Shen Ling Han felt as though she was sitting on pins and needles. She could only feel the gazes of the people around her stabbing into her body, making her feel extremely awkward. The hand under the table tore at the handkerchief in his hand, and his eyes were filled with hatred.

Noticing the change in her expression, Shen Xuanye slightly frowned. She had already understood the reason why Shen Lingghan and Mrs Zhao had been completely suppressed by Shen Ninghua in the past few days. Such impatience would never be of much use.

"Big Sis has prepared this gift for such a long time. She is indeed very meticulous." Shen Ninghua had already started laying out the plan long in advance. He was really overthinking it. Don't think that just because he was outside, he wouldn't be able to get any information.

Shen Ninghua's eyes turned cold. "Many thanks to little brother Xuanye." Tomorrow, the entire capital would know that she, Shen Ninghua, was the most filial. At Grandmother's birthday banquet, she had given the most exquisite embroidery as a congratulatory gift. A word of filial piety could dissolve quite a few things.

Shen Xuan Ye lowered her eyes, her long eyebrows similar to Shen Ling Han's became even more manly and heroic, becoming more and more beautiful. At this moment, however, her eyes were filled with a cold air. Shen Ninghua could not let him stay!

As she was thinking, Shen Xuan Ye raised her head and looked at Shen Ling Han, giving her a slight nod of her head. Shen Ling Han was overjoyed, and said:

"Grandmother, elder sister is so diligent, how could I fall behind? I've also prepared a gift for Grandmother." Her words were sweet and charming, but her eyes were filled with the madness of a great hatred that was about to be avenged. It made people shudder.

Mrs Zhao adjusted her smile and looked at Shen Ling Han gently, "Girl, you secretly saved up your monthly allowance and saved it up for a long time before buying this gift. Don't keep me in suspense, quickly send it to grandma."

Shen Ninghua looked at Shen Ling Han and Mrs Zhao, a cold smile on his face.

Seeing her smile, Shen Ling Han shuddered, and felt a chill slowly rise up her back. She almost thought that Shen Ning Hua had discovered her and her mother's scheme, and then fiercely suppressed this thought. This was the method Shen Xuan Ye told them, it was impossible for Shen Ning Hua to know about it.

Xiao Shi smiled, "Ling Han, thank you. I will make up for your monthly allowance later. Don't treat my granddaughter unfairly just because you bought a present for my grandmother."

Everyone opened their mouths to praise the Xiao family. Even she herself thought that she was the most fortunate.

Shen Ling Han ordered her men to bring a white jade box over. Someone had already covered the window with a black cloth, making the room much darker.

Everyone was feeling weird when they saw Shen Ling Han open the box, and instantly, a gentle light shone out of it. It illuminated the entire hall.

"Luminous Pearl …"

"What a big Night Pearl. This radiance is so gentle and bright. It's practically a rarity in the world."

"Yeah, it's so beautiful."

The crowd was in an uproar.

As princes, although Baili JinChuan and Baili Jinze had never seen a pearl that was better than this Luminous Pearl, they could still be considered to have seen it for themselves. They were not surprised, and were the first to regain their senses. Thinking about it for a moment, he felt a bit uncomfortable. No matter how exquisite and rare the embroidery offered by Shen Ninghua was, it couldn't be said to be anything. After all, that screen had been personally embroidered by a woman. However, the Luminous Pearl Shen Lingghan gave was different. As princes, they had never seen anything like it. Yet, in the Shen family, it was used as a gift to curry favor with a woman. Wasn't the Shen family too impressive?

Hearing the constant flattery from the surroundings, the discomfort Baili JinChuan felt became even more obvious.

Chu Junyi noticed the change in his mood and smirked mockingly. The imperial family was good at being conceited, so she couldn't stand to see others stronger than them. It was truly a loathsome sight.

Mrs Xiao took the pearl, her eyes were filled with admiration, she had never seen such a beautiful pearl before, she was slightly excited as she said, "Ling Han, you've been too diligent."

Shen Ling Han looked at Shen Ninghua proudly and said, "Where is it, I can feel relieved to be able to get Grandmother's love."

"I like it, of course I like it."

The Xiao family held the Night Pearl and carefully looked at it. Shen Lingghan opened her mouth and said, "Grandmother, this pearl can emit light in the dark, but it can emit a colorful light in the sunlight. It is indeed rare."

The surrounding maids had already untied the black cloth and the hall was lit up. The pearl was truly colorful and had a flowing brilliance.

Mrs. Xiao touched it again and again in surprise, as if she couldn't let it go.

Suddenly, she felt a black light flash within the pearl. She subconsciously blinked her eyes and thought that she was seeing things. She did not expect to see the black light flash again as she turned the pearl in her hand. She suddenly felt a stream of water surging out of the bead. When her fingers touched the water, they heard a 'chi la' sound. The intense pain made her scream out miserably.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

The Luminous Pearl was thrown onto the ground and rolled a few feet away. There were droplets of water that constantly dripped from the pearl. As soon as the water droplets touched the ground, a sizzling sound could be heard. A small pit appeared on the hard stone ground.

Mrs Xiao's fingers had been in contact with the Luminous Pearl for a long time. Her left hand was still fine, only slightly corroded. The entire index and middle fingers of her right hand were already broken.

Everyone was stupefied. No one had expected that such a beautiful Night Pearl would actually contain murderous intent.

Chu Junyi narrowed her eyes as she looked at Shen Ninghua.

Shen Ling Han shook her head, and was so scared that her face turned pale. She had heard from Shen Xuanyi that this pearl would help her take revenge on Shen Ninghua, but she never expected it to be so vicious. The liquid inside the pearl could actually corrode a human's body.

Shen Ninghua's eyes were cold, her heart was filled with a torrential storm, turning into water! The bead was filled with water that turned her into a corpse! It seems like her guess was right, it was indeed Shen Xuanye who gave the decomposing water to Shen Linghan! When he thought of that heart-wrenching pain, the hatred in Shen Ninghua's heart boiled, overflowing with killing intent.

Shen Dong's face was ashen as he bellowed at the flustered servants, "Hurry and get the imperial physician, hurry and go!"

Chu Junyi turned to one of her servants. "Bring the Chen Courtyard President here."

Shen Dong looked gratefully at him, but didn't have the time to thank him. He hastily went over to support Madam Xiao. "Mother, we've already sent someone to invite Hall Master Chen. The imperial physician will be here soon. Endure it for now."

Mrs. Xiao was in so much pain that her entire body was twisted. Her wrinkled face was covered in cold sweat. What a disloyal and unfilial person … I can't believe that you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … you … Using such a vicious thing to harm me! I... My Shen family does not have a daughter like you … "

Xiao Shi held Shen Dong tightly: "I … … Don't want to see her, let her. Let her. Scram! The Shen Family does not have such evil beings! "

Mrs Zhao seemed to be shocked. She quickly knelt beside Shen Ling Han and begged: "Mother, Ling Han only bought something, she doesn't know that there's a problem with it. Oh right, this bead was bought from the Treasure House, the shopkeeper must know the origin of this bead. Someone must have framed Ling Han. Master, please make the decision for Ling Han."

Shen Dong looked at Shen Ling Han, his eyes were filled with uncertainty. These days Shen Ling Han's performance has made him feel more and more disappointed, who knows if she is doing it on purpose or not.

Shen Ling Han raised her head and looked at Shen Dong helplessly, "Father, you have to believe me, I'm very filial to my grandmother, I won't harm you, I don't know, I really don't know."

Shen Ling Han indeed did not know the power of the pearl, he did not tell her on purpose, all for the sake of making her look so innocent and terrified. Only this way would Shen Dong's heart ache, and he would continue to search.

Indeed, after seeing Shen Linghan's gaze, Shen Dong still wavered. After all, he had doted on Shen Ling Han for so many years, and from the bottom of his heart, he was unwilling to believe that his daughter would be so malicious. He turned to look at the Second Prince, Baili JinChuan and said, "Your Highness, this matter …"

Baili Jinchuan nodded, "Men, go invite the governor of the capital, and bring the shopkeeper of the Treasure House over to interrogate him."

Shen Dong's face was full of gratitude: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Soon, the officials from the Jing Wei Prefecture rushed over. After seeing Baili Jinchuan and his men, they finally understood what had happened, and their expressions immediately turned ugly. The way she glanced at Shen Ling Han was almost like looking at a plague.

Chu Junyi was keenly aware of his expression, and she had a faint feeling that Shen Ninghua and the Prefecture Overseer of the Capital were somehow in control of something that caused them to be wary of him.

"Are you Manager Zhang from the Treasure House?"

"Milord, it is indeed this commoner."

"Then let me ask you, did you sell this Luminous Pearl to Miss Shen?"

Shopkeeper Zhang was so scared that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. "No, this humble one has never sold any Night Pearls."

Shen Ling Han immediately said, "Nonsense, a few days ago, I brought my maidservant Xia and Chun Xi to buy the pearl that you sold to me."

The official then coldly shouted, "Shopkeeper Zhang, how dare you not speak the truth? Do you really want me to execute you?"

The shopkeeper seemed to have been scared out of his wits and knelt on the ground, trembling like he was sifting chaff. "This subject has done so, this subject has done it all. Sir, this subject sold the Night Pearls to this lady, but this subject sold them in perfect condition.

"This bead is extremely expensive. Where did you get it from?" Baili JinChuan frowned and asked.

Manager Zhang was a bit hesitant. "This..."

"Why are you hesitating? The Second Prince is asking you a question and yet you're still not being honest with him?"

"Reporting to the Second Prince, a masked woman brought a pearl for sale. She said that the pearl came from the Xia Clan, and was a heirloom of the Xia Clan." This commoner was momentarily bewitched, so he bought the pearl, hoping to make a huge profit. Milord, please spare my life. "

Shen Ling Han's eyes widened, "Something from the Xia family..." Things from the Xia Family... Shen Ninghua, it's you! "
