Chapter Ninety-Eight: Disgraced

Qiu Yi frowned slightly, looking at Shangguan Yu with concern in his eyes.

Seeing Shangguan Yu looking so haggard, Qiu Yi couldn't help but feel a trace of guilt in his heart.

However, the matter has come to this point, if Shangguan Yu is not forced to retreat, according to his character, he will definitely not be willing to give in.

"What's the method?" Shangguan Yu was puzzled.

Now that Zongzheng Mansion has fallen into the current field, Shangguan Yu only feels frustrated.

Although Chen Tianfu's death had nothing to do with him, all kinds of spearheads were pointed at him. Thinking about it, it was also because of himself that he caused Lord Shangguan to suffer.

It's a pity that his official position is not enough, it is obviously his own fault, but he has to punish Lord Shangguan, and Shangguan Yu has nowhere to redress his grievances.

"Isn't Lord Shangguan on good terms with the Prime Minister, if you don't have a clue here, why don't you go and ask Lord Yun for help? After all, Lord Yun is the prime minister, and when it comes to status, he can always say a few words in front of the emperor. Qiuyi took the opportunity to help Shangguan Yu come up with an idea.

In the current situation, Chen Tianfu is the only younger brother of the queen, and this matter will not end easily. Besides, the emperor has already given an order, and it is even more difficult to turn the tide.

At present, it seems that this is really the only method worth trying, and Shangguan Yu agreed after thinking about it for a while.

In the evening, Shangguan Yu cleaned up and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

In the study, there was only one candle on the table, which illuminated the whole room in dusk.

Yun Shichang sat at the table, holding a booklet in his hand, and he couldn't read a word for a long time.

"Knock knock."

There was a knock at the door.

"Master, Shangguan Gongzi asks to see you." The butler asked cautiously.

After all, Zongzheng Mansion instantly became the target of public criticism, originally because of the grudge with the Chen family, many powerful people in the capital did not dare to approach, and now that such a thing happened, Zongzheng Mansion became a rat crossing the street.

"Let him in." Yun Shichang agreed without hesitation.

He has been a friend of Lord Shangguan for twenty years, how could he leave it alone if something happens. In fact, if it weren't for the Prime Minister's Mansion to take care of it, Zongzheng Mansion would not have been able to survive to the point where it is now.

Chen Tianfu is notoriously vicious in his eyes, Zongzheng Mansion is targeted by him, and he has suffered a dumb loss, no matter how powerful Yun Shichang is, he can't compare to the queen's status.

"Lord Le." After Shangguan Yu came in, the housekeeper closed the door. As soon as he said hello, he threw himself to his knees.

"What are you doing! Get up! Yun Shichang was shocked, and hurriedly got up and went around the study to help.

"Now that my father has been ordered by the emperor to send the frontier, the Zongzheng Mansion is crumbling, only you don't dislike the Shangguan family is on the verge of defeat." Shangguan Yu didn't say that Yun Shichang would help, just because he was willing to see him, Shangguan Yu was already not very grateful.

He bowed his head heavily, his tone was firm, and his heart was full of gratitude.

"My relationship with your father, where can I say this." Yun Shichang helped Shangguan Yu up. "Something happened to Zongzheng Mansion, and I was very anxious."

He sighed helplessly and looked at Shangguan Yu with four eyes. Counting Shangguan Yu, he was only in his early twenties, but he was forced to experience the middle of the family, and Yun Shichang was distressed.

"I'll tell you the truth, I came here this time to ask for something." Shangguan Yu's face looked ashamed. He knew in his heart that Zongzheng Mansion had come all the way to the point where he had gotten to the point, and he didn't know how many times he had troubled Yun Shichang, but at the moment, except for Yun Shichang, Shangguan Yu couldn't find anyone else to help.

"I know." Yun Shichang patted Shangguan Yu's shoulder lightly, and then led him to sit down on the side seat, "Don't worry, I won't care if Lord Shangguan lives or dies." If there is a glimmer of opportunity, I will help. ”

Yun Shichang's face was firm, and his speech was even more sonorous. couldn't help but give Shangguan Yu more hope in his heart. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and tears flashed in his eyes when he looked at Yun Shichang.

Because of the man's affection, Shangguan Yu put the sourness and emotion into his heart.

"What you should do now is to appease Lord Shangguan's emotions, now that the situation is tense, I don't want to blatantly visit Zongzheng Mansion, so I can only ask you to bring my comfort." Yun Shichang is very kind, although there is a huge disparity between the official positions and status of the two, Yun Shichang has never snubbed this old friend.

If Zongzheng Mansion wants to say that it is unlucky, it is to provoke the bully Chen Tianfu. If you want to talk about good luck, it must be to make friends like Yun Shichang.

"My father has been in a really low mood recently, and he stays in the room all day long, and I am so busy with how to solve this matter that I have no choice but to come over and ask Lord Yun." Shangguan Yu shook his head again and again.

The more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt.

"This matter has alarmed the emperor, and it is really difficult to solve it." Yun Shichang's brows furrowed tightly. "Chen Tianfu has done a lot of evil, and it has not been a day or two since he was rampant and domineering in the capital, and this time you also suffered a dumb loss, and you happened to be used as a shield."

"Thank you, Lord Yun, for believing in me." Seeing that someone knew the reason, Shangguan Yu was not very grateful. I'm afraid that now the government and the opposition are all disgusted with the young master of Zongzheng Mansion for killing Chen Tianfu because of a singer, and I don't know how many backbones he poked behind his back.

"You grew up watching me grow up since you were a child, maybe I don't know what kind of temperament you have?" Yun Shichang smiled. "You have been extremely upright and selfless since you were a child, and no matter how impulsive you are, you will not do such a bold thing."

In Yun Shichang's impression, Shangguan Yu was mighty and unyielding, and he was very well-behaved, so he didn't ask, and Yun Shichang never believed the rumors when the emperor made the judgment that day.

Shangguan Yu and Yun Shichang exchanged pleasantries for a while, worried that they would be seen and grabbed the handle, which would cause the Prime Minister's Mansion to be frustrated, and Shangguan Yu left quickly.

Just happened to leave the study, I bumped into Yun Xiaowan coming over.

"Shangguan Yu?" Yun Xiaowan was surprised when she spoke, she looked Shangguan Yu up and down, and the sarcasm in her eyes was very obvious. "Why did you come to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"Miss Yun." Shangguan Yu responded gently, greeting and nodding to her. "I'm here to ask Lord Yun for help."

The corners of Shangguan Yu's mouth rose slightly, and he was humble and polite when facing Yun Xiaowan. Just by saying two sentences, Shangguan Yu knew that Yun Xiaowan was arrogant and domineering, and she was an extremely willful girl. If it weren't for Yun Shichang, Shangguan Yu wouldn't want to say more to her.

"Forget it." Yun Xiaowan rolled her eyes at Shangguan Yu. "Zongzheng Mansion is almost gone, what's the use of you coming to beg my father? Could it be that someone who wants to pull a cushion on his back and suffer with you? ”

Yun Xiaowan had just heard Rouge talk about Zongzheng Mansion, and she hurried to the study to discuss the cancellation of the marriage with Yun Shichang, but when she met Shangguan Yu, Yun Xiaowan was even more angry.

"That's not what I meant." Shangguan Yu frowned slightly.

"I don't know about your Shangguan family?" Yun Xiaowan snorted coldly disdainfully. "It's always been like a dog skin plaster on my father's body, no matter what happens on weekdays, I have to take care of my father, but now that such a big thing has happened, you still want the Prime Minister's Mansion to clean up the mess for you?"

Yun Xiaowan clasped her arms with both hands, clearly half a head shorter than Shangguan Yu, but she was very arrogant in her arrogance.

She is not afraid of Shangguan Yu at all, because in Yun Xiaowan's heart, she has never looked at Shangguan Yu squarely.

Shangguan Yu pursed his lips tightly, and in the face of Yun Xiaowan's insults, Shangguan Yu didn't even know where to reply.

In this way, he seems to be as Yun Xiaowan said, the affairs of Zongzheng Mansion are troublesome for Yun Shichang to deal with every time.

"I advise you to stay away from the Prime Minister's Mansion, don't bother us." Yun Xiaowan swept over Shangguan Yu in disgust, as if she was looking at some dirty garbage.

"As for your marriage contract with me, I will tell my father to dissolve it now, I don't want to marry someone like you." Yun Xiaowan's dislike and disparagement are beyond words.

Shangguan Yu clenched his fists tightly, his self-esteem was damaged, and he was naturally angry. But what Yun Xiaowan said was true, and Shangguan Yu even felt that he was not worthy of explanation.

"Why are you still stunned?" Rouge didn't bother to say more to Shangguan Yu, she tilted her head slightly and glanced at the guards standing behind her. "Get him out of here, don't get my eyes dirty."

As soon as the words fell, Yun Shichang immediately pushed the door out.

"Daddy!" Seeing Yun Shichang, Yun Xiaowan's face was surprised for a moment. Then she hurriedly laughed and greeted her warmly.

"What are you doing?" Yun Shichang's tone was serious. Just now he was in the room, and he heard the conversation between Yun Xiaowan and Shangguan Yu clearly.

I thought that the two of them meeting was just a greeting, and Yun Xiaowan had always been reluctant to marry Shangguan Yu, and she was a little willful in her speech, but she didn't expect her to be more and more excessive, even to the point of viciousness.

"Dad, I'm here to reprimand him for you." Yun Xiaowan grabbed Yun Shichang's arm and said coquettishly to him. "Think about it, now that Yongzheng Mansion has become like this, the beams and pillars have collapsed, how long can they survive? Besides, the emperor and the queen are staring, he came to you at this juncture, didn't he deliberately drag the prime minister's mansion into the water. ”

Yun Xiaowan's words are reasonable, and it is clear that she is angry, but now it has become for the sake of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Shangguan Yu bowed his head heavily, and after listening to Yun Xiaowan's words, his heart was even more uncomfortable.

If it weren't for the desperation, Shangguan Yu would not have let go of his face and came to ask Yun Shichang for help.

"Yu'er, you go back first." Yun Shichang didn't answer Yun Xiaowan, but looked at Shangguan Yu under the steps behind her. "Remember what I said, and help me say hello to Lord Shangguan."

Shangguan Yu looked at Yun Shichang's eyes, those eyes were full of kindness and firmness, and there was no dislike at all. Yun Xiaowan said that he did not waver in this part, and Shangguan Yu didn't know how to repay Yun Shichang.

He nodded vigorously at Yun Shichang, then turned to leave.

"Daddy!" Yun Xiaowan stomped her feet, just now Yun Shichang was talking to Shangguan Yu Haosheng in front of her, it was nothing more than losing face to her in front of others, this was not a bright elbow turning out.

"Come in." Yun Shichang commanded sternly.

The door of the study was closed, and only Yun Shichang and Yun Xiaowan were left in the room.

Yun Shichang sat down at the desk and looked at Yun Xiaowan with a blue face. "Look for yourself what nonsense you said one day, there is such a big thing happening in the Shangguan family now, you can imagine how much pressure Yu'er has, since you count down like this in front of him, it is really unreasonable!"

Because he was angry, Yun Shichang tilted his head to the side, unwilling to look at Yun Xiaowan.

"I'm your daughter, Shangguan Yu is just an outsider, why are you protecting him like this?"

"He's not an outsider!"
