The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

Ning Wanqin and Ruan Fei were both quite excited.

Because it was the first time they had truly witnessed Shen Zhi'an's portrayal of a strong female lead, and this was exactly what the two of them longed for and pursued.

"Sister Shen Zhian is truly extraordinary."

"That's right. Shen Zhian's husband used to be quite promising, but he came home injured and became so dejected. The whole family has to rely on Shen Zhian to manage things. To be honest, I really feel sorry for Shen Zhian for marrying such a person!"

"I also feel sorry for Sister Shen Zhian. A strong woman like her could easily marry into a noble family, but the person she married is so pathetic and despicable. It's truly... a heart full of sincerity wasted!"

……

While the two were chatting cautiously, Shen Zhian had finished everything and quickly returned, apologizing, "My two sisters, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"I wonder what brought you two here today? Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"If you have any questions, just say so!"

Shen Zhian's generous manner made Ning Wanqin and Ruan Fei feel even better, and their respect for Shen Zhian grew even stronger.

Without further ado, he explained his purpose.

"Sister Shen Zhi'an, it's like this..."

Ruan Fei began to recount the events that had occurred over the past period, emphasizing the current predicament and the efforts to recruit and persuade Zhang Shi to defect.

Finally, they explained their purpose for visiting.

"Firstly, I would like to ask Sister Shen Zhian to persuade your husband to serve in the army."

"Secondly, I would like to ask Sister Shen Zhian to sponsor some money so that I can use it to win over Zhang Shi."

"Thirdly, I wanted to ask Sister Shen Zhian for some advice. General Shen Moyan has been killed by the Grand Commander and is now ignoring me. I don't know what to do."

After listening attentively, Shen Zhian pondered for a moment before decisively giving his answer.

"Actually, these things aren't difficult."

"In my opinion, we only need to do one thing well, and all the current difficulties can be resolved."

Ruan Fei and Ning Wanqin were overjoyed: "Please enlighten us, elder sister!"

"It's hardly an instruction!" Shen Zhian was secretly delighted, but his face remained calm and composed. He said, "In my opinion, although these things are complicated, as long as you do one thing well, the rest will fall into place!"

Seeing Ning Wanqin and Ruan Fei casting questioning glances at him again, Shen Zhian felt a surge of satisfaction, but still calmly replied, "All we need to do is turn General Zhang Shi against us!"

Ning Wanqin and Ruan Fei were unsure whether they had thought it through or not, but now that Shen Zhian had said this, they were both quite excited and started to speak.

"Yes, as long as we can win over General Zhang Shi, everything will be much easier."

"Sister Shen Zhian is indeed Sister Shen Zhian, not much worse than Lord Gu Qingyue. With your guidance, we understand immediately."

Ning Wanqin and Ruan Fei were overjoyed for a while, then said, "Now, all we need to do is think about how to invite General Zhang Shi to come..."

As she spoke, Ruan Fei said somewhat shyly, "This requires your help, sister. After all, General Zhang Shi is a figure who has swept across the northern frontier and annihilated the enemy. If the gift we give is too low, not only will they refuse to accept it, but we ourselves will also be unable to offer it."

Shen Zhian nodded and said, "That's true. We should indeed use a grand gesture towards General Zhang Shi, at least to impress him with our gifts."

He asked, "Xiao Fei, how much of a gift do you plan to give General Zhang Shi?"

Ruan Fei said, "I think it should be at least one million taels of silver!"

Ning Wanqin was also hearing this number for the first time, and was taken aback, involuntarily exclaiming "Wow!"

Shen Zhian nodded and said, "One million taels of silver is just what is due!"

Seeing that she had received affirmation, Ruan Fei immediately said, "That's right, even if Wanqin and I save together, it's not enough. I'd like to borrow some from you, Zhi'an."

Shen Zhian immediately replied, "No problem!"

"I'll lend it to you."

"So, how much do you have on hand? How much do you plan to borrow?"

Ruan Fei said, "I did the math last time, and the money that Wanqin and I have combined is less than ten thousand taels. We'll have to borrow the rest from you, Zhi'an!"

Shen Zhi'an: "???"

His voice immediately rose an octave: "How much do you want to borrow?"

Ruan Fei continued shyly, "I'd like to borrow 990,000 taels... a little more would be even better!"

Shen Zhi'an: "..."

Ruan Fei: Smiling face!

Shen Zhian: "No, is this all you two have?"

Ruan Fei's smile turned into a bitter expression. She said, "Sister Zhi'an, you know I was just a clerk under the Grand Commander before, and my salary wasn't much. In fact, most of this less than ten thousand taels of silver came from Sister Wanqin. I only had less than a thousand taels on hand!"

Shen Zhi'an: "..."

Then, as if remembering something, she said, "Didn't they say the Grand Commander gave you many valuable pieces of jewelry? Aren't they worth anything?"

"No, no..." Ruan Fei quickly said, "Those are my treasures, how can I sell them? I absolutely cannot sell those things!"

Shen Zhi'an: "..."

Ning Wanqin only realized at this moment that when Ruan Fei asked her how much money she had, she planned to take all of it from her: she would take nine thousand taels, and Shen Zhian would take nine hundred and ninety thousand...

So Ruan Fei takes almost nothing?!

No, is it Ruan Fei who wants to turn Zhang Shi against his side? Or is it them who want to turn Zhang Shi against his side?

Ruan Fei spoke up again, "Sisters, I really have no other choice. How about this: when General Zhang Shi arrives, he can lend me a hand and help me bring down Madam. In return, I will repay you double the amount, okay?"

"No!"

Shen Zhian then put on a magnanimous act and said, "Consider this money a donation from me."

"Please wait here a moment, I'll be right back!"

Ruan Fei was overjoyed: "Thank you, Sister Zhi'an!"

"polite!"

Shen Zhian waved his hand and stood up. At that moment, his imposing aura was like a mountain, awe-inspiring and awe-inspiring.

He strode towards the back room, pushed open the study door, and unsurprisingly, there was his husband, Zhou Buzhang, reclining on a very comfortable soft chair.

Zhou Buzhang showed no reaction to her entry, but instead held a storybook and read it with great interest. His face was full of the decadence of not washing for several days, and his eyes were full of confusion, as well as the occasional flash of joy as he sought fleeting happiness in the book.

But seeing this, Shen Zhian felt a surge of anger rising within him the moment he looked at her. He forced himself to suppress it and said, "Bu Zhang, is it really meaningful for you to live such a decadent life every day?"

"Can't you just stand up straight?"
