Cen Xi was unable to speak and could only stare blankly at the scoundrel in front of her.
Shen Jinchen watched her eyes darting around, and then spoke again:
“Let’s talk. If you’re willing to talk, just blink.”
Cen Xi looked up at the ceiling, closed her eyes for a while, and finally realized that she had to get out of the clutches of the devil before she could think about what would happen next.
Then he turned and winked at Shen Jinchen.
Shen Jinchen understood and raised his hand, releasing a burst of internal energy from his fingertips.
Cen Xi's speech impediment has been relieved.
"Did you hold back during our first fight? Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to easily pull down your pants."
Cen Xi felt that all the evil originated from the Heng Prince's Mansion. If she hadn't gone to the Heng Prince's Mansion, how could she have gotten involved with this scoundrel?
I don't know what kind of dog that Emperor Taizu was; of all places, why did he have to have a birthmark on a man's private area?
When the topic of their first meeting came up, Shen Jinchen looked a little embarrassed. He had never had such an experience in his entire life.
"No, I just forgot to use acupressure to control you at the time. You are very strong, there is no doubt about that."
Shen Jinchen took a sip of tea and composed himself before speaking.
"Forget it, I don't want to ask anything else. I just want to ask one thing: how can you let me go?"
Cen Xi originally had a lot of questions, but she couldn't bring herself to say them. Anyway, her current goal was freedom, and everything else was irrelevant.
"If you promise me you won't run away again and you come back to the capital with me, I will release you."
Looking at the woman on the bed who could stir his heart, Shen Jinchen felt a tightness in his chest. He had never imagined that he would have to lower himself to a woman when he was in power or in the countryside.
"What would I do if I went back to the capital with you? Become your Prime Minister's wife?"
Cen asked with a smile.
"That's perfectly acceptable!"
Shen Jinchen thought that he was only interested in the woman in front of him in his life, and he couldn't be bothered to look at anyone else. He was willing to marry her and make her the Prime Minister's wife, since he could control her.
“Prime Minister Shen, you may not know this, but I was married before and was taken into the household of a wealthy family as a concubine for a few days. Do you think a woman like me is worthy of you? Let’s not hurt each other, okay? Back in Yucheng, we just made a mistake.”
"Look, you touched me, and I touched you. We're even now. I won't hold your two subsequent offenses, including this one, against you. From now on, just pretend you never saw me. You can go back to being your powerful minister, and I'll be my mountain king, how about that?"
"A woman with such a bad reputation as me would truly tarnish your illustrious name. If you were to marry me, I guarantee you would be laughed at to death by the powerful and influential people in the capital."
"Wouldn't that be a losing proposition?"
Cen Xi thought that since direct confrontation wouldn't work, she would try to reason with him. If reasoning failed, she would resort to crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide. She was determined to cause enough trouble until he would finally give up on her.
“Tell me who those two families you married are, and I will make sure they die a horrible death. Don’t even think about escaping me.”
After Cen Xi finished speaking, she instantly felt the temperature around her had dropped to near zero.
This scoundrel's temper changes like a raging storm. After saying that, he scooped up Cen Xi and shut her up, using a forceful and domineering approach to make Cen Xi's body go limp in his arms.
"You're being hypocritical. You've already fallen for them, but you still won't admit it?"
After kissing her enough, Shen Jinchen picked Cen Xi up and carried her to sit in his lap.
Cen Xi sensed that the other person's restless part was about to move, and she was gradually losing control. So she breathed a couple of times and then took the initiative to press her lips to Shen Jinchen's.
"Remember to pay me 100,000 taels of gold afterward; I can't let you sleep with me for nothing."
The two were like dry wood meeting a raging fire, kissing passionately. Shen Jinchen had somehow managed to release all of Cen Xi's pressure points.
Just as Shen Jinchen was about to do something, Cen Xi whispered something sweet in his ear.
This caused him to immediately stop what he was doing, stand up and sit up, and the ripples in the room disappeared without a trace.
His aura instantly turned cold.
What do you take me for?
"A client of prostitutes, what else could it be?"
Cen Xi looked at him in astonishment as he went crazy.
"You woman..."
Enraged, Shen Jinchen jumped up, dressed quickly, and ran out of the inner room in a panic.
Cen Xi...
Cen Xi stared at the sky speechlessly. What did she take him for? Wasn't what he just did the kind of thing a client of a prostitute would do? Was she wrong?
I don't think so, right?
Well, since she's not doing any work, why doesn't she take advantage of this opportunity to run away?
So she found her own clothes, put them on haphazardly, and with a light touch of her martial arts skills, she left Shen Jinchen's courtyard.
Shang Se watched her leave with his own eyes, but he couldn't defeat her, so he could only go find the young master who had run away.
Cen Xi ran wildly until she found a farmhouse, snatched the clothes that the man had hung out to dry in the yard, put them on, and left.
She disguised herself as a man and went straight into the city. She couldn't go back to Feifeng Mountain; that scoundrel would definitely go to Feifeng Mountain to catch her after he couldn't find her.
So she should just go back to the Wen family, be a son-in-law for a few days, and enjoy a couple of good days. Isn't that a couple of good days?
After taking a cold shower for an hour, Shen Jinchen finally felt relieved of the restlessness in his body.
As soon as he stepped out of the bath, he realized that the woman had probably run away again.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished dressing, Shang Se stood in front of him and said, "Young master, that girl has run away again."
"Never mind, I'll write a letter to Wen Qixi later. We've been here long enough; it's time to get down to business. How are things with the Green-Clad Guards?"
After soaking in cold water for so long, Shen Jinchen's brain has finally returned to normal.
"We've been proceeding according to plan, but the other side seems to have anticipated our actions. We haven't captured any of the important figures."
Shang Se glanced at the scratches on Shen Jinchen's neck and replied seriously.
"No rush. Our people will only be responsible for gathering information. Let His Majesty's Imperial Guards handle the rest. We'll go to Qingshan Academy tomorrow."
Shen Jinchen calmly shook the water off his hair and began to explain his next plan.
"Young master, what identity shall we use to visit Green Mountain Academy tomorrow?"
Shang Se asked again.
“When I came last time, I assumed the identity of a scholar and became a disciple of the great scholar Wen. So tomorrow I will take over that person’s identity.”
Shen Jinchen explained calmly.
"Would you like to take me with you, young master?"
Shangse really wanted to suggest that Fengqin take her along, but she didn't dare to say it.
"You follow me and report any news to me immediately."
Shen Jinchen originally didn't want to bring Se along, but he couldn't be deaf and blind; he had to be fully aware of all the changes in the outside world.
But there were some things he couldn't do himself, so he had to bring Shangse along.
Although his subordinate was somewhat dull, his methods of gathering intelligence were unparalleled.
"Young master, if you write a letter to Young Master Wen, will he send their son-in-law to Qingshan Academy as you request?"
