"What?!" A cry of surprise broke the silence, and everyone suddenly realized that the rumor that Qin Wenyuan had pushed and killed the evil boy was actually a false rumor. "Isn't this woman a victim of Qin Wenyuan's assault?"
Madam Qin raised her lips slightly, and continued to expose in a cold tone: "Who said that this woman was a victim forcibly brought into the Qin family by my son? It was obviously her who deliberately seduced her!"
"Seducing... a prostitute?" The crowd was dumbfounded.
Madam Qin slowly revealed the truth: "You may not know that Ling Meng and my son grew up in the same village! Who could have expected that this despicable woman would hook up with a scholar who was going to Beijing to take the exam for the sake of wealth and glory!
After arriving in the capital, she did not hesitate to join the entertainment industry and became a prostitute!
She is entangled with that scholar on one hand, and with my son on the other! All this is for the purpose of sweeping away all the property of my Qin family today, and then running away!"
"The Qin family's property was not stolen by servants who took advantage of the chaos, but was swept away by this woman?" Everyone was shocked.
"That's right!" Old Madam Qin said firmly, "What's ridiculous is that my precious son actually abandoned his wife Sheng Yunrong, whom he won over with all his tricks, for such a scheming concubine!"
"What?!" A series of exclamations exploded among the crowd like bombs.
This... this is simply too astonishing...
The inside story of the Qin family is so complicated?
Everyone was not only shocked by the darkness of the Qin family, but also stunned by Qin Wenyuan's cunning and Ling Meng's cruelty.
Sheng Yunrong observed all this quietly, with a faint smile on her lips.
The Qin family... has completely come to an end today.
Amid the endless scolding from Old Madam Qin, Sheng Yunrong quietly slipped out from the back door of the Qin Mansion and arrived at the Sheng Residence.
Inside the Sheng residence, Sheng Hongye and Sheng Hongxiao saw Sheng Yunrong returning, and hurried forward to look left and right, fearing that she might be hurt in the slightest.
They breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that she had indeed completed the plan unharmed.
Sheng Hongye's face lit up with a joyful smile: "Yunrong, we... can finally go home."
The corners of Sheng Yunrong's mouth also rose, but her smile gradually faded.
No, I can't go home yet.
For the sake of Western Wei and Moyuan, I can't go back.
The Qin family’s incident has not yet come to an end.
Old Madam Qin is in a state of frenzy and confusion at the moment, but when she regains consciousness, she will definitely interrogate Qin Wenyuan harshly.
By then...all the truth will come to light.
The solemn and deep expression on Sheng Yunrong's face made Sheng Hongxiao understand that the storm was far from over.
He held Sheng Yunrong's hands tightly, not hiding his worries: "Yunrong, is there anything you don't have to do that I need you to take care of? I will do everything I can to help you complete it."
Sheng Hongye's expression also became stern.
He longed to reunite with his parents who lived far away, but he hoped even more that the whole family could reunite safely.
"Yunrong, don't worry. I won't leave until all matters are completely resolved." Sheng Hongye solemnly promised.
Sheng Yunrong knew very well that her two brothers always kept their promises.
The secrets of the palace must be revealed to my brothers.
"Second brother, we... might as well go to the restaurant for a small gathering." Sheng Yunrong did not forget the mysterious official in the next yard. He was eyeing them covetously and sent people to monitor them closely.
"Okay." Sheng Hongye and Sheng Hongxiao smiled at each other and agreed to her proposal.
They had already realized that this matter was of great importance.
Soon, after Sheng Yunrong told Xiangzhu that no one was allowed to enter, she arrived at a relatively secluded restaurant with Sheng Hongye and Sheng Hongxiao.
As soon as Sheng Hongye and Sheng Hongxiao, two men who were famous for their wealth, arrived, the restaurant owner immediately arranged the best private room for them.
However, when the boss saw how carefully they were protecting Sheng Yunrong, he couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.
When did the eldest lady of the Qin family get acquainted with these two rich young men? Why did their relationship become so close, just like real siblings?
After entering the private room, Sheng Yunrong dismissed all the servants. After sitting down, she revealed all the matters to Sheng Hongye and Sheng Hongxiao without reservation.
After hearing everything, Sheng Hongye and Sheng Hongxiao felt heavy in their hearts.
They had already expected that Yunrong was involved in Concubine Liu's rebellion, but they did not expect that there would be so many twists and turns involved.
"Yunrong, please leave here." Sheng Hongxiao could no longer remain calm.
Before this, he thought they could properly protect Yunrong and prevent her hidden secrets from being exposed.
But now——
It's no longer possible.
"Yes, Yunrong." Although Sheng Hongye was sometimes cynical, he was always very perceptive when it came to Yunrong. "Yunrong, the reason why the emperor favors you so much is because of your extraordinary ability. The relationship between the empress and the emperor is so deep and it is natural that they are open to each other.
However, we will never put you in danger."
"The emperor values your talent and intelligence and wants you to investigate the mystery of the traitor in the real estate. Who knows what kind of important task he will entrust to you in the future?" Sheng Hongye clenched his teeth, "The current situation is still controllable, but the future is unpredictable, and you may get deeper and deeper into trouble.
You should take this opportunity to leave. Return to Jiangnan and reunite with your parents. Remember, never set foot in the capital again."
"Yes." Sheng Hongxiao and Sheng Hongye were in sync. "Leave the follow-up matters to us. You don't need to ask about it anymore."
"Brother, brother, I..." Sheng Yunrong hesitated to speak.
She knew very well that her special talents had attracted the close attention of the Queen and the Emperor.
Deep down, she also wanted to hide away, but when she thought about the fact that this was a major event concerning the fate of the Western Wei Dynasty, she could not stay out of it.
Her parents were also citizens of the Western Wei Dynasty, as were her two elder brothers.
She wanted to protect them.
She no longer longed for marriage, nor did she want to do anything to make her two brothers and parents sad.
Besides, the emperor has always favored the Sheng family.
It would be a blessing to be able to serve under such a benevolent emperor and empress.
"No." Sheng Hongxiao said resolutely, "Yunrong, you must follow our arrangements this time. Don't interfere anymore and don't care about anything. We..."
Tears welled up in Sheng Hongxiao's eyes: "We can no longer bear the pain of losing you again. No matter when."
Sheng Yunrong was shocked. Both of her brothers looked deeply sad.
She shed tears silently and finally agreed: "Okay."
The two brothers were ecstatic when they heard this.
"But you can't kick me out of the house." Sheng Yunrong said firmly, "I can stay out of it, but I must spend time with you."
Otherwise, she would not be able to return to her parents with peace of mind.
Sheng Hongye and Sheng Hongxiao exchanged glances and finally agreed to this condition.
They knew their sister's temperament very well. Although she seemed weak on the surface, she was actually strong and unyielding.
Otherwise, she would not have boldly left her hometown alone thirteen years ago and lived there for thirteen years.
