Yun Shen hid the letter and did not expose Dong Ke, nor did he reprimand her.

He just pretended that none of this had happened.

As long as Dong Ke stopped making trouble with him and stayed by his side obediently, he didn't care whether she meant it or not.

There were many unfamiliar faces inside and outside the general's mansion, and neither Liu nor Dong Ke knew anything about it. But Butler Zhou gradually noticed something unusual, and he felt extremely uneasy...

He thought that such an important matter must be reported to his wife no matter what.

Therefore, he wanted to go to Mrs. Liu to report the matter, but Yun Shen blocked his way halfway.

Housekeeper Zhou looked at Yun Shen, who was exuding a cold aura. His legs could not help trembling, and he fell to his knees uncontrollably.

"Big... eldest son."

Yun Shen was wearing a moon-white robe, and the moonlight stretched his shadow very long.

He looked down at Butler Zhou and smiled lightly.

"Where are you going, Butler Zhou?"

Butler Zhou almost didn't dare to raise his head. He only replied in a low voice with a trembling voice: "Old... I have something wrong with you and I want to report it to Madam."

Yun Shen raised his eyebrows and smiled softly: "Oh? What do you want to report to mother? I happen to be going to visit mother. How about I help housekeeper Zhou take the message?"

Butler Zhou's face became extremely pale.

He lowered his head and did not speak.

Yun Shen slowly knelt down, raised his hand and patted Butler Zhou gently on the shoulder: "Butler Zhou, after all, you are considered an old man in our General's Mansion. Over the years, you have worked hard and loyally for our Yun family. We all see your hard work. A while ago, my mother said, Butler Zhou, you are getting old and you should retire and take care of yourself."

Butler Zhou's body suddenly trembled. He raised his head and looked at Yun Shen in disbelief: "My eldest... eldest son, madam, are you going to drive this old slave away?"

Yun Shen sighed and slowly shook his head: "Steward Zhou misunderstood. You are loyal to our General's Mansion and work hard without complaining. How could my mother be willing to drive you away? She just feels that you are old and unable to do some things. That’s why I thought of asking you to step back and take good care of yourself.”

"However, don't worry. Even if you retire, our General's Mansion will not treat you badly. At that time, I will buy you an exquisite house and arrange a few servants and maids to take care of Butler Zhou in your later years. Life. I will definitely let you, Butler Zhou, spend the rest of your life comfortably."

Butler Zhou's expression was extremely ugly. He opened his mouth, wanting to show Yun Shen that he was still in good health and could continue to do his work.

He has been working hard for the General's Mansion all his life. If he were suddenly asked to retire, he would not know how he would live the rest of his life.

However, before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Yun Shen: "Steward Zhou, now the entire General's Mansion is under my control. Although my mother has said that I want you to retire and let you take care of yourself, if you don't If you are willing, I won’t force you.”

Butler Zhou's eyes flashed with joy: "Eldest Young Master, I... I don't want to quit. I still have energy, and I can continue to work for the General's Mansion."

"I have been working hard for half my life. If you asked me to suddenly quit and let me just relax, it would be more cruel than killing me. I have been busy all my life and I can't be idle at all."

Yun Shen pursed his lips and smiled softly.

"I knew that Butler Zhou didn't want to quit. Mother really wanted to decide the rest of your life without asking Butler Zhou's wishes. Well, I'll meet my mother later and talk to her about it. What you mean...if mother knew what you were thinking, she would definitely not force it or go against your wishes."

Butler Zhou felt that he had risen from hell to heaven in an instant.

He kowtowed to Yun Shen with great gratitude: "Old slave, I would like to thank the eldest young master very much."

Yun Shen helped him up with a friendly attitude.

"You're welcome, Butler Zhou, we are all a family...I will naturally take note of your matter. I will go see my mother right away. By the way, you just said that you have something to report to your mother. Why don't you tell me? Let me carry the message for you."

Butler Zhou's eyes flickered and he avoided Yun Shen's gaze.

He hesitated for a long time, and finally shook his head.

"No, I don't have anything important to do. It's okay if I don't report it to the madam. My eldest son, I won't delay your visit to the madam."

After he said that, he made a show of leaving.

Yun Shen stretched out his hand and blocked his way.

He raised his hand and helped Butler Zhou tidy up his clothes.

He said meaningfully to Butler Zhou: "Steward Zhou, how should I choose? I think you should know how to do it. I like people who know the current affairs best. Some things can be passed by turning a blind eye. This It’s good for all of us, don’t you think?”

Butler Zhou was so shocked that his forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat.

He nodded quickly and responded: "I will keep the teachings of the eldest son in mind. Don't worry, eldest son, I know what to do."

Yun Shen nodded with satisfaction: "Well, I believe Butler Zhou is a smart man. There is nothing else to do. Butler Zhou, please step aside."

Butler Zhou raised his sleeves, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and immediately left.

Yun Shen stood on the winding bluestone road, his eyes fixed on the departing figure of Butler Zhou.

He didn't look back until Butler Zhou's figure disappeared.

He straightened his robe, and the next moment a man in gray clothes came out of the darkness.

He knelt down in front of Yun Shen.

While Yun Shen was arranging his robes, he whispered: "Always pay attention to Butler Zhou's movements. If there is anything unusual about him, kill him immediately."

The man in gray clothes responded in a deep voice and immediately disappeared like a ghost.

Not long after, someone sent another secret letter to Yun Shen.

He opened the envelope, looked at it, and then burned the letter to ashes under the candlelight.

The letter written on the letter stated that Princess Nihuang had been safely transferred to a safe location. At the same time, they had just made contact with the Emperor Liang's people.

The two parties agreed to meet at the most prosperous Hibari Tower in Kyoto three days later.

From the beginning, Yun Shen had no intention of personally sending Princess Nihuang out of Kyoto. He knew clearly that Xiao Tingyan had been paying close attention to his whereabouts in the past few days, and there was no way he would take such a risky move.

As long as he got in touch with the Emperor of Liang, he would directly negotiate the terms and hand over Princess Nihuang to the Emperor of Liang.

This is the safest and most likely way for him to win.

He did these things without avoiding Dong Ke at all. Dong Ke sent letters to Xiao Tingyan more than once, but those letters fell into the sea without any response.
