Chen Zhiyi was also confused.

"I don't know about that. It's not my place to inquire about the affairs of nobles in the palace. Besides, with the Regent's status, he might even dare to defy the Emperor. Although I'm confused, I don't dare to ask him."

"That's true..."

What kind of person was Zhou Xuance!

Even if the Duke of Zhenguo himself were here, he probably wouldn't give him face, let alone Shen Zhiyi.

"However, I have asked him not to reveal what happened today. I hope he will keep quiet for the sake of my father and brothers."

Shen Zhiyi's words surprised her mother-in-law, who quickly said, "Zhiyi is so sensible, she knows how to think about the Marquis's mansion."

Could it be...?

Was what happened today truly an accident?

If she did it, she shouldn't be pleading for the Marquis's family.

Shen Zhiyi looked embarrassed. "But Mother, what happened today was really..."

“Mother, from today onwards, you should rest quietly in your room. All matters will be decided by Grandmother or Father.” Song Yuxiu knew his mother’s predicament, but he still had to put on a show in front of Shen Zhiyi.

Chen could only swallow her anger and resentment.

"Zhiyi, what happened today was truly an accident. I was confused for a moment." Madam Chen shamelessly pleaded, "Could you please keep this a secret for me?"

"Of course, we are family after all."

"I knew you were a good kid."

Feeling defiled and filthy, Chen wanted to go back to her room to bathe, but Shen Zhiyi called out to her, "Mother."

"What is it?"

Her mother-in-law was very polite to her at this moment.

"I will have my maid retrieve the deed from your room later, as you promised me the shop."

Chen Zhiyi hummed softly:

Shops, silver... she'll take back everything that belongs to her!
