Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 153 Wei Chenyi

After Qi Shengxin left, Xu Yuan quietly took a look at the door.

Seeing that the alley was full of people again, Daoxin stopped thinking about going to look for Wu Shiming.

In the afternoon, it started to drizzle.

When Xuyuan had some free time, he sat by the window and read a book. He did not get up until the evening and went to the kitchen to cook two bowls of noodles.

Probably because it had rained, there was no one waiting outside the alley. Xu Yuan took a look, went out cautiously and knocked on the door next door.

Chen Shan is reliable and Xu Yuan trusts him.

Not long after he knocked on the door, someone came over with small steps and carefully moved the door open a crack. After seeing that it was Xuyuan, Wu Shiming opened the door.

He said, "Xuyuan, how have you been these past two days? Have you not gone out?"

"I'm fine."

Xu Yuan raised the bowl in his hand and said, "I cooked two bowls of noodles. Let's eat together."

Wu Shiming brought out a table and the two of them sat down in the yard.

After the rain, the weather was a little cold, so I made a wish: "Is your grandfather buried?"

"It's fine now, thank you very much, if it weren't for you..."

Wu Shiming stopped talking, tears flashing in his eyes.

This is not hypocritical.

After his grandfather died, he lived alone on the streets and met many people.

Those people laughed at him and thought he was a beggar. Not to mention helping him, even giving him a bite of food was looked down upon.

Not to mention his experience in the gambling house.

It was at that time that Wu Shiming vowed that he must become the superior person.

for sure.

"It's just human nature."

Wishing doesn't care.

She only paid a small amount of money, which was really nothing.

Wu Shiming nodded and said, "You are a good person."

After finishing the meal, Wu Shiming immediately went to wash the dishes. When he came back and saw Xu Yuan hadn't left yet, he asked in confusion, "Is there anything else?"

"nothing."

Xu Yuan smiled but didn't ask.

This morning, she went out to find Wu Shiming, and she really wanted to ask about the smuggled salt matter.

In her previous life, she didn’t know what business Wu Shiming was doing.

All we know is that Wu Shiming built a tall building and entertained guests in just a few years, but his life of glory was then turned into dust.

If you sell illegal salt, the fate you will suffer is indeed pitiful.

If Xu Yuan had known that Wu Shiming was doing this kind of business, he would not have made friends with him.

She wanted to ask clearly and draw a clear line.

But when she thought of how Wu Shiming, who was beaten all over but still held his grandfather's tablet tightly, she felt that the answer... seemed no longer important.

Wu Shiming is the same as her.

Carrying the pain of the death of a loved one, being ridiculed, mocked and abused.

He has never been to school, so he cannot take the national examination.

He had no choice.

It wasn't that Wu Shiming wanted to smuggle salt, but those indifferent people forced him to take this path.

Wu Shiming smiled and said, "Then I'll take you back."

Make a wish and nod.

It’s right next door, not far away.

When Xu Yuan closed the door, he looked at Wu Shiming and reminded him, "Xiao Wu, there is something I still want to tell you."

"You say it."

Wu Shiming smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes.

He made a wish, "Many people in the world are greedy for money and forget about morality. Only those who know each other from humble beginnings can be friends. If you come for profit, once the profit is gone, the morality will be gone. No matter who you make friends with in the future, remember to keep your eyes open and don't be deceived."

Wu Shiming's smile froze for a moment, then he smiled again and said, "I really can't make any good friends in the gambling house. I'll take note of what you said."

Hearing Wu Shiming's words, Xu Yuan smiled and said nothing else.

Xu Yuan closed the door and went back. The moment Wu Shiming turned around, the smile on his face disappeared completely.

He always felt that the words of making a wish had a certain meaning...

Are you referring to the prince?

How do you know when making a wish?

Wu Shiming fell asleep with doubts, and the same went for Xuyuan.

She looked at the roof and felt that the move she was most confident in had been a wrong one.

She tried to get to know Wu Shiming in order to help Geshu out of his predicament, but now, Wu Shiming has become the biggest variable.

She couldn't get involved in the private salt business.

If so, what else can she do...

-

The next morning, Qi Sheng's new servant arrived.

After giving the previous years' exam papers to Xuyuan, he left in a hurry.

Xu Yuan moved the books into the house, but before he finished packing, he heard someone knocking on the door.

She washed her hands, and as usual, took a look through the crack in the door before preparing to open it.

The servant was still standing outside the door, and there was no one else.

Xu Yuan saw this, opened the door and asked, "What's the matter?"

The servant looked at Xu Yuan and said, "My master wants to see you."

"Your master is..."

Before Xu Yuan finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of someone walking towards him from the carriage, and his breath stopped.

The hand holding the door clenched silently, and Xu Yuan looked at Wei Chenyi walking slowly towards him, his eyes full of anger.

But after a moment, she hid her anger and looked cold.

The servant said, "The Imperial Censor, it's Wei Chenyi."

"It turns out to be the Imperial Censor."

Xu Yuan smiled, her hand still on the door, she said: "The courtyard is dirty and messy, I am afraid that it will dirty the Imperial Censor's people, I am sorry that I cannot entertain you, please go back."

After making a wish, the door should be closed.

Seeing this, Wei Chenyi laughed and said, "Why, the Prime Minister can enter this gate, the Grand Marshal can enter, but I, the Imperial Censor, can't?"

Wei Chen has white hair but a kind smile.

Although Xu Yuan was so indifferent, he was not angry at all. Instead, he became even more friendly.

"I am also from Hanzhou, and I haven't heard about the recent situation in Hanzhou for many years. Do you really want to be so cold and heartless and keep me at a distance?"

He made a wish without saying anything, and there was coldness in his eyes.

The three highest officials in the court.

Prime Minister Qi Chengen, Grand Commandant Song Tiancheng, and Censor Wei Chenyi.

Xuyuan understood these three words very clearly.

Qi Chengen had a gentle personality, did not like fighting, and never got involved in right and wrong. Although he was the prime minister in the court, he always adhered to the doctrine of the mean.

Wei Chenyi is a smiling tiger, always smiling. Although he is old, his health is better than Song Tiancheng's.

Likewise, he is also the most calculating person.

Song Tiancheng has a bad temper, moodiness, and is actually a lustful person.

For so many years, his lustful and licentious affairs had never been reported, all because he had a generous wife. No matter who Song Tiancheng liked, she would welcome that person into her house.

So, among the three, Song Tiancheng is the easiest one to attack.

Qi Chengen came second, and finally Wei Chenyi.

Like her, Wei Chenyi also had the leverage over countless court officials and knew the secrets of most people, including Song Tiancheng and Qi Chengen.

This is why Wei Chen thinks he has remained standing for so many years.

Xu Yuan forced himself to calm down, and then said with a smile: "You are joking, Your Excellency. It's just that my yard is really dirty and messy, and I am afraid it will offend Your Excellency. Can you let me clean it up a bit?"

Wei Chenyi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "In that case, it won't hurt for me to wait for a while."

Make a wish and go back behind closed doors.

She leaned against the wooden door tightly, and it took her a long time to calm the throbbing in her heart.

She could not forget, could not forget the old and pitiful face of Wei Chenyi during the fire disaster.

She wanted Wei Chen to die and not have a good ending.

Xu Yuan closed his eyes tightly, forced back all the tears, and hurried into the inner room to tidy up. Then he came out and said, "Doctor Yushi, please."
