141 The Hidden Truth
Seeing Shen Yan'er's stern face, Jing Hao was surprised and obediently closed her mouth. Shen Yan'er received the tiger card to herself without saying a word, then put the makeup box back in its original place, and left the room with Jing Hao.
The relationship in the palace is complicated, and no one can be trusted, so maybe every move about yourself will reach the ears of "that person". After tonight's bloody lesson, Shen Yan'er no longer dared to take any risks.
After leaving Ah Zhen's room, Shen Yan'er walked through the entire Shen family restaurant. With Jing Hao's help, Shen Yan'er arranged all the corpses of Ah Qiao and the others, and covered their mutilated corpses exposed to the moonlight with a sheet.
If Shen Yan'er didn't guess wrong, tomorrow the members of the imperial team in charge of the aftermath would dig a big pit in the courtyard and bury all the corpses on the spot, thinking that in this way they could bury all the sins committed tonight.
Maybe even the neighbors across the wall would never know what happened to the Shen family tonight. However, it's better not to know, Shen Yan'er really hopes that they will never see such a cruel picture and experience such a terrifying disaster in their lives.

Shen Yan'er stayed awake all night, and before she knew it, the dark blue night had gradually been dispelled by the rising sun in the eastern sky. The long darkness finally passed, bathed in the soft morning light, and Shen Yan'er felt that the pain pressing on her heart was slightly reduced.
She had come to terms with this fact and had regained her strength from her great grief.
Without waiting for the carriage that came to pick her up and return to the palace, Shen Yan'er and Jing Hao stood silently at the back door where they came back last night.
It was during the time of waiting that Shen Yan'er realized one thing - she didn't even have the idea of escaping once last night. There were only two people in the restaurant last night, she and Jing Hao, if she proposed to escape, Jing Hao would definitely not stop her.
However, even if he can escape to the ends of the earth, he can't save his sister. Yu'er is Shen Yan'er's only surviving relative, even if she sacrifices herself, she has to return her freedom.
Maybe "that person" calculated this correctly, so he didn't even leave a single guard, and let Shen Yan'er spend the night thinking carefully and carefully, and finally made up her mind to obey him.
Shen Yan'er not only made every move, but even every thought was under his control, which made Shen Yan'er shudder. She wondered if Yi Xiangxi felt the same way? What kind of strength made Yi Xiangxi willing to go to the soup for him?
I don't know how long she waited, but Shen Yan'er finally heard the familiar sound of horses' hooves coming from the other side of the alley. Looking up, the carriage that I was riding in yesterday was already in view.
After a while, the carriage stopped in front of Shen Yan'er. The driver was still the same expressionless member of the Imperial Front Team yesterday. When he found Shen Yan'er waiting by the door early, a trace of surprise appeared on his stiff face.
"Whoever commits many acts of injustice will kill himself, and sooner or later the one you follow will lead you to hell from which you will never recover. I don't have to take revenge, there is a heavenly punishment waiting for you in the future. Shen Yan'er passed by the coachman and stepped on the carriage with angry steps. She didn't even look at the coachman, and coldly left curse-like harsh words.

After returning to the palace, everyone else gathered in the lobby of the neon palace and listened to Izumo lecture on the complicated rules of the palace. Because the lobby is facing the main entrance, Shen Yan'er can't avoid it if she wants to, as long as the show girls take a little traction when listening to the lecture and look in the direction of the door, they will find Shen Yan'er and Jinghao silently walking towards the inner courtyard by the corner of the wall.
In the spacious courtyard, Shen Yan'er could come out of Yun's loud voice when she was lecturing from a long distance. Under the cover of this voice, the footsteps of Shen Yan'er and Jing Hao were so low that even Shen Yan'er herself couldn't hear them.
However, they were still seen by sharp-eyed show girls.
The discussion of the two or three show girls quickly turned into a group of surprised eyes, and finally even Izumo noticed that something was wrong, followed everyone's line of sight, and turned to see Shen Yan'er.
Shen Yan'er, who couldn't continue to move forward, could only stand still, and in the embarrassing atmosphere of all the attention, she was still under the leadership of Jing Hao, and only then did she salute Izumo with ten twisted movements.
I don't know if it was her pale face and walking corpse-like demeanor that frightened everyone, Shen Yan'er could feel everyone's shock when she lowered her head. Shen Yan'er, who was afraid of being questioned, didn't care about the rules, so she turned around and ran away in front of everyone, rushed back to her room as if she was fleeing, and closed the door tightly.
After a while, Izumo knocked on the door to visit. Although Shen Yan'er let Jing Hao open the door, she didn't mean to talk to Izumo, and no matter how Izumo interrogated, she didn't spit out a word. In the end, when Izumo was about to get angry, Jing Hao couldn't hold back anymore, and with a crying voice, he pleaded for Shen Yan'er and said, "Auntie, please don't ask Miss anymore." She really has something unspeakable, and she doesn't dare to say a word without permission......"
Jinghao's plea worked, and Izumo really didn't ask any more questions, instead staring straight at Shen Yan'er with an insightful gaze. A little bit of clarity gradually emerged in his expression, as if he had guessed a little bit about what happened to Shen Yan'er outside the palace.

In the next two days, Shen Yan'er kept saying that she was sick and couldn't go out, and locked herself in her room from morning to night. She knew that such an attitude would attract discussion from the show girls, and she knew that it would bring unnecessary trouble to herself, but she just didn't want to see anyone.
In the evening of the next day, Kou Xuebing knocked on the door again.
Because she lived close to Shen Yan'er, and the two of them had experienced so many hardships together in the mass grave, she knocked on the door the most in the past two days.
Several times before, Shen Yan'er lay on the bed and pretended to be asleep, without answering the door. Seeing that there was no response, Kou Xuebing left. But today, Kou Xuebing was very persistent, and she had the momentum of breaking into the door by herself if she didn't shout Shen Yan'er out of bed.
Shen Yan'er had no choice but to let her in.
Kou Xuebing brought news from the outside to Shen Yan'er. She said that the show girls were very jealous that Shen Yan'er could go home to visit relatives after entering the palace, and also said that Pan Yuting had sent someone to inquire about the news from outside the palace. Shen Wancai fell ill and died, suspected of being infected with a contagious disease, and all those who came into contact with him were taken away and quarantined. The restaurant is closed.
And the time of closure was the day after Shen Yan'er left from visiting relatives, and the time coincidence had to be suspicious. However, including Pan Yuting, everyone only had deep suspicions in their hearts, and no one knew what happened to the Shen family.
