How can I bow my head and serve the powerful officials?

"Whatever it is, since it came secretly, there must be something fishy going on."

Xie Chengze tapped the rim of his teacup and ordered, "Send someone to check, and be careful not to alert the enemy."

Sheng Yiren nodded, "Okay."

After saying that, he realized that the conversation between the two might seem very strange to Cheng Wuxue. After all, she was the daughter of a minister, and "Shen Yuanyuan" was just an ordinary citizen. But at this moment, it was the common people who were "commanding" the daughter.

So she quickly explained, "She meant that I could ask my father's people to check it out."

Cheng Wuxue smiled and said, "You don't have to say more, I understand."

She took a deep look at Xie Chengze. It seemed that Shen Yuanyuan was not an ordinary citizen, or even a woman.

If she still can't guess that this person is the current regent, then she has read those books in vain and can forget about becoming the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple.

Xie Chengze and Sheng Yiren coughed twice at the same time. One of them looked up and started saying that the weather was really nice today, and the other one looked down and started saying that today's tea was also good. Cheng Wuxue couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, shaking her head helplessly.

Originally, she thought that the Second Prince was an arrogant and incompetent person, but after meeting him today, she realized how wrong she was. How could a person who could say that women can hold up half the sky be wrong?

I just don’t know when Sheng Yiren and the Second Prince got in touch?

Never heard of it?

Cheng Wuxue always felt that Sheng Yiren was hiding something from him.

While the three of them were thinking about their own things, the list of people to be met was finally announced. Xie Chengze and the other two were put into a group and soon met the owner of poem number three.

"It's you?"

Seeing the person coming, Sheng Yiren blurted out subconsciously.

"Miss, do you know me?" Jiang Yuan was a little confused. He looked at Sheng Yiren who had a surprised expression on her face. He always felt that the other person's figure looked familiar, but the face was very unfamiliar.

Realizing that she had overreacted, Sheng Yiren immediately stopped talking, "Oh, I don't know him."

Xie Chengze looked at Young Master Jiang who appeared here, and felt that the fate between people was really wonderful. Jiang Yuan's eyes also fell on Xie Chengze, and he felt that this person looked even more familiar, "You..."

"Oh, let me introduce myself." Xie Chengze raised his hand to cover his face, pretending to be reserved, "My name is Cheng Wuxue, and I am the daughter of the Dali Temple Minister."

Cheng Wuxue on the side:?

Sheng Yiren: Poof~

Jiang Yuan looked at Xie Chengze in confusion, not understanding why he introduced himself. It was his first time to attend the Peach Blossom Banquet in the capital, and he didn't know the rules, so he could only introduce himself as well, "I am Jiang Yuan, the nephew of the current Concubine Rou."

After saying that, he looked at Cheng Wuxue again.

Cheng Wuxue had no choice but to say, "My name is Shen Yuanyuan, um... an ordinary family."

Jiang Yuan looked at the gorgeous clothes she was wearing and wondered if she looked deceptive. How could an ordinary person afford such nice clothes?

Maybe the girl is more low-key.

But what he couldn't understand the most was that he considered himself to have mediocre talent and wrote poetry purely to make up the numbers, so how could he be favored by these three women who seemed to have extraordinary status?

Could it be that... when he entered Beijing, they got news about him, recognized his handwriting, and wanted to take his money?

After all, he was so poor that he only had money on him, and Jiang Yuan really couldn't find anything about himself that could attract a noble lady.

His father also said that as a businessman, if he could marry a noblewoman in the future, it would be a great blessing for his ancestors...

Just as Jiang Yuan was daydreaming, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Jiang Yuan?"

Jiang Yuan turned around and looked at the man in white who was walking over. He couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Lord Shen? You are here too?"

Shen Yuan stopped in front of the four people, his eyes casually swept over Xie Chengze who was covering his face, and then retracted his gaze, "Yes, I came here to accompany someone."

Jiang Yuan nodded involuntarily. He had indeed heard from those young masters in the capital that Shen Yuan might come, and he would come with the most beautiful woman in the capital. So...

He couldn't help but cast his gaze towards the three people beside him.

Is the daughter named Sheng Yiren one of these three people?

One is called Cheng Wuxue, the other is called Shen Yuanyuan, and the remaining one - Jiang Yuan cast his gaze towards Sheng Yiren, "Could this be the daughter of the Minister of Rites, Miss Sheng?"

Her appearance was indeed stunning, and she could be called the most beautiful woman in the capital. However, after meeting the Second Prince in Liaozhou, his standards had obviously become much higher, so he would not be so rude as to stare at her.

Sheng Yiren snorted lightly and said nothing.

Realizing that Sheng Yiren seemed unfriendly to him, Jiang Yuan felt somewhat confused. Just as he was about to ask himself how he had offended her, he saw Shen Yuan nod slightly towards Cheng Wuxue and greet her, "Miss Cheng."

Cheng Wuxue also nodded slightly and said in return, "Lord Shen."

Jiang Yuan opened his mouth, "Miss Cheng? Aren't you Miss Shen?"

Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Miss Shen?"

"Yes!" Jiang Yuan nodded quickly, "Isn't it Shen Yuanyuan?"

Shen Yuan glanced at Xie Chengze, who quickly lowered his head guiltily, fiddling with the corner of his sleeve.

He shook his head helplessly and reached out to grab Xie Chengze by the back of his collar, "You guys chat, I'll borrow this person for a while."

Watching Xie Chengze being ruthlessly dragged away, Jiang Yuan scratched the back of his head, confused for a moment.

Could it be that the one who was just taken away was Sheng Yiren?

Cheng Wuxue coughed lightly and said, "Let me introduce myself again. I'm Cheng Wuxue. The guy just now was just joking."

"Oh oh oh." Jiang Yuan understood, then looked at Sheng Yiren and suddenly realized, "So this is Miss Shen, right?"

Sheng Yiren: ...

Sheng Yiren gritted her teeth and said, "That's right, I am Miss Shen!"

What on earth is wrong with his brain! No wonder he needs to hire a kind housekeeper. If the Jiang family's huge wealth really falls into his hands, I'm afraid it won't take long for it to be swindled away!

Sheng Yiren couldn't help but wonder if the Jiang family had another illegitimate child. Jiang Yuan was not as business-minded as His Highness said. During the time in Liaozhou, Jiang Yuan didn't show any tendency to seize the right to host the Ice Sculpture Festival.

Haha, it's impossible that she was fooled by His Highness, right?

No, no, no.

How could His Highness deceive her?

Woo woo woo, His Highness is not really fooling her, is he?

Seeing Sheng Yiren beginning to exude a decadent aura, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but panic, wondering if he had guessed wrong again?

Because he liked studying stones since he was a child, he always either stayed in the shop or ran around. He didn't have much contact with women, and he only learned how to please girls from his father.

So Jiang Yuan quickly took out a piece of valuable jade from his purse and handed it to Sheng Yiren, "Don't be angry, I just arrived in the capital and I'm not familiar with the people here. If I have offended you, please forgive me."

If he hadn't been looking for the young peddler who was good at calculating with an abacus, he wouldn't have planned to come to the capital.
