In the study, the two Dragon Scale Guards stood solemnly, and they all knelt down to salute when they saw them, and immediately presented a file, which recorded all the experiences of Shen Miaoqi from birth to the present.

Yu Pinyan took it and looked at it expressionlessly.

Being able to go from a rich businessman's daughter to a servant, he had guessed that the Shen family was in great trouble, but he didn't expect that there was his own pusher among them.

It turned out that the Shen family was considered a wealthy family in Lingnan, and the history of Shen's father's fortune was quite legendary. He was a master of tomb robbing and gold digging, and he used the antique business to cover up his shameful sideline. Later, Mrs. Shen gave birth to a son and a daughter successively. In order to accumulate blessings for his children, he would no longer do the immoral thing of digging up people's ancestral graves.

Before the age of ten, Shen Miaoqi was still smooth sailing, with splendid clothes and jade food, but when she was ten years old, she went to Luoyang with her father to make antiques, and she happened to meet the prince who was recovering at the inn. Shen Miaoqi was caught as a spy when she offered herbal medicines, and Shen’s father used seventy-eight percent of her property to redeem her, and then the family fled back to Lingnan in embarrassment.

It was Yu Pinyan himself who ordered the arrest at that time. From then on, the Shen family began to decline, no wonder Shen Miaoqi still remembered him after four years, and shouted words like 'hatred, revenge' when they met, fearing that all the guilt would be blamed on him, and every day and night, he would remember hatred and curse.

Thinking of this, Yu Pinyan sneered and continued to look down.

After returning to Lingnan, the Shen family gradually couldn't make ends meet. In order to prevent their children from suffering, Shen's father had to resume his old business. At this time, an old customer came to the door and asked him to go to an ancient tomb to steal a gilt statue of the mother of the Buddha buried in the main cave, and paid half the deposit first.

Because the reward is really generous, it just happened to save the sinking Shen family. Father Shen was immediately moved. After consulting many documents, he was convinced that there was indeed such a Buddha statue in the tomb, and rushed over overnight.

After experiencing nine deaths, Father Shen brought the Buddha statue home, and then he was in a coma for three days and three nights. But during these three days, Shen Miaoqi opened the box containing the Buddha statue out of curiosity, and accidentally knocked off one of the Buddha's hands. Because she often sees Father Shen repairing antiques, she does not have a teacher, so she glued the bergamot back with transparent glue, and put it back into the box.

After Shen's father woke up, he quickly notified the person to come and pick up the goods. The two were too excited, and they completed the transaction without a good check. After the man returned home, he played with it carefully and found that he was fooled. Because he had longed for this Buddha statue for a long time, he hated Shen's father who destroyed the treasure and cheated the money. He set up several serial bureaus to destroy the Shen family. in jail.

When the last tenth of the family property was used to make atonement, Shen's father shouted that he was wronged and died at the gate of the prison, and Shen's mother also fell ill. As for the concubines of the Shen family, they stole the property and ran away with their concubines.

Shen Miaoqi also had a direct elder brother named Shen Yuanqi, who took care of the family's livelihood from then on, signed a death deed with a large local family to become a slave, and rented a small house for Shen's mother and sister to live in with the money from the sale.

Mother Shen was in critical condition when she needed the most care, but Shen Miaoqi stole the only ten taels of silver left in the house one afternoon and ran away, she only brought a few clothes and a swaddling when she went out. I want to come to Shen's mother who told her her life experience because she couldn't survive it, but she was treated with such heartfelt determination.

Mother Shen couldn't find anyone or money, so she vomited a few mouthfuls of blood and left after a few days. The Shen brothers and sisters have since parted ways.

Shen Miaoqi buried her head and walked towards the capital, she encountered a caravan halfway, and spent 20 taels to ride their carriage, but she did not want to encounter bandits looting, and the caravan members were killed and injured. Shen Miaoqi hid under the car and was rescued by Zhao Anshun's family who just went to Beijing to report her work when she was about to suffer.

She voluntarily sold herself to the Miss Zhao family as a slave, with the idea of ​​keeping up with Beijing.

I thought I could finally sit back and relax, but I didn't expect that Zhao Anshun offended Shangfeng because he was too upright.

Zhao Anshun, who received the letter from Shangfeng, had to turn back halfway and continue to be the prefect of Yunzhou, Shen Miaoqi not only did not approach the capital, but went further and further away. She had been frightened by the bandits at this time, and she dared to go on the road alone, so she had to stay at the Zhao family and wait for the opportunity.

That wait is four years.

Because Zhao Anshun has been working in remote and bitter places such as Yunzhou, he has nothing to do with the major forces in Beijing. The hundreds of catties of charcoal had been transported to the Taoist temple half a month ago, and the Zhao family was still on the way. Shen Miaoqi just added a piece of charcoal to the fire when the Crown Princess appeared, in fact, there were thirty or forty people who added charcoal to the fire that day, but Shen Miaoqi was the most unlucky.

After closing the file, Yu Pinyan didn't speak for a long time.

The two dragon-scale guards silently presented a piece of swaddling. Having found out Shen Miaoqi's experience, they naturally knew that Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Hou gave birth in the cave together. Afterwards, Father Shen covered up all the way back to Lingnan and avoided doing business with the elites in Beijing. The two had already guessed something. , when seeing this swaddling and thinking of those words Shen Miaoqi shouted in prison, everything became clear. No matter how rich the Shen family is, the tributes in this palace cannot be obtained.

The Dragon Scale Guard is the most powerful knife in the emperor's hands. He holds many secrets and secrets that officials can't keep for outsiders.

Yu Pinyan dared to ask them to investigate, so naturally he was not afraid that they would find out.

One of the Dragon Scale Guards saw that he was in a bad mood, and after a moment of hesitation, he reminded him, Dutong, this Shen Yuanqi is the No. 1 scholar in the current division. The family he sold himself was a visionary, and he was supposed to be the heir of the family. The book boy, when he saw that he was a genius, he began to think about it. He not only eliminated his slave status, but also recognized him as an adopted son for him to study, hoping to help him more in the future. This year, he really was the champion of high school, and in recent days he has been inquiring about Shen Miaoqi and the second one. Miss. Do you want to...

He used his hand to make a knife and scratched at the neck. When such a thing happened, it was natural to kill and silence the man to protect the reputation of the Marquis Mansion. If Shen Yuanqi came to the door, wouldn't the Hou Mansion become a joke? The second young lady, who was guarded by the Marquis as a lifeblood, was the first to suffer...

Yu Pinyan pondered for a moment and then waved his hand, I have my own plans, don't act rashly. Go on.

The two did not dare to be disobedient, they bowed down and bowed out of the study.

Shen Miaoqi moved from the dungeon of Baiyun Taoist Temple to the dungeon of Dragon Scale Guard. The place was spacious, but the scene was even more terrifying. Dragon Scale Guard did not avoid people during torture, but liked to tie prisoners to watch the execution.

Or peeling and eviscerating, or gouging her eyes, or cutting her tongue with a knife... Shen Miaoqi was frightened and fainted several times that day, and sometimes she even suspected that she was no longer in the human world, but was in the eighteenth hell.

In a daze, she heard the prisoner mention that the handsome young man who interrogated her that day was the leader of the Dragon Scale Guard, and his methods were a hundred times more cruel than these people. The rebel Prince Yu was captured by him and brought back. The Queen of Beijing personally executed Ling Chi at the behest of the emperor, and cut off a total of 3,600 knives before Prince Yu died. His murderous skills are evident.

The enemy who had cursed tens of thousands of times in her heart was so powerful and cruel that Shen Miaoqi knew she was afraid and desperately prayed that her family would find her soon.

It seemed that a lifetime had passed, but in reality it was only twelve hours. When the prison door was opened again, Shen Miaoqi had a feeling of being in a different world.

After emptying out the prisoners, Yu Pinyan walked slowly to the girl who was curled up in a ball. He didn't help her up, and he didn't say a word of similar concern. He didn't even pay attention to what happened to her in the previous twelve hours. He leaned down and stared at her dirty face.

This face seems to be enough for the Lin family, and it really can't arouse the slightest sympathy in him. Although this person is his blood-connected sister, he is just a stranger in his heart. His sympathy had long since worn off in one bloody killing after another.

Shen Miaoqi struggled for a long time before she got up under his overwhelming power, walked on her knees and grabbed the hem of his clothes, shouting, Sir, I am wronged. The premature birth of the Crown Princess really has nothing to do with me. I am not a maid, but a Hou Miss Fu, please help me find my family. In the future, I will definitely make a straw and hold a ring to repay your kindness!

Yu Pinyan looked at the crimson robe with a few black fingerprints, frowned, took a step back, and when she finished speaking, she was about to kowtow to herself, and put her toes against her forehead, which was about to hit the ground.

Don't kneel to me, I'm your elder brother. Your surname is Yu, and you are the daughter of the Marquis of Yongle that has been lost for fourteen years. Say something that doesn't matter.

Shen Miaoqi raised her head and looked at him blankly. It took quite a while before she finished digesting the words. The person who put her in jail twice was the relative she had been looking for for four years, her brother? She just didn't know how to look.

She felt that she should laugh a few times to express the joy in her heart, or cry bitterly to show the grievances she suffered these few hours. But facing the dark and indifferent eyes of the young man, she could only quickly lower her head and ask in a trembling voice, You, are you really my brother?

Yu Pin didn't answer, beckoned to call two dragon scale guards, and ordered, Take her down to clean up.

The two agreed and supported Shen Miaoqi with weak legs and walked outside the cell.

An hour later, Shen Miaoqi was sitting on the swaying carriage wearing a blue-grey robe, Yu Pinyan held an embroidered spring knife and sat opposite her with his eyes closed.

Shen Miaoqi had a bad guess in her heart and whispered, Brother, why did you let me wear this robe? Could it be that he did not intend to recognize me, but instead forced me to become a monk because I was in prison and lost to his face? Yes, he is so cold-blooded and ruthless, what can't he do?

The hatred that had just subsided in Shen Miaoqi's heart began to violently churn again.

At the age of twenty, Yu Pinyan was already murderous, and he was most sensitive to people's malice. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her.

Shen Miaoqi was startled and hurriedly lowered her head and grabbed the hem of her clothes, with blue veins bursting out from the back of her hand. The more she got along, the more fearful she became of this brother. There was nothing but indifference in his eyes, as if she was not his blood-connected sister, but an irrelevant stranger.

A dead silence spread inside the car, and after half an hour, Yu Pinyan said slowly, You and Xiang'er are twins, because you are weak, you may die at any time, so you have to send them to Shuiyue Nunnery for foster care. After the fourteen-year-old life and death catastrophe, I will take you back to the Hou Mansion. You remember these words.

Whether Shen Miaoqi loves him or hates him, it doesn't matter to him, there is only one more mouth to eat.

It was to protect his reputation. That's right, just take it back so rashly, let people know that she was a slave and a maid in the past, and she will be embarrassed in the future. Shen Miaoqi nodded obediently and secretly remembered the word 'Xiang'er' in her heart.

When talking about this Xiang Er, she clearly saw a hint of softness in Yu Pinyan's cold eyes. That person must be the daughter of the Shen family who occupies the magpie's nest? Fourteen years of getting along day and night, is there really some feelings? She took away her noble identity and enjoyed the glory, wealth, and food that should belong to her. And he has suffered for her for fourteen years without receiving any pity from his brother. God why didn't you open your eyes?

Thinking of this, strong unwillingness and resentment welled up in her chest.
