Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, but the bitterness and resentment in her heart were not so easy to dissipate.
However, she quickly dragged a box out from under the bed and said, "Big Brother, Second Brother, this is the banknote I planned to take out secretly on the day Qin Wenyuan and I divorced. Now I give it all to you. Find someone to take it home quietly, and tell my parents that I am fine."
The two smiled at each other and did not refuse.
The relationship between the siblings was now unreserved, they were giving it their all, the money was really needed urgently.
And Sheng Yunrong’s words are particularly important.
"Okay." Sheng Hongxiao agreed and took half of the banknotes. "Leave these silver coins for future use."
At this point, Sheng Yunrong suddenly remembered: "Second brother, on the way to the palace, I accidentally heard someone say that the land price in this area will rise in the future. I don't know why. We have to stockpile more land."
"Yes." Sheng Hongxiao agreed. "Although the land belongs to the Western Wei, the property can give us temporary use rights. If there are any changes here, it will only benefit us. Buy it!"
"Then I'll trouble my two brothers to handle this matter." Sheng Yunrong handed all the money to her two brothers with confidence.
"No problem." Sheng Hongxiao took over the task.
Sheng Hongye, however, couldn't wait to settle the score with Qin Wenyuan.
"Yunrong, you should rest well here! If you have any plans for the future, try to tell us and we will help you implement them! You just need to take good care of your health." Sheng Hongye said in a firm tone.
"Okay." Sheng Yunrong smiled again. She knew that this would be more beneficial.
In this way, her two brothers no longer need to be distracted by her.
"Knock, knock, knock." There was a sudden knock on the door.
Several people tacitly dropped the previous topic.
Sheng Hongye: "Please come in."
Xiang Zhu pushed the door open and saw that Sheng Yunrong had woken up. He was very excited: "Madam, you are awake!"
"Yeah." Sheng Yunrong saw that her forehead was covered with sweat and knew that there must be an emergency. "What happened?"
Xiang Zhu came back to his senses and said in panic: "Your Majesty has thoroughly investigated the Deng and Liu families, and has issued an order to kill all nine members of the Liu family and exile the Deng family to a remote place!"
"Liu family?" Sheng Hongye thought the name sounded familiar. "Is it the Imperial Concubine Liu who has been favored by His Majesty in recent years and has a close relationship with His Majesty?"
"Yes." Xiang Zhu replied, "The palace only said that the Liu family and the Deng family were colluding, but no one knows what crime they committed to deserve the punishment of exterminating all nine clans!"
Sheng Yunrong understood what was going on, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth.
The Queen Mother believed her and investigated the Liu family's affairs.
The Western Wei Dynasty finally emerged from the shadow of rebellion and chaos.
Sheng Hongye and Sheng Hongxiao caught the subtle changes on Sheng Yunrong's face. They looked at each other and realized that this matter was inextricably linked to Sheng Yunrong.
Combined with the memory of Sheng Yunrong being summoned to the palace a few days ago, they were more certain that Sheng Yunrong had assisted in this matter.
"The Deng family was imprisoned innocently. What will happen to the children?" Sheng Yunrong asked anxiously.
Xiang Zhu rushed here just because of this news: "The girls of the Deng family will be sent to the brothel to be trained, waiting to become official prostitutes one day. The boys will be sent to the slave market and sold as slaves."
Sheng Yunrong was concerned about Deng Wan: "Big Brother, second brother, please go to the brothel and buy back Deng Wan, a nine-year-old girl from the Deng family."
"Okay." Sheng Hongye and Sheng Hongxiao did not doubt her existence. After kindly instructing Xiang Zhu to take good care of Sheng Yunrong, they left side by side.
Xiang Zhu carefully supported Sheng Yunrong and let her slowly return to bed.
[It's incredible... After just a short time apart, the relationship between the eldest and second young masters and the eldest lady seems to have become closer. The sincere brother-sister relationship that surpasses the warmth of the past makes people curious about the mystery.]
Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and no longer paid attention to the doubts in Xiang Zhu's heart.
"Where is Mo Yuan?" Sheng Yunrong hadn't seen him for a while.
Xiang Zhu replied, "The young master has been practicing martial arts alone outside in silence these days. At this moment, he is still practicing hard."
Although Sheng Yunrong didn't know the real reason why Qin Moyuan practiced martial arts diligently, she felt very relieved in her heart: "It's good to let him practice. He is too weak."
Outside the Sheng residence, the two dared not speak until they reached a quiet place where no one would disturb them.
"Second brother, what do you think about the incident involving Concubine Liu?" Sheng Hongye asked first.
Sheng Hongxiao understood his intention and responded in a low voice: "Brother, Yunrong's ability appeared too suddenly. If those with ulterior motives knew about it, she would be in danger. We... must do our best to protect her."
"Of course." Sheng Hongye nodded, and finally couldn't help rolling up his sleeves, "Now, let's go find Qin Wenyuan to settle the score. Where should we go?"
Sheng Hongxiao smiled slightly and then revealed the destination.
The Imperial Palace.
The emperor signed the execution order with a grim face and waved his hand for everyone to leave the hall.
Only the Queen stayed in the Imperial Study.
The emperor stood up wearily.
Ever since he stopped taking the medicine that Concubine Liu had been supplying for a long time, his mind had gradually become much clearer.
Only then did he realize that he had unknowingly forgotten the queen whom he loved deeply in childhood.
He hugged the queen tightly and closed his eyes: "Hui'er, if it weren't for your help, I'm afraid..."
The Queen, with tears in her eyes, hugged the Emperor tightly back.
She originally thought that the Majesty, who had played with her since childhood, had long forgotten everything in the past, but she didn't expect that he actually kept it in mind.
"Your Majesty..." The Queen nestled in his arms, thinking of Sheng Yunrong.
These days are like a nightmare, if it weren't for Sheng Yunrong...
"Your Majesty, I have something to say." The Queen raised her head.
The emperor wanted to repay the queen for all the years he had owed her, so he said hurriedly, "You tell me."
"Your Majesty, it was an accident that I was able to expose the Liu family's conspiracy and see through Concubine Liu's tricks." The Queen knew that if this extraordinary ability was discovered by others, it would definitely lead to disaster, so she chose her words carefully, "But all this is thanks to Sheng Yunrong."
"Sheng Yunrong?" The emperor frowned, feeling unfamiliar with the name.
"It was Madam Qin who was summoned into the palace by His Majesty a few days ago." The Queen reminded softly.
"It's her?" the emperor was surprised.
In the capital, the turmoil surrounding the Qin family was a hot topic.
How could such a new thing happen in the Western Wei Kingdom, which had been peaceful for hundreds of years?
From the elderly to the newborn babies, everyone is talking about it with relish.
However, this seemingly ordinary woman with an ill-fated fate actually became the key figure in uncovering the crisis of the Western Wei Dynasty?
"That's right, Your Majesty." Although the Queen Mother could not put it too clearly, she did not want Sheng Yunrong, who brought new hope to the Western Wei Dynasty, to be buried.
After all, there will be many times in the future when they will need her.
"Your Majesty." The Queen said solemnly, "I have observed Madam Qin. She is... different. There is something about her that Your Majesty and I must pay attention to. We... must not owe her anything, Your Majesty."
