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

In a corner that no one else noticed, there were already some rumors in the capital. It was heard that in the south, officials protected each other and took the money and food of the people into their pockets. In fact, in their place, they were the real local emperors.

Not long after Li Jing entered the palace, Li Wenxuan and others were also summoned into the palace.

No one outside knew what Emperor Yingde's attitude was. He simply handed the matter over to Li Wenxuan and gave him half a month to find out the truth behind the scenes.

At the same time, the Shen Mansion, which had been quite quiet for a while, suddenly became lively because Shen Wanqing had reached the age to get married, and Shen Ling had recently been thinking about marrying off his daughter.

Shen Wanqing got very angry at home because of this and drove everyone out of the backyard, but it didn't work to win back Shen Ling.

When Shen Lanyue received this news, she put down the book in her hand and was stunned.

"at this time?"

She nodded, surprised. "Indeed, quite a few people have come to visit during this period."

Shen Lanyue was silent for a while and then sneered.

"The drunkard's real interest is not in drinking."

"What?" Fanfan didn't understand what she meant.

"Although Shen Wanqing's reputation has been somewhat damaged because of what happened last time, Shen Ling will not give up his good daughter so easily."

Shen Wanqing has not lost Li Wenxuan's love for her, and those real and fake men have not completely ignored Shen Wanqing. How could Shen Ling give up now?

unless……

Shen Lanyue's eyes darkened, and a hint of watery color appeared in her sparkling eyes. In an instant, the corners of her mouth raised.

"It seems that my brother has found the key evidence, so at this time there must be something to attract other people's attention to the Shen family, but it is not so obvious."

"Where did it come from?" Shen Lanyue knew that it was a list, a list that shocked the entire court.

It is impossible to answer this question in general terms.

"But Madam, I have found the person you asked me to find, but I don't think he has anything special about him. I even think he is in a very embarrassing situation."

Shen Lanyue was somewhat curious: "Hmm?"

"That person is now selling food near Qianlu Tower, and occasionally does business with the girls in the building."

This aroused Shen Lanyue's curiosity even more. She didn't know the man's face very well, but she remembered that he later became a first-class assistant under Meng Changce.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Fanfan continued, "But it's not that kind of business. It's just running errands for the girls in the building."

Shen Lanyue smiled, and a hint of deep meaning appeared in her eyes.

"Then I'd rather meet this person properly."

"But it's not convenient for you to go over there, madam." It's not that Fanfan deliberately stopped her, but Qianlu Tower was a brothel.

"I'm not going into the building and we don't need to dress like women."

Shen Lanyue actually just wanted to meet this person. After all, he became famous because of this incident. This was related to Li Wenxuan and it must have been Meng Changce's doing.

Besides, Qianlulou is not a fool. What they want to do is a profitable business. What does it matter whether they are men or women?

I am neither going to catch an adulterer nor to cause trouble. As long as I have money in my hands, they will naturally behave themselves.

-------------------------------------

Qianlu Tower is located at a bustling corner of the capital. This place is far away from the most obvious main road but is a must-pass place for most roads. It is a prosperous place.

Shen Lanyue's carriage was parked at a corner of the alley. As long as you lifted the curtain, you could see small vendors selling things near Qianlu Tower, scattered all over the street.

The person she was looking for was in the best position on the left, only a few meters away. The vendor looked very ordinary.

He is so ordinary that you can’t even see him in a crowd. He is neither tall nor fat, and very inconspicuous.

"Miss, that's the man." Fanfan pointed with his finger. "There's no one left in his family, and he hasn't married or had any children yet."

"Yang Cheng." Shen Lanyue looked at the man, and when she said this name, it seemed like her glorious past life.

Looking at his face, Shen Lanyue finally remembered in her mind that the only difference between this person and the previous life was that there was no scar running from the forehead across the left eye.

"Madam, do you want me to find an excuse to ask that person to come over now?"

Shen Lanyue shook her head: "No need." The time was not right yet, and she had not seen Shen Zian appear.

Although Fanfan didn't quite understand why the lady went to so much trouble to find this person, she only came to stare at him.

I could only continue to watch the man's actions secretly. Soon, I saw a woman in thin clothes found him. After saying a few words hurriedly, I saw the man smiling and talking to other vendors.

Then he followed the woman into Qianlu Tower.

"Madam, the merchant has entered Qianlu Tower."

Shen Lanyue's eyes flashed, and she turned around and leaned forward to look at the stall that had been left.

"Let's go, let's go and broaden our horizons."

Shen Lanyue brought Fanfan into Qianlu Tower, and it went smoothly. Both of them were dressed as men. The colorful and beautiful scenery inside, the graceful red-dressed women, were full of ambiguity.

Fan Fan had never seen such a scene before. He hid behind Shen Lanyue and his ears turned red. He peeked at his wife and found that she didn't look uncomfortable at all.

He still looked like a contented and talented scholar, the fan in his hand swaying with his movements.

The old procuress came over to greet Shen Lanyue and the others, swaying her waist. She first looked them up and down, then smiled and said, "I wonder who the two gentlemen are..."

Shen Lanyue knew what her pause meant, and just smiled and threw a purse from his sleeve to her.

"Of course I'm looking for the most beautiful girl. Do you have other business in Qianlulou?"

The madam saw a lazy smile on her lips, but her eyes narrowed slightly, and she asked casually. She weighed the weight in her hand, and her smile became bigger. When she heard Shen Lanyue's words, she begged for mercy again and again.

"Oh, my dear, of course! Whichever girl you are looking for, I will find her for you right away and guarantee that I will serve you comfortably."

Fanfan felt like he was about to get hot as he listened from behind.

"Then of course we'll have to ask for the prettiest and smartest girl in your building."

"Okay!" The madam smiled even more happily and raised her hand, "Come, take the two gentlemen to the VIP room on the second floor."

Shen Lanyue smiled, played with the fan in her hand, nodded to the madam, and went upstairs.

The VIP rooms on the second floor are naturally decorated extremely well in every detail, neither gaudy nor overbearing, but rather elegant.

After Fanfan waited for the servants to go down and close the door, he said to Shen Lanyue with admiration: "Madam, you are amazing! The madam really didn't doubt us at all."

Shen Lanyue glanced around the room, turned around and looked at her, smiled with her phoenix eyes, and touched her forehead with her fan.

"She noticed we were women the moment we walked in."
