Wen Qiyu patted Cen Xi's shoulder excitedly, her eyes shining almost exaggeratedly.
Cen Xiduan looked at him and thought that this person was different from the Wen family in Shangyang City. He had a free-spirited mind and seemed to dislike being restrained.
Tall and elegant, with delicate features, he wasn't as handsome as Shen Jinchen or Jun Jianchou, but he was still pleasing to the eye.
Cen Xi has always liked good-looking people, so there's nothing wrong with associating with this person. Besides, he's a member of the Wen family, not the Wen family of Shangyang City, but the Wen family of Jinling. So she can't let go of the opportunity to investigate.
Although she didn't care about that scoundrel's relationship with the Wen family, it was already entangled, so it was better to know more.
As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle." If she gets hold of that scoundrel's weakness, and he tries to scheme against her, she'll have to find something to use against him, won't she?
Seeing that Cen Xi was staring at him without saying a word, Wen Qiyu finally couldn't help but roll up his sleeve, tap Cen Xi's head, and ask:
"Brother Jiang, what's the meaning of your silence? Do you look down on me, Wen?"
Seeing him frowning and looking her up and down, Cen Xi quickly smiled awkwardly and said:
"Brother Wen, you flatter me. It is a blessing for Jiang Yu to befriend a young master from a distinguished family like you. You flatter me, my dear brother."
"I knew you'd be straightforward. You can't find the Prime Minister's residence? I'm an old acquaintance of his. I'll take you there. My dear brother, although I admire your outspokenness and courage, I advise you not to provoke that treacherous prime minister. He's quite formidable."
"You have no idea how many old ministers opposed His Majesty's decision to appoint him in court, despite the strong opposition. But he only had to give a long speech in court, and he angered several old ministers so much that they vomited blood on the spot and soon went back to meet the King of Hell."
"His ability to kill with just his words is unprecedented, so he is a devil. Brother, you must never provoke him in the future. If you go too far, I will have to collect your corpse."
"Although respecting teachers and valuing the Way is an idea put forward by those pedantic scholars, and I also think it's hypocritical, we can offend anyone, but we must never offend a treacherous minister like Shen Jinchen! My dear brother, you must listen to my advice and not go astray."
Seeing that Cen Xi agreed, Wen Qiyu chuckled, then put his arm around Cen Xi's shoulder and started rambling on and on, giving Cen Xi no chance to speak.
Cen Xi was both annoyed and amused. This kid described Shen Gou as if he were the best in the world, little did he know that Cen Xi had already seen someone even more formidable than Shen Jinchen.
Oh no, she should have seen him on TV. She remembered that at the end of the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang became famous in one battle, and his sharp tongue made a great Confucian scholar on the enemy vomit blood on the spot.
Cen Xi thought with a wicked sense of humor, "No matter how capable that scoundrel is, he can't compare to Zhuge Liang, the most famous prime minister in Chinese history."
It's incomparable. Putting everything else aside, just in terms of damage output, he's miles behind. His opponent could kill someone on the spot, while he could only let his opponent die quietly in the mansion. Is there any comparison?
Seeing that he still looked like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, Wen Qiyu immediately became anxious and interrupted again:
"Don't disbelieve me, Prime Minister Shen is cunning. The current Grand Banquet Court is his personal fiefdom. Those corrupt officials and shrewd schemers have all been subdued by him, according to my father. You're just a poor scholar, you absolutely cannot go head-to-head with him."
“No, with your current attitude, you might just anger Prime Minister Shen for no reason after you find him. I can’t let you go to your death today. Here’s what we’ll do: go back and rest first. I’ll apologize to Prime Minister Shen on your behalf later. Just copy the ‘Standards for Being a Good Student and Child’ when you get back and hand it to the Prime Minister before class tomorrow.”
After saying the first part, Wen Qiyu muttered the second part to herself. Before Cen Xi could react, she was pushed far away.
Cen Xi didn't want to see that bastard, so she moved forward along with her body:
“Alright! I do feel very awkward copying books in the Prime Minister’s room. Brother Wen is right. Then I will trouble you to speak on my behalf to Prime Minister Shen.”
"Yes, I am deeply moved to have your trust, my brother. Go ahead, don't worry about the rest, I will take care of it for you."
With her delicate features, Wen Qiyu nodded solemnly, and then solemnly agreed to Cen Xi's request.
"Let's go!"
Cen Xi gave him a meaningful look, took a few steps, and Wen Qiyu waved before disappearing into the corridor.
As she walked down the street, she couldn't help but sigh:
"What incredible luck she had today! Not only did she run into a scumbag, but she also met the first customer she ever went to a brothel with, and this guy seems quite interesting."
...
After Cen Xi left, Wen Qiyu paced back and forth, intending to walk towards Shen Jinchen's courtyard, but then, as if remembering something, he hurriedly headed towards the south side of the academy.
After that… as for explaining to Shen Jinchen why Cen Xi didn’t go, his brain capacity was insufficient, and he probably couldn’t remember.
Meanwhile, inside Shen Jinchen's courtyard—or rather, his inner room—the master of the house had already undressed and was sitting in the bathtub, his face flushed from the hot water.
After waiting for a long time without the beauty arriving, a cold, clear voice rang out:
"Fengqin, has she arrived?"
"Young Master, she was originally going to come, but she left after talking with Young Master Wen for a while on the way."
Fengqin stood outside the screen, embellished Shangse's complaints, and told them to Shen Jinchen, while inwardly mocking his young master.
My lord, didn't you say you'd let go? Look at you, it's only been a few days, and you're already thinking about that woman again. Are you trying to seduce her with this scene today?
It's a pity you pride yourself on being smart, but how could you have foreseen that a "Cheng Yaojin" would suddenly appear out of nowhere? And this "Cheng Yaojin" is the one who deals with all kinds of dissent.
Why is Wen Qiyu at Qingshan Academy?
Shen Jinchen had previously spent all his energy searching for the hidden forces in Shangyang City and figuring out how to bring that woman into his arms, so he wouldn't care about a nobody second son of the Wen family.
"Reporting to the young master, he ran away from his arranged marriage. According to his servant, he ran away from his arranged marriage but didn't know where to go. Fearing that he would starve to death, he went to Shangyang City to seek refuge with Confucian scholar Wen."
Feng Qin stood respectfully outside the screen, responding to Shen Jinchen's words.
After that day, Fengqin noticed that their young master was in a low mood, and since she had made a big mistake, she dared not approach him to serve him. However, for some reason, the young master not only did not punish her after that day, but even allowed her to serve him closely.
Fengqin couldn't figure out what Shen Jinchen was thinking, so she served him with trepidation every day, and today was no exception.
"I seem to have heard that this young master Wen likes snakes. Tonight, you all need to work hard and catch a hundred snakes to put in his room so that he can have a taste."
Shen Jinchen's voice from behind the screen was unreadable, but his words clearly indicated that he was angry.
