He really couldn't understand why these high-ranking officials from the imperial court would suddenly come to his house to talk about these things.

Perhaps due to excessive tension and restraint, Gongshu Lian did not notice that the three men's eyes kept glancing towards the back hall.

After chatting for a long time, Chen Fan noticed that Gongshu Lian was just sitting to the side with his head down, seemingly not understanding his meaning at all, so he couldn't help but give Hu Guang a wink.

"Cough cough~!"

Hu Guang nodded in understanding, then coughed twice before looking at Gongshu Lian.

"Dr. Gongshu! Look, we've been chatting for so long, we're getting quite thirsty..."

"Oh, it was my oversight. I'll have someone prepare right away! Please wait a moment, gentlemen..."

Upon hearing Hu Guang say he was thirsty, Gongshu Lian realized what was happening, apologized to the three of them, and hurriedly went to the back hall.

After Gongshu Lian left, Chen Fan, Hu Guang, and Yuan Feng all showed knowing smiles.

Just then, a doorman from Gongshu Lian's residence suddenly ran towards the living room.

The doorman ran while shouting, "Master, the Grand Minister of Agriculture is here!!"

"Why did that shameless Cao Sanjue come here too? Does he know Doctor Gongshu?"

Upon hearing the news of Cao Song's arrival, the smiles on the faces of Chen Fan and the other two instantly froze, and they couldn't help but exchange glances.

Yuan Feng's expression immediately turned serious. He looked at the gatekeeper of the Gongshu Mansion and said in a deep voice, "Go and tell Cao Song that your master is not here..."

Just as Yuan Feng finished speaking, Cao Song suddenly walked in with wide eyes.

"You bastard Yuan Zhouyang! What do you mean by this...?"

It turned out that Cao Song hadn't waited patiently outside, but had walked straight in, so he heard every word Yuan Feng said.
