Shen Yutang also looked at Shen Danru.

Shen Danru paused for a moment and said softly, "Grandfather, you fainted this time because you were poisoned again. I suspect it's the same person who poisoned you last time. This time, the dosage was larger. Your body was already weak, which caused you to faint directly."

Shen Yutang asked angrily, "Ru'er, you said that Grandfather has been poisoned again. Could it be that someone poisoned him before?"

Shen Danru nodded.

“Grandfather, I suspect it’s Uncle Shui. You must be careful of this person.”

Upon hearing that it was Xiang Shui, Chen Shi was somewhat incredulous. He shook his head and said, "It's Xiang Shui? No way, how could he possibly poison me?"

Xiang Shui had been with him since childhood, and he had never regarded Xiang Shui as a servant. Therefore, he could not believe that Xiang Shui would do such a cruel thing to him.

But compared to his own granddaughter, he would definitely choose to believe his granddaughter.

“Grandfather, I understand you may find it hard to believe, but you must be careful of this person. Don’t reveal that you were poisoned beforehand; I have a way to make him slip up. Just focus on getting better; leave the rest to me and my second brother.”

Shen Yutang chimed in, "Grandfather, you just need to focus on recovering your health. Leave this matter to me and my second sister."

Shen Shi nodded: "Good, good, they are all good children."

He also wanted to find the culprit. This poison was extraordinary; even the military doctor couldn't detect that he had been poisoned.

The person behind this must be someone of extraordinary status.

At this moment, Shen Shi also began to doubt the people around him. Apart from his grandson and granddaughter, he could not trust anyone now.

Who exactly wants him dead?

Judging from Ru'er's expression, she seems to have found some clues.

However, whatever his granddaughter plans to do, he will fully support her.

“Grandfather, the matter that General Du sent me to investigate did indeed uncover that there were spies in Shengjing communicating with the enemy state, but…”

"The investigation was only halfway through when the clues suddenly went cold. I felt that the forces behind this matter were not to be underestimated, and I was afraid that I would be unable to continue the investigation."

Shen Yutang said with distress.

Shen Shi snorted coldly: "Tang'er, I already know about this matter. Enemy country spies are communicating with each other. I want to see who has such audacity."

"You should temporarily halt the investigation to avoid attracting their attention. I will later write to my confidants in Shengjing and instruct them to begin the investigation."

"Yes, grandfather."

To take care of Shen Shi, Shen Danru also stayed at the military camp at night, living next door to her grandfather.

Two days later, Shen Shi's health improved significantly, and Shen Danru returned to her residence.

In the mansion, she found many clothes that her grandmother had used before, as well as some portraits.

At the hour of Hai (9-11 PM), Shen Yutang arrived at the tent where Shen Danru was staying, as promised.

Shen Danru told Shen Yutang about her suspicions about Shui Bo.

"Second sister, whatever you need to do, your second brother will fully cooperate."

Shen Danru whispered something to Shen Yutang, and Shen Yutang gave a thumbs up in agreement.

At the hour of Chou (1-3 AM), Shen Danru changed into her grandmother's clothes.

When she returned home this time, she also brought Yuen Biao into the military camp.

Yuen Biao dressed her up so that her appearance was nine-tenths similar to the portrait.

If you don't look closely, you might almost mistake her for Lan Yangyang herself.

At this moment, the military camp returned to silence, with only a few soldiers on duty remaining.

Water God was also asleep.

He vaguely felt someone calling him, and in a daze, he saw a figure drift past him.

Uncle Shui mumbled as he sat up, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

The sunlight streamed through the window and fell on his bed, illuminating his aged face.

"Towards the water, towards the water..."

When Uncle Shui heard someone calling him, he immediately woke up. He quickly opened his eyes, looked around, and made sure that no one else was present.

He angrily cursed, "Who is it? Who is playing tricks here?"

"Haha, you've already forgotten me? I haven't forgotten you at all."

A red figure slowly drifted closer, as red as blood, appearing particularly eerie in the night.

"You, you are... Madam?"

"It's me." The woman in red's smile was chilling: "I wore this wedding dress when I married the general."

"But it's you, it's you who made me suffer so much..."

"Give me back my son..."

As the woman in red spoke, she floated closer to Uncle Shui and reached out to grab his neck.

Uncle Shui was so frightened that he quickly closed his eyes, unable to look directly at her...

He curled up and covered himself with the blanket.

"Xiang Shui, you've ruined my life..."

Xiang Shui said in a trembling voice, "No, it's not that I meant to harm you. I had no choice. You can only blame your bad luck. Someone wanted to kill you."

"You'll pay with your life..."

Uncle Shui trembled even more violently under the covers.

"Madam, if you want to find someone, go to the Duke's mansion and find the Second Master. He arranged everything; it really has nothing to do with me..."

Just then, the door opened, and Shen Shi walked in, followed by Shen Yutang, Du Huan, and others.

Hearing footsteps, Xiang Shui was startled.

The room suddenly lit up. Xiang Shui threw back the covers and found Shen Shi glaring at him.

Then look at the woman in red; who else could it be but Shen Danru?

"Ah Shui, I've treated you well, why did you do this?"

Chen Shi's words were filled with anger, incomprehension, and heartache.

"General, no, I was just talking nonsense..." Xiang Shui said, pointing at Shen Danru.

"It was all her doing. She had ulterior motives and was trying to sow discord between you and the Second Master."

"General, you must find out the truth. She is not the real young lady; she must be an imposter."

Shen Yutang stepped forward and sliced ​​off the finger that Shui Bo was pointing at Shen Danru with his sword.

"You dog of a servant, how dare you point at Second Sister so rudely! If you do it again, I will make sure your head rolls off the table."

Xiang Shui screamed in pain.

But when he heard Shen Yutang's words, he felt more fear than anything else.

He rolled off the bed, knelt before Shen Shi, and cried, "General, we grew up together, how could I harm you? Please don't believe them."

Shen Shi kicked him, knocking Shui Bo to the ground.

"Hmph, I don't trust my grandson and granddaughter, so why would I trust you, you treacherous dog slave?"

Shen Danru called out towards the door, "Come in."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Yuen Biao led an old man into the tent.

As soon as he entered, he said to Xiang Shui, "Ah Shui, you still show no remorse. How can you face the General?"

Xiang Shui looked at the newcomer and muttered to himself, "Impossible, impossible, weren't you dead?"

Shen Shi turned his head and saw Xiang Quan. He asked incredulously, "It's Xiang Quan? Where have you been all these years?"

Xiang Quan knelt down and kowtowed several times to Chen Shi.

"General, I'm sorry, I failed to protect the lady and the young master."
