Having suffered enough in her past life, Shen Ning kept an eye on Wei Congwen and Shen Shu's movements even though they weren't around. It was just a matter of spending some money.
So it's incredibly easy for Shen Ning to find out anything he wants now.
Shen Shu is doing fine, just like in her previous life, she is still pampered by Han Yin. Perhaps because she has no one to back her up in this life, she doesn't quarrel with Han Yin and follows him wholeheartedly.
Wei Congwen went to see Shen Shu several times, but was driven away by the heartbroken Shen Shu each time. Then Wei Congwen got involved with Liang Zhuo.
Without the Han family's help, Wei Congwen somehow ended up as a registrar, a low-ranking official of the sixth grade. Although it was a low rank, it was still an official position, and he even got a job in the Ministry of Revenue.
Not only did he become an official himself, but he also introduced Liang Zhuo to the Imperial Guard camp, where he immersed himself in training.
In their past lives, the two joined forces for Shen Shu, and in this life, they are still able to come together. Their love is so strong that it is truly touching.
Liang Zhuo's situation is not important yet. The most important thing to pay attention to right now is Wei Congwen. Shen Ning carefully analyzed the information and couldn't figure out which connection he had made.
In his previous life, the one who ascended the throne was the sixth prince, Li Zhan, born to Consort Han. If Wei Congwen wanted to gain merit for supporting the emperor, he would definitely have to get on Li Zhan's side. However, given his current status, the sixth prince would certainly not pay him any attention.
The sixth prince's maternal family is the Han family. He himself has no power and relies entirely on the Han family to win him over.
Although Wei Congwen has memories of his previous life, given how badly the two have fallen out in this life, would he still join forces with Han Yin?
Could Han Yin be so generous as to pave the way for Shen Shu's ex-husband?
Because of his feelings in his past life, Wei Congwen forgives the mistakes of this life and decides to become Shen Shu's supporter.
If that's really the case, Shen Ning can only say he admires it.
Shen Ning wasn't really involved in the power struggle; there were many things she couldn't get involved in, so she left these matters to professionals, such as Qin Zhuo.
She wanted him to send someone to keep an eye on Wei Congwen, as she wanted to know who he met and what they talked about.
As for Liang Zhuo... Shen Ning could only laugh.
She hadn't found an opportunity to deal with him yet, but he had already found a good spot to wait for the attack.
The Imperial Guard training camp? Isn't that just asking for a beating?
Shen Ning had no power to interfere with the Imperial Guards, but the Imperial Guards were also human beings. Money can make the devil turn the millstone, let alone just drive people around.
Shen Ning wouldn't come forward herself; instead, she had He Xiao, who was in charge of running errands for her, find a beggar to deliver the message to two people training in the Imperial Guard camp.
She didn't intend to kill Liang Zhuo immediately, but rather to have people find ways to beat him up, preventing him from becoming powerful or withdrawing from the fight—in short, keeping him constantly beaten.
In his past life, he beat up Sister Liuying for many years, and died quickly. But in this life, things won't be so easy; she'll torture him slowly.
However, Shen Ning underestimated Liang Zhuo's abilities; he only lasted three days before being beaten and carried back.
Those people were despicable. They gave Liang Zhuo a laxative before putting him on the stage. Liang Zhuo was powerless to resist. Not only was he beaten, but he also suffered severe diarrhea, which was extremely humiliating.
Shen Ning couldn't stop laughing after reading it; it was so sarcastic.
Shen Ning had seen enough of the jokes, and then she received news that Wei Congwen had gone to visit Liang Zhuo, and after Liang Zhuo felt a little better, Wei Congwen even invited him out.
Shen Ning wanted to go out, but Liu Ying and Yu Zhu tried their best to stop her.
"Miss, you've just been attacked. Those assassins might still be waiting somewhere. If you don't go out, wouldn't that be playing right into their hands?"
Shen Ning: "According to you, does that mean I should never go out again?"
Liu Ying: "That's not true, but it would be best for Miss to lay low for a while."
Shen Ning: "Those people want to kill me, and they won't stop just because I've been hiding for a few days."
Yu Zhu: "That's better than going out now and giving them a chance."
Green Plum and Purple Beauty stepped forward: "We will escort Miss out, and take Mo Lin and Yun Gui with us."
Yun Gui was sent by Qin Zhuo. He was highly skilled in martial arts, taciturn, and had an even lower profile than Mo Lin. Green Plum told her that Yun Gui was highly skilled in martial arts and no less than Qin Zhuo.
Shen Ning chuckled. She felt she didn't need so many martial arts experts to protect her, because the assassin couldn't possibly come to kill her again and again. However, if she didn't bring them, she probably wouldn't be able to leave the house today.
However, today was probably not a good day to go out. Shen Ning had only gone a short distance when her carriage almost collided with someone.
Mo Lin reacted quickly and pulled on the reins, but Shen Ning didn't know that. She bumped into the carriage wall and winced in pain.
Before she could even ask what had happened, the other side started cursing.
"Whose carriage is this? Don't you have eyes? The young mistress of the Han family is sitting here. Why don't you get your master out here to apologize?"
She's just the young mistress of the Han family, yet she's so arrogant. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was a princess sitting inside.
Knowing who the other party was, Green Plum instantly gained momentum, lifted the curtain, and stepped out: "So what if she's the young mistress of the Han family? Does this road belong to the Han family? You've been running around like crazy and almost bumped into us, and you still think you're right? We haven't even settled accounts with you for bumping into my young lady's head, and you want my young lady to apologize? Why don't we go to Shuntian Prefecture and settle this matter?"
When the maidservant saw that the young mistress of Han was not afraid at all when she mentioned her, she assumed that this person must be someone important. She quickly went back to Xiao Ruyi in the carriage to report: "Young mistress, what should we do now?"
"idiot!"
Xiao Ruyi glared angrily at the maid, who was shouting nonsense without even understanding anything, only causing her trouble.
She completely ignored the fact that she hadn't spoken up to stop it either.
Xiao Ruyi lifted the curtain and glanced at the other party's carriage. She couldn't tell its grade, but it wasn't particularly luxurious either. She made up her mind and spoke more politely, but not much better: "May I ask which family's young lady you are? Would you please come out so that I may see you?"
It's a tone used when summoning any cat or dog.
Shen Ning slightly lifted the curtain: "Shen Ning of the Shen family, what advice does Madam Han have for me?"
"Shen Ning?" Xiao Ruyi jumped up instantly, looking at her with a murderous expression: "You're Shen Shu's sister?"
Shen Ning did not want to acknowledge this identity.
"This isn't the place to talk. How about I invite Mrs. Han for a cup of tea?"
Xiao Ruyi was furious, but she also knew that Shen Ning had broken off relations with Shen Shu, so she didn't direct her anger at Shen Ning.
"good."
The two entered the teahouse and sat down one after the other. Before the tea was even served, Xiao Ruyi said directly, "Chen Shu is pregnant."
Shen Ning raised her eyes slightly. Although she had only just found out, she was not surprised at all: "I have already severed ties with Shen Shu and expelled her from the family register. What do these things have to do with me?"
Xiao Ruyi: "You don't seem surprised at all?"
Shen Ning: "I have nothing to do with the life or death of unrelated people, let alone the fact that she is carrying an illegitimate child?"
The word "bastard" made Xiao Ruyi's expression soften a bit, but the child was now a thorn in her side, causing her constant torment, even if it meant her death.
