Chapter 8: Trading with Wolves

Xu was making too much noise, and after a while, the housekeeper took someone out and begged Shen Lingyu to go back.

"Third lady, the old lady said that she won't force you, go back to your room quickly, sit here and cry, isn't this sincere to embarrass the general's mansion?"

Shen Lingyu achieved his goal, and he didn't talk nonsense with him, holding Zelan's hand and slowly getting up from the ground to listen to Yuxuan.

It's just that behind him is like a man's back, and you don't need to look at it, you want to know where that hot gaze is coming from.

Thinking of Xie Yunzhou's hypocritical face, Shen Lingyu couldn't help but sigh.

The people in the General's Mansion were forcing her, but they didn't know that she had already committed to Xie Yunzhou, although the purpose was different, but it was not easy to get rid of him.

Therefore, that night, Shen Lingyu sneaked out from the back door of the General's Mansion and went to Xie Yunzhou's courtyard with ease.

This annex is named Xiaoxiang Xiyuan, and it is extremely elegantly built, and it has the style of landscape gardens in Yangzhou, south of the Yangtze River.

Every time Shen Lingyu comes, he can't help but think of his father and mother who are far away in Jiangnan.

But Xie Yunzhou is too Meng Lang, and the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River are mostly places for literati and ink writers to taste tea and write poems, and when they come to him, they have directly become a place of wind and moon.

It was still the same guard who came to pick her up, and after leading her through the door, he went straight to the attic where he went last time.

The sound of silk and bamboo was in his ears, and Shen Lingyu suddenly felt a little disgusting in his heart, and for a moment he had the intention of retreating.

But she knew that since she had already stepped here, it was not up to her to decide whether to leave or stay.

The guards brought her to the attic door and stopped.

Shen Lingyu consciously pushed the door in, and as soon as he walked up to the second floor, he saw several musicians sitting at the corner of the stairs playing music, and in the middle there was a group of beautiful dancers twisting their waists and posing.

And Xie Yunzhou leaned on a low couch, drinking with his clothes open, as if he didn't see her at all.

Shen Lingyu stood there with his head bowed, with no expression on his face.

In the next moment, Xie Yunzhou suddenly pulled a delicate dancing girl into his arms, slowly raised his right hand, and poured all the wine in the cup on the dancing girl.

"My lord is so bad." Maihime said shyly with a red face.

Xie Yunzhou smiled: "I can be worse." ”

As he spoke, he picked up his fingertips and took off the thin shirt on Mai Ji's body, layer after layer, very slowly, his eyes full of desire.

Shen Lingyu watched from the sidelines, unconsciously remembering the way he fiddled with himself that night, and suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart, and couldn't help but turn his head and bend over and retch.

Seeing this, Xie Yunzhou instantly became angry.

"Get out of here!"

When the musicians and dancers saw that he was angry, they hurriedly retreated.

Shen Lingyu knew that she had defeated his interest, but she couldn't blame her, this person was too rampant.

The thought of how many women he had touched with his hands, and then touched her, made the vomit in his heart even stronger.

Xie Yunzhou stared at her with a dark face for a long time, and he sneered.

"What, Mrs. Pei San thinks that this official is dirty?"

Shen Lingyu was shocked, how dare he tell him the truth, and quickly shook his head to deny it.

"No, Lord Squire is too worried."

"How worried is this official? So what are you doing now? ”

Xie Yunzhou got up and approached her, poured a glass of wine and handed it to her.

"Mrs. Pei San scared away all the dancing girls of the official, it stands to reason that she should punish herself with three cups and make amends to the official?"

Shen Lingyu wanted to beat him to death with a hammer.

Mai Ji obviously ran away by himself, so what does it have to do with her.

What's more, he really doesn't act cleanly.

Besides, this wine glass, he just used.

Shen Lingyu didn't want to touch the things he had used.

"Forgive me, Lord Squire, courtiers don't drink alcohol."

Xie Yunzhou squinted and sneered, "Mrs. Pei San came to me, and she dared to talk to me with this attitude, isn't she tired of being alive, and she still wants to take the entire General's Mansion to accompany the funeral?" ”

As soon as Shen Lingyu heard the tone of his voice, he knew that he had guessed correctly before.

There must be some ulterior grievances between Xie Yunzhou and the General's Mansion, otherwise he would not obstruct Pei Lanzhi's promotion.

It stands to reason that Pei Lanzhi won the battle, and Xie Yunzhou should take this opportunity to help him say all the good things in front of the emperor, so that he can also make friends with the way to the General's Mansion, and the road to the court will definitely be smoother in the future.

But Xie Yunzhou went the other way, which shows that he has no intention of winning over the General's Mansion.

No matter what kind of thoughts he had in mind for the General's Mansion, it was always a good thing for her.

Although she has already died once, if she wants to bring down the General's Mansion, she is still delusional on her own.

No matter how bad the General's Mansion is, it can't be shaken by a small mayfly, so she wants to find an alliance.

And the most suitable candidate for this is undoubtedly Xie Yunzhou.

After all, ten years later, he is the first assistant of the dynasty under one person and above ten thousand people.

Thinking of this, Shen Lingyu raised her eyebrows, raised her head and smiled at Xie Yunzhou.

"Xie Shilang, let's make a deal, how about it?"

Xie Yunzhou saw that she was not threatened by her words in the slightest, and his eyes suddenly showed a little interest.

"What deal?"

Shen Lingyu said bluntly: "My husband died on the battlefield for the people of his family and country, which is a merit, although the emperor let the family enjoy the temple, but I don't want my husband's merits to be forgotten......"

"I can't see that you have a lot of affection for your short-lived husband." Xie Yunzhou sneered.

Shen Lingyu just didn't hear it, pursed his lips and continued to speak.

"I am willing to pour all the wealth of the Shen family to help Lord Shilang rise to the top in the court, but correspondingly, I hope that Lord Shilang can say a lot of good words for my husband in front of the emperor and award him a meritorious knight."

"Dumping the Shen family's wealth?"

Xie Yunzhou narrowed his eyes, and his eyes suddenly darkened a lot.

"Shen Lingyu, a dead man, is worthy of you doing this for him?"

"It's worth it!" Shen Lingyu cut the railway.

Xie Yunzhou looked at her expression, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again.

"If your deceased husband confers a knighthood, you will be a knightess, and from now on, in the entire General's Mansion, except for the old lady, no one will dare to bully you. Shen Lingyu, are you doing this for your husband who has turned into a skeleton, or for yourself? ”

Shen Lingyu was poked by him in thought, but his face was not panicked, and the corners of his mouth only smiled faintly.

"No matter who it's for, it doesn't hurt for Lord Squiro, does it?"

Xie Yunzhou didn't expect her to ask herself so much, and after being stunned for a moment, he laughed faintly.

"You're right, this deal is really good for me."

Things went even more smoothly than Shen Lingyu imagined.

Shen Lingyu's heart was relieved, and he said: "Since Lord Shilang agreed, the courtiers will leave, hoping that the courtiers can receive the good news from the adults as soon as possible." ”

After speaking, she bowed slightly, turned her head and was about to leave.

How could I think Xie Yunzhou suddenly stopped her in a deep voice.

"Wait."

Shen Lingyu looked back inexplicably, "Xie Shilang still has something?" ”

Xie Yunzhou's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he slowly approached her with his negative hand.

"I can't sleep for a long night, at this time, if no one lies by my side to accompany me, I won't be able to sleep, Mrs. Pei San scared away my dancing girl, I can only let you give up your life to accompany you."
