After Xiao Yu left, Shen Weiwan held the jade pendant in her hand for a long while. Chun Tao came in with tea and saw her strange expression. She asked in a low voice: "Miss, is His Highness the Seventh Prince..."

"Don't ask." Shen Weiwan put away the jade pendant. "Tomorrow, follow the plan. Pry open the bottom of Liu's bed and ask the old housekeeper to go to the pawnshop."

The next day at dawn, the old housekeeper and several servants pried open the blue bricks under Liu's bed. Liu was still asleep. She woke up with a startling sound, then saw the black hole under the bed and rushed over screaming, "What are you doing?"

The old housekeeper ordered the servants to bring out a sandalwood box with Liu's maiden name engraved on it: "Madam, is there a mouse hiding under your bed?"

Liu watched the box being carried away, her face pale with anger: "Chen Weiwan! You are plotting against me again!"

Shen Weiwan walked in from outside, shaking the jade pendant given by Xiao Yu in her hand: "What are you talking about, aunt? I'm just helping you clean under the bed." She signaled the servant to open the box, which was indeed full of South Pearls, sparkling in the morning light.

"This...this is not mine!" Liu still wanted to quibble.

"It's not yours?" Shen Weiwan picked up a South Pearl, "That's perfect, I'll take it to the pawn shop to exchange for money and give the servants monthly wages."

Liu watched Nanzhu being packed and carried away, shaking with anger, but she didn't dare to stop it - she knew that Shen Weiwan had evidence of her correspondence with the Second Prince.

That afternoon, the old butler returned cheerfully, holding a heavy purse in his arms: "My dear lady! The pawnshop owner recognized the jade pendant and gave me 10,000 taels of silver!"

Shen Weiwan took the banknotes, counted them, and said to the old housekeeper with a smile: "Go, give double the monthly wages to all the servants in the mansion, and put the rest in the treasury."

The old butler was so excited that his beard stood up: "Miss, you are really..."

"Don't praise me," Chen Weiwan waved her hand, "Go tell Liu that her Nanzhu was pawned for 10,000 taels, just enough to make up for the military pay she embezzled."

When Liu heard the news, she was drinking alone. She was so angry that she smashed the wine glass to pieces: "Chen Weiwan! I'm not done with you!"

Lu'e whispered to the side: "Madam, the servants are all receiving double their monthly wages. They all say that the eldest daughter is a living Bodhisattva..."

"Living Bodhisattva?" Liu sneered, "She's just a ghost that's asking for her death!"

Shen Weiwan heard the report in her own courtyard and laughed so hard that she slapped the table. Chuntao brought some snacks and saw her happy look and laughed too: "Miss, should Liu be honest now?"

"Honest?" Shen Weiwan picked up a piece of peach blossom cake, "Once I expose her affair with the Second Prince, she won't be honest anymore."

As he was speaking, the old butler came in again, holding a secret letter in his hand: "Miss, this is sent by His Highness the Seventh Prince."

Shen Weiwan opened the letter. There were only eight words on it: "Second Prince's Mansion, West Wing, Hai Hour."

She looked at the words on the letter, a confident smile on her lips. It seemed that the next good show was about to begin. Liu, Second Prince, are you ready to take it?

That night, the servants of the general's mansion were all talking about it, and they were very happy to receive the doubled monthly salary. Only Liu's courtyard was dead and silent. Liu sat in the empty room, looking at the moon outside the window, her eyes full of resentment. She knew that she could not defeat Shen Weiwan, but she was unwilling to give up. She wanted to find the second prince and take revenge.

Shen Weiwan stood by the window, looking towards the Liu family's courtyard, clutching the secret letter tightly in her hand. She knew that Liu would definitely go looking for the Second Prince, and she was ready. At midnight, a wonderful "show" would be staged in the west wing of the Second Prince's mansion.

"Miss," Chun Tao asked softly, "Are you really going to the Second Prince's Mansion?"

"Of course," Shen Weiwan's eyes flashed with a cold light, "I am the protagonist of this scene, how can I be absent?"

As the night deepened, Shen Weiwan changed into night clothes and quietly left the general's mansion with Chuntao. At the same time, Liu also sneaked out and headed for the second prince's mansion.

The west wing of the Second Prince's Mansion was silent. Shen Weiwan and Chuntao hid in the dark, watching Liu sneak into the west wing and knock on the study door.

"Your Highness, please make the decision for me!" As soon as Liu saw the Second Prince, she burst into tears, "That little bitch Chen Weiwan snatched all my Nanzhu away and even said she would expose the fact that I had corresponded with you..."

The second prince frowned and interrupted her impatiently: "What are you panicking about? It's just a few beads, right?"

"Your Highness, that's ten thousand taels!" Liu cried, "and Shen Weiwan is too powerful, I can't beat her..."

At this moment, Shen Weiwan came out with Chuntao, holding the letter between Liu and the Second Prince: "Aunt, what are you talking about with His Highness the Second Prince?"

Liu and the Second Prince were both startled. The Second Prince's face turned pale: "Chen Weiwan, why are you here?"

"Oh, I came to deliver a letter to His Royal Highness the Second Prince," Shen Weiwan shook the letter in her hand, "and came to see my aunt by the way. I didn't expect to hear my aunt crying to His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

The second prince looked at the letter in Shen Weiwan's hand, his expression became even uglier: "What do you want to do?"

"I don't want to do anything," Shen Weiwan smiled slightly, "I just want to remind His Royal Highness the Second Prince that some things should not be taken too far, otherwise it will not be good for anyone if it gets to the emperor's ears."

The Second Prince looked at Shen Weiwan's confident look and knew that he had failed today. He glared at Liu fiercely and left in anger.

Liu looked at the back of the second prince as he left, then looked at Shen Weiwan, who collapsed to the ground with a deathly pale face.
