Hongfeng Tavern, old location.
Shen Yanhuan, who was dressed in men's clothing, ordered a lot of good wine and meat very generously, and then said to Wu Sheyue excitedly: "It's been so long, I thought you wouldn't come to see me anymore."
Wu Sheyue poked her chin with her chopsticks, "You didn't come to see me either."
"Don't mention it... I was grounded by my parents." Shen Yanhuan sighed sadly: "I was caught when I went back that day, and they smelled of alcohol on me! I died tragically."
Wu Sheyue asked curiously, "Huh? How are you now? Has the traitor been found?"
A trace of coldness and hatred flashed in Shen Yanhuan's eyes, "I found it, a third-class girl who was sold by me."
If a wealthy family sells it, it can only be a brothel, and it should end up like Chuntao. Wu Sheyue nodded thoughtfully, "Yes."
The food and drinks arrived quickly, and Wu Sheyue asked her, "By the way, there will be a Hundred Flowers Banquet in a while. Huan'er, you will go, right?"
"Of course, how could you not go with such a good thing?" Shen Yanhuan raised her eyebrows proudly and said, "I went there once last year and it was quite fun. By the way, is this your first time going this year?"
"Yeah, so... I don't know what to do."
Shen Yanhuan calmly comforted her and said: "Don't worry, there are so many people, everyone has to prepare a program and gifts, there are so many people. As long as you don't make mistakes, it doesn't matter if your preparations are mediocre. But if you It’s really difficult to get ahead. There are only a few people who come out on top every year, so it’s hard~”
A smile flashed in Wu Sheyue's eyes, "I really plan to stand out this time."
"Huh? I thought you didn't like fame and fortune~" Shen Yanhuan was a little surprised. She didn't think Wu Sheyue was that kind of person.
Wu Sheyue shook her head and said: "I was forced to do it. I don't want those people in my family to get certain things."
Shen Yanhuan remembered what Wu Sheyue said last time, so she nodded sympathetically, "Although I don't care much about this Hundred Flowers Banquet, if you need help, just tell me."
Wu Sheyue poked the plate with her chopsticks and said, "Then... do you know Jiang Ying?"
"I know her, but I'm not familiar with her, but I remember she has a good relationship with Wu Liuyun."
Wu Sheyue nodded and said, "Oh, I've seen her a few times recently, always with Wu Liuyun. I wonder how she behaves on a daily basis?"
Shen Yanhuan held her chin and thought for a while, "As a person? Not bad, quite enthusiastic. Everyone smiles when he meets him, so he feels quite friendly. Wu Liuyun is cold and cold, and the two of them complement each other very well. Friends are quite interesting. What did Jiang Ying do to you? "
Wu Sheyue couldn't help but smile after hearing this, very enthusiastic? Very kind? It seems that he is indeed too warm and friendly~ She said casually: "I've just been confused lately and can't remember my past acquaintance with Jiang Ying."
Shen Yanhuan took a sip of wine and asked the fairy fruit to be poured for her again. Then he looked at Wu Sheyue's expression meaningfully and asked with a smile: "You and Jiang Ying don't want to deal with each other? Did she do anything for Wu Liuyun? You wanted to suppress people at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. Could it be because of her?"
Wu Sheyue raised her eyebrows and looked at her, "You really can see everything~ You even told me that you couldn't catch the spy yourself, your mind is obviously spinning so fast."
"I never said I was stupid. It's just that I trusted those slaves too much in the past, and my methods were unfamiliar. I made them live too comfortably, and that's why they capsized." When talking about those betrayers, Shen Yanhuan's face showed a rare expression. A hint of disdain.
"That's true." Wu Sheyue thought for a moment, then confessed to Shen Yanhuan: "To tell you the truth, I did have some old grudges with Jiang Ying when I was not clear-headed. At first, I thought she was so It was her own idea to bully me. But now that I have recovered from my illness, after these few contacts, I found that Jiang Ying is actually not difficult to figure out, she is just Wu Liuyun's little follower."
Whatever Jiang Ying did should be what Wu Liuyun wanted. In the past, Wu Sheyue thought that Wu Liuyun was the least willing to pay attention to them in the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, but now it seems... that's not the case at all. From top to bottom in this prime minister's house, no matter whether he is a concubine or a concubine, no matter how high or low he is, there is no one who can be picked as a good person
"Then what did she do?" Shen Yanhuan was interested. She had been full of weird thoughts about Wu Sheyue's life in the Prime Minister's Mansion since last time.
Wu Sheyue's eyes dimmed, and she suddenly thought of what Ning'er said on the day of the birthday banquet. Then he said casually: "Just like others, they were beaten and scolded~ It was nothing more than bullying. I was confused at the time. I forgot that I was willing to live in peace in the past, but they were not willing. I have nothing to worry about. Please help me. , I want to find out Jiang Ying’s background, and I also want to deal with these ‘family members’.”
To deal with your own family? Shen Yanhuan seemed to be gloating and smiled, "Fortunately, there are not so many people in my family who are against me. I can't cure just these few slaves. It seems that the more men marry, the more chaotic the family becomes. Jump. I have to keep my eyes open to find a husband from now on~ I don’t want to be too carefree."
"This is the right idea. It's better to live your whole life by yourself than to find a man who is flirtatious!" Wu Sheyue sighed and slapped the table. "You said that no one is so poor as to die. If you don't marry, you won't be able to live. It's better to marry and have children than to be angry. Be at ease on your own.”
Shen Yanhuan agreed deeply, picked up the wine bowl and touched it again.
—
They ate, drank, and chatted for a long time, and finally paid the bill and went to wander on the street.
The street was very lively with people coming and going. Shen Yanhuan and Wu Sheyue were walking in front holding hands, while Ning'er and Xianguo followed behind.
Because Shen Yanhuan and Xian Guo went out in men's clothes today. The four of them walked together, looking like two pairs of lovers, master and servant. Such a "talented man and beautiful woman" made many passers-by look back frequently.
Wu Sheyue was a little short, and Shen Yanhuan was very tall. She held Shen Yanhuan's arm, looking very charming. However, Wu Sheyue didn't notice anything wrong at all and continued chatting with Shen Yanhuan.
"Jiang Ying is happy to be Wu Liuyun's foil, and is willing to be used as a gunman. She wants to die, but I can't do anything about it. You said, if I stay passive and don't fight back unless they hit me, will they think I'm easy to bully? "
Shen Yanhuan also held Wu Sheyue's hand and said thoughtfully: "This is very difficult. In the past two years, they were the ones who took the lead. It's easy to make no mistakes, but it's hard to get ahead."
"Then we have to find a way..." Besides, she didn't quite believe that these people would let her go at the Hundred Flowers Banquet.
Shen Yanhuan suddenly leaned over and asked in a mysterious whisper: "Hey, actually you already have an idea, right? Tell me what you plan to do." (To be continued)
