After breaking off the marriage, the Zhuangyuan Lang who was picked up was dressed weakly every day

Chapter 188 A Transaction

Shen Yanhan was shocked and stopped immediately.

She just met Yang Dong at the gate. Yang Dong looked indifferent to her. When she asked, "Who's there?", he didn't even reply a word. He only gave her a cold look and gave her a way.

She was still wondering to herself what the people around Qin Yuehuai meant by their attitude towards her, whether they thought she came uninvited, but then she heard Meng Changqing's voice again.

She came at night, so she didn't expect to meet anyone else in Qin Yuehuai.

Her relationship with him was so unclear, how could she face his friends?
Shen Yanhan hesitated, hesitating between turning around and leaving, or stepping forward as if nothing had happened.

This look fell in the eyes of Qin Yuehuai, who had done something wrong, and he suddenly felt uneasy: Did she hear Meng Changqing's question?

This year's winter is cold, but it is early winter, and the sky has turned from rain to snow. Seeing Shen Yanhan motionless, Qin Yuehuai picked up the umbrella on the side and took the initiative to greet him.

Meng Changqing saw his hurried steps and his back showing a guilty conscience. He laughed out loud behind him:

"Qin Qi, the road is slippery. If you walk so fast, be careful that you fall into pieces in front of the little lady."

Qin Yuehuai turned a deaf ear to the teasing of the people behind him. He strode to Shen Yanhan and looked at her with burning eyes.

"You came."

His voice was soft, his eyes were filled with joy, and his body was close to hers. Then he put the umbrella over her head, and his wide sleeves slid over her shoulders, scraping the skin on her neck, causing her skin to tremble. .When he raised his hands behind her, it felt like he was gently holding her in his arms.

Shen Yanhan was startled for a moment and realized that the distance between the two was too close. When she wanted to step back, she heard him say again: "Are you freezing?"

He asked seriously, not politely, with meticulous concern in his eyes. He followed his words and saw that she was holding a bundle in her hand, so she reached out and took it naturally.

Shen Yanhan thought of last winter.

They were in Nanping Mountain, and she would often look back at Qiuyuan from outside shivering with cold. His first reaction when he saw her was the same. He would take the items from her without hesitation, then grab her hand and put it on his Blow heat on your lips.

Shen Yanhan thought that if he didn't have an umbrella in his hand today, he would still treat her like that.

Thinking of this, Shen Yanhan stared at his lips.

This man's lips are very shaped.

and also……

She had had skin-to-skin contact, and she still remembered its touch, even its technique.

In fact, he has always taken care of her and treated her tenderly. She is not heartless and can naturally feel it.Therefore, even if she knew that his identity was not true, she would occasionally wonder in her heart: Could his actions of cherishing and loving her be completely false?
He once asked her: "How do I feel about you? You feel it, don't you?"

He once said: "Even though my name is fake, my feelings for you can be judged by heaven and earth."

She had been evading the answer and believing his words. However, perhaps the cold wind blew her mind clear at that moment. Seeing him looking at her tenderly again and completely protecting her under the umbrella, Shen Yanhan thought for a moment, he……

Her floating thoughts were suddenly interrupted.

Qin Yuehuai noticed her gaze, saw her staring at him without saying a word for a long time, and asked her, "What's wrong?"

Shen Yanhan came to her senses and asked Qin Yuehuai, "Is it inconvenient for you right now? If it's inconvenient, I'll change it someday -"

"Convenient." Qin Yuehuai interrupted her, fearing that she would turn around and leave.

He was already very close to her, but because of these excited words, the hot breath in his mouth rushed towards her face, making Shen Yanhan's face itch slightly.

This feeling is extremely familiar and ambiguous.

She suspected that this person did it on purpose!
Shen Yanhan looked at him with resentment: "Why are you so loud all of a sudden? You scared people half to death!"

How could he be so loud?
Qin Yuehuai laughed and gently pushed Shen Yanhan's back with the fist holding the umbrella handle: "If you have anything to say, just go inside and say it. It's too cold outside."

The snow was falling harder and harder, and the wind was getting more and more biting. Shen Yanhan had something serious to do, so he didn't want to stand outside and drink in the cold wind, so he nodded and took a step forward.

The two of them walked under the eaves. Shen Yanhan immediately took a step to the side to avoid suspicion, walked out from under the umbrella, and immediately distanced himself from Qin Yuehuai.

Qin Yuehuai glanced at her, lowered his eyes and closed the umbrella.

Meng Changqing's eyes rolled wildly, back and forth between the two of them. After a moment, he smiled warmly and said in a somewhat excited voice: "The third brother and sister are here!"

Qin Yuehuai paused in his movement to close his umbrella, and then swung his sword towards Meng Changqing.

Meng Si may have bad intentions for saying this for the second time.

Meng Changqing naturally has bad intentions.

He didn't look at Qin Yuehuai at all, and was not affected by his fierce eyes. He only stared at Shen Yanhan.

Shen Yanhan was a little embarrassed to be greeted by him twice and stared at from such a close distance. After all, it was already this hour and she was still alone in Lang Jun's house.But now that she had come this far, she couldn't help but give up.

As if nothing had happened, she saluted Meng Changqing and said, "Meng Silang is here too."

Meng Changqing immediately heard something strange - she didn't call him "Brother Meng".

He was just testing her when he called her younger brother and sister, but now he really got the answer. When Meng Changqing looked at Qin Yuehuai again, his eyes were so meaningful that he almost wrote "Sure enough" on his forehead.

He was right. Qin Yuehuai and his "wife" had broken up now that he had changed their identities.

He, Qin Qi, has no weakness in the past. They have known each other for many years, and he has never bowed his head to ask for help. So today, he asked Yang Dong for a drink in a low voice. The purpose was obvious...

Used to please the person in front of you.

Recalling the conversation between Qin Yuehuai and Yang Dong, Meng Changqing rubbed the tip of his nose with a folding fan. He was ready to watch a good show and deliberately replied to Shen Yanhan: "Well, I came to him to ask for some wine."

He spoke to Shen Yanhan, but his eyes looked at Qin Yuehuai, and he managed to see the handsome Qin Qilang, who was carrying Shen Yanhan on his back, and his face was immediately covered with frost.

Qin Yuehuai's face turned dark.

Seeing that Meng Changqing was gloating about his misfortune and even covering his mouth with a folding fan while laughing at him, he turned away his eyes and simply turned his eyes away. He hurried away and said, "I'm sorry I can't receive you. You go back first."

This is undoubtedly aggravating.

Meng Changqing couldn't hold back the smile in her eyes and hit his chest several times with a folding fan, "No, I just came here and I have something to tell you."

What he wanted to talk about was nothing more than the outcome in the court. He had already known about this in the Hanlin Academy today. If he stayed, he might even deliberately punish him and let him reveal his secrets in front of Shen Yanhan. Qin Yuehuai opened his folding fan, He walked up to Shen Yanhan and said ruthlessly to the person behind him: "I'm not free."

Meng Changqing's face stiffened.

Shen Yanhan stared blankly at the back and forth between the two of them. She didn't want to get involved, but when she thought about it, she was the one who came later. Now that Qin Yuehuai was in the official position, Meng Changqing might have something serious to talk about, so she grabbed him Qin Yuehuai's sleeves, as he hurried into the house, said: "You go and talk about business first, I can wait."

Qin Yuehuai was startled.

He looked up at Shen Yanhan's beautiful face, with serious eyes, like a well-informed and knowledgeable lady who never disturbed her husband's official business.

Apart from his worries, he couldn't help but remember that Shen Yanhan was like this in Qingshui Village before. She urged him to focus on his studies every day, never disturbed him in the study for no reason, and was very clear about priorities.

In fact, he had already known very well that a young lady like Shen Yanhan had treated him with sincerity from the beginning, and her requirements for his "husband" did not necessarily mean that he should come out on top or win the prize. The number one scholar, as long as he can study hard and become an official, he will meet her expectations.

She asked for very little in return compared to what she gave.

And even so, he didn't really satisfy her.And because of that chase, he still left an ugly image in her mind of a heartless man.

Thinking of this, Qin Yuehuai felt blank in his heart, as if he was missing something.

The desire to get back on track with Shen Yanhan became stronger and stronger.

Meng Changqing was very good at playing by the opportunity and knew who Qin Yuehuai's heart was focused on. As soon as Shen Yanhan finished speaking, he immediately said: "It's okay for the three younger brothers and sisters to come together and listen."

He emphasized the words "third brother and sister", and he didn't know whether he was laughing at him or trying to help him.

Qin Yuehuai turned his head with the purpose of exploring the answer.

He is still a little naive.

Meng Changqing finally had the opportunity to attack him, so how could he give up so easily?

He passed by Qin Yuehuai, and while pushing Shen Yanhan into the house with a folding fan, he said, "Remember to bring me some wine."

Qin Yuehuai breathed a sigh of relief secretly, grinding his molars behind the two of them, wishing he could kick him in the butt.

Meng Si, this guy, it’s almost endless!

*
After a while, the three of them sat around the tea table.

Qin Yuehuai ignored Meng Changqing's deliberate glances and ordered tea as usual.

From the corner of his eye, he could see Shen Yanhan staring at his face and fingers, and his tea-ordering movements couldn't help but become more graceful.

Seeing Qin Yuehuai's flattering face, he thought about keeping a line in his behavior. After all, Qin Yuehuai's nature was not easy to offend, and Meng Changqing did not go to any extent to stimulate people.

He directly talked about Zhao Yuankang's appointment as the prefect, and then sighed: "It's only been a month since I joined Lin'an Prefecture out of ten thousand yuan. Oh, I found a backer so quickly. I'm not afraid that the backer is not reliable."

Qin Yuehuai raised her eyes to look at him and asked him, "How do you know it's not reliable?"

Meng Changqing propped up one leg and banged the folding fan in his hand. He said with a casual attitude: "After so many years, the superiors have not explicitly asked Zhao Yuankang to come to the government office. I don't know Jinzhi's condition yet." ? If he’s not guarding them, what else could he be?”

Jinzhi is the name of Zhao Yuanyong, who was on good terms with Meng Changqing.

Qin Yuehuai asked again: "How do you know that his backer is Zhao Yuankang?"

Meng Changqing paused in tapping his fan and heard the implication behind his words.

Shen Yanhan listened to the topic they were talking about involving the Lin'an government office. Wen Rong was listening with her ears closed because Wen Rong was closed in the government office. Now, as soon as Qin Yuehuai asked the question, she blurted out almost immediately. Asked: "If it's not him, who is that?" Qin Yuehuai looked at her sideways, her autumn eyes looked at him expectantly, her lips were slightly open, like a little bird waiting for food, she looked at him with burning eyes. see.

Shen Yanhan didn't know that Qin Yuehuai's mind was already turbulent at this moment. Seeing that he paused and didn't speak, she immediately urged him: "What's the point? You are talking."

Meng Changqing was as curious as she was and was waiting for Qin Yuehuai's answer, but he was also made to laugh by Shen Yanhan's aggressive attitude that couldn't wait for a moment.

Qin Yuehuai's nine-turn ileum and hornet's nest mentality need Madam Shen to treat her with such straightforwardness.

When Meng Changqing smiled, Shen Yanhan realized that he was too engrossed in what he was saying, and unknowingly forgot about it. He complained about Qin Yuehuai in front of his friends as if she were his wife, and his face felt hot and uncomfortable. The ground turned away his eyes.

Seeing that she was beginning to feel embarrassed and unhappy, Qin Yuehuai quickly put the tea into her hand in a flattering manner and immediately gave the answer: "It's Qin Hui."

Shen Yanhan suddenly raised his eyes and said in surprise: "It's him again?"

Qin Yuehuai nodded, "Since his family became the sole leader, there are many people who follow his lead."

Meng Changqing was confused: "How did you know it was him?"

Qin Yuehuai told the truth: "Wan Yuanzhong came to Lin'an Mansion because of Li Yinian's recommendation. On the second day after arriving in Lin'an Mansion, he followed Li Yinian to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pay a visit." Li Yinian was Qin Xi's father-in-law and Qin Hui's in-laws.

Meng Changqing clicked his tongue and couldn't help but admire Qin Yuehuai's casting of such a wide net: "Your people there reported to you in such detail? Didn't you even miss the whereabouts of a little censor?"

Qin Yuehuai was very calm: "It's better not to miss anything. Who knows when this information will be useful. Wouldn't it be useful today?"

Meng Changqing nodded: "That's true. Only someone like you, who has a photographic memory of everything, can remember all the information."

These words were spoken from the bottom of his heart, and they also spoke of Qin Yuehuai's advantages, but when placed here with Shen Yanhan, the effect was completely different.

He had a photographic memory of every detail, but he acted stupidly in front of her, acting as if he didn't know the dangers of the world, and he acted as if he was weak and ready to be exploited.

Shen Yanhan gradually lost his mood.

She put the tea cup back on the tea table and did not drink his tea.

Seeing her action, Qin Yuehuai tightened his fingers and asked her warmly: "Would you like a different tea? Do you want to add some flowers to it?"

Shen Yanhan shook his head and said softly: "No need."

When Qin Yuehuai saw her like this, the strong feeling of being at a loss in front of her inevitably came back.

Fortunately, although Shen Yanhan's heart was heavy, he could not bear to continue listening here. Wen Rong was in the Lin'an government office. From what they said, Wan Yuanzhong was Qin Hui's man, but he recommended Zhao Yuankang as the post. The governor of Lin'an Prefecture.

She couldn't help but said: "Since the eldest prince and Prime Minister Qin are on the same side, wouldn't those who are detained in the government office with the Qin and Wang families be safe?"

She even began to think: "Will those people in Lijiazhai continue to be at large?"

"Also, since there are people in Lijiazhai who can directly enter and exit the Qin Prime Minister's Mansion, then... their existence by the Huaihe River has endured for a long time. Is it possible that they have the support of people behind them?"

Admittedly, her initial worries were only about the affairs of her Shen family, and she was worried that if Zhao Yuankang came to power, Wen Rong would see the light of day again, but such wisdom in seeing the big from the small is really surprising.

Meng Changqing couldn't help but praise: "The third brother and sister are really transparent, they can understand everything at once."

Qin Yuehuai looked at her approvingly and said, "Jiaojiao, you have a good idea."

Shen Yanhan was not so praised by the two that he couldn't find Bei, and he had no time to worry about their "third younger brother and sister" and "Jiao Jiao". Instead, he looked at Qin Yuehuai and said anxiously: "There can't be any way to let Zhao Tong judge Returning to the government office? When will his illness be cured? "

Zhao Si has a friendship with Shen Guci, and has always been a fair and impartial image in the hearts of the people of Lin'an Prefecture for many years. Compared with the eldest princes Li Shen and Wen Rong who may be partial to the Qin family, she naturally hopes to still Zhao Si came back to solve the case.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yanhan frowned heavily, feeling that he was a bit foolish and dreaming. The newly appointed eldest prince was the prince.

She didn't expect that the officialdom could be so dark nowadays, which would make a Shengdou citizen like her, who simply hoped that good and evil be rewarded, despair.

He saw all her worries. Qin Yuehuai reached out to hold her trembling hand and whispered: "Don't be anxious, there is always a way."

Shen Yanhan immediately asked: "What method?"

Qin Yuehuai choked and said truthfully: "This matter cannot be explained in one or two sentences. We need to consider it in the long term."

He held her hand tightly and promised her: "Brother Meng and I will never let criminals go unpunished. You believe me."

In fact, from Shen Yanhan's point of view, she deserved it for wanting Wen Rong, and Qin Yuehuai deserved it because his mother wanted Li Shen and others. It happened that Wen Rong and Li Shen were from the same family, which gave them a common goal.Shen Yanhan didn't directly say that he was just helping her by the way. After all, objectively speaking, his behavior was beneficial to her, and there was no benefit in offending him.

She nodded and wanted to take her hand out of Qin Yuehuai's hand, but Qin Yuehuai squeezed her fingers and refused to let go.

Meng Changqing saw that Qin Yuehuai wanted to use this as an excuse to please the young lady. He also saw that the young lady was avoiding suspicion and was not fooled by him at all. She couldn't help but want to laugh at that person.

However, he just raised his lips a little when he heard Qin Yuehuai say: "The reason why the mother-in-law's rumors spread in Qingshui Village was because the Meng family was responsible for it, and the reason why the Meng family took the initiative to do that kind of scandal Everything is done under the instructions of others."

Meng Changqing took a sharp breath.

What should come, finally came.

Shen Yanhan pulled his hand away from Qin Yuehuai's hand and asked him, "Who?"

She guessed that Aunt Meng was involved in Qi Yun's matter, but she only thought that Aunt Meng was instigated by Wen Rong. However, Qin Yuehuai's words showed that it was not just Wen Rong.Knowing that Wen Rong had contacts with several high-ranking families, she had an answer in her mind, but it was just a guess. She was facing Meng Silang at the moment, and she wanted to hear a definite answer.

Qin Yuehuai did not disappoint her. He spoke concisely and to the point: "Mother Wei from the Duke of Qi's residence."

Hearing this, Shen Yanhan immediately looked at the man in the Duke of Qi's mansion.

It was a family member who did it, so he couldn't deny it. Meng Changqing nodded and admitted, "It was someone close to my mother."

Shen Yanhan's eyes suddenly became wary, and she subconsciously leaned toward Qin Yuehuai, then asked, "Why did she harm my mother?"

She didn't say who "she" was, but she probably meant Meng Changqing's mother. Qin Yuehuai tightened her fingers in his hand to get rid of the suspicion for the Meng family: "The Meng family didn't know, and according to Mrs. Meng's temperament, generally She said it was her eldest sister Wang Qiong’s idea.”

Shen Yanhan's heart trembled, she did not expect that the dignified Mrs. Xiangguo would "condescend" to harm Qi Yun. She said seriously: "My mother has no friendship with her at all, let alone a relationship. Even if Wen Rong cooperates with her , then what can she get from my mother and Wen Rong?"

She is really smart, and she can see at a glance that both parties must gain something from the exchange.Qin Yuehuai looked at her quietly and only prompted a few words: "Political reasons."

When Shen Yanhan thought about Qi Yun's relevant personnel, he guessed: "The actual purpose is... General Liu?"

Qin Yuehuai nodded.

At this point, Shen Yanhan finally understood why Qi Yun died so young and why his younger brother died so young.

Her face was pale.

This is not only a fight for favor within the family, but also a political conspiracy.

It is not only a political conspiracy, but also the contempt and crushing of ordinary lives by those in power.To them, people like her mother Qi Yun are just ants. As long as it is politically necessary, they can just end it.

If Wen Rong was the murderer, she could sue and ask the government to pay for her life with clear goals, but what if the murderer was a powerful person from a high family like Wang Zhang and Wang Qiong?Who is she going to sue?

She had heard clearly just now that Zhao Yuankang was able to take power in the government office because he relied on the recommendation of relevant personnel in Prime Minister Qin's government. Under such circumstances, even the governor was from their faction, so how could she appeal? who?
Shen Yanhan felt painful, confused, and desperate.

Qin Yuehuai saw her reaction in his eyes and did not continue to speak. He just slowly slipped his fingers into hers and gradually interlocked with hers.

Shen Yanhan looked sideways.

The candlelight illuminated his gentle brows as he looked at her. His eyes were calm, and there was an undercurrent of power contained in them, as if he could easily turn things around if he wished.

Shen Yanhan could see clearly that this gentleman had the talent to win the first prize in the exam, so how could he be a thing in the pool?

*
That night, Meng Changqing didn't drink Qin Yuehuai's wine after all.

In the long silence between the man and woman in front of him, he slowly stood up and left Qin Yuehuai's residence with complicated emotions.

*
It was windy and snowy outside. Shen Yanhan looked at Qin Yuehuai in silence beside the tea table for a long time. Thousands of thoughts passed through her mind before she asked him: "You said this because you wanted to tell me that you would help me." Do I take revenge?"

Qin Yuehuai was speechless and acquiesced to her words.

Shen Yanhan asked again: "Then what do you want from me?"

Qin Yuehuai saw that she was like a hedgehog with thorns on her body. Although her fingers did not withdraw from his hand, her eyes became wary of him and her face became serious. His Adam's apple slid down and he felt depressed in his heart, " What do you think I want?"

Shen Yanhan watched him remain silent for a few seconds, then lit herself with one hand and answered him: "My person?"

Qin Yuehuai raised his lower lip: "So that's what you think."

Shen Yanhan stared at him: "What else?"

Qin Yuehuai also asked her: "Then if I am, will you be willing?"

Shen Yanhan was surprised for a moment. She was just provoking him. She didn't expect him to ask such a question. In an instant, she regained her composure. With a look of bravery in her eyes that she would risk everything, she nodded towards him.

This is like saying: In order to achieve her goal, she is willing to engage in a power and sex deal with him.

She succeeded in getting Qin Yuehuai's handsome face to step down.

Shen Yanhan withdrew her hand from his. His palm was originally warm, but when her hand left, there was a sense of loss of warmth. Shen Yanhan pursed her lower lip and quickly put her hand back into the armhole.

Qin Yuehuai looked at her.

Just when Shen Yanhan thought he was finally going to give up, he stood up, leaned over, leaned close to her face, and said quietly: "Deal."

Shen Yanhan only had time to hear the words clearly, but the next moment, someone took away his breath.

　Jiao Jiao: I provoked the general, but he didn’t fall for it. I’m so angry!

　　Gou Huai: It’s great that my wife took the initiative to throw herself into my arms!
