Chapter 93 Shen Xueyan is ill

Although there are not many flowers left in the side hall, there are still some begonias struggling to survive.

The tea Shen Xuehan drank was still the same kind that she told Yun Zhuan she liked last time, Junshan Yinzhen.

Lu'e was serving by the side.

Not long after, Yun Zhuan came out happily with a smile on his face:

"Sister Xuehan!"

Shen Xuehan came back to her senses, a smile appeared on her face: "My sweet sister."

"How come you have time to come to my house today?" Yun Yu'an sat down obediently. "Does today's tea suit your taste?"

Shen Xuehan stroked the outer wall of the teacup and hesitated before speaking: "Jiaojiao, I want to tell you something."

Judging from Shen Xuehan's expression, it must be no trivial matter.

"Sister, go ahead, Lu'e, bring two more plates of milk cakes." Yun Yu'an licked his lips. He hadn't eaten cakes for a long time.

Shen Xuehan gritted her teeth and spoke: "Recently, I don't know why Grand Tutor She seems to have some opinions about our family. I wonder if Jiaojiao knows what the reason is?"

Master She?

Is this the person I met in Su Mansion last time?

But why did they target the Shen family?

Obviously, the second branch of the Shen family had long been separated from the first branch of the Shen family.

"I wonder if you attended the banquet at the Su Mansion last time?" Yun Ju'an skimmed off the foam on his teacup. "My fourth brother is back, and I'm afraid he will be given a position soon. His Majesty also knows that my fourth brother is an adopted son, so I'm afraid he will be cultivated as a close person."

Soon, two plates of milk cakes were placed on the table, along with crystal clear green rice dumplings and some rice dumplings.

"Miss, these are the freshly made green rice dumplings and rice dumplings from the kitchen. Would you please have some?" Lu'e always remembered what her young lady liked to eat.

Green rice dumplings with a slightly bitter taste and sweet and salty rice dumplings.

I was in the palace during the Dragon Boat Festival and ate food, but the food didn't taste the same as usual.

Without any instructions from her mistress, Lu'e went downstairs to prepare dinner.

Shen Xuehan just spoke up: "My brother is at home and has contracted a serious disease for unknown reasons. I have sought out many famous doctors, but no one can cure him."

“So, I didn’t attend the banquet.”

Yun Ju'an paused while peeling the rice dumplings and raised his eyebrows: "Your brother is sick? When did this happen? There was no sound at all."

There is no one in the house at this time.

Shen Xuehan took a deep breath and lowered her voice:

"Because we still don't know who the murderer is, my father doesn't allow this matter to be leaked to anyone in the mansion. He is also afraid that someone is planning to target the Shen family."

Yun Zhuan listened, took a bite of the zongzi, and thought for a while:

"What has Uncle Shen been doing recently?"

Shen Xuehan shook her head: "My father usually discusses state affairs with my brother and rarely tells me..."

"Sister, think about it again." Yun Ju'an took another bite, giving Shen Xuehan time to think.

Shen Xueyan has contracted a strange disease and has become extremely thin. I'm afraid it's a tactic to overcome her weakness?

Bai Ye is well-versed in this area, but Yun Zhuan is unwilling. Mr. Bai has traveled thousands of miles, and if he makes a mistake and attracts the attention of someone with ulterior motives, it will be her fault.

By the time of dinner, there would probably be more people passing by the flower hall. To be on the safe side, Yun Zhuan stood up and said, "Sister, there will be too many people here, why don't we go to my study?"

Shen Xuehan nodded: "Okay."

The two of them got up and went to the study. Yun Zhuan sent Duhuo to invite Bai Ye to the study. All decisions should be made by Mr. Bai himself.

The study is very formal. When Yun Ju'an is here on weekdays, Duhuo will tidy it up in the way Yun Ju'an is used to. But once Yun Ju'an leaves the study, everything hanging on the surface will be the way Yun Ju'an wants it to appear.

Whether it is the withered asparagus fern.

It’s still beautiful hairpin-flowered small calligraphy.

Or some miscellaneous storybooks and picture books.

All the things at a deeper level were put away by Duhuo.

Therefore, the study room that Shen Xuehan saw was a clean and elegant study room for a girl.

"I remembered that in two days, my father will accompany Prince Ye to Jiangzhou again. Prince Ye can return to Beijing after getting the important things, but my father has to wait until he finishes investigating the matters arranged by the emperor before he can leave." Shen Xuehan thought for a long time before deducing it from the details about her and her father.

Yun Juan dismissed the people serving in the study. She had thought about this matter before, but she didn't expect it to be so serious.

I'm afraid it will involve the interests of many parties.

That's why they took action against the eldest son of the Shen family unexpectedly, hoping to delay Uncle Shen's trip to the south of the Yangtze River.

"Uncle Shen, do you want to delay your trip to Jiangnan?" Yun Shuan asked with a frown, and wrote the word "delay" on the paper.

Shen Xuehan pursed her lips and said, "Yes, my eldest brother is the only son in my family after all. He wants to wait until my brother is better before leaving..."

"Don't delay. Prince Ye returned to the capital to get the account book for me, and Uncle Shen went to Jiangnan to investigate things for His Majesty." Yun Zhuan explained word by word, "If Uncle Shen really delayed going to Jiangnan because of Brother Shen, I'm afraid someone would pretend to have everything ready and wait for Uncle Shen. It would be even more difficult to investigate things then."

"Besides, if he delays going to Jiangnan, and is caught by a newcomer and used to make trouble, I'm afraid Your Majesty will have to punish him for disobeying the imperial edict."

Bai Ye listened outside the door for a long time, and only after Yun Zhuan expressed his views did he become aware of something vague.

“Thump, thump, thump—”

Three times.

A man sitting on a four-wheeled vehicle, his hair has begun to turn white, but his appearance is still the same as before.

Yun Zhuan, however, felt that Bai Ye's spirit and energy were not as high as before.

And his hair began to turn white from the roots.

"This is my teacher, his surname is Bai." Yun Zhuan ordered two servants to move Bai Ye and the four-wheeled cart into the study.

Yun Zhuan was somewhat reproachful. Although the sun was about to set outside, he was still a little impatient: "Sir, you have been waiting outside for quite some time, right? You should have reminded me earlier."

The servant bowed and left, and there were only three people left in the study room.

"Your Highness, don't mind. I just want to listen to what you said just now." Bai Ye felt a little lonely. After all, Yun Ju'an didn't really regard him as a teacher.

Just treat him with respect as a guest.

Yun Zhuan was a little embarrassed: "It's just my humble opinion, but Mr. Bai made fun of it."

Shen Xuehan stood up and bowed to Bai Ye: "Shen Xuehan has met Mr. Bai."

"I've heard of your brother, Shen Xueyan. He's a very outstanding young man." Bai Ye nodded slightly. "I met him at the gathering. He was still young at that time, and we even learned from each other."

Shen Xuehan lowered her eyes. Mr. Bai was indeed humble. It was probably a one-sided teaching, but he even said that it was a mutual learning experience.
