"Exactly."
Yue Lianshuang nodded slightly, "The inheritance of Yulin Mountain is now in my hands. If I get married, this generation's Yulin Mountain will be nothing more. In a few decades, Yulin Mountain may no longer exist."
"So if the princess marries me, this problem won't happen?"
"It's a marriage." Yue Lianshuang emphasized, "Your father, Uncle Si Nan, was under the command of Yulinshan. Even now, there are hundreds of Yulinshan in Lu'an City who obey your father's orders. Yue Chen is a family. If you and I get married, naturally, This preserves the heritage of Yulin Mountain.”
To put it bluntly, Shen Xiong was also from Yuecheng, which was equivalent to internally digesting Yue Lianshuang. In essence, there was no change at all.
"The name of a bride-in-law is not very pleasant." Shen Qingyun said with a smile: "If I really agree to you, won't I offend a lot of people? Maybe I will also offend His Majesty. By then, the Shen family will not only be disadvantaged, but also make enemies everywhere."
"The Shen family is close to the Yue family, so they are enemies on all sides." Yue Lianshuang shook his head slightly.
The Shen family cannot escape the label of the Yue family.
Shen Qingyun shook his head and said: "The Shen family is peacefully settled in Liangzhou City and has not been mixed up in the undercurrent of the imperial capital. They are free and happy, so why bother asking for trouble?"
"The Shen family is also protected by the Yue family. Now that you are in need, you should try your best to help." Yue Lianshuang frowned slightly, bit her lip slightly and said: "I am not asking you to go up mountains of swords and seas of fire, but I am saying that you dislike my appearance. Ordinary, not worthy of being a wife?"
Yue Lianshuang is very beautiful, the most beautiful person Shen Qingyun has ever seen.
At first sight, Shen Qingyun was amazed by her.
But Shen Qingyun will not be fooled by beauty and plunge into the whirlpool.
"The princess is very handsome. Shen Qingyun can only admire her. How can she dare to dislike her?" Shen Qingyun waved her hands quickly.
Although it’s good to cheat, you still have to live to enjoy it.
"In that case, what dissatisfaction do you have?" Yue Lianshuang was so tender that Shen Qingyun didn't dare to look at her.
"It's not dissatisfaction, but unworthy." Shen Qingyun shook his head and said: "Since the princess wants to spend some time in Liangzhou City, why not also inquire about it. My reputation is too bad. Even if I marry into the family, I'm afraid it will make the British government become a I’m the butt of the joke, I really don’t dare to bring shame on the father-in-law’s face.”
The corner of Yue Lianshuang's lips curled up, "The prince is very good at dealing with things and doesn't admire beauty. He is very human. This shows that the rumors are wrong."
"Um..." Shen Qingyun touched his nose. Sometimes it's not good to act too smart or rational.
Wouldn't it be much better if I looked at her lustfully just now?
"You don't have to answer immediately. You can consider this matter slowly." Yue Lianshuang picked up the tea cup and took a sip. "When you figure it out, just tell me. I'll wait for you."
With the words "I'll wait for you", Shen Qingyun felt that all the bones in his body were numb and he felt uncomfortable all over.
"Thanks to the princess's kindness, Shen Qingyun is very grateful. I will consider it carefully and say goodbye."
Shen Qingyun stood up and said goodbye. After taking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something. He turned around and asked, "My princess has been in the imperial capital for a long time. I have something to ask my princess."
"you say."
"Princess Princess, have you ever heard of the name Mr. Wangshan?"
"Mr. Wangshan?" Yue Lianshuang frowned and recalled for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I never heard of it."
"Even the princess doesn't know." Shen Qingyun was a little disappointed, "Thank you very much, princess, and say goodbye."
After Shen Qingyun left, Yue Lianshuang's expression suddenly changed. The weak look that I felt sorry for suddenly returned to a somewhat determined look.
"You have a good character, and you can clearly see the pros and cons." Yue Lianshuang showed admiration, "The more this happens, the more suitable I feel. It is not useless, and maybe it can be a help."
"Your Majesty, does the princess have anything to do with you?"
Shen Qingyun grinned and said: "Of course there is something wrong. Seeing that my prince has a handsome face and a talented person, the princess wants to recruit me as a prince's horse."
"Uh..." Zhong Qi hesitated, shook his head and said: "What a person like the princess, how could she like the prince..."
"Huh?" Shen Qingyun said angrily: "Old Qi, what do you mean? Am I bad?"
"The Crown Prince is certainly not bad, but he is far from worthy of being worthy of the princess."
Zhong Qi naturally didn't believe Shen Qingyun's lies.
Shen Qingyun hummed and said: "These days, no one believes the truth anymore. There is no justice."
Zhong Qi smiled, whipped his horse, and the carriage set off again.
When Shen Qingyun arrived at the door of Zhou Mansion, several servants of Zhou Mansion were driving away the beggars gathered at the door.
"What's going on here?"
Shen Qingyun got out of the car and asked, and the servant replied: "As for the prince, I don't know where the beggars come from, and they can't be chased away even if they stay at the door."
Shen Qingyun took a look and said, "Just give them some money and food and let them leave."
"this..."
The master didn't say anything. How could these servants have money?
Shen Qingyun smiled, "Old Seven."
Zhong Qi hummed, took out a bag of broken silver and gave it to the beggar.
"Thank you sir, thank you sir..."
Everyone bowed and cupped their hands to Shen Qingyun.
Shen Qingyun hummed, "After taking the money, we went to buy food. It's all gone."
"Thank you, sir."
The beggars dispersed in a hurry. Shen Qingyun frowned when he saw this, and felt that there seemed to be a familiar figure just now.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"No problem." Shen Qingyun smiled and stepped through the door.
The Zhou family's mansion is much more magnificent than other mansions. There is no view at all, but luxury is everywhere.
From a distance, you can see the golden light emitting in the main hall, which is even more obvious when contrasted with the white snow.
Thinking of the beggar at the door just now, Shen Qingyun couldn't help but sigh.
"It's true that the wealthy family stinks of wine and meat, and people freeze to death on the road... No, I belong to a wealthy family, what the hell am I feeling?"
Shen Qingyun laughed and shook his head, while Zhong Qi looked at him in confusion.
"Brother Shen, why are you so late?"
When Zhou Bing saw Shen Qingyun arriving, he quickly stepped forward with great enthusiasm.
Shen Qingyun said: "There was some delay on the way. I'm really sorry."
"Brother Shen, what are you talking about? Brother Shen's willingness to come is already a reward. Please take a seat."
Zhou Bing personally introduced Shen Qingyun to his seat, "Brother Shen declined several invitations with excuses. I need to drink a few more drinks today."
"Haha..." Shen Qingyun smiled, "Why don't you see Mrs. Sister-in-law?"
Zhou Bing chuckled and said, "I invite Brother Shen to a banquet, how can I let her attend?"
No, you can just have fun at another village, but your wife is still here. Even if a husband is a wife, you have to restrain yourself, right?
Seeing Shen Qingyun's appearance, Zhou Bing explained: "She has returned to her parents' home. The heavy snow has blocked her. She may not be able to come back until the next year."
Shen Qingyun suddenly realized what he said.
"I have made a new friend these days. I will introduce him to Brother Shen later."
"That's fine." Shen Qingyun smiled and nodded, looked around, pulled Zhou Bing over and said, "Is there any news about Xu Qiao'er?"
"I'm afraid I will disappoint Brother Shen." Zhou Bing shook his head, "It must be true as Brother Shen said, she died outside a long time ago."
"That's such a pity." Shen Qingyun said regretfully.
Zhou Bing thought that Shen Qingyun was regretful that he could not get Qiao'er again, and laughed in a low voice: "It's just Xu Qiao'er, isn't it just a woman? When Brother Shen comes to my place, can I still treat Brother Shen badly?"
"Haha..." Shen Qingyun laughed dryly.
Zhou Bing waved, "Come here, serve the wine."
A maid stepped forward to fill Shen Qingyun's wine glass, and then retreated to Shen Qingyun's side.
"Brother Shen, please."
"please."
After having a drink, Shen Qingyun asked Zhou Bingdao: "Since Xu Qiaoer is dead, isn't it useless for Brother Zhou to still hold her father captive?"
"How can you say it's useless?" Zhou Bing's lips turned cruel, "The so-called son pays his debt to his father. Since his daughter is gone, I can only take it out on him."
Shen Qingyun's expression changed slightly, "Wouldn't this be bad? If the government knew about it, wouldn't it be troublesome?"
Zhou Bing looked a little strange when he heard this, "When did Brother Shen have so many worries?"
Forehead...
Could it be that the original person has done similar things before?
That's really a bastard. It's not an injustice to die.
"Xu Qiao'er is gone, and I can't bring myself to take any interest in targeting her father."
Now that Qiaoer's father is fine, Shen Qingyun is relieved, but Zhou Bing obviously refuses to let him go and will not give up until he is tortured to death.
At this point, Shen Qingyun is also seriously considering whether to take action to save the person.
"Your Majesty, please drink."
A familiar voice suddenly brought Shen Qingyun back to his senses. When he looked up, it was the maid who had just refilled the wine.
Shen Qingyun looked into her eyes and hesitantly shouted softly: "Miss Qiao'er?"
She didn't respond, filled her glass and stepped aside.
Shen Qingyun glanced at her and said to Zhou Bing: "Where is Brother Zhou's hut?"
Zhou Bing was stunned for a moment. Before he could speak, he saw Shen Qingyun pulling the maid beside him and said, "Lead the way for me."
"yes."
Coming to the corridor, Shen Qingyun saw no one around and asked quickly: "It's really you, how did you get in? And how did you get your face? Is it a disguise?"
At this time, Qiaoer was completely unrecognizable. Except for the slight similarity between his eyebrows, he was completely the same person as before.
If you are not close to someone, you won't be able to tell the difference at all.
"But the prince still recognized me at a glance."
Shen Qingyun gave a wry smile, stretched out his thumb and said, "You are awesome. I didn't expect you to have such ability. Being an oiran is really a humiliation of your talents."
Qiaoer smiled and said: "This is not my ability."
"Um?"
"It's a long story. I'll tell it to the Crown Prince again when I have the chance."
Shen Qingyun shook his head, "Since you are here today, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to have a future."
Qiaoer just smiled when he heard this.
"I don't know what you want to do, but your father is still in Zhou Bing's hands, why don't you just ignore him?"
When Qiao'er heard this, his eyes flickered and he said, "Isn't that just right? Just kill them together."
"What the hell?"
Shen Qingyun was stunned by Qiaoer's words and couldn't think straight.
I don’t even dare to say that my cheap dad is ruthless enough to kill me. How about your real dad who just kills you when he says so?
No, that's your dad!
Is that your dad?
Seeing Shen Qingyun's horrified look, Qiaoer laughed out loud, "I was joking."
"Can you just make a joke?" Shen Qingyun shook his head, sighed softly, and said: "I know it is impossible to persuade you to give up now. No matter whether you can succeed or not, as long as you can leave Zhou Mansion alive, I will keep you alive." Your life."
Qiaoer's eyes flashed with joy when he heard this, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
