In order to appear as if she was recovering from a serious illness, Shen Yun even feigned a cough twice, and Xiao Chonghuan pretended to be concerned, "Lady must take care of her health."
"Master flatters me," Shen Yun replied with dignified grace.
The Gongsun Family's intelligence network was extraordinary. For some unknown reason, Xiao Yuchuan had fought fiercely with the Xiao Clan guards in Longwan Town, almost dying from severe injuries. Gongsun Xi was naturally aware of this event. He also learned that Xiao Yuchuan loved Su Qingyue deeply—could it be that her surprise attack on Yuchuan led to his abnormal behavior?
Gongsun Xi also understood that Shen Yun's illness was a pretense; it was her way of avoiding humiliation for his Gongsun Family.
