Chapter 16: Reaching Cooperation
This clear soup is almost as good as not eating it.
Shen Wan respects Shen Jiong's opinion, but she doesn't wait to show support, she has been thinking of a way, and wants Shen Ji to give up on her own initiative.
She intended to match Shen Ji and Wei Shuyan, so after the meal, she naturally withdrew from the stage, leaving some space for the two young people.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier, Concubine Shen is your sister." The two walked on the edge of the pond, and Wei Shuyan asked.
Shen Ji: "Don't you know now?" ”
Wei Shuyan took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and said, "The monks don't speak." You fake monk. ”
Shen Wei looked at the person who gritted his teeth, his body subconsciously leaned back, and said weakly: "I, I am not a monk in the first place. ”
After saying that, he also touched his bun.
Shen Wei continued: "And you never asked me!" ”
"Ask, may I ask Shen Gongzi, what is the right thing to ask?" Do you want her to accurately ask if Shen Wan is your sister and if Wang Chen is your brother-in-law?
"By the way, you ran to King Chen's mansion in the middle of the night, do you really suspect King Chen?" Shen Wei didn't want to go around in circles on this matter, he wanted to divert the topic.
"Are you going to denounce me to King Chen?" Wei Shuyan took over the conversation very smoothly, since Shen Ji and King Chen have a close relationship, of course her real plan cannot be revealed to Shen Jiong.
Shen Ji smiled: "I live in the palace now, if you have anything to help, just let me know." ”
"Why do you doubt King Chen?" Wei Shuyan asked.
King Chen is his brother-in-law, and his honor and disgrace are related to Shen Wan's future, and Shen Wei will not know it, unless Shen Ji can really kill his relatives in righteousness, or collude with them.
"King Chen is a good person, I believe he won't hurt me, he won't hurt you, and he won't harm the people," Shen Wei took a step or two forward, straightened up, and said, "The so-called body is not afraid of shadows." ”
Wei Shuyan didn't expect Shen Wei to fight this idea, wanting to prove that a person is innocent, he can't be quick to speak, only if he finds the truth, can he return his innocence.
In fact, Wei Shuyan also hopes that it is not King Chen, and King Chen is one of the few people who is good to her.
She sighed, "I hope so! ”
The two of them continued along the pond, and she was full of lotus flowers, and from time to time one or two dragonflies landed on the tips of the flowers, and heard a conversation on the shore, as if frightened.
"In that case, let's cooperate! Find out who is behind the scenes, or return Chen Wangfu to a clean slate. Shen Weier stopped, Wei Shuyan's actions were too extreme, and he could ease up a thing or two with him.
"Cooperation," Wei Shuyan pulled Shen Yan's hairband, wrapped it around his neck, and pulled it hard, so that the bun almost crooked, "How do I know that you and Chen Wang are not in the same group, don't forget, you are the number one suspect with me." ”
Shen Wei looks honest, but he is very cunning in his heart. If he is not dedicated to the Buddha, he is even better than her.
"I wish I was, and I wouldn't be bullied like this." Shen Wei said hatefully.
With Shen Jiong's identity, walking around Chen Wangfu will not be noticeable, and the investigation is indeed much more convenient, but it is too difficult to fully trust him, and it is impossible for her to hand over her back to someone who cannot be fully trusted.
Wei Shuyan: "Can I trust you?" ”
Shen Ji: "Will you believe me?" ”
Those seemingly sincere eyes can really be confusing, Wei Shuyan is a little envious, they are a pair of eyes that are naturally fine-made, and they seem so pure at any time.
The breeze blew, and the catkins behind him blew down here, and the two looked at each other for a long time in the wind.
It wasn't until the wind stopped that Wei Shuyan raised his palm and said, "A word is a certainty." ”
Chen Wangfu is handed over to Shen Jiong, Wei Shuyan is not idle, in addition to Chen Wang, she has another wire lock, it's time to go back to "home".

Wei Shuyan first came to her mother's small courtyard.
Although this yard is remote but very quiet, it is in line with Wei Anling's temperament, she has no hobbies on weekdays, just writing, playing the piano, in recent years, her health has deteriorated, and she can't even touch the piano.
"Miss, don't you want to go? Madame will be happy to see you back. Xiao Yu said.
Wei Shuyan: "No need, it's better not to see one side and then separate." ”
She handed the things in her hand to Xiao Yu, "Let people give this to her." ”
Xiao Yu: "Yes." ”
Wei Shuyan couldn't figure it out, there was obviously a way out, but her mother wanted to force herself to death, this Liu family, this yard, what is worth remembering.
In the main hall, Zhang Yan was holding the letter sent by his son from the border pass, a great victory, and on the occasion of His Majesty's birthday, he was allowed to return to Beijing from the border pass to congratulate, and on the way back to Beijing, he would make a detour back to Jiangling.
It just so happened that Liu Zhao was out on patrol and would return to Jiangling soon.
The mother, who had not been able to see her son for several years, was so excited that she burst into tears, and at the same time she was planning something in her heart.
"Congratulations to my mother, I can finally see my husband and son."
This voice frightened the letter in Zhang Yan's hand and almost shredded, and she asked coldly, "Why are you here?" ”
"Of course, I'm here to say hello to my mother." Wei Shuyan's smile was hidden with a knife.
"Would you be so kind?" Zhang Yan looked Wei Shuyan up and down, her outfit today was in line with the appearance of a lady, but no matter how ladylike her clothes were, she couldn't hide the businessman's aura on her.
"Please don't have to, your father will be back soon, I advise you to do it yourself." Zhang Yan was sarcastic in his words, and rolled his eyes as he spoke.
"I guess I'm saying that to you! Mother. Wei Shuyan raised her eyebrows. Sneered.
Zhang Yan: "You." ”
"Come in!" Wei Shuyan gave an order, and more than a dozen people with big bags and small bags came in outside.
Zhang Yan: "What do you want to do?" ”
Wei Shuyan: "Since my mother came to my funeral last time, I am very grateful, so I decided to move back to Liu's Mansion from today, and I have to honor you well in the days when my brother is away." ”
Wei Shuyan looked at Zhang Yan's appearance of eating green flies, and her heart was overjoyed, and she said to the person behind her: "Move over!" ”
Wei Shuyan's room and Wei Anling are in two directions, since Wei Anling's health problems, Zhang Yan asked her to move to Zhang Yan's yard on the grounds that her mother was weak and sick and could not take care of her. In fact, it is to separate her and her mother's flesh and blood, in short, as long as it can make them unhappy, Zhang Yan will do it.
"Didn't you cut off relations with our Liu family? Why do you want to come back, is it because I heard that Che'er won a great victory and was appreciated by His Majesty, so I also want to come to touch this light. Zhang Yan pulled up his long sleeves and sat on top of the high hall.
It is a good thing that Liu Che won the battle, but how to say it from Zhang Yan's mouth, she felt so unpleasant, she has always been proud of her son, and she is proud when she smiles.
Wei Shuyan: "It's a good thing to win the battle, my brother is the dragon and phoenix among people, I just hope my mother won't discredit him." ”
Zhang Yan hurriedly said: "You, how could I discredit Che'er." ”
"Could it be, you know it in your own heart," Wei Shuyan walked over, approached Zhang Yan, and said, "Have you ever thought about the purpose of the person who sent you the message behind his back, Liu Che won the battle, and in the eyes of many people, he was a thorn, how do you know that it is not aimed at him." ”
Zhang Yan's face turned pale when she heard this, Wei Shuyan saw that the corners of her mouth trembled, and then denied it weakly: "I didn't." ”
"It's okay if not, Wei Shuyan patted her on the shoulder, "Then I'll go and rest first." ”
Her boudoir was not a sought-after room in the first place, and it was not occupied after so many years.
"Miss, do you really plan to stay here for a long time?" After Xiao Yu finished Wei Shuyan's explanation, the house was also cleaned up, and the people were all sent back to the Wei Mansion.
"Don't you know me yet? This is a place I would never want to set foot in. Wei Shuyan lifted the quilt in disgust and pulled the curtain next to the bed.
Xiao Yu said with a smile: "It seems that Miss has a new plan." ”
Wei Shuyan touched the little face that was happy and disgusting, and said, "Xiao Yu still understands me." ”
Xiao Yu: "What does Miss want me to do, just tell me." ”
Wei Shuyan: "I need you, sleep." ”
Xiao Yu: "......"
Xiao Yu: "Ugh. ”
"Miss, that's not good!" Xiao Yu sat on the bed with a little shyness, and her little face was as red as a ripe apple. I don't know, I thought she was sick again.
Wei Shuyan approached the girl with a wicked smile.
*
In the middle of the night, a man in a black cloak quietly left the house from the back door of the Wei Mansion, walking in a hurry, and from time to time he looked to see if someone was following him.
As everyone knows, there is a person on the rooftops on both sides of the street who is performing light skills and quietly following this person.
Wei Shuyan followed Zhang Yan all the way to the city gate, only to see her walk into a shop closest to the city gate, through the gap in the window, she saw Zhang Yan give the old man next to her a penny, and whispered a few words in his ear,
After Zhang Yan left, the white-haired old man with a stiff back straightened his waist, tore off the human skin mask on his face, and he lifted the cauldron on the stove and jumped down.
Wei Shuyan waited for a while, then jumped down, walked about a stick of incense, and then came to the exit, climbed out to see, and sure enough, as she thought, it was a passage out of the city.
Because she couldn't follow too closely, when she came out, the person was already missing, fortunately, she and Xiao Yu had learned some tracking techniques, it was overgrown with weeds, and the person didn't know that someone was following, and there was no awareness of hiding his whereabouts.
Soon she followed the man to a forest on the outskirts of the city that few people had ever set foot in. There were huge rocks there, a pile of people holding torches, and a pile of burning firewood in the middle.
It's as if some kind of sacrifice is being held.
Shadow Guards, we are a sharp blade under our master, and our main master needs us to move forward without hesitation. The man in the lead, dressed in a mink jacket, stood in the center closest to the fire and spoke impassionedly.
"Today, we have finally completed the first task given to us by our master," the leader took out the contents of his arms, which was not large and was wrapped in a yellow cotton cloth.
"Ten years, ten years, we have been dormant for ten years, and we have finally waited for this day." The leader had tears in his eyes.
The so-called shadow guards clenched their knives tightly in their hands, and the small flames in their hearts burned bigger and bigger.
"Alright, give me something!"
The only one around who didn't speak impassionedly to them.
