"Of course it's Miss Shen Congxin from the Shen family. You'd better step aside, or you really won't be able to afford to pay for it if you break it!" the man said while directing the people carrying the boxes.

"Tch..." The man shrugged dismissively, but still moved aside.

"Something from Shen Congxin? Then Mr. Shen should care about Shen Congxin a lot, how could this be..." Jiang Ling didn't dare to think about what happened next, after all, she had watched quite a few palace dramas and domestic dramas in modern times.

People like Shen Congxin probably have very complicated relationships.

The boat slowly moved away from the shore, and the people on board chatted in twos and threes, or went into their rooms to take a nap.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Jiang Ling led Jiang Yaojie toward the top of the cabin, which was reserved for Shen Qianhe. As soon as they reached the halfway point, a servant warily stopped Jiang Ling.

"I need to speak with your master!" Jiang Ling explained to the servant.

The servant shook his head and refused, saying, "Our master said that outsiders are not allowed to enter!"

Jiang Ling thought for a moment, then took out the jade pendant that Shen Congxin had given her. Pointing to the two characters "Congxin" on the back of the pendant, she said, "This was given to me by your young lady, Shen Congxin. This thing can't be faked, and I won't make things difficult for you. Go and inform them! If your master still doesn't allow us to go in, then let's make it!"

The servant hesitated for a moment when he saw the jade pendant in Jiang Ling's hand. He recognized it as the young lady's personal item, and the two characters outlined in gold powder on the back were impossible to fake. Thinking of this, the servant nodded to Jiang Ling and said, "Wait a moment, I will inform her just like this!"

About a minute or two later, the servant came running over, panting. His attitude towards Jiang Ling had completely changed. He bowed and said respectfully, "Our...our master, please!"

Led by the servant, Jiang Ling arrived at the top of the ship. Although it wasn't very luxurious, the view was beautiful, the room was very large, and there was no dampness at all.

When Shen Qianhe saw Jiang Ling again, he was stunned and stood there. He didn't even notice that his wine cup, which he had been drinking from, was full. It wasn't until the liquor spilled onto his clothes that he realized what had happened.

"You... how could it be you? Why is my daughter's jade pendant in your hands!" Shen Qianhe seemed very anxious. He rushed to Jiang Ling and asked.

Jiang Ling smiled faintly, her eyes scrutinizing Shen Qianhe's facial expression as she slowly said, "Mr. Shen, you really care about your daughter!"

"Isn't that obvious! That's my daughter! If I don't care, do you think you do?" Shen Qianhe was a little anxious, and her tone became aggressive.

"Oh really? Then I have a question for Mr. Shen. Your daughter has been writing to you for over half a month. Why haven't you made your move yet? Is it really more important to you than your daughter's innocence?" Jiang Ling suddenly raised an eyebrow, and two cold glints shot out from her eyes.

"What? Innocence? Trust? You...you...can you explain yourself more clearly? I have absolutely no idea!"

Jiang Ling's words enraged Shen Qianhe, who yelled at the servant outside the door, "Gong Er! Gong Er! Get your ass in here right now!"

Gong Er stumbled in, knelt down in front of Shen Qianhe, and asked tremblingly, "Master... Master, what... what's wrong?"

"What the hell is wrong? Gong Er, how dare you ask what's wrong?" Shen Qianhe had a fiery temper and kicked Gong Er hard in the shoulder.

Gong Er did not expect Shen Qianhe to be violent towards her. She stumbled and fell to the ground, but Gong Er quickly got up and knelt in front of Shen Qianhe.

"Mr. Shen, I think it would be better to ask more questions!" Jiang Ling quickly interjected to stop him.

Although this was Shen Qianhe's family matter and Jiang Ling shouldn't have interfered, it was still wrong to resort to violence, especially since Shen Qianhe's impulsive nature had probably offended many people.

Jiang Ling gradually understood why the enormous Shen Mansion was controlled by Shen Congxin's stepmother; Shen Qianhe's mind was both impulsive and simple.

"Hmm, that makes sense! Alright, Gong Er, let me ask you, why didn't you give me the letter Miss wrote to me?" Shen Qianhe glared angrily at Gong Er and scolded him.

"I...I..." Gong Er trembled all over when asked the question, and his face instantly turned pale. He stammered and his eyes darted around, which was a sign of his guilt.

Shen Qianhe was already furious, and seeing Gong Er's current state, he seemed to understand a bit more. His fists clenched so tightly that they cracked, and his knuckles gradually turned white. At this moment, his entire body exuded a frightening aura.

"Master... please have mercy! It's not that I don't want to... it's... it's..." Gong Er bit her lip again, looking very troubled.

"Damn it, you dare to lay a finger on my precious daughter? Guards, throw Gong Er away!" Shen Qianhe's anger reached its peak, and he cursed as he kicked Gong Er hard again.

The other servants rushed in as soon as they heard Shen Qianhe's voice, grabbed Gong Er, and were about to take her away.

"Mr. Shen, I don't think you can abandon Gong Er now!"

Seeing Gong Er's actions just now, Jiang Ling guessed that this matter must be related to Gong Er. However, if Gong Er were thrown down directly, it would be in line with the idea of ​​the mastermind behind the scenes. Thinking of this, Jiang Ling reached out to stop her.

Shen Qianhe's gaze fell on Jiang Ling. He narrowed his eyes and looked her up and down several times before gritting his teeth and saying, "Could it be that this matter has something to do with you?"

Jiang Ling was stunned. She looked at Shen Qianhe in front of her speechlessly, rubbed her temples, and said to Shen Qianhe, "Mr. Shen, do you think I'm crazy? Walking into a trap?"
