After Crossing, I Marked the Empress

Chapter 195: The Lady Is Deserting

On a midsummer night, it is very hot outside.

The whole world seemed to have been turned into a sauna, and people would sweat on their foreheads when they stood still.

And the woman named Yanlin has a calming ability herself.

When she was having a conversation with Shen Han, everyone around her was no longer as impetuous as before.

After watching Yanlin, Shen Han and others enter the old house, the young and middle-aged people led by the big golden chain Du Hao gathered together and exchanged gossip.

“What’s the matter? Did you hear what Yu Yu said just now?”

“Why can’t you hear it! Damn, you don’t know, this is an old thing.”

“The alha surnamed Tang came to us from the Free Federation. I can’t remember whether he was on a business trip or a tourist trip. Aunt Lin liked her so much that she almost fell out with her family.”

“Really? Is Uncle Sun Yu Yu’s pro-old man?”

As soon as the last words came out, the person who spoke was slapped on the head by his companion.

“Treasure! Maybe it’s not! Yu Yu is angry because Aunt Lin has never forgotten that surnamed Tang.”

“Do you know why Aunt Lin doesn’t agree to the demolition? It’s just that she is afraid that she will move to another place, and one day the surnamed Tang will come to Baiguang City and can’t find her.”

Shen Han, who had entered the house, naturally couldn’t hear the men’s discussions outside the house.

At this moment, she is curiously looking at the layout of the house.

The furnishings in the house are not as old as they look from the outside, they are antique, like a small pure land between the downtown areas.

To Shen Han’s surprise, there was actually a medicinal field in this house.

“That’s where she transplanted the herbs. I think it’s a pity that it was destroyed, so I kept it.”

Yanlin took Shen Han through the courtyard and went straight to the innermost living room.

She didn’t speak many words, but two of the three sentences were related to Tang language.

Shen Han was uneasy in his heart, and always felt that he knew a lot of things that he should not know.

But she remained calm on her face, trying her best to maintain the obedience that a junior should be.

When approaching the living room, Fang Yue stopped.

She knew that she was not suitable to participate in the later discussions, so she stayed in the yard before being cleared.

And Sun Yu obviously couldn’t be as self-conscious as Fang Yue.

With his unhappiness at Shen Han’s visit on his face, he stepped over the threshold before the other party.

However, before he could settle down, someone grabbed the back collar of his shirt.

Yanlin’s voice came faintly: “Xiaoyu, have you finished your homework?”

“When you’re done, go back to your room and do the review questions again.”

Hearing this, Sun Yu’s head, which had been held high a second ago, slumped down at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He turned around in silence, glared at Shen Han, and obediently went back to the room to do the exercises.

After coming to the living room, Shen Han did not continue to be polite, and directly inquired about the information about the auction and Longjiao Lingshen.

Talking about this, Yan Lin’s expression became a little solemn.

She raised her eyebrows and said, “When I first received the auction information of Longjiao Lingshen, I planned to use all my strength to buy it privately.”

“What’s strange is that the auctioneer has never let go. There are both government intervention and the wrestling of various forces, which is difficult to penetrate.”

At this point, she looked at Shen Han apologetically: “If you want to get that ginseng, I’m afraid you can only compete with others at the auction.”

After some conversation, Shen Han had a more detailed understanding of the situation he was about to face.

If she can bid fairly and justly, she is not worried at all.

After all, even if the medicinal material was pushed to a sky-high price, it would not be a problem for his wife at all.

What worries her is what will happen to this auction.

For now, everything is on track.

But it is often this kind of invisible thing. Once a problem occurs, it will be difficult to make the most correct response in the shortest time.

Of course, Shen Han would not directly express these concerns to Yanlin.

Because it doesn’t solve the problem at hand.

Another point is that this one should be Gu Qianqiu’s number one rival in love has not run away.

Although Shen Han felt that the other person was very good, he did not dare to get too close to him, so as not to offend the two queens of the family at the same time, and the days to come would be miserable!

After sitting for a while, Shen Han got up and prepared to leave.

“Please wait.” After Yanlin was silent for a while, she still asked the question she really wanted to know, “Is she okay now?”

Shen Hanxin said, “Mr. Tang is so good, she’s so spoiled by the former empress that she’s almost out of bounds!

But this kind of remark was a bit hurtful to that Aunt Lin.

So, Shen Han replied impartially: “Mr. Tang is fine, in good health, and takes care of her herbs when she has nothing to do on weekdays.”

Yanlin looked up at the gentle and polite young woman in front of her.

From the other party’s demeanor, she already got the answer she already had in her heart.

Yes, that person is with her most obsessed wife of the empress, and now has a son-in-law who trusts so much, how can it be bad?

After answering the other party’s question, Shen Han couldn’t hold back his curiosity and asked in a low voice, “Aunt Lin, what is your relationship with Teacher Tang?”

Yanlin smiled and shook her head: “Don’t think too much, we are just old friends with a lifelong friendship.”

After the two left each other’s contact information, Shen Han took Fang Yue away.

As soon as she returned to the hotel where she was staying, she immediately took out her encrypted mobile phone and couldn’t wait to send a message to Gu Junwan.

【Wife! Outside the nickname! 】

【Did you make it? I went to see a friend of Teacher Tang today, and the situation was so simple! Do you want to know the details? 】

Two paragraphs of text were followed by an emoji that said ‘Tiger Shocked’.

Gu Junwan’s reply came quickly and directly: [Is it Yanlin? 】

Seeing these four words, Shen Han’s eyes bulged out immediately.

【Eh? Wife, do you know? 】

[Look at this mess, I thought Teacher Tang secretly told me alone. 】

When receiving the message from Shen Han, Gu Junwan was still participating in a video conference in the hotel suite.

The participants are reporting their work progress one by one. When they encounter problems that cannot be overcome temporarily, they only need a few words from the lady.

Gu Junwan reached out and turned off the microphone on her side. While listening to her subordinate’s report, she continued to reply to her alha.

[Teacher Tang really only told you secretly, I will know, it was my mother who told me. 】

[Otherwise, do you think that Teacher Tang was not allowed to participate in this operation, just because her mother was worried that she would be injured? 】

Shen Han: [Sit up startled in a dying dream, the clown is actually me! 】

Looking at the text sent by her alha, Gu Junwan was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn’t help laughing softly.

Seeing this scene, several officials who were participating in the video conference were all surprised.

The person who is reporting is even more tongue-tied, and even his thinking is a little incoherent.

When Gu Junwan closed the microphone and picked up the mobile phone to read, the officials thought that the other party was dealing with something urgent.

Now it looks like the lady is not talking about work with the person on the other end of the phone!

The female gentleman actually deserts during working hours? This is something officials have never dared to think about before.

However, such a lady does not make people feel loose.

On the contrary, with this little episode, the officials suddenly felt that there was a lot of humanity in the lady, which was good.

Feeling that her current state had an impact on the participants, Gu Junwan was not going to continue chatting with Shen Han.

She first sent a cute and adorable sorry emoji, and then started replying.

[I’m still in a meeting, and I’ll make a video call to you later. 】

【Is your hotel convenient for pick-up? I remember that you two lived in a standard room. 】

Shen Han replied in seconds: [Yes! We booked a business room, and I will go to the separate living room to pick me up later. 】

At the end, she added: [Wife, go get busy, I’ll wait for you. 】

After putting down her personal mobile phone, Gu Junwan cut into the meeting almost seamlessly, and pointed out two mistakes that the reporting officer had made previously due to the lag.

As a result, several officials did not dare to let their thoughts fly.

Concentrate on each and return your attention to the current work report.

After the meeting, Xu Zhao walked in with freshly squeezed juice.

Gu Junwan motioned her assistant to sit down, and after taking the juice handed over by the other party, she immediately asked, “Can the identities of the members of the delegation where Takeda Jianye belong to be verified?”

“Where did they settle down after they arrived at the border city of the Jiying Empire? What kind of actions did they take?”

Xu Zhao reported one by one: “There are 25 members of the delegation, and the top leader is a cabinet minister named Beiyuan Cheng, who belongs to the faction of the Prime Minister of the Ying Kingdom.”

“The hotel where the delegation was staying was not too far from us. They acted regularly and stayed in the hotel most of the time. However, because they had booked the floor of the hotel, it was difficult for our people to conduct a detailed investigation.”

After listening to her assistant’s words, Gu Junwan didn’t say anything for a while.

His beautiful and delicate eyebrows frowned slightly, his back leaned lightly between the chairs, and his entire body remained motionless.

Xu Zhao knew that his daughter-in-law was reviewing all kinds of information in her mind.

She deliberately slowed down her breathing, for fear of making a noise that would affect the other party’s thinking.

Gu Junwan’s golden eyes landed in the void with little focus, as if looking at her opponent through the void.

The light in the room was very soft, but the light reflected in her pupils was particularly sharp.

This absolutely quiet state lasted for a full ten minutes.

At a certain moment, Gu Junwan retracted her gaze.

She unscrewed the cap of the pen and drew a simple analysis diagram on the paper spread out on the table.

“Takeda Jianye has always been cautiously hiding in his house after returning to Ying Kingdom. This time he was suddenly dispatched here. He must have an important task, and that task must be his.”

“He’s good at making noises. Maybe the cabinet minister in the hotel is just to attract attention. When everyone’s eyes are on the cabinet minister, Takeda Jianye will become a shadow that disappears from the spotlight.”

Speaking of this, Gu Junwan drew a circle on the paper, enclosing the hotel where the Yingguo delegation was located, and then continued: “I suspect that Takeda Jianye may not be here anymore.”

“Let the intelligence personnel carry out the ‘Knock on the Mountain and Shake the Tiger’ operation tonight, the cabinet minister ignores it, and focuses on confirming whether there is any trace of Takeda Jianye in the delegation!”
