Chapter 41 Exciting! My sister-in-law is actually in the tyrant's harem?

Xue Youran frowned, and his heroic and delicate face showed a rare cold expression, "Zi Su, don't talk nonsense! General Shen is far away at the border, it is impossible for him to appear in the palace. You must be dazzled and saw it wrong just now."

Zi Su rarely saw her master angry, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is right, it was my fault!"

Xue Youran glanced at the food box in Zi Su's hand, and his tone softened a lot, "Let's go, these dishes will not taste good if they get cold."

"Yes."

The master and servant came to the Biyan Palace, and Hong Guo immediately reported to Shen Chaoyan, "My lady, Mr. Xue is here!"

Shen Chaoyan was preparing to have dinner, and when he heard this, he immediately put down his chopsticks, "You are just in time, please invite him over!"

Soon, Hong Guo brought the person over.

Xue Youran looked at the steaming dishes on the table and winked at Shen Chaoyan, "It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early!"

"Sister Xue, please sit down. I'm worried that no one will eat with me!" Shen Chaoyan pulled out the stool next to her, turned her head and ordered, "Green melon, bring another set of bowls and chopsticks."

"Yes."

"Sister Shen, at the last dinner, I saw that you liked the lotus fish soup and flower-folded goose cake very much. The kitchen happened to have made them, so I brought them over for you to try."

"I was thinking about this! Sister Xue really understands me!" Shen Chaoyan picked up a piece of flower-folded goose cake from the jade plate and took a bite. The crispy dough was wrapped with tender and plump goose meat. The fresh and rich salty flavor spread in her mouth. She took another sip of the steaming fish soup, and the deliciousness doubled. "It's so delicious!"

"I knew you love to eat. Come on, eat more." Seeing Shen Chaoyan eating so happily, Xue Youran's appetite was also opened, and she followed suit and ate a small bowl of rice.

However, Shen Chaoyan could feel that during the meal, Xue Youran wanted to speak several times but hesitated.

Although she tried her best to hide it, it could still be seen that she was worried.

[Tianshu: What's wrong with Sister Xue?]

Tianshu: [Xue Youran met your second brother and others on the way to Feiyan Palace.]

Shen Chaoyan: [So, she misses her family too?]

Tianshu: [No, Xue Youran has a crush on your eldest brother. She almost mistook Shen Linfeng for Shen Yushu just now. Judging from her appearance, she must be suffering from lovesickness.]

Xue Youran likes her eldest brother?

Shen Chaoyan was surprised to hear the news: [Why didn't I see this part when I read the comics before?]

The Book of Heaven: [In the original plot of the comics, your eldest brother died at the border, and then the third prince launched a coup. After the tyrant died, Xue Youran set herself on fire in her Guiyun Palace.]

Shen Chaoyan seemed to have some impression.

When she was reading the comic book, she saw the part about setting fire, and praised Xue Youran for being a daughter of a general. After learning that the tyrant was shot to death, she committed suicide without hesitation. It turned out that

the object of Xue Youran's suicide was not the tyrant, but her eldest brother?

[What about my eldest brother? What is his attitude towards Xue Youran?]

After searching the Book of Heaven, four words were displayed on the page: [Two-way crush.]

My sister-in-law is actually in the tyrant's harem?

How exciting!

Shen Chaoyan looked at the loneliness hidden in Xue Youran's eyes again, and a bold idea came to her mind.

Since the tyrant is inhumane, there is no need to keep a good girl in the palace to waste her time.

She can see that the tyrant has no interest in the women in the harem.

Otherwise, this man would not keep Concubine Hui and Princess Mingyang to hide his tracks.

Maybe she can use the power of the Heavenly Book to reach an agreement with the tyrant and let him let Xue Youran leave the palace.

However, it is unprecedented for a concubine to leave the palace and marry someone else. She needs to plan carefully and take a long-term view.

Right now, the most important thing is to take good care of the future sister-in-law for her eldest brother.

Shen Chaoyan thought about it and served a bowl of fish soup to Xue Youran, "Sister-in-law, no, Sister Xue, I really like the dishes and snacks made in your kitchen. If you feel bored in the future, come and have dinner with me! Look at you, you are thinner than the last time I saw you. Eat more, I want to make you plump and white!"

Girls should not be too thin. When they get close to their husbands in the future, they will hug a handful of bones and feel uncomfortable.

Xue Youran looked at the bright smile on Shen Chaoyan's face, and the depression in her heart also dissipated a lot, "Then I will become a pig?"

Shen Chaoyan raised her eyebrows and joked with a smile, "How could that be? Where in the world is there such a beautiful pig?"

"Okay, you girl actually made fun of me, let me see how I will deal with you!"

"Sister Xue, I was wrong!"

The two laughed and made a fuss, and it was not until very late that Xue Youran got up to leave.

However, Shen Chaoyan grabbed her hand and said, "Sister Xue, the night is long, and it's so boring to be alone in an empty room. You stay tonight and we can sleep together. I just compiled a few storybooks. Can you take a look at them for me and give me some advice?"

Xue Youran was surprised, "You can also write storybooks?"

"I write them to kill time. Come on, I'll take you to see them!"

Xue Youran and Shen Chaoyan returned to the bedroom. She blushed after reading only two pages of the storybook, "Sister Shen, what kind of storybook is this? This is simply..."

She was too embarrassed to say the words "unbearable to look at".

Shen Chaoyan looked at her rosy face, and immediately took the notebook from her hand and replaced it with another one, "You got the wrong one, this is the serious notebook, look at this one!"

Xue Youran, "..." This was the first time she heard that there were serious and non-serious notebooks in her life.

The two of them kept making noises until very late, and Xue Youran did give Shen Chaoyan many pertinent suggestions.

Shen Chaoyan knew that Sikong Yan was busy these two days and would not summon her to sleep with him, so she stayed up all night with Xue Youran without any scribbles. It was not until dawn that the two threw away the notebooks they had been revising all night and fell asleep on the bed.

At this moment, in the Golden Palace.

Zhang Shoujiao knelt on the ground, banged his head on the ground, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Your Majesty, I am innocent! I have worked hard for the court for so many years, and my son had to borrow money to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone last month. Lord Shen's accusation that I am corrupt and committing adultery is a false accusation! I beg Your Majesty to help me and clear my name! Otherwise, I will die in the Golden Palace to prove my innocence!"

After leaving the palace yesterday, Shen Qingyuan took people to Zhang Shoujiao's villa late at night.

At that time, Zhang Shoujiao, an old man, was bathing naked with a dancer in the backyard pool. The scene was really eye-catching.

Shen Qingyuan kindly asked Zhang Shoujiao to put on his clothes before arresting him. He burst into tears and promised to admit his crime in the court today.

Unexpectedly, he would bite back and even die to prove his loyalty.

The ministers present did not know the inside story, and Zhang Shoujiao often pretended to be poor. Seeing his tears, everyone could not help but whisper about it.

"Lord Zhang is a man of integrity and has always had the character of a scholar. How could he do such an immoral thing?"

"Lord Zhang often helps the homeless beggars in the north of the city. Last year, he even pawned Madam Zhang's only silver jewelry to pay for a beggar's medical treatment. I believe others are corrupt, but there is no way he could do that!"

"Lord Zhang has picked up so many abandoned babies in the past few years and brought them back to his house to raise them. He even had to eat coarse food himself to send those abandoned babies to school! He is so upright and honest. Who can compare to him?"

Dai Lumao is Dai Bixiu's father. It was he who raised the money for Dai Bixiu's cheating in the imperial examinations.

He was afraid that Zhang Shoujiao's affair would be exposed and would implicate himself, so he also spoke out to support Zhang Shoujiao, "You gentlemen are right! Although Minister Shen is fair and selfless, he was too hasty in investigating the case this time! We know what kind of character Lord Zhang is. If he really accepted bribes, I will eat shit on the spot!"
