When Shen Qiyin discovered that the Shen family's house was on fire, she sent Chu Si to check the surrounding area.
She wasn't sure if Li Zhenzhu was still alive; she was just trying her luck.
While we're at it, let's see if there are any clues about arson.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhenzhu actually escaped!
On the fourth day, he took her over the wall to the neighboring courtyard to avoid being caught in the fire if they went around behind the Zhuijin Hall. After taking her to a safe place, he left first.
Although Li Zhenzhu didn't know him, she guessed that the "girl" he mentioned could only be Shen Qiyin.
Coming to her senses, Li Zhenzhu looked at Shen Cang, who was in so much pain he was almost doubled over, grabbed his hair, grinned maliciously, patted his face, and said, "There's still a long way to go, let's take it slow."
She forcefully shook off his hand, and Shen Cang's head slammed to the ground with a "bang," making him see stars.
Li Zhenzhu shook her fingers, and a few strands of hair fluttered down.
She had no intention of filing a complaint with the authorities against Shen Cang for murder.
It's just being thrown into jail and executed in the autumn; what's the point?
She had a better way to deal with him...
The fire at the Shen family's house burned for almost the entire night.
Overnight, Zhuijintang was completely reduced to ruins.
Madam Shen was burned alive in the fire.
The neighbors couldn't help but sigh when they heard this.
The Shen family used to be quite large and prosperous, but who would have thought that in less than a year, it would turn into this state?
Some have passed away, and others have been imprisoned.
Apart from Shen Qiyin, only two other members of the younger generation are still alive.
One was Shen Ruyin, who lived a secluded life in the Qin family mansion.
One is Shen Yaozu, whose whereabouts are unknown and whose fate is uncertain.
When Shen Cang sold the estate that day, he even forgot about the existence of his crazy son. It was during the handover between the steward and the buyer that Shen Yaozu ran away on his own.
From then on, he disappeared without a trace.
At that time, Shen Cang was exhausted. It was unclear whether he lacked the energy to look for people or simply didn't want to.
It is worth mentioning that, like Shen Yaozu, Sun Shi, who was originally locked in Ningxiang Courtyard, has also disappeared.
During last night's fire, someone took advantage of the chaos to rescue her.
Shen Xiyin only discovered it early the next morning.
Xianglan then asked her, "Miss, who do you think rescued her?"
"I don't know." Shen Qiyin was genuinely clueless. "But it doesn't matter."
All she knew was that everyone does everything with a purpose, and as long as there is a purpose, there will definitely be action.
Just wait.
But she didn't expect the other party to act so quickly!
That day, she went to the General's Mansion to treat Huo Chenzhou's illness. After the treatment, she was about to leave when Huo Fanshuang called her back.
"Please wait a moment, my lord, I have something to tell you."
Shen Qiyin raised her eyebrows: "Speak."
Huo Fanshuang raised her hand: "Please, may I have a word with you in private?"
At the same time, Shen Qiyin heard the system say, "Based on the personality of the task target detected by the system, the host's method is unlikely to succeed. We suggest you don't go through the trouble of doing something unnecessary."
Shen Qiyin originally didn't want to "borrow" it, but after hearing the system say that, she changed her mind.
curious.
What kind of trouble has Huo Fanshuang gotten herself into this time?
She followed her to her courtyard and met Madam Sun in a side room.
She hadn't seen her for a long time.
Sun seemed like a completely different person, though there were still faint traces of her former appearance in her brows.
She was emaciated, her clothes hung loosely on her body, and her sallow complexion and cloudy eyes made her look more than ten years older than before.
Her hair, which had been disheveled for days, was now neatly combed, but her once jet-black hair was now completely white.
When Shen Xiyin entered the house, Madam Sun was eating.
The days of imprisonment had made her almost forget how to live a normal life. She seemed to be out of her mind, and she didn't even use chopsticks. Instead, she just grabbed food with her hands and stuffed it into her mouth randomly.
She ate ravenously, as if she hadn't eaten in a long time.
Shen Qiyin stood there watching, neither speaking nor moving.
Xianglan frowned.
She looked down at Huo Fanshuang beside her, her eyes unusually devoid of their usual carefree smile.
It was her!
She kidnapped the lady and then brought the young lady to see her. What does that mean?
Huo Fanshuang looked at Madam Sun, who was enjoying her meal, and frowned slightly. She said to Shen Qiyin in a serious tone, "I know you have a knot in your heart, but no matter what, she is your mother."
"She gave you life."
"For that reason alone, even if she did something to wrong you, you should forgive her."
Huo Fanshuang believes that no daughter could remain unmoved upon seeing her mother in this state.
She thought Shen Qiyin would break down in tears, or vent her anger... In any case, it would be nothing more than accusations against Sun Shi and an outpouring of emotions.
To her surprise, she just stared at him expressionlessly, as if she were looking at someone who had nothing to do with her.
Her reaction to those words was just two words.
"Then?"
Huo Fanshuang was stunned: "Is this your reaction?!"
Shen Qiyin twitched the corner of her mouth: "Otherwise what?"
"She is your mother!"
"I never said she was my father, what are you yelling about?" She looked at the other person with a ridiculous expression: "You took her away from the Shen family so I could thank you?"
"If I really want to save her, do you think I wouldn't have a way?"
Huo Fanshuang shook her head: "I'm not doubting your abilities, but I know that you just can't get over your own mental hurdle."
