After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

"What did you say?" Sun Qiu's lips trembled.

Shen Ruoyan raised her eyelids, glanced at Sun Qiuwei, and said with great regret: "Originally, I thought that as a woman, it would not be easy for you to climb to this position in the harem, so I thought of finding a place for you to step down.

If you are unable to stay in Yizhou due to physical discomfort, the imperial concubine will not blame you after you return.

But you are so nice and don't know good from evil at all, which really chills me. "

Sun Qiuwei still wanted to quibble and refused to admit her relationship with the imperial concubine, "What imperial concubine? I am following the order of the Queen Mother..."

"Okay, stop talking." Shen Ruoyan waved her hand impatiently, interrupting her, and turned to Qin'er and said, "Bring me that box."

Qin'er picked up a wooden box from the shelf. Shen Ruoyan didn't move and gestured with her eyes to hand the box to Sun Qiuwei.

"Aunt Sun, give it." Qin'er placed the box in front of Sun Qiuwei.

Seeing her lack of movement, Shen Ruoyan asked, "Why don't you open it and see what's inside?"

Sun Qiuwei looked at Shen Ruoyan warily, and intuitively felt that there was definitely not something he wanted to see inside.

After a moment of silence, Sun Qiudang opened the box.

After she saw what was inside, she could no longer maintain the pretense of calmness on her face and asked in shock: "Why is this letter in your hand?"

What was placed in the box was the secret letter intercepted by the secret guard from the boss of Mihang.

Shen Ruoyan smiled, "Aunt Sun, do you want to call the boss of Mihang and ask him what is going on?"

Faced with conclusive evidence, it was unexpected that there was no trace of panic on Sun Qiuwei's face.

She opened the letter and glanced at it briefly, then raised her eyebrows and asked Shen Ruoyan, "What else have you done? When did you get this letter?"

Shen Ruoyan raised her eyebrows, narrowed her eyes, and stared at Sun Qiuwei, trying to get some clues from her face.

Sun Qiuwei's reaction was beyond her expectation.

Sun Qiuwei's face was indeed full of worry.

But this kind of worry is not at all like the nervousness after having one's identity exposed, but more like the irritation of having one's plan ruined.

Shen Ruoyan really couldn't understand how she dared to question herself when he had put the evidence in front of her.

"What do you mean?" Shen Ruoyan calmed down, not wanting to be frightened by Sun Qiuwei.

Sun Qiuwei seemed to have thought of something, raised his eyebrows, curved a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth, and asked, "Didn't Mr. Lu tell you?"

"What's the matter?" Shen Ruoyan's voice was unconsciously filled with uncertainty.

Lu Yan has been very busy every day recently, leaving almost before dawn. When he returns home at night, it is late at night, and Shen Ruoyan has already fallen asleep.

It was rare for the two of them to meet each other, and Lu Yan just asked Shen Ruoyan to have a good rest, and left in a hurry without saying a few words.

Counting this way, Shen Ruoyan and Lu Yan have not had a good chat for nearly a month.

So Shen Ruoyan knew nothing about Lu Yan.

Seeing the confusion on Shen Ruoyan's face, Sun Qiuwei became even happier and said with an air of dignity: "I'm warning you, you must not act rashly. If you mess up Mr. Lu's affairs, Mr. Lu will definitely blame you!"

Shen Ruoyan pursed her lips, but the expression on Sun Qiuwei's face didn't look like he was pretending.

However, Shen Ruoyan certainly would not let her go so easily.

"Wait!" Shen Ruoyan stopped Sun Qiuwei, "You can't leave your room until the matter is investigated."

Sun Qiu slightly turned around and looked at Shen Ruoyan with a look of pride, "You only need to ask Mr. Lu about this matter. Why bother me?"

Shen Ruoyan felt depressed.

Facing Sun Qiuwei's determined attitude, she felt as if she was the outsider.

That night, when Lu Yan came back, he saw candles still lit in the room.

He quickened his pace and pushed open the door softly, only to see Shen Ruoyan leaning on the sofa, dozing off with her head supported by one hand.

By candlelight, Lu Yan stared at Shen Ruoyan's peaceful sleeping face.

She didn't dress up, and her black hair was scattered casually on the back of her head, giving her an indescribable sense of tranquility.

Just looking at it like this is a satisfying enjoyment.

He was so busy these days that he could only watch Shen Ruoyan sleeping every day.

Lu Yan watched for a while, then bent down and picked up Shen Ruoyan.

Feeling her body being moved, Shen Ruoyan murmured something. She half-opened her eyes and realized it was Lu Yan. She naturally raised her hands and put them around the man's neck, rubbing her head against the man's neck like a little kitten. , nestled in Lu Yan's arms.

Lu Yan couldn't help but chuckle.

"Ayan, why don't you go to bed and sleep?" The originally cold voice was full of tenderness, "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Shen Ruoyan closed her eyes and shook her head.

When Lu Yan put her on the bed, she was looking at her eyes, quietly watching the man change clothes and wash up. After Lu Yan finished everything, Shen Ruoyan finally woke up.

"I have something to ask you." Shen Ruoyan got up from the bed.

Lu Yan looked at her bare ankles, frowned, and said, "Why aren't you wearing socks?"

Then he hugged her back.

Shen Ruoyan twisted her body dissatisfied, but Lu Yan's big hands held her waist tightly, so she could only point to the wooden box on the table and said, "Go and see for yourself."

Lu Yan turned his head and rubbed Shen Ruoyan's cheek.

Shen Ruoyan was made blushing by him, but when she thought of what she wanted to ask, her mood dropped unconsciously.

Turning her face away and avoiding Lu Yan's kiss, Shen Ruoyan emphasized: "Bring that box over quickly, I have something to ask you."

Lu Yan kissed her one last time with nostalgia, then stood up and opened the wooden box.

When he saw the intercepted secret letter, his eyes jumped slightly.

Shen Ruoyan, who had been watching his every move, naturally did not miss it, and immediately understood that it turned out that as Sun Qiuwei said, Lu Yan had known about this for a long time.

"Did you know that Sun Qiuwei secretly passed this information to the imperial concubine?" Shen Ruoyan asked unwillingly, knowing the result in her heart.

Lu Yan didn't answer.

Sometimes, not answering is also an answer.

Shen Ruoyan felt uncomfortable, frowned and asked, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Lu Yan put down the letter, walked back to Shen Ruoyan, and explained the whole story in detail.

It turned out that Sun Qiuwei had long revealed to Lu Yan that she was the spy sent by the imperial concubine to monitor Lu Yan, and said that she could hide it from the imperial concubine and help Lu Yan in turn.

This confidential letter seemed to be Sun Qiuwei reporting Lu Yan's news to the Imperial Concubine. In fact, the information was half true and half false, especially the news that they had investigated Uncle Zhou's stronghold. Lu Yan deliberately let the Imperial Concubine know.
