The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 159 I can turn hostile at any time

Shen Wen stood not far from Yuncui Tower, and saw the situation of Shopkeeper Yun welcoming guests, but she didn't care. She also had doubts in her heart that this person might come for her, but after thinking about it again, she felt that it was unlikely. People said that Yuncui Tower only invited famous scholars and great scholars. She was an ordinary person and could not compare with them. She looked at the clothes she was wearing. Standing in the crowd, she was just as inconspicuous as the ordinary background flow, so she walked over calmly.

When he walked up to Shopkeeper Yun, he greeted him with a familiar smile, without any abnormality. Shopkeeper Yun asked Shen Wen, "Did this young master come here by himself? Maybe he has an appointment with someone inside?"

Shen Wen nodded, and took out an invitation from his sleeve to show it to Shopkeeper Yun. Shopkeeper Yun looked at it very carefully, staring at it for a long time before nodding and saying, "Well, someone told me to use this as a proof and invited a young master to come to our Yuncui Tower."

Shopkeeper Yun personally welcomed Shen Wen into the living room and said, "Young Master, please come this way. Your friend is in the elegant room on the second floor. Please follow me."

Shen Wen followed Shopkeeper Yun upstairs. When they reached the corner, Shen Wen suddenly covered his stomach and said, "Oh! My stomach is uncomfortable. Shopkeeper, can you tell me where the toilet is?"

Shopkeeper Yun told Shen Wen that the last room on the right was the one down the stairs.

Shen Wen told Manager Yun to wait for him at the stairs on the second floor, so he went downstairs.

Shen Wen had just walked down the last step of the stairs and turned left when a strong arm came from the side and hugged him.

Just now, when Shen Wen followed Shopkeeper Yun up the stairwell, someone gave him a signal using the reflection of a blade mirror or something, so he went downstairs again under the pretext of going to the toilet.

When Shen Wen saw the person who suddenly hugged him, he blurted out, "Chu Yanqiu? Why are you here?"

Chu Yanqiu pressed his finger on her lips and told him not to make a sound, and the two of them quietly went to a room behind them.

After closing the door, Shen Wen asked, "Chu Yanqiu, was it you who sent me the invitation?"

Chu Yanqiu shook his head. Looking at the woman's bright and happy face, he suddenly became aroused. He hugged the woman's head and put his mouth on her lips...

Shen Wen was very cooperative. It was rare for this man to take the initiative.

Chu Yanqiu was not satisfied with just this kiss, and his hands were not idle, he actually unbuttoned her clothes, belt, and underwear...

? ! ! !

Shen Wen grabbed his mischievous hand and said, "It's over! I have something else to do right now. I still have to go see the person who sent me the invitation."

Chu Yanqiu pressed her body against his chest and held her waist with his strong arms.

Chu Yanqiu said: "I know who he is. Don't go to see him. This place is not suitable at this time."

Shen Wen said: "Inappropriate? Why is it inappropriate? Isn't this a place for scholars and literati? Are you afraid that he will do the same to me as you did?"

Chu Yanqiu didn't answer, but just looked at her steadily.

His self-evident expression made Shen Wen believe it 70%.

Shen Wen said, "Then, who is he? Even if he has this idea, so what? Judging from the words in the invitation, this person is also known to me. Maybe he has a keen eye and really likes me, and he may ask to marry me. Lord Chu, I have nothing to do with you. As long as that person really falls in love with me at first sight and only wants me in this life, maybe I will marry him."

Chu Yanqiu held her hand tightly and said, "Are you telling the truth?"

Shen Wen nodded and said, "Of course it's true. You've seen my situation. I'm in urgent need of a backer who will support me unconditionally. As long as he has a strong enough backing, what's wrong with me marrying him?"

Chu Yanqiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and the cold and dangerous light in his eyes frightened Shen Wen.

Shen Wen didn't like the possessiveness of this typical feudal man. She had finally escaped from his control and was somewhat moved by his joke just now.

Shen Wen turned his face away in displeasure.

I'm really pissed off by this woman, that's all!

Maybe it's because the true love she gave in the past cannot be taken back, and she has become cold towards the man, so she doesn't trust him.

Chu Yanqiu pulled her clothes to cover her up with his fingers and said, "If you want to go, then go ahead. But I have to remind you that this guy is a difficult one, and I can't help him. His background is indeed powerful, but the life he gives you is much more difficult than that of the Ji family."

Shen Wen put his hand aside and put on her clothes by herself. She said, "It doesn't matter. I am a face-licker. As long as his face is attractive enough to make me interested."

Chu Yanqiu had a handkerchief in his hand. He held it to his nose and sniffed it, then handed it to Shen Wen and said, "When did you change your preferences to use such strong floral scents? Although the lily of the valley scent is precious, it doesn't suit you. It's too vulgar and explicit."

Shen Wen took the handkerchief, turned it to the place where the words were embroidered, and showed it to Chu Yanqiu. She said, "Look carefully, this is the word 'Ling', not my nickname."

Chu Yanqiu then became serious and took the handkerchief again to read the words.

Chu Yanqiu said, "Everyone in the capital knows that Princess Baocheng loves the scent of lily of the valley, and her name is Ling. Could this be hers? When did you go to her house and take her handkerchief?"

Shen Wen said, "Didn't you go to the mansion? It was on the street, and it wasn't taken from her. Who did you get it from? You will never guess."

Chu Yanqiu asked: "Who?"

Shen Wen said: "The handkerchief is placed on someone else, so it must be the lover."

Chu Yanqiu shook his head. He felt it was absurd. He said, "This Baocheng County Lady has a husband, and everyone in the capital knows that they are a harmonious couple. They are the envy of everyone."

Shen Wen said, "Oh? That's interesting. Who did she marry? Did she get married this year?"

Chu Yanqiu said, "She didn't just get married. She has been married for three years. She married Feng Guangming's grandson Feng Yuansi. Feng Guangming was the emperor's enlightenment teacher. He has been sitting in the position of minister for more than 20 years. He is now living in retirement. His daughter is the first wife of Prince Rui, but they have divorced and are now living in the family temple to practice. Feng Yuansi is the second grandson of the Feng family. He is young and talented. He could have entered the court to become an official through the imperial examination, but his uncle, Prince Rui, pulled a red line and betrothed him to the Princess of Baocheng. Although this Princess of Baocheng is a county lady, she enjoys more royal honors. Who said that the royal bloodline is dying? The Princess of Baocheng was granted a county lady's mansion, and his husband was married to the Princess of Baocheng like a royal princess."

Shen Wen asked, "What kind of person is Feng Yuansi? Is he a pragmatic person or someone who only likes romance?"

Chu Yanqiu thought for a moment and said, "I don't know if he is pragmatic or not, but he is an ambitious person. I have heard him talk freely among his relatives and friends, and he has unique insights on national policies and systems."

Shen Wen nodded and said, "What do you think of Baocheng County Lord?"

Chu Yanqiu said: "She must be beautiful and scheming, respected by her husband and loved by her family, and also very favored by the queen in the palace."

Shen Wen said: "Do you want to know where this handkerchief in my hand came from?"

Chu Yanqiu leaned in to listen to her whisper.

Chu Yanqiu shook his head and said, "That's unlikely. Your ninth brother is much worse than Feng Yuansi."

Shen Wen bit his finger and said, "Shen Maofeng has no talent or virtue, but he is very ambitious."

Chu Yanqiu's heart moved and he began to think about this matter seriously.

Shen Wen said, "I have told you all the evidence that Shen Ping'er left behind. Now all we need is the confessions of Qian Zuocun and Lang Ji. As long as we can convince Qian Zuocun and Lang Ji to confess the truth in court, Lord Shen will not be able to escape. Even if this old fox has a big trump card, he will not be able to turn things around."

Chu Yanqiu said, "Speaking of evidence, I want to ask, how did you know about Shen Ping'er? She hid more than one or two pieces of evidence, and in more than one place, but you actually guessed roughly. I even suspect that you have divine help."

Shen Wen said, "There is more than one place. I have guessed it. I will go to your place tomorrow when I have time to look at the evidence. As for the hiding place, you should tell me how you got it. But I thought of the old man selling wontons. I ate his wontons that day. When it comes to Shen Ping'er giving birth to a child, he seems to be a little strange. Is that what I said?"

Chu Yanqiu nodded and said, "Yes, his daughter is Shen Ping'er's personal maid. Fortunately, you mentioned the possibility to me. The maid put the key to hide the evidence in the flesh of her back."

Shen Wen stroked his chin and said, "It's better not to alert the enemy with this Lang Ji. He was ruthless enough to Shen Ping'er. This kind of person is smart and cold-blooded. He knows his own path too well. Once he makes a wrong choice, he will never look back. Do you think Xue Wenwu from the uncle's family will be able to make a breakthrough?"

Chu Yanqiu said, "I was just about to tell you about Lang Ji. As for the uncle, he was deeply in love with Shen Ping'er. You didn't know that the child Shen Ping'er gave birth to also died. It was Xue Wenwu who collected the bodies of the mother and child and buried them."

Shen Wen turned around and talked about Shen Maofeng. She said, "If I were you, I would go back and check on the Lord of Baocheng County. Although I have never met this Lord of Baocheng County, from the information you told me, Lord of Baocheng County is not a woman who is content with staying at home. The mine in Qingshui County is a huge fortune in anyone's eyes. It is a dream come true for the children of the gradually declining Shen family, and it is the same for Lord of Baocheng County."

Chu Yanqiu reached out and touched her chin and said, "It seems that you are going to use every opportunity to bring down the Shen family. But since I need help so badly and you are unwilling to submit to me, I can turn against you at any time."

Shen Wen looked at this man and felt more and more depressed. She opened his hand and said, "Don't be shameless. The Shen family colluded with the enemy and sold out the country, mined gold mines for money and killed people. If any of these crimes were charged to other ministers, it would be a great achievement for them to be promoted to the third rank. Lord Chu may not want it, but it does not mean that others do not want it. Lord Chu is still a young talent who has reached the third rank. Why do you pretend to be confused when you know the truth and embarrass me, a little girl who is nothing now?"

After saying that, he pushed the man away and ran out of the door, then turned back and locked the man in the room.
