Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 327 Bad Fate

The carriage of Prince Cheng’s Mansion stopped at the gate of the palace.

After Xu Yuan drank a cup of tea, he calmed down and said, "Beiyao, I still have to persuade Shen Yichuan. Even if he is not my brother, as a student, I can't bear to see him continue like this."

People can be depressed, but they cannot live in grief all the time.

Living a life of drunkenness and dreams is wrong.

It is even more wrong to escape.

Bei Yao had no objection. He asked Chen Shan to send Xu Yuan to the palace while he went into the palace.

The matter of granting marriage cannot be delayed.

Bei Yao originally wanted to ask the Queen Mother to arrange a marriage, but now it seems that is not possible.

The Queen Mother doesn't know yet that Xu Yuan has returned to the capital. If he mentions it to her, there's a chance that the Queen Mother will immediately consider arranging a marriage for Shen Yichuan and Xu Yuan.

Beiyao didn't dare to gamble.

Huamei walked beside the carriage, holding up her forehead with her hand and thinking for a long time, but she still couldn't figure it out until they arrived at Prince Cheng's Mansion.

Chen Shan stopped the carriage, Huamei helped Xuyuan down, and kept his head down, not daring to look around.

This is Prince Cheng’s Palace.

She dared not look.

"Where is Shen Yichuan?"

"Backyard." Chen Shan led Xu Yuan into the mansion and said, "Miss Xu, Master Shen is drunk today. How about we wait until he wakes up?"

It wasn't that Chen Shan was unwilling, but when they went to carry Shen Yichuan, they realized how much Shen Yichuan had drunk.

I guess Shen Yichuan has been soaking in a jar of wine for the past month.

No one knows what he did, and the Shen family doesn't care about him. If it were in the past, he would have been carried back to the Shen Mansion long ago.

Hearing Chen Shan's words, Xu Yuan paused, and then said, "Make some sobering tea first and feed him first."

Chen Shan was right, Shen Yichuan was too drunk and had no idea what she was talking about.

What's more, she also needed to drink some hangover tea.

I am afraid that I can't control my emotions when making a wish.

"Yes."

Chen Shan agreed and immediately ordered someone to do it.

Then Xuyuan went to the pavilion by himself.

In June, the pond is full of lotus flowers, blooming extremely dazzlingly.

Seeing this, Huamei whispered, "Miss, there are lotus flowers planted in the mansion. If you like them, I will pick a few and place them on your dressing table when you go back today."

"No, just take a look in my spare time."

After Xu Yuan finished making the wish, he saw Chen Shan coming in hurriedly and then leaving in a hurry with his men.

She frowned slightly and was about to ask Chen Shan, but then she thought that since it was Prince Cheng's Mansion, she didn't dare to ask too much.

Before I could finish making a wish, someone outside the door started shouting loudly.

"Make a wish!"

"Make a wish, I know you are here, come out!"

"Make a wish, if you don't come out I'll force my way in!"

Outside the Prince Cheng's Mansion, Wu Shiming looked at Chen Shan, who was smiling but not smiling, and put his hands on his hips in anger.

Chen Shan smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Wu, I have not resorted to violence because you have done a lot for the prince before. But if you continue to make trouble like this, I will have to have you driven away."

Chen Shan was also confused about Wu Shiming.

In just a few months, Wu Shiming's business was booming.

In the capital, there is no one who does not know the name of Wu Shiming.

Similarly, Wu Shiming had a lot of cooperation with Chengwang Mansion.

Chen Shan could turn a blind eye to other things, but when it came to making wishes, Bei Yao had instructed that no matter who it was, they would be driven away.

Beiyao also made a list of those who needed to be driven away.

Wu Shiming and Qi Shengxin’s names are both on it.

After hearing what Chen Shan said, Wu Shiming continued, "Call Xu Yuan out, and I'll leave right away."

"The prince has instructed that Miss Xu not see outsiders."

"She is not engaged to your prince, so why should he be her master?" Wu Shiming became more and more unconvinced. "Thinking back to the time when Xu Yuan and I..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Shan glared at him and warned him, "Mr. Wu, some things are not suitable to be said."

Wu Shiming didn't continue.

He also knew that it was inappropriate to say those words, but he didn't react at the time and said them out of excitement.

After thinking about it, he still felt something was wrong and continued, "If you don't want me to see Xu Yuan, you have to let Xu Yuan go out and tell me himself, right?"

Wu Shiming ran many shops under his command and gradually formed an intelligence network.

Yipintang is also among them.

When he heard that Xu Yuan was at Yipin Building, he rushed there without stopping. Unexpectedly, Xu Yuan had already left, so he chased him to Chengwang Mansion.

He was about to see the person, but Chen Shan stopped him.

Wu Shiming was feeling very depressed.

What's more, he only treated Xu Yuan as a brother. If there was anything between the two of them, shouldn't it have happened long ago?

Chen Shan was not fooled by Wu Shiming's tricks. He looked down at Wu Shiming and said politely, "Mr. Wu, if you really want to see Miss Xu, you can go to the Xu residence and send a message. Miss Xu is in the palace today, so she is a distinguished guest of the palace. Outsiders..."

"Master Chen."

Chen Shan stopped talking abruptly.

Wu Shiming looked at Xu Yuan who was holding onto the door frame, and excitedly walked past Chen Shan and said, "Xu Yuan! I told you that you wouldn't refuse to see me, but Chen Shan is really something, who are we talking about?"

When Huamei saw Wu Shiming coming straight towards her, she immediately stepped forward, stood in front of Xu Yuan, and reminded him, "Young Master."

Any closer would be impolite.

Huamei didn't say the latter part of this sentence, but Wu Shiming understood it.

He took a look and asked, "A new maid?"

"Yes." Xu Yuan nodded, his eyes met the helpless Chen Shan, and he nodded slightly and said, "Master Chen, Wu Shiming and I will go to the teahouse outside to sit down. When Master Shen wakes up, I will ask my maid to come find me."

Xu Yuan probably guessed why Chen Shan had this attitude towards Wu Shiming.

But if Wu Shiming wants to meet, he cannot make things difficult for Chen Shan.

Make a wish and go to another place to talk.

"No need, I'll ask someone to prepare tea." Chen Shan said in a faint voice.

He hurried to make arrangements, thinking that Cheng Xi would have to be the one to handle these matters in the future. He didn't want to know about these twists and turns at all.

What's more, Xu Yuan's thoughts are hard to guess, and Bei Yao's thoughts are even harder to understand.

In the end, he was the one who suffered.

The palace belongs to Beiyao, and Xu Yuan didn't think of going anywhere else. He went to the pavilion where he had just admired the flowers. Huamei was waiting outside. He could see Xu Yuan and Wu Shiming, but couldn't hear the specific matters of their conversation.

After Chen Shan served tea, he and Huamei waited outside.

It was at this time that Xu Yuan asked, "How much do you know about Shen Yichuan?"

"I heard that you went to Yipinlou to look for Shen Yichuan, so I immediately asked someone about it." Wu Shiming glanced at the person who was like a wooden stake over there, and lowered his voice and said, "I heard that it was because of the Xu family. When your father returned to Beijing, it was so grand. He interviewed all the important figures in Beijing one by one, but he didn't go to the Shen family."

"and then?"

"Then there was the Dragon Boat Festival banquet held by the Xu family. As you know, the Xu family was at the center of controversy at that time, and no one dared to provoke them easily. I heard that it was Mr. Shen who asked Master Shen to go to the Xu family to congratulate them, but Master Shen refused at the time. The two of them stayed in the ancestral hall for one night, and Shen Yichuan was not right the next day."

"Not only that, Grand Tutor Shen also intends to resign, which probably means that he wants to leave the position of Grand Tutor vacant for someone with talent, and that person is your father. Recently, there have been rumors in the capital that the Shen family did something to offend the Xu family, but no one knows the truth."

Wu Shiming's ability is limited, and this is all he can find out.

Xu Yuan pieced everything together from Wu Shiming's words.

She sighed faintly and said, "It's really a bad fate."
