Concubine Agent: My lord, stop pretending

Chapter 184 Revenge

The closer to the main room, the stronger the smell of medicine, Ye Jing frowned slightly, and gently pulled Su Yan's sleeve.

Su Yan turned his head to look at him, with doubts in his eyes.

"My lady, it smells so bad." Ye Jing covered her nose as she spoke, and her steps slowed down, as if she didn't really want to go in, "I don't want to be here anymore."

Su Yan turned his gaze, and coaxed cooperatingly: "Be good, let's leave later, okay? I'll cook something delicious for you when I go back."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true." Su Yan nodded seriously, and took Ye Jing's hand, "Let's go."

Shen Yi led the two of them into the main room, and saw a figure lying on the couch behind the curtain in the inner room, his face could not be seen clearly, but the oncoming sickness made him slightly uncomfortable.

Shen Yi walked into the inner room and said to the man on the couch: "Cousin, the prince and concubine are here to see you."

The man nodded, raised his head to look outside the curtain, nodded his head slightly, and said in a low but weak voice: "I've been bedridden all year round, so I can't get up to salute. Please forgive me."

"Young Master Shen, you don't need to be too polite." Ye Jing's tone was slow, and she still showed a little impatience in the process of speaking.

"My lord and my concubine, please sit down." Shen Zhibi slightly raised his hand and looked at Shen Yi, "The humble house is shabby, and the room is full of medicine smell. It's really a shame that the two laborers are submissive."

Shen Yi understood, nodded, walked out of the room, and personally served tea to the two: "My lord and concubine, please drink tea."

Ye Jing and Su Yan sat down, and Su Yan said with a smile: "The Eldest Young Master is inconvenient, so the prince and I should come to visit. Excuse me, what's wrong with the Eldest Young Master?"

Shen Zhibi sighed slightly, Shen Yi frowned and said: "Back to the princess, my cousin has been weak since birth. He has seen countless famous doctors, and they all said that it is a congenital deficiency that is difficult to eradicate. He must rest quietly and not be tired. Rest more on weekdays. Shang Ke, once you worry and think too much, you won't even be able to get out of bed."

Hearing this, Su Yu frowned, suppressed his smile, looked at the person behind the curtain, and said: "Since this is the case, it is probably wrong for me and the prince to come here, disturbing the eldest son's rest."

"It doesn't matter. I feel pretty good today, so feel free to say what the princess has to say." Shen Zhibi smiled slightly, with a soft and hoarse voice, "The third brother has already told me about the case of Gong Jin. I don't know how the investigation went?"

Ye Jing glanced at Su Yan, Su Yan shook his head, and said: "There is no progress, time has passed, I am afraid it will be difficult to find anything."

Shen Zhibi sighed softly, and said sadly: "Second brother went there for no apparent reason. I thought this re-examination would yield results, but I didn't expect..." After a pause, he continued, "If my Shen family can help this If you need anything, tell your third brother, and he will try his best to cooperate."

"En." Su Yan nodded, seeing Shen Zhibi's sadness in his eyes, "I want to ask if you are four brothers?"

Shen Zhibi was slightly taken aback, nodded and said: "Exactly, we are indeed four brothers. Although the Shen family has been an imperial merchant for generations, it is also a scholarly family, so our parents named us pen, ink, paper and inkstone respectively."

"Where is the Fourth Young Master?" Su Yan asked.

Shen Zhibi paused, sighed and said, "Yan'er unfortunately died when he was nine years old." After saying that, he blamed himself, "It's my elder brother who didn't take good care of him."

Su Yan didn't answer, although she couldn't see Shen Zhibi's expression, but she could feel the sadness and emotion.Suddenly thinking of those people who came back for revenge in the TV series, he couldn't help but check the situation of the Shen family.

The fourth son was killed for some reason, but he did not die. He vowed to come back for revenge, and secretly planned the sinking of the Gongjin ship.If the accident the year before last was revenge, why was there no movement in the past two years?Could it be that he only has enmity with the second son?His death was caused by the second son?
Seeing Su Yan standing there in a daze, Ye Jing couldn't help tugging at her sleeve.

Su Yu hurriedly came back to her senses, blinked her eyes, what was she thinking about?But guessing boldly is always right.

Su Yu looked at the curtain in front of him and asked, "Then what happened to the Shen family from the year before last to now?"

Shen Zhibi didn't understand what Su Yan meant, thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Since then, everything in the Shen family has been safe, nothing has happened, and the business has actually increased."

increased?Could it be that he really wanted revenge on Shen Zhimo?
Shen Zhibi seemed to sense the surprise on Su Yan's face, and said with a smile: "These are all thanks to the third brother. He has always been smart and managed the business properly."

Seeing this, Su Yan agreed with a smile, and said: "Sir Shen is very talented, and he is prudent in handling things. He is indeed a rare talent."

Shen Zhibi said: "I would like to thank the emperor for his kindness. I hope the imperial court will continue to trust our Shen family." As he spoke, he bowed his hands towards the window and respected the emperor's kindness.

"The quality and integrity of the Shen family are excellent, so the imperial court naturally trusts them." Su Yan smiled lightly, and had some speculations about this eldest son in his heart.

"What the princess said is that we will definitely achieve the best quality and live up to the trust of the court." Shen Zhibi nodded solemnly, and suddenly coughed, one after another, as if to cough out his lungs.

"Cousin, you can't talk anymore, lie down quickly!" Shen Yi eagerly poured out a pill for Shen Zhibi to take, and then helped him to lie down.

Shen Zhibi took the antitussive medicine, gasped for breath, and sighed: "Your body is so unbearable, the prince and concubine laughed."

"Where, it's us taking the liberty to bother you, I'm really sorry." Su Yan got up and said, "Eldest son, rest well, and the prince and I will bid farewell."

"Forgive me for not entertaining you well." Shen Zhibi looked at Shen Yi and said gently, "Yi'er, send off the prince and concubine."

"Yes." Shen suggested that Shen Zhibi closed his eyes, then walked out, and said respectfully to Ye Jing and the others, "My lord, my concubine please."

After leaving Lanqingju, the smell of medicine in the air dissipated a lot in an instant, accompanied by the coolness of autumn, it seemed that people's minds were a little bit clearer.

Su Yu said seemingly unintentionally: "The eldest son is gentle and elegant, but now he is plagued by serious illnesses. It is really a pity."

Shen Yi walked beside the two of them, and said with a serious expression: "Uncle and aunt left early, and my cousin supported the entire Shen family alone, raised three brothers, and me, and carried all the burden on his shoulders. The husband said that as long as he If you can let go of everything and stop thinking too much, you can hope to live."

Su Yan paused, turned his head to look at Shen Yi, and asked in surprise: "Is the eldest son's illness so serious?"

Shen Yi is young, but looks mature and prudent.He looked at Su Yan and sighed: "At first, my cousin's illness was not so serious, but since the fourth son's accident, it has become serious. And the year before last, the second son was also killed. The cousin was deeply hit, bedridden and sick all the time. It's been more than a year. The princess doesn't know, but my cousin's condition today is already considered good."
