In less than half an hour.
The news that Qin Yuan and Murong Yanran were playing in public at Lantai had spread throughout Jingzhou.
All of a sudden, the always unknown Qin Yuan, the eldest son of the Qin family, completely solidified his title of gigolo and became a hot topic on the streets.
"Bang!"
The gavel rang.
A storyteller said eloquently, "Dear readers, today we are going to tell a new story, 'The Biography of Qin Shimei'!"
"A year ago, Qin Shimei saw the stunningly beautiful daughter of Ming University Scholar."
"He abandoned his childhood sweetheart, who was already engaged, and won the favor of a beautiful woman. He rose rapidly to become the top scholar in the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"The couple loved each other and had a sweet and happy time together."
"It's a pity that the good times didn't last long."
"Qin Shimei has wasted several months in the Jingzhou government office, achieving nothing and suffering humiliation. He feels that all his ambitions have come to nothing."
"So he reflected on his mistakes, abandoned his first wife, and seduced the lady-in-waiting of His Majesty, Lord Murong, who made great contributions."
"Lord Murong grew up in the palace and has never had any contact with men. How can he resist Qin Shimei's sweet words?"
"I immediately fell in love and helped Qin Shimei rise from an unknown Jingzhou Tongpan to a powerful Zhongshu Sheren!"
"Bang!"
The gavel rang.
The storyteller sighed leisurely, "It is said that thinking of you is like a spring breeze that touches the itch in my heart."
"How could Lord Murong know that he had entrusted his deep affection to such a heartless man..."
"To know what happens next, please wait for the next chapter!"
"Warm reminder: This story is purely fictional. Any similarities are purely coincidental. Do not take it personally. It has nothing to do with the storyteller."
The onlookers: "Another five cents!"
"Sir, am I a few minutes late?"
"I'll give you ten cents, and I beg you to tell me about the next chapter in advance!"
“…”
Qin Shimei's reputation spread throughout Jingzhou!
…
Xie Mansion.
It was that luxurious villa again.
It was still those nine familiar faces, gathered here for an emergency meeting.
Xie Xuan, as usual, took a sip of tea and slowly said, "Everyone, what do you think about the matter of Qin Yuan, the magistrate of Jingzhou?"
Wang Yuan sneered, "This guy is really good at hiding things!"
"I never imagined that the master hiding behind the Empress would be him!"
Shi Qing frowned and retorted, "No...that's not right, Mr. Wang. This matter is very strange. It's too early to draw a conclusion at this time!"
Wang Yuan shook his head and said repeatedly, "Old Shi, please stop being so stubborn. The facts are very clear."
"This Qin Yuan is the hermit master hiding behind the empress!"
"I really underestimated him. He has been lurking in the Jingzhou government office for so long and has only been exposed now."
Shi Qing shook his head, not giving Wang Yuan any face, and refuted: "Old Wang, since he has been hiding for so long and no one has noticed him, why is he exposed now?"
"He continues to lurk in the Jingzhou government office, secretly plotting against us and catching us off guard. Isn't that brilliant?"
"Furthermore, the clerk that my Shi family has planted in Jingzhou Prefecture has reported that Qin Yuan sleeps in the government office all day long."
"He doesn't look like a virtuous person at all..."
He had communicated with Shi Chao this morning.
After some careful analysis, Shi Chao felt that Qin Yuan was a very dangerous person and that this move must have other implications.
But based on his experience.
"Shi Chao bought it instead, the house is close to the imperial city."
Therefore, he judged that Qin Yuan was just an ordinary writer with no talent who could only write articles.
Wang Yuan muttered, "Perhaps it's for the sake of wealth and glory. After all, everything has been done, and we have suffered a lot of losses."
"Since he chose to advise the Empress, it was naturally to leave his name in history."
The two people each hold their own opinions and have their own reasons.
Chen Xi came out to smooth things over and said, "Old Master Shi, Old Master Wang, I think we should still take it seriously."
"Even if Qin Yuan is just a smokescreen thrown by the Empress to confuse the public, we should still focus on winning him over. After all, it's better to be prepared!"
"Therefore, I think we should select a young and beautiful woman from our clan and marry her to show our intention to win her over."
Xie Xuan nodded in agreement, "Mr. Chen is right!"
"Whether Qin Yuan is pretending or not, we shouldn't ignore him."
"We should still try to win them over."
"If he is pretending, then for us, we have gained a brilliant and extraordinary genius, and we can rest easy from now on."
"Even if he is truly incompetent, for us, it's just the loss of a legitimate daughter. On the contrary, we can use a huge sum of money to buy horse bones and recruit the world's geniuses!"
"Mr. Xie is absolutely right!"
Everyone clasped their fists in agreement, and they had just reached a consensus on how to deal with Qin Yuan.
Then the descendants of the Xie family came running in a hurry to report the news.
"My dear ancestors, there is the latest news from Jingzhou City—"
Seeing him sweating profusely and gasping for breath, Xie Xuan frowned and scolded him, "Why are you so anxious? Speak slowly."
Xie Youping panted for a while, drank a few sips of tea, and finally calmed down and said:
"Greetings, elders! Qin Yuan has caused a complete sensation in Jingzhou City today."
"Information came from the palace that he broke into Lanting this afternoon and, in broad daylight, embraced Murong Yanran and committed an indecent act."
"The entire Secretariat was in an uproar. Ministers were filled with righteous indignation and filed petitions to impeach him."
