Chapter 149 The Hidden Man Behind the Scenes



The prince's smile did not reach his eyes, which made Shen Yuerong even more uncomfortable.

She looked at the man in front of her, wondering if he could be trusted.

"Why? Miss Shen is standing here and not leaving. Are you afraid that I won't fulfill my promise?"

"No, it's just that I'm a little curious about how the Crown Prince is going to deal with those two people in the General's Mansion."

"Who from the General's Mansion?"

The prince looked up, his eyes full of confusion, as if he didn't understand what the person in front of him was saying at all.

"It's all right."

Shen Yuerong took a step back, "Prince, just pretend that I never asked this question."

She bowed and turned to leave. After leaving the Prince's Mansion, she entered the Prince's Palace again.

Chi Mu had known for a long time that she was asking the prince for help for the Shen family's shop, so his face looked a little bad. Now that he saw her coming, he refused to even look at her.

"Still angry!"

He did not speak, but Shen Yuerong sat beside him.

"If I don't go to ask the prince for help, how can those innocent people survive? The grudge between you and him should not involve other people in the Shen family."

"Tell me, I have a solution."

The reason he was angry was because Shen Yuerong thought of asking the prince for help, but didn't think of asking him for help.

"Chi Mu, you just returned to the capital to control the flood. Although you have received a lot of honor and favor, I can see that His Majesty seems to be somewhat dissatisfied."

"You figured it out?"

No one in the court noticed this, so he naturally thought that Shen Yuerong didn't care about it.

"I didn't care at first. Even when I spoke up for you in the court that day, I didn't think it was a big deal. It wasn't until these few days that I met a lot of people for the Shen family's shop and experienced the ways of the world."

She looked at him, "The Chamber of Commerce in the capital is not a one-man show for the prince. The people in the Chamber of Commerce know how much weight the Shen family's shop plays in the business, but they still refuse to pass the Shen family's shop. We need to talk to more important people."

"One of the heads of the Chamber of Commerce in the capital is the prime minister's lackey, and the other is the prince's confidant. No matter how you look at it, this incident was done by the prince."

Shen Yuerong shook her head, "Don't always blame the prince."

"You mean, the prince wants to avoid me?"

She agreed.

"If the prince wants to avoid my edge, but he snatched the two beauties from the general's mansion from me, he can only retreat. At this time, he dare not threaten the Shen family's shop. The only person he can threaten is the prime minister, and behind the prime minister is the emperor."

When Chi Mu thought about this, he felt a little scared. He didn't expect that His Majesty was so unspeakable. He almost followed his path.

"Yes, I didn't understand why the prince wanted to rescue the prisoner at first. After all, the two people in the general's mansion would never easily tell the prince about it, even for the future of the general's mansion and their children. They would only take all the blame on themselves. But why did he have to do it outside the palace?"

No one knew that the General's Mansion had once been the Prince's assistant.

If the people in the General's Mansion want to survive, they must not mention Fu Hengyu. He was once a retainer of the prince.

"It's your Majesty, it's your Majesty who is forcing the prince to take action!"

The prince has always been afraid of His Majesty, and he is even more afraid of him finding out everything he has done.

"He first used his men to fan the flames in front of the prince, letting him know that you and I already knew the truth. In order to protect himself, he had to kill you and me, so there was the assassination on Chang Street and the arrangement in front of the Shen Mansion."

"The arrangement in front of the Shen Mansion? Why have I never heard you mention it to me?"

Chi Mu nervously held Shen Yuerong's hand.

The latter shook his head.

"You just came back, I don't know how many things must have entangled you to make your head dizzy, why worry about my affairs, but fortunately, I didn't want to leave that day and stayed at the Shen family, otherwise your confidant and I would have died at the doorstep."

That was after the third day.

She found some traces at the door and realized that someone also wanted to kill her.

"I asked the guards at the door of Aunt Qiang's house."

Shen Yuerong shook her head. "If there are so many guards at the door of a commoner like me, it will make people think that I am trying to cover up something. Besides, the prince will not target me now."

"How do you know? The prince will never show mercy if I confront him."

"Because the prince knows who his real enemy is?"

Shen Yuerong's words made him a little dazed, and he couldn't tell for a moment.

"Are you saying that the prince will directly target His Majesty?"

Shen Yuerong couldn't grasp the prince's heart, but now the trap had been set, she didn't know whether the prince would take action.

"I just... did some tricks. The prince should have received the gift I gave him by now. I just don't know if he will follow the path I gave him."

Chi Mu looked at the woman in front of him, "You seem to have changed a lot?"

At present, she is very similar to the women who were raised in the capital. She has a gentle temperament, elegant manners, and will never scheme against others.

"I don't want to scheme against others, and I don't even want to get involved, but they didn't give me a chance to live!"

The Shen family shop paid a large sum of money in compensation before it was given the opportunity to reopen.

Boss Xu looked at Shen Yuerong apologetically.

"It's all my fault for not checking myself. I caused such a big disaster to my family for no reason and spent so much money. I really failed your trust."

Shen Yuerong looked at the amount on the account and found that she didn't lose much, so she handed the account to Boss Xu.

"Boss Xu, don't be so modest. I've handed this shop over to you. I've been away for half a year, but I didn't expect the turnover to be one or two times higher than when I was here."

“This is not yet…”

Shen Yuerong thinks highly of him. "I have always valued talents. I trust people when I employ them, and I don't employ people if I don't trust them. Boss Xu really gave me a huge surprise."

"Boss."

Chen Yuerong asked Qinghua to bring her special seal. "In order to support the General's Mansion, I was concerned about establishing these five shops. Now the other things on my hands are a bit heavy, and I can't concentrate now. I wonder if you can let me manage it."

"The boss wants to let me take full charge of the shop?"

Shen Yuerong nodded.

In the future, the disputes between the prince and him will only increase.

Even though the prince knew that His Majesty was the instigator behind all the disputes, he would only be pushed around and continue to aggravate the conflict between the two of them.

As the woman next to Chi Mu, she knew. The days will only get busier by the day.

Sooner or later the Shen family's shop will be unable to be taken care of, and will instead be in trouble because of her and Chi Mu.

"If the boss trusts me, I will certainly not let him down..."
