Chapter 185
That night, none of the Shen family members could sleep a wink.
Before dawn, Shen Qingnian called in Granny Chen and Granny Zhao, returned their indentures, and gave each of them fifty taels of silver.
"Thank you both for taking care of me these past three years. Now my family is in dire straits, so please leave," she said, handing over the indenture and the money.
Granny Chen looked worried and couldn't help but ask, "Master Shen, Granny Zhao and I are leaving. What will you do from now on?"
The people who broke into the house tonight were clearly not ordinary people, judging from their appearance alone, not to mention the man in black who looked like the young lady.
Although the two old women did not hear Shen Qing mention how others addressed Song Xuan, they understood in their hearts that he was no ordinary person and could not be provoked by commoners.
Shen Qingnian shook her head and only instructed, "After you leave, do not mention the events of the past three years. That young master wields great power, and only you yourselves can protect you."
As you saw tonight, he has no affection for me, only resentment and dissatisfaction. Please remember this, you two old women.
Upon hearing this, Granny Chen and Granny Zhao nodded repeatedly. They accepted the indenture and the money, packed their bags, and left the Shen residence that very night.
The guards who were standing in the shadows did not stop them. Song Xuan only asked them to watch Shen Qingnian, and did not ask them to watch the old woman as well.
Shen Qingnian watched the two old women leave from the doorway. A gentle night breeze stirred, and white jasmine blossoms drifted in the wind.
She looked in the direction from which the white jasmine blossoms had drifted. The two large jasmine trees were full of green, but all the jasmine flowers had fallen to the ground, clearly picked intentionally...
It goes without saying who it is.

That night, Song Xuan led his men to Jiang Zhenghe's residence and caught Jiang Zhenghe red-handed as he attempted to commit an act of misconduct.
Jiang Zhenghe kept fourteen-year-old girls in his mansion. He ordered these girls to wear light gauze and jasmine flowers in their hair, and to hold grand sacrificial ceremonies in the mansion.
Song Xuan was already in a gloomy mood tonight. When he saw Jiang Zhenghe pressing the woman wearing the jasmine-patterned hat onto the bed, he drew his long sword and swiftly slit Jiang Zhenghe's throat.
Jin Yi, who was standing beside him, felt a chill run down her spine.
His Majesty's eyes were terrifyingly sinister. It was also Jiang Zhenghe's bad luck that he could have lived a few more days, but he chose to do such a disgusting thing tonight.
Song Xuan not only slit Jiang Zhenghe's throat, but also beheaded all the so-called Taoist priests kept in Jiang's mansion.
These Taoist priests casually uttered a single sentence, which led Jiang Zhenghe to arrest dozens of innocent women.
He deserves to die!
Song Xuan held his blood-dripping longsword, staring at the corpse lying on the ground with an extremely gloomy expression, a faint bloodlust flickering in his eyes.
The next moment, he collapsed to the ground, his vision filled with blood, and his head throbbed with pain.
Jin Yi's exclamation rang out.
His Majesty seems to be having an episode!
Song Xuan's inner emotions were not as cold and calm as they appeared on the surface; he forcibly suppressed them.
Upon seeing the woman in the Jiang residence wearing jasmine flowers in her hair, his emotions erupted, and he naturally fell ill.
Jin Yi dared not bring Song Xuan back to the inn, fearing it would frighten Xiao Yanqing, so she found a clean room in the Jiang residence and brought Song Xuan inside.
Song Xuan's illness did not last long, and he soon fell into a deep sleep.
As he was about to fall asleep, he recalled the words of the divine physician: "A heart ailment requires a heart remedy. In the past, his illness was severe because the physician had passed away, and there was no cure."
Now, he is the one being betrayed by his beloved, and that medicine must be used for his own purposes!
His obsessive and stubborn emotions gradually enveloped him...
