After breaking off the marriage, the Zhuangyuan Lang who was picked up was dressed weakly every day
Chapter 186 The Uninvited Guest
Chapter 186 The Uninvited Guest
"Jinyifang" was not far from Qin Yuehuai's residence, and the two entered the hospital despite the thunderstorm.
Shen Yanhan wanted to see Qin Yuehuai's so-called wine jar as soon as possible, and didn't think much about anything else for a while. It wasn't until she followed Qin Yuehuai into a room that she realized belatedly that she was returning home with someone in the middle of the night. , What a hasty decision I made.
Qin Yuehuai took her not into the hall where guests were received, but into his bedroom.The reason why she could tell at a glance that this room was a bedroom was because the furnishings in this room were extremely simple. Apart from a bed, a wardrobe, and only a wooden raft for holding clothes, the furnishings in the room were clearly visible.
Seeing this room, Shen Yanhan turned around and glared at Qin Yuehuai: "Why did you bring me to the bedroom? Is your wine jar here?"
When she turned her head, she realized that Qin Yuehuai's entire face was wet, and there were even raindrops dripping on his chin. Following the direction of the dripping water, it could be seen that most of his thin clothes were wet and stuck to his chest. The inner contours are clearly revealed.
Looking back at myself, except for the shoes that were a little wet when I stepped on the ground, my whole body was dry as usual from top to bottom.
It was not difficult to see that he had just put the entire umbrella over her body to protect her.
Shen Yanhan was briefly distracted at this moment.
It was raining and windy in the courtyard, and there was lightning and thunder. The water on Qin Yuehuai's chin seemed to drip into her heart, causing ripples.
Qin Yuehuai looked at her and answered frankly: "I'll change my clothes first. I'm too wet. I'll have to go to work in the next few days - Ah Sneeze!"
Before he finished speaking, he covered his sleeves and sneezed.
This kind of action obviously didn't seem to be fake, and the purpose of his change of clothes was not fake, but Shen Yanhan was still unreasonably vigilant: "I can go to the hall to wait for you first."
Qin Yuehuai took off his clothes and belt and said, "There is no one else here. Yang Dong has also gone out. I don't worry about you being alone in another room."
Shen Yanhan saw that he was not shy in front of her, and he might even be taking off his clothes on purpose. She immediately turned her back and asked, "Why don't you hire someone? Aren't you very rich?"
Qin Yuehuai answered her: "I have only just joined the officialdom. It has already cost too much to 'rent' this house. I should not have any money left to hire people."
Not having rest for most of the night made Shen Yanhan's mind not as sharp as usual. She could not realize Qin Yuehuai's identity in this world for a moment. She only felt that his words were inconsistent, and she turned around and said: "You just said this clearly You bought the house!"
As soon as she turned around, she saw that the man who had half of his clothes off had more scars on his chest and abdomen than she had ever seen. They were criss-crossed with scars of varying depths and lengths, which could be described as ferocious and terrifying.
Shen Yanhan's eyes suddenly froze.
Although she had had skin-to-skin contact with him, she was so drunk that she was so drunk that even after seeing the scars, she never asked him about it because of shame and anger.Suddenly seeing Qin Yuehuai's scarred body, she couldn't help being shocked and distressed again.
Not to mention that he was the closest person to her, but whose flesh is not flesh and whose body is not body?
Shen Yanhan pointed in front of him: "How did you... get here?"
She was finally willing to ask about his injuries, and Qin Yuehuai took the opportunity to explain: "I was injured when I was being chased."
Shen Yanhan: "Who is chasing you?"
Qin Yuehuai explained to her what happened that day from Meng Mansion, and finally said: "I narrowly escaped death at that time, and I also guessed that the people who were chasing me would not give up, so I didn't dare to act rashly or send a message back. I came to the city to avoid being discovered, and it was not until I recovered more than half of my body during the scientific examination that Yang Dong knew I was not dead."
This was an explanation for why he didn't give her any news in the first place. The last words contained the word "death", which made Shen Yanhan couldn't help but feel frightened.
Her eyes are always clear, and when she is completely unguarded, it is easy for people to look at her to the end.
Qin Yuehuai looked at her with pain in his eyes. It was true that he wanted to win her sympathy, but it was also true that he couldn't bear her doing so.
He stepped forward so that she could see more clearly, and said with relief: "Don't worry, these scars just look scary, nothing serious. It's all over, and I'm still living well now."
Qin Qilang may not have expected that his words of comfort to Shen Yanhan would not only be heard by the young lady who was extremely sensitive to him, but she would also think of more.
It was at this moment that Shen Yanhan understood in an instant what he meant by "it has cost too much to rent this house": Qi Yan was born in poverty and could not afford such a house.
Shen Yanhan took a few breaths, then nodded and answered him: "Well, you're right, it's all over. If you survive the catastrophe, you will be blessed. You have a bright and excellent future."
The attitude was polite, the comfort was perfunctory, and even the smile at the end was very sincere, which made Qin Yuehuai's heart twitch.
"Jiaojiao..."
When he still wanted to speak, Shen Yanhan urged him: "Hurry up and change your clothes. It's getting late."
She turned her back again, leaving him with a silent figure.
Seeing her like this, Qin Yuehuai was afraid of going too far, so he had to suspend the topic and continue changing clothes.
Shen Yanhan was carrying him on her back. Although he couldn't see his body, the room was very quiet, but she could clearly hear the sounds of his clothes, which had become heavy due to water, falling to the floor, walking, opening and closing the wardrobe, and getting dressed.It's not like she hasn't seen him do these things before. It's inevitable that when she hears the sound, she can picture his behavior in her mind.
As the rustling of clothing material sounded, the scars seemed to be still dazzling in front of his eyes. Shen Yanhan imagined how he gradually covered up the scars on his body with a suit of clothes, just like in this world, his surname Qin's life experience was She was so well covered that she felt her heart sinking.
After a while, Qin Yuehuai said, "I've changed it."
Shen Yanhan secretly took a few deep breaths, turned around and came back. Seeing that he was wearing a sky blue robe, which was extremely elegant and well-fitting, she said, "Let's go."
*
The two moved to the hall.
The wine jar that Qin Yuehuai was talking about was placed in front of him, and there were still some traces of being covered with soil on the top of the jar.
Shen Yanhan looked around, raised his eyes and asked her, "Is this the only one?"
Qin Yuehuai looked at her with deep and unfathomable eyes. When their eyes met, he patiently replied: "This is the jar that has been dug out so far. There may be more, but the rain is too heavy at the moment. We can dig it out another day." dig."
The wine was in someone's yard, and it was up to the owner to decide whether to dig it up or not. He had already said so, so naturally Shen Yanhan couldn't say anything else.
It's just that when she followed Qi Yun to attend her daughter's wedding banquet, she only saw her daughter's red jar from a distance. At that time, she was young and had no interest in wine. Now she is not good at tasting wine. With her shallow knowledge, Xuexue stared at the wine jar in front of her for a long time, really unsure whether this thing was new or old, or whether Qi Yun had buried it for her to use.
Shen Yanhan pursed her lips and said "hmm" and frowned.
Qin Yuehuai looked at her coquettishness, which was rarely exposed to him nowadays, and said slowly: "Do you want to try it? You should be able to taste new wine and old wine."
Shen Yanhan was so surprised by his wit and understanding at this moment that she blurted out: "Is that okay?"
Her surprised eyes were like stars filled with stars, so bright that they mesmerized people.
Qin Yuehuai frowned at her for a while, then smiled gently at her: "I'll get the bowl."
After the two bowls were placed on the table, Qin Yuehuai opened the lid of the wine jar and poured wine into the two bowls one after another.
Such a scene suddenly brought Shen Yanhan's memory back to the night Qin Yuehuai drank with General Liu.That night, the husband also poured bowl after bowl of wine like this.But that night, she got so drunk that she even attacked King Qin Yuehuai.
The dusty past came back to life, lashing out at her self-esteem. Shen Yanhan was so upset that she wished she could destroy the memories of both parties at that time.
Seeing the wine pouring out of the wine jar, she stood up and suddenly grabbed Qin Yuehuai's wrist to pour the wine: "That's enough! That's all!"
Qin Yuehuai was unprepared. She shook his hand violently and spilled a lot of wine. Some of the wine flowed along the table and instantly flowed onto the robe he had just changed into.
Seeing this accident, Shen Yanhan immediately rushed to his side, grabbed his sleeve and wiped it on him, "Don't move yet, it's all wet."
Her fiery temper remained the same, and her anxious look on him remained the same. At this moment, Qin Yuehuai seemed to have returned to the time in Qingshui Village, where she always protected him.
He raised the corners of his lips with satisfaction and responded warmly: "Okay."
But just a few moments after he curved the corners of his mouth, Shen Yanhan suddenly stopped moving, raised her eyes, and looked into his eyes.
Their eyes met, and Shen Yanhan, who realized that he was impulsive, said to him, "I'm sorry, I was careless just now and soiled your clothes."
Listening to this extremely kind tone, and looking at this gentle gesture that did not belong to Shen Yanhan, it was difficult not to let the other party understand that she was afraid that he had misunderstood something.
The corners of Qin Yuehuai's mouth slowly straightened.
He lowered his eyes, whispered "Nothing", put down the wine jar in his hand, picked up one of the bowls, put it to his mouth and drank it all.
Obviously, unlike Liu Qi's boldness when he was drinking, this time he frowned slightly, his eyes were lonely, and he drank hard, drinking to drown his sorrows.
It's very like a person who has been wronged so much that he doesn't dare to tell anyone about his pain and just licks his wounds silently.
Shen Yanhan glanced at him twice, returned to where he was sitting angrily, and picked up another bowl of wine.
But after all, she was absent-minded and drank the first sip without knowing how serious it was.
A large gulp of strong liquor entered her throat. It tasted completely different from what she had imagined and what she had drunk before. Shen Yanhan's throat, which had just tasted spicy food, was stimulated by this, and it immediately felt like it was on fire. Almost as soon as she swallowed it , she was forced to burst into tears.
"Cough cough cough..."
Seeing this, Qin Yuehuai quickly approached her and reached out to pat her back.
After a long while, Shen Yanhan finally regained his composure.
The first moment she recovered, she revealed her true nature. She raised her face and asked Qin Yuehuai angrily: "It's so spicy, but you still drink that big bowl without changing your expression. Are you trying to trick me by pretending like this?" "
Seeing her getting angry from embarrassment, Qin Yuehuai paused and shook his head: "No."
When he retorted, due to the habit of getting along with him for a long time, Shen Yanhan pampered her, and she blurted out: "You have it! You know that I don't know how to drink, but you still didn't remind me that this wine is so strong that it hurts my tongue." It's so spicy that I'm numb." At this moment, the little lady, who was not showing off her attitude of resisting others, had red cheeks, her eyes were moving, and her eyebrows were so vivid that she felt very familiar to Qin Qilang.
He looked at her meaningfully and said, "It can't numb your tongue. You are exaggerating."
He still didn't believe it, so Shen Yanhan gave him an annoyed look.
Qin Yuehuai paused and said, "Show me."
Because he patted her on the back, the two of them were already very close at the moment, and their breaths were floating and exchanging. After Qin Yuehuai's words fell, an ambiguous atmosphere suddenly enveloped the world.
The familiar scent of sandalwood lingered on the tip of his nose. After hearing this, Shen Yanhan turned around and saw Qin Yuehuai's deep eyes were filled with seriousness, staring at her lips seriously, as if he was really curious about her tongue. Whether it's like being injured.
She couldn't understand it for a moment.
While she was thinking, Qin Yuehuai said warmly: "Is it really spicy?"
Shen Yanhan didn't respond. She watched him leaning forward, his tall nose getting closer to her inch by inch, with a hint of alcohol, and the strong alcohol she just drank seemed to be rushing towards her head, making her feel a little guilty. faint.
Qin Yuehuai looked at the little lady's dazed and charming look, and her heartbeat was beating fast. He stared at her lips and slowly moved closer to her. Although she was not drunk and obsessed with him, if they could finally get close, they would reach the same destination through different paths.
But just when he was full of expectations and felt that his dream was about to come true, the voice of an uninvited guest came from outside——
"Master Lang."
Shen Yanhan was like a cat jumping to a high place. Halfway through the jump, he didn't want to be frightened and fell straight down from mid-air.
She was so frightened that her hair stood on end, and she pushed Qin Yuehuai's face away.
Yang Dong stepped in and walked straight forward. When he saw Qin Yuehuai was drinking with the young lady in the clear room, his relatively motionless facial features became active for a rare moment, and he said "What did I see?" Panic expression.
After finally reaching this point, he was disturbed by someone. Qin Yuehuai stared at him with a look that wanted to stab someone.
Qin Yuehuai's mood has always been stable, and he rarely looks like this. Yang Dong quickly raised his finger and pointed at the door, "It's not closed."
He looked at the wine jar on the table with a questioning look in his eyes.
Qin Yuehuai turned a blind eye to his questions, but his face turned dark.
Yang Dong didn't dare to look at Qin Yuehuai like this, how could he say anything else?He looked at Shen Yanhan and called her, "Ms. Shen," with a sense of flattery.
Shen Yanhan hummed, his expression very calm.
When Qin Yuehuai disappeared, Yang Dong also disappeared at the same time. She was naturally worried about Yang Dong. When she saw him afterwards, he looked so heroic and heroic, and now she heard him call Master Qin Yuehuai, she felt it very clearly. How did people unite in Qingshui Village to hide the truth from her?
It would be a lie to say that I am not disappointed.
She always felt that the four of them were family in Qingshui Village.
Shen Yanhan's interest waned, he stood up and said, "I'm going back."
But at this moment, Qin Yuehuai stood up and asked Yang Dong, "But do you have something to talk about?"
Yang Dong immediately said: "A group of cars and people entered through the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion today. Judging from the appearance and clothing of those people, they are all from outside the country, and they look very much like those from Lijiazhai."
Upon hearing "Lijiazhai", Qin Yuehuai had no reaction for the time being, but Shen Yanhan was shocked and stopped in his tracks.
A group of bandits came into the city again. What are they going to do?
As if he heard the question in her mind, Qin Yuehuai asked Yang Dong: "Has their purpose been discovered?"
Yang Dong said: "I said I came to wish Mrs. Xiangguo her birthday."
Qin Yuehuai: "It's just a cover-up."
Shen Yanhan's curiosity became even higher. She looked at Qin Yuehuai who said this, and regardless of whether she had just left or not, she asked urgently: "Then what are they doing here?"
Qin Yuehuai looked at her: "It's time to prepare to pick up people."
Shen Yanhan: "Pick up Li Shen?" Qin Yuehuai once said that Li Shen is now in the Qin Prime Minister's Mansion.
Qin Yuehuai nodded and added: "And Wen Rong."
Wen Rong.
Shen Yanhan clenched her fists involuntarily.
If Wen Rong escapes now, how will her mother's revenge be avenged?
"Is there any way you can stop it?" There was never a moment more than at this moment when she wanted to hear him speak.
"Don't be anxious." Qin Yuehuai said, and then asked Yang Dong: "Has Zhao Tongpan's health improved?"
Zhao Si, the general judge of Lin'an Prefecture, has been ill since last month. It was said to be a common cold, but the illness lasted for more than half a month. Looking at the people from Lijiazhai who came in from Lin'an Prefecture, Qin Yuehuai immediately noticed that Zhao Si's illness came at the wrong time.Not to mention that the cases of Cai Yu, Wen Rong and others have not been solved. Someone must be trying to delay time, or maybe even planning something else.
Sure enough, Yang shook his head: "Still in bed."
Qin Yuehuai ordered: "Go and inform the Duke of Qi about this and ask him to go to Dingyuan Marquis as soon as possible. In addition, check to see if there were any abnormalities in Zhao Si's interpersonal communication, eating and drinking before he fell ill. Then ask Mencius Summarize some people and send one group to the Zhao Mansion, while the rest will guard the government office."
Seeing Qin Yuehuai's calm side again, he was completely different from the gentle and gentle person who always put her first in everything. Shen Yanhan should have thought he was hypocritical, but she had to admit that his current calmness It's like a reassurance.
Hearing his calm and strong voice, seeing how he spoke in an unhurried manner and arranged things in an orderly manner, she was indeed less worried about Wen Rong being rescued.
Qin Yuehuai thought for a moment and then said to Yang Dong: "The Lin'an government office has neglected its duties. Let Mencius Jian take a copy of it in court tomorrow morning." He had to force someone.
Yang Dong nodded and said, "I'll do it right away."
Before leaving, Yang Dong took out two letters from his arms and said, "He's from Yongzhou."
Qin Yuehuai reached out and took it.
Shen Yanhan was looking at the two of them, and she noticed the action of delivering and receiving letters. If she read it correctly, someone also painted a begonia flower in peach pink on one of the envelopes.
She saw this flower, and Qin Yuehuai naturally saw it too.
He raised his eyes and looked at Shen Yanhan. Just as he was about to explain that this was the first time, he saw her pointing at the letter in his hand and asking sincerely, "Are you thinking of a way to get them back to Lin'an Mansion as soon as possible?"
The fact was such a fact, but with the flower in front of him, he vaguely felt that his original intention seemed to be unusual when asked by Shen Yanhan.
Qin Yuehuai paused and said, "Uncle Deyuan is my grandfather's student and watched me be born."
His original intention was to introduce Zhang Jun's importance, but Shen Yanhan drew inferences and nodded: "The two families are family friends, and you have known each other since childhood."
She said "we have known each other since childhood", but her eyes were a little complicated, clearly expressing the meaning of "childhood sweethearts". Qin Yuehuai did not mention the Qin family, but said: "Qi Yan is a distant relative of the Zhang family. , Mrs. Zhang’s natal family.”
Shen Yanhan paused and then continued: "Then this is a letter written to 'cousin'?"
Normally, such a conversation would be nothing, but the word "cousin" was what she had used to call him. For the two of them, the ambiguity contained in these two words was indescribable.
Qin Yuehuai appreciated her words and asked her: "Jiao Jiao cares so much about the letters written by others, why don't you read them with me?"
After that, he opened the letter in front of her, as if he wanted to share it with her openly.
Shen Yanhan suddenly changed his face, "Who cares? You're just being sentimental!"
After that, she walked out without looking back.
Qin Yuehuai looked at her back and laughed softly.
He chased after him: "Slow down, I'll see you off."
The little lady said angrily: "No!"
Lang Jun said good-naturedly: "The road is so dark, you can't see it."
But he only got a response that was like a dog biting Lu Dongbin: "I want you to take care of it!"
After a while, Lang Jun's voice was helpless: "You're going to the wrong place, go here."
The little lady said in a delicate voice: "Did you deliberately lead me the wrong way?"
The sound of the two going back and forth floated in the wind and rain, breaking the silence of the long night.
*
In the morning of the next day, the imperial envoy Meng Changqing insisted on going out to the court and said to the people: "I am here to investigate the crime of dereliction of duty by the government office of Lin'an Prefecture."
After saying this, everyone in the court was shocked.
The top leader of the Lin'an government office is Fu Yin, and Fu Yin is none other than the eldest prince of the current dynasty, Zhao Yuankang.

Shen Yanhan's throat, which had just tasted spicy food, was stimulated by this, and it immediately felt like it was on fire. Almost as soon as she swallowed it , she was forced to burst into tears.
"Cough cough cough..."
Seeing this, Qin Yuehuai quickly approached her and reached out to pat her back.
After a long while, Shen Yanhan finally regained his composure.
The first moment she recovered, she revealed her true nature. She raised her face and asked Qin Yuehuai angrily: "It's so spicy, but you still drink that big bowl without changing your expression. Are you trying to trick me by pretending like this?" "
Seeing her getting angry from embarrassment, Qin Yuehuai paused and shook his head: "No."
When he retorted, due to the habit of getting along with him for a long time, Shen Yanhan pampered her, and she blurted out: "You have it! You know that I don't know how to drink, but you still didn't remind me that this wine is so strong that it hurts my tongue." It's so spicy that I'm numb." At this moment, the little lady, who was not showing off her attitude of resisting others, had red cheeks, her eyes were moving, and her eyebrows were so vivid that she felt very familiar to Qin Qilang.
He looked at her meaningfully and said, "It can't numb your tongue. You are exaggerating."
He still didn't believe it, so Shen Yanhan gave him an annoyed look.
Qin Yuehuai paused and said, "Show me."
Because he patted her on the back, the two of them were already very close at the moment, and their breaths were floating and exchanging. After Qin Yuehuai's words fell, an ambiguous atmosphere suddenly enveloped the world.
The familiar scent of sandalwood lingered on the tip of his nose. After hearing this, Shen Yanhan turned around and saw Qin Yuehuai's deep eyes were filled with seriousness, staring at her lips seriously, as if he was really curious about her tongue. Whether it's like being injured.
She couldn't understand it for a moment.
While she was thinking, Qin Yuehuai said warmly: "Is it really spicy?"
Shen Yanhan didn't respond. She watched him leaning forward, his tall nose getting closer to her inch by inch, with a hint of alcohol, and the strong alcohol she just drank seemed to be rushing towards her head, making her feel a little guilty. faint.
Qin Yuehuai looked at the little lady's dazed and charming look, and her heartbeat was beating fast. He stared at her lips and slowly moved closer to her. Although she was not drunk and obsessed with him, if they could finally get close, they would reach the same destination through different paths.
But just when he was full of expectations and felt that his dream was about to come true, the voice of an uninvited guest came from outside——
"Master Lang."
Shen Yanhan was like a cat jumping to a high place. Halfway through the jump, he didn't want to be frightened and fell straight down from mid-air.
She was so frightened that her hair stood on end, and she pushed Qin Yuehuai's face away.
Yang Dong stepped in and walked straight forward. When he saw Qin Yuehuai was drinking with the young lady in the clear room, his relatively motionless facial features became active for a rare moment, and he said "What did I see?" Panic expression.
After finally reaching this point, he was disturbed by someone. Qin Yuehuai stared at him with a look that wanted to stab someone.
Qin Yuehuai's mood has always been stable, and he rarely looks like this. Yang Dong quickly raised his finger and pointed at the door, "It's not closed."
He looked at the wine jar on the table with a questioning look in his eyes.
Qin Yuehuai turned a blind eye to his questions, but his face turned dark.
Yang Dong didn't dare to look at Qin Yuehuai like this, how could he say anything else?He looked at Shen Yanhan and called her, "Ms. Shen," with a sense of flattery.
Shen Yanhan hummed, his expression very calm.
When Qin Yuehuai disappeared, Yang Dong also disappeared at the same time. She was naturally worried about Yang Dong. When she saw him afterwards, he looked so heroic and heroic, and now she heard him call Master Qin Yuehuai, she felt it very clearly. How did people unite in Qingshui Village to hide the truth from her?
It would be a lie to say that I am not disappointed.
She always felt that the four of them were family in Qingshui Village.
Shen Yanhan's interest waned, he stood up and said, "I'm going back."
But at this moment, Qin Yuehuai stood up and asked Yang Dong, "But do you have something to talk about?"
Yang Dong immediately said: "A group of cars and people entered through the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion today. Judging from the appearance and clothing of those people, they are all from outside the country, and they look very much like those from Lijiazhai."
Upon hearing "Lijiazhai", Qin Yuehuai had no reaction for the time being, but Shen Yanhan was shocked and stopped in his tracks.
A group of bandits came into the city again. What are they going to do?
As if he heard the question in her mind, Qin Yuehuai asked Yang Dong: "Has their purpose been discovered?"
Yang Dong said: "I said I came to wish Mrs. Xiangguo her birthday."
Qin Yuehuai: "It's just a cover-up."
Shen Yanhan's curiosity became even higher. She looked at Qin Yuehuai who said this, and regardless of whether she had just left or not, she asked urgently: "Then what are they doing here?"
Qin Yuehuai looked at her: "It's time to prepare to pick up people."
Shen Yanhan: "Pick up Li Shen?" Qin Yuehuai once said that Li Shen is now in the Qin Prime Minister's Mansion.
Qin Yuehuai nodded and added: "And Wen Rong."
Wen Rong.
Shen Yanhan clenched her fists involuntarily.
If Wen Rong escapes now, how will her mother's revenge be avenged?
"Is there any way you can stop it?" There was never a moment more than at this moment when she wanted to hear him speak.
"Don't be anxious." Qin Yuehuai said, and then asked Yang Dong: "Has Zhao Tongpan's health improved?"
Zhao Si, the general judge of Lin'an Prefecture, has been ill since last month. It was said to be a common cold, but the illness lasted for more than half a month. Looking at the people from Lijiazhai who came in from Lin'an Prefecture, Qin Yuehuai immediately noticed that Zhao Si's illness came at the wrong time.Not to mention that the cases of Cai Yu, Wen Rong and others have not been solved. Someone must be trying to delay time, or maybe even planning something else.
Sure enough, Yang shook his head: "Still in bed."
Qin Yuehuai ordered: "Go and inform the Duke of Qi about this and ask him to go to Dingyuan Marquis as soon as possible. In addition, check to see if there were any abnormalities in Zhao Si's interpersonal communication, eating and drinking before he fell ill. Then ask Mencius Summarize some people and send one group to the Zhao Mansion, while the rest will guard the government office."
Seeing Qin Yuehuai's calm side again, he was completely different from the gentle and gentle person who always put her first in everything. Shen Yanhan should have thought he was hypocritical, but she had to admit that his current calmness It's like a reassurance.
Hearing his calm and strong voice, seeing how he spoke in an unhurried manner and arranged things in an orderly manner, she was indeed less worried about Wen Rong being rescued.
Qin Yuehuai thought for a moment and then said to Yang Dong: "The Lin'an government office has neglected its duties. Let Mencius Jian take a copy of it in court tomorrow morning." He had to force someone.
Yang Dong nodded and said, "I'll do it right away."
Before leaving, Yang Dong took out two letters from his arms and said, "He's from Yongzhou."
Qin Yuehuai reached out and took it.
Shen Yanhan was looking at the two of them, and she noticed the action of delivering and receiving letters. If she read it correctly, someone also painted a begonia flower in peach pink on one of the envelopes.
She saw this flower, and Qin Yuehuai naturally saw it too.
He raised his eyes and looked at Shen Yanhan. Just as he was about to explain that this was the first time, he saw her pointing at the letter in his hand and asking sincerely, "Are you thinking of a way to get them back to Lin'an Mansion as soon as possible?"
The fact was such a fact, but with the flower in front of him, he vaguely felt that his original intention seemed to be unusual when asked by Shen Yanhan.
Qin Yuehuai paused and said, "Uncle Deyuan is my grandfather's student and watched me be born."
His original intention was to introduce Zhang Jun's importance, but Shen Yanhan drew inferences and nodded: "The two families are family friends, and you have known each other since childhood."
She said "we have known each other since childhood", but her eyes were a little complicated, clearly expressing the meaning of "childhood sweethearts". Qin Yuehuai did not mention the Qin family, but said: "Qi Yan is a distant relative of the Zhang family. , Mrs. Zhang’s natal family.”
Shen Yanhan paused and then continued: "Then this is a letter written to 'cousin'?"
Normally, such a conversation would be nothing, but the word "cousin" was what she had used to call him. For the two of them, the ambiguity contained in these two words was indescribable.
Qin Yuehuai appreciated her words and asked her: "Jiao Jiao cares so much about the letters written by others, why don't you read them with me?"
After that, he opened the letter in front of her, as if he wanted to share it with her openly.
Shen Yanhan suddenly changed his face, "Who cares? You're just being sentimental!"
After that, she walked out without looking back.
Qin Yuehuai looked at her back and laughed softly.
He chased after him: "Slow down, I'll see you off."
The little lady said angrily: "No!"
Lang Jun said good-naturedly: "The road is so dark, you can't see it."
But he only got a response that was like a dog biting Lu Dongbin: "I want you to take care of it!"
After a while, Lang Jun's voice was helpless: "You're going to the wrong place, go here."
The little lady said in a delicate voice: "Did you deliberately lead me the wrong way?"
The sound of the two going back and forth floated in the wind and rain, breaking the silence of the long night.
*
In the morning of the next day, the imperial envoy Meng Changqing insisted on going out to the court and said to the people: "I am here to investigate the crime of dereliction of duty by the government office of Lin'an Prefecture."
After saying this, everyone in the court was shocked.
The top leader of the Lin'an government office is Fu Yin, and Fu Yin is none other than the eldest prince of the current dynasty, Zhao Yuankang.
