Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

Chapter 654 Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger

“Uh uh~”

Mr. Li came back to his senses, coughed awkwardly twice, and said seriously: "Madam Shen, to be honest, I became rich by buying this house.

But now my business is in Beijing, and this house is empty anyway. It takes a long time to go back and forth from Beijing, and it is not a long-term solution, so I am thinking of selling it."

After hearing Mr. Li's explanation, Shen Ping found it reasonable and did not ask any more questions.

After all, this house is really good. First, it is close to the stewed pork restaurant. Second, the price is not expensive. In addition, I heard them say that the feng shui is good. It sounds so mysterious.

I'm going to buy a house anyway, and the geographical location is good in all aspects, so it's perfect.

Next, the three of them prepared to go to the county government to handle the house deed.

Uncle Jian got anxious when he saw this: "Master, if you sell this house, what should I do?"

"Oh, look at me, I forgot about this!" Master Li frowned and slapped his forehead: "How about this, Uncle Jian, this house doesn't belong to me anymore. You and I are master and servant. I will give you two taels of silver. This silver can be regarded as your retirement support~"

As he spoke, Mr. Li took out two taels of silver from his sleeve and stuffed them into Uncle Jian's pocket.

"How can this be possible?" Uncle Jian quickly refused.

To be honest, this master was his savior. He also wanted to help him take care of the house and repay him, but now he couldn't.

Mr. Li was going to sell the house and didn't need him anymore. In an instant, Uncle Jian seemed to have aged ten years.

He didn't know where to go next, so he decided to go back to his old ways and beg again.

Mr. Li was also a kind-hearted person. He saw Uncle Jian's dilemma and said to Shen Ping, "Madam Shen, Uncle Jian is a lonely man, and he is a loyal and honest person." At this point, he hesitated.

Shen Ping understood what Master Li meant. Before he could finish, she raised her lips and said to Uncle Jian with a smile, "Uncle Jian, how about this? I need someone to watch the door anyway, so you can stay here!"

"Really!" Uncle Jian was overjoyed and couldn't contain his joy.

"Of course!" Shen Ping nodded with a smile.

Instead of asking a stranger to guard the door, it is better to keep Uncle Jian.

"Eh!"

Uncle Jian was so happy that he didn't know what to say. Suddenly his eyes lit up: "I'll go right now and clean the house inside and out, and then you can move in." With that, Uncle Jian smiled and walked away.

"It seems that Madam Shen is also a kind-hearted person!" Mr. Li said admiringly: "Such a person will have good luck."

"Master Li, you are not bad either~"

At this point, the two looked at each other and smiled: "Hahaha~"

Next, the three of them went to the county government office, paid the money, signed their names with the chief clerk, and completed the house sale procedures.

"Mr. Yu'an, what a great thing! You have bought a new big house!" The chief clerk complimented with a smile.

This Yu'an man is really not an ordinary person! In the past year or so, he first bought a hillside, then built a few large houses, then bought a shop, and now bought a large house again!"

"This is all thanks to you!" Shen Ping smiled, and then took out another two taels of silver from her sleeve and stuffed it into the clerk's pocket: "It's just a small gift. Take it with you to have tea."

The clerk was not polite at all and accepted it without blushing or beating his heart.

"So Miss Shen is the famous Yu'an!" Mr. Li was stunned with surprise. This once again overturned his imagination.

"Yu'an, can you please excuse me for a moment and talk?"

After leaving the county government office, Mr. Li suddenly said this, which scared Shen Ping.

"You two, I won't keep you company any longer. I'm leaving first." Seeing that Mr. Li had something to say to Shen Ping, the matchmaker was tactful and said goodbye.

Watching the matchmaker walk away, Master Li looked around and said in a low voice: "Excuse me, Madam Shen, is the current Tenth Prince your son-in-law~"

Shen Ping was shocked. Not many people knew about this. Besides, Mr. Li had just returned from the capital. What did he mean by saying this?

"Madam Shen, I mean no harm!" Fearing that Shen Ping might misunderstand him, Master Li hurriedly explained, "I have a friend in the palace who knows something about the Tenth Prince, so he specifically asked me to come to you. It's really a coincidence~"

"Master Li, let's go talk somewhere else!" Shen Ping interrupted Master Li.

Because she didn't know what Mr. Li would say, Shen Ping didn't take him to the braised pork shop to avoid arousing Si Ya's suspicion.

Shen Ping brought Mr. Li to Jufulou and sat down in a private room by the window.

Shopkeeper Qiu personally served tea and snacks, then stepped back and closed the door.

Watching the shopkeeper leave, Shen Ping raised the corner of her mouth: "There's no one else here, Master Li, just say whatever you want to say!"

Mr. Li did not answer Shen Ping's question, but asked: "If I remember correctly, this is the restaurant under the name of the Tenth Prince, right?"

"Correct!"

"I didn't expect that the prince's restaurant business is getting better and better." Mr. Li exclaimed.

"Master Li, how is the Tenth Prince now?" Shen Ping asked anxiously.

Master Li sighed, "Ah~ According to rumors, the Tenth Prince did not do the job assigned to him by the Emperor, and even made excuses, so the Emperor punished him."

Shen Ping's head buzzed, she knew nothing. It had been more than a month since she returned to Shenyang, and there was still no news.

However, I don’t know how much truth there is in what Mr. Li said.

Seeing Shen Ping's puzzled expression, Master Li knew that she didn't believe it, so he smiled and said, "I know you don't believe it, but I have good intentions. Now only you can help him!"

"What do you mean?" Shen Ping frowned. How come this matter has something to do with her again?

Listening to Mr. Li's story, Shen Ping was terrified.

It turned out that when Shenyang escorted the rice seeds back to Beijing, he not only did not receive the emperor's reward, but was also charged with a crime because he failed to collect 50 kilograms of rice.

Unexpectedly, the emperor would demote the monks after crossing the river, and change his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book. Shenyang was complaining bitterly.

He argued with the emperor, but this angered the emperor, who threw Shenyang and his group into jail and blocked the news.

Shenyang did not expect that the emperor would be so serious with him and disregard their brotherhood, but the emperor did tell him at the beginning that he must collect 50 kilograms of high-yield rice.

But I had already collected two batches, and it was still a little short of the required weight, so I thought it was no big deal.

In order not to delay the spring plowing, he hurried all the way by land and water, but he didn't expect that this would be the fate waiting for him when he returned to the capital.

Shenyang was immediately chilled to the bone. It was true that serving the emperor was like serving a tiger. When the birds were all gone, the bows were put away; when the rabbits were dead, the dogs were cooked. It seemed that the emperor had good intentions and had already thought of this trick to deal with him!

I worked so hard for the people and to share the emperor's worries, but I never expected to end up like this.

But Shenyang was thankful that he had not yet had time to report to the emperor that he had married Si Ya. Otherwise, Si Ya would have been dragged down by him.

Fortunately, Guard Zhan wrote a letter and sent someone to tell Mr. Li before he learned the news.

Mr. Li used to be in the jade business in Heyang County. He met the Tenth Prince by chance. Later, when he went to the capital, he found out that he was the Tenth Prince.
