Chapter 39 Presenting Osmanthus Cake
Shen Miaoyan was in a good mood and kept picking osmanthus flowers. She would occasionally sprinkle the osmanthus flowers on Shen Luo and whisper to Shen Luo from time to time.
Xie Yunsheng could not hear clearly what they were saying, but he saw Shen Luo staring at Shen Miaoyan with tenderness in her eyes, walking behind her like an elder looking at her naughty child, cautiously and tenderly.
Everything he saw today strengthened his belief in saving Shen Miaoyan.
He would never let her lose any more.
Shen Miaoyan was lying under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, holding Shen Luo's hand, and whispered: "Nuan Nuan, the Sichuan brocade you got back yesterday is of very good color and is most suitable for your age. I will make it into clothes tomorrow. Whatever pattern you like, I will embroider it for you."
Shen Luo knelt down beside Shen Miaoyan, looked up at the osmanthus tree above her head, looked at the smile on Shen Miaoyan's cheeks, a faint smile flashed in her eyes, and replied: "See you at the slope of the road with the weeping osmanthus flowers, and the fragrance of osmanthus seeds." When you smell it under the moonlight, embroider the sweet-scented osmanthus!"
"Okay." Shen Miaoyan stroked Shen Luo's cheek and smiled fondly: "I know you like simple and elegant colors. My aunt will definitely make this dress well and will never let you down."
Shen Luo gently held Shen Miaoyan's hand and asked softly: "Auntie is a little tired, let me take you to rest!"
"Help me up and I'll make you some sweet-scented osmanthus cake." Shen Miaoyan tapped the tip of Shen Luo's nose and said with a smile, "How could I forget my little greedy cat!"
Shen Luo immediately held her aunt's hand: "Aunt, I have grown up. If outsiders see this, I will be laughed at."
Shen Miaoyan's instant awakening made Shen Luo relax a lot.
Shen Miaoyan immediately stood up and asked domineeringly: "Who dares to laugh at my Nuannuan family?"
"You are the apple of my Shen family's eye. If anyone dares to touch a hair on your face, I will kill them..."
Shen Luo took Shen Miaoyan's hand and reminded softly: "If aunt plays with me again, it will be dark!"
"Then you come with me." Only then did Shen Miaoyan react, grab Shen Luo's hand and walk towards the East Kitchen.
After the two left, Xie Yunsheng sent Hua Jingyao back to refine the medicine, and told him to make the pills a moderate size and to find a way to wrap a layer of icing sugar on the outside so as not to taste bitter.
Hua Jingyao left the Shen Mansion full of resentment, but Xie Yunsheng still stayed in the Shen Mansion and never left...
night
Floating clouds as light as silk are surrounding the bright moon as it rises. The clear brilliance falls on the ground, reflecting a colorful halo, which changes from deep to shallow, suddenly bright and sometimes dark.
Xie Yunsheng stood under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree and stared at the moonlight. His posture was as tall and straight as a pine tree, his aura was as strong as the scorching sun, and his dark eyes were bright and resolute.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Shen Luo came up behind him and asked softly.
After putting her aunt to sleep, Xiao Tao told her that her elder brother was still in the yard that day, so she rushed over immediately.
"How dare I leave without being able to say goodbye to you?" Xie Yunsheng asked softly.
Shen Luo looked at the gentle and elegant young man in front of him, with a trace of struggle in his eyes, but still handed over the cake in his hand: "This is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by my aunt. You can take it back and try it."
She didn't know why she wanted to give him sweet-scented osmanthus cake. She just felt that he must be hungry after waiting for more than an hour, so she should give him something to eat.
"A gentleman never takes away someone's love! Your aunt rarely wakes up and makes you cakes, so you should keep them for yourself!" Xie Yunsheng did not take it, but advised her to keep it.
Shen Luo took his right hand and handed the cake into his hand: "I still have it at home, so don't worry about it."
"Okay!" He held the pastry box tightly and said softly: "By the way, how was the investigation of that case that day?"
"If you need help with anything, please let me know." Xie Yunsheng promised, speaking from the bottom of his heart.
Shen Luo looked at the sincere gaze in Xie Yunsheng's eyes and refused: "It's just a small case that exploits loopholes in the law. It doesn't require too many people."
After saying that, Shen Luo asked: "I have something to ask, what is the conduct of the Young Master of the Yi family?"
"Why are you asking him?" Xie Yunsheng asked back, with a trace of confusion in his dark eyes.
Shen Luo told the truth: "As far as the current situation is concerned, no matter what the cause of the case is? What is the reason? Yi Zishao is innocent. So I want to know everything about Yi Zishao."
Xie Yunsheng held the pastry box, sat on the steps under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, and said softly: "Yi Zishao was born in the Yi family of Nanling. He is the bastard of Yi Jun, the second brother of the current head of the family, Yi Ling."
"Although he is a concubine, he is the eldest son in the family. He is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he is considered a talent. Yi Ling is old and childless, and has no heirs, so he wants to find an heir in Yi Jun's family."
"Yi Zishao is the only one in the Yi family who has achieved fame, and he is also the most valued child of Yi Ling, the head of the Yi family. Such a scandal suddenly came to light, and the Yi family has removed Yi Zishao to maintain the reputation and prestige of the Yi family in Nanling. ."
"You know it in detail." Shen Luo looked at Xie Yunsheng and couldn't help but sigh.
She leaned on the branch of the osmanthus tree and whispered: "Yi Zishao's life experience is too complicated, which makes me have to pay attention to the truth behind this case."
Xie Yunsheng heard Shen Luo sigh and said, "You are suspicious. This case is not simple."
Shen Luo lowered her eyes and looked at Xie Yunsheng, and said: "Liu Yinyin has a feminine appearance, and her pitiful eyes make people feel pity for them. But Yi Zishao is a young master from a well-known family, and he is famous, even if he really treats women If you are tempted, you will never fall in love with a married woman, even if that married woman is beautiful."
"When Xin Zhuiyue told me about all the people involved in this case, I suspected that there was something fishy about this case. Now that you have told me that the victim is very likely to be the head of the Yi family, I can be sure that this case is anything but what it seems. So simple."
"What your Lord means is that Liu Yinyin and Fang Chaozong may also be victims in this case." Xie Yunsheng captured the important information instantly.
Shen Luo nodded and said softly: "I have an intuition that the truth of this case will surprise us."
Seeing Shen Luo's confident look, Xie Yunsheng asked softly: "Have you guessed who the murderer is?"
Shen Luo lowered her eyes and looked at Xie Yunsheng, and said with a smile: "Master Xie is a smart man. I think Master Xie should have guessed part of the truth, right?"
Xie Yunsheng looked at the pastry box in his hand and whispered: "I think what I guessed may not be the whole truth."
He had heard about this case, but he didn't know the details, but he knew who the murderer was.
Shen Luo raised his eyes and looked at the crescent moon in the sky, and whispered: "It's getting late, Mr. Xie, please go back and rest soon!"
"I'll take my leave first." Xie Yunsheng clenched the pastry box in his hand and stood up slowly, nodded slightly, and turned to leave.
When Shen Luo looked at Xie Yunsheng's leaving figure, she felt that his figure was lonely and declining, and she felt distressed for no reason.
Shen Luo didn't understand why she had such emotions. She lightly covered her chest and stood under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, staring at the bright moonlight.
