Chapter 33

Liu Quan returned from his investigation.

He explained the reason to He Shen in detail.

After a long while, He Shen's face darkened. "Do I look like an elder who loves Daiyu?"

Liu Quan shook his head.

Then he nodded.

He Shen cast a sidelong glance at him. "What do you mean?"

Liu Quan smiled and said, "Master's usual behavior is indeed like this … but I know that Master doesn't think so."

He Shen was slightly speechless.

He had never thought of himself as an uncle.

It was just that he had the intention to protect Daiyu from the beginning.

He Shen put away his thoughts for the time being.

He said in a low voice, "Lin An Bo's mansion is really good at scheming."

He worked for Qianlong.

He was tough. Anyone in the capital who had a title but no real power had to be afraid of him.

Lin An Bo's mansion was smart.

Thinking of the only girl in the mansion a few days ago,

He Shen had somehow offended him.

At this time, the eldest son in their mansion had thoughts about Miss Lin.

They knew that Miss Lin's father was the Yangzhou Salt Patrol Imperial Censor, and her mother was from Rongguo Province.

They also knew that Assistant Minister He and Imperial Censor Lin were friends in their early years.

He doted on Miss Lin very much and was really close to her like an uncle.

There was no fault in this family.

Their son liked her.

What a coincidence. If he married into the Lin family.

He could also curry favor with Assistant Minister.

Mrs. Lin An Bo made the decision. She thickened her skin and asked for an imperial edict to come and talk about marriage.

To show that she valued it.

She wanted to let Assistant Minister He know.

He would also think that they did things properly.

… Properly?

Properly my ass.

He Shen's face darkened.

Liu Quan carefully sized up He Shen's expression.

He said thoughtfully, "What does Master think?"

"What do you think …" He Shen repeated in a low voice. His calm tone suddenly changed. "Of course I won't let him succeed."

Liu Quan said in surprise, "Although Lin An Bo's mansion is somewhat scheming, Lin An Bo's eldest son has always had a good reputation in the capital.

Getting married to Miss Lin wasn't a bad idea.

Moreover, what if Miss Lin liked him?

If Master were to interfere, I'm afraid that Imperial Censor Lin would be unhappy. "

He Shen looked at him coldly.

Liu Quan added, "Moreover, with Master here, this kind of person will be extremely careful with Miss Lin and won't dare to offend her in the slightest.

In such a family, it's the most suitable. "

"Suitable for what?"

He Shen sneered coldly, "Lin An Bo's eldest son is a coward. Just by looking at him, I know he won't have much ability in the future."

Liu Quan shook his head helplessly and said, "This means that the master doesn't know his daughter's thoughts."

"To a woman, no matter how outstanding her husband is, it's just a bonus.

Was he considerate and doting on her? Was he able to bear the responsibility of being her husband?

This is the most important thing. "

He Shen choked.

But …

But that wouldn't do either.

What kind of person was Daiyu?

How could she be worthy of an ordinary husband?

"Master isn't Miss Lin's father. Perhaps Miss Lin's father also thinks that Lin An Bo is suitable?"

"That Lin Ruhai is not only naive, but also blind and deaf."

Liu Quan: "…"

"Then who does Master think is worthy of Miss Lin?"

He Shen really went through all the young talents in the capital city in his mind.

"Master?"

"… No." He Shen's expression was a little ugly. "You can't even compare to me."

Liu Quan looked like he was about to cry. "Master, not everyone can compare to you."

He Shen was silent.

Liu Quan said again, "Is Imperial Censor Lin going back to Yangzhou in two days?"

"Yes. If the local officials have nothing else to do, they can't stay in the capital.

Besides, he's worried about the affairs in Yangzhou, so he has to go back as soon as possible. "

Speaking till here, He Shen suddenly paused, "… Then the Count of Lin An's mansion wants to propose marriage to Lin Ruhai before he returns to Yangzhou?"

Liu Quan thought for a moment and said, "That's very likely."

He Shen frowned. "Prepare a sedan chair. We're going to Rongguo Province."

Liu Quan glanced outside. "Master, it's already a quarter to five."

If they went to Rongguo Province at this time, they would probably scare everyone in Rongguo Province, thinking that something had happened.

He Shen thought for a moment and gave up.

Anyway, Lin An Bo wouldn't be in such a hurry to go to Rongguo Province to propose marriage today.

"Then we'll talk about it tomorrow." He Shen said.

Liu Quan nodded and left, closing the door of the study.

He Shen still had several official documents on the table in front of him.

Recently, there was a big case where the officials were embezzling a lot of money. Qianlong was determined to solve it.

However, he didn't choose the person to handle the case.

The case involved a lot of people. He Shen didn't have any connections with other people, so he was naturally the best candidate.

However, the affairs in the capital couldn't be separated from him for the time being, so Qianlong didn't make up his mind.

However, when the situation became urgent, he would definitely be sent out.

He would not be in the capital for a period of time.

At that time, not to mention Lin An Bo's mansion.

If there was another Marquis of Pingyuan's mansion or Count Jinxiang's mansion … it was also possible.

Daiyu was very good. It was just that the people in Rongguo Province were all blind and didn't see it.

The people outside weren't blind or deaf. Naturally, they could tell Daiyu's good points.

At that time, there would be more people proposing marriage.

Young Master Lin An Bo had only seen him once at his grandmother's birthday banquet, and he couldn't forget him.

What about the others?

It was very likely that they would be the same.

He Shen felt more and more unhappy the more he thought about it.

He even felt that the pile of official documents on the table was a bit of an eyesore.

He casually flipped through them.

Suddenly, he thought of something. He opened the drawer and took out a few books.

The book didn't seem to match the thickness of the spine.

When he flipped it open slightly, he could see the letter hidden inside.

It was the letter that Daiyu had written to him.

However, he hadn't written to him for a long time.

He Shen felt even more unhappy.

If that young master really had his way, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to see Daiyu and write a letter to him in the future.

He Shen rubbed his eyebrows. He felt that the matter in front of him was more troublesome than eight or ten official matters.

At this time, a servant girl held the lamp and knocked twice on the door. "Young Master, do you still want supper?"

He Shen was usually busy with official matters until late at night. Everyone in the residence knew his habits. Therefore, after asking, they would prepare supper.

"As usual."

The servant girl agreed.

In less than the time it took to burn a stick of incense, the servant girl brought in a bowl of wine-filled glutinous rice balls and a plate of crispy almond pastry.

The wine-filled glutinous rice balls were steaming hot and filled with the dense fragrance of wine.

The almond pastry also emitted a fragrance.

However, He Shen suddenly lost his appetite.

His stomach was obviously empty, but the color of the food in front of him was dim. It didn't arouse his interest at all.

He Shen pushed the supper to the side.

He couldn't help but take out the old letters. He opened them one by one and read them one by one.

He didn't even miss the letters from a long time ago.

He somewhat forgot the time when he started to read.

The servant girls didn't suspect anything. After all, He Shen was a complete workaholic when he was busy.

There was no need to go to court today, and no one came to disturb him.

He Shen didn't know how long he had been sitting there.

He didn't raise his head until his stomach growled unbearably.

The sky outside was already bright.

He Shen walked over to open the door of the study. The servant girls were waiting outside.

"Take away the supper and ask the kitchen to make breakfast and send it here."

The servant girls responded. The one who went to the kitchen to instruct the kitchen went to instruct the kitchen. The one who came in to clean up the supper came to clean up the supper.

At this time, the servant bowed in front of He Shen and said, "Master, Wu Miao from yesterday came early this morning."

Could it be that something had happened?

He Shen's expression changed. "Why didn't you invite him in earlier?"

"I saw that you were busy, so I asked him to wait in the hall."

"Send him here."

"Okay." The servant immediately turned around and went to invite him.

When Comprador Wu came over, He Shen was eating breakfast.

Comprador Wu bowed to He Shen and hurriedly said, "Yesterday, Lin An Bo's wife brought his eldest son and personally came to the residence.

They talked for a while with Old Mistress and Second Mistress.

When Young Master Lin came back, he even went to see them. "

He paused and said, "I think this matter is going to be successful."

The spoon in He Shen's hand fell and hit the edge of the bowl with a "pa" sound.

Comprador Wu was startled and hurriedly said, "That Lin An Bo's eldest son seems to be quite sincere.

I think Young Master Lin is going to agree … "After he finished speaking, he emphasized with cold sweat," It seems so. "

Comprador Wu didn't expect that such a piece of news would provoke Assistant Minister He to have such a big reaction.

Young Master Lin wasn't worried that Miss Lin's eldest son wasn't a good choice after marrying Lin An Bo.

Why did Assistant Minister He seem more like Miss Lin's biological father?

Comprador Wu was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask.

There was no other reason. This Assistant Minister He just sat there and didn't say a word, but it was enough to make his heart and liver tremble.

He Shen wasn't in the mood to eat breakfast.

His mind was in a mess. It was as if a thousand Comprador Wu were stuffed in his head and shouting, "I'm afraid this matter is going to be successful!

I'm afraid this matter is going to be successful … "

He Shen's face turned ashen.

He stood up and said, "Liu Quan!

Prepare a sedan chair. We're going to Rongguo Province. "

Liu Quan responded loudly.

At this time, He Lin came in from outside. He twitched his nose and asked, "Elder Brother, what did you eat today?"

"See for yourself."

"Elder Brother, you didn't sleep all night?

I saw that the light in your study was on for a long time. "

"…" He Shen didn't pay attention to him. His face was gloomy, as if he was going to skin and dismember someone who offended him.

He Lin swallowed his saliva and watched as He Shen walked out quickly and left the residence with Liu Quan.

He didn't even spare a glance at his younger brother.

He Lin couldn't help but whisper to the servant girl, "Who offended my elder brother?"

The servant girl shook her head. She was also at a loss, "Who dares to offend our master?"

He Lin was silent for a while, "Elder Brother's temper has been very strange recently … Could it be that I've caused him too much trouble?"

The servant girl still shook her head.

He Lin walked to the table and sat down, "Forget it. If Elder Brother doesn't want to eat, I'll eat."

After saying that, he began to eat happily.

At this time, it was a quarter past noon.

When He Shen arrived at the gate of Rongguo Province, the gatekeeper didn't dare to delay and quickly went in to report.

It's over, it's over.

I'm afraid that Bao Er Ye has caused trouble again.
