Su Qingwan immediately thought of the expression on Yan Mingjue's face when he saw her and Zhou Shulan in the alley that day.

But at that time, Yan Mingjue's coldness was directed at Zhou Shulan, but now it was directed at her.

"It's not what you think."

Su Qingwan pursed her lips and explained:

"I'm not concerned about him, but I was surprised that he would be sent to Yun County all of a sudden."

"I heard that it is very far from the capital."

Moreover, the people were fierce and later, riots broke out.

"Do you know Yun County?"

Yan Mingjue looked at Su Qingwan. That was a remote place where even the ministers in the court might not know about Yun County. Yet, this weak woman like Su Qingwan actually knew about it and seemed to be very familiar with it.

She held more secrets than he had imagined.

"Yes, I read it in a book."

Su Qingwan said this with gritted teeth.

She felt the shock coming from Yan Mingjue, which was really frightening.

At this moment, she finally understood that he had always been very tolerant of her.

Thinking of what Yan Liu said when she left, she was silent for a moment and then said:

"I have never liked Zhou Shulang. Ever since I married you, I just wanted to live a good life with you."

"Besides, I don't think highly of people like him."

She had never explained anything to Yan Mingjue, but Yan Mingjue seemed to care a lot about her and Zhou Shulan.

This time, let's just make it clear.

Hearing her say that she had never liked Zhou Shulan and looked down on Zhou Shulan, the depression that had just risen in Yan Mingjue's heart instantly disappeared a lot.

He raised his eyelids and glanced at Su Qingwan, and asked in a mysterious way:

"Who does Miss Su fancy?"

Su Qingwan's heart trembled and she looked at Yan Mingjue.

When their eyes met, even the atmosphere around them became a little sticky.

Qinshu went out very tactfully, and the sound of the door closing gently startled the two of them.

Su Qingwan coughed lightly:

"Zhou Shulang was suddenly sent abroad. Is it related to my husband?"

Yan Ming never denied:

"Since he had a crush on someone he shouldn't have, he should suffer a little."

Su Qingwan knew what he meant and didn't say anything.

In this life, Zhou Shulang went to Yun County one year earlier than in his previous life. He wondered if he would encounter the same things from his previous life.

If he doesn't meet him, then he's really lucky, right?

Su Qingwan's worries were unnecessary because Yan Mingjue had already asked someone to make arrangements.

Many officials who were sent to other places died on the road, including Zhou Shulan.

The two of them were in a cozy room, but the Yongning Marquis's mansion was in an uproar.

"Why would they send you out for a short time? And to a place like Yun County?"

Marquis Yongning frowned. They were a family of meritorious service, and their son was the top scholar in the imperial examination. If he could stay in the Hanlin Academy for another two years, he would be able to move up to a higher position. However, now he was sent to Yun County to be a county magistrate.

Being sent out to other places is always a promotion in name only and a demotion in reality. He was directly made a county magistrate, and even his rank was downgraded.

"What on earth did you do wrong? Did you offend your superior?"

He had already noticed that his son's condition had been a little off recently. As expected, when the family was in turmoil, work would be affected.

Zhou Shulan didn't say anything, his face looked a little gloomy.

He was determined to compete with Yan Mingjue, but seeing that Yan Mingjue was about to become a second-rank official, he became a small seventh-rank official.

Moreover, how many of those who have been sent out can return to Beijing?

He was indeed negligent this time and was set up for a trap. He could guess who set the trap for him, but he couldn't tell his father. In the end, he could only say that he made a mistake in his work.

Marquis Yongning was furious, but since he was his eldest son after all, he still gave him many instructions before letting Zhou Shulan leave.

As soon as Zhou Shulan left the yard, his mother couldn't wait to call him over and started crying again.

Zhou Shulang had been enduring it, feeling very annoyed.

This irritability reached its peak when he saw Su Qinghe.

"what are you doing here?"

Seeing Su Qinghe appear in his study, he felt like his place was being soiled by someone.
