The next day, Shen Yuyao found a very quiet teahouse in Shangheji and sat there for nearly an hour.
She asked the waiter to change the tea on the table three times.
The tea cannot be cold.
Bang...
Xu Yunxuan slipped into the private room where Shen Yuyao was sitting and gently closed the door. "Finally, I'm out of here."
Shen Yuyao smiled slightly when she saw her come in, and poured some tea from the teapot to Xu Yunxuan. She picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Xu Yunxuan, saying, "Have a sip of tea first and then talk slowly. There's no rush."
"Well, I already know what happened in the Duke's Mansion yesterday."
Shen Yuyao nodded.
Xu Yunxuan now leads an organization like the East Factory, so being well-informed is the most basic requirement.
Moreover, although Lu Lian and Xiao Qi's identities were exposed and they could only be dealt with by Shen Yuyao, she also knew clearly that these two people would definitely quickly report the situation in the Duke's Mansion to Xu Yunxuan.
Shen Yuyao raised her eyes and looked at Xu Yunxuan.
Today she was wearing a lake blue blouse and a white gauze skirt, looking like a charming and lovely lady from the Beijing circle.
Shen Yuyao couldn't help but sigh inwardly. With such a beautiful face and graceful figure, if Xu Yunxuan wasn't an expert in disguise, she would have attracted the attention of the Black Dragon Guards long ago.
After Xu Yunxuan sat down, she placed the round fan in her hand on the table, took the cup of tea handed to her by Shen Yuyao, and took a sip gently, "Really good tea!"
The strength and temperature of the tea are just right.
"This is the West Lake Spring Tribute Tea that just came on the market this year. It is indeed a good tea!" Shen Yuyao also picked up a cup of tea, put it under her nose, and took a deep sniff.
She sighed softly, "When I smell the fragrance of this tea, I realize how quickly time flies."
Xu Yunxuan's face was filled with confusion, but she suddenly burst out laughing, "Haha, Yuyao, I'm not talking about tea, I'm talking about people!"
Shen Yuyao was a little confused, "People?"
Xu Yunxuan said, "Yes, in our world, women who like to play tricks are usually called tea girls."
"And the words and actions of those tea girls are what we call tea talk in our world."
Seeing that Shen Yuyao still looked confused, Xu Yunxuan explained patiently.
"So when you said it was really good tea, were you cursing someone? Or was it cursing a woman?"
Shen Yuyao asked, seeming to understand.
"Yes! The person I'm scolding is none other than the murderer at the Duke's Mansion yesterday, Lu!"
"She's really too bad!" Xu Yunxuan became more and more excited as she spoke. "The Lu family's usual method of harming people is to secretly poison them. They use a slow-acting poison that takes a long time to gradually erode and harm the victim."
"I couldn't understand why she suddenly changed her tactics yesterday and resorted to poison."
"While I was deep in thought, I received news from my subordinates. The young eunuch that Lu sent to deliver cakes to the Duke's Mansion yesterday was secretly captured by our people on his way back to the palace and is currently being held in the dungeon."
"I think you should personally interrogate this young eunuch. Perhaps you can get some information from him. That's why I sent out an emergency contact signal early this morning..."
Shen Yuyao listened carefully to Xu Yunxuan's statement and finally understood the whole story.
It turned out that as soon as Xiao Qi discovered the problem with the cakes yesterday, he sent an emergency signal to his companions outside the palace. He quietly apprehended the young eunuch who was still on his way back to the palace and brought him back to Xu Yunxuan's residence.
Shen Yuyao pondered for a moment, "I originally returned to Kyoto quietly..."
Xu Yunxuan said: "It's okay, as long as I disguise you a little, I believe that even if Xia Yu comes, he won't be able to recognize you."
Shen Yuyao looked out the window. It was almost noon. "Let's go and ask around. Maybe we can get some information."
After Xu Yunxuan and Shen Yuyao left the teahouse, they went directly to Xu Yunxuan's residence.
When Shen Yuyao got off the carriage, she discovered that Xu Yunxuan's current residence was actually the "Lu Garden" villa that the prince had bought for her many years ago when they were working in the Black Dragon Guards.
"Does this place look familiar?" Xu Yunxuan looked at Shen Yuyao's surprised expression and couldn't help feeling a little proud.
"Yunxuan, why did you choose this place as your residence?" When Shen Yuyao originally lived in Luyuan, she particularly liked the quiet and elegant atmosphere of this villa, the pavilions, towers, gardens and ponds inside. She even asked the craftsmen in Yanjing to imitate some of them.
"Since coming to this world, living in Luyuan, these are the happiest days of my life." Xu Yunxuan smiled. "As soon as I returned to the capital, I thought about making enough money to buy this Luyuan. I'll give you a surprise when you come back."
Shen Yuyao knew that this villa had an excellent location and a magnificent interior design. For Xu Yunxuan, who had just returned to Kyoto that day, this mansion must have been an unattainable dream.
Unexpectedly, in just less than seven years, Xu Yunxuan had become the owner of "Lu Garden".
Sure enough, you still have to have dreams. What if they come true by accident?
"Yunxuan, you are so thoughtful."
This was the second time Shen Yuyao had said this in less than two days.
She could understand why Xu Yunxuan came to this extremely strange world and why she always felt lonely and uneasy from the bottom of her heart.
It was not easy for Xu Yunxuan, a weak woman, to not only gain a foothold in Kyoto within seven years, but also to develop to where she is today.
Shen Yuyao could imagine with her toes how much difficulty and setbacks Xu Yunxuan had experienced.
There was more pity in her eyes when she looked at Xu Yunxuan.
"Yunxuan, you have worked hard over the years." Shen Yuyao choked.
"Actually, it's not particularly hard. After all, our world is much more advanced than yours." Xu Yunxuan raised her head and looked at the sun in the sky.
The sunlight was so bright that she quickly raised her hands and gently covered her eyes.
"The most difficult time was actually when I first came into the book. I was completely confused and lost. I was like a fly, running around everywhere."
Shen Yuyao also recalled the experience of Xu Yunxuan suddenly turning from a villain into a little fan girl.
I couldn't help but smile.
"Everything has its limits. Now it's time for you to enjoy the joy of success," Shen Yuyao patted Xu Yunxuan's shoulder and joked.
"The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades, we still need to work hard!"
"What?"
"Hahaha...you wouldn't understand."
"Wouldn't you understand if I explained it to you?"
"No explanation! You should go work in the dungeons!"
“…”
Three days later.
News came from the Duke's Mansion that Madam Shen had died of a serious illness.
Both the emperor and the crown prince expressed their grief, and the crown princess, Mrs. Lu, even went to the Duke's Mansion to pay her respects in person.
Seven days later, the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion rushed back to the mansion from the border with his family to attend the funeral.
Ten days later, the second son of the Duke's Mansion also returned to Kyoto with his family to attend Madam Shen's funeral.
Fifteen days later, Shen Yuyao and the third and fourth young masters also returned to Kyoto.
