separated from him. Otherwise, if he dies in my hands, the entire Shen family will be buried with him.”

“Someone wants to kill him, and there are definitely pursuers behind him. You two are not conspicuous, so split up and go somewhere else. Notify Qin Zhuo as soon as possible to come and rescue us. Remember not to let anyone notice anything unusual. Also, apart from Qin Zhuo and the people you know with him, do not trust anyone else, understand?”
