The cave was dark, and Sheng Yunrong lit a torch to illuminate the road ahead. They walked along the narrow passage, and from time to time bats flew over their heads, making rustling sounds.

At this moment, Sheng Yunrong suddenly stopped. She looked at the passage ahead, with a hint of surprise in her eyes: "Lord Pei, look there."

Pei Jinxiao followed her gaze and saw a stone tablet at the end of the passage with a few large characters engraved on it: "The treasure of Sheng Mansion is opened here."

There was a hint of surprise in both of their eyes.

"Where is that person?" Pei Jinxiao asked hurriedly.

Sheng Yunrong frowned slightly, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "It should be in the pavilion in the back garden. I've asked someone to look for it."

Pei Jinxiao immediately turned around and walked out upon hearing this, and Sheng Yunrong followed closely behind him. The back garden of Sheng Mansion was full of flowers and green trees, and the pavilion was hidden in the green. The two walked along the winding path and saw a person sitting alone in the pavilion from a distance. It was Sheng Yunrong's younger brother Sheng Yunxuan.

"Yunxuan!" Pei Jinxiao stepped forward quickly, looking concerned.

Sheng Yunxuan raised his head, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled bitterly, "Brother Jinxiao, you are here."

Sheng Yunrong also followed him into the pavilion. Seeing her brother's thin figure, she couldn't help but feel sad. She walked to Sheng Yunxuan, patted his shoulder gently, and said softly, "What's wrong with you?"

Sheng Yunxuan shook his head slightly to hide his sadness, but he couldn't help it and tears fell: "Sister, I...I seem to have done something wrong."

Pei Jinxiao frowned and asked, "What happened? Why are you so depressed?"

Sheng Yunxuan sniffed and said slowly: "A few days ago, I met a friend outside. He told me a secret. He said that the property of the Sheng Mansion actually belongs to his family. Our Sheng family is just looking after it for his family."

"What?" Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao asked in surprise at the same time.

Sheng Yunxuan nodded, with a trace of fear in his eyes: "I didn't believe it at first, but then he produced evidence, and I... I really can't believe that our Sheng family has been deceived for so many years."

Sheng Yunrong looked pale, bit her lower lip, and said, "This matter is very serious, we must find out the truth."

Pei Jinxiao nodded and said, "Yes, I will go with you to check it out."

Sheng Yunxuan looked at the two of them, a trace of gratitude flashing in his eyes: "Thank you, but I'm afraid... I'm worried that I will get you into trouble."

Sheng Yunrong smiled and patted Sheng Yunxuan's shoulder gently: "Brother, don't worry, no matter what happens, we will be with you."

Pei Jinxiao also said: "That's right, we are a family, and the Sheng family's affairs are our affairs."

"It's good that you know what's going on, sister." Sheng Hongxiao looked at Sheng Yunrong with tender eyes. He patted her shoulder gently, turned and walked towards the study, his back looking even taller in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Sheng Yunrong looked at her brother's back and felt a warm feeling in her heart.

In silence, the noisy sound outside the door attracted the attention of several people. Sheng Yunrong frowned slightly, a hint of impatience flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "Go and see what's going on." As soon as she finished speaking, a maid ran in hurriedly, panting and said: "Miss, there is a man in a black cloak outside the door, saying that he has something important to see you."

Sheng Yunrong's eyes narrowed as she looked at Pei Jinxiao in confusion: "Your Majesty, look at this..."

Pei Jinxiao nodded slightly, motioning her to go and see him. Sheng Yunrong bowed slightly, turned around and walked towards the door. Pei Jinxiao sat on the chair, looking out the door with deep eyes, as if thinking about something.

Sheng Yunrong walked to the door and saw the man in black raised his head, revealing a handsome face. It was her cousin Sheng Yunmo. Sheng Yunrong was slightly startled and hurriedly asked, "Cousin, why are you here?"

Sheng Yunmo said anxiously: "Cousin, something terrible has happened. Something has happened at home. Come back with me quickly."

Sheng Yunrong frowned: "What happened at home? Why are you so panicked?"

Sheng Yunmo sighed and said, "The old lady at home suddenly fell ill and her condition was serious. No one was in charge of the family affairs, so I had to come to you."

Sheng Yunrong's face changed, and she asked anxiously, "What's the situation now?"

Sheng Yunmo shook his head: "The situation is not optimistic, cousin, please come back with me."

Sheng Yunrong hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Pei Jinxiao. Pei Jinxiao smiled slightly and said, "Miss Sheng will go back to take charge of the affairs of the Sheng Mansion. I will send someone to escort you back."

Sheng Yunrong bowed slightly and looked at Pei Jinxiao gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Sheng Yunrong and Sheng Yunmo left Sheng Mansion and returned home. Inside Sheng Mansion, Pei Jinxiao looked at their departing figures thoughtfully, thinking to himself, "Sheng Mansion is indeed a place of trouble."

When Sheng Yunrong returned home, she saw that everyone in the Sheng Mansion was in a panic. Sheng Yunrong comforted everyone and went to the old lady's room. The old lady was lying on the bed, her face was pale and her breath was weak. Sheng Yunrong burst into tears, knelt in front of the bed, held the old lady's hand, and said, "Grandma, you must hold on."

The old lady opened her eyes slightly, and when she saw Sheng Yunrong, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Rong'er, you're back."

Sheng Yunrong burst into tears: "Grandma, don't worry, I will avenge you."

The old lady shook her head and said weakly, "Rong'er, grandma doesn't have much time left. You...you must take good care of yourself and don't let grandma worry."

Sheng Yunrong felt as if her heart was broken by a knife, and she held the old lady's hand tightly: "Grandma, I will."

At this time, the messenger sent by Pei Jinxiao came to Sheng Mansion and expressed his willingness to help Sheng Yunrong deal with household affairs. Sheng Yunrong was very grateful and asked the messenger to stay and help her deal with household affairs.

In the Sheng Mansion, Sheng Yunrong and Sheng Yunmo were busy dealing with household affairs. At this time, a servant ran in hurriedly and said, "Miss, it's bad. Someone is spreading rumors outside that the Sheng Mansion is planning a rebellion."

Sheng Yunrong's face darkened and she asked coldly, "Who dares to spread rumors like this?"

The servant shook his head: "I don't know, but the rumors outside are getting more and more fierce, and I'm afraid the reputation of the Sheng Mansion will be damaged."

Sheng Yunrong frowned slightly, with a cold light flashing in her eyes: "Cousin, what do you think about this?"

Sheng Yunmo pondered and said, "Cousin, this matter is of great importance. We must find out who is behind this."

Sheng Yunrong nodded and turned to look at Pei Jinxiao's letter: "Prince, what do you think?"

Pei Jinxiao wrote in the letter: "There must be something fishy about this matter. I will help investigate in the capital, and you should also be careful at home."

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and put the letter in her arms.

At this time, Pei Jinxiao's messenger came to Sheng Mansion again and brought a letter. Sheng Yunrong opened the letter and saw Pei Jinxiao wrote in the letter: "Rong'er, the matter of Sheng Mansion is over. You should have a good rest at home. I will wait for you in the capital."
