Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 132 The Coming Son-in-Law

Xuyuan has lost count of how many people have said similar things to her.

Everyone told her that the other person was not simple and the farther away from him the better.

She doesn't know whether the others are genuine or not.

But she didn't believe what Qi Shengxin said.

After all, Shen Yichuan would not hurt her.

It was like this in the previous life. Shen Yichuan didn't know that she was a descendant of the Xu family, but he continued to help her and never asked for anything in return.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan said, "But I feel that making friends is not as simple as Master Qi said. If everyone in the world is powerful, then should I not make any friends?"

"I'm talking about Shen Yichuan."

"But I knew him earlier than I knew Master Qi."

Xu Yuan looked at Qi Shengxin, and when she saw the moment of daze in Qi Shengxin's eyes, she spoke again: "Mr. Qi, Shen Yichuan is my teacher. Even if you are doing this for my own good, you shouldn't say such things."

After Xu Yuan finished speaking, he stood up and said, "People with different ideals cannot work together. Master Qi, thank you for your reminder, but I really don't need it. Goodbye."

He made a wish and clasped his fists, then bowed slightly.

She was about to leave when Qi Shengzhu stood up and asked, "Why are you leaving so suddenly?"

Qi Shengxin said nothing.

Qi Shengzhu looked at Xu Yuan and said, "Mr. Xu, you misunderstood. My brother's intention was not to tell you not to make friends with Mr. Shen, but to remind you not to get involved in Mr. Shen's troubles. You have just arrived in the capital and don't understand anything. It is best to protect yourself."

After Qi Shengzhu finished speaking, he sighed and said, "Mr. Xu, I know you are a rough diamond and you will have a bright future, but have you ever thought about whether your character is too stubborn?"

In the past two days, Qi Shengzhu has come to understand Xu Yuan.

To say that Xuyuan is talented, of course he is.

But at the same time, the wish is made with a high spirit.

She is not afraid of offending anyone, and she is neither smooth nor worldly.

He has good character, but such a person will not go far in officialdom.

If you don't remind yourself, making a wish will hurt you sooner or later.

Hearing Qi Shengzhu's words, Xu Yuan smiled and asked, "So, should we forget where we came from for the sake of our future? Shen Yichuan is my mentor. Once a mentor, always a father. If I stand by and watch others slander him, then I have read this book of sages in vain."

Make a wish and don’t hesitate any more.

Open the door and go out.

Only Qi Shengxin straightened his back slightly and said nothing.

The maid closed the door.

Qi Shengxin didn't look back, but asked: "Zhu'er, am I really not as good as Shen Yichuan in everything?"

In the capital, only he and Shen Yichuan can be compared.

But in fact, he was inferior to Shen Yichuan in every aspect.

He is not as popular with girls as Shen Yichuan, not as talented as Shen Yichuan, and not as free and easy as Shen Yichuan.

He is inferior to Shen Yichuan in everything.

He even felt that he was no longer as good as Making a Wish.

How can he be considered a gentleman? He is clearly a complete villain.

"Brother, you are always the best."

Qi Shengzhu looked at Qi Shengxin, smiled slightly, and said, "You are a child of destiny, why do you care about what others say?"

Qi Shengxin shook his head, "It's different."

Seeing the lonely look on Qi Shengxin's face, Qi Shengzhu also fell silent.

Aren't she and Qi Shengxin the same?

Qi Shengxin considers Shen Yichuan as his opponent, while she considers Song Xiuyue as her enemy.

The difference is that Shen Yichuan is calm and gentle, while Song Xiu Yue is arrogant and domineering, so she can easily defeat Song Xiu Yue.

But Shen Yichuan is different.

He is the best man in the capital.

If the Queen Mother had not issued an edict early on, she would have been the only one who could decide on Shen Yichuan's marriage. Over the years, the number of people who went to the Shen family to discuss marriage would have broken down the door of the Shen family.

She had also tried to show her courtesy to the Queen Mother, but she only responded with a few words.

Shen Yichuan, don't marry a new rich man.

Just four words ruined her deep affection.

Even though Qi Jia had an official as high as the prime minister, in the eyes of the people in the capital, he was just a new noble, not a true aristocrat.

There are many aristocratic families in the capital, and the Qi family is considered to be at the bottom, not even among the famous ones.

She could only hide her love again and again and not let anyone know.

In her heart, Qi Shengxin could not compare to Shen Yichuan.

However, as Xu Yuan said, Qi Shengxin is her brother, so her brother is the most powerful person.

Shen Yichuan kept looking at Qi Shengxin's private room.

Seeing Xuyuan coming out, he couldn't help but smile, and then sent someone to invite Xuyuan.

In just a moment, Xu Yuan sat in Shen Yichuan's private room.

Qi Shengxin looked at the two people who were talking and laughing across from him, and his face couldn't help but darken. Qi Shengzhu saw this and couldn't help but mutter, "The relationship between Xu Yuan and Master Shen is really unusual."

When they first met, she thought they were just casual acquaintances.

After returning home, thinking that Shen Yichuan had given Xu Yuan a courtyard, he believed that they must have an unusual relationship, so he went to find Qi Chengen again and said that he wanted to thank Xu Yuan.

This is what happened next.

I never thought that Xu Yuan and Shen Yichuan had such a good relationship.

Her eyes dimmed, her fingers tapped the table lightly, and she slowly looked away.

When Xuyuan arrived at Shen Yichuan's private room, Shen Yichuan was the only one in the room.

Before she could open her mouth, she heard Shen Yichuan lazily say, "I know you don't like the Third Master, so I've asked him to go to another private room."

After Shen Yichuan finished speaking, he glanced at Qi Shengxin who was sitting upright opposite him, and said with a smile: "Why, did they make you angry? Walking away in anger is not your style."

After hearing what Shen Yichuan said, Xu Yuan said, "Mr. Shen is very capable. I think you already know this a long time ago. Why should I say more?"

After making the wish, he sat down in front of the small table and the smile on his face faded.

Today's actions must have offended Qi Shengxin.

The best case scenario is that Qi Shengxin won't make things difficult for her.

But her chances of entering Wenhua Palace through the Qi family became slim.

She had to find another way.

However, she has no regrets.

Even if she knew about the conflict of interest and the consequences, she would not regret it.

She has her persistence, bottom line and morality.

Hearing Xuyuan's words, Shen Yichuan smiled, and also sat down anxiously, waving a feather fan, and said lightly: "Xuyuan, I still think that you can't understand people's hearts."

"What do you mean?"

"If you want the Qi family to help you, the best way is for you to prove your talent and create the appearance that the Shen family wants to win you over."

Shen Yichuan looked at Xu Yuan and said, "When I heard what you said that day, I thought you had figured it out. I didn't expect that you are still stuck in the game."

Seeing Xuyuan was silent.

Shen Yichuan continued, "Qi Shengxin has always regarded me as his rival, so as long as I show interest in an item or a person, he will definitely do the same. Qi Shengxin will compete with me, and you can be the one who benefits."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan nodded slowly and said, "I understand."

"As long as you know."

Shen Yichuan looked at Xu Yuan, then looked at Qi Shengxin's private room opposite, and slowly said, "Qi Shengxin is a gentleman, he is not to be feared. What you should be on guard against is Qi Shengzhu who is used to using gentle places as traps. She is not some secluded daughter who never leaves the house. She is very smart. Don't be careless and become someone's live-in son-in-law."
