A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Chapter 176 Getting ready to leave

After Shen Qingqian left, Zhao Yichen took Zhao Yize to his study.

Although Zhao Yize had something important to say, curiosity got the better of him and he was eager to know what was going on between Zhao Yichen and Shen Qingqian.

He asked tentatively: "Fifth brother, do you like that Miss Shen?"

"Ok!"

Zhao Yichen admitted it without hesitation!

This surprised Zhao Yize even more! In recent years, many noble ladies in Beijing have liked Zhao Yichen, but he was unmoved. As a result, he is now 23 years old and there is not even a woman in his house!

I don’t know what’s so special about this Miss Shen that she could catch the eye of his fifth brother?

"Fifth brother, I don't think I've seen this Miss Shen before. I wonder which family she is from?"

"Big Brother, don't you have something to say? What is it?"

Zhao Yichen did not answer Zhao Yize's question. He and Shen Qingqian had not even started dating yet. He did not want to say too much about Shen Qingqian so as not to cause her unnecessary trouble, so he changed the subject.

Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Zhao Yize stopped asking and got back to the point, "I have found evidence that Zheng Hong did not commit treason."

"Oh? So soon?"

Zhao Yichen was a little surprised. He thought it would take some time, but he didn't expect it to be so fast!

Zhao Yize said: "My people found flaws in those forged letters, proving that they were not written by Zheng Hong.

Now we need you to come forward and testify to prove that the woman approached him on purpose, and that Zheng Hong was simply misjudged by her. This way, Zheng Hong will at least not be sentenced to death."

"it is good!"

Zhao Yichen agreed very readily. Firstly, the prince was quite upright and had a good relationship with him. Secondly, Zheng Hong had never colluded with foreign enemies. So he was willing to help.

So the two of them quickly agreed to go to the palace together to see the emperor tomorrow.

Chu Heng went to the study room alone after returning to the Chu Mansion. His face was not very good. He did not expect that Shen Qingqian, a country girl, was so difficult to handle! She was simply unyielding!

In this case, don't blame him for being rude!

Chu Heng called the guard Ah Xiong and ordered, "Go to Ping'an Town right away and find out everything about Shen Qingqian, including where her coal mine is!"

"Yes, Master!"

Axiong took the order and turned to leave.

When he was about to leave, Chu Heng stopped him again and said, "Also check what her relationship with Master Zhou is like!"

"Master, do you want to...?"

Ah Xiong has followed Chu Heng for almost ten years and is considered half of his confidant. He immediately realized that Chu Heng was planning something!

Chu Heng said: "Let's go find out first! After we find out the other party's strength, I will decide what to do!"

Ah Xiong went out to do some work. Chu Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking about something. The gentleness on his face had turned into a sinister look.

When Shen Qingqian returned to the inn, Shen Qingfeng just went out and the two ran into each other.

"Brother, are you going out?"

Shen Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her and said, "Qingqian, why did you just come back? I was just about to go out and look for you!"

"Brother, I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me."

"I'm glad you're okay! Go to your room, I have something to tell you."

"it is good!"

Shen Qingqian saw Shen Qingfeng's serious face and murmured in her heart, wondering what important news her second brother was going to tell her!

The two entered the room one after another, and Shen Qingfeng told Shen Qingqian about Liu Shuyao's life experience.

Then he said, "Qingqian, did you see Chu Heng's reaction when he saw Shuyao today?"

Shen Qingqian recalled and nodded, "It's a bit strange. He called out "Wan Wan" and seemed to have mistaken my second sister-in-law for someone else."

Shen Qingfeng said: "Shuyao's biological mother is Liu Wan, and her nickname is Wanwan."

Shen Qingqian's eyes widened. "Second brother, are you saying that the biological father of my second sister-in-law might be that Lord Chu?"

Shen Qingfeng said: "It's not possible, it's certain! You have always called him Lord Chu, and we don't know his full name.

After what happened at the dinner table today, Shuyao and I realized that he must be Chu Heng, and it turned out to be true!"

"Ah! How could it be such a coincidence? What is Second Sister-in-law going to do?"

Shen Qingfeng said: "Shuyao doesn't want to recognize him. Besides, Liu Yuyao has already replaced Shuyao's identity, so this result is just right."

Shen Qingqian said: "Second brother, let's go back tomorrow and not deal with Chu Heng anymore, lest he finds out."

"No need. Your second sister-in-law and I will not show up in the future. We won't stop doing business because of Shuyao's matter."

"Brother, it's not all because of this. Today, Zhao Yichen has helped me negotiate a deal with the Ministry of War, and even signed the contract. If I sell a little more of the goods, I can make a lot of money!

Besides, Chu Heng is too cunning, it doesn’t matter whether we do business with him or not.”

Shen Qingfeng said: "Well, then we won't do his business. We will go back early tomorrow morning."

"okay!"

The brother and sister made the decision happily.

The next morning, Shen Qingfeng and Liu Shuyao packed their things, and Shen Qingqian went out.

She first went to Yang's house to say goodbye to Zhou Susu. Zhou Susu gave her a lot of gifts, and Shen Qingqian couldn't refuse her kindness, so she accepted them all.

Then Shen Qingqian went to the Fifth Prince's Mansion again to say goodbye to Zhao Yichen.

Unfortunately, Zhao Yichen was not in the house. The housekeeper said that he had gone to the palace early in the morning. Shen Qingqian had no choice but to leave a message to the housekeeper, saying that she was leaving the capital and going back.

When leaving the Fifth Prince's Mansion, Shen Qingqian hesitated for a moment, but still asked for the address of Zhao Yifeng's mansion, intending to go and say goodbye to him.

Zhao Yifeng's mansion is not far from Zhao Yichen, and it only takes a quarter of an hour to get there by carriage.

What Shen Qingqian didn't expect was that the people in Zhao Yifeng's mansion had a very bad attitude.

She got off the carriage and saw that the door was closed, so she went forward and knocked.

The door was soon opened, and a middle-aged man in his thirties stood at the door and asked, "Who are you? What can I do for you?"

Shen Qingqian said politely: "My last name is Shen, and I'm a friend of the Sixth Prince. May I ask if the Sixth Prince is here?"

The man looked her up and down, and seemed a little unconvinced by her words, and asked, "What do you want from our master?"

Shen Qingqian frowned. The look in this person's eyes made her uncomfortable, but she still said, "I'm here to say goodbye to the Sixth Prince. Is he here?"

"bid farewell?"

The man hesitated for a moment and said, "The master is not here, please go! I will report to the master when he comes back."

Shen Qingqian didn't know whether Zhao Yifeng was really away, but she knew that she would definitely not see him today.

However, it doesn’t matter if she can’t see him or not, since she has already been there.
