Chapter 543 It’s all up to Miss Shen’s arrangement
Shen Ruzhou and Bei Xiuyan came to the place. A lot of people had gathered here. Before they could step forward to take a closer look, a group of guards came out, closed the door, and drove away those who were looking at the excitement.
Looking at the formation, Shen Ruzhou knew that the excitement was too much to watch.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw a familiar figure not far away riding towards him on horseback.
elder brother? !
Shen Chumu arrived at the door of the store and was respectfully invited in. Then the people inside quickly closed the door tightly to prevent outsiders from prying at all.
A quarter of an hour later, the door opened again, and Shen Chumu walked out with a dark face. Behind him, Shen Rumeng covered her face with a handkerchief, crying hard.
The maid helped Shen Rumeng get on the carriage. Shen Chumu also got on the horse and whispered, "Go back home."
Shen Ruzhou hid on the street corner and saw this scene clearly, full of doubts.
Why is my brother here?
Beixiu Yan knew from her expression that she must find out what was going on, so he took Shen Ruzhou to find Duke Anguo's mansion.
The two of them arrived at a corner gate, and Beixiu Yan said, "Go in and turn left to find the guest courtyard of Duke Anguo's mansion. Your brother should live there."
Shen Ruzhou nodded and then realized, "Won't the prince come with you?"
Bei Xiuyan said: "I'll wait for you outside."
Seeing Bei Xiuyan looking down at the rags on his body intentionally or unintentionally when he spoke, Shen Ruzhou's eyes flashed, and he quickly understood what he hadn't said clearly: Bei Xiuyan didn't want others to see him in such a mess.
Shen Ruzhou didn't force anything, and responded calmly: "Then I'll go and come back. Your Majesty will be waiting for you."
She turned around and entered the side door. Following the direction Bei Xiuyan said, she quickly reached the outside of Shen Chumu's room.
Hearing someone knocking on the door, Shen Chumu opened it impatiently, "It's so late, can you calm down for a while..."
The complaints stopped abruptly after seeing the face of the visitor. Shen Chumu pulled Shen Ruzhou into the room and said in surprise: "Why are you here?"
Shen Ruzhou did not answer directly. Instead, he laughed and teased, "Brother thought someone was here just now, so he was so impatient."
"I thought it was Shen Rumeng." Shen Chumu said, sighing three times in a sentence, with a sad face, "I have been crying and making trouble all day long, and my head is about to split."
"Why should brother care if she makes trouble with her?" Shen Ruzhou naturally knew Shen Rumeng's annoying temperament and was used to making tricks such as crying, making trouble and hanging herself.
Shen Chumu let out a sigh of relief, "The road to Hongcheng is far away, and Shen Rumeng has no brothers, so my father asked me to come and get married. I originally thought that I would leave when she and An Yitang are married. Unexpectedly, on the night of the wedding, she was killed because An Yitang wanted to marry her. There was quite a fuss about sleeping at my concubine's place, which lasted for several days, so I had no choice but to stay a little longer."
"She deserves it." Shen Ruzhou scolded her mercilessly, "I have long told her that An Yitang is a lustful woman. She is greedy for power and wealth and insists on getting married. She is asking for it when she is treated so coldly."
"That's all, she probably won't make trouble in the future." Although he didn't like Shen Rumeng's character, she was a cousin after all. Shen Chumu didn't want to speak too harshly, and only said, "Anyitang said today that if there is any trouble again, Divorce your wife and she should be at peace."
After talking about Shen Rumeng, Shen Chumu changed the topic and asked Shen Ruzhou again, "Why did you come to Hongcheng?"
Shen Ruzhou didn't want his brother to worry, so he kept the matter in Yongzhou a secret, and made an excuse at random: "I came here for fun, but unfortunately, I lost my money on the way. Fortunately, I met my brother."
At this point, she smiled slyly, stretched out her hand and said, "Brother, lend me some silver for emergencies."
Shen Chumu raised his palm to slap it down, but Shen Ruzhou quickly took his hand back.
"No, I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow. You can come with me."
Shen Ruzhou's face showed dissatisfaction, and he curled his lips and said, "I still have something to do, so I won't go back to Beijing for the time being."
"What's the matter?" Shen Chumu's face darkened, feeling that Shen Ruzhou was getting bolder and bolder. Even if he was practicing medicine outside, why did he come to such a far place alone?
"I can't tell you." Shen Ruzhou put away the joking look on his face and said seriously, "Brother, I really have something very important. I will naturally return to Beijing when it is done."
When Shen Chumu saw this, he had a vague suspicion in his heart, "Did you come with the regent?"
Shen Ruzhou said nothing.
Shen Chumu shrugged helplessly and explained angrily: "These days, you always go to the Regent's Palace, and you talk about him with a look of admiration. Do you think I am blind?"
Being caught off guard by Shen Chumu, Shen Ruzhou blushed and said with an embarrassed smile, "It turns out that my brother already knew."
"Forget it, since you came with the regent, I won't ask any more questions." Shen Chumu said, turned around and took out a one hundred tael silver note from the box behind him and handed it to Shen Ruzhou, "Collect it carefully. Okay, don’t lose it again.”
"I know my brother loves me." Shen Ruzhou took it with a smile, put it in his arms and left.
After all, Shen Chumu was still worried, so he pulled her and told her again, "When you go out, take care of yourself."
"Got it." Shen Ruzhou agreed and walked out quickly, not wanting Shen Chumu to see the moisture in her eyes.
She didn't shed tears when she knew she was going to be beheaded, but when faced with the concerns of her relatives, she couldn't help but feel sore eyes.
Walking to the corner gate, Bei Xiuyan was standing on the street corner with his hands behind his back. His lonely figure looked a bit cold and lonely under the stars in the sky.
Shen Ruzhou knew that he was troubled by his master's affairs, so he walked gently to his side, reached out and held his hanging hand, interlocking their fingers, and was speechless but enough to comfort him.
Bei Xiuyan looked down at her, his eyes full of endearment.
Shen Ruyi smiled brightly, held his hand and said, "Let's go, I'll treat the prince to a delicious meal. After I'm full, I'll go to the upper room and have a good night's sleep."
Her words were naughty and the smile on her face was bright and open, dispelling the depression in Bei Xiuyan's heart.
Seeing Shen Ruzhou proudly unfolding the banknotes in his hand, he smiled fondly and said, "Then it's all up to Miss Shen's arrangement."
When it was time to get ready, the two found a good restaurant, had some food, and then found a secluded courtyard where they decided to rest for a few days.
Although it has fallen into the night, Yongzhou City is still in chaos at this time.
Mu Wanqing stood on the high tower, thinking about the scene in the daytime, and her mind couldn't calm down for a long time.
The plan that I thought was perfect actually allowed Shen Ruzhou and Bei Xiuyan to escape, and now they have to work hard to find them again.
She clutched the handkerchief in her hand and thought about it. Yongzhou has a well-developed water system and its waterways are both hidden and convenient. Most of them took the waterway.
Xiao Chenyan has already chased in the direction of the capital, so she can go down the river to Hongcheng to try her luck.
