As night fell, the garden of Sheng Mansion was brightly lit. Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao were in the pavilion, sipping tea and chatting. Sheng Rong's expression seemed to have returned to normal, but Pei Jinxiao still felt that something was wrong with her.

"Miss Sheng, you seem to be worried about something?" Pei Jinxiao suddenly asked.

Sheng Yunrong was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Prince Jing is really perceptive. I do have something on my mind."

Pei Jinxiao looked at her and said sincerely: "If you are willing, you can tell me, maybe I can help you share some of the burden."

Sheng Yunrong looked at him with a hint of gratitude in her eyes, but she finally shook her head: "I have to solve this matter myself."

Pei Jinxiao didn't ask any more questions and just stayed by her side silently.

It was late at night. Sheng Yunrong stood up and said to Pei Jinxiao, "Prince Jing, it's late. You should go back and rest early."

Pei Jinxiao nodded, stood up, and bowed to Sheng Yunrong: "Miss Sheng, you should also go to bed early. If you need anything, please let me know at any time."

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and watched Pei Jinxiao leave. She looked at the bright moon in the sky, but her heart became heavier.

The next day, Sheng Yunrong received a letter. The letter only had one sentence: "Tonight, in the abandoned garden in the west of the city, I have something to talk to you about."

Sheng Yunrong looked at the letter, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the darkness. Sheng Yunrong took a step back in fright. When she looked carefully, she found that it was her personal maid Xiaoyue.

"Miss, you are finally here." Xiaoyue said with a rough breath, "My master has something important to discuss with you."

Sheng Yunrong frowned slightly. She knew that Xiaoyue's master was her past that she could not avoid. She took a deep breath and followed Xiaoyue into the depths of the garden.

In front of a dilapidated pavilion, Sheng Yunrong saw a familiar figure. That person was the man she once loved deeply, and also the enemy she had to face now.

The man turned his head and looked at Sheng Yunrong, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes: "Miss Sheng, we meet again."

Sheng Yunrong looked at him coldly and said firmly: "Li Yu, if you have anything to say, just say it directly."

Li Yu looked at her, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, but he finally said the words that shocked Sheng Yunrong: "Miss Sheng, I want you to do something for me."

Sheng Yunrong looked at him, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes: "What's the matter?"

Li Yu took a deep breath and said, "I want you to help me kill someone."

Sheng Yunrong's face changed. She didn't expect Li Yu to make such a request. She looked at him coldly and said firmly: "Li Yu, do you think I will do anything for you?"

Li Yu looked at her, a trace of despair flashed in his eyes, but he finally said: "Miss Sheng, I understand you. But this matter is very important to me. I beg you, help me this time."

Sheng Yunrong looked at him, and her heart became more determined.

She couldn't agree to him because that person was someone she had to protect.

"Li Yu, I can't do it." Sheng Yunrong said firmly.

Li Yu looked at her, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but he finally smiled helplessly: "Miss Sheng, I know your character, you are a principled person. But I still hope that you can consider my request."

Sheng Yunrong looked at him and said coldly: "Li Yu, you should know that it is impossible for me to agree to you. Go away, I don't want to see you again."

Li Yu looked at her, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, but he still turned and left. Sheng Yunrong looked at his leaving back, but her heart became heavier.

Finally, on a dark and windy night, Sheng Yunrong found out where Li Yu was hiding. She took Pei Jinxiao and sneaked into Li Yu's residence.

They walked into the house and saw Li Yu sitting at the table, holding a glass of wine in his hand, drinking alone.

A trace of anger flashed in Sheng Yunrong's eyes. She walked forward and looked at Li Yu coldly: "Li Yu, you are so brave."

Li Yu looked at her, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure: "Miss Sheng, I had expected you to come."

Sheng Yunrong looked at him and said firmly: "Li Yu, I know everything you did. Today, I will seek justice for the victims."

Li Yu looked at her and smiled gently: "Miss Sheng, do you think you can defeat me?"

Sheng Yunrong did not answer, she just stood there quietly, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

Pei Jinxiao saw this and knew that Sheng Yunrong was ready for a decisive battle. He stood behind her silently, guarding her.

At this moment, Li Yu suddenly stood up, with a sharp dagger in his hand. He looked at Sheng Yunrong, with a cruel light in his eyes: "Miss Sheng, let me see how capable you are."

Sheng Yunrong looked at him with a hint of indifference in her eyes: "Li Yu, you will know soon."

As she spoke, Sheng Yunrong suddenly made a move. She was agile and quickly subdued Li Yu. She looked at him and said coldly, "Li Yu, I will reveal your crimes one by one and let you receive the punishment you deserve."

Li Yu looked at her, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, but he still pretended to be calm: "Miss Sheng, do you think you can win?"

Sheng Yunrong did not answer, she just looked at him quietly, with a firm light flashing in her eyes.

Pei Jinxiao watched this scene and secretly cheered for Sheng Yunrong in his heart. Sheng Yunrong will definitely be able to defeat Li Yu and seek justice for the victims.

In the end, Sheng Yunrong successfully subdued Li Yu and handed him over to the government. She looked at Pei Jinxiao with a flash of gratitude in her eyes: "Prince Jing, thank you."

Pei Jinxiao looked at her and smiled gently: "Miss Sheng, this is what I should do."

"You two." The jailer bowed.

Sheng Yunrong nodded slightly, her eyes passing over the jailer's shoulder and falling into the dark and damp prison cell. Her brows knitted slightly, obviously feeling uncomfortable with such an environment. But her steps were firm, without the slightest hesitation.

"Miss Sheng, do you really want to go to the cell yourself and take a look?" Pei Jinxiao followed closely behind her and said with a complicated expression.

Sheng Yunrong looked back at him, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes: "Prince Pei, how can we, the people of Sheng Mansion, be afraid of these. I not only want to see, but also find out the truth."

Pei Jinxiao remained silent. He knew Sheng Yunrong's character. Once she made a decision, nothing could change it.

The air in the cell was damp and heavy, Sheng Yunrong frowned, but still walked into the cell. She saw the prisoners chained with iron chains, their faces full of despair and fear.

"Who is this?" Sheng Yunrong asked, pointing at a pale and skinny prisoner.

"This is the steward of the Sheng Mansion, Steward Sheng." the jailer replied.

Sheng Yunrong raised her eyebrows, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes: "Butler Sheng? Why is he here?"
