Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up
Chapter 691 Money makes things easier
"Madam Shen, could it be that Xu Feng is~"
Xu Mingchang looked inquiring, but he didn't point it out.
Shen Ping nodded slowly without saying anything, but her expression said it all. Xu Mingchang understood immediately.
"How did you know?" He was surprised. He had taken Xu Feng in for more than a year without noticing anything. Not only himself, but even his wife didn't notice anything wrong with her.
Xu Mingchang suddenly felt ashamed, wondering whether Xu Feng hid it well or the two of them didn't care enough about her.
Unexpectedly, Shen Ping discovered her secret after only meeting Xu Feng a few times.
"This is a woman's intuition~" Shen Ping said with a joking smile.
"Master Xu, just tell me whether you agree or not?" Shen Ping looked directly into Xu Mingchang's eyes: "Don't forget, the Tenth Prince is not only my son-in-law, he is also your friend."
Her intuition told her that Xu Mingchang would definitely agree.
"Humph!"
Xu Mingchang's mouth twitched: "Shen Ping, you are too mean. You knew that the emperor was looking for her, but you robbed me of a good opportunity to make a contribution!"
"Ha ha……"
Shen Ping chuckled: "If it weren't for me, you don't know when you would find out that she is the person the emperor is looking for.
Besides, you are helping your brother, and I owe you a favor. If you need my help in the future, just let me know."
Xu Mingchang remained silent. He knew that if he reported to the emperor that he had found the princess, he might be rewarded, but he might not be promoted.
But if the reward is gold, silver or jewelry, that is absolutely tempting, and no one would think that the money is too much.
If I give this opportunity to Shen Ping, I will lose it, but it will be an extra bargaining chip for saving the Tenth Prince.
And in this way, Shen Ping owed him another favor.
"Sir~"
At this moment, Dong came out of the wing room with a frown on her face. Seeing Shen Ping, she forced a smile. Then, she pulled Xu Mingchang aside and spoke to him in a low voice.
Shen Ping had no intention of eavesdropping, but she had no choice because she was a martial artist and her ears were too sensitive.
Faintly, Shen Ping seemed to hear Dong asking Xu Mingchang for money, saying that she did not have enough money and would need to find a shop and purchase goods later.
"What a loser woman!"
Xu Mingchang cursed inwardly, he only received a salary of one hundred taels of silver a year, and the expenses of his entire family depended on that little money, as well as the need to provide food and drink for the entire mansion.
But this woman always likes to buy clothes, rouge and powder, jewelry and hairpins. Fortunately, Madam Shen sent her a few sets of skin care products, otherwise she would have to buy other facial masks.
"I don't have any money on hand. I'll give it all to you!" Xu Mingchang frowned.
"I don't care. I have decided to open this shop anyway. You must find a way for me." Dong said this and turned back to her room.
"Ugh!"
It’s really a headache, Xu Mingchang looked helpless.
Listening to the conversation between the couple, Shen Ping suddenly had an idea.
"Lord Xu, are you having any difficulties?" Shen Ping asked as if nothing had happened.
"Hey~"
Xu Mingchang looked at Shen Ping, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "How about this, if you can find a way to get me a shop, I will let you take Xu Feng to the capital."
"Row!"
Shen Ping agreed without saying a word. This was exactly what she had in mind. Now that Xu Mingchang had brought it up, she didn't need to say anything, and she wouldn't have to owe him a favor.
"How about this, to show my sincerity, the five hundred taels of silver can be used to buy a shop." As he said that, Shen Ping took out a five hundred tael silver note and handed it to Xu Mingchang.
"Okay, that's cool enough!"
Xu Mingchang raised his lips and flicked the banknote: "Deal."
Money makes things easier. Dong got the silver note and went to the pawnshop the next day. By chance, she ran into someone selling a shop. As soon as the other party left, Dong arrived and made a quick buck.
Dong even took Shen Ping to see the shop, wanting to hear her opinion. Shen Ping looked at the shop and thought that the location of the shop was very good, right at the intersection and with a large flow of people.
There was a clothing store next to it and several brothels a few hundred meters away. The key point was that this shop also had a second floor. Shen Ping said it was good. In the end, Dong spent three hundred taels of silver to buy the shop.
In this way, there are still 200 taels of silver on hand, which is enough to purchase goods.
Shen Ping stayed in Xu's house for two nights. Xu Mingchang also told Dong that Xu Feng and Shen Ping were going to the capital, saying that he would take Xu Feng to the capital to broaden his horizons.
Dong was busy with the shop's affairs at the moment and had no time to think about anything else. After hearing what Xu Mingchang said, she did not doubt it and was even happy for Xu Feng.
Knowing that Shen Ping was leaving, Dong had breakfast prepared early on the third morning. As soon as Shen Ping got up, breakfast was ready.
"Madam Shen, Feng'er is a little naughty, you have to be more tolerant of him. If he does anything wrong, just discipline him." After all, Dong was still reluctant to part with Feng'er, so she kept nagging to Shen Ping.
"Okay! Madam Xu, don't worry." Shen Ping said seriously.
Seeing that his godfather and godmother agreed to let him go to the capital, Xu Feng was extremely happy and couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
Mrs. Dong scolded, "You kid, you are so happy, you can't wait to leave your godfather and godmother~"
At the beginning, she didn't like Xu Feng, thinking she was uneducated and a little beggar.
Later, as they spent more time together, she discovered that Xu Feng was smart, cute, and carefree.
"Godmother, I understand!" Xu Feng lowered his head, tears welling up in his eyes.
If his godfather and godmother had not taken him in, he would probably still be living among the beggars and might have starved to death. How could he dare to hope to go to the capital to find his biological father?
"The capital is not like this small place. You'd better not cause trouble. If you have any problems, you have to discuss it with Madam Shen." Dong said earnestly.
Xu Feng nodded repeatedly, not daring to look into Dong's eyes. He was afraid that if he looked up at her, he would burst into tears.
"Alright, alright!" Xu Mingchang frowned. "It's a good thing that she can go to the capital to see the world. Why is it like a life-and-death separation?"
He did not tell Mrs. Dong that Xu Feng was a girl, and not only that, she was the emperor's daughter.
Xu Mingchang thought that he should wait until they left and then find a chance to tell her to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Xu Mingchang suddenly realized that he had overlooked an important piece of information, and quickly lowered his voice to tell Shen Ping: "Madam Shen, when you arrive in the capital, you can go to the Military Affairs Office to find Liang Minshu, Lord Liang.
He is a very good friend of the Tenth Prince. It is impossible for him not to know about what happened to the Prince, and it is even more impossible for him to sit back and do nothing. However, you'd better go to Liang Mansion to find him, so as not to arouse suspicion. I'll write you the address. "
As Xu Mingchang spoke, he walked to the desk, picked up his pen and wrote a line of small regular script, and handed it to Shen Ping.
