……
Qianli Kingdom, Prime Minister's Mansion.
As soon as Shen Zhaowan received the memory, a sharp dagger was pressed against her neck.
Shen Zhaowan shrank her neck in fear, and her eyes immediately became moist.
But the man holding the dagger showed no mercy and even pushed it forward an inch.
"If you move again, I'll kill you."
Shen Zhaowan obediently did not move, and used her peripheral vision to try to see who was coming.
Her voice sounded familiar.
After a few breaths, Shen Zhaowan finally figured out who the person was.
"...Sister? Is that you?"
The person who came was none other than Shen Zhaowan's nominal sister, the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion - Shen Mingyu.
After being recognized, Shen Zhaowan showed no sign of removing the dagger from her neck.
Shen Mingyu had no intention of hiding anything. He put the dagger against his neck, turned around and stood opposite Shen Zhaowan.
She was wearing a blue dress with patterns that were no longer popular in the capital. She stared at Shen Zhaowan with a frighteningly cold gaze and uttered words that were unacceptable.
"Get married, you go for me."
Shen Zhaowan stared with her beautiful eyes, tears in her eyes, "Sister, how can you say such a thing? That's your engagement."
Shen Mingyu seemed a little angry, and he put more force on his hands, "I'm not negotiating with you, if you don't go, you and your mother will lose their lives."
These words seemed to shock Shen Zhaowan, and she trembled with fear.
"Sister, this is the order of His Majesty. If you do this, you are committing the crime of deceiving the emperor."
Shen Mingyu: "Even if it's His Majesty, so what? Can he still decide my life? Besides, how can I marry a fool?"
"What I want is a lifelong partner! How can a prince give me this?"
Shen Zhaowan was so shocked that she was speechless.
"Sister, you weren't like this before..."
Shen Mingyu's eyes flickered, and then he said, "In the past, you still mention the past to me? Do you still want to bully me and insult me?"
"Don't even think about calling the maid over now, or else I will kill her too."
How could she be the Shen Mingyu who lived a cowardly life in the past?
Shen Zhaowan put away her thoughts and tried to persuade her anxiously, "Sister, that's not the case."
Outside the door, the maid called out, "Miss, are you okay? Do you need me to come in?"
Shen Zhaowan thought of Shen Mingyu's threat and her eyes at the moment, and immediately said, "It's okay, I'm reading the picture book!"
The maid outside didn't think about coming in again. Shen Zhaowan turned her gaze to Shen Mingyu again, "Sister, what's wrong with you? You can tell Daddy."
"Don't be so hypocritical to me, remember what I said!"
After saying this, Shen Mingyu quickly climbed out the window and left.
No one was alarmed from beginning to end.
Seeing the person leave, Shen Zhaowan put away her panic and calmly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
I sneered inwardly.
Has her good sister changed her mind?
She looked at her neck in the bronze mirror. There were obvious knife marks, but the skin was not broken.
Shen Zhaowan pressed it again, and it looked even redder, which was a bit shocking against her fair skin.
"Hongxia? I want to go see my father and mother."
Shen Zhaowan shouted outside. It was just past noon and Shen Zhaowan was alone in the room with her maid guarding outside.
Now hearing Shen Zhaowan's shouting, he rushed in immediately.
The maid noticed the abnormality on Shen Zhaowan's neck at a glance, "Miss, what happened? What happened to you?"
Hongxia was smart and noticed that the young lady's clothes were still tidy. They were guarding outside the door, but the window was open, so the bad guys might have come in through here.
"Miss, apply the medicine first."
"It's not serious. My sister didn't do anything cruel. I have something urgent to do and need to go find my father."
The maids knew who it was as soon as they heard it!
I was extremely surprised in my heart. Why would that person Su Lai An Jing do something to hurt others this time?
As they were talking, Shen Zhaowan hurried out.
Her yard was not far from her father's and mother's yard.
When they went there, the two of them happened to be in the same place.
"Dad, mother!"
The sudden voice startled the two of them, and when they saw Shen Zhaowan's uncovered scars, they became even more furious.
Father Shen: "Who hurt you? Tell Daddy."
It is outrageous that someone dares to hurt people in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Shen Zhaowan's mother was Shen's father's concubine. The servants usually called her Madam Yu. She looked at Shen Zhaowan with worry on her mature and beautiful face. She held Shen Zhaowan in her arms and checked her wound.
"Master, Wanwan is injured like this, you must capture her."
One was his most beloved daughter, and the other was his beloved wife. The Prime Minister immediately comforted Shen Zhaowan and asked if she had seen the person clearly.
Shen Zhaowan told him everything.
"Daddy, don't blame me. I don't love you, but please don't be angry with me, okay?" Shen Zhaowan was worried and pleaded for Shen Mingyu, "I must have been deceived by a villain."
Father Shen: "She disregarded family ties and hurt you like this, and you still speak for her?"
At this moment, the court doctor also came over. Her neck looked scary, but there was nothing wrong with her. However, the other two insisted on doing so.
The court doctor took a quick look and took out the best medicine, "Apply it a few times and it will be back to normal."
Mrs. Yu, who was standing by, barely stopped crying.
Shen Zhaowan met their worried gazes, pondered for a while and said, "Dad, I said this because when she came in and put the dagger against my neck, I didn't hear anything, and when she left, her movements were neat, but... I didn't hire a martial artist for my sister. When did she learn it? That's why I wondered if someone else had deceived her."
Father Shen frowned, his face serious.
This is a serious matter. A girl in the boudoir has quietly acquired martial arts skills and has not hired a martial arts master. That is extremely audacious of her to interact with outsiders.
Madam Yu scolded Shen Zhaowan again, "Wanwan, you still care about your sister now, are you stupid? She treats you as her sister?"
Shen Zhaowan could only cry out in grievance, "Mother, after all, she is my sister."
"Master, did you hear that? Wanwan just said that the eldest lady threatened Wanwan. Your Majesty's golden words, how could she decide to change them?"
Father Shen was so angry. How could his eldest daughter, who used to be very withdrawn, do such a thing now? With the comparison of Shen Zhaowan here, Father Shen was even more annoyed with Shen Mingyu.
Immediately, someone was sent to bring her over.
Shen Zhaowan thought, now, the person cannot be found, and there will be even more headaches next.
Just as Shen Zhaowan thought, the person who went out came back soon, "Master, the eldest lady is not here. Have you searched the whole yard?"
"Inside the mansion? Find them all for me."
Father Shen was so angry that he wanted to smash the cup, but when he looked at the mother and daughter beside him, he retracted the cup and slammed it heavily on the table.
Everyone waited in the house for a long time and got a surprising result.
"Master, I have searched everywhere, but there is no sign of the young lady."
The guard lowered his head, a little scared.
After hearing the news, Shen's father finally couldn't hold back his anger.
"Find him for me! Don't come back if you can't find him."
Madam Yu let go of Shen Zhaowan and stood up. "Don't make it public. The eldest lady's reputation is important. Keep a low profile in your search."
"Yes, Madam Yu."
After the people left, Madam Yu walked to Father Shen's side and gently stroked his chest with her fair hands, "Master, don't get angry and make yourself sick. No matter how angry you are, you must take care of yourself! I want you to stay with me all the time. If you get sick from anger, I will be worried. The three of us still need you."
Madam Yu was originally favored by Mr. Shen, otherwise she would not have been promoted from concubine to co-wife and favored for so many years.
Shen Zhaowan has an older brother named Shen Xuan, who was born later than Shen Mingyu.
Since Madam Yu's first child was a son, she was successfully promoted through her offspring.
After hearing what Madam Yu said, his expression softened.
Madam Yu continued, "Master, don't worry. Maybe the young lady is out playing somewhere and got lost. We may be able to find her after some time. We just need to wait."
"That's all I can do. I hope he can still think about this family and his mother."
In the mansion, the power of housekeeper was equally shared between the first lady, who was Shen's father's original wife, and Madam Yu. Originally, Madam Yu didn't want any of this. It was enough for her to have Shen's father's love and protection. Anyway, he only had these three children, and she already had a son and a daughter, so she didn't want to work hard all day.
She was not originally a housekeeper's daughter, and did not know much about this. She was sold by her family in order to get money for their son to marry a wife. She happened to meet the young Mr. Shen. She saw that he was good-looking and upright. Although he was already married, she was willing to give up. It would be better to be a concubine than to be sold to a brothel.
Thanks to her life-saving grace and experience, she gained the favor of Shen's father, and because she was beautiful and considerate, she finally entered the mansion.
At that time, Mr. Shen and his original wife were still treating each other with respect, but because of the matter of the children, the house was always depressing and suffocating.
I heard that Shen Mingyu had a twin sister at the time, and his original wife wanted to replace the twin with a boy from outside, but was discovered during the execution. The twin sister was accidentally suffocated to death by her wife because she was worried that she would make a sound.
This matter is a taboo in the mansion and no one talks about it.
For unknown reasons, the lady was unable to give birth to a child for several years and gradually became a believer in Buddhism.
Her only child did not receive her careful care and seemed to not exist in the mansion.
Shen Zhaowan thought of this, looked at the worried expressions of the two people, and just sat there quietly.
There is no turning back on this matter, and Shen Mingyu has already hidden somewhere unknown.
After she is married off, Shen Mingyu will gradually become active in the capital, and even make friends with the princes, generals and so on!
Wave after wave of guards came back to report that they had searched the west and south of the capital, but still found nothing.
Until dark, even Shen Xuan, who was studying at the academy, came back, but there was still no good news.
Even Mrs. Yu, who had remained calm at first, became nervous.
If Shen Mingyu can't be found, what should her Wanwan do? What should the master do?
This is deceiving the king!
