Chapter 1880 Chen Qiu Wants to Ask Meng Yunzheng for Help
Xun Sheng sighed helplessly, “Miss Chen, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. The Princess of Wen’an and your father already have a personal feud, and now your father… I’m just a scholar, at most I have the title of Xiucai, there’s really nothing I can do.”
He did know some classmates with connections, but if Chen Bing really committed a crime, he wouldn't make things difficult for them.
Chen Qiu raised her head. "No, Brother Xun, you have a way."
Xun Sheng himself was puzzled, "What method do I have?"
“Yes, it’s that Young Master Meng,” Chen Qiu said. “Don’t you and Young Master Meng have a connection? Didn’t you say that he’s currently working for Lord Qi and is highly regarded by him? When we arrive at the government office, it will be Lord Qi who will be presiding over the case. You, you can find someone to talk to Young Master Meng and ask him to say a few words to the Lord on his behalf.”
Chen Qiu happened to see Xun Sheng and Meng Yunzheng talking. Meng Yunzheng was leading a group of soldiers out of the government office. He looked very imposing, and it was obvious that he must be someone of extraordinary status.
To her surprise, Xun Sheng actually knew Meng Yunzheng. The two met at the entrance of the government office and chatted for a few minutes.
Judging from their expressions at the time, they were clearly old acquaintances.
Chen Qiu later asked Xun Sheng a couple of questions, and Xun Sheng just sighed and said, "He is the same scholar who passed the county-level examination last year, just like me. It's a pity that I came in third place, while he came in first. He is capable and is now a favorite of Lord Qi. His future is very bright."
Xun Sheng's eyes revealed envy at that moment.
Chen Qiu thought to himself, "That scholar Meng has a bright future ahead of him, and Xun Sheng, who is on good terms with him, will surely do well in the future too, since they are classmates."
Later, after she returned home, she even told her father, Chen Bing, that she had chosen the right man this time.
Chen Bing was very happy and gave her some money, telling her not to be stingy when she was out and about and to buy more cosmetics to dress up.
Therefore, now that Chen Bing is in trouble, he quickly thought of that favorite of Lord Qi.
Only then did Chen Qiu plead with Xun Sheng.
To everyone's surprise, Xun Sheng choked up after hearing her words, his expression becoming extremely complicated.
Chen Qiu thought he was unwilling, and her expression became even more pitiful. "Brother Xun, please, just one sentence, please mention it to Young Master Meng."
Seeing Xun Sheng's soft-hearted look, his classmate couldn't help but nudge him—he couldn't agree to that; such connections should be used at crucial moments, and absolutely not wasted here.
Xun Sheng rubbed his temples and sighed heavily. He said to Chen Qiu, "Miss Chen, it's not that I don't want to help you, but... but that Young Master Meng is the fiancé of the Princess of Wen'an."
Classmate, "..." Holy crap, Chen Bing is really doomed.
Chen Qiu stopped in his tracks, looking at Xun Sheng in disbelief. "What did you say?!"
“Princess Wen’an is Young Master Meng’s fiancée. That’s why I know her.”
Chen Qiu's gaze remained fixed, fixed on the procession that was receding further and further into the distance.
Xun Sheng looked at Chen Qiu with pity and helplessness. “Miss Chen, please calm down. Although this Young Master Meng has a close relationship with the Princess of Wen’an, as far as I know, Young Master Meng is an upright and honest person who will not cover up wrongdoings. So don’t worry, as long as your father really didn’t do it, I believe he will be fine.”
His classmate glanced at him and asked, "Really? Are you sure?"
