Chapter 681: Fourth Master:???
Even though the head of the Shen family was sitting on a chair, he was still supported by the guards around him and bowed deeply to the Fourth Master.
The Fourth Master didn't say a word from beginning to end, his expression didn't change, he just watched coldly.
Wen Jiu could tell at a glance that the Fourth Master was really unhappy at the moment. Although he didn't understand where his anger came from, he still tugged at the Fourth Master's sleeve: "Master..."
The Fourth Master's entire body seemed to be covered in ice, his face was frighteningly cold, and he didn't even have any expression.
The surrounding air temperature suddenly dropped several degrees.
Seeing the Fourth Master's face like this, Shen Congjin naturally didn't dare to get up.
Lord Wang immediately came forward to plead, "Your Majesty, Master Shen is not feeling well. How about letting him get up?"
Master Xu did not refute for the first time in a long time, and said: "You see, it's freezing outside, and Master Shen has always been weak..."
As he spoke, he secretly winked at the Fourth Master.
Speaking of which, Lord Xu was also a little anxious.
The prince had just entered the court to participate in politics when the emperor assigned him to the Ministry of Revenue.
Speaking of which, Lord Xu also has some understanding of this prince. He is a stubborn person.
The prince really couldn't lose his temper at this time.
As the saying goes, one should be grateful to those who have helped him.
The Shen family leader was so generous that he donated one million taels without hesitation. Even the emperor would surely appreciate this. Naturally, the court would want as much as possible for such a thing. Why would they bother someone at this critical moment?
"Master..."
Wenjiu tugged at the Fourth Master's sleeve again.
The Fourth Master still pursed his lips and said nothing, but Wenjiu could see that his attitude had softened a little.
Then he smiled and said, "...Brother Shen, please don't be polite. The prince's face is a little cold, but he is always like this. Brother Shen, please don't mind."
Shen Congjin's expression became even more strange when he heard Wen Jiu's words. His gaze shifted back and forth between the Fourth Young Master and the Fourth Prince. He couldn't see clearly what the relationship between the two was.
"Why don't you help him up?"
Bu Yan was also a little confused at this moment. He never expected that the former concubine would appear here.
If his master had not recognized him first, he would even suspect that this man was the concubine's twin brother.
The concubine's disguise as a man was too real. An ordinary woman pretending to be a man would reveal her voice, beard, and pierced ears. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance.
But their concubine looked just like a teenager at first glance. Then there was her noble and dignified demeanor. It felt disrespectful to think of her as a woman...
Hearing Wenjiu's instructions in a trance, Bu Yan subconsciously did as she said.
After taking two steps, he came to his senses and immediately turned around carefully to look at his master.
It was a close call. The master, just like when he was at home, didn't even glance at him. This was the meaning of tacit consent.
He breathed a sigh of relief and immediately went forward to help the head of the Shen family up.
The Shen family head's expression was even more strange: "Thank you, Your Highness."
The Fourth Master still frowned and said nothing.
Wen Jiu blinked twice: "Brother Shen, didn't you say you had something else to do? The prince and I will be traveling together later, so there's no need to trouble Brother Shen to see me off."
Shen Congjin calmly glanced at Wenjiu and the Fourth Master's arms, then nodded: "In that case, Shen will take his leave."
As he spoke, he bowed again and left with everyone.
Wen Jiu subconsciously glanced at Nian Gengyao beside him. He just smiled and left with Shen Congjin. He never revealed his identity from beginning to end and did not say a word to the Fourth Master.
Hmm... Could it be that Nian Gengyao hasn't hooked up with the Fourth Master yet?
"What are you looking at? Everyone has disappeared." The Fourth Master saw that Wenjiu was still looking and couldn't help but grit his teeth.
Wen Jiu turned around in a daze and saw the Fourth Master squinting at him, his face as black as charcoal.
Wen Jiu said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Master, what are you angry about? I didn't mean not to wait for you. You're too late. If I had waited for you, the auction would have ended."
The Fourth Master ignored him again, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Lord Wang looked over in confusion, looked at the warm wine, then looked at the Fourth Master, and couldn't help but say, "This must be the Fourth Master, one of the two most outstanding people in the capital. I've heard of him for a long time."
As he said this, he greeted Wenjiu with a smile.
Wenjiu also laughed, but before he could say anything, the Fourth Master pulled him behind him.
At this moment, everyone was stunned by the Fourth Master's scene.
The two adults couldn't help but be surprised at this moment: "...The Fourth Young Master and the Prince know each other?"
Wenjiu poked his head out from behind the Fourth Master and winked playfully, "Of course I know him. Didn't you two forget that we just met yesterday?"
Wenjiu returned to his usual voice.
The two adults were a little confused at this moment. They looked at each other and couldn't recover for a long time.
Wen Jiu: "The mansion held the one-year-old ceremony yesterday."
As soon as these words came out, Master Xu was the first to react and slapped his thigh: "You are... you are... a concubine!"
Lord Wang was also confused. He stared at Wenjiu for a long time without saying a word.
Lord Xu looked at the Fourth Master for a long moment, then bowed deeply. "Your Highness, your strategic planning is such that I admire you deeply."
Lord Xu was full of admiration: "It turns out that the prince has always been aware of this and has already sent his concubine to take care of the matter early on.
No wonder the Shen family's Patriarch was so happy to donate money."
As Lord Xu spoke, he looked at Wen Jiu with admiration: "Concubine, you are so courageous and insightful that I admire you. If you were truly a man, your future would be limitless."
Wen Jiu must have been a bit confused: "Ah? This... I don't know."
As he spoke, Wenjiu looked at the Fourth Master with confusion on his face, still not quite sure what was going on.
"There's no need to be so modest, Concubine." Lord Wang also said, "Mr. Xu is right. If a Concubine is a man, his future is truly limitless. Who could have imagined that the fourth son of the capital, a renowned young master, would actually be a Concubine?"
As he spoke, Lord Wang couldn't help laughing again: "If the girls in the capital knew that the Fourth Young Master was a woman, I wonder what would happen."
"etc……"
The Fourth Master was so busy drinking that he kept calling others "Big Brother." Now that he had come to his senses, the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong.
"Fourth Young Master?"
After saying this, he suddenly lowered his head and looked towards Wen Jiu: "Fourth Young Master!"
Wenjiu: “…Uh…yes.”
Her grandfather's face looked a little strange, and he looked at Bu Yan as if asking for help.
Without saying a word: "..."
He wanted to explain to the concubine, but how should he say it?
Suddenly I understand my master a little bit.
The person I spent a lot of time and money looking for for half a year is actually the one I sleep with...
What's going on? Is God playing a joke on us?
At this moment, the Fourth Master looked at Heifeng's face in disbelief.
Heifeng: "...Master, yes, it's the Fourth Young Master we've been looking for..."
Considering that I found it before my master...it shouldn't be considered dereliction of duty, right?
