"Looks familiar? Yes. Do I know the woman above? But I seem to have never seen anyone of her age beside my brother. If it is true, I am the only one."

At this point, Shen Yuan suddenly understood why there was no portrait of the woman in the album between the ages of eleven and thirteen.

In the past two years, wasn't she in the stage of losing her memory and recuperating in a hospital?

As Gao Wei just said, when Shen Xuan looked at the woman in the portrait, it was like looking at the expression of someone who pleased him.

Shen Yuan's brain began to buzz, a little unbelievable.

"Chen Xuan, you."

She didn't call him brother again, and it was rare for her to lose her composure in front of him.

Shen Xuan did not explain, but just took back the picture album from her hand and said in a calm tone: "Yuan'er doesn't have to feel pressure. In fact, I never thought of saying this openly or even doing it well at the beginning. Prepare to take it to the grave."

No matter how Pei Zhaoxue treated Shen Yuan, everyone who knew about their marriage at that time said that apart from some problems regarding their origins, the two were a match made in heaven.

Shen Yuan himself was obsessed with Pei Zhaoxue, so he thought that he would never have another chance, so he kept his true thoughts suppressed.

But I never thought that one day I would actually hear her say that she no longer cared about Pei Zhaoxue and even wanted to divorce him.

Without Pei Zhaoxue, he could indeed fight, but he might not be able to get a good result.

He looked at Shen Yuan's extremely complicated eyes and sighed:

"I will tell you this this time out of various accidents, but since I have already said it, there is no need for me to hide it. Yuan'er, if you think I am so disgusting, just pretend that you don't know anything today. I I will calm down my emotions in the future and won’t cause you any trouble.”

Even if they are not related by blood, they have been together for so long in the name of adopted brothers and sisters. Shen Yuan just can't accept his sudden appearance, and he thinks he can bear it.

But no matter what, he gave it a try today. Once he tried it, he would not have any regrets, even if the result was not what he expected.

This matter was no small matter. Shen Yuan didn't know how to reply to Shen Xuan for a while, so she told him to let her think about it carefully.

She didn't mean that she wouldn't find anyone else after she reconciled with Pei Zhaoxue, but now she really didn't have the intention to fall in love.

The things in the shops are the same, and the occupations in Honglu Temple are the same.

The same goes for the murderer who caused her tragic death in her previous life.

Things were piling up, and she was already at her wits end, and she really didn't have the extra energy to deal with it anymore.

But this person happened to be Shen Xuan.

The sky outside is getting darker and darker.

During dinner, when the two elders of the Shen family learned that Shen Yuan had reconciled with Pei Zhaoxue, their first reactions were in disbelief.

They asked Shen Yuan what the reason was, but she denied that there was someone outside Pei Zhaoxue, or that he had done something extraordinary.

"No, it's just that we found that we couldn't get along with each other after marriage. If we continue to be bound like this, it would be a kind of torture for each other, so we simply divorced."

The girl was sitting in a brightly lit position, with a clear expression on her face.

Gao Wei is a woman with a delicate mind. She noticed that her daughter was only relieved when she talked about this matter, without any resentment or regret. She guessed that Shen Yuan was not lying.

Although Father Shen regretted that the couple had not even been married for a year, seeing that Shen Yuan was happy with it, he didn't say much. He just told her that a good man is hard to find, and it is inevitable to experience some twists and turns along the way.

To clarify the matter, Shen Yuan will stay here for two more days because he still has to deal with the new turmoil in the garment shop in Qingzhou. During the past two days, her feet could hardly touch the ground during the day, and she went out in the morning fog. When she came back, it was already dark, and her face was full of exhaustion.

Shen Xuan noticed this, and when she was about to leave Qingzhou and return to the capital, he told her that if she still hadn't decided yet, there was no need to worry. He had waited for so long, and it was only a day or two.

"Okay, I'll keep it for now. After I've taken care of all the chores and figured out how to respond, I'll send someone to deliver a letter to you, brother."

Shen Yuan's mind was in a mess. Before she left the house, she received a reply from Cui Shao, who gave her a list of many women. She had to be busy checking these people, and she was really overwhelmed.

After giving Shen Xuan an apologetic look, he got on the carriage and never looked back.

When Shen Xuan saw her working so hard, he naturally had no reason to relax.

After pressing down the sapling, which he didn't know whether it would bear bitter or sweet fruits, he turned around and headed in the opposite direction.

On the first day of April, when the grass is growing and the orioles are flying, Shen Yuan finally identified the most likely candidate through joint verification with Cui Shao.

Cui Shao was also promoted again during this period, and even directly changed a eunuch department.

Because he was alert, smart and capable, he was moved from the initial position of Internal Official Supervisor to the Secretary of Li Supervisor, and then to the Shaocheng of the Secretary of Li Supervisor.

Naturally, the information that can be obtained from this position is much more than before.

He and Shen Yuan agreed to meet at a teahouse in the capital, and both of them looked serious after deducing this candidate.

"Are you sure it's really this person?" Shen Yuan had a headache. He never expected that it would be such a candidate who was neither in the camp of the Queen Mother nor the camp of the emperor.

Cui Shao: "The only possibility is that it is her. Among the secret letters you gave me, several of them are on royal paper, and the special texture on the paper is only found in the Queen Mother's palace. But I have investigated and found out that the Queen Mother None of the letters sent were destined for Tingzhou, so it is only possible that someone else stole the letter paper."

"And the only one who had this opportunity to get the letter paper without being discovered is Nanny Hua, who is always valued by the Queen Mother."

The consequences of misuse of letter paper are not small, so the Queen Mother will naturally instruct her subordinates to keep a close eye on this paper.

According to the information Cui Shao investigated, Nanny Hua was the one who took orders to do things.

"I checked this Aunt Hua before. Apparently she is from the Queen Mother, but in fact she has another master behind her. But I have never been able to find out who that person is." Shen Yuan sighed and handed the list to the candle to burn. Got clean.

"Master.?" Cui Shao was reminded by Shen Yuan and suddenly remembered a more crucial thing.

"I remembered, Xiao Yuan'er, you might ask for leave from Honglu Temple and follow me to a place? If nothing unexpected happens, the answer can be revealed there."

Honglu Temple has not been so busy recently, so Shen Yuan is naturally free.

After agreeing to him, she met him at the gate of the capital three days later and got into the same carriage.

The destination was far away, and it would take a whole day and night to reach it by carriage, so Cui Shao brought the matter to the surface that had been delayed for a long time.

"Do you still remember what I told you when you returned to Tingzhou?"

Shen Yuan: I have a headache.
