Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder is Very Leisurely
Chapter 494 Cannon Fodder Concubines in the Deep Palace 57
When Yu Nuan arrived at the military camp, some officials in the room were already getting impatient, but seeing Shen Yan sitting comfortably in his seat, they didn't feel comfortable leaving.
"Your Highness, we're back. Miss Jiang is the one who saved us yesterday, and it was because of her that we were able to capture the Third Prince," Qi Heng said excitedly.
Upon hearing that it was Yu Nuan who had helped, everyone became interested and looked at Yu Nuan behind Qi Heng. However, the woman in front of them looked somewhat familiar.
Shen Chunyu, unaware of the reason behind it, walked angrily over to Yu Nuan upon seeing her, intending to slap her, "You bitch, how dare you hurt my brother!"
Qingyi was about to stop Yu Nuan when Qi Heng beat her to it, stopping Shen Chunyu's raised arm and warning, "This is a military camp, not the governor's home."
Shen Chunyu glared at Yu Nuan with resentment. Knowing that she could not succeed, she swayed over to the military governor and said, "My lord, you must do justice for me! The murderer is right here. You must avenge my brother."
After Shen Chunyu finished speaking, she winked at the military governor, only to find that his gaze remained fixed on Yu Nuan. This made Shen Chunyu hate Yu Nuan even more, and she cursed her inwardly as a little vixen. But she had to admit that the woman before her was unparalleled in beauty; in Shen Chunyu's limited knowledge, she had never seen such a beautiful girl.
Moreover, judging from her overall demeanor, she doesn't seem like a girl from an ordinary family at all.
"Jiang Yunuan, former Consort Yu."
Shen Yan recognized Yu Nuan as soon as she entered the room and was quite surprised. However, Shen Yan managed his expression well and did not show much emotion. It was only because Qi Heng had been by his side for a long time that he could see the shock in Shen Yan's eyes.
After Qi Heng discovered this, he was still wondering to himself, "How does His Highness know Miss Jiang?"
As soon as Shen Yan finished speaking, a gasp of surprise rang out in the room. With Shen Yan's prompting, the officials who looked familiar finally recognized Yu Nuan. However, none of them expected to see her here.
"Greetings, Your Highness Prince Yan." "Greetings, Your Highness Prince Yan." Yu Nuan and Qingyi bowed to Shen Yan in unison.
"Miss Jiang, there's no need for such formalities. Someone, please bring Miss Jiang a seat."
Shen Chunyu's greatest strength is her ability to read people's expressions. Hearing Shen Yan's address to Yu Nuan and the attitude of the officials present towards Yu Nuan, she understood that Yu Nuan was of noble status and definitely someone she couldn't afford to offend.
"Sir, who is this Miss Jiang? Why does everyone seem to be treating her strangely?"
"Shut your mouth and don't say anything later. If you anger Miss Jiang, I won't be able to save you either." The military governor now deeply regretted that he had been greedy for beauty and spoiled such a brainless fool.
"Miss Jiang, Jiang Yunuan, I knew it! Why does that sound so familiar? Miss Jiang, you are truly amazing. You have excellent medical skills and you even helped the imperial court find high-yield potatoes. You are a true hero."
After learning Yu Nuan's identity, Qi Heng worshipped everything about her like a mindless fan.
Yu Nuan smiled and said, "You are the true heroes who protect our homeland."
Qi Heng, embarrassed by Yu Nuan's praise, scratched his head and grinned foolishly. Shen Yan, sitting at the head of the table, couldn't bear to watch.
“Your Highness, I know you came to me to investigate yesterday’s assault. Yes, I did injure the person.”
Yu Nuan turned to Shen Yan and admitted it. She didn't know what kind of person Shen Yan was, but judging from his previous work style, he should be a person who clearly distinguishes between rewards and punishments.
"Oh, really? Why did Miss Jiang hit someone?" Shen Yan raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected Yu Nuan to admit it so quickly. But even if Yu Nuan hadn't said anything, Shen Yan knew that she was definitely not in the wrong.
When she was still Consort Yu, Shen Yan visited the palace a few times. At that time, everyone said that the Emperor favored Consort Yu the most. However, Shen Yan understood the Emperor. Compared to other women, Consort Yu was the one he found acceptable, which was why he showed her favor. To say that he truly had her in his heart was not entirely true.
In the few brief encounters he had with her in the palace, Shen Yan could tell that this favored concubine, Consort Yu, had a kind and gentle nature.
Later, when Shen Yan heard that his elder brother had dismissed the harem in order to marry the woman he loved, Shen Yan was not surprised at all.
“Your Highness, last night my maid and I were having dinner in the lobby of the inn when this young master of the Shen family came in with his men. Seeing that I was reasonably good-looking, he tried to forcibly take me back to his mansion. Of course, I refused such an offense. Fortunately, I had learned some martial arts at Yunqi Temple, which is why I didn’t let the young master of the Shen family succeed.”
After Yu Nuan finished speaking, she looked at the military governor next to Shen Chunyu and said, "Military governor, do you know that this young master of the Shen family is using your name to run rampant in the city, acting tyrannically and harming countless women?"
The military governor was speechless when Yu Nuan asked him. He knew that Shen Jianbing had always known that his brother-in-law was acting under his name, but he did not know the specifics of what he had done.
"I do not know."
Seeing that things were not going well, Shen Chunyu quickly said, "Miss Jiang, my brother offended you unintentionally. I apologize on his behalf. Considering his serious injuries, I beg you to forgive him."
Yu Nuan glanced at Shen Chunyu but didn't reply. The reason why the eldest young master of the Shen family dared to act as an accomplice to evil was because of the indulgence of this Madam Wu.
Seeing that Yu Nuan remained silent, the others also kept quiet. Two officials who were close to the military governor had initially intended to speak up for him, but after learning Yu Nuan's identity, they all lowered their heads and remained silent, sitting quietly to the side the entire time.
For a moment, the room was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.
"Governor, is everything Miss Jiang said just now true? Your brother-in-law, the eldest son of the Shen family, is running rampant in Liangzhou City because of your power?"
Shen Yan stared intently at the military governor and asked.
The military governor, under Shen Yan's gaze, was already sweating profusely. He hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, I truly do not know. I will immediately send someone to investigate. If Shen Jianbing has indeed done such a thing, I will certainly handle it impartially in accordance with the laws of the court."
Shen Chunyu knew immediately that the military governor was serious, so she knelt down and hugged his leg, pleading, "Master, please don't! My brother really knows he was wrong. He's still young. I will definitely discipline him strictly in the future."
"Get out of the way, this is all your fault." The military governor had already given up on Shen Chunyu.
Shen Yan gave Qi Heng a look, and Qi Heng immediately smiled and came to the Jiedushi's side, saying, "Lord Wu, let's go together. I happen to be free these two days, so I can investigate with you."
The military governor knew that the Prince of Yan did not trust him, so he nodded and agreed: "Then I thank Vice General Qi. With your help, things will definitely go smoothly."
The military governor spoke through gritted teeth.
