Yanfufang, Li House.
The quiet moon hangs in the sky, the courtyards are lit with lights, the wind blows over the eaves, the orange lanterns sway gently, flickering brightly and dimly, making people feel uneasy at first glance.
Qingli hurriedly ran in and said, "Girl, my uncle has returned to the mansion, and is currently discussing matters with others in the study."
Since Shen Wenqi took the post of chief river defense envoy to eastern Henan, Li Di has not returned to his home for many days because of the water conservancy project in Wannian County. Tonight, when he is free, he will definitely come to ask the teacher Shen Jiaxing to ask his guilt.
Qingli paced back and forth, clutching her heart that was about to jump out of her throat and said, "Girl, do we need to find some people to guard the door?"
"No need." Shen Hao took a sip of tea, "This is Li's house, and all the people in the yard are his people, so I'll just act as soon as possible."
Qingli nodded, "Got it."
After a while, Shen Yan took out a small half bag of mashed medicinal powder from the drawer and slowly sprinkled it into the kettle.
Sitting in front of the makeup, she rubbed a thin layer of powder on the bottom of her eyes and lips, and she was a little haggard.
Li Di strode into Shen Yan's yard.
"I'm going into my wife's yard, do I need you to inform me? Get up!" The footsteps were heavier, and every step touched Qingli's heart.
She was afraid that Li Di would fight with Shen Jiao.
The door creaked.
Shen Yan sat on the couch and stared at him.
The moon-white robe on Li Di's body is noble and luxurious, and the jade pendant on his waist is also a rare treasure.
The collar is slightly open and the neck is slightly red, and it looks like he has been drinking.
Li Di walked up to Shen Zhuo, pinched her chin, and raised it, "Are you very proud?"
"You drank too much." Shen Yan got up, walked to the table next to her, and distanced herself from him.
"Father-in-law was released from prison, and most of the court fell to him, are you proud?" Li Di grabbed her wrist and raised it in the opposite direction, "Answer me!"
Shen Yan frowned, "You hurt me."
"I said why do you always run to Dali Temple." He chuckled in a low voice, "You already knew it! My father-in-law compiled two world-shattering books in the prison of Dali Temple, you can't understand it! I want to wait. Look at my jokes? Huh?"
As I said that, the strength in my hand increased.
Shen Yan smelled the alcohol on his body, took a deep breath, and suppressed the disgust in her heart.
Turning your face with him now doesn't make any sense.
"I'm the wife of the Li family. What's it good for me to laugh at you?" Shen Hao looked back at him, and pea-sized tears fell from the corner of her eyes.
Seeing her cry, because of her four-year habit, Li Di couldn't help but be taken aback.
He thought that according to Chen Yan's temper, he would tell him coldly, just as they had just torn their faces, that he lost, he was wrong, he deserved it, and he took the blame.
Of course, why not
Seeing the moving look in his eyes, Shen Yan quickly broke free of his shackles while he lost strength in his hands.
Raising his hand to wipe his tears, he asked him with a trembling voice, "You are my husband, but what else can you do besides bully me?"
Yingying burst into tears, full of grievances, grievances he had never seen before.
Li Di froze in place.
Lang Jun, how long has he not heard these two words
He sank in his heart, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said: "Shen Yan, don't play tricks with me, don't forget the activities of father-in-law and Ruth, if you dare to plot against me, none of us will have a better life, you..."
Before Li Di could finish speaking, Shen Yan raised her hand and waved the mirror in front of her makeup to the ground, "Do you think I'll forget about these?"
Shen Hao took a step forward, grabbed Li Di's shirt, and said word by word, "Did you know that Shen Zhen hasn't married yet! Did you know that Shen Hong hasn't grown up yet!"
"Since you have a handle in your hand that can break the net with the Shen family, how can I still count on you!"
Li Di had trouble breathing.
"Li Di, even if the Xu family will plot against you, I won't." Shen Yan looked into his eyes and said softly: "My life is already like this, I accept my fate, do you understand?"
Li Di narrowed his eyes, looked at her for a long time, raised his hand and poured himself a cup of tea.
All in one drink.
Shen Hao continued: "You once told me that there is more than one road for the Shen family. Today, I will return the words to you. There is a way for you to go in the East Palace. Will you go?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Di felt a dull pain in his chest.
"Li Di, what's wrong with you?" Shen Yan asked nervously.
"What happened to you?"
Li Di glanced at the tea cup and said intermittently: "Yes, is it you... give me..."
Everything in front of me is getting blurry.
Shen Yan didn't listen to him continue, but turned around and shouted at the door: "Someone! Come on! Hurry up and call a doctor!"
Qingli ran in, saw this, shook her mouth and said, "Madam! What's the matter?"
"Come and find a doctor! Don't stay here!"
"Hey, hey, this servant is going!" Qingli immediately ran away.
Shen Yan stepped out the door and said to the maid in the courtyard, "Don't spread the news in the courtyard tonight, they are all guarded here. If anyone makes the old lady mad, I will find a toothmaid to send her away. ."
"Yes." Several maids bowed.
After settling down Li Di's place, Shen Jiao immediately walked towards the study and saw Li Di's personal bodyguard, Dong Ming.
Shen Yan frowned and said coldly, "Lang Jun suddenly had a heart attack, and now his life is at stake. Let me ask you, where did he drink the wine?"
The guard said solemnly: "Madam forgive me, I can't talk about the matter of the master."
"Can't you tell?" Shen Yan chuckled and said, "If something happens to you tonight, Mr. Lang! I'll tell you to pay with your life!"
After a long while, Dong Ming stumbled and said, "The Hundred Opera House in the West and West City."
"Baixilou? You leave immediately, go to Baixilou to find out what he drank and ate tonight! Whoever he has been in contact with! No one is allowed to fall, hurry up!"
"Madame means..."
"I've been married to him for five years, and I've never seen him suffer from a heart attack. I'm afraid he was poisoned."
"It's impossible!" Dong Ming said.
"Dong Ming, I know you are loyal to the Lord, but what if he can't wake up tonight? Who are you protecting?"
The guard looked back at the direction of the study, hesitated again and again, and bowed to take orders.
The huge yard was empty and there was not much time left for her.
Shen Yan avoided the others, quietly pushed open the door of the study, holding a lamp in her hand, carefully inspecting the shelves from left to right.
Finally, I saw the account book again...
After half an hour, Shen Yan blew out the light and put the transcribed paper into her cuff.
When he returned to Shi'an Garden, Dr. Sun was giving Li Di a pulse.
Li Di also slowly opened his eyes.
Shen Hao quickly approached and asked with concern, "Doctor, what's the matter with him?"
Dr. Sun shook his head and said, "The old man just gave the adult salvia, and the adult woke up. Based on the old man's experience, this seems to be a sudden heart attack due to drinking."
"Sudden heart disease?" Shen Yan said: "But he has never had it before... Dare to ask the doctor, will this disease happen again in the future?"
Dr. Sun stroked his beard and said, "My lord is upright and in his prime. As long as he cultivates well, there will be no major problems. Just be careful when drinking alcohol in the future."
Li Di nodded.
After Doctor Sun left, Li Di looked at Shen Yan for a long time and said, "Where did you go?"
"Study, I went to see Dong Ming."
Li Di frowned and said hoarsely, "What are you doing there?"
Shen Yan said directly: "You passed out for no reason, I naturally want to ask him what you are doing today."
"Where's Dong Ming?"
"At first I thought someone had given you medicine, so I told him to go to Baixi Lou."
Li Di was silent for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking, the candlelight in the room flickered, like a swaying heart.
"Why save me?" he said suddenly.
Shen Yan said softly: "I'm afraid that something will happen to you, and then the Xu family will frame it for me, saying that I murdered my husband."
Li Di laughed at himself, "It's something the Xu family would do."
"Come on."
"I know you want to divorce me, but even if you do, can you remarry? Even if Dajin's folk customs are much more open than before, women's second marriages are mostly low-level marriages. You have always been proud, so it's better to take a break. Mind, have a good time with me."
Shen Yan sneered.
Li Di clasped her wrist again, "You give me a baby, and I'll find a way to send my auntie away. I won't mention those things in the future."
Shen Yan said softly, "You should rest first."
Li Di knew that the matter between them could not be made clear overnight, and coupled with the discomfort, he quickly closed his eyes.
In the darkness, Shen Yan looked at his eyebrows, her fingertips faintly pale.
have a good time
Li Di.
If it weren't for you, my father wouldn't have gone to jail.
If it weren't for you, Shen Zhen wouldn't have been reduced to being an outer chamber for others.
It's fine if you hurt me, but you shouldn't ruin the Shen family.
If the person who sat on the throne today was the sixth prince, would you still have the slightest bit of unbearable heart
I'm afraid, my Shen family is full, and there is no trace of peace.
Between you and me, how can it be possible to have a good life and forget it.
…
The night was uneventful, and the sun rose as usual the next day.
Shen Hao put on her ear tie and got up, and said softly to Qingli, "Call someone to prepare the car."
Li Di said behind him, "Where are you going?"
"Go to Dongshi to buy some tea, calligraphy and painting." Shen Yan turned back and explained, "It will be August and October 5th, and everyone will welcome them to send them, and these things must be purchased in advance."
Li Di nodded and said "um".
Shen Hao went out and got on the carriage, and whispered to Qingli, "Has the tea been cleaned?" According to Li Di's thoughts, as soon as she leaves today, he will thoroughly investigate the Li residence.
"Don't worry, girl, it was cleaned up yesterday, and there will be no flaws."
"it is good."
The carriage stopped in front of a shortbread shop in Dongshi, and Qingli helped Shen Ji out of the carriage.
Shen Hao walked several shops in a row, and soon, Qingli's hands were full of large and small parcels. In the evening, throwing off her tail, she came to a bookstore.
Stepping through the door, he said to the shopkeeper, "Do you still have Mr. Jingrong's words?"
The shopkeeper's eyes paused, "Madam, please come on the second floor."
She put on her skirt and went upstairs, kept walking to the left, stopped, raised her hand, and knocked on the door.
"Enter."
Even through a door, Shen Yan could guess the speaker's appearance. Those dark and deep eyes must be half warm, half teasing smile.
Shen Yan closed the door with a backhand, and said softly, "I've been delayed on the road, please forgive me, Lord Zhou."
Zhou Shuan put down the scroll in his hand and looked up at her.
"It's okay."
The corner of the man's mouth contained a faint smile.
Shen Yan walked up to him, put a box of shortbread on the table top, and whispered, "I bought it for you."
