Chapter 165
Is it
A thought flashed through Xie Shen's mind, and he shivered immediately.

There is another possibility, that is, eunuch Liu really wanted to redeem Lady Shen, but after he redeemed Lady Shen, he did not raise her in the guardian eunuch's mansion but donated it to Xue Ju, the right chief envoy!
At first glance, this idea seems a little out of the ordinary, but considering Mrs. Shen's experience and Xue Buzheng's character, I don't think there is anything surprising about it.

The reason why Xue Ju dared to rob Jiaofangsi's official prostitutes into the mansion when he was in Nanjing was because he was the right servant of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites at that time.It is not a problem to plunder a few official prostitutes to the mansion with the position of the right servant of the Ministry of Rites.Afterwards, it can be said that those official prostitutes died of illness.Nanjing is also far away from the emperor, so Xue Ju doesn't have to worry about being accused.

And if Xue Ju dared to do this, the background must be very strong, so he can do whatever he wants without fear.

But the situation was completely different after he took office as Chief Political Envoy of Zhejiang Province.As soon as there was a governor pressing down on him, Xue Ju didn't dare to be too presumptuous.Secondly, he does not have the right to directly call official prostitutes.

With Xue Ju's temperament, if he can't come hard, he will come soft.But he is a majestic official of the imperial court, so it is impossible to directly redeem the singing girl.In this way, countless memorials that participated in Xue Ju must be delivered to the emperor of the capital.

Xue Ju is not very popular, and he does not have strong control in Zhejiang Province, so he will not take risks.

But if the guarding eunuch is allowed to redeem Lady Shen, the attention of the public will be much lower.And even if the eunuchs occasionally behaved unethically, the civil servants would not criticize them verbally and attack them in groups.

There are two reasons. First, the civil service system and the eunuch system do not intersect.There is no need for civil servants in Zhejiang Province to cross the line for a singing girl.Secondly, eunuch Liu has a special status, he is a majestic eunuch guarding Hangzhou.This position was originally set up by the emperor to monitor local officials, unless those officials had lost their minds and would choose to offend Eunuch Liu for a trivial matter.

If eunuch Liu was annoyed and gave a small report to the emperor, and they all participated in the performance, it would be terrible.

After all, civil servants are foreign ministers. If the emperor is allowed to make a choice, the emperor will definitely be more willing to trust the guarding eunuchs rather than local officials.

This is unreasonable, who said that the eunuch is the emperor's domestic slave.

Eunuch Liu's redemption for Mrs. Shen caused a momentary sensation at most, and it would not cause any chain reaction after the sensation.

When the situation subsides, Eunuch Liu can give Mrs. Shen to Xue Ju.In name, it can be named as its maidservant.

Eunuch Liu was an eunuch after all, so Xue Ju didn't have to worry about being cuckolded if he asked Eunuch Liu to do this, it would just take a lot of trouble.

As for why eunuch Liu was willing to help Xue Ju, Xie Shen certainly didn't know, maybe the two had a good personal relationship when they were in the capital, or the two were backed by the same nobleman.

In comparison, Xie Shen is more inclined to the second option.

Of course, all this is just Xie Shen's inference.It's just that this inference comes from careful logical deduction, and there is a lot of evidence to support it.In this case, the possibility of extrapolation is very high.

Everyone has plans, Xie Shen does not believe that eunuch Liu redeemed Lady Shen just to raise a vase.He also didn't believe that with Xue Ju's temper, he would let go of the woman he liked.

Putting all these together is so reasonable, Xie Shen took a deep breath, and said sadly: "I'm afraid things are a bit troublesome. If Xie's guess is not wrong, this matter should be related to Xue Buzheng."

Shen Yan's face turned pale, and her voice trembled for a moment.

"President Xue? Mr. Xie is saying that the eunuch Liu Wen is not the one who really wants to redeem the slave's family?"

Xie Shen nodded and said: "This possibility is very high, so if Mrs. Shen doesn't want to marry Governor Xue, she must not let Eunuch Liu redeem you!"

Xie Shen heard from my mother the miserable situation of countless women, and he didn't want the lady Shen in front of him to suffer the same fate.

With Xue Ju's personality, he will not be devoted to Mrs. Shen, and when he gets tired of eating, he will throw it away, and Mrs. Shen will naturally fall into a miserable situation.

"But he is the eunuch in charge of Hangzhou, not to mention redeeming his body for the slave family, even if Shaoyaoju is demolished, no one will say anything. How can the slave family stop it?"

Shen Yan's eyes were full of despair.She thought that she could live such an ordinary life, but who would have thought that she would faintly face catastrophe.Xue Buzheng has seen her before, and a bad old man in his 50s is not good enough for her.

It would be fine if she married an eunuch and was a widow, but she was unwilling to marry such an old man and suffer humiliation!
But what if you don't want to?
Once Eunuch Liu redeems her, she will be Eunuch Liu's man.

At that time, what Eunuch Liu wants to do with her depends entirely on Eunuch Liu's mood, and no one has the right to interfere.

"Miss Shen, don't worry, let Xie think about it!"

Xie Shen rubbed his forehead, and began to think about how to deal with it.

Zhang Bugui at the side was naturally very anxious.It doesn't matter if he doesn't get Mrs. Shen, but he can't let Mrs. Shen be redeemed to be a concubine.

"Brother Shenxian, think about it carefully!"

Xie Shen walked for a few steps, and a happy expression suddenly appeared on his face!
"Have it!"

"As expected of brother Shenxian, he is really Zhuge!"

Xie Shen ignored Zhang Bugui's flattery of Mr. Zhang, and said to himself: "If Miss Shen wants to avoid being ransomed, she must fight with all her strength, and winning the crown will win the crown!"

Shen Yan was puzzled and said: "Why is this? Then if the envoy Xue Bu is really interested in the slave family, wouldn't the oiran win the first place make him even more envious?"

From a normal logical point of view, this is indeed the case.

However, this matter cannot be conjectured with common sense.

The Hangzhou government oiran meeting is very grand, and the selected oiran is even more in the limelight.

If only the top card in the brothel was redeemed, it would at most cause a sensation.But if the Hangzhou oiran was redeemed, or if he was redeemed just after becoming an oiran, the sensational effect caused would not dissipate easily.

Not only that, there must be countless pairs of eyes staring at Liu De, the guarding eunuch. Under this kind of pressure, it is impossible for Liu De to transfer Mrs. Shen to Xue Ju, the chief envoy, that would be to roast Xue Ju on the fire.

This is still good, if the scholars are really impatient, they may not be so excited that they will cause trouble in the guarding eunuch's house.

These scholars didn't know that Eunuch Liu redeemed Mrs. Shen in order to sell Xue Ju's favor, and they only thought that Eunuch Liu wanted to enjoy the oiran all to himself.

In the eyes of scholars, the oiran is elegant, something that can only be seen from a distance and not played with!

Eunuch Liu is just an eunuch, so he wants to have the oiran all to himself, it's wishful thinking!

The civil servants may pretend not to see it because of their official career, but the scholars will not!These half-civilian, half-official stunned youths will only push Eunuch Liu to the forefront!

On the contrary, if Mrs. Shen, the oiran, behaves normally, then she is just an ordinary brothel top card. Scholars will focus on the oiran, and whether she is redeemed by eunuch Liu will not attract too much attention.
