Chapter 126 Making a Game

"She saved me."

Bei Yao didn't look at Shen Yichuan. After slowly pouring himself a cup of tea, he continued, "I will not do anything ungrateful."

Hearing this, Shen Yichuan gently stroked the teacup for a long time before asking, "Then why do you want the Prime Minister's Mansion to notice Xu Yuan?"

"It won't do her any harm to get to know the Prime Minister. At least, Qi Chengen won't sit idly by when she has no one to protect her."

Bei Yao looked at the tea, the heat accumulated in the air and turned into a faint tea fragrance, "It's a pity that some people don't appreciate it."

Hearing this, Shen Yichuan said, "The Grand Tutor's Mansion is also fine."

"If you thought the Grand Tutor's Mansion was suitable, you would have directly introduced it yesterday, right? However, you didn't."

Bei Yao looked at Shen Yichuan and smiled slowly, "You hope that the Grand Tutor's Mansion can stay out of this, and so does this palace."

Beiyao didn't know whether Shen Yichuan knew Xu Yuan's true identity.

Descendants of the Xu family are a taboo in the capital.

He sent Xu Yuan to Qi Chengen not to give Xu Yuan an extra shelter.

Instead, he wanted to use Qi Chengen to reassure other people in the capital who had harmed the Xu family.

Let those people know that Xu Yuan is not a descendant of the Xu family, but just a young man from the mountains.

If his guess was correct, people from the Prime Minister's Mansion were already on their way to Shuozhou to confirm Xu Yuan's identity.

So, instead of waiting for Qi Chengen to investigate himself, it would be better for him to investigate for Qi Chengen.

Furthermore, giving the wish a perfect identity.

Moreover, if Xu Yuan fails to overturn the verdict, it will only implicate the Prime Minister's Mansion and will not implicate anyone else.

"but I……"

When the words came to his lips, Shen Yichuan fell silent again.

He picked up the teacup, drank the hot tea in it in one gulp, stood up and said, "I'll go and deal with Xu Yuan on the Song family's side, so I won't bother Third Master with anything."

"How do you deal with it?" Bei Yao asked.

"The Prime Minister's Mansion is now keeping an eye on the Song family, and the Third Master's marriage has been put on hold. I think the Song family will have to wait until after the New Year to make room. The entrance exam for Wenhua Palace will be held in ten days, and I want to help him once."

After Shen Yichuan finished speaking, he paused and turned back to say, "Third Master, it's better for you not to interfere in the matter of wishing. He is not an ordinary person. Even I don't know how many cards he has. However, there is no doubt that he dares to go to the capital alone, so he must have the ability to protect himself."

After Shen Yichuan finished speaking, he strode out.

Bei Yao looked at Shen Yichuan's back, was silent for a long time, and couldn't help laughing: "This is the first time I see you so serious. I don't know what's so good about making a wish that makes you protect it like this."

-

After the beginning of winter, the capital city became increasingly colder.

He made a wish, counted the days, and went to buy a new set of cotton clothes. As soon as he returned home, he saw Shen Yichuan waiting at the gate of the yard.

She was stunned for a moment, then walked over and said, "Mr. Shen, why are you here?"

After Xu Yuan finished speaking, he looked up and said, "I know that the Grand Tutor's Mansion is only one street away from here, but there is no need to come so frequently, right?"

"There are too many people here, let's go in and talk."

Shen Yichuan looked at Xu Yuan but did not say directly why he came.

Xu Yuan thought about it and finally decided not to refuse. He opened the door and let Shen Yichuan in.

In the yard, the grape vines were dead and tangled around the branches.

Seeing this, Shen Yichuan said, "I'll ask the servants to bring some charcoal tomorrow. This yard is a bit too cold."

"No need. Have you forgotten that I grew up in Sishui County? It's much colder there than in the capital. Besides, I just bought a new dress yesterday. It's not cold anymore."

Xu Yuan took the teapot to boil water, and then took some tea, while asking: "My tea here is very good, do you want some?"

Shen Yichuan nodded.

He sat across from the coffee table, watching Xu Yuan making tea flexibly, and asked, "Why didn't you come to the Grand Tutor's Mansion to find me after you saw the letter that day?"

"What do I want to do with you? Kill Wei Chenyi directly?"

Xu Yuan asked back calmly.

Shen Yichuan was somewhat curious about Xu Yuan's indifference. He asked, "Why don't you ask me who Wei Chenyi is?"

"I know about the Imperial Censor Wei Chenyi." Xu Yuan said in a somewhat cold tone.

She looked at the teacup quietly, her tone indifferent, "Besides, this answer does not surprise me. The Xu family is a century-old aristocratic family, and all its cases were directly handled by the late emperor. But how can the emperor investigate the case alone? He will definitely use other people. Therefore, the entire Dali Temple may become his accomplice. The first one to bear the brunt should be Wei Chenyi, who took the position of Imperial Censor after the Xu family was wiped out."

In my previous life, I didn’t think too much about making a wish.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can understand many things.

The only thing she can blame is that she was too ignorant in her previous life.

If you trust others too easily, you will be hurt again and again.

After hearing Xu Yuan's words, Shen Yichuan was silent for a long time.

After a long while, he said, "The Imperial Censor is one of the Three Dukes and is in charge of supervision. If you want to overturn the case, it will be even more difficult with him around. Are you sure you want to go on?"

When Xu Yuan rushed to the Buddha Temple, Shen Yichuan's guess had been confirmed.

Xu Yuan went to the capital to overturn the case for the Xu family.

But what he didn't expect was that even though he knew his enemy was so powerful, he still didn't give up.

What are your wishes nowadays?

Nothing at all?

Even if the Xu family was really wronged, more than 20 years have passed and many people and evidence are gone.

What's more, looking at the entire capital, who would dare to take this case?

The sentence of exile to the Xu family was issued by the late emperor.

Even if Xu Yuan wished to meet the emperor, it was impossible for the emperor to make a decision for Xu Yuan and judge and accuse the deceased emperor.

This is a dead end, there is no way out.

"why not?"

Xu Yuan looked at Shen Yichuan and slowly put down the teapot in his hand.

"The Xu family is a century-old prestigious family, the leader of the clean stream, and has protected Tianqi for a hundred years. They have countless reputations. If the Xu family wanted to rebel, why did they wait for a hundred years? Everyone in the Xu family is right, and I am right too. I am overturning the case for the Xu family, not to make the Xu family repeat its previous glory, but to let the world know that the descendants of the Xu family have lived an upright life and have never done anything treasonous. He should be remembered in history, rather than letting the historians leave the word "traitor" in the history books."

The words of making a wish are very peaceful.

She looked at Shen Yichuan, her tone still unhurried, "Even if there are thousands of people blocking the way ahead, I will not change my original intention."

"What if you lose?"

"If I lose, I lose. It's better than just giving up without doing anything at the beginning. But I won't lose. I definitely won't."

Thinking of the tragic situation in his previous life, Xu Yuan still couldn't help feeling sad.

She can't lose.

If she loses, everyone will suffer because of her.

So, she has to win.

Shen Yichuan was silent. He pulled out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Yuan, saying, "I have already told my father that I can recommend you to enter Wenhua Palace. Xu Yuan, if you really want to overturn the case, this may be the only shortcut."

Xu Yuan was slightly stunned.

She looked at the envelope on the table, and then looked at Shen Yichuan.

In past and present lives, Shen Yichuan has always been like this, helping her without reservation.

After a long while, Xu Yuan pushed the envelope back and said calmly: "No need, I have my own way. If you really want to help me, just help me set up a trap."
