The others nodded in agreement and began to explain, "They committed suicide not because they were strict with themselves."
"Young lady, you don't know, those people are assassins."
"If we fail to complete the mission or are captured, we will die."
Death squad...
This is an existence that Shen Qiyin had never encountered in her previous life.
But after listening to them talk, she roughly understood that such a rare person could not be controlled by Shen Nianyin, a woman who rarely left her home.
Thinking of something, she looked up at Xiao Yan, seeking confirmation: "Does Shen Nianyin have someone backing her?"
"Um."
"Do you know who it is?"
"I don't know." The Marquis of Wu'an's residence wasn't his primary concern. "But if you want to know, I can investigate."
"No need for that."
She had originally thought that if he knew, she would just ask, but there was no need to waste the time and energy to specifically look it up.
It doesn't matter who it is. Shen Nianyin is doomed sooner or later. If the person behind her wants to stand up for her, she'll accept the challenge.
Xiao Yan had important matters to attend to and needed to return to the city. Shen Qiyin thought that since she had already come all this way, she would gather some herbs before going back, so she did not accompany him and only took Xianglan and Chu Si into the mountains.

"Oh, then I'm sorry..."
"I only threw her into the well; throwing feces on her was the young master's order."
"..."
Xiao Hanyu, how many more surprises does he have that she doesn't know about?
After taking a few steps, Shen Qiyin asked again, "What about that monkey? Is it really like Wei Zhao said, that it came by accident?"
"Oh, it was our young master who ordered it to be caught and thrown there." Chu Si said with a hint of pride, "The young master said that being pushed into a well by a monkey is more infuriating and frustrating than being pushed into a well by an unknown person."
Shen Xiyin listened with amazement.
Good, good, good. No wonder he's the man she's set her sights on; he's got a whole bunch of terrible ideas.
The three chatted and gathered herbs as they passed a fork in the road. Suddenly, Shen Qiyin stopped in her tracks. Not far away, she saw a person covered in blood lying under a tree, his life hanging in the balance.
Chu Si's gaze suddenly sharpened: "That is..."
