Sheng Yunrong found a passage from the book and handed it to Pei Jinxiao.

Pei Jinxiao took the book and read the record carefully, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Yunrong, you are so smart! This method is indeed feasible."

On the other side, Sheng Hongye also woke up slowly.

When Sheng Yunrong heard the voice, she quickly got up and went to Sheng Hongye's bed with a glass of water: "Brother, you're awake."

Sheng Hongye slowly opened his eyes, a trace of confusion flashed across his eyes, but he soon regained his clarity. He smiled slightly and tried to sit up, but felt weak. Sheng Yunrong quickly put down the cup in her hand and gently supported his shoulders.

"Brother, you just woke up, don't force yourself." Sheng Yunrong said with concern, deep worry in her eyes.

Sheng Hongye patted her hand gently, signaling her not to worry: "I'm fine, just a little tired. Thank you, sister."

Sheng Yunrong nodded, picked up the water cup and handed it to Sheng Hongye. He took the cup, took a few sips, and then put it on the table beside the bed.

"Brother, you fainted just now and scared me." Sheng Yunrong's voice was trembling.

Sheng Hongye smiled slightly and said slowly: "I am indeed a little tired. It may be because I have been busy with work during this period and did not get enough rest. However, I am fine now."

Sheng Yunrong sighed softly: "Brother, you should pay more attention to your health. The affairs of the Sheng Mansion are important, but your health is the most important."

"By the way, sister, is there anything new happening in the Sheng Mansion recently?" Sheng Hongye changed the subject, trying to make Sheng Yunrong relax.

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and said, "Brother, you don't know yet, right? Recently, a woman named Liu'er came to the Sheng Mansion. She claimed to be a distant relative of the Sheng Mansion and wanted to seek refuge with us."

A trace of doubt flashed in Sheng Hongye's eyes: "Distant relative? How come I have never heard of it?"

Sheng Yunrong said, "Yes, I also feel a little strange. However, she behaved properly and was sincere, so I let her stay in the guest room for the time being. Brother, what do you think?"

Sheng Hongye pondered for a moment and said, "Since she is a distant relative, we should not be too indifferent. Let her live in Sheng Mansion, and we can slowly observe her character. However, sister, you must be more careful, so as not to let a wolf into the house."

Sheng Yunrong nodded: "I will, big brother. I will ask the servants to take strict precautions, and I will also personally observe her words and actions."

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the door, and Sheng Hongxiao, the second young master of Sheng Mansion, walked in. When he saw Sheng Hongye wake up, a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"Brother, you're awake! That's great!" Sheng Hongxiao said excitedly.

Sheng Hongye smiled and nodded: "Second brother, thank you for your concern. I'm fine."

Sheng Hongxiao walked to the bedside and asked with concern: "Brother, are you really okay? I was scared just now."

Sheng Hongye patted Sheng Hongxiao's shoulder gently: "Don't worry, I'll be fine. I just need a short rest."

Sheng Hongxiao nodded, then turned to Sheng Yunrong: "Sister, you have worked hard during this period. Now that big brother has woken up, you can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly: "Second brother, this is what I should do. As long as big brother is healthy, it is worth it no matter how hard I work."

In the evening, Sheng Hongye called Sheng Yunrong and Sheng Yunwen to the study. He looked at the two siblings and said seriously: "I investigated Liu'er's background and found that she is not a distant relative of our Sheng family. She is a woman of unknown origin and purpose."

Sheng Yunrong and Sheng Yunwen suddenly became nervous: "Brother, what should we do?"

Sheng Hongye pondered for a moment and said, "We can't do anything to her easily, so as not to alert the enemy. I will have people continue to investigate her background. At the same time, you two must always remain vigilant and don't let her take advantage of any opportunity."

Sheng Yunrong and Sheng Yunwen answered in unison: "Yes, big brother!"

…

"Yeah." Sheng Hongye nodded, and when he saw Sheng Hongxiao not far away, he felt relieved.

Seeing that her elder brother Sheng Hongye was relieved, Sheng Yunrong gently tugged at his sleeve and said with a smile: "Big brother, look, second brother is fine, we don't have to worry too much."

Sheng Hongye looked back at Sheng Yunrong, a hint of warmth flashed in his eyes, and he nodded and said, "Yes, Rong'er is right. However, my second brother seems to be worried during this period. We have to find a chance to have a good talk."

As they were talking, Sheng Hongxiao had already walked in front of them, with a tired look on his face, but his eyes were still firm. He looked at Sheng Hongye, smiled faintly, and said, "Big brother, Rong'er, you are here."

Sheng Yunrong hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern: "Second brother, are you okay? You seem to be very tired during this period."

Sheng Hongxiao shook his head gently and said, "It's okay, I'm just a little tired from the busy work. Thank you Rong'er for your concern."

Sheng Hongye frowned and said, "Second brother, if you have any unspeakable secrets, you might as well tell us. Perhaps we can help you share some of the burden."

Sheng Hongxiao was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "Actually, I have been investigating something recently, a secret of the Sheng Mansion."

Sheng Yunrong opened her eyes wide in surprise and asked, "Secret? What other secrets does the Sheng Mansion have that we don't know about?"

Sheng Hongxiao's expression turned serious, and he said, "This matter involves the safety of the Sheng Mansion, so I am so cautious. Big brother, Rong'er, do you still remember the fire in the Sheng Mansion when you were young?"

Sheng Hongye and Sheng Yunrong looked at each other and nodded. The fire almost burned down the entire Sheng Mansion. Fortunately, it was discovered in time and no greater damage was caused.

Sheng Hongxiao continued, "The fire was not an accident, but someone deliberately caused it. I suspect that person is inside our Sheng Mansion."

Sheng Yunrong's face changed, and she asked nervously, "Second brother, do you have any clues?"

Sheng Hongxiao shook his head and said, "There are not many clues, but I believe that as long as we work together, we can definitely find that person."

Sheng Hongye pondered for a moment and said, "Second brother, don't worry, we will fully support you. However, this matter involves great importance, you must act carefully to avoid alerting the enemy."

Sheng Hongxiao nodded and said, "Big brother is right. I will be careful."

At this moment, Sheng Hongxiao came over and said seriously: "Brother, Rong'er, I just found a clue. That person is very likely..."

Sheng Hongye and Sheng Yunrong held their breath at the same time and looked at Sheng Hongxiao nervously. Sheng Hongxiao said in a deep voice: "The second housekeeper of the Sheng Mansion."

The three of them fell silent, each with their own concerns. The second housekeeper of the Sheng Mansion had always been a capable assistant to the Sheng Mansion, so how could it be him?

Sheng Hongye took a deep breath and said, "Second brother, do you have any evidence?"

Sheng Hongxiao shook his head and said, "There is no conclusive evidence yet. But I believe that as long as we continue to investigate, we will be able to find the truth."

Sheng Yunrong said worriedly: "Second brother, we have to be careful so as not to alert the enemy."

Sheng Hongxiao nodded and said, "I will be careful. Brother, Rong'er, you should also be more careful."
