Chapter 20: Delicate



The Duke of Lu looked at his second son, frowning and relaxing his brows, and then frowning and relaxing again. How did he get involved in this matter? "Your brother doesn't like Jingli."

"We can't let Miss Wei down, so why not marry both of them, one wife and one concubine."

"What nonsense!" Duke Lu knew that he was up to no good, "Get out."

"I won't leave. I am also a member of the Duke's Mansion. I will definitely make plans for the Duke's Mansion. Besides, my son can now participate in the treasury affairs. Dad, are you sure you want me to go out?"

Deputy General Xu pulled Duke Lalu's sleeve and said, "The second young master has grown up now, the Duke should be happy." Don't discourage the child's enthusiasm, and besides, we still need to know the matters concerning the treasury from him.

Duke Lu compromised, "You can stay here, but don't get involved in your brother's affairs."

"You're the one who always said that we should work together as brothers, but now you're not even allowed to make suggestions?" Xie Yunzhao rolled his eyes. "Forget it, just give me my token and some more people."

Why do you ask for a token as soon as you get home? What is this for?

I took his token in my early years. He caused a lot of trouble and was not afraid to reveal his identity.

"What do you want people to do?"

"I work in the treasury, and if no one wants to use me, the princess will laugh at me to death!"

Duke Lu held his forehead with his hand. This rebellious son came here just to collect his debt. "I can give it to you, but you can't use the token indiscriminately."

"My son understands. He is already an adult and is about to get married. He already understands."

Duke Lu asked someone to fetch his token and handed it to him. When Xie Yunzhao took it, he resisted. "Don't worry, father. I have an official position now. I will not use my family's status easily in the future."

Duke Lu suddenly realized that this made sense. "You are now the grandson-in-law of the eldest princess, the fiancé of the county lady, and the director of the treasury. Don't use this token unless you have to."

"I know, Dad. I'm leaving now."

Duke Lu was stunned for a long time. He was still in shock even after his son left. What about his real eldest son? Something important happened?

There was a fierce look in Xie Yunzheng's eyes. It was too late for him to make progress now. He would not give him a chance!

"Please take my advice into consideration. You should make good use of the prince's connections," Xie Yunzhao turned around and shouted as he walked out of the door.

The Duke of Lu was so angry that he wanted to rush out, but was held back by his subordinates. Is nepotism a nice word?

Xie Yunzheng clenched his fists, how dare you laugh at him?

If he hadn't lost Yongjia, he wouldn't need anyone!

Xie Yunzhao went to the Censorate to find Liu Siming, the censor in charge of the Linhuai area.

When Lord Liu, who was over 40 years old, heard that he was looking for him, his moustache trembled twice. What did this devil want to do with him?

He was surprised to learn that Xie Yunzhao came to inquire about the flood disaster, but he also received him solemnly.

It was rare for Xie Yunzhao to be serious, so Liu Siming did not hold back and said everything he needed to say. He muttered in his heart that this kid was quite capable when it came to doing serious work.

In a secret room of a restaurant in the market, there were two men, one sitting and one standing, and both looked unhappy.

"Didn't see anyone today?"

"yes,"

"He has only studied for three days and now has a job. What do you think?"

"It's all... it's all caused by the marriage, otherwise it wouldn't happen,"

"Are you blaming me?"

"No, no, I'll find a way. I'll definitely take him out to play and won't let him get involved in errands."

The man sitting there thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "Go ahead."

Early the next morning, Xie Yunzhao went to the Princess's residence again and told the maid to call him when the princess woke up.

Chen Shurong was still the same as yesterday. He dismissed the servants and asked someone to come in. "What would you like to eat for breakfast?"

"I retrieved the token yesterday and went to see Censor Liu to learn about Linhuai's situation. I'll tell you about it later."

What should I do if Shen Shurong is moved when she wakes up in the morning and wants to hug him?

Suddenly the curtains were blown up by the wind, and she rushed forward. "What is that? It's so scary."

Xie Yunzhao reached out to catch her, and Shen Shurong leaned forward.

"Don't be afraid, it's just the wind."

"Brother Yun Zhao, since I fell into the water, I seem to have become less courageous," Shen Shurong put his head on the man's chest, and his hands also pressed against it.

"You don't have to be afraid of anything as long as I'm here," Xie Yunzhao hugged the person tightly and comforted him softly.

Chen Shurong stayed close to him for a while, as if she had just reacted, and pushed his chest away, "I'm sorry, Brother Yun Zhao, we haven't gotten married yet, I shouldn't have done this, it's all my fault."

Xie Yunzhao felt itchy inside. The brief softness could not soothe his pounding heart. He pulled her into his arms, hugged her tightly, and felt her tenderness carefully. "I don't blame you. You are scared. You need to hug me again to feel better."

Shen Shurong's hands quietly wrapped around his waist, which was so beautiful.

Xie Yunzhao smelled the pleasant rose scent in her hair and never wanted to let go.

The two of them were pressed tightly together, and Shen Shurong's chest kept rising and falling with his breathing, hitting Xie Yunzhao's nerves again and again.

Although it is soft, its power is too strong.

He clearly felt the changes in his body. His nose felt sore and liquid wanted to flow out.

He had to let go before he had hugged her enough. He was afraid of scaring her by looking so useless.

"I'll go out first and come back to accompany you later," Xie Yunzhao fled again.

Chen Shurong lowered his eyes. The wedding date is too late!

The mansion was full of servants, and no one paid attention to Xie Yunzhao until he escaped from the mansion.

The handkerchief turned into a blood-stained one again. Before she could put it away, she saw Lu Ziqian approaching her. "I knew you were here. How many days have you not looked for me?"

"I don't have time to play with you"

"I know you want to accompany the princess, you can take the princess to play together,"

Xie Yunzhao thought about it and decided, "You go back and wait for me first. I'll ask her about her arrangements and then have someone notify you."

"Okay," Lu Ziqian rode his horse and went home happily.

Chen Shurong asked someone to come in to do her makeup. Yin Zhisuihan was confused when she saw that nothing was wrong.

The son-in-law walked away with his face covered, but the princess didn't seem to be angry.

Mother Hua walked in and said, "Princess, everything has been arranged in the manor."

Chen Shurong looked at the mirror with a triumphant smile, "Xie Yunzheng, Xie Yunzheng, your biggest bargaining chip in the future is about to be lost."

Mother Hua handed over another letter. The more Chen Shurong read it, the darker her face became. She really guessed it right.

In the previous life, my grandmother handed over the treasury, and under the suppression of the new emperor, the Princess's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion gradually declined, and Liang gradually lost her good attitude towards her brother.

After being rescued by Xie Yunzhao, she asked about family matters several times but never heard Liang's name. She thought something big must have happened.

"Princess, she is still in contact with the Duan family,"

"What? Now?"

"The fifteenth of every month is tomorrow."

"Go to the Prince's Mansion and ask my brother to come over and tell him that I'm not feeling well."

The eldest princess, who got the news before her, had already called the princess to come. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat down to discuss how to tell Chen Qi these things.

Unexpectedly, Shen Shurong had already called Shen Qi over.

"What's wrong with you, little sister?"

After having breakfast with Xie Yunzhao, she asked him to wait for her in the accounting office.

Meeting his brother alone, looking at his pure eyes and worried expression, Shen Shurong felt that he was too cruel.
