Reborn as a Sickly Child: The Emperor's Beloved

In the evening, Lihua Villa.

Shen Yanyan was lying on a recliner under the pear tree in a scarlet dress. She was not wearing any makeup, and her long hair was naturally spread out, covering the entire back of the chair. A breeze blew, and the flower petals fluttered down on the woman's body and fell to the ground. Her face was stunningly beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

The woman on the recliner was holding a newly published script in one hand and reading it with relish, while in the other hand she picked up some freshly picked strawberries and grapes from the yard. Her face was filled with satisfaction, and a lifelike picture of a beauty appeared in front of Xia Zhu.

Even though I was with the young lady every day, I was occasionally shocked by her stunning beauty. No wonder the young lady wore a veil every day when she went out. Such a face would make many people secretly suspicious and cause trouble for the young lady.

Xia Zhu approached, "Miss, Nanny Li is here with dinner. Do you want to eat in the room or here?"

Shen Yanyan was absorbed in reading the storybook and answered casually, "Just put it on the stone table next to us and eat outside."

"Yes, I'll go tell them," Xia Zhu said as she walked out. When she got to the villa, she asked Li Ma and the maids to deliver the meal to the villa.

After delivering dinner, everyone walked down the path and left the villa.

The villa is located on a small hill on the left side of the villa, very close to the villa. A small path connects the villa and the villa.

Shen Yanyan designed it herself and hired a Jiangnan master to build it. She had learned sketching in her previous life, so she could probably draw a blueprint. Most of the area was planted with flowers and plants. The overall style looked like an ordinary farmhouse. She spent a lot of money to hire many masters to build the house in half a year. She used three bedrooms and two living rooms as a reference. Most of the furniture inside was also largely modeled after modern homes. It was only because her mother was rich and had many businesses that she could build as much as she wanted. Otherwise, it would be difficult to customize such complete and novel furniture even if she paid a lot of money.

Therefore, generally no one could enter the villa without her permission, except for the two maids who came to clean it every day.

After cleaning, she had to go back to the villa and could not stay in the villa. Usually, only she and Xia Zhu were in the villa. Others could not enter the villa without her permission.

Shen Yanyan put down the script in her hand and sat down at the table to eat the cabbage she had picked during the day. It was indeed fresh and sweet, and it tasted great when stir-fried with lard and garlic.

After dinner, she felt it was a bit cold outside, so she asked Xia Zhu to collect the dishes and wash them in the small kitchen outside. She pulled the recliner back under the eaves with one hand.

It was already dark outside. After entering the room, she still lay on the sofa that had been built at great expense, and read the conversation book in the light of oil lamps and candles. Then she went back to the bathroom to take a hot bath and returned to the bedroom. After a busy day, she fell asleep after lying on the bed for a while.

In the morning, Shen Yanyan woke up very early. She got up early every day to practice in the Divine Doctor Valley. It has become a habit over the years. The air outside the city is very good. She likes to take a walk outside the villa every day after getting up.

This area is in a great location and is close to Yangzhou city. The wealthy families in Yangzhou like to build villas and villas here. Each family has their own villa on a small hill, which are far apart from each other so they don't disturb each other. After all, everyone wants to have some peace and quiet, so they build villas outside.

Shen Yanyan likes to practice martial arts outside the villa every day, and she flies very far every time, so she is very familiar with the situation here.

It is said that the villa closest to hers is the villa of the Wu family, a wealthy businessman in Yangzhou City. Only servants live in the villa all year round.

Today looks a little different. There are horse-drawn carriages for purchasing supplies parked at the door early in the morning. Usually, servants will go to the city to buy some precious things only when the master comes to the farm. Otherwise, the carriages on the farm usually don't go out. After all, it is quite close to Yangzhou City, and riding a horse is enough to go out to deliver news. There are three full carriages. How long will this person live here? Shen Yanyan, dressed in men's clothes, leaned against a big tree, holding a dogtail grass in her mouth, thought to herself.

She was thinking about flying down the mountain and preparing to walk back. She might as well take a look at what was going on on the avenue when passing by. She was not bored, she was just curious. She often came here and had never seen anyone living in this village. It was really strange.

When I got closer, I saw one of the carriages. It looked familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it before. Shen Yanyan walked forward in confusion, and suddenly stopped.

She remembered, isn't this the carriage of the handsome guy from yesterday? She was deeply impressed by the flashy red curtains on the carriage. Her eyes lit up immediately!

Does that mean that the handsome guy from yesterday also lives here? Hahaha, what a fate.

She immediately stepped back and walked towards the carriage, and saw a guard walking out of the door. Wasn't that the young man who gave her the banknote yesterday?

Shen Yanyan walked up and greeted him, "Brother, what a coincidence, you also live here." Shen Yanyan looked at An Liu and waved the fan in her hand.

An Liu looked at the handsome young man in front of him with a confused look on his face. Who was this person? How come he didn't know that he knew such a handsome young man!

"Young master, do you know me?" An Liu asked with a fist salute!

"Oh, yesterday on the official road, my maid and I saved your companions. I don't remember it!" Shen Yanyan put away the fan and said!

An Liu looked at the person in front of him in shock. The girl from yesterday had her face covered, but her eyes were very beautiful. After a closer look and listening to her voice, he realized that it was indeed the girl from yesterday. She was wearing men's clothes, so he really couldn't tell.

An Liu was shocked and a little alert. How could it be such a coincidence? She just saved their people yesterday, and he met her here today. Could this person be a spy sent from there, deliberately approaching the master? However, the master's departure from the palace was top secret, and there was also a substitute in the capital who had been appearing in the master's place, so the news should not leak out.

Shen Yanyan saw his alert face, and thought of his master's extraordinary temperament, thinking that he must have some status. She thought he must be overthinking, thinking that she approached him deliberately. After all, it was really a coincidence, saving someone and meeting by chance.

"Oh, what a coincidence, my farm is not far ahead. I was planning to stay there for a few days yesterday. I happened to see you when I was strolling this morning. Isn't it a coincidence?" Shen Yanyan explained. She really didn't follow them on purpose.

"By the way, how is your companion? Is he feeling better?" Shen Yanyan asked again! It's over. She felt that she was being deliberate in asking so many questions, but for the handsome guy, she really tried her best.

"It's okay now, I just need to rest for a few days. Thank you for your concern, young lady," An Liu said politely!

"Oh, that's good. I have a lot of medicine. If you need any recuperation medicine or something, come find me at the Lihua Villa in front. I live over there." Shen Yanyan pointed to the other side of the mountain.

After saying this, he walked away, fanning himself.

It's better to know when to stop, otherwise you might scare others. It would be bad if they really think she has some purpose. Although she really does have a purpose, hahahaha.

In the east courtyard of the Wu family's villa, An Liu reported what had just happened to Xiao Jingzhan.

The man sitting in the main seat was wearing a black robe that was exquisitely made and looked very noble.

The handsome young man sitting at the bottom was wearing a blue shirt embroidered with exquisite green bamboo. He shook the fan in his hand and said, "I heard that the villa in front seems to belong to the Ji family. In the early years, the eldest daughter of the Ji family married the governor of Yangzhou, and all the shops and villas of the Ji family in Yangzhou were given to the eldest daughter as a dowry, so it should be a member of the Shen family."

"Young ladies, the eldest and second daughters of the Shen family are both engaged, and the wedding date of the eldest daughter of the Shen family and the Wang family is approaching, so they will not leave the house at this time. The second daughter of the Shen family has been engaged since she was a child. Last night, I heard Li Lin say that he was going to the Shen Mansion to deliver something. I don't think it was her. It should be the third daughter of the Shen family, who is frail and sick and has been raised on the farm all year round." Wu Qingfeng analyzed clearly.

Wu Qingfeng is the youngest son of Wu Jiandao, the richest man in Yangzhou. All the members of the Wu family are engaged in business, but the youngest son of the Wu family has only loved poetry and books since he was a child. He passed the imperial examination at the age of fifteen and became famous at a young age. Everyone said he was a child prodigy.

An Liu's mouth twitched. She was frail and sickly. He saw that Miss Shen was in good health, with a rosy complexion, a tight suit, and looked very energetic. Moreover, she was strolling alone in the woods early in the morning. Was she really frail and sickly?

Xiao Jingzhan raised his eyes to look at Wu Qingfeng and said, "Shen family, Shen Hongwen's third brother?"

"Yes, it's the third child of the Shen family, the current governor of Yangzhou. His wife is the eldest daughter of the Ji family, the richest family in Jiangnan."

"I heard that her little daughter was born weak. Because the second son of the Ji family loved traveling in his early years, he had some interactions with the Divine Doctor Valley. Later, the Shen family sent the newborn Shen Yanyan to the Divine Doctor Valley for recuperation. She was gone for more than ten years. She just returned to Yangzhou two years ago. I occasionally saw her at banquets. I heard that she looked very weak and would cough uncontrollably after walking a few steps. Later, she simply stopped participating in any banquets in Yangzhou City. In order to recuperate, she often lived in a villa outside the city." Wu Qingfeng continued to answer!

"Shen Yanyan, who is frail and sickly, met us by chance in the Valley of Divine Doctors. It's quite interesting." Xiao Jingzhan's lips curled slightly, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"If you 'accidentally' meet Miss Shen tomorrow, please ask her to come in and have a seat." Xiao Jingzhan emphasized the word 'accidentally', with a playful look on his face!

An Liu was a little confused. How did the master know whether he would come tomorrow?

Wu Qingfeng glanced at the man at the top and said in surprise, "Your Majesty, we still don't know what the Third Miss of the Shen family is here for. If you contact her rashly, if the news about you in Yangzhou leaks out, it will be detrimental to your trip!"

"It doesn't matter. Since she has come to my house, I have to see what she wants to do."

"An Liu, investigate the third young lady of the Shen family thoroughly, no matter how big or small!" Xiao Jingzhan ordered!

"Yes," An Liu clasped his hands and stepped back.

Xiao Jingzhan turned the ring on his hand and said, "Is there any news from the Grand Tutor?"

"It appeared in Qingtang Town half a month ago, but it had left when our people arrived. The Grand Tutor has opened a private school there, so I think he will return to Qingtang Town. The villa is not far from Qingtang Town, and I have left people there who can go to Qingtang Town immediately when there is any news. In addition, news has come from Jinling that the Prime Minister's people have already contacted Prince Wu's Mansion, and the fox is finally about to show its tail." Wu Qingfeng replied seriously.

"Well, have people keep a close eye on Jinling and make sure to find real evidence. As for the Grand Tutor, send more people over there and have them report back immediately when they get any news." Xiao Jingzhan said after understanding.

"it is good."
