After giving her contraceptives, she went mad, criticizing the prince for turning white-haired overn

Ye Huai frowned slightly, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.

Why would Shen Ning suddenly become interested in the events surrounding Shen Rou's birth?

He always felt that his cousin was hiding a lot of things.

"Very well." He pondered for a moment.

"When your eldest sister was born, your grandmother did go to the Marquis's mansion to take care of her. I'm afraid only she can remember these old stories clearly."

His tone softened: "You haven't set foot in the Ye family home all these years. If Grandmother knew you were going to visit her, she would be overjoyed."

A bitter smile appeared on Shen Ning's lips.

"I was ignorant before and easily believed others' attempts to sow discord."

She looked up and stared directly at Ye Huai: "Cousin, there's one more thing I want to ask."

"Please feel free to speak."

Why did my cousin choose to assist Prince Chen?

Ye Huai paused slightly in his teacup.

He keenly noticed that Shen Ning's expression was unusual.

Why would a little girl care about such things?

Why did my cousin ask that?

"His Highness Prince Chen is devoted to the world and possesses outstanding virtue. If he is able to inherit the throne in the future, he will surely be a wise and benevolent ruler."

"Since I am an official in the court, I am naturally willing to follow such a wise ruler."

Shen Ning gently shook her head, her gaze calm: "By doing this, cousin, you will only push the Ye family into an abyss."

She paused, then lowered her voice even further: "Prince Chen... it's not what you think."

Ye Huai looked on in surprise.

Shen Ning is a young lady who usually doesn't care about politics. Why would she say such a thing today?

"Why do you say that, cousin?"

"My cousin must be wondering why I have such a strong hostility towards Prince Chen."

Shen Ning looked up and stared directly at him. "That day at Putuo Temple, I saw with my own eyes those bandits wearing military boots with black eagle markings on them."

Ye Huai's body visibly stiffened: "Military boots? Black Hawk insignia?"

"My cousin should know what this mark represents."

At this moment, Ye Huai's eyes suddenly became deep and serious.

The Black Hawk Mark is a unique symbol of the King of Chen's secret guards.

Very few people know about this.

Judging from Shen Ning's expression, she clearly already knew the truth.

If what she said is true, then those bandits at Putuo Temple were a play directed and acted by Prince Chen himself.

No wonder, no wonder there have been rumors in the capital lately that Prince Chen was injured and poisoned while saving Shen Ning.

Today, Shen Ning publicly clarified...

"Cousin, are you sure you're not mistaken? Is it really the Black Hawk Mark?"

"If you don't believe me, you can send someone to Putuo Temple to verify."

"Many villagers along the way have seen those bandits," Shen Ning said with certainty.

Whether what I said is true or false can be easily verified.

"I'm telling you this today because I don't want my cousin to be kept in the dark, and I don't want him to have misjudged and trusted the wrong people, dragging the entire Ye family into danger."

"I understand." Ye Huai looked at her with a complicated expression.

"Ning'er, you're so different from before."

"People always have to grow up." Shen Ning smiled faintly.

"Both the Shen and Ye families hold military power, and my cousin holds an official position in the court. I urge you to think carefully before you act. Don't let your grandfather's life's work be ruined in an instant."

"Thank you for the reminder, cousin." Ye Huai changed the subject, "How have you been at the Shen residence? I just heard you mention that Cousin Wan is ill?"

Shen Ning pursed her lips gently and remained silent for a moment.

"My father is far away on the border, and the family relationships are complicated, indeed..."

Shen Ning hesitated, but ultimately swallowed the secret of Shen Rou's background.

"I understand, cousin." Ye Huai said solemnly.

"Since you trust the Ye family, come to our residence tomorrow. No matter what, the Ye family will definitely stand up for you!"

"My uncle is away fighting, but his children are suffering injustice in Yanjing. Our Ye family cannot sit idly by."

"Cousin, you must trust the Ye family."

Shen Ning slowly stood up and nodded: "I believe in the Ye family, and I also believe in my cousin."

"It's getting late, so Ning'er will take her leave now."

"I will definitely visit my maternal grandparents in person tomorrow."

Ye Huai nodded, his gaze falling on Shen Ning, as if he felt she was not like a woman her age.

Especially the matter of Prince Chen.

After leaving the private room, Shen Ning went to the next room to find Shen Feng, only to find the room empty.

Bai Zhi stepped forward: "Miss, is the Second Young Master afraid that you will urge him to return to the manor, so he secretly slipped away again?"

Shen Ning's face darkened: "Did you see him go downstairs?"

"This servant has none." Bai Zhi

Shen Ning was annoyed, feeling both angry and furious at the thought of her good-for-nothing brother.

"Gambling, gambling, gambling! All you ever do is gamble! You won't be satisfied until you've completely ruined the Shen family!"

"Alright, let's go back to the manor first."

Although Shen Feng wasn't allowed to go home today, at least his conflict with the Ning'an Marquis's residence was prevented.

I also met my cousin Ye Huai, so the trip was worthwhile.

Ye Huai came out of the side room: "Cousin, do you need me to take you home?"

"No need. If my cousin escorts me back to my residence, it will probably cause unnecessary trouble," Shen Ning said.

"I will visit the Ye residence tomorrow."

"Alright." Ye Huai nodded.

"I will definitely investigate carefully what my cousin said today. I will also carefully consider the future of the Ye family."

"it is good."

After saying goodbye, Shen Ning led Bai Zhi down the stairs.

Before the master and servant had even left Wangjing Tower, they suddenly saw a group of black-clad guards rushing aggressively up to the second floor.

The leading guard, wearing iron armor and with sharp eyes, was none other than Ye Xiao, a trusted confidant of Regent Xie Linyuan.

"Miss, those people went to the private room where Young Master Ye was just now!"

"It seems to be Young Master Chongye who went."

Shen Ning's heart tightened.

Night Owl only obeys Xie Linyuan's orders.

Could it be that Xie Linyuan is also at Wangjing Tower?

Rumors circulated throughout Yanjing that the owner behind Wangjing Tower was someone of great importance, someone even the most powerful and influential people in the capital couldn't afford to offend.

But Shen Ning knew that the true owner of Wangjing Tower was Xie Linyuan.

If Xie Linyuan comes today, then my cousin will be in danger.

Xie Linyuan was reborn, so he naturally knew that Ye Huai was a confidant of Prince Chen.

She must also remember the time in her past life when Ye Huai broke into the Regent's Palace, wanting to elope with her.

But at that time, she and Ye Huai had not escaped Xie Linyuan's grasp.

Shen Ning remembered that the night Xie Linyuan led his troops to catch up with her and Ye Huai, Ye Huai was imprisoned, beaten black and blue, and almost lost his life...

Thinking of this, Shen Ning could no longer care about anything else: "Bai Zhi, come upstairs with me!"

"But Miss, those people look so fierce..."

"They're Xie Linyuan's people." Shen Ning lifted her skirt and quickly walked back.

"My cousin is in his hands; his life is probably in danger!"

When Shen Ning rushed back to the second floor, Night Owl had already taken Ye Huai away.

Shen Ning was about to chase after him when she was stopped by a tall guard.

"Does the young lady intend to obstruct the prince from carrying out his mission?"

"I wouldn't dare," Shen Ning said, trying to remain calm.

"I just want to ask you, sir, why did the Prince want to arrest Young Master Ye?"

The guard sneered, "Our prince never needs to explain what he does."

"A word of advice, young lady: if you want to live, leave now!"
