Pei Jinxiao quickly hid behind Sheng Yunrong as if someone was watching him. Sheng Yunrong was slightly stunned, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, and then a doting smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She gently patted Pei Jinxiao's shoulder and whispered: "Don't worry, I'm here, no one can hurt you."

The garden of Sheng Mansion was full of flowers and fragrance. Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao walked side by side on the path, and the servants around them avoided them, not daring to look directly at the two noble figures.

"Pei Jinxiao, why are you so nervous today?" Sheng Yunrong asked softly, with a hint of concern in her eyes.

Pei Jinxiao lowered his head slightly and smiled awkwardly: "Today, a distinguished guest came to the mansion. I am worried that he will harm me."

Sheng Yunrong's eyes flashed with sharpness, and she frowned slightly: "Distinguished guest? Could it be some lord in the court?"

Pei Jinxiao nodded: "That's right. This man is called Zhao Ming, he is a close confidant of the current emperor and has great power in the court. He has had a feud with me before, so I'm afraid he has no good intentions in coming here this time."

Sheng Yunrong's face turned serious, and she held Pei Jinxiao's hand tightly: "In this case, we must be vigilant. But don't worry, the Sheng Mansion is not so easy to be bullied."

As the two were talking, a man in gorgeous clothes came over from a distance. There was a sense of pride between his brows and his steps were light, as if everything was under control.

"Miss Sheng, Mr. Pei, it's a pleasure to meet you." Zhao Ming greeted them with a smile, but a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Sir Zhao, I have long heard of your great name. What brings you to my humble home today? What can I do for you?"

Zhao Ming glanced at Pei Jinxiao, and a sneer appeared on his lips: "I just came to see an old friend, and by the way, I also learned about the grand occasion of Sheng Mansion."

Pei Jinxiao frowned slightly, feeling uneasy. He quietly pulled Sheng Yunrong's sleeve, signaling her to be careful.

Sheng Yunrong took Pei Jinxiao's hint and deliberately raised her voice: "Master Zhao, since you are here, how about we enjoy the flowers together?"

Zhao Ming's eyes flickered. He didn't seem to expect Sheng Yunrong to make such a request. He smiled slightly and said, "Then I'd better obey your command."

The four of them strolled in the garden together, and the atmosphere was a little subtle. Zhao Ming glanced at Pei Jinxiao from time to time, with a provocative look in his eyes.

Sheng Yunrong saw this and couldn't help but feel a little worried. She quietly approached Pei Jinxiao and whispered to comfort him: "Don't worry, I will protect you."

Pei Jinxiao smiled slightly, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "I know, Miss Sheng, don't worry, I won't let him succeed easily."

At this moment, a servant came running in with a letter in his hand: "Miss, this is from a Jianghu man named Wang Sheng."

Sheng Yunrong took the letter, opened it, and her face instantly became solemn. She handed the letter to Pei Jinxiao, who also flashed a trace of panic in his eyes after reading it.

"Miss Sheng, Mr. Pei, what happened to you?" Zhao Ming asked curiously.

Sheng Yunrong glanced at Zhao Ming coldly: "Master Zhao, your show is about to begin."

Zhao Ming was stunned, not understanding what was going on. He only saw Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao smiling at each other, then turning around and leaving.

Back in the hall of Sheng Mansion, Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao told Sheng Yuan, the head of Sheng Mansion, the contents of the letter.

After hearing this, Sheng Yuan's face became serious: "This matter is of great importance. We must act immediately."

The whole Sheng Mansion took quick action, and a conspiracy against Zhao Ming quietly unfolded. In the Sheng Mansion Garden, Zhao Ming was waiting for the expected victory, but he didn't know that he had fallen into a carefully laid trap.

As night fell, the lights in Sheng Mansion were on. Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao stood in the hall, waiting for Zhao Ming to arrive. At this time, the servants of Sheng Mansion had quietly led Zhao Ming into the trap they had prepared in advance.

Zhao Ming walked into the hall and saw Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao looking relaxed, which made him feel a little nervous. However, when he saw Sheng Yuan, he was startled.

"Lord Sheng, what do you mean?" Zhao Ming asked with forced calmness.

Sheng Yuan looked at Zhao Ming coldly: "Master Zhao, you think you are smart, but you don't know that you have fallen into our trap."

Zhao Ming's face changed. He wanted to draw his sword, but found that the servants around him had already surrounded him.

…

Sheng Yunrong smiled and said, "Are you from the Tu Su family?"

The officers and soldiers were visibly stunned, their eyes widening in horror.

Sheng Yunrong's words fell lightly, as if carrying an irresistible magic, making the originally majestic officers and soldiers lose their momentum in an instant. In their eyes, in addition to horror, there was also an indescribable awe.

"Ms. Sheng, Miss Sheng!" An official finally came to his senses and stammered, "Why are you here?"

Sheng Yunrong smiled gently, and that smile was like a peach blossom blooming in spring, both delicate and arrogant: "Why can't I be here? Tusu Mansion is not a place that anyone can break into at will."

The officials looked at each other, and one of them spoke cautiously: "Miss Sheng, we are just following orders, please understand."

"Following orders?" Sheng Yunrong's eyes turned slightly cold. "Then do you know who is the owner of this Tusu Mansion?"

The officers and soldiers looked at each other, and one of them answered hesitantly: "We only knew that this was an abandoned mansion, but we didn't expect it to be..."

"Abandoned?" Sheng Yunrong sneered, a trace of disdain flashing in her eyes, "It seems that your understanding of Tusu Mansion is far from enough."

At this time, Tu Subo came out of the mansion. His face was stern and his eyes were deep, like an unfathomable lake. He looked at Sheng Yunrong and said calmly, "Miss Sheng, since you are here, why don't you come into the mansion and have a chat."

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and nodded gently: "That's exactly what I meant."

The two men walked into the mansion together. The officers and soldiers hesitated for a moment, but finally followed them in.

The interior of the house is simple and elegant, and every detail reveals the taste and style of the owner. Sheng Yunrong walked in it and couldn't help but sigh: "Tu Su Mansion is indeed worthy of its reputation."

Tu Subo smiled gently, with a hint of pride in his eyes: "This is the property left by my father. Although it has gone through many ups and downs, it still maintains its original appearance."

Sheng Yunrong turned around and looked at Tu Subo: "Tu Subo, do you know why I came here today?"

Tu Subo smiled slightly: "Is it because of the missing goods?"

Sheng Yunrong's eyes narrowed. She didn't expect Tu Subo to be able to tell her purpose in one sentence. She nodded slightly: "Yes, I did come here for that batch of goods."

Tu Subo looked at Sheng Yunrong, his eyes flashing with complexity: "Miss Sheng, do you think that batch of goods is related to the Tu Su Mansion?"

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly: "I don't know, but I believe that as long as we work together, we can solve this mystery."

The two smiled at each other, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding. At this time, an official couldn't help but speak: "Miss Sheng, do you really believe Tu Subo? He is from the Tu Su Mansion."
