It was precisely because she uncovered their plot that they hardened their hearts, wanting to ensure she would never speak again.
That's why that bastard had the opportunity to take advantage of her body and do some stupid things that deserved a beating.
Huo Fanshuang managed to finish speaking before collapsing completely from the excruciating pain.
But even from those hesitant words, Huo Chenzhou understood the whole story.
This confirmed his earlier guess.
Huo Xiaoyue...
She really isn't his biological sister!
As for the fact that the mastermind behind it all was actually his second uncle, he really hadn't expected that.
Although the relationship between the two branches of the Huo family cannot be described as completely separate, it has always been considered harmonious and close.
Although his second uncle and his father were not born of the same mother, he never expected that they would do such a bad thing behind his back!
Although Huo Chenzhou was a gentleman, he was never blindly loyal or filial. Since the other party had tripped them up so much, who cared whether he was their second uncle or maternal uncle? Turning against them was the right thing to do.
These things are fine for Shen Qiyin to just watch from the sidelines; she shouldn't get involved.
As originally agreed, she was supposed to take Huo Wanqing with her to prevent Su Mengdie from plotting against her again, but Xiao Yan informed her that "Su Mengdie is dead."
"...Dead?! Dead?!"
"Um."
"How did he die?"
"When the carriage was halfway there, the horses suddenly went berserk and charged down the cliff."
Shen Qiyin: "..."
She guessed that, given his personality, he would most likely make a move on Su Mengdie, but she never expected him to do it in such a way that he could completely back down.
As expected of him.
Sitting in the carriage on the way to Guangrentang, Shen Qiyin told Xiao Yan about Ren Dong's background. After listening, he said, "Okay, I will remember to have someone investigate."
This concerns the past and future of honeysuckle, so it's always good to be careful.
Thinking of something, Xiao Yan tightened his grip on Shen Qiyin's hand and said, "There may be some unrest in the city recently. Just pretend you didn't hear any rumors."
"If you have any doubts, you can come and ask me directly, instead of overthinking it yourself."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qiyin's eyelashes trembled slightly.
His explanation gave her the feeling that he was about to do something big.
Is she overthinking it?
After delivering the person to Guangrentang, Xiao Yan seemed to have other matters to attend to, so he left first.
Just as Shen Qiyin was about to speak with Xianglan, Si Tunan rushed over in a flurry, urgently saying to her, "Second Master, Second Master! Please come with me immediately, it's a matter of life and death!"
Seeing this, Shen Qiyin didn't bother to ask any further questions, picked up her medicine box, and left with Si Tunan.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I drove them to their destination.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley. After they got off, they walked for a while before arriving at the place Stunan was taking her to.
It was a very dilapidated little courtyard, but it was surprisingly well-maintained.
Sturnan pulled her into the house, saying as they walked, "Madam wasn't feeling well yesterday, and when I came to see her today, I was surprised to find she had developed a high fever and was starting to talk nonsense."
"I can see she's having trouble breathing, Second Master, is she going to burn to death?!"
"You should take a look at the lady right away."
He seemed to still remember the "instructions" Shen Qiyin gave him on the day they first met. As he spoke, he took out money from his sleeve and said, "I only have this much silver. If it's not enough, I'll deduct it from my wages tomorrow."
Shen Qiyin didn't say anything, but looked down at the woman on the kang, his gaze freezing.
