"If you think so, it's the best." After that, Lu Yan pushed her hand away from the corner of her clothes.
At this time, Yang Zong knocked on the door from outside, "Master Shizi."
"Come in." Lu Yan said.
When Yang Zong saw Shen Zhen, he hesitated to speak, but Lu Yan didn't mean to avoid it at all, and said directly: "I'll say it here."
Yang Zong nodded, "Since Liu Yu sent the money to Qianyinpu, it was true that there was no storm at first, but in the past two days, whether it was at the Pingkangfang or the Qianzhuang, the wine shop and the teahouse were all discussing this matter. The subordinates feel that someone is deliberately using a hidden stake to inquire about the news."
"Where's Liu Yuren?"
"According to the instructions of the prince, I have already gone to Qizhou, which is opposite to Yangzhou." Shen Hong was sent to Yangzhou, while Liu Yu, who was going to pay back the money, went to Qizhou in order to blur the sight of others.
"Besides that... Yesterday, the wife of the Li family went to the Baixiang Pavilion in the West City and went to the Luyuan before dark."
The people in this room were unaware of who Shen Yan went to Baixiang Pavilion to find.
Shen Zhen's heart couldn't help but twitch.
Her white jade hands rested on the table legs, secretly exerting force. God knows how much she wanted to ask about Hong'er's current situation, and how much she wanted to report her eldest sister's safety.
But she couldn't speak.
There is no other reason. After parting with Hong'er that day, Yang Zong asked her to keep one thing in mind - in addition to keeping the life of the Shen family's young master, she should not ask Lu Yan for anything in the future, including inquiries about the Shen family, if it is bad With the rules, that girl Shen can walk out of Chengyuan.
But how could she not hear it today if she was asked to hear it
The tip of her nose was sour, and her eyes blurred for a moment.
At this moment, Lu Yan seemed to sense something, covered his chest, and glanced at her with a frown.
He raised his hand and pinched Shen Zhen Baisheng's tender chin, and said slowly, "What did I tell you?"
Shen Zhen took a long breath and swallowed the tears.
—
There are four large golden nanmu screens in the clean room, and the dense heat goes from bottom to top. After Lu Yan left, Shen Zhen sat in the wooden barrel and soaked for a whole afternoon.
until the water temperature cools.
It only took this afternoon to go from being extremely aggrieved to completely calm down.
She got up slowly, stepped out of the tub, and put on some clothes.
At this moment, Mo Yue wanted to ask Shen Zhen if she still needed to add hot water, but as soon as she entered, she couldn't help but suffocate by the sight in front of her.
It was only at this moment that she understood why the son-in-law, who didn't even have a concubine, suddenly avoided everyone and raised an outer room.
Her long legs are white and slender, standing straight, with a deep waistline, which just sets off the towering, looming butterfly bones, which are like meticulous carvings.
Shen Zhen returned to the bed and sat on her knees.
The faint moonlight shone through the branch window, covering her feet, and the silver light was shining. Shen Zhen completely understood why he asked Yang Zong to say those words in front of him this morning.
I have to say that sometimes people's growth seems to be an overnight thing.
There is no good for no reason in this world. Nor would any man come to her house for the night without any reason.
It's just that the noble son of the Duke's Mansion is very noble. If he wants something, he will neither force anyone to come, nor condescend to coax anyone.
What's more, she is neither a wife nor a concubine, just an outside room.
Thinking of this, Shen Zhen clenched her hands tightly, as if in a daze, recalling all the things of yesterday.
It's not that he didn't give her a chance.
The first time he asked, "When you were in the Hou Mansion, did you also sleep in your coat?"
The second time he asked again, "Are you going to sit like this all night?"
exactly twice.
It's a pity that she didn't understand anything last night, she just wanted to live by it, he just sneered and fell asleep.
He clearly did not allow her to intervene in the Shen family's affairs, but he deliberately asked Yang Zong to report the current situation of the capital in front of her. He did so, firstly, to let her see the current situation clearly, and secondly to let her know that he did not She doesn't owe the Shen family anything, and she has no right to ask him to do anything.
But as for what he will do in the future, it is up to her.

In the evening, Lu Yan scattered and stooped into the carriage. Yang Zong lowered his head and asked, "Is the eldest son going back to the manor today, or to Chengyuan?"
Lu Yan lowered his eyes and pressed his index finger to his lips, "Go back to the house."
Some people naturally have to wait to wake up. What's the point of this unwilling thing? He doesn't have that compulsive habit.
But as soon as he returned to the mansion, he saw the Meng family daughter unsurprisingly.
Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Wen were playing chess in the pavilion next to the Yunlan Pond in the mansion, while Meng Suxi stood behind Mrs. Lu to give advice. From a distance, she was happy.
Suxi, but Meng Suxi raised her eyes and saw him first. She leaned over and tugged at the corner of Wen's clothes, and said in a low voice, "Auntie, it's the son-in-law who is back."
Recently, Lu Yan's attitude towards Meng Suxi has changed, and everyone can see it. Mrs. Lu thought that their good things were coming, so she quickly waved, "Brother Yan, come here."
Lu Yan walked over and said hello one by one.
And Meng Suxi looked at him with a hint of cowardice, the old lady smiled and said, "Brother Yan, where did you go yesterday?"
It is normal for officials to live out of the house. Since he became an adult, his family rarely asks about these matters. After hearing this, Lu Yan asked instead, "What's the matter, but my grandmother has something to do with my grandson?"
Mrs. Lu glanced at Meng Suxi, and then said, "Yesterday, Suxi painted a new painting, waiting to show it to you, but you didn't come back. I see that this day, she stared at the Zhenguo Gong's mansion. look at the door."
As soon as the words fell, Meng Suxi immediately blushed and said hurriedly: "Old lady, don't make fun of Suxi, the eldest son is busy with official business, and you can take the time to guide me. Suxi is very grateful, how dare you not dare to spend a lot of time every day. annoying him"
"Okay, it seems that I am talking too much." Mrs. Lu said with a smile.
Meng Suxi smiled bitterly on the side, like a helpless look that could not be washed away even after falling into the Yellow River.
Then he glanced at Lu Yan helplessly.
The afterglow of the setting sun hit Lu Yan's side face, I have to say that his skin is the best she has ever seen in her life, his eyes are deep, his nose is like a dangling beam, and everything is beautiful, even if her mother told him that her lips A slightly thin man doesn't hurt people, and it's a little cool, but in her eyes, it's also a seductive coolness.
When she was playing chess with him two days ago, she saw him dressed in white, holding the white child with both fingers and slowly falling, and she was thinking, if she could become a husband and wife with such a person, she would be willing to pour out some affection. go in.
Just when Meng Suxi thought that Lu Yanyan was helping her out, Lu Yan said, "Grandson is a little tired today, so I won't disturb the Yaxing of my grandmother and third aunt."
Wen said, "No one in this yamen has a leisurely life. Brother Yan, you can go."
Waiting to see, only his back is left.
Meng Suxi's eyes dimmed.
I have to say that once this woman falls in love with a man, her figure will involuntarily drop again and again, even if she is a woman from the Meng family who is full of poetry and books and is pretentious, she is also panicked at this time.
For fear that he would make him unhappy.
She looked back at Mrs. Lu and whispered, "Mrs. Lu, can I go see him?"
It was her own child who gave other girls a cold face, so Mrs. Lu naturally could only nod her head, and then pretended to be angry: "Go, if he says something unpleasant, come back and tell your grandmother, and grandmother will train him for you."
Meng Suxi smiled and said why, and then chased out.
She walked quickly to his study, and then lightly locked the door, "Is Shizi there?"
After waiting for a while, she knocked again.
Lu Yan felt helpless, got up and opened the door, but blocked the door and did not let her in, "Is something wrong with Miss Meng?"
Meng Suxi whispered, "Just now, did Suxi say something that made the prince unhappy?"
Lu Yan glared at her and said slowly, "No, Miss Meng, don't think about it." Then he seemed to think of something, and said, "Also, there are quite a few yamen's papers scattered around in my study. If you don’t enter outsiders, please ask Miss Meng not to step into this place in the future, please forgive me.”
outsider.
Meng Suxi bit her lower lip.
Lu Yan raised her eyebrows and asked her, "Does Miss Meng have anything else?"
Meng Suxi said, "No more, Shi Ziye should rest earlier."
The study door slowly closed.
But just as he turned around, a faint scent entered his nose, and Meng Suxi was stunned for a moment.
Fang Cai had many people, and most of them were female dependents, so she didn't pay attention at all. But right now it's just the two of them, and the scent is either his or his.
He didn't return all night, how could there be a woman incense.
