Chapter 317 Do I Look Like a Fool?
Chapter 317 Do I Look Like a Fool?
When Shen Shuyi left Liancheng's house, Jiang Lian saw her off: "Don't worry, Miss. I will definitely make Mr. Liancheng agree to accept me as his apprentice."
Shen Shuyi smiled and said with certainty: "He will agree."
Glancing at Xiao Tingshan chasing after him, Shen Shuyi lowered his voice and said, "Song Tingshan is a man of great cunning and hypocritical. You should pay more attention to his movements and don't be fooled by him."
Jiang Lian nodded and said, "Even if the lady doesn't tell me, I still remember it."
Shen Shuyi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that he had met Jiang Lian at the Jade Buddha Temple when he was providing free porridge and medical treatment to the public. Jiang Lian had also knelt down in front of this handsome young man from a noble family in front of everyone that day...
Unfortunately, Xiao Tingshan, a young man who never really cared about the poor people, had no idea how much temptation a piece of silver could bring to those starving people.
Thinking of this, Shen Shuyi couldn't help but find it ridiculous.
I wonder how Xiao Tingshan would feel if he knew that the 'young man' who knelt before him and only wanted to beg him for two taels of silver was exactly the Lian Qiao that he had been looking for all over Daqian.
That’s right, Jianglian is Forsythia suspensa.
It wasn't that Shen Shuyi hadn't finished painting that picture, but it was only when he finished painting that he realized that the person was actually right next to him.
For Jiang Lian's safety, Shen Shuyi burned the painting again.
While she was thinking, Xiao Tingshan had already chased out: "Miss Shen, please stay."
Shen Shuyi turned to look at this persistent man and said with a smile: "Prince Song, do you have anything to say?"
Because he walked a few steps quickly, Xiao Tingshan started coughing heavily again.
Shen Shuyi waited patiently for him to finish coughing, and asked with concern: "Prince Song coughs so badly, could he have tuberculosis?"
Xiao Tingshan: "..."
"Although I don't know why Miss Shen is so hostile to me, but Miss Shen wants to ask Mr. Liancheng for help, I guess it's for the eldest son of the Shen family, Shen Shuhan."
Shen Shuyi raised his eyebrows: "So what?"
"Ms. Song and Miss Shen have the same request. I have been weak since childhood and I am afraid that I will not live long, so I want to ask Mr. Liancheng for treatment. In this case, I think Miss Shen should cooperate with me?"
Xiao Tingshan looked sincere and spoke seriously.
Shen Shuyi curled her lips and looked at the man in front of her with a bit of teasing.
I have to admit that with his haggard, pale, warm and sincere face, he is indeed a good lobbyist.
"How to cooperate?" Shen Shuyi asked.
Xiao Tingshan asked, "What did Miss Shen promise Mr. Liancheng? Even though he was tempted, he has not been able to fulfill his promise. Why don't I, Song, lend a helping hand to Miss Shen?"
"After the matter is settled, if Mr. Liancheng is willing to come out of seclusion, I would like to ask him to treat Mr. Shen first. If I am lucky, Mr. Liancheng may also be willing to show me kindness. If there is no such fate, I will have no regrets and will never force it."
Shen Shuyi smiled, and looked directly at Xiao Tingshan with her clear almond-shaped eyes, moving closer.
Xiao Tingshan still maintained a decent smile on his face. The woman suddenly approached him, and a clear and distant cold fragrance invaded his nostrils. The aftertaste was long, cold, but alluring.
"Prince Song, do I look like a fool?" Shen Shuyi asked with a smile.
Xiao Tingshan's throat was dry and the smile on his face paused. Obviously, Shen Shuyi's answer once again surprised him.
"Ms. Shen, this is a win-win deal. You have nothing to lose." Xiao Tingshan still did not give up.
Shen Shuyi took a step back and said coldly: "But Prince Song forgot that you don't have any bargaining chips to negotiate with me. If you want to get something for nothing, you have found the wrong person!"
After saying this, Shen Shuyi didn't give him another chance to speak and turned and left.
The smile on Xiao Tingshan's face faded, his eyes fell on Shen Shuyi's back, and there was a hint of gloom in his gentle eyes.
Wenren Zong held the sword in both hands, walked to his side, and his eyes met his.
Xiao Tingshan said softly: "How is the person I want?"
"We've found it, but the birthmark is a bit troublesome. After all, we have never seen what it looks like." Wenren Zong said in a deep voice.
Xiao Tingshan frowned and said in a clear voice: "Since you haven't seen it, then destroy it."
"But there are still many details that I am afraid may not match Liancheng's memories of that year..."
Xiao Tingshan said slowly: "I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get some information from Liancheng, but I didn't expect that he would refuse to see me."
So he thought that if he could become good friends with Shen Shuyi, he could at least learn some information about Liancheng's daughter's childhood from her, so that he would have fewer loopholes when arranging his men.
But unfortunately, this woman, Shen Shuyi, is cunning and domineering, and it is really difficult to get along with her!
Wen Renzong's face was stern, and he said in a deep voice: "The Shen family has been in constant turmoil recently, most of which started after the second young lady of the Shen family returned home. I'm afraid this second young lady of the Shen family is not that simple."
Xiao Tingshan remained silent, unwilling to admit that he had indeed made a mistake in his judgment.
But no matter what Shen Shuyi is planning, he is determined to get Liancheng!

Jiang Lian escorted Shen Shuyi out of the alley until they were in front of the carriage, then he whispered to Shen Shuyi, "Miss, I see that Prince Song is not only weak, but also looks like he has been poisoned."
Shen Shuyi turned to look at her, with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "Can you tell what kind of poison it is?"
Jiang Lian shook his head: "No, I haven't checked his pulse. I just took a rough look, and I'm not very skilled, so I'm afraid it's difficult to infer."
"It's okay. You are very talented in medicine. Liancheng's study has a lot of books. It would be good for you if you can learn more."
"Don't worry, miss."
After Shen Shuyi left, he sat in the carriage back home.
But she couldn't help but think of Jiang Lian's words in her mind. That's right, Xiao Tingshan was not only damaged in the womb, but there were three kinds of poisons mixed in his body.
One possibility is that his biological mother was murdered in the harem, the second possibility is that the former wife of Duke Chengguo fed him a poison after switching their two children, and the third possibility is that the wife of Duke Chengguo later gave him a chronic poison in order to seize his position as the crown prince.
The three poisons were mixed together, and even Liancheng had to spend a lot of effort to barely cure him.
But the so-called cure could only ensure that his life span would be the same as that of ordinary people, but it could not allow Xiao Tingshan to cultivate himself and practice martial arts and fight on the battlefield.
But Xiao Tingshan was a man who did not believe in evil. Even so, he never gave up.
After all, Emperor Qianwu attached great importance to military affairs, and there was unrest around Daqian, so the candidate for the crown prince must be able to intimidate the three armies. Therefore, Xiao Tingshan was completely passive on this point.
But it must be said that he is a man who is patient and able to endure hardships. After years of practicing day after day, he has actually developed some fancy skills.
Although it cannot be compared with the real masters, it is still good enough.
Unfortunately, no matter how much he planned, he still couldn't get the position in the end. Tsk, what a pity~
Thinking of this, Shen Shuyi couldn't help but feel that Xiao Tingshan was indeed a very pitiful little guy.
What a pity, you deserve it!
