As expected by everyone, she became the wife of the Marquis after being married off

After the two of them understood each other a little bit, Xu Ziyun left. After all, she couldn't stay for long this time.

After Shen Lanyue stood at the door and saw off the Xu family's carriage, she glanced at Fanfan beside her before returning to her own yard.

Fan Fan nodded silently, left the crowd silently, and returned to Shen Lanyue after about a few minutes.

No one noticed Fanfan's departure.

Shen Lanyue took the tea that Fanfan brought over, slightly opened her eyes and said, "You have to pack everything up, and nothing can go wrong when the Marquis comes back."

"Madam, rest assured. I will go there myself."

"That's good."

Shen Lanyue glanced at the person at the door through the edge of the water cup and smiled secretly.

New faces, never seen before!

I just don't know whose subordinate this person is from. The master behind him is just watching Meng Changce's attitude towards the Xu family. Shen Lanyue understands that she can't take it too seriously nor too lightly, and can only do things in accordance with the rules.

……

It was already very late when Meng Changce returned. As the season was getting colder, he could not help feeling a little cold when he returned.

Shen Lanyue always changed his outer robe as soon as he entered the room and let Meng Changce wear the warm clothes prepared in the morning.

Meng Changce felt the warmth on his body, "Thank you, Lanyue." He took her hand and smiled as he looked at her gentleness and charm.

"It's my duty. My Lord, you must be hungry. Would you like to order some food now?"

"No, I've had it with the Fourth Prince. I'm not hungry."

Shen Lanyue didn't say anything.

"The Xu family sent something today, but you need to deliver it to the Marquis now."

Meng Changce was stunned, pulled her to sit next to him, looked at her in surprise and said, "No need."

Shen Lanyue also saw the emotions in his eyes, but she just couldn't figure it out.

Seeing that she had nothing to say, Meng Changce suddenly seemed to be interested and said slowly: "Of course I know what the Xu family means. The eldest son of the Xu family cannot come forward, so he can only use his sister who has a good reputation in the capital to send gifts to the women in the mansion."

"But Xu Ziyun clearly stated that this gift was for the Marquis, and also stated that it was given to the Marquis by the eldest son."

And the people following her were obviously planted by other people. Of course, Shen Lanyue didn't say it, but she knew Meng Changce knew it.

As expected, Meng Changce just raised the corner of his mouth and continued, "When the eldest daughter of the Xu family goes to the mansion, who will receive her?"

"Yes..." Shen Lanyue suddenly realized, "They are all women in the family."

"Those officials won't see her, and it's not easy for them to see her. This is the Xu family's cleverness." Meng Changce smiled and said, "The people above forced the Xu family to go out and meet us, but how could the Xu family be so stupid at this critical point?"

Shen Lanyue understood: "So Xu Ziyun is a necessary candidate."

"Smart." Meng Changce smiled. He tapped her forehead and pulled her into his arms.

Shen Lanyue knew what Meng Changce meant by the rest of the words, without him having to explain.

Whether the people following Xu Ziyun are the emperor's people or the queen's people, what they want to see is that the Xu family will put aside their own face and take the initiative to make friends with them.

The Xu family couldn't be too obvious, so Xu Ziyun, the unmarried daughter, was the best choice. When she went to the mansion, most of the people who saw her were the young ladies or daughters-in-law in the family.

Shen Lanyue saw that Meng Changce's eyes still showed fatigue that could not be concealed, and she also understood that there seemed to be no progress in the corruption case.

"My Lord, would you like to lie down? I will give you a good massage."

When Meng Changce heard her words, he just narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at her seriously. When Shen Lanyue started to wonder if he had any questions to ask her, he smiled.

"Okay." After saying that, he let go of Shen Lanyue, letting the warmth in his arms leave him.

After Shen Lanyue lay down, her eyes flickered a few times and her body bent slightly. Meng Changce opened his eyes and pulled him down to sit, and then he naturally lay on her legs.

The pillow was soft, and the fragrance of the scent of lily invaded his nostrils. The force pressing on the acupoints was just right, and it immediately relieved the fatigue between Meng Changce's brows.

Just as Fanfan was about to step in, he saw the warm scene inside. He muttered a few words in his heart and left quietly.

Shen Lanyue just happened to raise her eyes and saw the corner of her clothes. She suppressed the emotion that flashed across her eyes and continued to lower her head to press Meng Changce's forehead.

……

Meng Changce left Shen Lanyue early the next morning. Fan Fan did not dare to hang around in front of Meng Changce, as she was still afraid of this marquis.

Fanfan always felt that as long as she stared at him, she would be killed by the hidden danger in his eyes, even though the Marquis was usually warm and gentle in his lady's courtyard.

He seemed to be able to see through the secrets in his heart. He did not dare to accidentally reveal the secret that Shen Lanyue had entrusted to him to the Marquis.

So every time, he would let others help the Marquis wash up and then leave, while Fanfan would wait until Shen Lanyue woke up before entering the house.

Shen Lanyue took the handkerchief handed over by Fanfan, wiped her face clean, and let the others leave before raising her eyebrows and looking at Fanfan.

"Madam, it's just as you predicted. The people below have sent news that the young master has been leaving early and returning late in recent days. But the people who followed the young master saw that he always left the government office early."

Fanfan paused here, first looked towards the window, then cautiously approached Shen Lanyue and continued: "The young master is very careful when traveling, he doesn't even bring a personal servant, and he acts very cautiously."

Shen Lanyue frowned and asked, "Do you know where he went?"

"The last time he appeared was at a farm outside the city, but he left soon after. And it seems that the young master has discovered our people."

"Outside the city." Shen Lanyue murmured these two words, but her heart was still unsettled. "No need to follow the master anymore."

"But I still haven't found anything."

I don't understand anything.

Shen Lanyue smiled, "Your master is not a fool. Since he has discovered that someone is following him, he will naturally be extra careful. There is no way he can find anything."

What Shen Lanyue didn't say was that Shen Zian didn't know who was following him. If he continued like this, he would definitely set a trap to trap our people, and that would be a loss.

"Yes, I understand."

Shen Lanyue couldn't help but smile when she saw her cautious look.

"You don't understand what my recent behavior means, do you?"

Fanfan shook his head repeatedly, staring at Shen Lanyue with one hundred percent trust in his eyes.

"I will always believe in you, Madam. As long as you tell me to do something, I will do it. I can even let you die!"
