In the study room.

Shen Lu stood by the window with a gloomy expression. When Yicheng pushed King Chu over, he saw it immediately.

"King of Chu! General Yi!"

Shen Lu took two quick steps and stood at the door to greet him.

Chu Junhe nodded lightly, and Yi Cheng gave Shen Lu a big smile.

Shen Lu stretched his neck and looked in the direction of the courtyard entrance.

The butler gave a somewhat embarrassing explanation:

"When I went to invite King Liang, I didn't see anyone."

The housekeeper didn't dare to mention a word about the unusual noises he heard!

He had to risk his life to say something like that.

Shen Lu waved his hand:

"Go and stand guard at the gate of the courtyard. Since you haven't found Prince Liang, don't bother him anymore."

The implication is that the housekeeper has to guard the courtyard door and no one is allowed in.

The butler nodded cautiously:

"yes."

Shen Lu turned around and closed the study door.

Chu Junhe frowned, but didn't say anything.

"King Chu... I also ask King Chu to help me."

Shen Lu bowed to Chu Junhe without saying anything.

Yicheng was dumbfounded. What kind of operation is this?

What stimulated Duke Shen?

"The Duke just said it doesn't matter."

Chu Junhe didn't know why. He didn't receive any unfavorable information about Shen Lu before coming back. He didn't know how far Shen Lu was going with this.

"In this case, I will tell you directly!"

Shen Lu cleared his throat, lowered his voice and said:

"To be honest with the King of Chu, I have recently been dealing with the Meng family's embezzlement of money from Duke Mo's government.

However, no matter how the official visited, things were about to be done at the last minute.

As a result, I don’t know what happened, but all the officials who had promised to help recover the Meng family’s property changed their tune overnight.”

Shen Lu was so troubled that he secretly investigated for several days, but he didn't have any clue.

According to what Shen Yunhe said before, if you can get these properties of Meng's family into your hands, money will make money.

When the time comes, what will be brought back is not just the amount that Meng Shi was greedy for?

"Oh? Is this still the case?"

Chu Junhe frowned and glanced at Yi Cheng, but the latter spread his hands towards him.

Yicheng didn't understand either. Logically speaking, his sister-in-law had indeed pointed out a clear path to Duke Shen.

It’s not difficult to get it done, so why is this happening?

"Yes, after much thought, Xiaguan found that only the King of Chu can help."

Although Shen Lu was only a military attache, he was not completely brainless.

There must be a reason why the emperor re-appointed King Chu. King Chu personally handled so many difficult matters in northern Xinjiang.

This matter in the Duke's Mansion was very difficult for him.

but,

For the King of Chu, it was just a trivial matter.

"The southern Xinjiang envoy came to visit in advance, and I can't get away.

Once the affairs of the mission have settled down, I will personally investigate."

Chu Junhe's voice was calm. On the surface, he seemed to agree, but he did not say when he would start the investigation.

Although Shen Lu was anxious, he also knew that the Southern Xinjiang mission was the most difficult matter.

Of course, the emperor would leave such important matters to the King of Chu.

"That's natural. The King of Chu can come forward on behalf of the official. If the official asks for it as soon as possible, wouldn't it be too ungrateful?"

The solemn expression on Shen Lu's face immediately disappeared.

King Chu agreed to help, and he could feel at ease.

"The King of Chu took the trouble to come to the palace. Please stay and have a meal before leaving."

Seeing that it was time for dinner, Shen Lu kindly invited Chu Junhe and Yicheng to stay and have a home-cooked meal together.

Chu Junhe was originally going to leave, but he still had unfinished business.

However, when he thought that Chu Jingyue was still there, he stayed again.

While walking all the way to the dining room, Chu Junhe was still thinking that after dinner, he would have to find a reason to take Shen Yunhe away.

Anyway, Chu Jingyue couldn't be given the chance to get along with Shen Yunhe.

Shen Yunhe was currently nestling on the couch, listening to his mother's instructions one after another.

Her ears were almost calloused, but she was in a good mood.

In her previous life, she was lonely and helpless, and she didn't have a mother who would nag her all day long, teaching her how to get along with her husband...

"Yunhe, mother doesn't want to interfere with you and King Chu. It's just that... King Chu has a good temper, and you can't always use it to bully him."

Su Huairou looked at Shen Yunhe and shook her head helplessly.

Shen Yunhe:???

"Mother, why did I bully Chu Junhe?"

"Look, you haven't been bullied yet? He is the King of Chu and your fiancé. How can you call him by his first name?"

Su Huairou sighed. She had mentioned before that the status of King Chu was unusual.

Is there anyone like Yun He who keeps his husband's name on his lips all the time?

It was also the King of Chu who favored him, otherwise Shen Yunhe would have been slapped every now and then...

Shen Yunhe:......

"Isn't the name taboo just for calling him? If I were the king of Chu all day long, wouldn't it be unfair to call him a prince?

Only by calling each other by our first names can we prove that our relationship is close and our relationship is good..."

Shen Yunhe really can't understand the hierarchical concept of this era.

We are both husband and wife, but we can't even call each other by our first names. Are we still husband and wife?

"You! It is the King of Chu who dotes on you, and he really dotes on you to the point of being lawless!

Forget it, why were you so presumptuous in front of the Queen Mother just now?"

Su Huairou was really on tenterhooks today. Who would have thought that the woman Yun He came in on his arm was actually the Queen Mother!

Shen Yunhe:!!!

Oh my God! How could she be so presumptuous?

"Mother...I surrender."

Shen Yunhe climbed up and raised his hands high.

"I must obey the rules!"

Seeing that Shen Yunhe had taken her words seriously, Su Huairou smiled again.

outside,

A servant came to invite the two of them to the dining room.

Shen Yunhe then supported Su Huairou and walked to the dining room.

When passing by Shen Qingxi's courtyard, he happened to see Chu Jingyue coming out.

Shen Yunhe frowned in disgust.

I didn't look at the almanac when I went out, so why did I encounter this bad luck?

Su Huairou pulled Shen Yunhe to face Chu Jingyue. Chu Jingyue nodded, but his eyes fell on Shen Yunhe.

Chu Jingyue had just finished his work, and there was still a trace of blush on his face. In addition, he looked handsome, which added a touch of charm.

Chu Junhe originally followed Shen Lu to the dining room. When he was about to reach the backyard, he asked Yi Cheng to turn around and pick up Shen Yunhe.
