There was heavy snowfall above the mourning hall of Ding'an Marquis Mansion.
In order to pay off a gambling debt of 3,000 taels, stepmother Liu forced her legitimate daughter Xie Lingyi to wear red and colorful clothes to celebrate the death of Yongning Bo's son, whose life was hanging by a thread. If the prince dies, she will be buried with him in the name of "Kefu".
In desperation, she dug out a book of fake accounts left behind by her deceased mother - if you read it straight, it was false, but if you read it backward, it was true. The last name read backwards was linked to the tragedy of the Shen family's destruction ten years ago.
She didn't cry. She compiled a letter and sent it to the Prince Regent's Palace. It only contained four words: Shen's Account Book.
The next day, the python-patterned car parked in front of the Hou Mansion.
Everyone in the capital thought that the regent Pei Du just picked up a poor canary and kept it to relieve his boredom. Unexpectedly, this canary can reveal the corruption in the court with one abacus, and uncover the irrefutable evidence of the Shen family's massacre with the other hand.
She helped him clean up the court, and he took root in her heart.
After the defeat of Ding'an Hou Mansion, Mrs. Liu knelt in the snow and cried, begging her to remember her old love. Xie Lingyi, dressed in imperial robes, smiled coldly and distantly: "Mother, it's late."
Pei Du took her into his arms and looked coldly at the kneeling person: "What does this king's concubine have to do with you?"
[Sober and tenacious·Down and out noble lady × Sinister and ruthless·Doting wife and regent]
[The heroine is not the canary being saved, she is the chess player in charge of the abacus]
Purpose: Borrow an abacus to break a dead game; use a transaction to exchange sincerity
