Shen Xingmian also came to her senses and looked in the direction of the carriage. They were already outside the Gao family mansion. There was no need to follow closely. It was enough to know which courtyard he ended up in.

Using the courtyard walls, artificial hills, and trees as cover, I followed him from a distance until I finally determined the location he was going to.

After infiltrating, they discovered that the legendary old man of the Gao family was there, seemingly waiting for his son to return.

"father!"

"Feng'er, you're finally back. What your sister said is that with her support and protection, our great cause can succeed."

The old father spoke with great emotion, and got up to pace back and forth.

"Don't worry, Father. My sister has always listened to me since she was little. As long as I talk to her, I'm sure I can convince her."

Shen Xingmian scoffed. Ha, it's probably not persuasion, it's seduction.

The clueless father was still clapping and cheering, it was unbearable to watch.

After waiting for a long time, the two finally managed to steer the conversation towards iron ore—

"Father, our people have already started mining ore, but we still don't have enough manpower. Besides, the place is remote and gets cold early, so we need to send more people."

"Yes, that makes sense. Feng'er, you can arrange it as you see fit. By the way, go see your mother when you have time. She hasn't seen your sister in a long time and misses her terribly. Go talk to her about your sister and comfort her."

"Okay, I'll go right away, Dad, you go ahead with your work."

Shen Xingmian originally thought that it would be better if the brother and sister only had the same father, but of course, it wasn't much better.

Unexpectedly, the two were born to the same mother, who was still alive.

Just when Shen Xingmian thought Gao Jinfeng was about to arrange manpower, she found him heading to the backyard.

At first, I thought he was going to comfort his mother, and I thought it was fine, it was just a matter of a few words. After that, he would definitely go to arrange for people. But he actually went to his father's concubine's room!

Shen Xingmian: "..."

She thought that as a seasoned internet gossip enthusiast, she would no longer be shocked, but unexpectedly, she was shocked several times by the same person in just one day.

Looking at her equally bewildered mother beside her, Shen Xingmian finally felt a little relieved. Fortunately, she wasn't the only one who was shocked.

Since they had already wasted their time here, and had nothing better to do, they decided to go and listen, hoping to get news about the iron ore sooner and leave sooner.

Shen Xingmian thought this man would be mindful of his health and wouldn't cause any more trouble, but who knew that after seeing this concubine, he immediately lost control of himself.

Moreover, unlike his attitude towards his sister, he was practically venting his anger here, showing no tenderness whatsoever, but spewing plenty of foul language.

The concubine probably also had a taste for it, and the two of them were completely in sync, soon ending up on the bed.

It's both perverse and harmonious.

Shen Xingmian was listening intently when her mother covered her ears, her face turning red as she said, "Sweetie, go back first. I'll call you out when it's over."

hateful.

It's happening again!

Seeing that her mother really didn't want her to listen anymore, Shen Xingmian quickly pulled her mother back into the space.

If you won't let me listen, then I won't let you listen either, hehe.

"We can go out in less than half a cup of tea's time. Mother, let's wait here together for a while and tidy up the space."

Upon hearing "less than half a cup of tea," Shen Yunting immediately understood what her daughter meant. Her pretty face flushed red, and she said awkwardly, "Mian'er knows quite a lot. Where did you learn all of that?"

Although she used to think her daughter didn't understand anything, she and her husband had never done anything outrageous in front of her. At most, they had held hands and hugged each other when the daughter cried.

How come my daughter understood all of this as soon as she woke up?

"Ah, Mother, I didn't tell you that I've already learned a lot of things in another world, but I probably didn't find them interesting, so I didn't say anything."

Shen Yunting immediately forgot her previous doubts and asked with concern, "Is it because you're unhappy that Mian'er doesn't want to talk about it?"

Seeing her mother's obvious worry, Shen Xingmian felt that those distant unhappinesses didn't seem so bad after all.

So she smiled and comforted him, "No, I don't forget what I've learned. I've long forgotten all the unhappy things. Besides, with all of you loving me so much, what more could I ask for? I'm super happy right now!"

As if to prove the truth of her words, Shen Xingmian showed an extremely bright smile, then glanced at the time and said anxiously, "Mother, let's go out quickly, it should be almost over."

The previously warm and affectionate atmosphere instantly dissipated, and Shen Yunting was almost embarrassed by her daughter's choice of words, such as "it's over," which was quite suggestive.

Ignoring her mother's turbulent emotions, Shen Xingmian continued eavesdropping.

Sure enough, it was over inside, and they were saying some mushy, lovey-dovey things, making Shen Xingmian want to roll her eyes.

Although she knew this behavior was somewhat impolite, she had been holding back for so long and was really about to lose her temper!

The night before her exile, she and her mother had already visited the Gao residence, but at that time she didn't know much about the people and things there, and didn't know who lived in the mansion.

Now that I know, I'm even more eager to hollow this place out.

She patiently continued squatting, preparing to completely empty the place once she got the iron ore location!

Fortunately, Gao Jinfeng remembered to look for someone. After cuddling for a while, he started getting dressed. His aunt was sensible and didn't stop him.

When he finally went to find the people to be assigned to the mine, Shen Xingmian was almost impatient and wanted to jump out and beat them up.

"There are three copies of the map. They are only complete when put together. You must keep them safe and do a good job this time. Then you will have good days ahead. Now go down."

These words not only pleased the person in charge, but even Shen Xingmian found them heavenly.

She immediately abandoned Gao Jinfeng's group and followed the three people who went out. When they reached a secluded spot, she immediately signaled her mother to take action.

Shen Yunting was already impatient and rushed out immediately. Before the three people could even utter a sound, they had already fainted and were unconscious.

Fearing that her daughter would search the man's body without any hesitation, Shen Yunting quickly took matters into her own hands and started searching him herself.

After getting the map and piecing it together, the two were surprised to find that it was no wonder Gao Jinfeng had said that it got cool early there; it turned out to be in the northern border region.

That's right, the mountains over there are different from these. There are a lot of rocks, and it's even difficult to grow fruit trees. It turns out that there are minerals underneath!
