After resolving the trouble, Shen Ning managed to have a relatively peaceful night, but her mood soured again the next morning.
Shen Shu is back.
Although she was stopped at the door, it didn't stop her from making things difficult for Shen Ning.
Before she could even go to find her, Shen Shu arrived first.
Shen Ning called Mo Lin over: "Did you arrange for someone to keep an eye on the Wei family? How did Shen Shu get back?"
Mo Lin actually knows this.
"Five days ago, she was abandoned at the Wei family's doorstep and left like that. The Wei family didn't say anything for some reason, but they also seemed to ignore her."
"These past few days, Censor Wei has been moving around frequently, as if he has some plans. Ten days ago, the mother of Censor-in-Chief Lu died, and he was suspended from his post to send his mother's body back to his hometown. I wonder if Censor Wei is involved in this matter."
Mo Lin's knowledge was limited, but he would tell Shen Ning everything he knew so that she could integrate and extract the information she needed.
Shen Ning recalled that such a thing did happen in her previous life.
The Imperial Censor's mother died, and he returned to his hometown to observe mourning. Although this vacancy was temporary, and the emperor had asked him to stay, it meant that Lord Lu only needed to stay home for thirty-six days before returning to his post.
But those thirty-six days were enough for the pack of predatory jackals to revel in.
They've been wanting to climb the ladder for far too long, and now that they finally have the chance, they're determined to turn the impossible into the possible.
In his previous life, Lord Lu did not return because his mother's coffin-carrying pole broke, and the coffin fell down and crushed one of his legs.
A broken leg doesn't mean one can't be an official, but it's unknown when one will recover. Therefore, the position of Imperial Censor needs to be filled by an official.
Wei Changgeng is a competitor, and a very advantageous one at that, and the reason for this is, of course, because of Shen Shu.
Wei Congwen refused to marry Shen Shu and devoted himself to her, doing anything for her willingly. Shen Shu naturally reciprocated by asking Han Yin for help for the sake of the Wei family, ultimately securing Han Yin's support for Wei Changgeng by staying in bed for three days and three nights.
As for why Shen Ning knew about the three days and three nights, it was because after Wei Changgeng's defeat, Shen Shu scolded Han Yin for breaking his promise and revealed it herself.
Yes, even with the Han family's help, Wei Changgeng still failed. But Shen Shu's 'efforts' were not without reward. After all, the Han family later helped Wei Congwen enter the court, and he was promoted to the fifth rank immediately, and within two years he had climbed to the fourth rank.
It was quite a prestigious position for a father and son to serve as officials in the same court.
It's laughable that no one knew that Wei Congwen's beloved woman had exchanged her body for it.
Shen Ning felt that few people besides herself could truly accept such an absurd thing, but Wei Congwen and Shen Shu thought it was love.
A love that flows in both directions, where one gives everything for their beloved.
Yue~~~~
That's utterly absurd.
Fortunately, things have changed in this life, and she shouldn't have to watch such disgusting and repulsive dramas anymore.
Wei Congwen and Shen Shu became an unhappy couple, and Shen Shu took the initiative to go to Han Yin, but was turned away.
Tsk, it's true what they say: what you pay for is worthless, and what you get won't be appreciated.
Shen Ning didn't want to see Shen Shu. She wanted to beat her to death, but she couldn't now, so she decided not to see her. Cursing was too exhausting, and based on experience, she would always be the one who ended up vomiting blood from anger.
It wasn't that she couldn't win the argument, but the main problem was that Shen Shu could cry, make a scene, and turn the tables on her, then act like she had suffered a great injustice. This tactic was her weakness, and no matter how well she acted, she couldn't pull it off.
In conclusion, it's best not to see it.
Then a servant came in and reported some unbelievable news: "Young Miss, a man claiming to be the young master of the Han family has come to pay his respects."
Shen Ning: "???"
"who?"
Servant: "He said he was the young master of the Han family, named Han Yin."
Shen Ning was even more confused: "Is Shen Shu still at the door?"
And wasn't Han Yin arrested? How come he's out so quickly?
Servant: "The second young lady is still here. The two of them are standing together at the door. It seems that the second young lady is arguing with that young master Han."
Shen Ning: "O-0?......"
Could it be that they forcibly continued their predestined relationship from a past life?
In their past lives, the two of them liked to appear in front of Shen Ning one after the other. Shen Ning brought Shen Shu back and advised her to love herself. Shen Shu said that they were true love and then complained that Shen Ning couldn't stand to see her doing well. Then Han Yin came after them, acting as if he was supporting his woman and asserting his dominance in front of Shen Ning.
Of course, Shen Ning still got scolded at this time, accused of breaking up a loving couple.
If Shen Shu comes back on her own, it's probably because the two of them had a fight. Shen Shu comes back crying and complaining about how badly Han Yin treated her, how much she suffered, how heartbroken she was, and how Shen Ning didn't support her. She also says that Han Yin will soon come after her. After a few words of coaxing, Shen Shu will lose her mind and eagerly go back with him, saying that it's her fate.
Just thinking about it makes Chen Ning feel suffocated.
These two are a crazy couple.
"I won't see you. Just say my injury has relapsed, I won't see you!"
Shen Ning decided to keep the door tightly shut, refuse to see anyone, and never get involved in the affairs of these two lunatics again.
However, Han Yin was not only mad, but also possessed considerable strength.
After being refused entry, he took advantage of the doorman's inattention and kicked the door open, then started fighting with Mo Lin.
Liu Ying rushed in, flustered: "Young Miss, Mo Lin is fighting with someone, and they've got knives."
Shen Ning gritted her teeth in anger. Was she destined to be plagued by these two jinxes?
I don't want to see anyone, so now I can only put on my cloak and have Firefly help me walk out. There's no other way; everyone says my injury has relapsed, and I can't walk as fast as I can.
"Clang clang clang!"
The sound of swords clashing was so loud it made your teeth ache.
Han Yin's martial arts skills are not bad, but Mo Lin is not bad either. Moreover, Mo Lin is strong and has a beast-like explosive power. Han Yin will not be able to defeat him for a while.
Then, amidst the commotion, there were also pleading words from a woman: "Stop fighting! Please stop fighting!"
Upon hearing that voice, Shen Ning's vision blurred. She quickly walked over and saw Han Yin's men preparing to attack Mo Lin.
"Stop it, all of you!"
She looked around and casually picked up some pebbles from a nearby flowerpot and threw them over.
A handful of pebbles were thrown indiscriminately at the two of them. Realizing that Shen Ning had appeared, the two did not continue to entangle themselves. They each took a step back and stood in a confrontational posture.
Shen Ning first looked at Mo Lin and saw that he was somewhat disheveled, but there was no blood on him, so it seemed that he hadn't been hurt. She breathed a sigh of relief and said coldly, "Get down."
Mo Lin glanced at her worriedly, but upon meeting the cold light in Shen Ning's eyes, he quickly left with his knife.
Han Yin realized that Shen Ning wanted to protect that guard, fearing that he would abuse his power.
She's a really smart woman.
"Seeing is believing, Miss Shen is truly a wonderful experience."
Shen Ning, still leaning on Liu Ying for support, appeared frail and weak, but her expression was cold and resolute: "Young Master Han, what are you trying to do? Break into a private residence and commit murder?"
