Chapter 191 The counterattack begins
Shen Zhishu was a little surprised. Why was she so nervous about this marriage?
"Brother, let's split into two groups."
"All right, you and mother take this carriage, and I'll take the one in front."
Shen Jie said immediately.
After saying that, he quickened his pace and disappeared from the alley next to him.
Shen Zhishu didn't have time to say anything before taking his mother towards Cui's house.
Now that we all know where the two carriages are going, let's go to the destination and wait.
Although Yuwen Qingwei went to find Cui Zheng, an unmarried woman could not enter his house.
The maid reported.
The two of them agreed to meet at a nearby restaurant and even booked a private room.
Shen Zhishu and his mother followed closely behind and sat down in the next box.
They didn't say a word tacitly, and their ears were fixed on the wall so that they could hear clearly every movement next door.
"Ah Zheng, I don't know what happened, but Shen Jie suddenly came with a matchmaker to propose marriage this morning..."
Yu Wen Qingwei's voice came from next door.
There was worry in his tone.
Judging from the address and tone, they might have just met recently?
Shen Zhishu was a little surprised. From Xiaodie's words, wasn't it Cui Ying who found a marriage for her own brother?
How come these two people had actually been in private contact for a long time?
She also listened to the general content of the conversation.
Then this incident gave her a new understanding.
"Shu'er, how can Cui Zheng be so confident that this marriage will be successful?"
On the way, Shen's mother couldn't help but be curious.
They were in the box just now and heard it very clearly.
Yuwen Qingwei was worried that the marriage might not go through, but Cui Zheng vowed that the marriage would not change even if the man was the prince, not to mention the son of the Supreme Court Minister. He also comforted Yuwen Qingwei and told her not to worry.
These words didn't sound like comfort at all, because Cui Zheng's tone was clearly very confident.
"Maybe because Yuwen Qingwei's heart is with him?"
Shen Zhishu teased with a smile.
"You kid..."
Mother Shen rolled her eyes at her in annoyance.
The fact that he was so sure only showed that he knew his own identity. Even if he didn't believe it so much, he at least knew that he was of great importance.
Could it be that the Yue family leaked it?
But this concerns the life and death of the Yue family. How could the old general tell it easily?
She didn't know what happened in between, but one thing was very clear.
Since Cui Zheng knew his background and had made a promise to Yuwen Qingwei, he would definitely not give up this marriage.
How far can he go for this marriage?
At the very least, Kyoto should be lively for a while, and this young master Cui Zheng should be known to the world.
The more Concubine Yue wanted to hide it, the more she tried to make the matter bigger, just to see what she would do when she could no longer hide it.
Return to Shen's house.
Shen Jie came back a little later.
Because the people from the Yuwen family went directly into the Yue family, and he followed them to the door, there was no reason for him to go any further inside.
So he waited until the Yuwen family left before he found the Yue family's servants, used their connections, and found out a little bit of information.
It is said that the Yuwen family intended to come and cancel the engagement, and the marriage with Deputy General Cui was called off.
But General Yue disagreed and became furious.
Let the steward of the Yuwen family take a message back that if they want to cancel the engagement, they should ask the old Grand Tutor to come and discuss it in person. Otherwise, the Yue family will ask a matchmaker to come and propose marriage on behalf of Cui Zheng.
"General Yue is really something. How could he be willing to offend the highly respected old Grand Tutor for the sake of a coachman's child? Besides, their relationship is not ordinary."
Shen Jie was also puzzled by this.
His questions were similar to those of Shen's mother.
At this time, Shen's mother seemed to have noticed Shen's mother, and frowned as she looked at her daughter who was "removing makeup".
She seemed confident.
So does she know what's going on here?
"If there is still no news in two days, we will go again. However, based on what we saw today, we probably won't be able to wait until then."
Since Cui Zheng himself knew it, and seeing how Yuwen Qingwei was still devoted to him, he probably knew something.
She waited, and Concubine Yue looked anxious but helpless.
night.
When she finished washing up and was about to rest, Bitao walked in with a look of despair on her face.
"It's been so long since I came back, why don't you come to see me?"
She still looked resentful.
"Didn't I just want to go look for you? Come and sit down. Massage my legs. I'm so tired."
Shen Zhishu lay down on the bed, with his long black hair spread out and beautiful facial features. He looked very lazy, but he looked like a seductive enchantress in a storybook.
Bitao felt that her master was becoming more and more beautiful, even more beautiful than before she got married.
While staring in amazement, he quickly walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and massaged his legs.
"Did you go to the palace today and see the prince?"
Originally, Shen Zhishu didn't want to ask.
But Bitao came here because of this matter, and she was afraid that she would not speak up. If Bitao didn't tell it, she would not be able to sleep well tonight.
"Yes, I see you."
She nodded heavily.
Then two tears came out.
"Are you wronged?"
"It's not that I'm being wronged. I'm a servant to begin with. No matter what the prince says, I won't feel wronged. But... Master, what if you wait here and finally receive a divorce letter from the prince?"
Bitao couldn't keep the secret, and immediately told everything that happened that day.
Su Rong fulfilled her promise and asked her to wait at the gate of Yayuan.
Yan Chu saw it when he went out.
She immediately brought over the freshly made shortbread.
I've said it was the master's good intention.
But the prince didn't even look at her, didn't say a word to her, and just left.
Later, Chu Er took the pastry.
So Bitao felt that the prince no longer cared about his master at all.
"The prince is a man who values affection. How could he divorce me so easily? It's just that a lot of things have happened recently and the prince is upset. You have to give him some time."
Although Shen Zhishu was a little disappointed, he had already expected this to happen, so he didn't worry about it too much.
But Bitao looked as if the sky was about to fall.
She has to comfort him.
He hummed and hawed for nearly half an hour.
The next morning.
Xiaodie, who had disappeared for a long time, is back.
As if she had calculated the time well, she knew that Shen Zhishu needed her at this time.
"I was really exhausted this time. I finally found an unidentified person to deliver the unmarked script to Concubine Yue and Marquis Su. As soon as I returned to Kyoto, I saw Master Shen staying at Yue Mansion, so I ran back immediately..."
Xiaodie had an expression on her face that looked like she was begging for praise.
"Well done. Whether I, your master, can return to the palace in glory again really depends on you."
Shen Zhishu narrowed his eyes and praised generously.
Xiaodie has been in the underworld for many years and has many tricks up her sleeve.
She was full of admiration.
