"You're talking nonsense!" Shen Ruorou screamed, "I have nothing to do with Li Xiu!"
"Oh? Really?" Shen Weiwan raised her eyebrows, "But everyone in the capital knows that Li Xiu's handkerchief is yours, and you were even having a 'secret meeting' in the garden." She deliberately emphasized the word "secret meeting".
Shen Ruorou was so angry that she was shaking all over, but she couldn't refute it. Those rumors had spread like wings throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.
"Chen Weiwan, what on earth do you want to do?" Shen Ruoruo's voice was filled with tears. "You have already ruined Li Xiushen's reputation, what else do you want?"
Shen Weiwan stood up and walked in front of Shen Ruorou, her eyes as sharp as a knife: "What do I want to do? I want you and your daughter to pay the price for what you did in your previous life!" She leaned close to Shen Ruorou and whispered, "Do you think I don't know that in your previous life, you and Liu teamed up to trick me into handing over the warehouse key, and then coaxed me into marrying that scumbag Li Xiu, and finally framed me for adultery and let me die under the stick?"
Shen Ruorou was so frightened that her face turned pale and she stepped back repeatedly: "You...you know everything?"
"I know much more than you think." Shen Weiwan sneered, "So, cousin, I advise you and Liu to keep yourselves in check, otherwise... the next ones to be ruined may be you."
Shen Ruorou looked at the cold light in Shen Weiwan's eyes and knew that she was not joking. She felt weak all over and slumped in the chair, tears sliding down silently. She knew that the good days for herself and her mother were really over.
Shen Weiwan looked at her distraught appearance, without a trace of pity in her heart. She would never forget the pain of her previous life. In this life, she not only wanted revenge, but also had to protect the general's mansion and live a decent life.
At this moment, Chun Tao came in and reported: "Miss, the Seventh Prince is here."
Shen Weiwan straightened her clothes and regained a calm smile on her face: "Please come in."
The seventh prince Xiao Yu walked in waving a folding fan, and when he saw Shen Ruorou there, he raised his eyebrows: "Oh? So the second lady is here too."
Shen Ruorou quickly stood up and saluted, not daring to look Xiao Yu in the eye.
Xiao Yu ignored her and walked straight to Shen Weiwan: "I heard that Miss Shen wants to thoroughly investigate the accounts in the mansion?"
Shen Weiwan smiled slightly: "Yes, the accounts in the mansion are in a mess, it's time to sort them out."
Xiao Yu looked at the cunning in her eyes and couldn't help but smile: "Do you need my help?"
Shen Weiwan blinked: "It would be great if Your Highness could 'cure' the Minister of Personnel's illness."
Xiao Yu laughed out loud: "This is easy!" He glanced at Shen Ruorou beside him and deliberately raised his voice, "However, if some people know what's good for them, they will hand over their things obediently, and we can save ourselves the trouble."
Shen Ruorou trembled violently when she heard this. She knew that the Seventh Prince was warning her and her mother. It seemed that they really had no way out.
Shen Weiwan looked at Xiao Yu, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. No matter what his purpose was in helping her, at least now, he was on her side.
"Thank you very much, Your Highness." Shen Weiwan bowed.
Xiao Yu waved his hand: "It's a piece of cake. By the way, I asked someone to buy some sweet cakes from West Street. Would you like to try some?"
Shen Weiwan took the sugar cake, feeling sweet in her heart. It seems that today, not only can I watch Liu and Shen Ruorou's jokes, but I can also eat delicious sugar cakes. What a wonderful day.
Meanwhile, at the Minister of Personnel's residence, Liu was kneeling before her brother, crying, hoping he would come forward to help her. But the Minister shook his head, saying he couldn't protect himself and told her to fend for herself. Liu looked at her brother's cold face and knew her last hope was gone.
Back at the General's Mansion, Liu was furious when she saw Shen Ruorou's distraught look. "Waste! What a waste!" she scolded again, "You can't even handle a man, and now even your uncle won't help us!"
Shen Ruorou just cried and couldn’t say a word.
Liu looked at her daughter and thought of Shen Weiwan's smug look, gnashing her teeth in hatred. "No, I can't just let this go!" She stood up suddenly, "Shen Weiwan, just wait! I won't let you have it easy!"
But what she didn't know was that Shen Weiwan had already laid a net, waiting for her and Shen Ruorou to fall into it. And the support of the Seventh Prince Xiao Yu made Shen Weiwan even more powerful.
A new storm is quietly brewing in the General's Mansion. Liu and Shen Ruoruo's plans are about to be completely thwarted. Shen Weiwan knows that her road to revenge has just begun.
