When Fang Qingyue woke up from her coma, she only felt dry mouth and tongue.
She was still very weak, and the wound on her side hurt every time she moved, making her unable to get water to drink on her own.
The next moment, warm tea was gently placed on Fang Qingyue's lips. After Fang Qingyue drank the whole cup of tea from the other person's hand, she realized that it was Shen Yuhan.
A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
To Shen Yuhan, she was probably just a concubine. Even if she was injured, she thought Shen Yuhan would just leave a maid to guard her.
"Sir..." Her voice was a little hoarse, "Are you okay?"
He never expected that the first thing Fang Qingyue did after waking up was to care about him. Shen Yuhan's expression suddenly softened.
He put the teacup aside and said gently, "I am fine. You should rest well these days and don't worry about anything else. If you need anything, just tell Chi Feng and he will take care of everything for you."
"Sir, I don't need you to do that for me." Fang Qingyue gently grabbed the corner of Shen Yuhan's clothes and said in a hoarse voice, "I just want to ask, how is the investigation into my father's case going these days?"
"We've uncovered some inside information." Shen Yuhan lowered his eyes and told Fang Qingyue everything Chifeng and the others had found out in the past few days.
He originally didn't want to tell Fang Qingyue this, worried that she would be in danger because of her father's case.
But now it seems that even if he doesn't tell the truth, Fang Qingyue will still be in danger.
In this case, it would be better to tell Fang Qingyue the truth and let her make her own decision.
Hearing this, Fang Qingyue's pupils flickered and she pursed her lips.
After a long time, she stood up and gently kissed Shen Yuhan on the lips.
A kiss as light as a feather fell on Shen Yuhan's lips, stopping him from saying anything.
Shen Yuhan's heart suddenly began beating violently, as if there was a rabbit inside, kicking and struggling.
Fang Qingyue's injury on her waist was so severe that even a slight movement made her frown.
"Are you okay?" Shen Yuhan's voice was hoarse. He put his arm around Fang Qingyue's other side and gently placed her on the bed.
Fang Qingyue shook her head gently and said softly, "I'm fine."
The next morning, the confidant came to report to Shen Yuhan.
"The fluorescent powder went all the way to the villa of the Marquis' Mansion. After that, we ambushed outside the villa. Except for Song Xiaoya, we didn't see anyone else outside the courtyard." Chi Feng knelt on the ground and said.
Although Shen Yuhan discovered the purpose of those people in the secret base in the suburbs that day, he had no definite evidence that the matter was related to Song Xiaoya, and he did not want to force the blame on Song Xiaoya.
Although Song Xiaoya's identity is indeed suspicious.
It is now almost certain that Song Xiaoya is indeed related to this matter.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and when he arrived at the Inspectorate the next day, he first ordered someone to call Shen Qiu Nian over.
When Shen Qiu Nian saw Shen Yuhan, anger surged in his heart, but his expression remained calm: "Uncle, why did you ask me to come here this time?"
"Have you gotten used to staying in the Inspectorate these days?" Shen Yuhan asked.
"Uncle, why don't you just speak frankly?" Chen Qiu Nian hated to flatter others. So what if the person in front of him was the head of the Inspectorate?
"If uncle has nothing important to say, I will continue to investigate the case."
Shen Yuhan knocked lightly on the table before saying, "Song Xiaoya's status is not ordinary. You'd better stay away from her in the future."
The defense map of the capital is of little use to those who are on a major expedition.
The guards in the capital would hardly attack the people from the Great Expedition.
But for the Rongdi people, it was different. Song Xiaoya was so eager to steal the defense map, so she was most likely an enemy spy.
There's no good in getting too close to her.
Hearing this, Shen Qiunian's eyes suddenly showed a bit of coldness, and when he spoke to Shen Yuhan, he was not polite at all: "Uncle, what do you mean by this?"
"Even though Song Xiaoya is of humble status, she is pregnant with my child and will be the mistress of my mansion in the future. Uncle, you'd better clean up your own mess before interfering in other people's affairs."
Even though Fang Xifu betrayed his country and died, his engagement with Fang Qingyue was not cancelled at the beginning.
Shen Yuhan was secretly entangled with Fang Qingyue and didn't take his nephew seriously at all. Why should he consider Shen Yuhan's face?
"What did you say?" Shen Yuhan stood up suddenly, his face looking terrifyingly gloomy, like the foreshadowing of a violent storm.
Chen Qiu Nian stiffened his neck, refusing to utter a single soft word: "Is what my nephew said wrong? Earlier, my nephew was wondering why you, uncle, were so protective of that bitch Fang Qingyue. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid you two have already fooled around in bed together, right?"
He stared at Shen Yuhan intently, anger surging in his chest like thick black water swallowing up his reason.
"You can even appreciate Fang Qingyue's ragtag thing that was ridden by thousands of people. This really opens my eyes!"
Shen Yuhan slammed the table hard, and the paperweight and inkstone bounced up.
However, he seemed not to sense anything, and just walked up to Shen Qiu Nian and kicked him to the ground.
The kick was so powerful that Shen Qiu Nian was kicked out for a distance and hit the doorpost heavily.
"Who do you think you are, shouting at me here?" He was extremely disappointed with Shen Qiu Nian.
He shouldn't have reminded Shen Qiu Nian of this. After all, the relationship between the Marquis' Mansion and the Prince's Mansion was not close. Even if Shen Qiu Nian was really imprisoned for treason, it would not involve him.
But after all, they share the same blood, and he doesn't want to watch Shen Qiu Nian get into trouble.
Unexpectedly, Chen Qiu Nian not only did not repent, but also scolded Fang Fang Qingyue.
Who gave him the courage?
Shen Qiu Nian was lying on the ground, but he still raised his head stubbornly: "Uncle, don't get so angry just because your nephew has touched your sore spot. It's really embarrassing."
Shen Yuhan walked over and looked down at him.
The sunlight outside the door fell on his face, making him look even more handsome.
With his head slightly lowered, he exuded a sense of majesty without even being angry.
"You're trying to poke me in the sore spot? Still drowsy in your sweet dreams, aren't you?" He spoke each word with a chilling tone that could almost freeze one's bones. "Come here, Chen Qiu Nian has been in the Inspectorate for a few days, and not only has he made no achievements, he's also leaked information about several of the Inspectorate's cases. This is a serious dereliction of duty. A fine of twenty sticks, executed immediately!"
What he said was not without purpose.
Some details of several cases handled by Chen Qiu Nian in recent days were somehow known to other people.
After he had reminded Chen Qiu Nian, he planned to give him a warning.
But... since Chen Qiu Nian is so unruly, he must let Chen Qiu Nian suffer so that he knows what to say and what not to say.
"You are abusing your power and bending the law!" Shen Qiu Nian looked up at Shen Yuhan in disbelief.
"Bending the law for personal gain? If I were to casually overlook this dereliction of duty, that would truly be considered bending the law for personal gain."
As he spoke, he waved his hand at the several yamen runners who came over and said, "Take him away!"
