Chapter 1877 Xun Sheng's Relationship with the Chen Family
Everyone in the courtyard looked shocked, as if they were hallucinating.
But Xun Sheng's respectful demeanor was so clear that even his classmate standing next to him was stunned. It took him a while to react. He tugged at Xun Sheng's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "What did you call her just now?"
“The Princess of Wen’an.” Xun Sheng straightened up and introduced her to everyone, “This is the Princess of Wen’an who was recently bestowed the title by His Majesty.”
Xun Sheng was the student who passed the imperial examination for the title of Xiucai last year, along with Meng Yunzheng. At that time, Meng Yunzheng ranked first and Xun Sheng ranked third.
At that time, Shu Yu, Meng Yunzheng, and the abbot of Dongqing Temple, whom they had finally found, were having dinner at Yuelai Restaurant, where Xun Sheng was staying. As a result, Xun Sheng recognized Meng Yunzheng's carriage parked downstairs and hurriedly went upstairs to exchange knowledge with Meng Yunzheng.
Shu Yu met Xun Sheng in the private room back then.
Although they only met once, they were both deeply impressed by each other.
At that time, Xun Sheng knew that Meng Yunzheng's fiancée was a local noblewoman, and that the heated pack was invented and presented by her.
After that, Xun Sheng stayed in Changjin Prefecture to study at the prefectural school. He was originally going to return to his hometown before the New Year, but the city was in chaos, so he simply didn't leave.
Since they were all students, their goal in passing the imperial examinations was to pursue a career in government. Their prefectural school always paid close attention to news from within the city, and they discussed Chenggu County, which had been the first to suffer, daily.
Therefore, Xun Sheng was very well-informed. He knew who the new magistrate of Chenggu County was, and he also knew who the newly appointed Lady Wen'an was. Naturally, he knew that this Lady was the former Lady Lu.
To be honest, Xun Sheng admired her.
Just now, after he followed Chen Qiu into the room, his gaze was drawn to Lu Sanzhu, who was dressed the most elegantly and seemed to be the most capable. Shu Yu, who was standing behind him, was a young lady. Xun Sheng, being a scholar, considered himself a gentleman and naturally did not want to stare at a young lady, so he did not recognize her.
He never expected that the one who assaulted him was actually the Lady of Wen'an County.
Although Xun Sheng found reading somewhat dull, he was not the kind of person who was inflexible or ignorant of human relationships.
Since the other party was a county magistrate, he naturally couldn't treat her with a forceful attitude anymore.
Moreover, he also had doubts in his heart: why would the Princess of Wen'an, with her status and position, make things difficult for Uncle Chen for no reason?
Thinking of this, Xun Sheng turned to look at Chen Bing.
But at this moment, Chen Bing and everyone else present were all pale-faced and looked dazed.
The onlookers were even more incredulous, and now their gazes toward the Chen family were filled with a sense of alienation.
This is the county magistrate! If the Chen family offends the county magistrate, they will definitely suffer more than just a beating.
Moreover, even an ordinary person would find it unbearable that Chen Bing did such an outrageous thing to the county magistrate's aunt.
Xun Sheng looked around silently. Seeing that the Chen family still didn't react, he hesitated for a while before finally asking, "Your Highness, I wonder what mistake the Chen family made that made you so angry?"
Instead of answering, Shu Yu asked, "I wonder what the relationship is between Scholar Xun and the Chen family?"
"I……"
Before Xun Sheng could answer, his classmate quickly interjected, "Your Highness, Miss Chen saved Brother Xun before the New Year, so she can be considered your benefactor. That's why I came to check on you after hearing that the Chen family was in trouble."
This classmate clearly wanted Xun Sheng to keep his distance from the Chen family.
