Suddenly, Chu Ling felt a little more uneasy in her heart, and she cramped herself to touch the bun on her head, a little panicked.

With a soft sound, a figure in a black cloak slowly walked in.

He also slowed his pace, for fear of disturbing the people in front of him.

Chu Ling didn't dare to look back, she saw the blurred figure standing straight behind her through the copper vanity mirror, a few steps away from her.

Chu Ling couldn't help but laugh a little.

After all these years, these habits of his still haven't changed.

"Ah Ling." Qin Xiao's voice trembled and shouted.

Chu Ling's body trembled, and he slowly turned to look at him.

Goodbye is dusty, and temples are like frost.

Rao is no longer the high-spirited young man he was in the court.

His sideburns are gray hairs that can't be hidden.

Under the warm candle flame, Chu Ling suddenly realized that he had missed a lot.

"Is that all?" The slender young man pinched the stack of ledgers in his hand and stared at the middle-aged man in front of him with a smile.

"Back to the young master, the little ones can only find these at present." The man nodded at Shen Yi and bowed, his tone flattering.

If there were people from the Shen family present, they would definitely be surprised.

Because the housekeeper in the Shen Mansion had such a respectful attitude towards an unfavored concubine.

Shen Yi put the stack of ledgers in his hand and checked it, his eyes were not revealed, "If someone asks back, do you know how to say it?"

The butler didn't dare to hesitate and responded: "Please rest assured, young master, the little one will never say nonsense."

Shen Yishi took the stack of account books into his arms, revealing the piece of jade he was wearing around his neck.

"Miss." Shu'er looked at Shen Huai, who was lying on the bed and didn't want to get up, helplessly, and called out in a long voice.

Shen Huai snorted lightly and covered his head with the quilt.

"Miss!" Shu'er raised her voice and shouted again.

Shen Huai was still reluctant to get up.

Shu'er looked at the sun hanging high outside the window, helpless.

In the end, it was the sudden visit of Qiao Bai and Gong Shushu that made Shen Huai get up from the couch.

"Acacia!" As soon as Gong Shushu saw Shen Huai, he pounced excitedly, and then exchanged a yawn from Shen Huai.

Gong Shushu immediately snorted and laughed, "Ah Huai, you won't just wake up, will you?"

Shen Huai covered his lips sleepily and nodded.

Naturally, Shen Huai's admission attracted Qiao Bai's ridicule.

Shen Huai glanced at Qiao Bai and pulled Gong Shushu to sit down beside him.

"Why do you want to come here to see me today?"

Gong Shushu first rummaged through himself, but he didn't find the relevant letters.

"Qiao Bai, are those pieces of letter paper you received this morning on you?" Gong Shushu turned his head and shouted at Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai took out the pile of letters from his arms a little helplessly, walked over, and handed them to Shen Huai.

And then......

Shen Huai saw Qiao Bai touch Gong Shushu's head, and said softly, "I told you a long time ago, your things are all here." ”

Shen Huai silently twisted his head back and set his eyes on the pile of letters.

What was going on with these two people, what had happened during her absence.

Shu'er, who came in with a meal, happened to see this scene, and her eyes widened.

When Shen Huai took the porridge brought by Shu'er, he found that her expression was still in a trance.

Shen Huai drank porridge while browsing the information recorded on the paper.

What was written on this letter was Qin Xiao's private meeting with Chu Ling last night, and it took a long time to return.

As for why he locked himself in his room for a day after he returned, there was no mention of it on the paper.

Shen Huai tore it apart and threw it into a charcoal basin on the side to burn it. He commanded Qiao Bai, "Keep an eye on Qin Yu in the past few days." ”

Qiao Bai nodded without thinking.
