Chapter 98 Husband Can Continue to Work Hard
Shen Qingyuan led his troops to raid the Liang family.
Liang Weimin's evidence was destroyed completely, and the gold, silver and jewelry had been moved away long ago. Although some valuable items and ornaments were left behind, they did not mean anything.
Shen Qingyuan directly dispatched troops from the Xuzhou Schoolmaster Camp to search the Liang family's house. The Liang family's house was surrounded inside and out, and not even a dog could escape.
Mrs. Liang and the other women in the mansion were so frightened that they cried and made a fuss. Liang Weimin, on the other hand, remained calm and came to Shen Qingyuan on his own without being escorted by soldiers.
"Sir Shen, what do you mean? Although you are the imperial envoy appointed by His Majesty and can act on His Majesty's behalf, I am the governor of a prefecture. Without His Majesty's order or a search warrant from the Censorate, you have no right to interrogate me, let alone search my residence!"
Liang Weimin spoke loudly and confidently, certain that Shen Qingyuan could not find any evidence against him in his home.
Under Liang Weimin's angry glare, Shen Qingyuan took out a golden decree and said, "This is a decree personally granted by His Majesty. The serious case in Xuzhou has harmed countless people. His Majesty has granted me the right to execute first and report later. Sir Liang, if you have anything to say, you can wait until you are in the cell to speak."
With His Majesty's golden decree before him, Liang Weimin had no way to resist, but he still said righteously, "I devoted all my efforts to disaster relief last year, even donating half my fortune. If Lord Shen arrests me based on some groundless rumors, it will chill the hearts of all officials in Xuzhou!"
Liang Weimin naturally could not afford such a large amount of disaster relief food and money alone. All the officials in Xuzhou, big and small, were involved in it. Who would dare to betray him?
Liang Weimin's words were so powerful that everyone in the Liang Mansion started crying and protesting their injustice.
"Who told Sir Liang that this officer is investigating embezzlement of grain and military pay?" Amidst the cries of the crowd, Shen Qingyuan's voice was cold and terrifying. Liang Weimin's heart tightened, vaguely aware that something was amiss. The next moment, he heard Shen Qingyuan say, "This officer has found that there was shoddy work on the embankment, which should be a major cause of the severe losses caused by last year's flood. Is there anything wrong with asking Sir Liang to go to the prison to explain the situation?"
Hearing this, Liang Weimin's face changed drastically and his beard began to tremble uncontrollably.
Shen Qingyuan had previously recited those water control methods to make him relax his vigilance. These days, he followed him to check the water conservancy facilities every day not to be led by him, but to conduct on-site surveys to determine the quality of the dam!
He was thinking that he could get away with it safely by destroying the evidence of corruption and shutting up the people, but he didn't expect that Shen Qingyuan had other intentions from the very beginning.
This young man is not a mediocre person at all. On the contrary, he is extremely cunning.
How could such a person not be promoted in Jingzhao Prefecture for ten years?
Liang Weimin's case involved a wide range of people. Although the prince's men secretly assisted him, Shen Qingyuan was still very busy and did not return to the post station for several days.
Chunxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She suffered for the sake of momentary pleasure, and when she woke up she thought back to how cowardly she was and felt ashamed to look at herself. Moreover, the contrast between Shen Qingyuan and her in bed was too great, and she was a little scared. She really wanted to have a few days of buffer.
The Liang Mansion had been raided, and the day of returning to Beijing should be not far away. Chunxi seized the opportunity to taste all the delicacies of Xuzhou.
That night, she was lying on the bed with her legs crossed, thinking about what to eat the next day, when the door was suddenly pushed open and Shen Qingyuan walked in.
Chunxi was completely unprepared. When she suddenly saw him, she was so startled that she almost fell off the bed and blurted out, "Sir, why are you back?"
After he finished speaking, Shen Qingyuan raised his eyes and looked over.
Perhaps because he had been interrogating prisoners these days, Shen Qingyuan's eyes were very sharp and oppressive. Chunxi quickly changed her words: "Husband."
Shen Qingyuan then retracted his gaze and said, "I'll come back to wash up and change clothes, and leave soon."
You just came back and you have to leave.
Now that she was no longer afraid, Chunxi realized that she actually missed Shen Qingyuan a lot after not seeing her for a few days.
And if you look closely, Shen Qingyuan's clothes are all dirty and his face is full of fatigue.
Chunxi thought about how she had been eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks these past few days, and suddenly felt guilty. She quickly said, "Husband, you must not have eaten well these past few days. I'll go make you a bowl of wontons, and it will be up soon. Husband, wait for me!"
Without waiting for Shen Qingyuan's answer, Chunxi quickly ran to the kitchen. After a while, she came back with a bowl of steaming wontons. She walked around the screen and found Shen Qingyuan asleep leaning against the bathtub.
Chunxi paused and felt heartbroken.
The adults must be very tired these days, but she was just shy and didn't even think about bringing them food or caring about them. This is really wrong.
Chunxi reflected on herself and was about to leave to let Shen Qingyuan sleep a little longer when Shen Qingyuan woke up.
"Are the wontons ready?"
As he asked the question, Shen Qingyuan stepped out of the bathtub and wiped his body.
Chunxi subconsciously wanted to turn around, but thinking that they were already husband and wife, and Shen Qingyuan was so tired, she immediately picked up clean clothes and helped Shen Qingyuan change.
Shen Qingyuan was a little surprised and said solemnly, "If Madam doesn't like being close to me, you don't have to force yourself to do things you don't like."
"I didn't!" Chunxi quickly denied, "I'm happy to serve my husband."
This didn't make Shen Qingyuan happy. He lowered his eyes and said, "I know my performance that night disappointed Madam. It's understandable that Madam doesn't want to see me."
“…”
Although she did have a bit of a evasive mentality, that was because she was shy. It was normal for a girl to feel a bit embarrassed when doing such an intimate thing for the first time. How could it turn into disappointment?
"I'm just a little shy, not disappointed in my husband," Chunxi explained quickly. Seeing Shen Qingyuan didn't believe her, she added, "It did end a little unexpectedly at first, but didn't my husband prove himself right away? My legs were so weak the whole next day that I couldn't walk."
To add to the credibility, Chunxi's eyes opened wide.
Shen Qingyuan was still very depressed: "The length of time doesn't prove anything. What's important is Madam's feelings. If Madam can feel my affection and feel comfortable, she won't be shy and want to hide from me."
“…”
Who would ask about feelings after doing something like that?
Her mother never told her about this before they got married.
Shen Qingyuan asked this question suddenly, and Chunxi couldn't help but think about it.
Although Shen Qingyuan looked fierce, he was actually quite restrained. When she cried out in pain, he kept comforting her. Later, it seemed that the pain was not so severe anymore, and it was quite...
Chunxi suddenly stopped thinking and looked up to see Shen Qingyuan looking at her expectantly.
Sir, you always pretend to be injured to trick me. Don’t you think you are like a big-tailed wolf?
"Ahem," Chunxi cleared her throat and spoke seriously, "As for the feeling, it's okay. After all, it's my first time too. I don't have much experience and no one to refer to. If you feel you can't do it, you can keep trying."
There was a smile in Chunxi's eyes, like a little fox shaking its head.
Although he didn't get the answer he wanted, Shen Qingyuan's eyes were still filled with smiles. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll keep working hard."
