In the inner courtyard, Shen Jingyan and Mu Zhexuan sat across from each other. The tea in front of them was slightly cold, but neither of them spoke first.

"Mu Zhexuan, yesterday..." Shen Jingyan couldn't help but speak first, but she was interrupted by Mu Zhexuan mid-sentence.

"Although I don't remember what I said yesterday, I spoke it from the bottom of my heart. I spoke the truth after drinking." Mu Zhexuan's cheeks were slightly red. He could vaguely remember some of yesterday's events, but he couldn't remember them all. Now Shen Jingyan asked , he recognized them all, as long as Shen Jingyan didn't leave.

"Oh?" Shen Jingyan chuckled after hearing this, "Yesterday you told me that your wife was about to run away."

"Then did you run away?" Mu Zhexuan knew that Shen Jingyan could not be seen now, so fortunately he did not pretend, and his tone was calm, but there was rarely a hint of panic on his face.

In fact, Mu Zhexuan really didn't want Shen Jingyan to leave.

"If you want me to leave, I will leave." Shen Jingyan fumbled for the cup of tea, but Mu Zhexuan was one step ahead and handed the tea to her lips.

"I don't want you to leave." There was a hint of tenderness in Mu Zhexuan's eyes, but unfortunately Shen Jingyan couldn't see it.

Shen Jingyan was slightly startled, and drank the tea from Mu Zhexuan's hand, thinking in her mind, 'I am afraid that the court is still unstable, and Mu Zhexuan may still need the Shen family's border forces, and he must get rid of Taifu Xie. .'

"I understand, I won't leave." Shen Jingyan nodded slightly. She had thought too superficially before, but she had forgotten that when Mu Zhexuan tried to persuade her to stay, he said that the court was unstable and needed the help of the Shen family. Now Shen Jingyan suffered the loss of Taifu Xie, so she naturally knew that Taifu Xie was still in the court. Mu Zhexuan's status was indeed unstable, and Murong Ruo would not make it easy for Mu Zhexuan. It seemed that she did have to keep more. time.

"Seriously?" Mu Zhexuan was so happy that he didn't even control his tone.

Shen Jingyan was stunned again and sighed secretly, 'Mu Zhexuan must have had many twists and turns in the court, otherwise he would not have lost the fake appearance of a beast in clothes, but would actually look happy.'

Mu Zhexuan was immersed in Shen Jingyan's words and never thought of explaining his previous excuse. Little did he know that it was this lack of explanation that confirmed Shen Jingyan's stereotype of being greedy for power.

"Mu Zhexuan, there are some things I need to explain to you." Shen Jingyan pondered for a moment and continued, "First, I have seen all the officials you asked me to investigate before you entered Sichuan. The Kan family is gone. , I don’t know who the newly appointed Minister of Rites is, but the other families have indeed colluded with the Wang family, and there are also problems with the family’s accounts. I have stolen the original copy and put it on the second bookshelf in the study."

"Second, Yuchun Tower is an intelligence office I set up in the name of the Regent's Palace. Someone will send the information to the housekeeper on the fifteenth day of every month. You can take over when the time comes. As for whether it will be useful or not, it all depends on you. The specifics The housekeeper should know a thing or two about the matter, so you can ask. It's just that some people in the intelligence department only had a relationship with me for three years, and after three years they went their separate ways without asking what happened." Shen Jingyan paused here. After a pause, she was embarrassed to say how much the Yuchun Tower spent every month. After all, the money was not a small amount, but the gold bricks she had collected a few days ago were enough for the Yuchun Tower. Earn until she dies of old age.

After hearing this, Mu Zhexuan chuckled softly and said, "I thought I would not be able to escape unscathed today, but I didn't expect it was Madam's confession to me."
