Xue Qihong obeyed and went. Shen Junzhuo looked out the window and saw that the sky was getting dark. He changed his clothes and waited for the sky to get completely dark before coming out of Lanyue Tower.
It was effortless for Shen Junzhuo to get from Lanyue Tower to Yulan Courtyard. He arrived at the door of Yulan Courtyard in less than half a stick of incense. He knocked on the door and the little maid inside poked her head out. When she saw it was him, she was frightened.
Without even saying anything, he threw the door open and ran back into the house. Fortunately, he didn't shout that the bad guy was coming.
Shen Junzhuo chuckled, opened the door and walked in. After walking a few steps, he saw Shuya coming out with two maids. When she saw that it was him, she looked a little panicked. The maid helped her to give him
After saluting, Shu Ya smiled and said:
"Why is Uncle Jiu free to come to Yulan Courtyard today?"
Shen Junzhuo didn't want to beat around the bush and said straightforwardly:
"Something happened in Yongzhou. It's already a big mess. The news will reach the capital in a few days. I'm afraid Li Governor... and his family will be punished..."
Shu Ya felt that she might have heard wrong, so she asked again:
"What happened? Who is to be punished?"
Shen Junzhuo looked at her, knowing that she could not tolerate being frightened at this time, but the matter was there and could not be concealed, so he said again:
"Yongzhou, Governor Li may be punished!"
Shu Ya felt like stars were rising in front of her eyes, and she was in a trance for a moment. Fortunately, Chuntao held her up and prevented her from falling. She took a breath, stepped forward, grabbed Shen Junzhuo's sleeves, and knelt down, saying:
"Please Uncle Jiu, please save my father! And Shu Yao, Shu Yao left for Yongzhou yesterday!"
What!? Shen Junzhuo was horrified. If he went to Yongzhou at this time, wouldn't he be encountering rioters? Shen Junzhuo turned around and left the Yulan Courtyard without saying a word.
Abdominal pain suddenly struck, Shu Ya couldn't stand upright on her knees and fell to the ground. Looking at Shen Junzhuo's leaving figure, the worry in her heart was infinitely magnified. Chuntao hurried forward to help her up, only to hear her say:
"Go and ask for Po Wen, I'm afraid I'm going to give birth..."
Chuntao responded and asked the maids who were at a loss next to her to quickly go and invite someone. When she lowered her head, she saw that Shu Ya's body was already wet.

Sitting in the carriage again and experiencing such a long journey again, Shu Yao felt that everything seemed like a lifetime ago. She occasionally opened the curtain and took a look outside, and the scene outside was completely different from when she came. At that time, she was approaching the capital, and it was already covered in ice and snow.
The situation was that the outside was covered with snow and covered with snow, but now it looked like the sky was filled with loess and smoke was flying.
She and her sister discussed and discussed again and again. They couldn't stay in the Duke's Mansion anymore and were waiting for her uncle Li Cunyi to come to pick her up. Not knowing how long it would take, she simply asked the escort agency to escort her back to Yongzhou. The escort agency did not give them any trouble.
I heard that they were the daughters of the governor of Yongzhou. Lian Liandao had been cared for by the governor of Li in the past. This escort was free of charge. They were not willing to comply. After all, they gave money according to the market price and fixed a date. They only secretly gave it to Mrs. Yu.
After saying this, it was considered as resigning from the Duke's Mansion.
Shu Yao originally thought that Mrs. Yu would have a difficult time, but who knew that when Mrs. Yu met her this time, she changed her usual friendly and kind demeanor. After hearing her farewell, she didn't say anything, and just calmly arranged for her to take care of her.
Tools for the road, don't rush on the road, take a good rest when you encounter a post station.
She thought to herself who said Mrs. Yu was not concerned with worldly affairs. She was clearly like a mirror in her heart. She couldn't hide the affairs between her and Shen Yu from Mrs. Yu, and the affairs between her and Shen Junzhuo probably also fell into her eyes.
