Fang Fei looked around and closed the door after hearing this, then she came forward and said mysteriously, "I wanted to tell you a long time ago, but unfortunately His Highness the Ninth Prince was here, so I didn't dare to come forward! After you left yesterday, the Second Miss changed into Shuanghua's clothes and followed you out!"

"Where did you go?"

Shen Ruyi was not particularly surprised.

In her previous life, it was three years later when she found out that Shen Jiaojiao was a fake. It was also at that time that she realized that Shen Jiaojiao was not simple and that she was definitely not one of the two people who appeared in the capital.

She has a backer behind her.

The common goal of this group of people is to destroy the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As for her, Shen Ruyi, she was just an appetizer.

But at that time, everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion sided with Shen Jiaojiao, turning a deaf ear to what she said, and finally became Shen Jiaojiao's accomplices in silencing her.

This time she won't be the scapegoat again.

If Shen Jiaojiao wants to destroy the Prime Minister's Mansion, then go ahead and do it.

They are willing to fight and be beaten together, and no one can stop them.

However, if you think about it carefully, Shen Jiaojiao's visit to Beijing and her attempt to commit fraud at the Prime Minister's residence is not as simple as it seems.

A midwife, with a prostitute, dared to claim herself to be the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. It is hard to make sense if there is no one behind the scenes planning. After all, it will be exposed if you investigate carefully.

Since they are not afraid of being exposed, it means they have already laid the groundwork and arranged everything properly and are not afraid of being investigated.

So, could the person who helps them deal with all this be the person Shen Jiaojiao is going to meet today?

Fang Fei said, "She went to Yingchun Tower and met a singer named Song Ying'er, but there was an old woman in Song Ying'er's room. She seemed to be the midwife who sent the second young lady here a year ago. She was apparently working as a helper in a steamed bun shop, but she appeared in a place where men seek pleasure. It felt very strange."

"It's really strange," Shen Ruyi asked, "Is there anyone else?"

If someone could help Shen Jiaojiao to handle such a big scheme, it couldn't be just one singing girl from a brothel.

Fang Fei thought for a moment and said, "If there is any, it was that a young man came in later. I vaguely heard Song Ying'er calling out 'Third Prince' by the window..."

At this point, the little girl was surprised and asked, "Miss, could it be that Miss Two also knows the Third Prince?"

"That's right."

Shen Ruyi took a deep breath and gradually figured out some things.

The Shen family of the Prime Minister's Mansion is a descendant of the Second Prince. Since the Crown Prince has no support, as long as he dies unexpectedly, the Second Prince can ascend to the throne. And if the Third Prince wants to climb to that position, the one he needs to get rid of the most is not the Crown Prince but the Second Prince.

Then, destroying the Shen family is like cutting off one of the second prince's arms.

It was only natural for the Third Prince to bring Shen Jiaojiao in and stir up trouble in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Shen Ruyi thought about this and asked Fang Fei, "Did you hear what they said?"

Fang Fei shook her head. "No, they spoke in low voices. I am a woman, so it was not right for me to enter the brothel. I was quickly kicked out. I got away with it by saying I was looking for my fiancé. Otherwise, I would have been arrested."

Then, she said apologetically, "Miss, did this servant miss any very important information?"

"No, you're already great."

Shen Ruyi smiled and comforted her, "I didn't expect that our Fangfei has grown up and can get along with such a smart idea and get in from that kind of place."

"whee……"

Fangfei laughed when she was praised.

Shen Ruyi also smiled at her, "I'm a little tired, I'll sleep for a while, I still need you to keep an eye on the outside."

"I will go right away, you can rest assured, young lady."

Fang Fei was happy and closed the door and left.

Shen Ruyi lay on the bed, staring at the dilapidated ceiling, thinking about Shen Jiaojiao's matter and wondering what her reaction would be next.

Soon, Shen Luo's voice came from outside, "Is Ruyi in there?"

"I'm here, but I've fallen asleep. Please don't disturb me, Third Young Master." The person who spoke was Han Jiang, who was standing outside the gate.

Shen Luo stared at him with an ugly expression.

This is the Prime Minister’s Residence.

However, Han Jiang was the Ninth Prince's subordinate. Even though he was the Prime Minister's son, he had to restrain himself a little. In the end, he could only say, "I just went to see if she was feeling better."

Shen Luo's voice was a little hoarse.

Last night, he was worried about Shen Ruyi and Shen Xiao's injuries and did not sleep all night.

I just brought some golden wound medicine, but I didn't expect to be stopped by Han Jiang.

He had very complicated feelings towards his sister inside. "Besides, this is my home, Ruyi is my sister, and you have no reason to stop me from going to see her."

Han Jiang really had no reason to stop him.

So he said, "You can go in, but you can't go in alone. I'll go with you."

"you--"

Shen Luo glared angrily, "What do you mean?"

Being on guard against him is like being on guard against a thief, which makes people infuriated.

"It's nothing, it's just that the Fourth Master Shen drew his sword against her just now, so I don't trust the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion very much." Han Jiang remained calm and refused to give in.

Shen Luo's face turned red.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think I'm that idiot, Old Four?"

Han Jiang said nothing.

Not saying anything is tantamount to acknowledging that he and Shen Xiao are the same.

Shen Luo felt bad when he thought about how he had framed Shen Ruyi at Guangwenguan and forced her to apologize to Shen Jiaojiao.

Thinking of what Shen Yu said last night, he suspected that Shen Ruyi was not the biological daughter of the Shen family. He was confused for a moment and finally said, "I'll go in and see her."

Let’s see if she is her biological daughter.

Shen Ruyi heard the noise and said, "Let him in."

Han Jiang made way to let Shen Luo pass, but then he followed.

Shen Luo felt bad because he was being guarded like a thief in his own home. When he entered, his face looked a little grim. He stared at Shen Ruyi and asked, "How is your injury?"

As he said this, he placed the golden wound medicine on her bedside and said, "Old Four is a moron. If he wasn't dying soon, I would have beaten him to death."

"Why did you come to see me?"

Shen Ruyi didn't want to have any relationship with him.

Her emotions had long been exhausted by the things she had experienced in her past and present lives, and she just wanted to endure these days and then leave this place.

Shen Luo's eyes fell on her face.

Shen Ruyi had a round face, regular features, and a kind of majestic beauty. Even though she was seriously injured and bleeding, she still looked like a blooming white peony.

Indeed, among the women of the Shen family, none is so pretty.

She is somewhat similar to her mother, but nothing like her father or her brothers.

If she wasn't from the Shen family...

Shen Luo frowned and finally said, "Nothing, just came to see you."

After a pause, he continued, "Your wedding date is seven days from now. Tell me if you need anything."

After all, she is the sister who grew up together.

Regardless of whether she was his biological daughter or not, he still wanted to make amends, wanted her to forgive him, and go back to the way they used to be.

"No."

Shen Ruyi interrupted his thoughts.

She would never marry Gu Qinghua, so why would she need to prepare anything?
