He was simply risking his life. Lu Wan looked at the bewildered maid outside the door and quickened her pace to take the food. She thought, if it were her, he would probably eat a little.
Lu Wan pushed open the door.
"Didn't you say you didn't want to eat?"
"Chen Yan, it's me." Shen Yan raised his head and saw Lu Wan, full of joy.
"Lu Wan, why are you here so late?" Chen Yan came forward. "Why don't you even eat? I know this matter is serious, but you can't just not eat. Eat quickly." Lu Wan put the food on the table, preparing to supervise Chen Yan to eat well while helping him think of a solution.
"You know that there have been many floods in the south recently, resulting in countless victims." Lu Wan nodded when she heard this. She had indeed heard a little about it in the whispered discussions of several maids in the mansion, but she did not care much. "The emperor attaches great importance to this matter. He attended the morning court just because of the floods in the south." Lu Wan nodded.
Shen Yan only mentioned it briefly, then sat down and ate obediently. He was probably so hungry that he didn't even feel hungry. He wolfed down the first bite of food immediately. After hearing what Shen Yan said, Lu Wan propped up his chin and helped Shen Yan think of a solution.

Perhaps because he was full and his brain was more flexible, Shen Yan put down his bowl and chopsticks and faced Lu Wan: "I just thought of an idea, Lu Wan, do you want to hear if it is feasible?"
"If possible, I want to change the river course and divert the river water to low-lying areas. This may also work." Shen Yan expressed his thoughts and took a sip of herbal tea.
"Well, this is indeed possible. If you don't give the flood a way out, the flood will take your life. However, this is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution." Lu Wan felt that this method was not perfect.
"Artificial diversion can be considered the best strategy, and diversion can be considered the middle strategy. After diversion, the diverted water will go through the flood diversion channel, and the rest will remain unchanged." Shen Yan nodded, expressing his satisfaction.
"Perhaps there is a better solution, which is to raise and thicken the dike."
"Okay, the existing dikes in the south are too narrow, and the dike lines are curved and changeable. Based on this, no matter how high or thicken they are, it cannot solve the fundamental problem. Let's just make it the last resort." The two smiled at each other and finally came up with a feasible solution.
With Lu Wan's help, things went much more smoothly. Lu Wan suddenly felt that something was still wrong: "Chen Yan, you go to the palace tomorrow and talk to the emperor. I think it is better to relocate some of the people. I am afraid that if it goes on for a long time, more people will die and the people's hearts will be unstable. It's just relocation, not abandonment of the people. I think the emperor should be able to accept it." What Lu Wan said made sense. Chen Yan agreed to her and went to the palace tomorrow to tell the emperor his method.
At this time, Chen Jingxi was hiding outside the door, eavesdropping on their conversation word for word. Lu Wan has been busy discussing countermeasures and specific details with Shen Yan. Neither of them noticed Chen Jingxi who was hiding outside the door at this time!
When Chen Jingxi heard Lu Wan’s countermeasure, he also thought it was a good idea! Thinking that his father was the prime minister, if he used his father's authority to offer advice to the emperor, he would surely be appreciated by the emperor. He could also take the opportunity to suppress Lu Wan, and maybe even make Shen Yan look at him with new eyes.
Thinking of this, Chen Jingxi no longer wanted to eavesdrop, so he turned around and hurried home. Chen Jingxi was in a hurry and didn't see the little fish behind him clearly. The two of them bumped into each other immediately!

Xiaoyu panicked and quickly apologized to Chen Jingxi: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Damn it, I didn't mean to offend Miss Chen!"
The reason why Shen Xiaoyu was so panicked was because although Chen Jingxi was a girl, she relied on her status as the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The bad reputation has been spreading among the servants for a long time!
Chen Jingxi hurried back to the prime minister's residence to meet the emperor to offer advice and suggestions. So that you can get the reward as soon as possible. At this moment, he was bumped into by a small servant. He immediately became angry: "You bastard! Don't you have eyes when you walk?"
Chen Jingxi shouted loudly, alarming Shen Yan and Lu Wan who were discussing how to deal with the follow-up in the inner room! The two walked out of the house and happened to see Chen Jingxi scolding Shen Xiaoyu. At this time, Shen Xiaoyu stood there shivering, his hands shaking constantly. "He is not a piece of shit! He is a servant of my Shen Mansion." The first one to come forward was Shen Yan, who took over Chen Jingxi's scolding!
At this time, Shen Xiaoyu's legs were trembling and she was almost kneeling down to Chen Jingxi. Hearing Shen Yan answering, his hands stopped shaking, and he apologized to Chen Jingxi again: "The servant accidentally bumped into Miss Chen, I hope Miss Chen will let me go."
Chen Jingxi saw Lu Wan and Shen Yan leaving the door, and they were still making trouble for him over a servant. Then he remembered that he still had things to do and snorted coldly. It's considered as not caring.
“Xiaoyu thanks Miss Chen, Master Miss Lu, I will go and get busy first.” Shen Xiaoyu was frightened today. Since becoming a servant of the Shen family, Shen Xiaoyu has been cautious in everything. I never thought that I, who had never been scolded in the Shen Mansion, would be scolded by an outsider today!
After Shen Xiaoyu left, Chen Jingxi also turned around and left. Chen Yan said: "Why did Miss Chen leave just after arriving? Don't you want to come in and sit for a while?" It can be heard that Chen Yan was just being polite at this time.
Chen Jingxi understood what Shen Yan meant, and did not dwell on it too much. She said directly: "I have something to do today, so I'll go back first. I'll visit you another day." Because Chen Jingxi overheard Lu Wan's plan, she wanted to go back to her father as soon as possible to discuss the details, so she didn't plan to stay here for too long and turned around and left.
"Why did Chen Jingxi come at this time? He left without even saying hello?" Lu Wan was a little confused. But I didn’t think much about it.
