After Su Juan finished speaking, she looked at Shen Ruhui steadily, without avoiding Xie Xun. He was the eldest son of the Duke of Pingguo, and one day, she would pull him into the same boat, so now she should let him know what he wanted to do.

However, she found that only Shen Ruhui was a little surprised, while Xie Xun did not react much, as if he knew her plan from the beginning.

【？ 】

[What's Xie Xun's reaction? Is he not surprised at all by what I said? ]

Xie Xun looked at her with amusement. If it was when they just met last year, he might really be surprised, but it was already a certain time now. He didn't know what she was thinking. Even if she said now that she wanted to compete for the throne of the second emperor, there was nothing to be surprised about.

only......

Xie Xun raised his eyebrows frivolously. He didn't expect that Su Juan would trust me so much.

She told Shen Ruhui that it was because she wanted to win Shen Ruhui over to work for her. If she needed a counselor, Shen Ruhui would certainly be the most suitable person.

But she didn't guard against me at all and just let me listen like that. Wasn't she worried that I would tell her about it the next day?

Shen Ruhui still had a trace of doubt in his heart, and thought of what Liu Xuan said, Liu Xuan's vision has always been excellent, and he has never misjudged anyone.

For so many years, he has been stuck in trouble, thinking that he would end up like his father, frustrated and unhappy, but now someone has extended an olive branch to him.

He wanted to give it a try, whether out of his own ambition to enter officialdom or because he agreed with what Su Juan had just said. He believed that the world should belong to everyone in the world, and should not be controlled by high-ranking officials who played power games.

In such a chaotic situation, no one can really stay out of it. If his strengths can be helpful in resolving the situation, Shen Ruhui will naturally be willing to contribute.

Thinking of this, Shen Ruhui's eyes were calm and firm. "Miss Su has great ambitions, and I admire you. Although I am a humble person, I am willing to do my part for the people of the world and help Miss Su relieve her worries."

Su Juan heaved a sigh of relief, "Fortunately he agreed. I was worried that my promise was too big, and I would be in trouble if Shen Ruhui didn't accept it."

【Luckily, he was very hungry. 】

Xie Xun: “…” Just now, seeing Su Juan’s confident look and tone, I thought she was absolutely sure that she could recruit Shen Ruhui into her team.

Now it seems that she was just being reckless, saying sweet words to coax people into doing things for her until they were confused.

Su Juan opened the task panel and took a look. Shen Ruhui's progress was more than half completed. She immediately smiled and raised her glass, "Mr. Shen, I will use tea instead of wine to toast you."

[I didn't expect Shen Ruhui to be the easiest to deal with. Today is such a good day! ]

The moment Shen Ruhui picked up the cup, he looked at Xie Xun, "Brother Xie, don't you want to join us?"

Xie Xun raised his glass without knowing what was going on. Looking at Shen Ruhui's attitude towards him, it was obvious that he thought he was in the same group as Su Juan. He suddenly felt like he was being dragged onto a pirate ship.

Su Juan looked at Xie Xun, her eyes flashing with cunning, [Everyone is on board, how far can Xie Xun, the little playboy, be? ]

No matter what Xie Xun thinks, just get people on board first. As for the tickets, we can buy them later. There is plenty of time anyway.

Xie Xun was silent: I really have gotten on a pirate ship.

That night, Su Juan returned to her own yard. Xie Xun and Shen Ruhui were drinking in the yard. The two drunkards got together and they had similar interests.

"When I first met Miss Su, I thought she was just a little girl who loved to read romance novels. I never thought she had such lofty ambitions. Writing about her in the novels is really an insult to Miss Su."

Shen Ru sighed, "I underestimated women."

Xie Xun waved his hands, looking a little drunk, "There's nothing wrong with what you wrote in the storybook. The only thing you wrote about Master Hang is correct!"

Shen Ruhui was surprised, "Really?"

Xie Xun narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be false?"

When Shen Ruhui saw Xie Xun in front of him, he recalled the attitude of Duke Ping towards Su Juan in the past few days. The Xie family was so good to Miss Su that he couldn't help but wonder if there was any connection between the Xie family and Su Juan that others didn't know about.

Shen Ruhui's eyes flickered, and he put down the wine jar. "I see that you and the Duke are both very concerned about Miss Su. Could it be that Miss Su is a relative of your Xie family?"

His test immediately sobered Xie Xun up a lot.

"Haha, isn't it because the old man has been talking about wanting a daughter? Look, he treats Su Juan as his daughter."

Xie Xun was talking and drinking at the same time. He looked at Shen Ruhui and laughed, but he was shrewd in his heart.

He didn't know where the flaw was, and Shen Ruhui actually became suspicious and tested him in this way.

Seeing Xie Xun's reaction, Shen Ruhui not only did not dispel the doubts in his heart, but became more suspicious of the relationship between Su Juan and the Xie family.

Even if a Duke wanted a daughter, he would not go to this extent. Just building the courtyard consumed a lot of manpower and resources.

However, Xie Xun's remarks alone have huge flaws.

At this time, Su Juan had no idea that Shen Ruhui had already suspected her identity. She was wondering who would take over after the incident with Minister Lou of the Ministry of Justice. Logically speaking, if the current Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice could handle the Lu family extermination case well, he would have no problem getting promoted.

But the key point is that Song Qianfan will definitely not miss this opportunity and will definitely ask the Ministry of Personnel to strongly recommend his own people.

Su Juan remembered that Li Quan, who was then the chief of the Ministry of Justice, was his man.

In her impression, Li Quan was not a good person.

While Su Juan was planning to attack the Ministry of Justice, Duke Ping was also preparing a backup plan. Once Minister Lou was convicted, Marquis Ping would go out and strongly recommend the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice. The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice had been rooted in the Ministry of Justice for many years and was the perfect candidate.

This person has a very bad temper and hates extremely treacherous and evil people the most. He is a loyal minister who only follows the orders of Your Majesty. No matter whether the King of Han wants to win him over or the King of Jing is on the side, it is impossible.

...

The next day when she went to court, Su Juan was particularly energetic and greeted her colleagues proactively. However, when she saw the Minister of War, she held her breath and walked away quickly, as if she was disgusted.

The Minister of War smiled on the surface, but secretly cursed Su Juan in his heart.

A gust of wind blew by, carrying an indescribable smell. Many ministers raised their sleeves to cover their mouths and noses. "What's going on?"

"Where does the stench come from..."

The Minister of War had a strange look on his face and moved to the side to avoid the wind.

Su Juan also smelled it with disgust, [It stinks so bad, this Minister of War must have not taken a shower in how many days! ]

【No one else can be so smelly. 】

All eyes were immediately cast towards the Minister of War in the corner. If Su Juan hadn't said anything, no one would have noticed it. But recently, they always smelled a faint stench when they went to court, and at first they thought it was an illusion.

Many people moved away from the Minister of War, looking at him with some disdain. How many days had it been since Minister Nie had a shower?

How can a person be so despicable! ?
