18 Catching Wild Men
Shen Jingxiang shook her head helplessly. This Xiaotao really thought too much.
I actually thought she would have something to do with Yang Jian.
Of course, Xiao Tao is not the only one who has such thoughts. There are also...
Soon, Xiao Tao helped the lady make an appointment with Yang Jian.
"Madam, Young Master Yang has an appointment at Ruyi Restaurant, in the yellow box No. 3."
Shen Jingxiang hummed, then went to change her clothes and walked out slowly.
Seeing this, Xiaotao couldn't help but open her mouth wide.
"Ma'am, what are you doing?"
"It would be more convenient to change clothes."
Although she lives in seclusion, she is bound to be recognized by others. It is safer to change her clothes now.
Xiaotao nodded and immediately went to help Shen change her clothes.
It is indeed safer to dress in men's clothing.
But isn’t the lady so beautiful dressed up like this?
She looks like a handsome young man, not a forty-year-old woman!
Shen Jingxiang looked at herself in the mirror and was very satisfied with her outfit.
It was his first time dressing up as a man, and he actually looked handsome.
Shen Jingxiang quietly ran out from the back door, and a dark shadow followed quietly behind her.
In the private room of Ruyi Restaurant, Yang Jian sat inside, feeling uneasy.
This was the most expensive restaurant in the imperial city. Although it was only a private room with yellow characters, it was beyond his reach, so he felt very uneasy. If the waiter had not told him that the guest had already paid, he would not have dared to come in.
I don’t even dare to touch the tea in the restaurant.
Until, Shen Jingxiang appeared.
Yang Jian glanced at Shen, somewhat puzzled.
Why do I feel that this young master is somewhat familiar? He looks a bit like his wife, but on second thought, this must be a coincidence.
Yang Jian clasped his hands together and greeted Shen Jingxiang.
"My name is Yang Jian. May I know your name, sir?"
Shen Jingxiang thought for a moment and said, "You can just call me Master Shen. I asked you to come here today. Actually, my purpose is very simple. I will sponsor you for the imperial examination and you will be my retainer."
Yang Jian had always known that some people would recruit retainers in advance, but he never expected that such a thing would happen to him.
He has average looks and average talent, so why would Master Shen be attracted to him? After all, there are many people who have the possibility of passing the imperial examination, and he is the most unpretentious one.
“Why did Master Shen choose me?”
Ana Shen smiled and said, “Of course I believe in your character. The most important thing when I choose people is their character. I don’t like those who are not thoughtful.”
This Mr. Shen is actually such a temperamental person?
“I wonder if Mr. Shen can tell me his identity?”
"When you are in high school, you will be qualified to know."
If he could not pass the high school entrance examination, he would not be qualified to know all this. After all, the power of the Marquis' Mansion was not something that a poor man like Yang Jian could resist.
Shen Jingxiang said to Yang Jian, "I have paid for the meal here, you can go back after you finish eating!"
After saying that, Shen Jingxiang was about to leave, and Yang Jian immediately chased after her.
"Mr. Shen, how can I find you if I want to?"
"I will contact you when it's time."
Then she told Xiaotao to leave behind a hundred taels of silver and left.
Yang Jian held the silver with a frown on his face.
This Mr. Shen is like a mystery, no one can see through him.
Another point is that among the powerful people he knew, there was no family with the surname Shen, so what was the identity of this person?
It's really confusing.
After Shen Jingxiang returned, she asked Xiao Tao, "Sir, how was my performance? Did it feel unfathomable?"
Xiao Tao nodded. The lady was so amazing that she actually scared her.
If I didn't know the lady's identity, I would have been deceived.
I'm sure that Young Master Yang wouldn't be able to recognize him either.
"But Madam, can Young Master Yang really pass the exam?"
It’s not a big problem. In his previous life, Gu Haoxuan stole Mr. Yang’s essay and got the top spot, so she believes that Yang Jian has the ability to do so as long as nothing unexpected happens.
Of course, she will help solve the biggest accident, but the rest depends on whether Yang Jian has such luck.
The old lady soon learned that Shen was having an affair with a man outside her family.
I used to think that Shen was a law-abiding person, but I didn't expect that she would do something like meeting a man outside her family.
She was the one who sent people to investigate, which shows how dissolute he was behind the scenes.
Poor Gu Youting, he doesn’t even know how many times he’s been cuckolded.
This Shen had violated the seven grounds for divorce. If she were to be divorced, all her dowry would have to be left to the Hou Mansion. Does the Hou Mansion need to worry about their future?
When the old lady thought about this, she felt very happy and immediately shared it with Gu Youting. Now let's see how Shen would die.
Gu Youting didn't expect that Shen Jingxiang would cheat on him?
This Chen Jingxiang cheated on him herself, but she still blamed him for having a mistress outside?
This Shen Jingxiang is really jealous and scheming. Such a woman is not worthy of being the mistress of the Hou Mansion.
"Mother is right. This Shen should be divorced and driven out of the house. I'll leave this matter to mother."
The old lady agreed with a smile, "Don't worry, leave this matter to me, and I will make Shen Shi suffer."
On the other hand, Shen Jingxiang had already learned about this from the people below.
The corners of her mouth turned up.
I never thought that the fish would take the bait so quickly.
She didn't want to deal with them, but they came to her on their own accord. If she didn't teach them a lesson, they would only become more aggressive.
What's more, she wants a divorce, and this is an important step.
Two days later, the servant went to report to the old lady.
"Madam, I saw a strange man go to your courtyard."
The old lady slammed the table.
I was worried that I couldn't find any evidence against Chen Jingxiang.
But I never thought that she would come to my door so soon.
Now we have caught the criminal red-handed?
"Let's go, call someone to follow me to catch the adulterer. This time I want to see if Shen has any other tricks to escape."
Soon, Dongyuan was surrounded by the servants brought by the old lady.
The four guards invited by Shen Jingxiang were guarding the gate of the courtyard tightly.
No one is allowed to enter.
The old lady came out and looked at these four ungrateful guys.
How dare you stop her?
She is here to catch someone cheating. Once she catches the criminal red-handed, won't these guards be at her mercy?
The more ruthless those who stand in her way now, the more ruthless she will be in dealing with them later.
The old lady looked at them and said, "You work so hard for Shen's family, do you really think she can protect you? She can't even protect herself, you will definitely fall into my hands. If you kneel down now, I can still let you go, otherwise I will sell you all and make you the most despicable slaves."
The four of them looked at each other, and became even more determined to protect Chen Jingxiang.
