The two of them had already broken up with each other, and when Shen Yan came to visit, it was naturally impossible to reminisce with her.
Shen Yan sat back slowly, "I'm going to take my mother out of the capital."
Shen Yu was surprised in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.
Shen Yan continued: "Don't think that I'm thinking of any conspiracy, I just want to survive."
She said sarcastically: "Master Shi is flying through the sky. The higher you fly, the faster you fall. If you do this, sooner or later everyone in the Shen family will be caught up. What else can I do if I don't run?"
"The Shen family?" Shen Yu asked, "Besides me, is there anyone else in the Shen family?"
Shen Yan said: "Whether you admit it or not, my mother is the wife my father is marrying, and I am the legitimate daughter."
"Then you go down to hell to see if he recognizes dad."
These words were harsh, and Shen Yan stood up angrily, "Don't go too far."
Shen Yu sneered, "You came to me today, could it be that you came to say goodbye, or were you just asking for trouble?"
"I want to sell Shen's house." Shen Yan said.
Shen Yu's eyes narrowed.
"You must already know why I came to you. You are reluctant to let Shen House fall into the hands of others, and you can afford this price."
Shen Yu did not answer the question, but asked, "Have you gone to visit dad's grave?"
She saw the Ruoxiachun pot in front of the grave and guessed it was Shen Yan.
Shen Yan's eyes moved and she looked away, "You won't even bother me when I go to visit my grave, Lord Shi."
"I want the Shen Mansion, please give me a price." Shen Yu said.
Shen Yan didn't expect her to be so happy, so she said, "Thirty thousand taels, this price is just a drop in the bucket to you."
"The cow hair is not given randomly."
Shen Yan was anxious, "If we sell it on the market, Shen's house will sell it for ten thousand taels."
Shen Yu pressed her elbows on the armrests and leaned forward, "You also said that the market sells 10,000 taels of silver. Don't forget that I have a share of Shen's house. I won't give you 20,000 taels or even one tael of silver. If you dare to sell it to Others, you can give it a try, I can do anything."
Shen Yan felt that her aura was overwhelming, and she gritted her teeth and remained silent for a long time, her fingernails digging into her palms.
"Tomorrow." She gritted her teeth and said, "Bring money tomorrow and hand over the money in one hand and the house deed in the other."
"I will send someone to your door tomorrow. You'd better not play any tricks." Shen Yu said.
Now that Shen Yu is an official in the court, if she is exposed, both she and her mother will be implicated. Now she can only run as far as she can.
Shen Yan snorted and left in a hurry. She tripped over the threshold when she went out. After she stood firm, she raised her eyes and saw Prince Beilin standing in the courtyard.
Immortals are like jade, I'm afraid this is the scene in front of me.
Hearing the sound, Xie Tingzhou turned his head and looked indifferently. His eyes did not stop at Shen Yan, but fell on Shen Yu who was behind her and became softer.
He asked warmly: "Are you done talking?"
"Yeah." Shen Yu walked towards Xie Tingzhou, "What's wrong?"
"Waiting for you to eat." Xie Tingzhou took her hand.
Shen Yan's fingertips were trembling slightly, and her eyes almost piercing Shen Yu when she looked at Shen Yu's back.
Why?
How could she, Shen Yu, be so virtuous and capable?
Why do her father, brother, Jiang Lianzhi, and the Crown Prince Beilin in front of her all like and care for her?
She tried, tried to step Shen Yu into the bottom, but she appeared in front of her in another more aggressive posture.
She couldn't fight, this was the answer she got after a hard time.
Shen Yan almost ran away. She staggered to the door, but suddenly stopped.
Shen Yan held the door frame and turned around, "Your Highness."
Xie Tingzhou looked sideways but did not respond.
The smile on Shen Yan's face was malicious, "I'm afraid there's something that Your Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know yet. My sister's first crush was Mr. Jiang from the Household Department. She told me that Mr. Jiang's jade trees are beautiful in the wind. Enthusiastic."
Shen Yu wanted to tear her mouth open, but as soon as she took a step forward, Xie Tingzhou held her in his arms.
"Then what should we do?" Xie Tingzhou raised his eyelids.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he said leisurely: "She fascinated me so much. Not to mention that she was just in love, even if she was married, I would still snatch her away."
Shen Yan was stunned and stood blankly at the door, "You..."
Xie Tingzhou hugged Shen Yu and turned around calmly, "See you off."
On the way back to Qingpuju, Xie Tingzhou walked faster and faster, and finally let go of Shen Yu and strode forward.
Shen Yu followed closely behind him, wondering what happened to him. When she was almost at the door of Qingpu Residence, she couldn't help but ask.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"What's wrong?" Xie Tingzhou turned around suddenly.
Shen Yu didn't react quickly enough and almost hit him.
Xie Tingzhou narrowed his eyes, "Are you newly in love?"
"No, no." Shen Yu quickly denied.
She thought she didn't care what he said just now, but she didn't expect that there was still this problem waiting for her.
She should have known that whenever Jiang Lianzhi was mentioned, his reaction would be greater than anything else, and Shen Yu would begin to suspect that the person he really liked was actually Jiang Lianzhi, and the reason why he was with her was because he didn't want Jiang Lianzhi to marry.
Xie Tingzhou pressed forward, "Is he like a tree in the wind?"
Shen Yu shook her head, "No, you are the most talented and beautiful."
Xie Tingzhou snorted coldly, "When did it happen?"
"What?"
"When did you tell Shen Yan that you were attracted to Jiang Lianzhi?"
"I forgot." Shen Yu quickly changed the subject, "I never said that."
In fact, she had forgotten it a long time ago. In her previous life, it had been a few years since she married Jiang Lianzhi. Who could still remember it so clearly? Anyway, it would be best not to admit it at this moment.
Xie Tingzhou knew what was going on as soon as he looked at her eyes. He was still angry, pinched her chin, and whispered: "Say it or not? I'll kiss you here if I don't say it."
Shen Yu glanced westward for a few times. There were maids and boys sweeping the courtyard nearby. She was not so thick-skinned, but she believed that Xie Tingzhou could really do it in a fit of anger.
"I said, I really forgot, it seems, I seemed to have said Yushu Linfeng, but I definitely didn't say that I was devoted to him."
She glanced at Xi Zhou and saw that no one was paying attention. She stood on tiptoes and whispered to Xie Tingzhou, "I am devoted to you now."
Xie Tingzhou's hair was instantly smoothed by these words. He looked down at her and said, "Stay back and face him. Stay away from him."
Shen Yu said matter-of-factly: "I am far away from him, I am thousands of miles away from him."
At noon, Xie Tingzhou asked his eldest son to send a message to Uncle Zhong to move all Shen Yu's things from Lumingxuan.
After lunch, Shen Yu went back to see that she had almost moved everything, but she didn't dare to touch the things in the study.
When Shen Yu and Xie Tingzhou entered Lu Mingxuan's study, they heard that Li Jifeng had come to the door.
The maid left the study with her front legs, and Li Jifeng stepped in with her back legs.
"I'm here to give you a tip." Li Jifeng glanced around, "Where's the tea?"
"What's the matter?" Xie Tingzhou asked the maid to serve tea.
Li Jifeng glanced at Shen Yu, undecided whether to speak or not.
"Tell me." Xie Tingzhou said, "There is no need to hide anything from her."
Li Jifeng nodded, "I just came out of the palace and met someone in front of Chengtian Gate. Who do you think it is?"
"Since it's an urgent matter, don't keep it secret." Xie Tingzhou said calmly.
"Boring." Li Jifeng complained, and then said: "It's Marquis Xuanping."
Shen Yu said: "It's not unusual for Marquis Xuanping to enter the palace."
Li Jifeng said: "It's not strange, but the person he brings with him is strange. Are you looking for an old man?"
Xie Tingzhou's eyes were sharp.
Li Jifeng said quickly: "Don't get me wrong, I took a look at a portrait in the study. Although my memory is not very good, I remember the wrinkles on his face very clearly. Marquis Xuanping went to the Ministry of Punishment, and there were people around him. Follow that old man with the mole on his face, what do you think he is doing at the Criminal Department?"
