PNB Chapter 327 Congratulations
Chapter 327 Congratulations
Shen Shuyi didn't look at him again, turned his head and looked out the window, and said faintly: "Prince Song wants to help the country, but I don't know if he can see the suffering of the people."
Xiao Tingshan frowned slightly, feeling that Shen Shuyi was unmoved and was still practicing Tai Chi with him.
"Ms. Shen seems to have a deep prejudice against me."
Xiao Tingshan did not ask again this time, but used a declarative sentence, because he had asked too many times, but it was obvious that Shen Shuyi had no intention of giving him an answer.
Shen Shuyi retracted his gaze, looked at him and said: "As the saying goes, when a person takes off his skin, he has 206 bones, but when he puts on clothes, he can have 18,000 appearances. I have no appearance, but I also have all kinds of appearances. What appearance I have depends on you."
Hearing this, Xiao Tingshan's heart sank.
Obviously, what Shen Shuyi meant by this was to imply that he was not a good person and was not worthy of friendship, so she was never afraid of making enemies with him.
After a while, Xiao Tingshan laughed and stopped dwelling on it. He just said, "No matter what Miss Shen thinks, I will definitely ask Mr. Liancheng to help me prolong my life."
Shen Shuyi chuckled: "If Mr. Song has this ability, Shuyi will naturally congratulate him."
Xiao Tingshan said slowly, "If Miss Shen wants to ask for her brother someday, perhaps Song can also speak well of you in front of Mr. Liancheng."
Shen Shuyi sneered, "Young Master Song is so sure, I think someone must have died in the capital."
Xiao Tingshan's pride faded away in an instant, as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on his head. It was not because of anything else, but because the girl in front of him could guess his plan.
"It's really beyond my expectation that Miss Shen is willing to take so much trouble for an irrelevant person." Xiao Tingshan spoke slowly. This was exactly what he didn't understand.
She was willing to go to great lengths to save an orphan girl who was of little use, but she treated herself, who was obviously more valuable, like a worn-out shoe.
He was certain that if the two of them joined forces, they would be able to get Liancheng out of retirement. It was clearly a win-win outcome, so why not do it?
Shen Shuyi's almond-shaped eyes were calm, and he said in a cold voice: "Prince Song naturally doesn't understand."
Shen Shuyi knew clearly that his eyes could accommodate the vastness of mountains and rivers, but not the mundane affairs of the world. He was ambitious and hoped for peace and prosperity in the world, but he never knew how to bring happiness to the people.
He talked about benevolence, righteousness, and morality, but what he refused to mention was his filthiness. He thought he could become an omnipotent emperor who could fight wars all over the country, but he didn't know that along the way, he was stepping on the corpses and flesh and blood of the common people.
How do you expect a person who never looks down to have compassion on all living beings?
Shen Shuyi looked far away, and said with a slight smile: "Prince Song, you don't have to worry about it anymore. We are on different paths and cannot make plans together."
Shen Shuyi could accept the sudden deaths of people like Jiang Li, Jiuchou, and even herself, but she could not bear the disappearance of Huang Ying and the girl in the hunting ground.
Because Jiang Li, Jiuchou or myself, they all entered the game with their bodies, they had their own desires and aims, and since they were at the gambling table, they would accept defeat.
But Huang Ying and the young girl were victims of power struggles and interest struggles from the beginning to the end. They were forced to be involved in one conspiracy after another. They didn't know why they lived or why they died. They had no desire, but they had no control over themselves.
Xiao Tingshan did not force it. After all, even if he admitted that Shen Shuyi was indeed beyond his expectations and had some abilities, he did not think that she, a powerless woman, could stir up the storm.
"Miss Shen has many experts under her. I hope that what she did today will not make her regret in the future."
Xiao Tingshan's voice was still gentle, but it was obviously much colder.
Perhaps people have seen through his disguise, and his patience has run out, so he no longer has the will to pretend.
Hearing the pride in his words, Shen Shuyi did not refute, but just said: "It seems that Mr. Song is determined to win."
Xiao Tingshan said in a deep voice: "Yes."
Shen Shuyi smiled, put on his veil and stood up: "If the prince Song comes to me one day, I am afraid I may not be as kind-hearted as you."
After saying this, without waiting for Xiao Tingshan to respond, Shen Shuyi took his people away.
Xiao Tingshan stood on the second floor, watching the woman get into the car and leave in the romantic atmosphere, and he was unusually agitated.

The next day, afternoon.
Xiao Tingshan stood in front of the window, waiting for news from the Wenren Sect, until a carrier pigeon, covered in frost, landed on his shoulder.
He took off the note tied to the pigeon's foot and saw only two simple words: "Done."
Xiao Tingshan curled the corners of his lips, and his somewhat tense face relaxed visibly.
Wenren Zong has already succeeded, and as long as he succeeds, Shen Shuyi will no longer have any evidence.
Even if she wanted to find other evidence, it would take time.
The road is blocked by heavy snow now. If it weren't for a master like Wenren Zong who can travel thousands of miles a day, it would be difficult to succeed so quickly.
Even if we wait for him to return to Beijing now, it will still take several days.
Not long after, Shen Shuyi also received the news sent by Zhao Dehai.
He opened Jiang Li's letter, his slightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and a slight curve appeared at the corner of his lips.
Let's just let Xiao Tingshan be happy for a while.
Not long after, Shen Shuyi received news from Jiang Lian again.
"Miss, Jiang Lian said that Song Tingshan found Mr. Liancheng and claimed that he had found Lianqiao, but..." Jinzhu reported in a low voice.
"But the person is already dead." Shen Shuyi raised his eyes slightly, not surprised at all.
After all, Huang Ying is dead, and in a few days, the body will rot.
If the body rots, then everything he seeks will be meaningless.
"Let's go and take a look too." Shen Shuyi said in a deep voice.
"Yes."
Half an hour later, when Shen Shuyi arrived at Liancheng's courtyard, he couldn't help being in a trance for a moment.
The usually untidy and sloppy man was gone. Instead, under a dead tree not far away, there was a man wearing light grey cloth, with neat hair and clean and tidy appearance.
Liancheng shaved his beard clean, and his back, which had been hunched over, was now straight.
Perhaps because he was afraid of being disliked, he deliberately changed into a new set of clean clothes. His hair was not messy at all and was combed cleanly and smoothly.
Seeing this, Shen Shuyi's heart couldn't help but feel a little sad.
She stopped in the distance and didn't come forward.
Perhaps he heard some noise, Liancheng turned around, and when he saw it was her, the expectation in his eyes inevitably fell, but quickly rose again.
Shen Shuyi clearly felt his excitement, his cloudy eyes were full of anticipation, and his eyes were red. Even though he was trying to pretend to be calm, he still couldn't hide his joy.
Perhaps because there was no one to share it with, when Lian Cheng saw Shen Shuyi, he did not ask anyone to drive her away as usual. Instead, he moved his lips and said in a somewhat dumb voice: "I... I found Lian Qiao..."
As they were talking, Jiang Lian, who was dressed as a teenager, came out of a shabby low room. When he saw Shen Shuyi, he immediately broke into a big smile.
Shen Shuyi smiled back, and through Jiang Lian's sparkling eyes, he whispered, "Congratulations."
