Chapter 9 Xiahou Yuanzhi's currying favor
"You...... Do you really have something to do with Nan Wuyue? How can you be so shameless, our Shen family's face has been disgraced to you. Shen Ruiyuan saw that Shen Qingyun didn't speak, thinking that the matter was true, and he was even more angry.
"How can rumors be credulous, they are nonsense in the first place, and they don't need to be explained at all. If the Prime Minister has any doubts, why don't you go and find out yourself. Shen Qingyun said lightly, although the rumors in her heart did not have any technical content, but the parties involved were getting darker and darker.
"Master, Qingyun is still young, and it is inevitable that you should not be too angry when you make a mistake. Qingyun, your father is now for your good. You told us the truth, and we can help you suppress the matter as soon as possible, the reputation of a woman is the most important thing, how should you marry in the future. Xu Yanyun acted like a loving mother at this time and began to intercede for Shen Qingyun.
"If you want to add sin, there is no excuse. Madame knew that this was the case, so why did she bother acting here. Shen Qingyun continued, anyway, the person who counted the time to solve the problem should also come.
"Shen Qingyun, you still dare to quibble. You said that you have nothing to do with Nan Wuyue, so tell me if you have met Nan Wuyue these days, why did you say Nan Wuyue helped you, and where did you go yesterday? Shen Ruiyuan looked at Shen Qingyun and immediately spoke.
"Sir, don't be angry. In the final analysis, it's all my fault, it's me who was too busy with family affairs and neglected Du Qingyun's teaching, and it was I, a mother, who didn't teach her well, that made her do such a thing. Xu Yanyun comforted Shen Ruiyuan and spoke with self-reproach.
Shen Qingyun smiled secretly, and sure enough, her acting skills were superb. Two days ago, he could still point at himself and scold himself in front of everyone, but now he is pretending to be a good wife and mother.
"Madame wants to say that I am not educated, and I will directly say that Qingyun's mother was killed, so naturally I have no one to teach me." Shen Qingyun spoke.
Shen Qingyun didn't want to refute, but Xu Yanyun was not worthy of being her mother.
"Enough, I did something wrong and didn't repent, and now I'm still quibbling here. How did I give birth to a daughter like you. Shen Ruiyuan interrupted Shen Qingyun's words loudly.
"Is the Prime Minister trying to expel me from the house now?" The corners of Shen Qingyun's mouth were hooked again, and she raised her head to look at Shen Ruiyuan and asked.
It's just that such a move made Xu Yanyun's heart feel a little uneasy, she originally thought that she had suppressed Shen Qingyun, but now she is still in the mood to laugh If there is already a solution.
Of course, Shen Ruiyuan has such an idea, he only has one son, but this son has been spoiled since he was a child. Therefore, the Shen family has to rely on the remaining daughters, and only if the daughter marries well can the glory of the Shen family be maintained. Now that Shen Qingyun has done such a disgraceful thing, it will definitely have a great impact on the other daughters.
"Prime Minister, think about it, don't regret it." Shen Qingyun spoke again.
"If you know to repent and never commit any more crimes in the future, I will keep you in the Prime Minister's Mansion for your mother's sake, but from now on you will no longer be the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion. If you are still so stubborn, then you will leave my mansion. Shen Ruiyuan lowered his head and pondered for a while before speaking.
"The prime minister has a big temper." Before Shen Ruiyuan's voice fell, a very magnetic voice sounded outside the inner hall.
"Three...... Third Highness, why are you here? Everyone in the room was surprised when they saw the visitor, and the prime minister was also startled, and quickly got up to greet him. Several other ladies in the room bowed their heads slightly, but they couldn't help but look up secretly, after all, Xiahou Yuanzhi was really handsome, and the women who had not left the boudoir naturally liked it. Only Shen Qingyun seemed to have known that Xiahou Yuanzhi was coming, and stood very calmly.
"Your Highness doesn't know how to report it." Shen Ruiyuan scolded his subordinates while facing Xiahou Yuanzhi.
"The prime minister doesn't have to blame them, I insisted on coming in. But what is the prime minister doing, making such a big fuss? Xiahou Yuanzhi's eyes swept over the people in the room and asked.
"Nothing, take care of some family matters. Your Highness has any orders, why don't we go to the study and tell them. "The prime minister went perfunctorily and wanted to change places with Xiahou Yuanzhi.
"No need, this palace is here today to find Yun'er, since Yun'er is here, you don't have to go elsewhere." Xiahou Yuanzhi opened his mouth to himself, but his gaze stayed on Shen Qingyun. As soon as these words came out, a room full of people couldn't figure their heads.
"Find ...... Looking for Qingyun? The prime minister asked in disbelief.
"What, there is a second daughter named Yun'er in the Prime Minister's Mansion with the same name?" Xiahou Yuanzhi looked at the prime minister and asked, and then walked to Shen Qingyun's side. It looks like he has known Shen Qingyun for a long time and is very familiar.
"This morning, the palace heard some untrue gossip, and was afraid that Yun'er would be wronged, so he hurriedly dealt with the matter in his hand and rushed over, it seems that he is still a step too late. Yun'er is angry? Xiahou Yuanzhi looked at the people in the room and explained his intentions. Finally, he looked at Shen Qingyun and asked softly, with an indissoluble spoil in his eyes.
The people in the room were dumbfounded, the Third Highness was notoriously cold, how could he speak to a person in such a low profile.
"How dare Yun'er be angry with His Royal Highness, it's just that the rampant rumors made the prime minister very distressed, and just now he said that he would drive Qingyun out of the Prime Minister's Mansion." Shen Qingyun secretly scolded Xiahou Yuanzhi in her heart, but she still controlled her emotions and cooperated with Xiahou Yuanzhi to act.
"Oh, and that kind of thing? Will the prime minister still believe these rumors outside? Xiahou Yuanzhi hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, turned his head to look at the prime minister and asked.
"This ...... Naturally not, how is it possible. The prime minister was already in a cold sweat, he never thought that Shen Qingyun would be so familiar with Xiahou Yuanzhi.
"That's good, it was me who ate with Yun'er at the Zhenyu Pavilion a few days ago, as for Nan Wuyue, I'm afraid everyone misunderstood, Nan Wuyue is a friend of the palace and has nothing to do with Tongyun'er." Xiahou Yuanzhi opened his mouth leisurely and explained the things one by one.
"So that's the case, Yun'er, since you went out with Your Highness, why didn't you say it just now? If you had said it earlier, we wouldn't have misunderstood you. Xu Yanyun was even more confused, didn't he say that Shen Qingyun was a Nan Wuyue who went out, why did he suddenly become Xiahou Yuanzhi.
"Madam, now that the misunderstanding has been explained, there is one more thing that needs to be clarified today. Madame owes me three thousand six hundred taels of silver, can you bring it? Shen Qingyun looked at Xu Yanyun and asked.
"Three thousand six hundred taels of silver? What's going on here? Xiahou Yuanzhi asked with Shen Qingyun as he didn't know.
"It's nothing, it's just that Madame owes me some money. I said yes, I'm going to pay it back today. Shen Qingyun sneered, but he was still satisfied with Xiahou Yuanzhi's tacit cooperation.
"This ...... Qingyun, you see that you are still young, and the three thousand taels of silver are not a small amount, so it is better for me to save it for you first, and then add it to the dowry for you when you get married. Xu Yanyun looked at Shen Qingyun and said with a smile, Xiahou Yuanzhi didn't dare to be too presumptuous here.
"Then there is no need, the dowry prepared by the Prime Minister for the concubine is rich enough, and there is no need to add my silver to fill the face. Madame gave it to me today. Shen Qingyun said unrelentingly.
How could Xu Yanyun have such money, even if he did, he was reluctant to give it. Now she is embarrassed to get off the stage in such a scene, she originally said that she would embarrass Shen Qingyun today, but she didn't want to plant herself again.
"Madame isn't ready, is she, or doesn't want to give it back to me at all?" Shen Qingyun said lightly, as if she was just asking casually, but Xu Yanyun secretly said bad in her heart.
Shen Qingyun wanted to take advantage of Xiahou Yuanzhi's life to force herself to take out the silver, if she didn't give it tomorrow, it would be spread, and then the prime minister's face would not look good, and she would naturally not be able to feel better.
"Yun'er, don't be embarrassed for your wife, if the Prime Minister lacks your money, you can take it from me. But looking at the appearance of the lady and the ladies, it doesn't look like they can't get the money, could it be that it's just for Yun'er? Xiahou Yuanzhi opened his mouth very appropriately, and put pressure again.
"Yun'er is not small, since you said it to her, you can take it out." Shen Ruiyuan's face couldn't hold back, so he had to intervene.
"Master, you know how I have so much money." Xu Yanyun whispered to Shen Ruiyuan.
"Isn't Madame still in charge of a few shops, since Madame can't afford to pay for it, why don't you give me those shops to operate?" Shen Qingyun looked empathetic and made suggestions.
"Those shops don't make money, and besides, you don't know what to do with the shops." Xu Yanyun naturally wanted to stay up, and immediately refuted Shen Qingyun's suggestion.
The prime minister saw that Xiahou Yuanzhi had a black face, although he had never supported Xiahou Yuanzhi, but after all, he was a prince, and he still couldn't afford to provoke him. So he opened his mouth and said to Xu Yanyun: "Forget it, you can give the shop to Yun'er." ”
Xu Yanyun looked at Shen Ruiyuan, and then at Xiahou Yuanzhi, and there was no other way, so he had to grit his teeth and nod his head to agree.
"Since Madame agreed, then Bother Madame to hand over the account book to me, and I will let my girl get it." Shen Qingyun smiled and motioned for Shurui to go directly to get the account book.
"Now that the matter is settled, there are still some things between Bengong and Yun'er, and the prime minister won't mind Bengong taking Yun'er out for a while." Xiahou Yuanzhi watched the prime minister speak.
"Naturally don't mind, don't mind." The prime minister looked at Xiahou Yuanzhi with a smile, and respectfully sent the two out, and did not forget to tell Shen Qingyun to have fun.
When he got into the carriage, Shen Qingyun's face darkened, "Where does Your Highness want to take me?" ”
"Naturally, it's going to be where you want to go right now." Xiahou Yuanzhi looked at Shen Qingyun and smiled, in order to win the favor of the beauty, he could only betray Nan Wuyue once.
Shen Qingyun knew that it would be impossible even if he didn't want to have anything to do with Xiahou Yuanzhi, so he decided to give up the negotiation with Xiahou Yuanzhi first and solve the traitor Nan Wuyue.
