Sheng Yunrong took the letter, opened it, and her face suddenly became solemn. She sighed softly and said to Pei Jinxiao, "Your Highness, Prince Jing, this letter is from my father. He told me that the situation in the capital has been turbulent recently, and I'm afraid something big will happen."
Pei Jinxiao's eyes flashed with nervousness. He clenched his fists and said, "Miss Sheng, what are your plans?"
Sheng Yunrong pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness Prince Jing, I think we should stabilize the Sheng Mansion first, and then find a way to deal with the situation in the capital."
Pei Jinxiao nodded in agreement: "Miss Sheng is right, we should ensure the safety of the Sheng Mansion first, and then consider other things."
"Miss Sheng, you seem to be worried about something." Pei Jinxiao put down the teacup in his hand, his tone gentle but with a barely perceptible sharpness.
Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, trying to hide the fluctuations in her heart: "Your Highness Prince Jing, thank you for the compliment. It's just a small matter."
"It's a small matter?" Pei Jinxiao raised his eyebrows slightly, a trace of inquiry flashed in his deep eyes, "It can make a young lady like you from the Sheng Mansion look uneasy, so this small matter is probably not simple."
Sheng Yunrong bit her lip lightly, a trace of struggle flashed in her eyes, and finally spoke: "Actually, I am worried about the recent changes in the Sheng Mansion."
Pei Jinxiao's eyes flashed with something strange. He seemed to have expected Sheng Yunrong to bring up this matter. "What does the change in the Sheng Mansion have to do with you?"
"Your Highness, don't you know?" Sheng Yunrong sighed softly, with a hint of sadness in her eyes. "The Sheng Mansion has been attacked repeatedly in recent days. As a member of the Sheng Mansion, how can I not be worried about it?"
Pei Jinxiao nodded slightly, his expression becoming serious: "The safety of the Sheng Mansion is naturally related to the stability of our country. However, as the eldest lady of the Sheng Mansion, what are your plans?"
Sheng Yunrong pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "I think, maybe we should find the mastermind behind this and completely solve this hidden danger."
Pei Jinxiao's eyes flashed with admiration. He looked at Sheng Yunrong as if he saw a future strong woman: "Miss Sheng is indeed extraordinary. So, do you have any clues?"
Sheng Yunrong shook her head slightly, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes: "I haven't yet, but I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to find out the truth."
At this time, the atmosphere in the hall became tense. The conversation between Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao made everyone present look sideways. The two young masters of the Sheng Mansion, Sheng Yunjie and Sheng Yunwen, could not help but exchange glances.
Sheng Yunjie coughed lightly and broke the silence: "In this case, all of us in the Sheng Mansion will fully support the young lady and fight this crisis together."
Sheng Yunwen also nodded with a firm expression: "Yes, the honor of the Sheng Mansion is the honor of each of us."
Sheng Yunrong looked at her two younger brothers, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She smiled slightly, and her eyes swept over everyone, and then fell on Pei Jinxiao: "Your Highness, what do you think we should do?"
Pei Jinxiao pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke: "First, we need to collect more information to understand the identity and purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes. Second, we need to strengthen the defense of Sheng Mansion to prevent further losses. Finally, we need to find evidence to bring this criminal to justice."
Sheng Yunrong nodded, with a gleam of determination in her eyes: "I will follow your instructions, Your Highness. We must resolve the crisis in the Sheng Mansion."
"Miss Sheng, do you really believe that we can find the mastermind behind this?" Pei Jinxiao asked.
Sheng Yunrong smiled gently, her eyes firm: "I believe that as long as we persist, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome."
Pei Jinxiao looked at Sheng Yunrong, and a wave of respect surged in his heart. He reached out and gently held Sheng Yunrong's shoulder: "Miss Sheng, you are my role model."
Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, with a hint of shyness in her eyes.
…
Sheng Yunrong's body trembled slightly. She raised her head, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes. The eldest daughter of the Sheng family, who has always been known for her elegance and calmness, seemed a little fragile at this moment.
Sheng Yunrong bit her lip, looked at Qin Wenyuan firmly, and said calmly: "Qin Wenyuan, what happened between you and me is a thing of the past. There is something important happening in my Sheng Mansion today, please respect yourself."
Qin Wenyuan stared at Sheng Yunrong with his eyes wide open in disbelief. He once thought that the relationship between them was indestructible, but at this moment, he felt an unprecedented indifference.
"Sheng Yunrong, are you really going to be so heartless? Is the love we once had going to disappear just like that?" Qin Wenyuan's voice was trembling a little.
Sheng Yunrong smiled lightly, with a trace of sadness in her eyes: "Qin Wenyuan, don't you understand? The love between us was dead when you betrayed me."
Qin Wenyuan's face turned pale instantly. He couldn't accept this fact. He once thought that his betrayal was just a momentary impulse and that Sheng Yunrong would forgive him. However, now he realized that what he lost was not only Sheng Yunrong, but also that precious love.
"Sheng Yunrong, I was wrong, I was really wrong! Please forgive me and give me a chance!" Qin Wenyuan knelt on the ground, clasped his hands together, his eyes full of pleading.
Sheng Yunrong looked at Qin Wenyuan, her heart was in turmoil. However, she knew that she could not turn back. She took a deep breath and said, "Qin Wenyuan, please go. There is no going back between us."
Qin Wenyuan stared at Sheng Yunrong's back with his eyes wide open, his heart filled with despair. He slowly stood up and staggered out of Sheng's house.
In the banquet hall of Sheng Mansion, Sheng Yunrong sat down slowly with a faint smile on her face.
At this moment, an official came over and said to Sheng Yunrong with a smile: "Miss Sheng, I heard that your ex-husband Qin Wenyuan is also at the banquet today. Aren't you worried that he will cause trouble?"
Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and said firmly, "If he dares to make trouble, I will make him pay."
The official smiled and said no more. However, Sheng Yunrong felt a little uneasy. Qin Wenyuan was a man who held grudges. He would definitely find an opportunity to take revenge at today's banquet.
Sure enough, halfway through the banquet, Qin Wenyuan appeared in front of Sheng Yunrong with a group of his men. He looked at Sheng Yunrong with a ferocious look in his eyes: "Sheng Yunrong, do you think you can escape from my clutches?"
Sheng Yunrong sneered and looked at Qin Wenyuan firmly: "Qin Wenyuan, do you think you still have the ability to hurt me? Today, I am having a banquet at Sheng Mansion. If you dare to make trouble here, I will make you pay the price!"
Qin Wenyuan stared at Sheng Yunrong's back with his eyes wide open, his heart filled with anger. However, he had already lost Sheng Yunrong and could never get her back.
At the banquet at the Sheng Mansion, Sheng Yunrong and her ex-husband Qin Wenyuan made the guests feel a fierce emotional collision. Sheng Yunrong's determination and calmness made Qin Wenyuan look even more embarrassed.
Finally, under the persuasion of the guests of Sheng Mansion, Qin Wenyuan left the banquet hall.
