The carriage drove smoothly all the way to the gate of Jing'an Temple. The incense smoke drifted over in the wind, mixing with the light fragrance of the mountain vegetation.

Shen Qingyuan slowly got out of the car, holding Chuntao's hand, looking up at the Zhuhongshan Gate, feeling a little sad in her heart.Whenever her biological mother died in her previous life, Shen Qingrou would always secretly spread gossip about her being rude and disrespectful to her late mother, in the name of accompanying her to offer incense. Over time, many ladies from aristocratic families secretly looked down on her.

Today is not the day of the main ceremony, so the temple is not crowded.She first went to the main hall to burn incense and pray for her late mother Liu. She held the incense at her fingertips and the green smoke curled up. She silently made a wish in her heart that she would protect everything her mother left behind and make those who harmed their mother and daughter pay the price.

After worshiping the Buddha, she did not return immediately, but deliberately went to a secluded teahouse behind the temple.The young man who had previously ordered an unannounced visit to the farm was already waiting here. When he saw her, he quickly bowed and saluted. After confirming that there was no one around, he quietly handed over a stack of handwritten secret reports.

"Miss, three fertile fields on the outskirts of the city were indeed sold by Aunt Liu to her natal brother at a very low price. The tenants were harshly withheld their rent every year and dared not speak out. Here are the names of the stewards who handled them and the date of the sale."

Shen Qingyuan lowered his head and looked at the paper. Each account was written clearly, and even the middleman's signature was supported by circumstantial evidence.His fingertips touched the writing, and the coldness in his eyes grew stronger.Aunt Liu and her daughter had been occupying the dowry for many years and thought they had done a perfect job. Little did they know that these tenants had been suppressed for many years and had been holding back their resentment for a long time. All they needed was an opportunity to expose all their evil deeds.

"Well done, I will give you Chuntao after the silver reward. Remember to continue to hibernate and don't come back to the house to show your face, so as not to be noticed by Aunt Liu's people."

The boy received the order and hurriedly retreated.

Chuntao stood aside and sighed in a low voice: "Aunt Liu is too greedy. The property that Madam left behind is so rich, but she has eaten it up bit by bit like this."

"She is greedy for more than just property." Shen Qingyuan collected the secret letter and hid it in her personal purse, "There are several street shops in the house that have been losing money for years, and all the profits have been secretly taken away by them. Next, we will slowly verify it."

After taking a break for a cup of tea, the two set off back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
