Chapter 647 Second Miss, Young Master Xiao has arrived.
"Miss, that's not all!"
Qin Xin spoke in a clear, crisp voice, as if pouring beans from a bamboo tube: "The Wan Hua Lou is using the young master as a gimmick, putting up a sign saying that Chu Yanluo is the young master's beloved, whom he has been pursuing relentlessly. He has never been able to win her over, but now he can get her for just one tael of silver!"
"So the Wan Hua Lou has been packed with people since last night, and today it's even more crowded, with countless men waiting in line to buy an hour's worth of experience!"
"Besides the men queuing up, there are also many women blocking the entrance of Wan Hua Lou. They are throwing rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs inside, and cursing Chu Yanluo, saying that she is morally corrupt and shameless."
Shen Wantang was somewhat stunned: "Wan Hua Lou dares to use Xiao Qingyuan as a gimmick? Where is Xiao Qingyuan? Has he not reacted at all?"
"this……"
Qin Xin couldn't help but scratch her head, her previous eloquence turning into stammering: "The young master, he, he..."
Shen Wantang looked at Qin Xin strangely: "You're usually so eloquent, why are you stuttering this time? What's wrong?"
Qin Xin had no choice but to tell the truth: "The young master also went to the Wan Hua Lou, but he didn't go in. He saw many people outside laughing at him, so he announced in public that the woman he had always loved was not Chu Yanluo, but... but you."
"What?!"
Shen Wantang's vision went black: "This lunatic, why did he drag me into this?!"
"The young master said that you and he were in love, that you were his princess consort in your past life, and that you were planning to marry him in this life as well. But then the second young master Gu suddenly appeared, stole your love, and took away his marriage. The young master said he would definitely take you back, and if he couldn't, he would never marry again and would become a monk!"
Shen Wantang's vision went black again.
She was just sitting at home when trouble came out of nowhere. If it weren't for her special relationship with Gu Qianhan, having known each other for three lifetimes, Xiao Qingyuan's unreasonable behavior today would have ruined her marriage.
Seeing that her mistress's face was very pale, Qin Xin quickly added, "Don't worry, Miss. Among those onlookers outside, not many believe the young master's crazy talk. Everyone just thinks he's delirious and talking nonsense!"
"After all, the young master was madly in love with Chu Yanluo and said he would marry no one but her. Later, he said the same thing to Miss Liu, saying he would marry no one but her. But only a few days later, the young master started saying he would marry no one but you."
"Now, everyone's making fun of him! They all say he falls in love with every girl he meets and isn't a good match, and that you were right to choose Young Master Gu instead of him!"
Shen Wantang's expression didn't improve much after hearing this.
She just couldn't understand why Xiao Qingyuan had suddenly started liking her again. Wasn't he so annoyed with her in their past life that he even conspired with Liu Nanshi to kill her? Did he change his mind in this life after finding out that Liu Nanshi wasn't a good person?
She had thought Xiao Qingyuan was a devoted lover in her past life!
Just then, a maidservant rushed in to report: "Second Miss, Young Master Xiao has arrived!"
A hint of murderous intent flashed across Shen Wantang's face: "What? He dares to come again?!"
"Young Master Xiao reeks of alcohol and seems to be drunk. He's been insisting on seeing you."
"Don't see him! Get him out of here immediately!"
"It's too late to rush them; the master has already welcomed them in!"
Shen Wantang: "..."
Shen Guannian hasn't worn a green hat enough yet, he even has the leisure to welcome Xiao Qingyuan into the door!
Just as Shen Wantang was speechless, Sanshui arrived.
He spoke respectfully, "Second Miss, Master requests your presence in his study."
Shen Wantang frowned. Had Shen Guannian gone mad? Why was he asking her to do something?
She's already engaged and getting married next month, and now he's asking her to see Xiao Qingyuan? Is he trying to use his daughter to keep two men hanging on? Isn't he afraid the Duke's mansion will be angry if they find out?
Seeing that she didn't speak, Sanshui whispered, "Second Miss, Young Master Xiao has arrived and brought Master a thick stack of silver notes. I roughly estimate it to be fifty thousand taels."
Shen Wantang couldn't help but close her eyes. Well, Xiao Qingyuan is rich now. He's throwing money at Shen Guannian. This really hits Shen Guannian's weak spot!
"Not only that, but Young Master Xiao also pleaded with the Emperor on behalf of Master, and Master has now been reinstated to his original position. He can go to work first thing tomorrow morning."
"What?!"
Shen Wantang jumped to her feet, utterly incredulous: "Xiao Qingyuan went to the Emperor to plead for him?! Just for Shen Guannian?"
Sanshui's voice lowered even further: "Miss, it's obvious that Young Master Xiao has ulterior motives; he's doing this for you! So, Miss, you should go and see him, lest the master secretly sell you out again."
Shen Wantang's heart stirred, but she quickly calmed down.
To be honest, Sanshui really lives up to her reputation as Shen Guannian's personal servant. She understands him very well. Shen Guannian could actually do something as stupid as secretly betraying her!
Xiao Qingyuan helped him regain his official position and even pleaded for him with the Emperor. Now, he would probably be willing to sell himself, let alone his daughter!
Shen Wantang really didn't expect Xiao Qingyuan to go to such lengths for her. What about all the suffering she endured with him in her past life? Where was he all this time?
Has he suddenly come to his senses and wants to marry her?
No way!
She lifted her foot and walked out: "Let's go! To the study!"
Sanshui quickly followed, and Dujuan and Qinxin also hurried after them.
On the way, Sanshui slightly raised his head and glanced at Shen Wantang.
Actually, he had always thought that the second young lady was beautiful. Her appearance and temperament were very similar to her birth mother, Aunt Jiang, but she was more aloof than Aunt Jiang.
Now, he felt that the second young lady seemed even more beautiful, and her temperament was becoming more and more outstanding. She exuded an indescribable aura and confidence, making people unconsciously look up to her and unconsciously want to submit to her.
No wonder Prince Xiao and Second Young Master Gu were vying to marry her; she was indeed both beautiful and capable.
Sanshui felt a little uneasy. The Second Miss was a person with great fortune. Now that he had the opportunity to accompany her as a maid, he naturally had to be on high alert to show his loyalty and ability.
I wonder if the second young lady is satisfied with him or not, and why she hasn't taken him away from the master yet?
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly saw Qin Xin give him a thumbs up.
Sanshui couldn't help but smile. It seemed that the information he provided to the Second Miss was quite useful. Qin Xin was now the Second Miss's most trusted confidante. Even Qin Xin praised him, which meant that the Second Miss was satisfied with him.
He perked up and decided that even if the second young lady didn't want him yet, he would still perform well and wouldn't give up until the very last moment!
