In the study room of Xiuwen Pavilion, a slender figure was sitting in front of the desk practicing calligraphy. The words he wrote were strong and powerful, completely unlike those written by this thin young man.
A dark figure walked into the study with his head lowered. The young man in front of the case didn't even raise his head and said in a low voice: "Have you found everything?"
"Yes, my subordinates have found out what the master told me. Indeed, as the master guessed, the Lin family secretly gave a large sum of money to bandits near Anji Mountain and let them snatch it away. The master asked someone to report it back to the court. It was said that it was damaged by rain and water. The purpose of the Lin family should be for the Lin family." Seeing that the master was silent, the man in black continued, "In addition, the master asked his subordinates to investigate the relationship between the eldest lady and Dongfang Ye. , except for the eldest lady and Ji who stayed at Dongfang's Qingyuan before they stayed in Ciguang Temple, there should be no other interactions with them. However, it is said that Dongfang Ye also returned to Lianju at that time, and Lianju and Qingyuan were only separated by a wall. As for whether they had met. Face to face, the subordinates will not know."
When Liu Yun was mentioned, the young man who was practicing calligraphy finally put down his pen, stood up, walked to the window, and stood with his hands behind his back, looking very mature.
"Where's Shen Yi? Is there anything going on?" Yu Chen's calm tone didn't sound like a fourteen-year-old boy at all.
"He has recently been pestered by Xi Chuqing, the eldest daughter of the Xi family. He heard that Miss Xi lives in the Shen Mansion and follows her around every day, which makes Shen Yi very annoyed. When the eldest daughter went to the lake yesterday, Shen Yi was also sailing on the boat. "." At this point, the man in black continued to talk about what he had found out yesterday, "Princess Liuli and Miss Jiang have returned to the capital. Although they are not shackled, they are being monitored by people who look like criminals. Master Shen Someone has been sent to report this matter to the emperor at high speed, but the emperor has been ill for the past two days and has not paid attention to these trivial matters."
Yuchen curled his lips: "Huh, if they stay for two more days, I will definitely give them memories they will never forget."
Seeing that his master was silent, the man in black also lowered his head and waited for his master's instructions. This was always the time when his master was deep in thought and could not be disturbed.
"How is the investigation going on Dongfang Ye?" He spent a lot of money investigating this mysterious young prince, but he has never been able to find out, and he should not be able to find out this time either.
"The young Marquis lives in seclusion and rarely shows up. Even the servants of the Dongfang Hou Mansion rarely see the young Marquis. My subordinates once inquired about the residence of the young Marquis. The people there are very strict, and they can't get it out no matter how much they insinuate. Well, this Dongfang Ye is not simple." The man in black replied with reason.
Interest flashed in Yuchen's eyes. Of course he knew that this person was not simple. Compared to the brooding Shen Yi, Dongfang Ye seemed to be more in line with Yuchen's taste. He just wanted to be his brother-in-law, but he didn't have any skills.
"By the way, Dongfang Ye went to Zhuyan Pavilion last night and even entered the eldest lady's boudoir. He stayed there for...several hours and didn't leave until dawn." The man in black hesitated and told the story.
"What?" Yu Chen raised his head suddenly and glared at the man in black, "How long did you let him enter my eldest sister's room? Or was it midnight?"
"It's what you said, Master... Keep an eye out for Mr. Shen and the Second Madam. Don't worry about the others." The man in black wanted to bury his head in his chest. The Master was so angry that he couldn't help but step back. step.
"What is he doing in the room?" Yu Chen suppressed his anger and turned around so that no one could see his emotions.
The man in black thought about it and chose the most subtle statement: "The eldest lady was unconscious last night, so he probably stayed with her for a while."
Hearing what he said, Yuchen's anger eased a little, and he snorted coldly, thinking that he had some conscience and knew to check on his eldest sister's condition.
No, he thought about it, it was too rude for him to sneak in like this. Is Mu Mansion a place where he can come and go as he pleases? He has sent so many secret guards to protect Zhuyan Pavilion. He really thinks he is the elder.
Is my sister a casual woman?
The man in black couldn't see the flickering expression on Yuchen's face, but he had been following his master for so long, so he could naturally guess what was on his mind. He thought for a moment and then said: "Dongfang Ye seems to be interested in the eldest lady.
thought."
"The Dongfang family... is much more complicated than the Shen family." If possible, Yuchen hopes that Liuyun can marry into an ordinary family. He doesn't want Liuyun to become that kind of scheming woman one day. His eldest sister should
She is the happiest woman in the world. She should not live in conspiracies all her life.
"Old Madam Dongfang has been worrying about the young Marquis' marriage. This time Princess Liuli and Jiang Qianning are the candidates for his main wife." Unfortunately, these two women were sent back to the capital. As for the candidates for his main wife,
, the old lady must choose someone else.
Yu Chen rubbed his forehead. How could Liu Yun, a businesswoman, fall in the eyes of Mrs. Hou Men? Even if she could marry her, her future life would definitely be difficult.
"Actually, Master, don't worry too much. The eldest lady doesn't want to marry Shen Yi, and she may not want to marry Dongfang Ye." The man in black silently hid the fact that he had investigated that Liu Yun might also have a good impression of Dongfang Ye, and first tried to reassure their family.
The master is wonderful.
"In short, send someone to protect her secretly. Lin has ulterior motives, so you must be careful." Now, he can only start by protecting Liu Yun. As for her thoughts, he doesn't want to interfere too much. If she is in the future
If he really wanted to marry Dongfang Ye, he, as his younger brother, would not just sit idly by.
"In addition, my subordinates found out that the eldest lady was very close to Luo Shao and asked him to buy Malian on her behalf. The managers of several pharmacies we have found this matter very strange and asked my subordinates to tell the master.
"The man in black thought of another thing.
Luo Shao? Ma Lian? Yuchen frowned deeply. Did Liu Yun already know about the relationship between Luo Shao and the Jiang family? He thought for a moment and suddenly realized, could it be that the last time the Liu family happened, Liu Yun and Luo Shao and the Jiang family joined forces?
of?
He suddenly smiled: "It seems that I really underestimated her."
"Then Ma Lian..." The man in black hesitated.
"You go tell our people and ask them to buy some malian from other places to give to my eldest sister. Since she wants it, it must be useful." Yuchen narrowed his eyes. During these days, he felt more and more that convective clouds were impossible to detect.
It seems that he really didn't understand her well enough in the past. From now on, he will have to get closer to Liu Yun to see what kind of medicine she is selling in her gourd.
In the past, he always stayed in Xiuwen Pavilion and never went anywhere, but now he often ran to Zhuyan Pavilion. Perhaps even he didn't notice it, and the smile on his lips was much more than before.
"Yes, I understand." The man in black nodded.
Maybe Liuyun didn't know that her brother was silently guarding her out of sight, just as he had sworn in front of Ji's grave, that when his mother was gone, he would protect her in her stead for the rest of his life.
