Chapter 201 The Shen Family Falls
The woman looked even more beautiful and handsome than the man, and she didn't look like she was from Nanzhao.
Although she was beautiful, her extraordinary demeanor made Fanyin's breathing quicken.
He actually wanted such a woman to be a mortal. It was truly a sin.
Just as he was about to approach the woman and make some intimacy with her, he discovered that the woman had been grabbed by the waist by the maid next to her and taken directly to the opposite boat.
There was also a tall and handsome man standing in front of the boat. He was not as humble as the men from Nanzhao. Instead, he had a tall and slender figure and was very imposing.
Whose son is this?
Fanxing suddenly felt a little listless and depressed. It turned out that women nowadays have changed their tastes?
Do you like this kind of man?
I immediately gave up the idea of going up to say hello. Wouldn't it be just making people dislike me for no reason?
Yun Zhuan boarded Shen Xueyan's boat and smiled slightly:
"Mr. Shen, long time no see!"
Shen Xueyan looked at the master and servant and saw that they both had similar temperaments. She put away her fan and put it behind her back.
"It's been a long time since we last met. Duhuo is indeed very similar to you. As expected, the master and servant become more and more alike as they spend more time together."
Yun Zhuan didn't say anything, just said: "That's natural. Duhuo is my confidant. After being with me for a long time, he can be independent in the future and doesn't have to be confined to my small world."
As she spoke, she walked into the boat:
"Have Mr. Bai and Mr. Qin been settled?"
"Su Nan settled her there. She came to Yingdu earlier and arranged everything she needed." Shen Xueyan followed him in. "I just heard the sound of a piano over there. I was wondering who was playing the piano. It turned out to be an old friend listening to the piano."
Yun Zhuan lazily leaned on the soft cushion: "What are you talking about? What else can the first thing I do when I come to Yingdu be if not to have fun? I'm so tired after walking all the way that I don't have the heart to care about anything else!"
Shen Xueyan waved the fan and immediately prepared some tea:
"What are you talking about? If Mr. Bai knew, he would be really angry."
Yun Ju'an paused. Indeed, according to Bai Ye's thoughts, he was probably overthinking it. After thinking for a long time, he felt that Shen Xueyan was right!
Duhuo interrupted, "It's been a tough journey, Miss has worked hard, Mr. Shen, please don't say sad words to Miss anymore!"
Shen Xueyan placed the tea in front of Yun Zhuan, her eyes and eyebrows were as warm as a clear spring:
"It's my fault. Forget it. You haven't reached the age of marriage yet, so there's no need to remind you every day. People should at least relax a little at times. It's my fault. This tea is my apology to His Highness!"
Yun Zhuan finally let go of the burden in her heart. The words Shen Xueyan said just now really pierced into her heart easily. She was really uncomfortable. After all, Shen Xueyan was Bai Ye's person, and it would not be wrong to make her more awakened!
"Since Master Shen has said so, if I continue to act pretentiously, wouldn't that be a sign of gaining the upper hand?" Yun Ju'an took the tea and took a sip. "How is your father doing recently? I haven't heard any news about Uncle Shen in the capital, but has he had any problems in the capital?"
Originally, because of his favor for Shen Xuehan, he looked at the second branch of the Shen family. Now asking about it is also a courtesy and does not seem redundant.
Shen Xueyan put down the teacup and rubbed the lid with her index finger:
"My father... and my sister are doing well lately, they just moved away from the capital."
After the last incident with Grand Tutor She, the Shen family already seemed exhausted.
After handling the affairs of the capital in this way, he also submitted his resignation. At least the emperor was easy to talk to and did not make things difficult for Shen's father.
"It is naturally difficult to investigate if you have moved out of Shangjing earlier. Your Highness should put these extra manpower into the greater cause and don't let Mr. Bai down!" Shen Xueyan was a little lonely. In the past, the Shen family was considered a family of upright people in Shangjing. Unexpectedly, today, they have to resign to protect themselves.
Yun Zhuan did not ask any more questions and drank tea to cover up the awkward atmosphere between the two of them:
"That's enough. The health of my family is better than anything else. Sister Xuehan is old enough, right?"
Shen Xueyan felt a little resentful when she heard this. Her sister has always been like a heroine in the martial arts world. She would never look down on people from weak families. Even though the Shen family has fallen, she is still the legitimate daughter of the Shen family. No matter how low her status is, she is still neither high nor low!
"Indeed, my sister's marriage has become a concern for my father." Shen Xueyan hesitated for a while, and then said, "My father wanted to bring my sister to us, but the matter of Nanzhao is not over yet. How can I let them be in such a dangerous vortex?"
That's indeed the case. The current situation is still unclear. He has one foot in danger and cannot see any future. What about the elderly Shen Huai and the young Shen Xuehan who has no idea of the world outside?
Shen Xuehan is a young lady raised in a noble family. The fighting and killing in Nanzhao might make her so uncomfortable that she can't eat and work. Shen Xueyan simply doesn't want them to come here to suffer.
In comparison, it would be better to stay in Yuan Kingdom, where there is a stable house, and just wait for Shen Xueyan to retire and return home to live in seclusion.
From then on, the Shen family finally came to an end and withdrew from the political stage.
However, this process took too long and Shen Xueyan had no control over it.
Yun Zhuan was silent for a while. It was just as Shen Xueyan said. One more person meant more risk. Those assassins would not care about the lives of innocent people at all. Once they gave the order, they would kill directly!
By then, even if you cry, it won’t be able to come back!
"My aunt seems to be quiet recently!" Yun Ju'an put down the teacup in his hand and said lightly, "I originally wanted to meet her or talk to her, but now it seems that it is not that simple!"
Shen Xueyan shook her head: "At this stage, I'm afraid Nan Wu and Bei Chu are having a quarrel. This is not a good time to intervene. What if they get angry? What should I do?"
Yun Zhuan leaned against the desk:
"Let them vent their anger, I don't really want to do it anymore, even though I'm just one step away..."
Seeing that Shen Xueyan's mood was getting worse, Yun Zhuan quickly changed the topic:
"I'm just kidding. When the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet comes, I will sneak in and kill her by surprise. Then Nanzhao will directly replace the queen with a female monarch, and I will ascend the throne. Then I will change the country's name, and then quarrel with Northern Chu, unify the military forces, and then make Northern Chu pay the price. During my reign, I will also govern the country well..."
Seeing Shen Xueyan's expression slowly relieved, she felt relieved.
No way, if Bai Ye left her one day, wouldn't Shen Xueyan be the first to take charge of the situation, watching her day and night to see if she was working hard to govern herself?
If you slack off in the slightest, he will report you to Mr. Bai.
As a queen, she seems to be forced to work!
