Chapter 339 Telling the Truth

Imperial city.

Su Hanchu has already chosen a restaurant and is preparing to renovate it in preparation for the opening of a brothel. Of course, opening a brothel in the imperial city is not an easy task. After all, this is the imperial city. Even if there are countless talented and famous prostitutes gathered in the brothel, if he wants to open a prosperous business, he must have some unique skills to show people here something they have never seen before.

And I have a great advantage, that is, those modern famous songs and dances. The people trained in the northwest are all proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. As long as I write a few more songs and dances that are not available here, the business will naturally pick up quickly.

Su Hanchu was writing while Ping'er was grinding beside him. Both of them were wearing men's clothes.

Jiang Like knocked on the door.

"Sir, I have something to report."

Su Hanchu stopped writing the lyrics.

"Come in."

Jiang Like came in, closed the door, and bowed.

"Sir, we've found out that Shen Luoxue lives at the Qian family home, while her child and Mother Qiu live in a house in the suburbs. Our people have learned that Shen Luoxue returns to the house every three days to see the child. Sometimes she brings the child a piece of clothing, and sometimes she brings some toys."

After hearing this, Su Hanchu put down his brush, leaned back in his chair, and stroked his head with his hand.

"Heh, it seems that the only thing Shen Luoxue has a conscience about is that she didn't forget to take her child with her when she left the northwest. Now that she has found Gao Zhi, she still hasn't given up on her child."

Ping'er spoke from the side.

"Sir, if she really cared about her child, she wouldn't do such a suicidal thing with the child. She didn't even think about what the child would do in the future if he lost his mother."

Su Hanchu sneered after hearing this.

"She probably thinks she will succeed. Jiang Like, you keep watching. I'll go see her when she returns to the house. Also, we have someone suitable to send to the Qian family in the Imperial City."

Jiang Like bowed after hearing this.

"Yes, when Madam Li entered the Imperial City, we sent a few people with her. Fuzhi Qingdai followed Madam Li all the way, and Yuzhu and Yulian followed the convoy. Lord Qian has never seen them."

Su Hanchu spoke thoughtfully.

"I remember that Yuzhu and Yulian were twins, and they had a tacit understanding that ordinary people didn't have."

Jiang Like bowed after hearing this.

"Yes."

Su Hanchu spoke slowly.

"Have one of these two sisters find a way to encounter Qian Zexi, and the other one should be ready to cooperate with him at any time and enter the Qian family to take his place at the critical moment."

At this time, Shen Chengrui was only a sixth-rank official in the Imperial College, and he was promoted by his father in the past two months. Therefore, he did not have an official residence granted by the emperor. He had to buy a house and changed its name to Chen House.

At this time, Shen Chengrui looked at Shen Luoyun who had come all the way.

"Why did the Northwest County Lady come to the Imperial City?"

Shen Luoyun bowed to Shen Chengrui with respect.

"Luo Yun meets elder brother."

Looking at Shen Luoyun's salute which was the same as before, Shen Chengrui spoke slowly.

"Time has passed, and I haven't seen the Northwest County Master for many years. I never thought that today, I can still hear the Northwest County Master call me elder brother."

Shen Luoyun listened to Shen Chengrui's somewhat unfriendly tone, but there was no ripple in her heart. Her mother was now the legitimate Mrs. Shen, and it would be strange if her brother would be kind to her.

"In Luo Yun's heart, no matter when or where, and no matter what Luo Yun's identity is, Brother is always Brother, and Luo Yun will always respect Brother in his heart. I know that Brother has already met the eldest sister and may not like Luo Yun very much, but Luo Yun also believes that Brother, you are a person who can distinguish right from wrong and will never do anything that does not distinguish right from wrong."

Shen Chengrui looked at Shen Luoyun, who was completely different from the cowardly and weak one in the past. It seemed that he had been away from the northwest for many years, and some things had really changed. After a moment, he slowly spoke.

"Sit down and have some tea. You've been traveling a long way, so eat some cakes first. The kitchen is already cooking."

Shen Luoyun leaned forward again after hearing this.

"Luo Yun thanks you, brother."

Shen Chengrui looked at her.

"I don't think the Northwest County Lady would come all the way to the Imperial City to see me. I wonder if the Northwest County Lady has something important to tell me."

Shen Luoyun spoke helplessly after hearing this.

"Brother, we are both our father's children, so why should we be so estranged? I am just a woman, and my mother is unable to bear children. There is no point in competing with you for anything. I really hope that you can still call me Luo Yun like before. As for why I rushed to the Imperial City in such a hurry, brother? You are so smart, you should have guessed it, right?"

Shen Chengrui listened and looked at her.

"I'm a little surprised that my father actually agreed to let you take care of his eldest sister's affairs."

Shen Luoyun listened and spoke with a helpless look.

"Brother, you don't have to mind. Father is now the governor of Sanzhou and is very busy with official duties. Although my mother is the legitimate Madam Shen, she is a bit cowardly. Therefore, as the younger sister, I have to come to take care of my elder sister's matter."

After hearing this, Shen Chengrui picked up the teacup, with a flash of anger in his eyes. Who could have thought that one day, the concubine's daughter in the family would actually suppress the legitimate son and daughter.

"That's really hard for you. What do you want to do? Are you going to kill your own eldest sister?"

Shen Luoyun was not at all surprised that Shen Chengrui was protecting Shen Luoxue, and spoke calmly.

"Today, I came here, brother, not to ask for anything from you. Of course, you think too highly of Luo Yun for killing my eldest sister. You have been alone in the Imperial City for the past few years, and I think it must have been difficult for you. Regarding your mother's matter, I am here to bring a message from my father. Please ask all irrelevant people to leave."

Seeing Shen Luoyun's serious expression, Shen Chengrui finally raised his hand and asked the servant beside him to withdraw.

Shen Luoyun also winked at Qingmei and asked her to guard the door.

It wasn't until the door of the hall was slowly closed that Shen Luoyun spoke solemnly.

"Brother, I don't know what my eldest sister said to you, but I swear to heaven, and on my life and my mother's life, that what I'm about to say is absolutely true. During the war, your mother colluded with the Northern Wing to burn the northwest's grain. This is a serious crime of treason, and it took great pains to keep it secret. Brother, don't let my eldest sister's words lead you astray."

Shen Chengrui only knew that his father had said in the letter that his mother had violated the court laws, but he never imagined that it would be such a serious crime.

“Shen Luoyun, my mother would never do such a thing.”
