"It's good that my sister knows what's going on." Sheng Hongxiao looked at Sheng Yunrong with tenderness in his eyes. Sheng Yunrong nodded gently, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

The banquet hall of Sheng Mansion was brightly lit, with carved beams and painted buildings, a scene of prosperity. The eldest daughter of Sheng Mansion, Sheng Yunrong, and her eldest brother, Sheng Hongxiao, sat in the main seat together, and the guests in the mansion raised their glasses to toast, with laughter and joy.

Sheng Yunrong turned her head and looked at Sheng Hongxiao who was sitting next to her, and asked softly, "Brother, are you satisfied with the song at today's banquet?"

Sheng Hongxiao smiled slightly, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "This song is indeed profound and intoxicating. My sister's vision is becoming more and more unique, and I am very pleased."

Sheng Yunrong smiled shyly, her eyes revealing her admiration for her elder brother: "Brother, you are too kind. I only know a little bit. On the other hand, you are proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I can't even compare to you."

Sheng Hongxiao gently patted Sheng Yunrong on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Sister, there is no need to feel inferior. Your talent is enough to make the Sheng family proud. However, it is difficult for women in this world to gain a foothold in the court. I hope you can cherish the life in front of you and live happily."

Sheng Yunrong's eyes flashed with determination: "Sister, I understand. I hope I can bring honor to the Sheng family and live up to my brother's expectations."

At this time, a maid hurried into the banquet hall, holding a letter in her hand and handed it to Sheng Hongxiao. Sheng Hongxiao took the letter, glanced through it quickly, and his face suddenly became solemn.

Seeing this, Sheng Yunrong asked with concern: "Brother, what is written in the letter? Why do you look so unhappy?"

Sheng Hongxiao pondered for a moment, then handed the letter to Sheng Yunrong: "Sister, take a look."

Sheng Yunrong took the letter and saw that it said: "Master Sheng, there is urgent news from the border. The enemy suddenly attacked and the situation is critical. To protect our country, please send troops to reinforce us as soon as possible."

After reading the letter, Sheng Yunrong's face became serious. She looked at Sheng Hongxiao with worry in her eyes: "Brother, what should we do?"

Sheng Hongxiao took a deep breath, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "Don't worry, sister. As an official appointed by the court, I should set an example and defend my country. I will send this letter to the palace immediately and ask the emperor to send reinforcements."

Sheng Yunrong looked at Sheng Hongxiao worriedly: "Brother, the journey to the border is long and the war is raging. You must take good care of yourself."

Sheng Hongxiao gently patted Sheng Yunrong's shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, sister, I will definitely return safely."

The atmosphere in the banquet hall suddenly became heavy, and the guests of Sheng Mansion asked Sheng Hongxiao when he would leave. Sheng Hongxiao told them that he would leave within three days.

On the eve of his departure, Sheng Hongxiao called Sheng Yunrong to the study and handed her a token: "Sister, this token is a token of the Sheng family. If you are in danger, you can use this token to seek help."

Sheng Yunrong took the token, tears welling up in her eyes: "Brother, you must come back safely. I'll be waiting for you."

Sheng Hongxiao smiled and nodded, hugged Sheng Yunrong tightly, then turned and left.

Three days later, Sheng Hongxiao led the reinforcements and set off. Sheng Yunrong stood on the city wall, looking at the departing troops, silently praying for her brother's safety.

The banquet hall of the Sheng Mansion was filled with laughter again, but Sheng Yunrong's heart was always concerned about her elder brother who was far away in the frontier.

Sheng Yunrong frowned slightly, looking into the distance through the window lattice, her bright eyes seemed to be able to see through everything. Jing Wang Pei Jinxiao had a calm face, he tapped the table lightly, as if thinking about something.

The atmosphere in the hall of Sheng Mansion was tense and heavy. Xiaohong, Sheng Yunrong's personal maid, couldn't help but secretly glance outside the door. She knew that the young lady was very concerned about what was happening outside the door, but she didn't dare to act on her own. At this time, Sheng Yunrong suddenly said, "Xiaohong, go and see what happened outside the door."

Xiaohong got the order and ran out of the door in a hurry. After a while, she came back panting and said breathlessly: "Miss, there is a woman in green clothes outside the door. She calls herself Green Ivy and said she has something important to see you."

Sheng Yunrong's face changed slightly when she heard this. She knew that Luluo was an old acquaintance of hers, and the purpose of her visit might not be simple. She pondered for a moment, and then said to Pei Jinxiao: "Prince Jing, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Pei Jinxiao smiled slightly and said, "Since he is an old acquaintance of Miss Sheng, we must meet him. However, we must act carefully to avoid falling into the enemy's trap."

Sheng Yunrong nodded in agreement. She turned to Xiaohong and said, "Xiaohong, go and invite Luluo in, but make sure she is safe."

Xiao Hong followed the order and left. After a while, a woman in green was led into the hall. She had a pretty face and a firm look in her eyes. It was obvious that she was a person with a story.

Sheng Yunrong looked Luoluo up and down, and then asked, "Luluo, what is the purpose of your trip?"

Luoluo bowed slightly and said, "Miss Sheng, I came here to tell you an important piece of news. Recently, someone in the Sheng Mansion has colluded with outsiders and intended to harm the Sheng Mansion."

Sheng Yunrong's face suddenly turned serious when she heard this. She turned to Pei Jinxiao and said, "Prince Jing, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Pei Jinxiao pondered for a moment and said, "Miss Sheng, I think we should find out the truth first and then make a decision. After all, it is not convenient for us to interfere too much in the internal affairs of the Sheng Mansion."

Sheng Yunrong nodded in agreement. She turned to Luluo and said, "Luluo, can you provide some clues?"

Luoluo pondered for a moment and said, "I learned this news from a man named Lin Feng. He claimed to be an old man of the Sheng Mansion, but now he has betrayed the Sheng Mansion and colluded with the outside world."

Sheng Yunrong heard this and immediately thought of someone. She turned to Pei Jinxiao and said, "Prince Jing, who do you think this Lin Feng is?"

Pei Jinxiao smiled slightly and said, "Miss Sheng, I think this Lin Feng is very likely the person inside the Sheng Mansion. We might as well set a trap and let him fall into it."

Sheng Yunrong nodded in agreement. She turned to Luluo and said, "Luluo, can you help us find Lin Feng?"

Luoluo nodded firmly and said, "Miss Sheng, I am willing to serve the Sheng family. However, I need your protection."

Sheng Yunrong smiled and patted Luluo's shoulder, saying, "Don't worry, I'm here and I will never let you get hurt."

Thus, a trap plan for Lin Feng was quietly launched. Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao made careful arrangements, waiting for Lin Feng to fall into the trap.

However, the plan did not go smoothly. Just when the trap was about to succeed, Lin Feng suddenly disappeared. Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao could not help but feel a little disappointed, but they did not give up. They believed that as long as they persisted, they would eventually find Lin Feng and uncover the secrets inside the Sheng Mansion.

When Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao gradually fell in love, an unexpected person appeared in front of them. He was Lin Feng. It turned out that Lin Feng did not leave Sheng Mansion, but hid deep in Sheng Mansion, trying to find an opportunity to retaliate against Sheng Yunrong.
