Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 151 Do You Really Think I'm a Sick Cat?

The moon rises above the brow.

When I made a wish and went out, I caught a glimpse of the full moon and slowly stopped.

Seeing this, Bei Yao also stopped and looked at the moon in the sky with Xu Yuan.

Xuyuan sighed: "This moon is so round."

"Are you homesick?" Bei Yao lowered his eyes and looked at Xu Yuan.

"A little bit." Xuyuan nodded.

The evening breeze was a little cold. She looked at the full moon in the sky, and her words became a little more desolate.

"Shangjing and Hanzhou are too far apart, and the weather is getting colder. I don't know if my father's legs are starting to hurt again."

Make a wish and sigh softly.

"I have a miracle doctor in my house. If you need him, I'll ask him to go to Sishui County."

"It's almost the end of the year. If we go back and forth, we won't be able to celebrate the New Year. Let's just forget it."

Xu Yuan smiled and said, "When I get what I want, I will personally take him to the capital and find the best doctor to treat his leg."

Beiyao nodded, "Okay."

Bei Yao sent Xu Yuan back before returning via another route.

Before he arrived, he heard Chen Shan come to report: "Third Master, the Queen has gone to the palace again. Should we return to the palace?"

Beiyao couldn't help laughing when he thought of the argument last night. His voice was cold, "You really think I'm a sick cat."

Hearing the coldness in Bei Yao's words, Chen Shan didn't dare to respond.

Bei Yao said: "Since you want to pave the way for your brother so much, then you can only tell her that I am not a lamb that can be slaughtered at will."

"Mother, you are unkind, so you can't blame me for being ruthless."

Maybe I drank too much and wished for a good night's sleep, but I didn't even have a dream.

As soon as she opened her eyes, Master Qin came.

"Master Xu, the master left first because of something. Before leaving, the master told me that if Master Xu wants to come to Ronghua Garden, he can come anytime."

Xu Yuan didn't think about coming to Ronghua Garden again in the future, but she still said, "Thank your young master for me."

Young Master Qin smiled but did not speak.

After washing up and making a wish to have a meal, Chen Shan came.

Said to send Xuyuan back to the city.

Xu Yuan was not so careless as to sit in the carriage by himself. Instead, he sat outside with Chen Shan, looking at the surrounding scenery, and asked, "Wu Shiming, was alright last night?"

"Nothing." Chen Shan shook his head and said, "I went to find him personally, Mr. Xu can rest assured."

"That's good." Xu Yuan nodded.

Chen Shan had not planned to say much, but when he heard Xu Yuan mention Wu Shiming, he couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Xu, have you found out who that person is? Don't just bring anyone home casually, or you'll get into trouble."

It's not scary to bring trouble upon oneself, what's scary is that his son has to clean up the mess.

What Chen Shan was worried about was not Xu Yuan, but his young master.

Although Xu Yuan was good-looking, she was not stunningly beautiful. It was no exaggeration to say that she was not even one-third as beautiful as his son.

Still a man...

I don’t know how his son could become so crazy.

When Chen Shan thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Throughout the ages, it has been said that even heroes cannot resist the temptation of beautiful women.

Chen Shan felt that he should add one more sentence today: it is also difficult to pass the test of handsome men...

"Of course I understand." Xu Yuan nodded.

After she finished speaking, she thought of something and asked, "Have you checked Wu Shiming? Or, have you found anything?"

Hearing this, Chen Shan was startled and subconsciously pulled the reins.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan became more certain of his guess and asked him, "Since you have already found out, why not tell me? If you don't tell me, I will ask your son and he will tell me too."

Chen Shan sighed and said, "The young master didn't mean to investigate Wu Shiming. He just found some traces of Wu Shiming when he was watching the prince. Wu Shiming is definitely not just a beggar."

"What do you mean?"

"There is a group of people in the capital who have been selling illegal salt and making a lot of money."

After Chen Shan finished speaking, he knew that Xu Yuan knew a lot, so he continued, "The prince has been accumulating wealth, so the young master suspects... maybe the salt dealer is Wu Shiming, and the backer behind Wu Shiming is the prince."

Chen Shan's words were like thunder out of the blue.

The degree of shock was no less than the day when Shen Renyao told her that the person behind the war to support war in Sishui County was the prince.

After a long while, Xu Yuan finally found his voice and murmured, "Prince, are you crazy?"

"More than that, Mr. Xu probably doesn't know how the prince married the daughter of the Qi family, right?"

Xuyuan shook his head.

Such royal affairs, if they were dirty, would be kept tightly covered.

Although she had lived two lives and knew a lot, it was all known to everyone, and now she was using this plan to just take advantage of the situation.

Seeing that Xu Yuan didn't know, Chen Shan suddenly became curious and whispered, "The prince held a flower-viewing banquet, and the eldest daughter of the Qi family drank too much. After waking up, she found that she and the prince had stayed together..."

Chen Shan described it vividly, but Xu Yuan's ears turned red. He interrupted him hurriedly and asked, "Is it so despicable?"

"Everyone outside says that the prince is extremely talented and is a worthy candidate for the throne, but in fact, that's all he spread himself. In reality, he is just a despicable villain and cannot be compared to my son."

At the end, Chen Shan even seemed a little complacent.

Xu Yuan also nodded and agreed: "Indeed, they are incomparable."

As Xu Yuan was talking, he thought of the Third Prince, so he asked, "So what do you think of the Third Prince?"

"The Third Master is naturally very good, but I'm afraid that it's different from what Master Xu thinks. The Third Master doesn't really want to be the crown prince."

"Why? Is there anyone in the world who doesn't want that position?"

"Of course there is, you just haven't seen it."

Chen Shan slowly stroked the horse's butt, and the carriage went slower and slower.

He slowly said, "The Third Master has never left the capital since he was a child. Everyone thinks he is very beloved, but in fact, when he was born, the late emperor had just passed away. The emperor was busy with government affairs and had no time to take care of him. The queen also didn't care and left him to Concubine Ying until he became the master of Jing'an Palace..."

Chen Shan's voice drifted away, "Third Master has been trapped behind high walls all his life. What he wants is love from his father and mother, and the freedom to travel freely in the world..."

Xu Yuan was stunned. She didn't believe what Chen Shan said.

But then I suddenly realized that Chen Shan was not lying.

Since he has no intention of a high position...then why did he replace the crown prince and become the heir apparent?

Subconsciously, Xu Yuan asked, "How is that possible?"

Chen Shan was about to explain, but when the words came to his lips, he stopped and said, "Forget it. No matter how much I say, you won't believe it. When you meet the Third Master in the future, you will understand that what I said today is not a lie."

Chen Shan raised his whip and said, "If even you don't understand him, then no one in the world can understand the mountains and rivers in his heart."

Xu Yuan smiled and didn't respond.
