Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chao Yun got up and was half lying on a imperial concubine's couch in the corridor. He was dressed in a simple blue singlet, covered with a black cloak, and had dark hair shawl. He looked like a gentle and elegant little girl huddled in the imperial concubine's couch. cat.

She was holding an account book, turning sideways to talk to the little girl next to her. The hand holding the account book was still wrapped, but it no longer had the big bun-shaped bundle like before, and was simply wrapped in two or three layers. I can see the pages of the account book turning. Shen Luoxin came to change her medicine once before. The woman, who couldn't sit still, asked someone to help her hold the account books, while she carried two big steamed buns and danced...

When Chao Yun saw Shen Luoxin coming in, he sat up straight and waved his hand, saying hello, "Why do you have time to come to my place? I thought you didn't have enough time to sleep in the past few days." After that, he turned his head. He turned sideways, gave up the seat next to him, and said with a smile, "I won't be polite to you anymore. Sit anywhere you want, on this couch or on a stool."

Shen Luoxin nodded and said hello, sat down on a chair beside her, moved her chin towards Yun's hand, and asked her, "How is your recovery?"

The other party raised his hand, "It's much better. In fact, it's nothing serious. It's just that these little girls are timid and cautious. They must be bandaged by me and don't let me do anything. Don't touch the water on weekdays. , even this account book, it is stipulated that you can only read it for half an hour... I said I only hurt my hand, not my eyes or my head..." After that, he sighed to himself.

The maid on the side explained softly, "Miss Ji has ordered you to rest more and rest more. Mr. Chen also said that you can recover faster only if you have a good rest. Your injury is not serious, so you must not be careless."

"Indeed, you should be more obedient. It's not that easy for those two to talk about it... Besides, if there are scars due to negligence, wouldn't it be a pity to use a good hand?" Shen Luoxin frowned slightly and smiled. He told the maid, "Take the account book from your aunt's hand and prepare a pot of good tea. I feel thirsty just after sitting down."

The maid nodded in agreement and apologized frequently, "I was negligent, girl. Don't blame me. I'll go get ready right now. Girl, wait a moment. I'll come back as soon as I go." With that, he pulled the maid beside him and walked away.

Chao Yun looked at her sideways, folded his cloak and leaned back, then asked clearly, "Tell me, why are you here?"

Shen Luoxin lowered his head and rubbed the soft fur of the cloak on his fingertips, and said with a smile, "Can't I just come and see your injury? Now that you have recovered for a while, it's time to change the prescription."

Chao Yun shook his head and laughed. After a while, he raised his inconvenient hand and touched Shen Luoxin's head. She was a little older than Shen Luoxin. She always looked at Shen Luoxin as if she were her own sister. A little more gentle and tolerant, "You girl... When did you come to my house to open your mouth and trouble the maids? I heard that there is only one little girl in your own courtyard, and you usually do everything by yourself... Today you have sent them away. You just have something to say. Besides, you really can’t hide anything. Your face is full of hesitation... Let’s talk about it. I’m always older than you and have experienced a lot. There are more than you, and maybe I can ask Da to help you clear up your doubts now."

"I..." Shen Luoxin pursed her lips, still looking at her fingertips. After a while, she pursed her lips again and then asked, "I wonder...do you still remember the maid named Bai Xue in our house, just... It’s the one in my courtyard.”

Chao Yun nodded, "I remember. At that time, I was still running Fengchenju, and the girl asked me to arrange for some maids to come over. I brought one from Fengchenju, and found two more from Yabozi outside. The one in your courtyard is Yabozi. I looked for him everywhere. I looked at my honest duty, why... you didn't do the job well?" Shen Luoxin shook his head and said no. He thought about it for a moment but still hesitated. After all, it was Chao Yun who found him. Shen Luoxin felt that It would be better if he found evidence, but now he has no real evidence and only relies on his weird feeling, the so-called sixth sense, to express his doubts here to Chaoyun. It is somewhat impolite. .

She was still hesitating, but Chao Yun understood and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what you want to say. I have been cultivating for such a long time, and I don't care about many things. As you can see... just read a book The account books are all time-limited, so I really can’t take care of the affairs of these maids.”

She handed the steps over in person, and Shen Luoxin stopped hesitating and told her all her confusion before saying, "I'm just worried that she will do something bad for us, so I wanted to ask you. Do you know where she works?"

Before... Chao Yun gathered up the big cloak on his body, frowned and said, "Whether it's the maids from Fengchenju or Ji's family, I was probably found by Mrs. Wang. I did investigate the past in detail at the beginning. After all, that's it." I wasn't very familiar with Mrs. Wang at that time, but we kept in touch with her a lot later, mostly just asking casual questions. I just believed what she said, but I was negligent... I remember that Bai Xue, this girl, said that she worked for a wealthy businessman before, and the wealthy businessman left. She didn't want to leave Yanjing City, so she went to Mrs. Wang's place to find some work."

The fingertips twirling the fur paused slightly, Shen Luoxin lowered his eyes and smiled, "So dull and honest and very strict in rules, anytime and anywhere, he would be like a frightened bird coming out of the deep house courtyard... If you don't tell me, I thought it was in the deep palace. Coming from a concubine who is not favored."

Chao Yun glanced sideways for a while, then laughed softly, with a casual and gentle tone, "It seems that I have to go and have a chat with Mrs. Wang in a few days..."

"No need." Shen Luoxin stopped him, "You can still take good care of your body now. You suffered a lot in the East Palace and lost your energy and blood. These injuries are in your heart and cannot be seen from the outside, but you cannot take it lightly. We can only raise it back slowly... What the maids said is not unreasonable. As for Bai Xue, I will keep an eye on it first, and then let Wuyan send people to keep an eye on it secretly. We are secretly keeping her in the dark, and if she doesn't cause trouble, she will Forget it, if you still want to cause trouble, just take the person directly, and you will get both the stolen goods and the stolen goods."

The little girl spoke softly, even with a bit of a smile, which was not as cool as Ji Wuyan's smile.

Even though Shen Luoxin said these words, her eyes were still gentle, and she seemed to have a good temper and an open-minded personality.

He is actually a completely different person from the girl, but he is very similar in many aspects. Chao Yun tilted his head and looked at Shen Luoxin. After a long while, he raised his hand to brush back the fallen hair, then smiled and said, "That's fine, it's just that Luo Xin is tired." This was her first time. When she called the other person "Luo Xin", even she was slightly startled, then she bent her eyes and chuckled.
