There was something in his eyes.
Lu's mother also wanted to go out, but Shen Qingtang stopped her.
Shen Qingtang's mental strength has improved considerably due to the merits she accumulated in the past, and she can now even briefly control people's actions.
She used her mental power to lock onto Lu's mother and Wang Huai'an, who was not far away. The two of them were instantly frozen in place and unable to move.
"Shen Qingtang, what are you trying to do?" Lu's mother shouted in terror.
Shen Qingtang ignored her and used her spatial abilities to instantly teleport outside the inn. Her speed was extremely fast.
In the blink of an eye, they appeared in a corner of the inn's backyard.
As soon as they stood firm, they heard the Second Prince and Liang Wanwan talking not far away.
Hiding in a corner, Shen Qingtang overheard their conversation, which deepened her suspicions. It seemed that this Ninth Princess was not as simple as she appeared on the surface, and there must be some secret hidden between her and the Second Prince.
Shen Qingtang concealed herself and approached silently. Her senses, nourished by merit, had become exceptionally sharp, and she clearly captured the conversation between the brother and sister.
"Brother, what are you waiting for?" Liang Wanwan's voice was tinged with impatience, completely devoid of her previous gentleness, and even revealed a ruthlessness that did not match her delicate appearance.
Hearing this, Shen Qingtang was filled with doubt. She could clearly sense that Liang Wanwan was exuding an unfamiliar aura at this moment.
It was a dark energy mixed with resentment and greed, completely different from the timid little girl she remembered who needed protection.
A vague memory suddenly flashed through her mind.
At that time, Liang Wanwan was a princess forgotten in the cold palace. Her birth mother died early, and she suffered all kinds of bullying.
It's something that everyone can step on.
It was she, Shen Qingtang, who discovered her by chance, felt sorry for her, and often secretly brought her food and supplies, taught her to read and write, and even stood up to protect her when she was bullied by other princes and princesses.
From that point on, Liang Wanwan's fate began to turn around.
She was first remembered by the old emperor by chance, and then by another "chance" opportunity.
She shielded the old emperor from an "accidental" disaster, and from then on, she gained his complete favor, gradually rising from the cold palace to the center of power, becoming the old emperor's most beloved ninth princess.
Almost simultaneously, Shen Qingtang's luck began to plummet.
The family, which had been living a smooth and successful life, has been plagued by a series of misfortunes.
At the time, she simply attributed it to bad luck and never doubted anyone.
But now that I think about it, it all seems too coincidental!
How could a princess who had wasted more than a decade in the cold palace suddenly have her fortunes turn around?
And how could her family have fallen so completely in such a short period of time?
A terrible thought arose in her mind.
