After becoming pregnant, the cold-hearted nobles all went mad.

"What method?"

Jiang subconsciously pressed for more information.

Shen Lingyi smiled slyly and said that she had to keep it a secret and couldn't tell her right now.

Jiang was somewhat apprehensive, but thinking that even if something really happened, she could protect her, she decided to let her go.

Shen Lingyi's plan was still to start with Granny Feng, but not Granny Feng herself.

"Miss, you were absolutely right! Feng Yao, the son of Granny Feng, owed a huge sum of money gambling just last month!" Peony said with a hint of excitement.

Shen Lingyi smiled slightly. This was something she had read in a storybook. The original plot was about Shen Tingjiao helping Granny Feng's son pay off his gambling debts and winning people's hearts.

Granny Feng, who had watched her grow up since she was a child, was extremely loyal.

Shen Lingyi certainly wouldn't be the one to take the fall; Shen Tingjiao had originally used the family's money to settle the accounts.

The latter doesn't care, but why should she spend her family's money for a parasite?

After learning that Feng Yao was hiding from his debts and hadn't dared to go home for several days, Shen Lingyi had an idea.

"Granny Feng was just fined by the old lady. Go and tell her about it."

"Yes."

Peony was a little excited. For some reason, she was always particularly eager to do this kind of thing with the lady.

Shen Lingyi waited a few days until Granny Feng could no longer hold back and was about to take action before leading people to catch the thief.

At this moment, in the storeroom, Granny Feng furtively dismissed the others and then anxiously began to flip through the account books.

The government receives a lot of things at the beginning of each month, but they are only registered slowly when there is time.

This will lead to some things that are not on the books.

In the past, she dared not touch these things. If she wanted to make a profit, she would only cheat a little bit when purchasing, which was better than being caught red-handed.

The old lady turned a blind eye to this.

This greatly emboldened Granny Feng, to the point that she now dares to commit crimes against the wind when her son is about to have his hand chopped off.

As Granny Feng searched, she muttered, "Where's the bottom of the newly arrived red coral basin...? It's right here."

The red coral basin was a gift from the Jiang family. Such enviable treasures were nothing more than objects used to win a smile from Shen Lingyi.

Granny Feng naturally set her sights on it. In her opinion, since there were so many things piled up in Shen Lingyi's room, she didn't even bother to look at them.

Since those things are useless to her, why can't I take them?

Just as her eyes lit up and she held a huge coral in her arms as if it were a precious treasure.

The door suddenly opened, and the light was so bright that Granny Feng instinctively squinted.

Shen Lingyi, holding a torch and followed by a group of maids and guards, asked, "Granny Feng, what are you doing here so late?"

Granny Feng hurriedly tried to explain, "This old servant is only on the orders of the old lady to take inventory of the storeroom. Why is the second young lady making such a fuss? Be careful not to disturb the old lady's rest."

Shen Lingyi chuckled and her gaze fell on the pot of dazzling red coral.

When Granny Feng saw the corner of the brocade that was peeking out from her bosom, which was the priceless brocade she had tucked in earlier, her heart began to pound.

Shen Lingyi pointed at Granny Feng and said, "Even now you dare to argue! Seize Granny Feng! I'm going to ask the Old Madam if she knows she has a traitor in her ranks!"

How could Granny Feng possibly go?

But these maids and guards weren't pushovers; they weren't going to let a frail old woman like her get away.

Granny Feng was thus brought before the old lady.

Ning Shou Tang.

The old lady looked at the scene before her, her hands trembling with anger: "What are you doing? Are you bringing someone here in the middle of the night to show off to this old woman?"

"Grandmother, you've misunderstood your granddaughter. I just happened to be passing by the storeroom and heard some noise. I thought it was some audacious thief daring to break into my General's Mansion, but who knew it was just Granny Feng." Shen Lingyi sighed dramatically.

"Even my grandmother, who was wise all her life, made mistakes. She didn't even know there was a thief among her men, so I had to take her place..."

"you!"

Leaving aside the fact that the old lady suffered a heart attack from anger, she understood that the most important thing right now was to distance herself from the situation.

Granny Feng, however, was not about to be given up on so easily: "Madam, the Second Miss has set a trap for me. Please don't fall for her trick."

Upon hearing this, Shen Lingyi burst out laughing.

She toyed with her slender, white fingers, raising a slight smirk as she said, "That's well said, but if it weren't for Granny Feng's unwavering dedication, how could I have managed to pull this off?"

The old lady's face couldn't be uglier. She coldly glanced at the fool kneeling on the ground and didn't want to look at him again.

She knew that Granny Feng was a bit greedy for small gains.

She indulged him because he was an elderly person living next to her.

But the old lady didn't expect that not only would she be greedy for a bargain, but she would also be caught red-handed by Shen Lingyi!

Jiang arrived late and was taken aback by the scene. After a few whispered words from Shaoyao, she quickly understood.

So this is the "solution" Shen Lingyi was talking about.

She suddenly found it a little funny; it was the first time she had ever seen the old lady get the short end of the stick.

The old lady took a breath and finally conceded: "I didn't know that Granny Feng was so audacious, and I actually thought of forgiving her once in a while. I really shouldn't have!"

He paused, then turned to berate the old woman, Feng, lying on the ground: "The mansion has never mistreated you, yet you repay kindness with enmity. It seems this general's mansion truly cannot tolerate you!"

"No, Madam!" Granny Feng panicked and scrambled to the old lady's feet, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

The old lady didn't even glance at it.

Shen Lingyi didn't know before who Shen Tingjiao learned her ruthlessness from, but now she understands it all.

But if the old lady thinks she can just let it go like this, wouldn't she be underestimating her?

Looking at Granny Feng, whose forehead was bleeding from kowtows, Shen Lingyi seemed to suddenly feel sorry for her. "Granny Feng has been in the mansion for many years. She has certainly worked hard, even if she hasn't made any great contributions. With her leaving, I'm afraid Granny Ning will have to take on more of the purchasing duties."

Upon hearing this, the old lady's heart skipped a beat, and she realized what was going on.

She sneered at Shen Lingyi, "You really have learned your mother's business acumen perfectly."

After saying that, he snorted coldly and left.

Shen Lingyi walked up to the distraught Granny Feng, took out a few copper coins and placed them in her hand, her voice clear and crisp: "Granny, you should keep these safe, after all, your son still owes a large sum of money that needs to be repaid."

"You little slut, I'll kill you!"

Granny Feng tried to rush up and make things difficult for her, but Jiang ordered her men to hold her firmly to the ground.

Shen Lingyi glanced down at her, then hooked her arm around her mother's and went back.

This can be considered her revenge for the previous times that Granny Feng had deliberately made things difficult for her.
