After my mother read my mind, my whole family rebelled

Chapter 182 Return to Luyuan

The next day, Shen Yuyao found a very quiet teahouse in Shangheji and sat there for nearly an hour.

She asked the waiter to change the tea on the table three times.

The tea cannot get cold.

Bang...

Xu Yunxuan flashed into the private room where Shen Yuyao was sitting, and gently closed the door, "Finally I got away."

Shen Yuyao saw her come in, smiled slightly, poured some tea from the teapot to Xu Yunxuan, picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Xu Yunxuan, saying, "Drink some tea first and then talk slowly. There's no rush."

"Well, I already know what happened in the Duke's Mansion yesterday."

Shen Yuyao nodded.

Xu Yunxuan now leads an organization like Dongchang, so being well-informed is the most basic thing.

Moreover, although Lu Lian and Xiao Qi's identities were exposed and they could only be dealt with by Shen Yuyao, she also knew clearly that these two people would definitely report the situation in the Duke's Mansion to Xu Yunxuan as soon as possible.

Shen Yuyao raised her eyes and looked at Xu Yunxuan.

Today, she was wearing a lake blue blouse and a white gauze skirt, looking like a pretty and charming lady from Beijing.

Shen Yuyao couldn't help but sigh inwardly. With such a beautiful face and graceful figure, if Xu Yunxuan wasn't an expert in disguise, she would have attracted the attention of the Black Dragon Guards long ago.

After Xu Yunxuan sat down, she placed the round fan in her hand on the table, took the cup of tea handed to her by Shen Yuyao, and took a sip gently, "What a good tea!"

The strength and temperature of the tea are just right.

"This is the West Lake Spring Tribute Tea that was just released this year. It is indeed a good tea!" Shen Yuyao also picked up a cup of tea, put it under her nose, and took a deep sniff.

She sighed softly: "When I smell the fragrance of this tea, I realize how quickly time flies."

Xu Yunxuan looked confused, then suddenly burst out laughing, "Haha, Yuyao, I'm not talking about tea, I'm talking about people!"

Shen Yuyao was a little confused, "People?"

Xu Yunxuan said: "Yes, in our world, women who like to play tricks are usually called tea girls."

"And the words and deeds of those tea girls are called tea talk in our world."

Seeing that Shen Yuyao still looked confused, Xu Yunxuan explained patiently.

"So when you said it was really good tea, were you cursing someone? Or was it cursing a woman?"

Shen Yuyao asked, not quite understanding.

"Yes! The person I am scolding is none other than the murderer of the Duke's Mansion yesterday, Lu!"

"She is so teasing!" Xu Yunxuan became more and more excited as she spoke. "The Lu family usually uses poisoning people secretly. Moreover, the poison they use is a slow-acting poison that takes a long time to erode and harm the poisoned person bit by bit."

"I couldn't understand why she suddenly changed her tactics and used poison yesterday."

"While I was thinking hard, I received news from my subordinates. The eunuch that Lu sent to deliver cakes to the Duke's Mansion yesterday was secretly captured by our people on his way back to the palace, and is now locked up in the dungeon."

"I think you should interrogate this little eunuch yourself, maybe you can get some information from him. So I sent out an emergency contact signal early in the morning..."

Shen Yuyao listened carefully to Xu Yunxuan's statement and finally understood the whole story.

It turned out that as soon as Xiao Qi discovered that there was something wrong with the cakes yesterday, he sent an emergency signal to his companions outside the palace. He quietly captured the young eunuch who was still on his way back to the palace and brought him back to Xu Yunxuan's residence.

Shen Yuyao pondered for a moment, "I originally returned to Kyoto quietly..."

Xu Yunxuan said: "It's okay, as long as I disguise you a little, I believe that even if Xia Yu comes, he won't be able to recognize you."

Shen Yuyao looked out the window. It was almost noon. "Let's go and ask. Maybe we can get some information."

After Xu Yunxuan and Shen Yuyao left the teahouse, they went directly to Xu Yunxuan's residence.

When Shen Yuyao got off the carriage, she discovered that Xu Yunxuan's current residence was actually the "Lu Garden" villa that the prince had bought for them many years ago when they were working in the Black Dragon Guards.

"Does this place look familiar to you?" Xu Yunxuan couldn't help feeling a little proud when she saw Shen Yuyao's surprised expression.

"Yunxuan, why did you choose this place as your residence?" When Shen Yuyao originally lived in Luyuan, she particularly liked the quiet and elegant atmosphere of this villa, with its pavilions, towers, gardens and ponds. She even asked craftsmen from Yanjing to imitate it and make some of them.

"Since I came to this world, I have been living in Luyuan. These are the happiest days of my life." Xu Yunxuan said with a smile, "As soon as I returned to the capital, I thought that I must make money to buy this Luyuan. I will give you a surprise when you come back."

Shen Yuyao knew that this villa had an excellent location and a magnificent interior design. For Xu Yunxuan, who had just returned to Kyoto that day, this mansion must have been an unattainable dream.

Unexpectedly, in just less than seven years, Xu Yunxuan had become the owner of "Lu Garden".

Sure enough, we still have to have dreams. What if they come true by accident?

"Yunxuan, you are so thoughtful."

This was the second time Shen Yuyao had said this in less than two days.

She could understand why Xu Yunxuan came to this extremely strange world and why she felt lonely and uneasy from the bottom of her heart at all times.

It was not easy for Xu Yunxuan, a weak woman, to gain a foothold in Kyoto within seven years and develop to where she is today.

Shen Yuyao could imagine with her toes how much difficulty and setbacks Xu Yunxuan had experienced.

There was more pity in her eyes when she looked at Xu Yunxuan.

"Yunxuan, you have worked hard over the years." Shen Yuyao choked up.

"Actually, it's not that hard. After all, our world is much more advanced than yours." Xu Yunxuan raised her head and looked at the sun in the sky.

The sun was so bright that she quickly raised her hands and gently covered her eyes.

"The most difficult time was when I first came through the book. I was completely confused and lost. I was like a fly, wandering around everywhere."

Shen Yuyao also recalled how Xu Yunxuan suddenly turned from a villain into a little fan girl.

Can't help but smile.

"Everything has its limits. Now it's time for you to enjoy the joy of success," Shen Yuyao patted Xu Yunxuan on the shoulder and joked.

"The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!"

"what?"

"Hahaha...you wouldn't understand."

"Wouldn't you understand if I explained it to you?"

"No need to explain! You should go work in the dungeon!"

"..."

Three days later.

News spread from the Duke's Mansion that Madam Shen had died of illness.

Both the Emperor and the Crown Prince expressed their grief, and the Crown Princess Lu even went to the Duke's Mansion to pay her respects in person.

Seven days later, the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion rushed back to the mansion from the border with his family to attend the funeral.

Ten days later, the second son of the Duke's Mansion also returned to Kyoto with his family to attend Madam Shen's funeral.

Fifteen days later, Shen Yuyao and the third and fourth young masters also returned to Kyoto.
