"Second Miss, this servant was sent by Madam to Wutong Garden to take care of the Third Miss."

"If you continue to slander my innocence like this, don't blame me for reporting to the Old Madam!"

"Go ahead and do it," Shen Ning said coldly.

Baoqin, this maid, absolutely cannot stay by Shen Wan's side.

My younger sister, Shen Wan, is only fourteen years old and doesn't understand matters of the heart yet.

In her past life, it was these maids in her courtyard who instigated and instigated her, causing her to make one wrong step after another.

Looking back now, it was all just a conspiracy and scheme by the second and third wives.

Which of Shen Yue and Shen Ran wasn't envious of the marriage arranged by the Prince of Huainan?

The Prince of Huainan's family was of high social standing, and his heir, Xiao Ce, was an exceptionally talented individual in Yanjing.

The marriage to Shen Wan was arranged since childhood.

Shen Wan will be of marriageable age in a few months, after which she will discuss marriage with the Prince of Huainan.

The second and third wives would naturally not let such a good marriage fall into her lap.

In her previous life, after the Prince of Huainan's family broke off the engagement, the heir apparent, Xiao Ce, personally came to find Shen Wan.

But by then, Shen Wan had already been bewitched and was deeply in love with this doctor surnamed Rong.

She secretly eloped with him despite her family's objections.

Later, Xiao Ce married the eldest daughter of the Minister's family and doted on her to the extreme.

He became the most doting husband in the entire capital city.

Now that she has been given a second chance at life, she will never let her sister repeat the same mistakes.

Moreover, this Baoqin is not an honest man.

In her past life, she climbed into her second brother Shen Feng's bed, secretly became pregnant, and then used the child in her womb to threaten him.

This forced her second brother, Shen Feng, to take her as a concubine, and she also colluded with the second and third wives to bully the two sisters.

Inside the side room, Baoqin sensed something was wrong and tried to leave.

Bai Zhi strode forward, grabbed her collar, and began to tear it.

Shen Ning then helped Shen Wan up from the bed and took her to the next room to settle her in.

"Wan'er, stay here and don't go to see that filthy scene."

Shen Wan bit her thin lips, grabbed Shen Ning's wrist, and her eyes welled up with tears.

"Sister, when will Father come back? Wan'er can't hold on much longer."

"Father hasn't come back for seven or eight years. It's so cold in Wutong Garden, Wan'er. I'm freezing to death."

"Wan'er doesn't want to marry into the Prince of Huainan's mansion anymore."

"Why?" Shen Ning frowned slightly and reached out to hug her.

Shen Wan's body was extremely cold, and she was still shivering in her arms.

Since falling into the water, his condition has not improved at all.

"Wan'er is frail, just as Fourth Sister and Fifth Sister said... she is not a good match for the Prince of Huainan."

"Nonsense!" Shen Ning said coldly.

"This marriage was arranged between you and the Prince of Huainan since childhood, and no one can take it away from you."

"Wan'er, don't overthink it, your older sister is here."

In her past life, she believed Shen Rou's instigation and thought that Shen Wan disliked her and was unwilling to be close to Shen Wan.

Seeing her younger sister like this now, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

She is the younger sister who needs my protection.

"Wait for me here."

As Shen Ning spoke, she turned and went back to the previous room.

Seeing that Doctor Rong looked flustered and wanted to leave, she quickly stepped forward and slammed the door shut.

She raised her small face, her eyes showing no fear.

"Dr. Rong, Baoqin is a young virgin, and her body is very supple."

Doctor Rong's face was grim, a mixture of shame and anger on his face: "Second Miss, I was invited by the household to examine the Third Miss. Miss Baoqin is perfectly healthy; this action is truly inappropriate!"

"What's there to be afraid of?" Shen Ning asked with a smile playing on her lips.

"Baoqin comes from a respectable family. Now that you have seen her body, you may take her as a concubine."

"Don't worry, I will speak to my grandmother and ask her to be your concubine."

"Second Miss, you can't treat me like this!" Baoqin's voice trembled.

She struggled desperately, but she was no match for Bai Zhi in terms of size and strength.

Bai Zhi suddenly ripped off the red mandarin duck-patterned bodice.

A pair of white rabbit-like bodies trembled and were exposed to the air, prompting Doctor Rong to glance at them.

Because Shen Ning was present, Doctor Rong pretended to cover his face with his sleeve, feigning a gentlemanly demeanor.

"Miss, you're all naked. Sister Baoqin is so fair-skinned."

Bai Zhi excitedly ran to Shen Ning's side.

Shen Ning looked at Bao Qin without any hesitation, then glanced at Doctor Rong who was pretending to cover his eyes.

She went straight to him and pulled down his sleeve.

"Dr. Rong, stop pretending."

"Please, Miss Shen, allow me to leave!"

Shen Ning laughed smugly.

"What's the rush?"

"Isn't Dr. Rong the most skilled in gynecology? Why don't you examine Baoqin to see if she's a virgin? So you don't end up marrying a used woman into the family."

"You..." Doctor Rong's face turned red as he reached out to open the door, but Shen Ning held it firmly in place.

"Miss Shen, you are a young lady yourself, how can you be so shameless? Please let me out!"

Shen Ning lowered her voice and spoke softly.

"Either way, Baoqin will be yours sooner or later, so what's wrong with taking a second look?"

"We are the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, Doctor Rong should not even entertain the idea."

"If the Crown Prince of Huainan finds out that his fiancée is being targeted by a gambler... has Doctor Rong considered how he would rather die?"

Shen Ning leaned forward slightly, her voice even colder.

"Does Dr. Rong really think I don't know your background?"

"What kind of doctor is he? He's just a gambler!"

"You are from Yuzhou in Jiangnan, living at No. 38 Liuxiang Lane. You have a wife, a three-year-old son, and a two-year-old daughter. You also owe a large gambling debt to Wangjinglou. Am I right?"

Doctor Rong's pupils contracted, and he stared at her in horror.

"How...how did you know?"

"I, Rong, have never dared to harbor any improper thoughts toward General Shen's daughter!"

How I know is not important.

"The important question is, do you want to take Baoqin as a concubine?"

Shen Ning chuckled softly as she spoke.

"How about I give you another idea?"

"How about I take Baoqin as a concubine, then sell her to pay off your gambling debts?"

Dr. Rong was momentarily speechless. The person carrying the zither was quite good-looking and could indeed fetch a good price.

But Shen Ning's kind of thinking sent chills down his spine.

Shen Ning doesn't consider herself a good person, at least not in her past life.

At this moment, Baoqin was curled up on the ground. When she tried to pick up her clothes to cover her body, Baizhi snatched them away.

"Bai Zhi, let's go."

"Let Doctor Rong have a good talk with Sister Baoqin."

After Shen Ning finished speaking, she left the room with Bai Zhi.

After leaving the room, Shen Ning leaned down and whispered in Bai Zhi's ear.

"Go to the Waterside Pavilion and the old lady's courtyard, and tell her..."

Bai Zhi looked startled. "Miss, will those people believe me?"

Shen Ning said, "Don't worry, Madam Yu and Madam Zhao know that there is some discord between me and Sister Shen Wan."

Bai Zhi nodded: "This servant will go right away."

After Bai Zhi left, Shen Ning went to the Wutong Garden and found some dead wood to take into Shen Wan's room.

After she lit the dry wood, she helped Shen Wan up from the bed and sat her down by the fire.

"Sister." Shen Wan's eyes were still red.

The fear in her eyes had not yet faded. She sat on the bench, dressed in thin clothes, looking timid and submissive.

Shen Ning used to be unwilling to say a word to her, so why is she so concerned about her today?

Shen Ning walked over, sat down next to her, and carefully draped her own red cloak over her shoulders.

"Wan'er, Father will come back. He hasn't abandoned us."

"Our father is a great hero who protects our country."

"Mm." Shen Wan pursed her thin lips and nodded gently.

About fifteen minutes later, hurried footsteps could be heard outside Wutong Garden.

A short while later, Madam Yu's voice came from outside the courtyard.

"The Third Miss is currently engaged, and given what she has done with Doctor Rong, it seems her engagement to the Prince of Huainan is doomed!"
