Chapter 687: Dancing Princess vs. East Factory Admiral 47
"Since you won't tell me, I'll find it myself."
Quan Jiu was decisive. He took Naituanzi by the hand and walked around Shen San, heading towards the yard behind him.
Seeing this, Shen San broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly chased after him to stop him.
“Doctor Shen, I’ll take you there.”
It's better for him to take it with him than to catch him directly.
………
“Sir, Doctor Shen is here.”
Shen San stood at the door and spoke, as if to remind the people inside.
Quan Jiu's eyes swept across him meaningfully.
"Squeak."
The door opens.
Chen Lang was dressed in a black brocade robe with giant pythons embroidered on the cuffs. His black hair was loose behind his head. He did not tie it up as usual, but instead used a white jade hairpin to gently tie up half of his hair, adding a bit of laziness and casualness.
The white jade hairpin was not gorgeous and had no ornaments inlaid on it. The curve of the hairpin was smooth. It was the day when he flew the kite, and Quan Jiu bought it from a street stall and gave it to him.
"Why didn't you tell me before you came?"
Chen Lang stood at the open door, but did not come over. The door was not wide open, just wide enough to accommodate his body.
Quan Jiu didn't move forward. He looked past him and behind him, but saw nothing:
“Shen San said you had something important to do, did I disturb you?”
Shen San, who lowered his eyes and nodded, felt his hair stand on end. You guys can just talk, why are you taking the blame on him?
Shen Lang: "It's nothing important."
Quan Jiu was about to speak when a weak voice suddenly came from the room where nothing could be seen.
"Lord Shen."
The words he wanted to say got stuck in his throat. Quan Jiu raised his eyebrows and looked behind him.
Shen Lang turned sideways and looked back, revealing the person behind him.
The woman was wearing a light blue dress that dragged on the ground. Her elegant face was painted with light plum blossom makeup, and her black hair fell to her slender waist.
Meeting Quan Jiu's gaze, the other party smiled politely and nodded.
The woman's appearance was cool yet charming, and Quan Jiu, who was used to seeing beautiful women, couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"Is this the serious matter that Shen San was talking about?" Quan Jiu still had the mind to joke.
Shen Lang frowned and looked at Shen San with disapproval, who honestly chose to play deaf and dumb.
“I guess this is the legendary Doctor Shen?”
Si Wanyi took the initiative to greet Quan Jiu, and when she met her indifferent gaze, she explained.
"I am Si Wanyi from the Jiaofang Department. I have long heard of the great name of Doctor Shen."
When Quan Jiu heard the three words "Si Wanyi", his eyes moved slightly.
The rich and powerful loved to have fun, so they kept a group of singing girls and dancers who were proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Si Wanyi was the living signboard of the Jiaofangsi.
It is rumored that she is extremely intelligent, has extensive connections, and is on good terms with many dignitaries in the capital. Ordinary playboys dare not offend her. She works in the Jiaofangsi, and people in the capital call her "Miss Si".
Quan Jiu was not surprised that the other party knew his identity. He was dressed in men's clothes and wearing a white jade mask, so his identity was obvious.
"Seeing is believing. Miss Si is indeed worthy of being the living face of the Jiaofangsi."
Si Wanyi does not have the fawning charm of an ordinary dancer. Instead, she is like a plum blossom that stands proudly against the frost and snow, cold and aloof. But when she smiles, this aloof feeling disappears without a trace.
It is neither overly enthusiastic nor distant, and the size is just right.
"Dr. Shen, you are too kind."
Si Wanyi was not a person without good eyesight. She noticed that the atmosphere between Quan Jiu and Shen Lang was subtle. She smiled and took the initiative to look at Shen San.
"I won't bother you, Master Shen. I'll have to trouble Guard Shen to arrange a room for me."
Cold sweat broke out on Shen San's back, and he didn't dare to look at Quan Jiu's eyes at all:
"Miss Si, please come this way."
Once they left, only Shen Lang and the mother and son were left at the scene.
Quan Jiu's lips curled slightly, and his tone was emotionless:
"I was wondering why Shen San didn't let me come to see you. It turns out that Lord Shen has a hidden mistress in his golden house."
Shen Lang frowned instinctively: "It's not what you think."
"You've already settled down here, but it's not what I expected?" Quan Jiu retorted calmly.
Chen Lang listened to her sarcastic words, his eyes fell on her obviously pale face, and finally realized belatedly:
"Are you jealous?"
"I dare not."
There was always a subtle curve at the corner of Quan Jiu's mouth.
There had never been a woman around Chen Lang, and all the opposite sex in the East Factory were elderly maids. After Quan Jiu said this, he really thought she had not misunderstood and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Si Wanyi was sent by the emperor."
When Shen San stopped her, Eunuch Zhou had just finished announcing the imperial edict.
Quan Jiu had heard many rumors about Si Wanyi: "Hasn't she always been aloof and proud, selling her art but not her body?"
How many rich young men spent thousands of gold to win the smile of a beauty, and were willing to spend all their wealth to marry Si Wanyi home, but she did not agree. Everyone thought that she would spend her whole life in the Music Bureau, but why did she make an exception when it came to Chen Lang?
Quan Jiu secretly complained, but didn't show a word on his face.
Shen Lang said: "I'm not sure."
He had no interest in women before and had only heard of this person. As for other things about Si Wanyi, he knew nothing about it.
“I didn’t let Shen San stop you.” He thought about it and added.
He was so happy that she could come to see him, so how could he stop her?
Quan Jiu didn't expect this, he was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth tightened.
Shen Lang's eyes swept across Xuanyuan Zhuo's face: "Why did you suddenly think of coming here?"
"Why, do you think I disturbed you?" Quan Jiu narrowed his black eyes slightly.
Shen Lang heard the anger in her tone and said affirmatively: "You are angry."
After Quan Jiu knew that he didn't send anyone to stop her, her anger subsided, but it didn't stop her from wanting to tease him:
"I have no right to be angry about something that has no reputation or status."
Shen Lang frowned, as if he had encountered an extremely difficult problem.
The emperor nominally gave Si Wanyi to him, but everyone knew that Si Wanyi was just a chess piece responsible for surveillance.
Eunuch Zhou had just finished announcing the imperial decree, and he immediately kicked people out. This was undoubtedly a slap in the face to Chu Tuo. But if he kept Si Wanyi...
He lowered his eyes and glanced at Quan Jiu's expression.
"Someone come."
He stood in front of the door with his hands behind his back.
A guard came out from the darkness and asked: "What are your orders, sir?"
Chen Lang: "Please invite Si Wanyi back to the Jiaofang Division."
Quan Jiu was frightened by his decisiveness and blinked in surprise: "Wait a minute."
Shen Lang and the guards looked at her at the same time.
"After all, he was sent to you by Chu Tuo. If you kick him out now, he'll make trouble for you the next day when you go to court. Now is a time of great trouble, and he's been waiting to find fault with you. It's better to have less trouble than more..."
Quan Jiu didn't want to make things difficult for herself. She wasn't so generous as to let Si Wanyi live in the East Factory without any ripples in her heart. It was just that Chu Tuo obviously wanted to make things difficult for Chen Lang. If he really kicked her out, it would actually fulfill Chu Tuo's wish.
Shen Lang stared straight into her eyes and pursed his lips and said:
"But you're not happy."
