Women dressed as men: powerful officials

"I am indeed here to look for you, young master. Please come out and see me." The servant spoke again.

Shen Yichuan raised his head and glanced at Xu Yuan. Thinking that Xu Yuan would have to go back to school tomorrow, he said, "In that case, please lead the way, little brother."

After walking through the courtyard for a while, the servant stopped under a tree. Shen Yichuan looked over and saw a man turning back under the apricot tree.

Seeing someone coming, Xu Wenxian bowed to the servant and said, "Excuse me, little brother."

"Mr. Xu, you are too polite. If Mr. Xu had not looked down on my family for being poor and was willing to teach my brother, my brother would not have had the opportunity to learn. This is what I should do."

Hearing the two people talking, Shen Yichuan thought for a moment and asked, "I heard that Mr. Xu's surname is Xu, but is he Mr. Xu Yuan's father?"

Xu Wenxian turned around and looked at Shen Yichuan. Just one glance and tears welled up in his eyes.

Fearing that Shen Yichuan would become suspicious, Xu Wenxian quickly asked, "Young Master, you must be Shen Yichuan, right?"

"What can I do for you, sir?" Shen Yichuan bowed.

"I want to ask the young master about someone." Xu Wenxian looked at Shen Yichuan, with countless emotions passing through his face.

inquire about?

Shen Yichuan raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but think of what Bei Yao said.

Could it be that the Xu family in Sishui City is really related to that Xu family?

Thinking of this, Shen Yichuan said, "I don't know who you want to ask, sir. If I knew, I would tell you everything I know."

"I want to ask who your father is, and whether the third daughter of your family, Shen Yifeng, is doing well?"

Hearing the name Shen Yifeng, Shen Yichuan's face suddenly turned cold: "Who are you and why do you know my third aunt's name?"

Hearing the coldness in Shen Yichuan's words, Xu Wenxian immediately explained: "I was also asked by an old friend to ask if she is okay."

"Old friend? What old friend?"

Shen Yichuan looked at Xu Wenxian coldly: "Third Aunt has entered the palace as a concubine. If she is an old friend of Third Aunt, how could she not know where she is? If not, according to the rules of the Shen family, it is impossible for anyone to know my Third Aunt. Who are you?!"

By the end of his words, Shen Yichuan could no longer hide his murderous intent.

However, after hearing Shen Yichuan's words, Xu Wenxian's expression became even worse, and he immediately asked: "The Shen family is also a big family in the capital, how could they let a legitimate daughter enter the palace?"

With the Shen family's reputation and status.

To enter the palace, one should at least be the queen or the imperial concubine.

What's more, Shen Yifeng is a well-deserved talented woman.

She longed to be with someone for the rest of her life, so why would she trap herself in the deep palace and be a miserable couple for the rest of her life?

Shen Yichuan did not reply, but just looked at the middle-aged man in front of him coldly.

Feeling the cold expression on Shen Yichuan's face, Xu Wenxian finally came back to his senses. He calmed down and said, "I'm sorry, I'm too concerned. I'm just too..."

"No need to say more." Shen Yichuan interrupted Xu Wenxian: "No matter what you think, I don't want to know. From now on, I don't want to hear any rumors about the Shen family here. If you dare to insult my third aunt's reputation, then I can only attack Xu Yuan."

Hearing Shen Yichuan's words, Xu Wenxian was stunned.

After a long while, he looked at the cold-faced Shen Yichuan and said softly, "Shen Yifeng is the third daughter of the family. Above her, there are two older brothers, both of whom are named Yi. Your generation should be named Ren. Although I don't know why you named yourself Shen Yichuan, you should know the rules of the Shen family."

"So what if you know?"

Shen Yichuan turned around and looked at Xu Wenxian with a cold expression: "I was raised by my third aunt since I was a child. She is like my mother. I will not allow anyone to insult her reputation."

Xu Wenxian was not talking.

He stared at her for a long time before speaking again, "In that case, I won't ask any more questions. I shouldn't have bothered her any more. Please give this letter to Miss Three and your father."

Shen Yichuan looked at the two letters and remained unmoved: "Sorry, I can't help you with this."

"If so, what if I have this?"

Xu Wenxian looked at Shen Yichuan and slowly took out a jade pendant from his waist.

He didn't show it much, just let Shen Yichuan take a look and then took it back.

Shen Yichuan stared at the jade pendant until it was put back around Xu Wenxian's waist. Only then did he seem to find his voice again.

"Who are you? Why are you from the Shen family..."

"Young Master Shen." Xu Wenxian interrupted Shen Yichuan and smiled kindly, "I am just a country boy who has the opportunity to learn to read and write. However, this letter must be handed over to the head of the family. Also, this matter must not be mentioned to anyone, for fear of causing trouble."

Xu Wenxian sighed, stuffed the envelope into Shen Yichuan's hand, and then said, "Young Master Shen is very talented and has a bright future. Don't make a fool of yourself."

After saying that, Xu Wenxian turned and left.

Shen Yichuan looked at the staggering steps and suppressed the urge to catch up several times.

The two letters in his hands were obviously as light as feathers, but he suddenly felt that he could not lift them.

Finally, when he saw the shadow about to disappear around the corner, he chased after it and said, "Mr. Xu, please stay."

Xu Wenxian turned around, looked at Shen Yichuan, and asked, "Young Master Shen, is there anything else?"

"Can you please let me take another look at that jade pendant?"

Shen Yichuan stared at the jade pendant, not daring to look away.

Xu Wenxian was slightly stunned, and then said, "Okay."

He slowly took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Shen Yichuan.

Shen Yichuan stroked the jade pendant for a long time before he asked in a trembling voice, "Where did you get this jade pendant, Mr. Xu?"

"On a dead man."

"That……"

Shen Yichuan wanted to ask more, but Xu Wenxian said, "Young Master, this jade pendant originally belonged to the Shen family, but I am alone and have only this little money. I cannot give it to you. Please return the jade pendant to me, Young Master Shen."

"Sir, you misunderstood. I have no intention of keeping this jade pendant."

Shen Yichuan handed the jade pendant to Xu Wenxian and asked, "Sir, do you know my father?"

"I don't know him. I'm just doing my duty as a trustee."

Xu Wenxian carefully put the jade pendant away. After a long while, he said, "Young Master Shen, don't get involved in the grudges of the previous generation. Remember not to reveal the letter to anyone."

"Junior understands." Shen Yichuan nodded.

It was not until the shadow completely disappeared around the corner that Shen Yichuan came back to his senses. He walked back and said, "Prepare the carriage immediately. I want to go back to the capital."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yichuan stopped again when he saw Song Xiujing in the corridor.

He looked at Song Xiujing, then at the letter in his arms, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "No need."

The Song family is already on their way to Sishui City.

Beiyao went to the desert. If he left too, there would be no one in Sishui County who could protect Song Xiujing.

He wanted to follow Song Xiujing and make sure that she arrived in the capital safely.

As for the two letters, it’s not too late now.
