How did she know so much?
Her cool voice came from behind: "Don't you have anything to ask me?"
Chi Yan slowly turned around and saw Shen Tangning standing a few steps away from him, looking at him calmly.
She had already made up her mind that if he asked, she would tell him everything.
But Chi Yan just smiled and put his arm around her shoulder: "Rainy days are perfect for sleeping."
Shen Tangning frowned slightly as she looked at him, and he happened to look down at her as well. After a moment, he moved his lips and said, "I'll listen slowly when you really want to say it."
He had a feeling that this secret was extremely important to her, something that couldn't be easily revealed, and that she wasn't the type to easily entrust her trust to others.
Then give her some more time; he can afford to wait.
Her eyes widened in surprise.

The next day, Shen Tangning woke up to find no one beside her.
As Xueqing combed her hair, she said with a sigh, "Miss is truly a prophet. It rained so hard last night that even the windows were creaking. And the rain still hasn't stopped!"
With that, she snorted loudly, "Let's see if those people still dare to speak ill of the son-in-law!"
Her eyelids trembled slightly, but she didn't respond.
The torrential rain brought disaster, which is nothing to be thankful for, but with prior preparation, the situation is still better than in the previous life.
I wonder if Yunlong Dam will be washed away again in this lifetime.
Chi Yan will probably not have an easy time today either.
——
At the morning court session, everyone was silent as if shivering in fear.
The head of the Imperial Observatory was lying on the ground, his body visibly trembling.
Emperor Chongde was furious and grabbed something to throw at him: "Is this what you promised me, that there would be no rain for the next two months?"
The supervisor, his head bleeding profusely, dared not flinch, his face deathly pale, repeatedly kowtowing: "Your Majesty, spare my life! Your Majesty, spare my life!"
As the saying goes, the weather is unpredictable, and it is impossible to predict the weather accurately every time. However, in His Majesty's eyes, such a serious mistake must be a dereliction of duty, and he will certainly not escape punishment. Now, we can only try to reduce the punishment as much as possible.
Cold sweat trickled down Minister Gong's forehead; his clothes were already soaked, and he dared not look at the expressions of those around him.
But some busybodies, always eager for drama, said: "Minister Gong, didn't you guarantee with your head that there wouldn't be a rainstorm? Why are you silent now?"
The speaker was Shen Ci, who raised his eyebrows slightly, looking like he was watching a good show. Chi Yan gave him an approving look, which made him look away in disgust.
Shen Chang wiped away a cold sweat. He wanted to warn the boy not to meddle, but his son was growing up and gradually stopped obeying him as before.
Noticing His Majesty's deep gaze sweeping over him, Minister Gong staggered forward, his knees buckling as he knelt down. His mind raced, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Your Majesty, although it has rained, such rain is not enough to breach the dikes and bring floods, is it?"
He paused, then said cautiously, "I was too arbitrary before, and I am willing to apologize to Compiler Chi."
It has to be admitted that Chi Yan is a bit eerie; he said it would rain, and it actually did!
Minister Gong did not want to back down to him, but the most important thing right now was to save his head!
Chi Yan's lips curled into a smile with interest: "Leaving aside the apology, yesterday on my way home from work, I was blocked on the street by a group of busybodies. During the incident, someone even attempted to assassinate me in the chaos. I've heard rumors circulating that Minister Gong is harboring resentment..."
His eyes reddened, and he suddenly knelt before the emperor, pleading passionately, "Your Majesty, I beg you to do me justice!"
Minister Gong nearly choked on his breath.
