Sheng Hongxiao saw that Pei Jinxiao and his sister were getting along well, and he couldn't help but feel a little curious. He turned back to Sheng Yunrong and whispered, "Sister, you are discussing family precepts with Master Pei, but do you know that there is something I don't understand about you, my second brother?"

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly: "Second brother, please ask."

A trace of seriousness flashed across Sheng Hongxiao's eyes: "How do we fulfill the word 'faith' in our family motto?"

Sheng Yunrong pondered for a moment and said, "'Faith' means honesty. We should be honest with our family members, keep our promises to our friends, and be loyal to our country. In short, facing everything in the world with an honest heart is 'faith'."

A trace of approval flashed in Sheng Hongxiao's eyes, and he nodded gently: "My sister's answer has benefited me a lot."

…

Sheng Hongxiao followed behind her, brows furrowed, still troubled by the words just spoken.

"Second brother, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?" Sheng Yunrong asked with concern, worry in her eyes.

Sheng Hongxiao forced a smile, trying to hide his unhappiness: "It's okay, just a little tired."

As they were talking, the two came to a corner of the garden, where there was an exquisite pavilion. In the pavilion sat a handsome man, none other than Jing Wang Pei Jinxiao. He was wearing a dragon-patterned brocade robe, with an indifferent expression, but there was a subtle sharpness in his eyes.

When Sheng Yunrong saw Pei Jinxiao, her smile became even brighter, and she walked quickly towards the pavilion: "Prince Jing, you've come just in time, so we can enjoy the flowers together."

Sheng Hongxiao followed closely behind, and the conflict in his heart became stronger and stronger. He looked at Pei Jinxiao and couldn't help but think of Sheng Yunrong's marriage to him and the struggle in his heart.

Pei Jinxiao smiled slightly, his eyes moving between Sheng Yunrong and Sheng Hongxiao: "Miss Sheng, Mr. Sheng, I have heard of your great names for a long time. After meeting you today, I can see that they are indeed worthy of your reputation."

Sheng Yunrong blushed and said softly, "Prince Jing, thank you for your praise. Second brother, come and sit down too."

Sheng Hongxiao hesitated for a moment, but still walked over, feeling more and more uneasy.

The three of them sat down, and Sheng Yunrong smiled and said to Pei Jinxiao: "Prince Jing, what do you think of the flowers in this garden?"

Pei Jinxiao smiled calmly: "The flowers are naturally beautiful, but the most beautiful thing is Miss Sheng's smile."

Sheng Yunrong's cheeks became even redder, but she was secretly alert in her heart, because she knew that Pei Jinxiao's words were not just a compliment.

Sheng Hongxiao felt more and more depressed, and he couldn't help but ask, "Prince Jing, what are your plans for your marriage with Sheng Yunrong?"

Pei Jinxiao's eyes flashed, and he looked at Sheng Hongxiao: "Second Master Sheng, what do you mean by this?"

Sheng Hongxiao took a deep breath and mustered up his courage to say, "I heard that you have no true feelings for Sheng Yunrong, but only because of the power of the Sheng Mansion behind her. If that's the case, my Sheng family would rather give up this marriage than see my sister get hurt."

Sheng Yunrong's face changed. She didn't expect Sheng Hongxiao to say such words at this time. She looked at Pei Jinxiao nervously, fearing that he would be angry.

Pei Jinxiao smiled. He looked at Sheng Hongxiao with a hint of admiration in his eyes. "Second Master Sheng, I understand your concerns. But I can assure you that I am sincere to Sheng Yunrong. As for the power of the Sheng Mansion, I can only say that this is my duty and I cannot ignore it."

Sheng Hongxiao frowned. He didn't completely believe what Pei Jinxiao said, but he couldn't ask any further.

Pei Jinxiao frowned and looked at Sheng Yunrong to find out what was going on.

Sheng Yunrong pursed her lips slightly, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes. She knew that this matter was very serious, but she was unwilling to hide it from Pei Jinxiao at this time. She slowly stood up, walked in front of Pei Jinxiao, gently took his hand, and said firmly: "Pei Lang, I must tell you, otherwise I will be uneasy."

Pei Jinxiao couldn't help but get nervous when he saw Sheng Yunrong was so serious. He held her hand tightly and nodded solemnly: "Yunrong, I know you won't speak without a purpose. I hope you can speak frankly."

Sheng Yunrong took a deep breath and said slowly: "Recently, I learned that someone in the Sheng Mansion was secretly colluding with the intention of framing my father and usurping the family property of the Sheng Mansion. If I hadn't discovered this conspiracy in time, I'm afraid the Sheng Mansion would have changed hands long ago."

Pei Jinxiao's face suddenly changed, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes: "They actually dared to attack the Sheng Mansion, they are looking for death! Yunrong, do you know who is behind all this?"

Sheng Yunrong shook her head and sighed, "I only know that this matter is related to a senior executive in the Sheng Mansion, but I need to investigate further who it is. Pei Lang, can you lend a hand and uncover this conspiracy together?"

Pei Jinxiao's eyes flashed with determination, and he gently patted Sheng Yunrong's hand: "Don't worry, I will definitely help you get to the bottom of it and make those people with ulterior motives pay the price."

As the two were talking, the housekeeper of the Sheng Mansion hurried in with a trace of anxiety on his face: "Miss, this is bad! The accounts of the Sheng Mansion have been tampered with, and the property in the warehouse has disappeared!"

Sheng Yunrong's pretty face turned cold, and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes: "How dare you do this in broad daylight! Pei Lang, let's go check the scene immediately."

The warehouse of Sheng Mansion was in a mess. Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao stood there side by side, looking at the messy account books with frowns on their faces.

Sheng Yunrong picked up an account book and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes: "Pei Lang, look here, there is something wrong with this account!"

Pei Jinxiao took the account book, looked at it carefully, nodded and said, "Yes, the figures on this account have been tampered with, and the method is extremely sophisticated, and it is difficult for ordinary people to detect."

A trace of doubt flashed across Sheng Yunrong's eyes: "Pei Lang, do you know who tampered with the accounts?"

Pei Jinxiao pondered for a moment and said, "I guess this person should be a senior executive of the Sheng Mansion. They know the financial situation of the Sheng Mansion very well, so they have the ability to tamper with the accounts. Moreover, they must have planned it in advance, otherwise it would not be so smooth."

Sheng Yunrong nodded, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes: "Pei Lang, we must find this person as soon as possible, otherwise the Sheng Mansion will be difficult to preserve. I have an idea, maybe we can find this traitor."

Pei Jinxiao's eyes flashed with curiosity: "Oh? What do you think? Tell me quickly."

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and said, "Why don't we try to lure the snake out of its hole? I will deliberately spread the news in the mansion that we already know the traitor who tampered with the accounts, but we haven't found the specific person yet. This way, the traitor will definitely be unable to hold back and reveal his true colors."

Pei Jinxiao's eyes flashed with appreciation, and he nodded and said, "Good idea! Let's do it this way."

Sheng Yunrong looked at Pei Jinxiao, a trace of gratitude flashing in her eyes: "Pei Lang, thank you for helping me solve the crisis of Sheng Mansion. If it weren't for you, Sheng Mansion would have changed hands long ago."

Pei Jinxiao smiled gently, his eyes full of tenderness: "Silly boy, how can I watch you fall into trouble? Sheng Mansion is your home, and it is also my home. I will do my best to protect it."
