Tang Shishi put her hand on the door, unable to decide what to do next for a long time.

According to the principle, there was no need to hesitate when encountered such a situation. Shizi's situation was suspicious, and she was the only witness on the scene. What was she waiting for at this time? However, Tang Shishi has stepped on too many pits before, which made her unable to believe her own judgment at all.

Tang Shishi withdrew her hand, put it on her heart, and asked herself honestly, "According to my heart, excluding all considerations, what do I want to do?"

Tang Shishi quickly came up with the answer, and of course, she should have gone in according to her way of thinking. Then this difficult problem would have been solved. In the past, she followed her own heart and made many mistakes, for instance, the assassin in the relay post station and the bathing in the lake. Every time, she chose the wrong one accurately. According to this pattern, she should choose the opposite one than her inner thoughts this time, so that she would be right.

She originally wanted to go in, but after reexamining her options, she should not go in.

Tang Shishi praised herself silently, she was so smart! Tang Shishi immediately ran out while lifting her skirt in her hand. In the middle of her escape, she felt that something was wrong. If something happened tonight, how could she prove that she had never been there?

Tang Shishi groaned. Suddenly, she was struck by an aha moment and came up with a brilliant idea.

Just in case, she should find a witness for herself? Zhou Shunhua was ruled out by Tang Shishi in an instant. Even if she has to throw the script to the ground and grind it into powder causing the plot to collapse in the middle of the story and no one could become the empress dowager, she would never give Zhou Shunhua any benefit!

As for Lu Yufei, Tang Shishi dared to guarantee that if she brought Lu Yufei over, no matter what happened, the black pot would have gone to Tang Shishi's, and the credit would have gone to Lu Yufei's. Others also have their own shortcomings. Ji Xinxian was too brainless, Feng Xi was too insidious, and Dujuan was her own servant girl who could not testify for her. Tang Shishi counted back and forth and found that there was no such person that she could trust in such a big mansion.

Tang Shishi was shocked. How could she be such a failure? However, there was no time to be sad now. Tang Shishi looked at the pitch-black door, gritted her teeth, and decided.

She would look for Zhao Chengjun.

With Zhao Chengjun, no matter the outcomes were good or bad, Tang Shishi could prove her innocence and get away with it.

Once Tang Shishi decided, she would never be muddled. She immediately changed direction and ran towards the study room quickly. Tang Shishi was very familiar with the direction to the study room, she was sure that Zhao Chengjun must be in the study now.

The study room was brightly lit and quiet, only the sound of crackling of a lamp could be heard. Zhao Chengjun turned a page of the book, his eyebrow moved, and slowly raised his eyes.

Along with his movements, a sound of running came from outside the room. Tang Shishi ran all the way panting and opened the door. Her hair was loose, her clothes were messy, and her mouth was still panting intensely.

Tang Shishi did not care about her current image, she hurried entered the inner room, and said with difficulty, "Wangye..."

Zhao Chengjun put down his book and walked out from the partition-off area slowly. He glanced at Tang Shishi and finally got to have some fun during his boring holiday.

Zhao Chengjun sat down on the chair calmly, poured himself a cup of tea, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Tang Shishi breathed deeply which made it easier to breathe. She walked to Zhao Chengjun in a hurry, and said nonstop, "Wangye, something big happened. I drank too much at the banquet and came out to sober up. So happened to see a dark figure stumbled by. From the back, it seemed to be Shizi."
