Chapter 257: Be a Man of Integrity



Chen Chenchuan stood there, his handsome face full of longing and confusion.

"Aunt, is what you just said true?"

Shen Yuerong reached out and rubbed his head, her tone extremely gentle.

"Aunt will never leave you again. Even if I go out for something, the people in the mansion will do their best to protect you."

"But I hope you can protect yourself. When your aunt grows old, you can protect me and everyone around you."

In fact, Shen Yuerong said this on purpose, just to give Shen Chenchuan a sense of belief.

Shen Yuerong never needs anyone to protect her because she has enough ability to protect herself.

The dusk gradually faded away and everything around was gray.

Despite this, the servants nearby lit lanterns, and the bright lights illuminated the darkness of the palace, as well as Shen Yuerong and Shen Chenchuan.

Shen Yuerong handed the medicine to Shen Chenchuan.

"You are no longer a child. You should know what you should and should not do."

"Drink it."

At that moment, Shen Chenchuan didn't hesitate at all, picked up the medicine and drank it.

After drinking the medicine, Shen Yuerong looked at Shen Chenchuan with a smile.

"Chenchen, no matter what happens in the future, I hope you will live tenaciously and bravely, be a man of integrity throughout your life, and be the pillar of our Shen family."

"Not for others, but for yourself, can you do it?"

Shen Chenchuan stood there in dark clothes, and the dark and gloomy light that originally enveloped his body was instantly lit up at this moment.

He smiled.

"Aunt, don't worry, I will never let you down."

Afterwards, Shen Yuerong arranged for Shen Chenchuan to live in the front yard, found a teacher to teach him, and also found a man with great martial arts skills to be his master.

She had also visited him several times, and it seemed as if Shen Chenchuan had grown up a lot overnight. He would sit upright at his desk and read seriously, and would do horse stance seriously at every turn of the year.

Shen Yuerong showed a satisfied smile, turned around and left the palace and came to Cangyue Tower.

This street is very prosperous and bustling, but the Cang Yue Tower has closed down and looks a bit desolate.

But now it is a two-story building. If it is turned into a medical clinic, it will have a simple pharmacy downstairs and a place for pulse diagnosis and treatment upstairs.

She was very satisfied with Cang Yue Tower, but she also had some doubts in her heart.

Logically speaking, with such a good location, you can make money just by doing small business, let alone a restaurant.

Why did Cang Yue Tower suddenly close down?

Shen Yuerong's eyes stayed on Chi Mu and she asked curiously.

"I wonder why Cang Yue Tower closed down?"

Chi Mu smiled gently and replied, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you. The previous owner of the Chuan Chuan Building had some problems and offended someone in the royal family, so he couldn't continue running the business, and it was transferred to my hands."

"I just thought that you were looking for a tavern location these days, and it would be perfect for you."

Shen Yuerong raised her eyebrows slightly, unable to resist trying to find out.

"I wonder who the previous shopkeeper offended?"

As soon as these words came out, Chi Mu's eyes darkened a little, and then he sighed and said, "To be honest, the previous owner of Cang Yue Tower offended the prince."

Shen Yuerong was stunned for a moment, "How could I offend the prince?"

In her impression, although the prince's actions were vicious, he would not do such a blatant thing.

Chi Mu hesitated for a moment before answering, "Actually, it wasn't the Crown Prince who did it, it was the Crown Prince's Consort."

Hearing her words, Shen Yuerong came back to her senses instantly, wasn't that Fu Hengyue?

She blinked and looked at Chi Mu in front of her, waiting for the next words.

Chi Mu's mouth twitched, and he could only cover it up with another lie.

"That Fu Hengyue wanted to do business with the shopkeeper of Cangyue Tower, but the shopkeeper disagreed and unilaterally banned the entry of dignitaries from the capital."

"At the same time, he found all kinds of people to cause trouble. I had no choice but to let the shopkeeper transfer the business to me. If it were an ordinary person, he wouldn't dare to take it over."

Regarding Chi Mu's words, Shen Yuerong was hesitant about her decision.

Later, he sent people to investigate. It was not that he did not believe Chi Mu, but he always felt that there was another hidden story.

If Fu Hengyue was really being unreasonable, then she couldn't just watch the shopkeeper suffer an unprovoked disaster.

What's more, she didn't want to owe anything to anyone, even if that person was Chi Mu.

"Thank you for your help, my husband. I will pay you the rent for Cang Yue Building as usual."

Seeing Shen Yuerong being so reserved, Chi Mu's jawline tightened, and there was some displeasure in his tone.

"Rong'er, we are husband and wife, there is no need to be so clear."

Shen Yuerong was firm, "Whether it's between husband and wife or between relatives, we must make it clear, otherwise there will be a lawsuit that can't be resolved."

There was no choice but Chi Mu could only agree and then find a way to secretly give the money to Shen Yuerong later.

Then he reached out and touched the bridge of his nose, thinking to himself.

In fact, the matter of Cang Yue Tower is half true and half false.

Fu Hengyue did attack Cangyue Tower, but her methods were not enough to cause any trouble to Cangyue Tower, which had stood for several years. It was just an excuse that Chi Mu found to help Shen Yuerong.

He had a better address in Cang Yue Tower and had wanted to change it before. Now it was just right. On the one hand, he helped Shen Yuerong, and on the other hand, he successfully changed the location. .

After all, Cang Yue Tower had found out too much information before, which caused many people to keep an eye on this place.

Although those people don't know that he is the person behind the scenes, flaws will be revealed in the long run, and Chi Mu doesn't want any flaws to be revealed.

After returning home, Shen Yuerong arranged for Chunhua to investigate the matter thoroughly.

The result is that this thing really happened.

So Shen Yuerong lowered her suspicion and began to prepare medical knowledge.

At this time, the emperor's edict was also issued.

Shen Yuerong knelt at the gate of the palace and listened to the eunuch's sharp recitation, which roughly meant that Concubine Xi would be allowed to live in the palace in her old age, and some valuable items were also rewarded as a reward.

After receiving the imperial edict, Shen Yuerong smiled with curved eyebrows.

If the Queen had not secretly instigated the situation, it would probably not have been so easy for Concubine Xi to leave the palace and live out her days in peace.

Not long after the imperial edict was received, the queen sent a palace maid to speak in a weird manner.

"Princess, our Queen said that you must get along well with Concubine Xi in the future. If you are wronged in any way, you need to be more tolerant. You must not disobey your elders, you must not scheme, and you must not secretly plot against them."

"If discovered, our queen will definitely not let the princess go."

When the palace maid said this, her eyes and eyebrows were full of rebelliousness, and her nostrils were almost raised to the sky.

The Queen's words clearly meant that Shen Yuerong was likely to murder Concubine Xi, as if she was some kind of ruthless person.

When Shen Yuerong heard this, a cold look flashed in her eyes.

If these words were to reach the ears of certain people, they would probably give rise to some groundless rumors.

So Shen Yuerong looked at Qinghua with a cold smile and called out.

"Blue and white."
