As soon as Shen Qiunian saw Jian Xianzhi, half of the arrogance in his heart dissipated immediately.
Although he was arrogant, he was still a little afraid of Jian Xianzhi.
His expression changed again and again, and finally he could only grit his teeth and said angrily: "General Jian, why did you interfere in this matter?"
"This is just a personal dispute between me and Doctor Fang. Are you going to take her side?"
Jian Xianzhi remained unmoved, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "Doctor Fang is the savior of the people of the capital. Her status is so noble, how can you offend her so casually?"
"If you dare to be rude again, don't blame me for disregarding your Shen family's reputation!"
Shen Qiunian was shocked by Jian Xianzhi's pressure and felt a surge of fear in his heart.
Although he was angry, he did not dare to confront Jian Xianzhi head-on. He could only glare at Fang Qingyue hatefully, and finally left unwillingly.
His steps were a little messy when he left. It was obvious that he was very upset, but there was nothing he could do.
Fang Qingyue watched Chen Qiu Nian leave, and the breath of relief in her heart finally came.
She looked at Jian Xianzhi gratefully, her tone carrying a hint of sincerity: "General Jian, thank you for your help. If you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid I would..."
Jian Xianzhi smiled slightly, a gentle light flashing in his eyes: "Doctor Fang, there is no need to be so polite. You and I have a deep friendship. How can I just stand by and watch?"
"Chen Qiu Nian is just bullying others by taking advantage of his power. If something similar happens again, just come find me."
After hearing this, Fang Qingyue was filled with gratitude. She nodded and said softly, "Thank you for your kindness, General Jian. Qingyue will definitely remember it in her heart."
Jian Xianzhi shook his head, his eyes fixed on her with a hint of warmth: "Doctor Fang, you don't have to be polite. There's no need to thank me between you and me."
"Chen Qiu Nian has always been reckless. If this matter were to become known today, it would not be good for him."
Fang Qingyue smiled and nodded slightly. Just as she was about to say something else, she suddenly felt a burning gaze falling on her from not far away.
She looked up and saw Shen Yuhan walking out slowly from the palace gate. He had an upright posture and a calm face, but his eyes were fixed on her and Jian Xianzhi.
When Shen Yuhan saw the smile on Fang Qingyue's face when she was talking to Jian Xianzhi, she felt inexplicably jealous.
He was always calm and composed, but at this moment he felt an unprecedented unhappiness.
He quickened his pace and walked up to the two of them. He glanced at Jian Xianzhi coldly, his tone calm but with a hint of barely perceptible distance: "General Jian."
Jian Xianzhi was slightly startled when he saw Shen Yuhan suddenly appear, but he soon smiled and said, "Sir."
Shen Yuhan simply nodded slightly, then turned to Fang Qingyue and said gently, "Qingyue, I've finished my business. Why haven't you returned to the clinic yet?"
Fang Qingyue noticed the displeasure in Shen Yuhan's tone and was slightly surprised, but she didn't think much about it. She just explained: "Just now on the way back, I ran into Mr. Shen and almost had some unpleasantness. Fortunately, General Jian showed up in time and helped me."
When Shen Yuhan heard this, his eyes turned cold and a sense of guilt instantly rose in his heart.
He originally thought that letting Fang Qingyue go back first was for her safety, but he didn't expect that it would put her in danger.
He glanced at Jian Xianzhi with a complicated expression, and then said in a deep voice: "In that case, Qingyue, let's go back first. It's late at night, and the affairs of the clinic should be put to rest."
Fang Qingyue nodded slightly, then said goodbye to Jian Xianzhi: "General Jian, thank you very much today. If there is a chance in the future, I will thank you in person again."
Jian Xianzhi chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "Doctor Fang, don't worry. Be careful on the road." He watched the two of them leave with a deep look in his eyes, but said nothing more.
Shen Yuhan took Fang Qingyue towards the carriage waiting outside the palace gate, with a complicated look on his face.
He asked Fang Qingyue to get on the carriage, and then he got in himself. A subtle atmosphere instantly filled the carriage.
The carriage moved forward slowly, and the interior was silent.
Shen Yuhan sat aside, his eyes inadvertently falling on Fang Qingyue. Seeing that she looked calm, a feeling of bitterness welled up in his heart.
He was unwilling to admit that his attitude towards Jian Xianzhi was due to jealousy, but the situation just now forced him to face his inner feelings.
"Qingyue, have you always had a good relationship with General Jian?" Shen Yuhan asked casually, with a hint of temptation in his tone.
Fang Qingyue was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "General Jian is an upright person. I have worked with him several times and we get along well."
When Shen Yuhan heard this, he felt a little relieved, but then he felt a little uneasy.
He whispered, “Just now you mentioned that Shen Qiu Nian attacked you, what exactly is going on?”
Fang Qingyue briefly recounted what had just happened, trying to downplay Shen Qiunian's bad behavior, but Shen Yuhan frowned even deeper after hearing it.
He didn't want Fang Qingyue to notice his uneasiness, so he continued calmly, "Qingyue, you don't have to worry too much about what happened tonight."
"Chen Qiunian has always acted arbitrarily in the capital, relying on his family background. But this time he dared to be rude to you. You must not let him off lightly."
Fang Qingyue heard the coldness in Shen Yuhan's words, lowered her head slightly, and responded softly: "Young Master, there is no need to be angry about this matter, Qingyue is fine. Young Master Shen is just angry, and when he calms down, he will naturally not dwell on this matter anymore."
Shen Yuhan shook his head, his tone unquestionable: "No matter what, I will teach him a lesson so that he won't be so presumptuous again."
Seeing his firm attitude, Fang Qingyue said no more and just nodded silently.
Seeing that she said no more, Shen Yuhan felt even more guilty. He blamed himself for letting Fang Qingyue get into danger in the palace, not to mention that this danger was caused by him.
The carriage gradually stopped at the gate of Prince Shen's Mansion. Shen Yuhan helped Fang Qingyue get off the carriage, his eyes still filled with complicated emotions.
"Qingyue, you go back and rest first. I still have some things to deal with. I will come to see you later." Shen Yuhan said softly, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
Fang Qingyue nodded slightly and said with understanding: "Young Master is very busy with official duties, Qingyue understands. You should also pay attention to rest and don't overwork yourself."
Shen Yuhan forced a smile and then watched Fang Qingyue leave.
His eyes were deep, and all kinds of emotions were surging in his heart.
At this moment, his personal guard suddenly emerged from the shadows, walked quickly to his side, and reported in a low voice: "Sir, I have important information to report to you."
Shen Yuhan nodded slightly, his eyes instantly regaining their composure. He said in a deep voice, "Let's talk in the study."
The guard followed Shen Yuhan into the mansion, and the two soon arrived at the study.
Shen Yuhan waved his hand to let the other servants leave. The guard closed the door, took out a neatly folded file from his arms, and handed it to Shen Yuhan respectfully.
"Sir, I have conducted a detailed investigation into Song Xiaoya's background as instructed by you."
The guard reported in a low voice, his tone revealing a hint of caution, "This subordinate has discovered that Song Xiaoya is not an ordinary official's daughter. Her identity is related to the Great Rong."
When Shen Yuhan heard this, his eyes instantly became sharp and his brows furrowed slightly.
"Da Rong?"
