Chapter 39 Ziyuan is Zheng Caiyi's sister
Shen Junheng chuckled, walked to the bedside, leaned over and looked under the bed, and said, "Come out. There are so many people in the mansion today. Find a chance to go to the front hall and say you are here for a banquet. Wouldn't that be so stealthy? As for why you haven't been seen for the past few days, you can come up with an excuse."
"Okay." Xiao Lingyu's body slid out from under the bed like a snake. He put his arms around Shen Junheng's shoulders and kissed her lips.
Her lips were so soft and her kiss was so sweet that he was extremely greedy.
At the right time, Liu Xiaodie led Ziyuan in and happened to see this scene.
Liu Xiaodie was so embarrassed that she quickly covered her face with her hands and coughed lightly.
Shen Junheng quickly pushed Xiao Lingyu away, covered his face with a red face and ran away.
Xiao Lingyu smiled triumphantly and walked out.
Zi Yuan lowered her head, her eyes fixed on He Pingzhi, her eyes full of hatred.
Ziyuan's actual surname is Zheng, and she is Zheng Caiyi's younger sister.
When Zheng Caiyi was driven out of the He Mansion, Zheng Ziyuan also fell seriously ill. Fortunately, Zheng Caiyi paid for a doctor for her and she was able to recover.
But Zheng Ziyuan just recovered from her illness and heard the news of her sister's death. She was filled with grief and anger. She knew that her sister died in Zuichunlou. In order to avenge her sister, she did not hesitate to risk her life and sneak into Zuichunlou.
After secretly investigating Zuichunlou for several months, she learned that He Pingzhi was the mastermind behind her sister's abduction to Zuichunlou.
She wanted to eat He Pingzhi alive all the time, but it was easy to enter Zuichunlou but difficult to leave. She couldn't even escape and had no chance of revenge.
When she learned that Shen Junheng intended to redeem a woman from Zuichunlou, she used all her savings to buy rouge from Ji Zixuan and asked her to say a few good words for her in front of Shen Junheng.
After Shen Junheng chose Zheng Ziyuan, he sent someone to secretly investigate her background. He was surprised to learn that she was Zheng Caiyi's sister.
Shen Junheng went to ask her about this, and when he learned about it, he was very angry.
She originally thought that the mastermind behind Zheng Caiyi's murder was Xiao Linghe, but she didn't expect it to be He Pingzhi.
Xiao Linghe hated Zheng Caiyi, but didn't want to dirty his hands, so he asked He Pingzhi to deal with her. He Pingzhi was really crazy in order to please Xiao Linghe.
A husband and wife are bound by a hundred days of grace. After all, Zheng Caiyi was his concubine whom he married with his military merits. How could he be so cruel as to do such a vicious thing to her? He is worse than a beast!
Shen Junheng said she had a way to bring down He Pingzhi, but it would require her to make sacrifices.
Zheng Ziyuan couldn't help but say that she had been weak and sickly since childhood. If it weren't for her sister's care, she wouldn't be alive today. Now she was a broken woman, and she was willing to do anything to avenge her sister.
Shen Junheng sighed and felt deep sympathy for Zheng Ziyuan.
She had been subjected to endless humiliation in Zuichunlou, and her body had long since fallen ill. Now she was at the end of her rope, hanging on by a thread. If she could kill He Pingzhi before she died, she would die without regrets.
Shen Junheng originally just wanted to arrange a woman for He Pingzhi as a reason to divorce him, but he didn't expect that things are unpredictable and he ended up putting He Pingzhi to death.
But He Pingzhi is the male protagonist of the book after all. Will the author agree to kill the male protagonist?
She wasn't sure if he would actually die, but since things had come to this point, she decided to give it a try.
Now that He Pingzhi has fallen into Zheng Ziyuan's hands, it can be considered as karma and retribution.
He Ping deserved the punishment for his crime, but it was really a pity for Zheng Ziyuan.
"Ziyuan, please go in." Shen Junheng said softly.
"Thank you, Miss Chen, for your help." Zheng Ziyuan knelt down, bowed deeply to Shen Junheng, then stood up and walked in resolutely, slowly closing the door.
"Miss, Chen Ying is searching the yard with several servants and is now heading towards the backyard." Liu Xiaodie walked over quickly and whispered.
Shen Junheng whispered a few words to Liu Xiaodie, who nodded and walked towards the front hall.
After a while, Chen Ying walked into the backyard, followed by several sneaky servants.
Shen Junheng walked towards her and asked calmly, "What are you looking for, Princess?"
Chen Ying winked at the servants, and they dispersed. She then walked up to Shen Junheng and said calmly, "My raccoon has run away. Has Madam He seen it?"
Shen Junheng didn't answer but asked, "The princess is here for the banquet, why did she bring her raccoon servant with her?"
Chen Ying retorted: "Why, can't I bring it?"
Shen Junheng smiled and said, "As long as the princess is happy."
"Mrs. He hosted a banquet to welcome General He. Now that the guests are all here and have been waiting for quite some time, Mrs. He and General He still haven't shown up. I'm afraid this isn't the right way to treat guests, is it?"
"Heng, I haven't seen you come out yet. I was a little worried, so I came in to check on you." At this time, Chen Congting came over. "You and He Zhi haven't come to the table yet, what happened?"
Behind Shen Congting were several other guests including Xiao Linghe and Jingzhao Yin. They appeared to be concerned, but in fact they had different thoughts.
"No, nothing." Shen Junheng's eyes flickered, and he forced a smile. "He Zhi was drunk last night and hasn't woken up yet. Everyone, go sit in the front hall for a while. I'll go wake him up and come back."
"It's already so late. No matter how drunk you are, you should wake up." Chen Congting frowned slightly, his face full of concern. "Ah Heng, are you hiding something from us?"
"No, no..." Shen Junheng stammered.
"Why don't you all take a seat? What are you all doing here?" Xiao Lingyu walked over with a nonchalant smile.
When Xiao Linghe saw him, his expression changed slightly and he asked in surprise, "Third brother, why are you here?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu looked calm. He took out the invitation from his sleeve pocket and waved it in front of him, saying with a smile, "Why do you ask? Aren't you here too? What? Do you think General He doesn't welcome me and I shouldn't come to the banquet?"
Xiao Linghe quickly smiled and said, "I absolutely didn't mean that. I just heard a few days ago that Third Brother had disappeared, and I was so happy to see him suddenly that I couldn't contain my joy."
"Yes, we are very worried when we heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has disappeared. I wonder where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been these days?" An official from the Prince of Yan's party asked hurriedly.
Without waiting for Xiao Lingyu to speak, Xiao Jinhuan replied immediately, "I invited my third brother to be my guest. He has been staying here for the past few days."
The official immediately said, "Also, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Princess share a deep affection for each other and have a lot to talk about after not seeing each other for a long time, His Royal Highness wouldn't even skip the morning court for several days in a row."
Xiao Jinhuan glanced at the official and said with a smile, "You idiot, you're determined to get to the bottom of this, aren't you? Let me ask you, you're a man too. What could possibly make a man so happy that he'd be too tired to even attend court?"
Those experienced drivers who understood it immediately couldn't help but laugh.
Xiao Lingyu coughed lightly, pretending to be embarrassed.
The official still did not give up and asked: "What could be more important than attending court?"
