Shen Ninghua was forbidden to enter Moon Facing Hall. However, Shen Dong had only told her not to come out because she had nothing to do, but he did not prevent anyone from going in to see her. Thus, Shen Xuanhua ran over as soon as he had breakfast.

"Big Sis, come take a look."

Shen Ninghua was practicing her calligraphy in her room when she heard Shen Xuanhua's voice. The tip of her brush trembled, and a tiny bit of ink fell onto the snow-white Plum Blossom Note.

When Shen Xuanhua saw this scene, he scratched his head in embarrassment, "Big Sis, it's all my fault for being so reckless."

Bai Yu put away the paper that Shen Ninghua had thrown aside and replaced it with a new one. Shen Ninghua no longer had the mood to continue writing, "Since you're so flustered early in the morning, are you not afraid of Second Aunt seeing you and calling you by your name?" During this period of time, she had clearly seen Shen Xuanhua at home, he was completely like a child. She did not know how Old General Su could be at ease with him going to the battlefield.

"Mother doesn't even care about me anymore. "Oh yeah, big sister, I came to deliver something to you." Shen Xuanhua took out a stack of gold notes from his chest pocket and said, "This is what His Highness the Second Prince asked me to pass to you, he said that it's the reward for buying the Military Strategy."

On the day she returned to the Shen family, she had asked Shen Xuanhua to deliver the military manual to the Second Prince. She did not expect that Baili JinChuan would deliver the gold notes so quickly, "Don't you have my handwritten manuscript of the military manual? Just make a copy of it and give it to the Second Prince. It would seem that I am taking advantage of him and having him spend money to buy it."

Shen Xuanhua laughed, "His Highness has guessed correctly, he already said that once I give you the gold bills, you will say such words. "His Highness the Second Prince said to not worry about his eldest sister. He used the original draft of the military manual to present it to the Emperor. No matter how much gold he spent, it would still be worth it."

"Mm. That way, I can relax." If Baili Jinchuan could think of giving the military manual to the emperor, then he must understand the advice from before. Now it was up to the empress to come up with a solution.

"Elder sister," Shen Xuanhua took a sip of the tea that Bai Yu brought to him, "The tea here is so delicious. No matter how carefully I brew it, it still won't taste like this."

Looking at his envious expression, Shen Ninghua found it funny. "I brought this tea from another manor. The good thing about it is that you added something into it when you were stir-frying. If you like it, I'll get Bai Yu to bring you some when we leave."

"Then little brother will thank big sister. "Oh right, when Grandmother's birthday arrives, big brother Xuanye will be back soon. The Second Prince also said that he wanted to meet him."

Shen Ninghua's eyes flashed, "Shen Xuanye came back so quickly?" Shen Xuanye had been studying abroad, but was valued by a hermit monk, who took her in as a disciple and taught her all kinds of knowledge. At first, Shen Dong and Madame Zhao were extremely unwilling, but after hearing that the monk was Master Chen, who had lived in seclusion for a long time, they happily sent Shen Xuanyin away.

As Master Chen's disciple, Shen Xuanyi naturally rose in rank.

However, in his previous life, Shen Xuanzhao didn't return until she was sent to the side room of Hundred Miles Jin Ze. Since he came back so early this time, he believed that Mrs Zhao must have sent him a message.

"Big Sis, since Brother Xuan Huang is back, he shouldn't be bringing you any trouble, right?" Shen Xuanhua asked hesitantly.

Shen Ninghua raised his head, seeing Shen Xuanhua's worried expression, he couldn't help but think in his heart, although he has talent, and his intuition towards leading soldiers is even more astonishing, he is still a thirteen year old teenager after all. He did not go through much tribulations and his heart turned soft, "What trouble could there be, Xuanye came back to congratulate Grandmother on her birthday, I am so happy that I didn't even have time."

Shen Xuanhua lowered his head and replied, "Un, as long as elder sister is happy." Her expression just now was clearly different, elder sister was still unwilling to tell him anything.

At the door, Hong Ling ran in quickly, "Miss, the Master and First Madam are here. Their faces are very ugly."

Shen Ninghua raised her gaze. "It's fine. Go and open the gate to the courtyard. Father and Mother have come to my courtyard. Naturally, I want to happily welcome them." "Bai Yan, go and change to hot tea."

"Yes, miss."

Shen Xuanhua was worried, "Big Sis, I'll go call my mother."

Shen Ninghua stopped him, "There's no need. I can handle this small matter myself." Xuan Hua, you have sent the Second Prince's gift. You can go back first, you have no business here. "

"I think I'll stay here. If uncle wants to punish you, I can help block it."

"What nonsense are you talking about? There is nothing wrong with me staying in the courtyard. How could Father and Mother punish me for no reason? If you don't want to leave, then leave. Just wait and watch from the side." Knowing that he had put in a lot of effort, Shen Ninghua no longer tried to force him.

After the two of them spoke for a moment, Shen Dong and the Zhao Family walked in one after the other.

Shen Ninghua tidied up her clothes, bowed and said, "Greetings, Father and Mother."

Mrs Zhao did not care about her actions, but looked at her reproachfully, and spoke sincerely: "Ning Hua, in another two years you will be old. As the elder sister of Ling Han and her group, you should be the most sensible, why did you do such a disgraceful thing to our Shen family?"

Shen Ninghua looked at the ugly expression on Shen Dong's face and saw that he was obviously suppressing his anger with a dark expression. She looked at Mrs Zhao with doubt and puzzlement, "What is Mother saying? I've explained it clearly yesterday, I wasn't the one who messed up the Shen family. "

Her tone became more contemptuous: "Even at this point, you still don't admit it, the emperor still values filial piety the most. If you do something unfilial, both men and women will be chased out of the house. Xiao Hua, the Shen family won't be able to tolerate you."

Shen Ninghua's tone turned serious. "Mother, these words are too serious. I've devoted my heart to serving Grandmother and treated you and Father with respect. How can you frame me with your bare teeth?"

"Someone delivered it."

"Hoh, then tell me, why did others give you golden notes?"

"I have an Absolute Weapon Book in my hands. Someone wanted to buy it from me, so I agreed." Shen Ninghua frowned in puzzlement. "Don't tell me mother thinks that I should not pay for things I buy?"

"Of course we have to give money to buy things, but Ning Hua, you shouldn't casually sell your mother's dowry, can't my Shen family raise a daughter like you? You still don't admit that you're unfilial, or that you've lost the face of the Shen family? "

Shen Ninghua pursed her lips and looked at Shen Dong, "Father, do you think so too?"

"Xiao Hua, you have indeed disappointed me." Shen Dong said in a deep voice.

"Father, when the Second Prince said he wanted to buy the Military Strategy, I naturally disagreed. However, he said that he wanted to give the Military Strategy to the Emperor, and on account of the Second Prince's filial piety, I agreed to give it to him, but he insisted on buying it for fifty thousand gold, saying that this was his gift. It seems that I was wrong, I will send someone to deliver the golden note to the Second Prince and then bring the Military Strategy back."

"You … What did you say? You sold the military manual to the Second Prince, and then the Second Prince offered it to the Emperor? " Shen Dong's eyes suddenly widened.

"Yes."

Madame Zhao held her breath as she turned to look at Qin mama. Why was it that no one had told her of such an important matter? If she had known that Shen Ninghua had sold the Military Strategy to the Second Prince, she wouldn't have dared to cause a ruckus.

Qin mama was also stunned. She had only heard someone report Shen Ninghua's actions and had then truthfully reported it to the First Madam. Since the people below had not reported the information, she naturally had no way of knowing.

Shen Ninghua lowered her head to cover the smile in her eyes. Her many years of pampering had made the First Wife too relaxed. She purposefully misled him, bringing Shen Dong to find trouble. Since there was no way to end this, she could only blame herself.

Shen Dong forcefully coughed and said, "Ning Hua, get up. Since the Second Prince has already sent the gold notes over, then you can keep them. There's no reason for you to take back the military manual even if you send it out."

Shen Ninghua frowned and said, "But what Mother said earlier made sense. I only considered the filial piety of the Second Prince and did not consider the prestige of the entire Shen family."

"It's okay, you didn't do anything wrong, I will continue to handle this matter," Shen Dong coldly looked at Mrs Zhao, feeling displeased. This person's way of handling things was getting more and more excessive, "These two days rest more, and if you need anything, tell me … …" Butler, I will get someone to arrange it for you. "

Mrs Zhao's face paled when she heard this. Tell the housekeeper? What does Shen Dong mean by this, is he trying to take away her housekeeper power?

Satisfied, Shen Ninghua replied, "Yes, Father."

"Mm, you rest." Shen Dong didn't stay for long to feel awkward. With that, he turned around and left. Mrs Zhao fiercely glared at Shen Ninghua and quickly followed with a pale face.

After they left, Shen Xuanhua heaved a huge sigh of relief, "I thought uncle was here to scold me, but I didn't expect to pass so easily. Sis, I'm relieved to see that nothing happened to you here, I'll go back and tell mother now."

"Mm, go ahead."

Bai Yu stepped forward to help Shen Ninghua pinch her leg and relieve the pain from her kneeling down. "Miss, the First Wife doesn't seem to let this matter go."

"I know." Shen Ninghua's eyes were calm, but a violent storm was brewing in her heart. "She's always been smooth sailing. How could she be willing to let a variable like me suddenly appear and suppress her?" All I want is for her to be unwilling. "

"This servant is stupid." Bai Yan thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what it was.

Behind the First Wife stood the Zhao Family. Her previous actions were just a small probe. It was to force her to make a move at the birthday banquet. That was the real contest!

"Miss," Hong Ling walked in quickly and frowned, "Shen Ling Han is back."

"Yes." Shen Ninghua nodded. Baili Jinze was the most sensible and did not have any concrete evidence. He could only bear with it and knew that Shen Lingghan would not lose a single strand of hair.

"A lot of people went to greet her, and she even had a reward behind her, saying that it was the empress who gave it to her to calm her down." Hong Ling became even more unfair.

Shen Ninghua found this funny. "What are you so angry about? The Empress is her aunt, it's within reason to support her."

"Are we going to let her go just like this?" Everything he had done before would soon be in vain.

"Naturally, it won't be in vain. Hong Ling, today, I'll teach you something. Don't only look at the scene when you do things, but also look at the road ahead."

The corner of Shen Ninghua's lips curled up as a cold glint flashed across her eyes. Previously, it was just a preparation. She would pave the way and gradually push Shen Lingghan into hell!
