Chapter 733 I and He Are Innocent
Upon hearing this, Madam Wang's embarrassment immediately disappeared, and she said with a smile, "Come in, Sister Yi, I'll take you to find him."
Mrs. Wang didn't ask why Shen Shuyi came so late.
She had asked Huiyan about this before, and Shen Shuyi only said that she would try, but after so long, there has been no movement. She thought that she probably didn't have any good solution, or didn't want to get involved in this mess.
Unexpectedly, there has been a turn for the better.
When Shen Shuyi followed Madam Wang and Yao Huiyan to Wenfeng Pavilion, he saw Wang Xiao sitting at the stone table in the yard with a wine jug in his hand.
But compared to his previous angry howls, Wang Xiao is now exceptionally calm, as if he feels that there is no fun in life anymore.
Hearing the footsteps, Wang Xiao didn't react at all, but just drank the wine sip by sip.
The moon was high in the night sky and the scenery in the courtyard was pleasant. If it weren't for Wang Xiao's extreme decadence and lifelessness, it would have been an elegant and beautiful scene.
Mrs. Wang sighed, her eyes complicated, showing both heartache and anger.
At this point, she no longer knows whether what she did was right or wrong.
"I don't know what sin my master and I committed to give birth to such a useless thing."
Shen Shuyi comforted him in a gentle voice: "Prince Wang is a man of great affection and kindness, rare in the world, and most precious."
Mrs. Wang smiled and patted Shen Shuyi's hand: "Thank you for comforting me."
"Please you and Sister Huiyan step aside. I want to talk to Young Master Wang for a few words and then take him out of the house." Shen Shuyi said straightforwardly.
Madam Wang was stunned for a moment, her eyes reddened, and she nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, Princess."
After the group left, Shen Shuyi walked up to Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao seemed not to have seen her and remained in the same attitude as before.
"Mr. Wang, do you want to meet Miss Hongxiu? I can take you to see her." Shen Shuyi went straight to the point.
This time, Wang Xiao paused with his hand holding the wine jug, then he smiled self-deprecatingly and poured the wine into his mouth.
"So what even if we meet? My mother won't agree to me marrying her." Wang Xiao finally spoke.
Shen Shuyi said: "But if Miss Hongxiu is interested, you can exchange a city with her and live out the rest of your life in peace. Why do you have to get Madam Wang's approval?"
Wang Xiao was stunned, sat up straight, turned to look at Shen Shuyi: "But... then my father and mother..."
Shen Shuyi said: "Mrs. Wang and Lord Wang love their son very much, so they naturally don't want you to marry a prostitute, but if it means ruining your life, I think they don't want to do that either."
"But Lord Wang is the prince's teacher and is highly respected. Your behavior has made him a laughing stock. If you really want to achieve a happy ending with Miss Hongxiu, you can just go far away." Shen Shuyi said seriously.
Because of Wang Xiao's matter, Master Wang has resigned several times.
He really felt ashamed. After all, he couldn't even educate his own son well, so what qualifications did he have to teach the prince?
"But my parents gave birth to me and raised me. How can I betray them for my own happiness? I still need to take care of them in their old age..."
Shen Shuyi said again: "Since ancient times, it has been difficult to have both. Even if you leave your hometown, Prince Wang can come back in a few years."
Wang Xiao remained silent for a long time, but it was obvious that he was moved.
"However, these are just Mr. Wang's wishful thinking. It also depends on whether Miss Hongxiu is willing." Shen Shuyi directly poured a basin of cold water on him.
Wang Xiao came back to his senses: "She is willing. She once said that as long as she can be with me, she would be willing to travel around the world! But she doesn't want to hinder my future, so she is so determined..."
Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "Future prospects? Master Wang, do you think that with my talent, I can get first place in the next competition?"
Wang Xiao paused, and for a moment, felt a little embarrassed.
He never worked hard in his studies. Although he had some talent, he knew that he was not a brilliant person.
Now it has been delayed for a long time, how can I get the first place?
"Let's go, I'll take you to see her and see if Miss Hongxiu is willing." Shen Shuyi stood up, turned around and walked out.
Wang Xiao looked at her back, struggled for a moment, but finally couldn't help but follow her.

first floor.
The First Floor is a well-known restaurant in Beijing. It is loved by scholars and men of letters because of the excellent view of the moat from the balcony.
Shen Shuyi brought Wang Xiao to the second floor of the first floor. Wang Xiao was puzzled: "Why did you bring me here? Hongxiu is here?"
Shen Shuyi didn't answer. Wang Xiao followed her gaze and saw Hongxiu and a man standing side by side. They were standing by the railing, looking at the cruise ship in the river in the distance.
"What do you think? Are you going to come with me or not?" The man was dressed in brocade and holding a scented fan. He was handsome and his speech was somewhat ostentatious.
Hongxiu hesitated for a moment: "Mr. Chen, it's not that I don't want to, it's really that my mother doesn't want to let him go..."
The man he called Master Chen sneered, "Okay, stop using your mother as an excuse to fool me."
"I've inquired before, and she would be willing to release the person for three thousand taels. What's more, if she is unwilling, I can ask my uncle to make the decision and directly close down the Tianxiang Tower!" The man said defiantly.
Hongxiu was a little embarrassed. This man's surname was Chen and his name was Han. It was said that his biological mother was the sister of the current Concubine Jing, and she was extremely prominent.
And his uncle is now an important official in the court and a trusted general under the command of the Eighth Prince.
As for Chen Han's father, he was from a prominent family with profound heritage, complicated connections, and prosperity for generations.
This is exactly the kind of person she wants to marry.
In addition, Chen Han is now an official. If his father and uncle take care of him in the future, he will surely rise to a high position and have a bright future.
However, his temper was difficult to judge, and he could not allow her to be his principal wife, so she could only be his junior wife at best. Therefore, Hongxiu was a little hesitant.
"You don't want to be given face? If you don't want to, forget it!" Chen Han sneered and waved his sleeves to leave.
Seeing this, Hongxiu hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve: "Mr. Chen, don't be upset. It's Hongxiu's fault. I really have too many concerns."
Wang Xiao looked at this scene and couldn't help but feel dazed.
When had he ever seen her lower herself like this to coax a man?
Hongxiu has always been proud. She is a rare talented woman, and only her talent can catch his eye.
As for this Chen Han... he had only met him a few times, but he knew that he was a playboy. How could he be worthy of her doing this?
"Could it be that you are still thinking about that Wang Xiao?" Chen Han narrowed his eyes, looked at Hongxiu, and changed the subject.
Hong Xiu was stunned and said, "How could it be? He and I have nothing to do with each other, this is not true."
Chen Han sneered, "Innocent? Everyone knows that Wang Xiao is your lover. You and he have been reciting poems and chatting happily! He even gets drunk outside Tianxiang Tower every night for you!"
Hong Xiu said quickly, "Mr. Chen, you don't know that it was Wang Xiao who pestered me in every way. I had to pretend to be nice to him because his father was the imperial tutor. As for reciting poems and writing couplets, with his level, there was no way I would admire him."
