Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 149 Aren’t You Afraid of Being Remembered?

Xuyuan asked in return: "Why would you refuse?"

Bei Yao paused, not knowing how to start.

Xu Yuan said: "Since he is determined to fight for that position, he should naturally understand that marrying Song Xiujing will be his greatest help."

"Is the position of crown prince only possible by marrying Song Xiujing?" Bei Yao asked back.

"Of course not, but he is a prince, so naturally he has fewer choices than many others. If he really becomes the crown prince, what does it matter if there is only one Song Xiujing? The four words "three thousand concubines" are not false. Since there will be so many people, what's the harm in having one more Song Xiujing?"

Xu Yuan looked at Bei Yao and suddenly felt confused. "If I were you, I would definitely find out the truth about this matter immediately. If it is true, I would tell the Third Prince immediately, get married right away, and then use this incident to seize the military power of the Song family. Why are you so confused today?"

"I...I just wanted to see if there were any other, better ways."

Beiyao looked at Xuyuan.

That look made Xu Yuan feel uncomfortable. She moved, looked outside the carriage and said, "Don't look at me like that. It makes me uncomfortable."

Bei Yao laughed, retracted his gaze, and slowly asked, "You are fifteen years old this year?"

Xuyuan didn't know why the topic suddenly came up to her, but she still said, "Yes."

"Men from ordinary families have already married at this time. Have you ever thought about it? If you pass the national exam and have a reputation, whose girl will you marry?"

Bei Yao said this while quietly watching Xu Yuan's expression.

He had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

Xu Yuan came here to overturn the Xu family's verdict. Judging from her pace, she will be able to find out everything before the last national exam.

After overturning the case for the Xu family...

Bei Yao didn't know whether to wish to stay in the capital or return to Sishui County.

How can the people in that place be worthy of making a wish?

Now the Prime Minister's Mansion wants to marry off his daughter, and the Grand Marshal's Mansion is also planning to do the same...

Will Wishing choose one of these two people?

But what is her identity?

Beiyao had many questions in his mind, but he couldn't ask them, so he just found a question that would arouse the least suspicion.

It looked like just an ordinary conversation between friends.

"I haven't thought about it yet." Xu Yuan said honestly.

In her previous life, she didn’t get justice and didn’t expect this.

In this life, her revenge has not been taken, her enemies have not paid the price, how could she even think about such things?

Nothing is more important than her overturning the Xu family's verdict.

"What if?" Bei Yao continued to ask.

"I don't want to be an official. If I achieve fame and do what I want to do, I will probably leave the capital. Then I will have no worries about food and clothing, and I can travel around and see the vast territory of Tianqi. When I have free time, I can stay at home to organize poetry collections, grow flowers and farm, all of which are good."

Hearing the wish, Bei Yao was slightly startled.

He heard it.

Xu Yuan did not want to stay in the capital, nor was he greedy for its prosperity.

All she wants is justice.

In other words, the entire Xu family died tragically here. Those were her most beloved people. Naturally, she would not want to stay in such a sad place.

What's more...what's the purpose of being an official?

Are you going to manage the country for the person who killed you and wiped out your family?

Inside the carriage, it became quiet.

After a long while, Bei Yao smiled and said, "If there is a chance in the future, you and I can go together. I am not very interested in worldly fame and fortune."

"Okay." Xu Yuan nodded.

After another half an hour, the paralysis slowly stopped.

Chen Shan brought over a low stool and placed it next to the carriage to make it easier to get on and off the carriage.

Bei Yao was still the first to go out, then made a wish and left.

Chen Shan went over to tie up the horse, while Xu Yuan looked at the yard in front of him and asked in surprise, "Is this Ronghua Garden?"

"Aren't these three words written very clearly?"

Bei Yao smiled, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

Xu Yuan sighed and said, "You are really rich."

Ronghuayuan is the largest courtyard outside the capital.

It is comparable to a royal garden.

In his previous life, Xu Yuan had also heard of this Ronghua Garden.

It is said that it covers a very large area, and if you want to get to the innermost part after passing the main gate, you have to take a carriage or sedan chair.

There are rockery and strange rocks, as well as courtyards and pavilions. There are three library rooms and many calligraphy and painting rooms.

The Xu residence used to be very large, but it was still not as big as Ronghuayuan.

Moreover, there were hundreds of people living in Xu's house, including hundreds of maids and servants.

But Ronghuayuan is different, as it has only one master.

Xu Yuan never thought that this would be his property...

Xu Yuan said faintly: "Aren't you afraid of being missed?"

Such a big yard, if people knew it belonged to the Shen family.

I'm afraid the Shen family had already been impeached by the censors and had to resign.

Hearing this, Bei Yao smiled faintly and said, "Don't show off your wealth. If I don't tell you and you don't tell me, who will know who owns this house?"

"That... makes sense."

Xuyuan nodded with difficulty.

She had not yet comprehended such a large mansion, and after hearing Bei Yao's words, she felt that... this man was a little too bold.

He always takes his time.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan suddenly thought, it’s a good thing it was him.

If anyone else was hunted down by Zhuifengtang, they would have died long ago.

He was the only one who had managed to escape unscathed over the years and killed so many people from Zhuifeng Hall.

Bei Yao said: "It's getting late, go in first, don't stand at the gate and talk."

Xu Yuan followed Bei Yao's steps inside and asked, "I suddenly remembered that I haven't asked you yet, how is the Chasing Wind Hall going?"

Make a wish and remember that the person in front of you vowed to make Zhuifengtang look good.

She didn't believe it before, but now she feels that maybe he really has this ability...

After all, not everyone has the financial resources to build such a large mansion outside the capital.

Bei Yao was slightly startled when Zhuifeng Hall was suddenly mentioned. His smile froze for only a moment. He smiled and said, "It will be soon. You will know after the New Year."

"I understand." Xu Yuan nodded.

The two of them walked slowly, and Chen Shan never followed.

Fortunately, we didn’t walk far. After passing the rockery and a pavilion in the middle of the lake, we made a wish and saw the house.

As expected, the place was large, with each house far apart and separated by railings, and many trees planted in front of the courtyards.

They are all precious trees.

It's hard to find one on the street outside, and the one in the yard is as worthless as cabbage.

Xu Yuan once again sighed, this is really rich.

Beiyao did not lead anyone in, but kept walking until someone came towards him. Then he said, "Young Master Qin, take Young Master Xu to rest."

Master Tan?

Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and saw someone walking towards him from afar.

Wearing black tights and walking with powerful steps.

She looked like a martial artist, but the amazing thing was that she was a woman.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Xu Yuan kept looking at Gongzi Qin, Bei Yao asked.

"Nothing..." Xu Yuan shook his head, but subconsciously said: "I just felt that I seemed to have seen her somewhere."

Beiyao's smile froze slightly.

Young Master Qin, who was walking towards him, also froze in smile.
