Chapter 96
After Shen Rang finished speaking, the Crown Prince's eyes lit up: "Zirong, you've finally figured it out?"
“Yes,” Shen Rang said. “I am now in a predicament, and only Your Highness is willing to lend a helping hand. If I can help Your Highness, I will gladly die for you.”
"Good!" The Crown Prince was overjoyed. "Don't worry, Zirong, I will definitely take care of this for you!"
"Thank you, Your Highness."
The crown prince turned around, patted Shen Jun's shoulder heavily again, and then left.
"Respectfully seeing off His Highness the Crown Prince!" The father and son bowed behind him.
After the Crown Prince left, Shen Jun turned to look at Shen Rang, his face filled with undisguised joy and relief: "You've finally figured it out!"
Shen Rang lowered his eyes and remained silent.
"With His Highness the Crown Prince's support, your official career will surely be extremely smooth!"
"How about we have a good drink tonight, just the two of us?"
From then on, the father and son were finally standing on the same side!
When the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, their Marquis's family will be loyal subjects who have helped him ascend the throne, and their status will be immeasurable!
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Rang finally nodded.
It was rare to see Shen Jun in such a good mood. Recalling his appearance in front of the Crown Prince, Shen Rang really couldn't bear to refuse.
"good!"
Shen Jun waved his hand, and his subordinates busied themselves preparing various fine wines and dishes.
Seeing that it was still early, Shen Rang made an excuse to go out.
He called Jingyuan over and said, "Send Duan Jieyuan a table of fine wine and dishes tonight, and also send him the notes I wrote when I was studying."
She thanked him for protecting Yunxi when she was young.
As a fellow scholar, he knew that Duan Huaichuan was forced to take action because he truly cared about Yunxi.
Although it's hard to say where he should be placed, he should do something about this matter.
Upon hearing this, Jingyuan's eyelids twitched involuntarily: "Your Highness, your notes are very precious. Why are you sending them to Duan Jieyuan? Don't you dislike him?"
Shen Rang achieved the highest honors in the imperial examinations, and the insights he casually jotted down were of immense value among the candidates. If he were to share them outside the examination hall, they would be worth more than a thousand pieces of gold. Why would he suddenly give them to someone he doesn't even like?
Meeting Shen Rang's gaze, Jing Yuan immediately suppressed his doubts: "Understood, I will take care of it right away."
He didn't understand, but he didn't dare to ask.
Jingyuan took two steps out, then turned back: "Your Highness, if that scholar, Duan, wishes to see you..."
"not see."
He gave Duan Huaichuan things as a thank you for protecting Yun Xi, but it didn't mean he had any good feelings towards Duan Huaichuan.
Seeing that Shen Rang had left behind such a sentence and then turned back, Jing Yuan scratched his head, turned around and went to Buweizhai to get his things, and then delivered them to Duan Huaichuan's courtyard.
Duan Huaichuan knew that this family had a young master, but the two had not seen each other since he moved in. Now that such a precious gift had suddenly been sent to him, Duan Huaichuan naturally dared not accept it: "Please thank the young master for his kindness, but this gift is too valuable, and I really dare not accept it."
“My young master knows that it wasn’t easy for Duan Jieyuan to get to where he is today, and that he also has ambitions. That’s why he specifically asked me to deliver the gift. If Jieyuan insists on refusing to accept it, my young master has also instructed that the gift is useless to him and should be destroyed.”
After saying that, Jing Yuan actually took out a tinderbox from his pocket and actually wanted to burn the pile of notes right in front of Duan Huaichuan.
Normally, Jingyuan would finish such a simple action in the blink of an eye, but at this moment, his movements were slow and leisurely. He blew on the tinder three or four times before finally getting it lit, and then he started picking and choosing from the pile of notes, as if he wanted to pick one that looked good to start burning.
Duan Huaichuan was still reluctant to see such a treasure turn to ashes, so he quickly cupped his hands and said, "Please stop, young master. Thank you for your kindness, young master. I should go and thank you in person!"
Jing Yuan remained expressionless: "No need for thanks. The young master doesn't like meeting strangers. In the future, if you see the young master in the manor, you'd better avoid him."
"......yes."
