Chapter 392 Sisterhood
Shen Jingzhen continued: "Do you want to live under her for the rest of your life? Don't you want to have a good marriage in the future?"
"Cousin..." Lou Yulan hesitated to speak.
Shen Jingzhen continued, "Only when she is no longer able to do so will grandma see you and place her hopes on you. Haven't you seen it all these years? She is always there for me at home and outside, haven't you ever envied her?"
Lou Yulan lowered her eyes and acted cautiously: "Cousin, it's not that I don't want to help you, but the Lou family is not like the Shen family. If my grandmother knew about this, she would beat me to death."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jingzhen felt that there was hope and immediately became excited.
"Good cousin, just help me think of a solution. Everything else has nothing to do with you." Shen Jingzhen coaxed and persuaded him and started to act coquettishly.
Lou Yulan raised her eyes to look at her. The girl's eyes were bright and full of sincerity.
She hesitated for a moment and whispered, "I passed by today and happened to see Shen Shuyi talking to the cousin of the Wang family. There was a beehive on the tree at the time, and they said there was something called bee-attracting water..."
Shen Jingzhen kept these words in mind, and looked at Lou Yulan with a little more eagerness.
"really?"
Lou Yulan shook her head and said, "That's all I know. I've told you everything I know. As for the rest, you'll have to figure it out on your own."
"Don't worry, when I marry into the Feng family, I will definitely repay your kindness." Shen Jingzhen promised solemnly.
When Lou Yulan left Shen Jingzhen's tent, the smile on her face faded.
The two sisters in the Shen family are the same. They want to make a big fuss about their marriage even before the plan is even decided, and they are not afraid of losing face in the end.
But no matter what, it's good to have Shen Jingzhen to help me.
After all, she only mentioned it in a few words, so even if Shen Jingzhen later accused her, she would have no evidence.
Even if this matter is finally investigated, it will only be blamed on Shen Shuyi and Shen Jingzhen.
These are all the Shen family's own affairs. Even if Old Madam Qin gets angry, she can't blame herself.
Thinking of this, Lou Yulan couldn't help but feel much more relieved.
Shen Jingyu, you were the one who wronged me first, so don't blame me for being cruel...
For so many years, you have always been superior to me, and I have never cared about it. But you clearly don't like Prince Song, but you still want to seduce him in every way. It's really hateful!
A hint of cruelty flashed across Lou Yulan's innocent face.
As long as your face is ruined, I think Prince Song will never look at you again.

In the evening, when it was getting dark, Shen Shuyi asked Yuping to deliver the bee-attracting water prepared by Lianqiao to Yao Huiyan.
Yao Huiyan has already informed Madam Wang, who also informed Grand Tutor Wang about this matter. She only said that wasps could be added to wine, which might be effective for pain caused by dampness and cold, so she planned to give it a try.
When Wang Taifu was young, he studied hard at his desk, which caused him to have pain in his shoulders and neck. Later, he was injured and dampness and cold entered his body. Now, the pain gets worse on rainy days.
Thinking that it was his niece's good intention, Master Wang naturally had no reason to refuse. He just reminded her that if she planned to catch bees, she must bring servants from the mansion with her and remember not to get hurt.
Yuping was holding a water bag in her hand and walking hurriedly.
Lian Qiao refined the bee-attracting water several times before he could barely put it into a water bag. Otherwise, if all those messy herbs were added together, who knows how big the bag would be.
Yao Huiyan's tent was next to Mrs. Wang's tent, so it was a little far away.
In addition, Yuping deliberately chose a more remote path to wait for someone to take the bait. Qinxin protected her in the dark all the way, so she was not afraid. However, it was the first time she was waiting for someone to rob her, and Yuping's heart was beating fast.
As the sky gradually darkened, braziers in many places in the tents began to burn, and the patrolling guards gradually imposed martial law.
Not long after they walked away, Shen Jingzhen and two maids suddenly came towards them.
Yu Ping immediately moved aside and said, "Meet the Third Miss."
Shen Jingzhen narrowed her eyes and asked coldly, "What are you holding in your hand?"
"Miss Third, it was Miss Second who asked me to give something to Miss Yao, and I don't know what it is." Yuping said respectfully.
"Let me see it!" Shen Jingzhen immediately reached out to grab it.
Yuping held the things tightly in embarrassment, but she couldn't resist Shen Jingzhen and she snatched them away.
Shen Jingzhen opened the water bag and smelled it carefully.
A sweet aroma wafted over, Shen Jingzhen frowned and threw the water bag back to Yuping: "I thought it was something else, I thought you were stealing wine to drink because you were sneaking around."
Yu Ping said quickly: "I dare not."
"Let's go." Shen Jingzhen waved her hand, and Yuping immediately turned aside and left.
After Yu Ping left, Shen Jingzhen turned around and looked at her back, whispering, "You guys go back first, I'll go around by myself."
The two maids hesitated and said, "Miss..."
Shen Jingzhen asked impatiently: "Are you the master or am I the master?"
The maid didn't dare to say anything and had to retreat quietly.
Shen Jingzhen put on a black cloak, covered her face with a veil, and followed quietly.
Yuping hadn't walked far when she felt a gust of cold wind behind her. The next moment, before she could come to her senses, a club hit her on the back of the head.
Yuping felt dizzy and fell to the ground the next moment, with the water bag in her hand falling down.
Shen Jingzhen picked up the water bag and left without looking back, her heart almost jumping out of her throat.
It was not until they returned to the tent that Shen Jingzhen quietly hid the water bag on the bed and she calmed down a little.
It's not that she doesn't want to send someone to do this, but she really has no one available at the moment. The most loyal maids have been eliminated by Shen Shuyi. Now, although the remaining ones look loyal, she doesn't dare to take the risk.
What's more, the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better.

The next day, early in the morning.
Shen Jingzhen got up early and went directly to Shen Jingyu's tent.
When Shen Jingyu heard her coming, she frowned.
But after all, she was his biological sister, so he immediately said, "Let her in."
After Shen Jingzhen came in, her eyes were filled with tears and she choked up and said, "Big sister..."
Shen Jingyu looked at her coldly: "You were so proud yesterday, why are you looking for me again today?"
Shen Jingzhen said softly, "I'm here to apologize to my sister. Although I care about Feng Lang, I shouldn't hurt the relationship between us sisters because of him. I didn't sleep last night, but I figured it out a little bit."
"Although what you said was unpleasant, it was for my own good. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that."
Shen Jingyu looked at her in silence. Shen Jingzhen always looked at her pitifully with an innocent face: "Sister, can you forgive me?"
Shen Jingyu sighed, helped her up and said, "I'm glad you can figure it out."
Shen Jingzhen burst into laughter and said, "The most urgent task for our family right now is to help elder sister secure the position of the Eighth Prince's Consort. As for the matter between Feng Lang and me... I can wait..."
Seeing that she had not given up yet, Shen Jingyu couldn't help but frown.
But thinking that this matter was not something that could be let go, he did not bring it up again and turned the topic to the jade bottle she brought with her.
"Why did you bring anything here?"
