Tu Suyuwei's expression changed slightly. She knew the seriousness of the matter. She held Qin Wenyuan's hand tightly and asked softly, "Then...what should we do?"

Qin Wenyuan took a deep breath, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes: "I must find out the identities of those people and stop their plans. However, it involves too much, so I can't act easily."

Tu Su Yuwei nodded gently, her eyes full of understanding and support: "Wen Yuan, I will do my best to help you. We can start with the ministers in the court to see if there are any clues."

Qin Wenyuan smiled slightly, and he looked at Tu Su Yuwei gratefully: "Yuwei, I am really relieved to have you by my side."

During a secret meeting, Qin Wenyuan and Tu Su Yuwei unexpectedly discovered that the mastermind behind all this was the person they trusted the most - Qin Wenyuan's confidant Li Mubai.

"Wenyuan, I..." Li Mubai knelt down in front of Qin Wenyuan, his face full of regret.

Qin Wenyuan looked at Li Mubai coldly, his heart filled with anger and disappointment: "Li Mubai, why did you do this?"

Li Mubai lowered his head, his voice filled with pleading: "Wenyuan, I... I had no choice. My family was controlled by them, and I had to do what they asked."

Qin Wenyuan was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Li Mubai, get up. I won't blame you for this matter. But you must promise me that from now on, you will never betray me again."

Li Mubai raised his head, his eyes full of gratitude: "Wenyuan, I am willing to do anything for you."

Qin Wenyuan frowned slightly and said softly: "Yunrong, you seem a little different today, are you worried about something?"

Sheng Yunrong raised her head slightly, her eyes met Qin Wenyuan's. She tried her best to conceal her emotions and said softly, "Wenyuan, I do have something I want to discuss with you."

Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly, motioning for her to continue.

Sheng Yunrong said slowly: "Our border has been frequently invaded by foreign enemies recently, and the people are living in hardship. I want to organize an army and go to the border to provide support."

Qin Wenyuan's face changed slightly when he heard this. He didn't expect Sheng Yunrong to make such a request. He was silent for a moment and said, "Yunrong, do you know what this means? It's a life-and-death battle. How can a woman like you bear it?"

Sheng Yunrong's eyes flashed with determination, and she said, "I know the cruelty of this war, but I can't let the people on the border suffer. Although I am a woman, I also have the responsibility to defend my country."

Qin Wenyuan looked at Sheng Yunrong and couldn't help but think of the scene when they got married. At that time, Sheng Yunrong was still an innocent girl, but now, she has become so strong. A complex emotion surged in his heart, both admiration and worry.

At this time, Qin Wenyuan's personal bodyguard Zhao Tieshan came in. When he saw Sheng Yunrong, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Qin Wenyuan saw this and said, "Tieshan, come here and meet Miss Sheng."

Zhao Tieshan bowed and said, "Miss Sheng."

Sheng Yunrong nodded slightly, but her eyes were always on Qin Wenyuan.

Qin Wenyuan said: "Tieshan, Miss Sheng wants to organize an army to go to the border, what do you think?"

Zhao Tieshan frowned slightly and said, "Miss Sheng is courageous, but this war is of great importance. It is indeed difficult for a woman like her to handle it."

Sheng Yunrong's face changed slightly when she heard this. Zhao Tieshan was telling the truth, but she had an unspeakable determination in her heart.

Qin Wenyuan couldn't help but feel a little irritated when he saw this. He stood up, walked to the window, looked at an old tree outside the window, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Yunrong, I understand your intention, but I can't let you take risks. Our country has enough troops to deal with this war, you don't have to worry."

Sheng Yunrong's eyes flashed with disappointment, but she still said firmly: "Wenyuan, I know you are doing this for my own good, but I can't watch the people in the border areas suffer. Even if I can't go to the battlefield myself, I will do my best to do something for the people in the border areas."

Qin Wenyuan turned around and looked at Sheng Yunrong, with a complex emotion in his eyes. He gently held her hand and said, "Yunrong, I understand your intention. In this case, I will accompany you to the border and do my part for the people there."

Sheng Yunrong's eyes flashed with surprise. She held Qin Wenyuan's hand tightly and said, "Wenyuan, is it true? Are you willing to accompany me to the border?"

Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I am willing to accompany you to the border. But before that, I have to solve one thing first."

Sheng Yunrong frowned slightly and asked, "What's the matter?"

Qin Wenyuan looked at Zhao Tieshan and said, "Tieshan, go check and see if what Miss Sheng said about the border war is true."

Zhao Tieshan responded and turned to leave.

Sheng Yunrong looked at Qin Wenyuan with both anticipation and worry in her heart.

…

Sheng Yunrong clapped her hands, "Someone come here!" Her voice was crisp and full of command.

Immediately, a maid in green came out from behind the screen. She was Sheng Yunrong's personal maid Xiang Zhu. Xiang Zhu had a pretty face and a respectful look. She walked in front of Sheng Yunrong, bowed her head slightly, and said in a soft voice: "Miss, what can I do for you?"

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, with an unfathomable light in her eyes. She said softly: "Xiang Zhu, go tell father that I want to see him."

Xiang Zhu was startled. She raised her head with a look of surprise in her eyes: "Miss, is it inappropriate to disturb the master at this time?"

Sheng Yunrong's expression changed slightly, the smile in her eyes disappeared, replaced by a serious look. She looked at Xiang Zhu coldly, and her tone became stern: "Xiang Zhu, you are mine, you should understand that my words are orders, you only need to execute, no need to question."

Xiang Zhu was startled by Sheng Yunrong's tone. She immediately lowered her head and said in a trembling voice, "Yes, Miss, I'll go right away."

Looking at Xiang Zhu's leaving back, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Sheng Yunrong's eyes.

Although Xiang Zhu sometimes has her own ideas, she is ultimately a loyal maid.

After a while, Xiang Zhu came back. Her face was a little pale. She whispered to Sheng Yunrong, "Miss, the master is handling official business. He asked you to wait."

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly. This was a test from her father. She sat quietly in the chair, waiting.

After a while, Sheng Yunrong's father, Master Sheng, the owner of Sheng Mansion, came in. He looked a little tired, but his eyes were still sharp. He glanced at Sheng Yunrong, then sat on the chair opposite.

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly. Her father had accepted her challenge. She said softly, "Father, I have something to ask you."

Master Sheng was slightly stunned. He looked at Sheng Yunrong with a puzzled look in his eyes: "What is it that makes you so impatient?"

Sheng Yunrong took a deep breath. This was her chance, and she had to seize it. She looked at Master Sheng and said firmly, "Father, I want to know if I can take over the Sheng family's business."
