Chapter 175 Can’t afford the gamble
After making a wish, she stepped on the stairs, neither going up nor down.
After a while, she finally spoke: "Wu Shiming, I treat you as a friend, so I don't tell you some things for your own good. If one day I get into trouble, just cut off your relationship with me, I won't blame you."
Wu Shiming looked at Xu Yuan quietly for a long time, then he said, "Xu Yuan, you helped me before, and you gave me money to help me open my shop. If you are in trouble in the future, how can I sit back and do nothing?"
From the first time he met this person, Wu Shiming knew that this person had great ambitions.
Over the years, he has seen countless people coming and going.
Especially in a place like the capital, even a powerful family could fall into decline in just a few years.
But the wishes are different.
His eyes were clear and determined.
Just like water, water benefits all things without competing, and nothing can compete with it.
"You can't help me." Xu Yuan smiled, "So, take a good look at how to open a shop. Maybe one day, I will really need your help. Who knows."
After making the wish, he went up the stairs and went back to the house to get the money.
Three thousand taels, she took out one thousand taels.
Wu Shiming was stunned when he saw so much silver. He asked hurriedly, "Xu Yuan, where did you get so much money?"
"Don't worry, I didn't steal or rob, I borrowed it." Xu Yuan handed the banknote to Wu Shiming, "If you win, we will split it evenly, if you lose, it's mine."
"How can we divide it equally?" Wu Shiming frowned, "It's all yours. We agreed that you just pay me. I don't want anything more."
"It's up to you. I don't have much use for the money anyway."
"Okay." Wu Shiming happily put the money away.
Xu Yuan remembered that Wu Shiming was still working in the gambling house, and reminded him: "Don't gamble with it, do something serious."
"Don't worry, it won't happen." Wu Shiming patted his chest and assured.
After that, he remembered something and said, "Oh, by the way, if we want to open a shop, we must have a store. I think the annual rent for a shop will be very high. Why don't I move in with you and use the yard to open a shop? How about that?"
"No problem. There are two bedrooms anyway. You can have one and I can have one."
I have no objection to making a wish.
So Wu Shiming took her to decide on the name of the store, the types of embroidery fabrics to be sold, and the display of the shop. He did not leave until it was dark, reluctantly.
Wu Shiming acted quickly. He packed up his things that night and moved them in overnight. Then he went out to find someone to prepare for the renovation of the shop.
I had to make a wish and it took me until late at night before I could fall asleep.
Just as she was falling asleep, she heard someone knocking on the window.
Xu Yuan got up helplessly, opened the door and went out.
"Wu Shiming, what else is going on... why are you here?"
Xu Yuan was stunned.
Bei Yao stood by the window. A little yellow light came in from the window, shining on him and giving off a gentle aura.
"If you don't come to me, then I'll have to come to you." Bei Yao said, spreading his sleeves and asked, "Can we go in and talk?"
Bei Yao has been waiting for Xu Yuan to come to see him these two days.
Even if I didn't look for him, I should have asked about the Song family and the Crown Princess. But after waiting for two or three days, there was nothing.
He didn't intend to come here so late at night.
But Master Qin came to report that Wu Shiming had moved to the wishing yard again.
Xu Yuan said nothing and turned around to close the door.
Just when Bei Yao thought Xu Yuan was angry, the window in front of him opened.
Xu Yuan said unhappily, "If you like knocking on the window so much, just come in through the window."
After making the wish, he turned and left.
Seeing this, Bei Yao supported himself on the window with his hands and climbed in.
Xuyuan lit another lamp and asked helplessly, "Master Shen, is there something important that you can't leave until tomorrow morning?"
You have to come here late at night.
I really don't like making a wish.
"Why don't you ask why the Song family is safe and sound?"
"What's there to ask?" Xu Yuan asked back.
"Then don't you want to know who is the princess of Geshu in the Song Mansion?"
Hearing this, Xu Yuan perked up a little and said, "I know, Song Xiujing."
"then you……"
“So, I know why the Song family is safe and sound.”
Xu Yuan interrupted Bei Yao and said helplessly, "It is precisely because that person is Song Xiujing, the concubine to be married to the Third Prince, that the Song family is safe. If the truth about the Crown Princess' miscarriage is revealed, Song Xiuyue's immorality will also implicate Song Xiujing. The royal family will probably cancel the engagement with the Song family. Without this marriage, Song Xiujing will be nothing. By then, Song Tiancheng is very likely to kill Song Xiujing to protect himself and eliminate future troubles. In that case, the Third Prince will not be able to get Geshu's help. Therefore, at this juncture, the Song family cannot get into trouble."
Even though Beiyao had already thought in his heart that Xu Yuan would guess all this, he still couldn't help but feel secretly shocked.
It is rare in the world for someone who is isolated from the news and knows nothing about the affairs of the court to guess this.
But he still said: "What you said makes sense, but you are wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"The Third Prince never thought of marrying Song Xiujing from the beginning to the end. No matter if she was the legitimate daughter of the Song family, a concubine's daughter, or the princess of Geshu, he never thought of marrying Song Xiujing."
Xu Yuan suddenly didn't understand what Bei Yao said, so she asked, "Then why did the Song family..."
"It's because of you."
Bei Yao raised his head, looked at Xu Yuan, and said, "Is it because of you that I didn't give the evidence to the Third Prince?"
"What do you mean?" Xu Yuan didn't understand at all.
"Just when I was about to hand in the evidence, my men found the portrait. That's when I knew that person was Song Xiujing. I knew you wouldn't watch Song Tiancheng kill Song Xiujing. If Song Xiujing's engagement was broken off and the Song family wanted to silence her, you would definitely save her. So, I concealed the truth about the Crown Princess' miscarriage."
Xu Yuan was stunned. She looked at Bei Yao and suddenly didn't know what to say.
Seeing this, Bei Yao spoke again: "Make a wish, I know you and I are not on the same path, just like the Crown Princess incident, if I hadn't taken care of you, Song Xiujing would have died that night, so, can we take the same path, you tell me your purpose, I tell you mine, this way we can avoid some unnecessary harm."
Hearing Bei Yao's words, Xu Yuan paused, his eyes turned cold, "Mr. Shen, you'd better not ask too much about my affairs. It's for your own good."
"Then why can Shen Yichuan know but I can't?"
"Because you are different from him."
The voice of Xuyuan was particularly cold.
Beiyao said nothing.
The wind blew through the window, blowing away the coldness on Xu Yuan's body.
She said, "Shen Renyao, I know you are doing this for my own good, so I can't tell you what I am going to do. You want to protect me, and I also hope you can stay away from this."
"I can protect you."
"But I can't afford to gamble." Xu Yuan looked at Bei Yao and sighed softly, "I only have one life. If I make a wrong bet once, I will lose everything."
