Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 328 You're right, I won't go

"Bad fate? What does that mean?" Wu Shiming didn't quite understand.

There are always many grudges among wealthy families, especially between big families like the Xu family and the Shen family.

The Shen family has indeed left without a word after their work is done.

But the Xu family doesn’t have it.

Wu Shiming has many teahouses under his control, and many people are buying news about the Xu family.

If I could reveal even a little bit...

bah bah bah.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Wu Shiming quickly cut it off.

Not to mention his friendship with Xu Yuan, even for his own sake, he could not reveal any news about the Xu family.

Although the Xu family has no official positions now, the expenses of the mansion are only dependent on the restaurant, and they look like a small family.

But he knew that this was just the surface.

After Xu Wenxian returned to Beijing, he took back the Xu residence without any effort. These days, many people came to ask to see him.

The officials who had been banished from the capital because of the Xu family incident were also transferred back to the capital one by one, and almost all of them followed Xu Wenxian's lead.

Xu Wenxian truly achieved this: although he was not in the government, he knew everything about the world.

There is also a national exam at the end of the year.

Wu Shiming guessed that Xu Wenxian should participate.

Whether he wins the championship or not is no longer important. As long as Xu Wenxian returns to officialdom, his future career will surely be smooth sailing.

The Xu family's confidence does not lie in the amount of gold, silver and jewelry they have, but in their ability to command the support of everyone in the court, making them a well-deserved powerful official.

"Nothing." Xu Yuan shook his head and brought up business: "I was planning to look for you, but since you're here, let's just talk about it together."

Wu Shiming raised his eyebrows and waited for the continuation of the wish.

"When I was in prison, there was a letter sent from the capital to the south. I hope you can help me find out who wrote this letter."

Wu Shiming frowned: "This is not easy to check."

When Zhang Yue returned to the capital with a spear, he left an indelible memory in many people's hearts.

Shen Yichuan must have checked why Zhang Yue returned to the capital.

But no news has been leaked so far, which can only mean one thing.

Not found.

"Indeed, it happened too long ago, but there are still some traces. If we carefully check the people who were out of the city for three months and the vendors all the way from the capital to the south, there must be some traces to follow."

"In that case, I'll let my brothers check it out, but there's no guarantee that they'll be able to find out who it is."

Wu Shiming thought about it, but still didn't give Xu Yuan a definite answer.

After all, this is a difficult thing.

"Let's check first. I think I already know who that person is, but I don't have evidence, so it's hard to convict him."

Seeing that Xu Yuan had thought about it, Wu Shiming felt relieved.

Then, he took out three land deeds, handed them to Xu Yuan and said, "These are the Wuji Restaurant in the east, south and west of the city. From today on, they belong to you. If you need anything in the future, just contact the owner directly."

Wu Shiming always remembered Xuyuan's help.

Wu Shiming knew that if he didn't make a wish, he would not go hungry or feel cold, but he would definitely live a precarious life.

Without making a wish, there would be no Wu Ji Restaurant which is now spread all over the capital and even Tianqi.

Beiyao has also been very helpful to him over the past few months.

Wu Shiming also knew that Bei Yao helped him in order to make a wish.

Therefore, he also has to be a grateful person.

"No need." Xuyuan pushed it back, "You deserve it. You have done me a great favor by doing the business with Geshu for me."

"Business is business, friendship is friendship." Wu Shiming glanced at Chen Shan who was watching him outside, and said, "Besides, even if you enter the palace in the future, you still have to make a living, right? I don't believe you will be someone who relies on men to survive."

If that day really comes, Xuyuan's only choice will be to divorce and leave the palace, rather than continue to stay and swallow her anger.

Wu Shiming had already thought about it. He wanted to prepare a way out for making a wish.

There is nothing in this world that money can't solve. If it can't be solved, then it means you don't have enough money.

Wu Shiming is well aware of this truth.

Therefore, he had to make a lot of money, enough to bring honor to his family.

"Of course I won't, but I still have my father and brother, so you don't have to worry. On the contrary, it's you. I just returned to the capital, and there are many people staring at me everywhere. You should stay away from me."

There is no clear indication of the wish.

The dangers in the dark are more terrifying than the dangers in the open.

"If I could be assassinated so easily, it can only be attributed to my own lack of skills. It has nothing to do with you." Wu Shiming shook his head.

"Then you should be more careful and remember what I said."

"know."

Wu Shiming finished talking, and the matter was almost over. He stood up and said, "I'm leaving first. If you need anything, come to Wu Ji Restaurant on Zhuque Street to find me."

Wu Shiming finished speaking, then he remembered something and said, "If I find any clues, I'll have the waiter at the restaurant go to Xu's house to look for you."

"it is good."

After seeing Wu Shiming off, Xuyuan was almost sober.

Chen Shan followed and asked, "Miss Xu, Mr. Shen has been fed the sobering tea. Do you want to go over?"

"No need." Xu Yuan shook his head, "Wait until your prince comes back and then persuade him."

Before making the wish, I didn't know that Shen Yijie intended to resign.

Now she roughly understood the whole story.

She is no saint.

Sometimes she couldn't even comfort herself, so how could she comfort Shen Yichuan?

Xu Yuan looked back at the backyard and murmured, "I hope he can figure it out himself. If he can't figure it out, it's okay for him to live in seclusion in the city from now on."

In short, you have to walk your own path in life.

People always prefer the path they did not choose. She is not a savior, and she cannot persuade a person who is desperate.

Hearing Xu Yuan's words, Chen Shan's eyes turned and he asked, "Then Miss Xu, are you going to the palace gate to wait for the Third Master to come back?"

Chen Shan remembered saying this when he made a wish yesterday.

When making wishes, we are often busy and forget about the next thing after doing one thing.

Chen Shan estimated that if he didn't mention it, he wouldn't be able to remember to make a wish.

However, before Xuyuan could say anything, Huamei beside him spoke first: "Miss, no."

"Although the young lady and the prince are familiar with each other, they are still unmarried. Now the young lady has reached the age of marriage. If the prince wants to do good for the young lady, he should avoid suspicion."

As soon as the thrush opened its little mouth, it spouted a string of profound truths.

These words were told by Nanny Yi.

Xu Yuan had previously traveled around as a man and encountered many prejudices.

Now that I'm a woman again, I should be careful with what I say and do.

Only in this way can we change the world's views.

Chen Shan: "..."

This girl didn't say a few words along the way, and Chen Shan originally thought she was a well-behaved girl. But now after hearing what Huamei said, Chen Shan felt that he was wrong.

And, it’s still totally wrong.

He said with a fake smile: "The prince came to the palace to ask for an imperial decree to grant marriage."

"Then we haven't gotten married yet." Huamei looked at Chen Shan and continued to argue: "What's more, even if the emperor grants the marriage, my master has not agreed, so Miss can't..."

"Huamei." Xuyuan interrupted Huamei and said with a smile: "You are right, I won't go."

After Xu Yuan finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Chen Shan and said, "Give your Highness a message for me, and tell him that Shen Yichuan has been handed over to him. I'm at Xu's house, waiting for his good news."

After making the wish, he took Huamei and left, leaving Chen Shan with a confused look on his face.
