Chapter 291 Return
The next evening, in the guest house of the Jade Buddha Temple, Shen Shuyi sat at the window, looking at the familiar scenery outside, lost in thought.
At this moment, Qin Xuerong was in Shen Jingyu's room, and was so angry that she went crazy.
"Sister Yu, didn't you say Shen Shuyi would definitely die this time? Why did she come back unscathed?"
Qin Xuerong spoke in exasperation. God knew how disappointed she was when she saw Shen Shuyi and his men coming to her house at noon today.
Her son Lin Ge's life or death is still unknown, why is this bastard safe and sound!
Shen Jingyu's face was not looking good either. She did not expect that Shen Shuyi was so lucky that he could not only escape from His Highness's secret guards, but even escape from the Third Prince's hunting ground.
She is really... lucky!
"Speak up! There is no news about your brother right now, but that bitch Shen Shuyi is living such a comfortable life. Is Lin Ge'er your biological brother?"
Qin Xuerong is really going crazy now. She feels that Shen Shuyi is so difficult and weird that she can't control her uneasiness whenever she thinks of her.
Shen Jingyu raised her eyes and looked at her with cold eyes: "I am not a judge, and I cannot decide other people's life or death. If mother thinks I am useless, you can make your own plans."
This one sentence made Qin Xuerong speechless.
She fell into the chair, tears falling from her eyes drop by drop, crying harder and harder.
"What can mother do? Now your second brother is being laughed at, Zhenjie'er's reputation is ruined, and Lin'er's life and death are unknown! Mother is really scared to death..."
Qin Xuerong always felt that someone had laid a big net, and the net was tightening little by little, strangling her to the point where she couldn't breathe, but it kept her hanging like this, like a cat playing with a mouse.
Seeing her like this, Shen Jingyu's tone softened a bit: "She escaped once, but she won't escape a second time."
Qin Xuerong choked up and said, "But this time you have entered the game with your own body, and now you have been labeled as a disaster star. How can I not be anxious?"
"Don't worry, mother. His Highness won't let me down because of these things." Shen Jingyu stood up and walked to the window with a firm look on her face.
Qin Xuerong asked anxiously, "Really? Are you sure you can be the Eighth Prince's Consort?"
Shen Jingyu said slowly: "Don't worry, mother."
After hearing this, Qin Xuerong slowly breathed a sigh of relief. However, when she thought of Shen Shuyi's joyful look when they bumped into her head-on at noon today and called her mother, she felt a lump in her heart.

On the other side, Shen Shuyi sat by the window and waited patiently for a while.
Not long after, a black figure came quietly, and Jiang Li stood three meters behind Shen Shuyi.
"Jiang Li feels guilty for not being able to fulfill the young lady's entrustment." Jiang Li said in a deep voice.
Shen Shuyi turned around, looked at him, shook his head, and said softly: "Compared to Shen Jingyu's death, I am more happy that you can come back safely."
Jiang Li was not good at speaking, and was silent for a while, then said: "The news that the young lady asked me to spread has now spread, and everyone in the capital knows that the eldest young lady of the Shen family is infected with evil spirits. She is a calamity star, and anyone who gets close to her will be harmed by her."
Shen Shuyi nodded, looked at him and said, "How do you compare with Feng Bochang, the deputy commander in front of the palace?"
Jiang Li thought for a moment and said with certainty: "Jiang Li can beat him completely."
Hearing this, Shen Shuyi's eyes lit up a bit: "Qin Xuerong and Shen Jingyu gave me a big gift, so I naturally have to give something back."
"Please give your orders, young lady." Jiang Li responded.
Shen Shuyi said: "Today I ran into Deputy Commander Feng at the Jade Buddha Temple. This place is not far from the Shen family's manor. I want you to assassinate Feng Bochang and force him into the Shen family's manor after severely injuring him."
After saying that, Shen Shuyi handed the route map he had drawn long ago to Jiang Li and said in a gentle voice: "Shen Jingzhen is imprisoned there."
After Jiang Li looked at it carefully, he responded, "Don't worry, Miss."
Shen Shuyi said again: "She has always been in love with Deputy Commander Feng, so I will help them find a marriage."
Jiang Li didn't ask any more questions, and then he heard Shen Shuyi say: "Keep watching Shen Jinglin, and let me know if there is any new movement."
"Yes, Shen Jinglin is still here, and he doesn't have much money. He should join the army in the next few days."
Shen Shuyi raised his eyebrows: "In this case, we must fulfill his dream of fighting and killing the enemy."
Jiang Li immediately understood what Shen Shuyi meant: "Yes."
The next day, early in the morning.
Madam Shen sent someone to invite Shen Shuyi over. Madam Shen held a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, looked Shen Shuyi up and down, and said in a gentle voice: "You escaped death this time, it is your good fortune. Now that you are back, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Shen Shuyi said: "Thanks to grandma's care, Shuyi is doing well."
Madam Shen looked at the bruise on her forehead and said slowly, "Since you have returned, I will ask the master to take a look at you. Master Hongyi is not only good at magic, but also proficient in medicine."
"Yes, thank you grandma." Shen Shuyi knew clearly that the so-called treatment of injuries was fake, but checking whether there was any evil spirit was real.
Ever since leaving Old Madam Shen, Shen Shuyi has been thinking about it.
Shen Jingyu had always wanted to give herself this title. Now that she had not been able to get what she wanted and she had experienced a life-and-death experience, she naturally could not let her get away with it for nothing.
Not long after he walked out, Shen Shuyi ran into Master Hongyi head-on.
Hongyi was a disciple of Huaihai and a master who is very popular nowadays.
Most of the royal relatives could invite Master Huaihai, but the monks most often invited by ordinary officials and noble families were Hongyi and another monk.
Shen Shuyi raised his eyes and looked at the man in front of him. The man was in his thirties and looked quite young.
Now he is wearing a monk's robe and looks solemn.
Shen Shuyi looked at the man and didn't have much impression of him. After all, although she had lived in the Jade Buddha Temple for several years, the courtyards were separated and she could not come into contact with many monks.
Shen Shuyi saluted Hong from a distance, considering the possibility that Shen Jingyu had a backup plan.
Since she dared to propose to come to the Jade Buddha Temple to pray, she would definitely not just make arrangements along the way.
Now that her assassination plan has failed, what is she going to do in the Jade Buddha Temple?
And this Master Hongyi, can he be considered clean?
Hongyi returned a salute to Shen Shuyi, then said something to the monk beside him and walked away.
An hour later, the Shen family gathered in the main hall of the Jade Buddha Temple.
Because the entire Shen family was mobilized, the Buddhist temple sent Master Hongyi to meet them in person.
As soon as she saw Master Hongyi, Old Madam Shen seemed to have found her backbone, and hurriedly said, "Master, the Shen family has always been virtuous and kind, but recently strange things have happened frequently in the mansion, and I am bedridden. I hope the master can give me some advice."
"The old lady has a long life of fortune and luck, and the Shen family's luck has not yet ended. You don't have to worry." Hong Yi and Old Lady Shen spoke in a gentle voice.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shen finally smiled.
"To be honest, I invited a Taoist priest to my house, and he said that there was an evil spirit in my house. I was really worried, so I had no choice but to go to the Jade Buddha Temple and ask the master for guidance."
