Chapter 213 Xie Yun and Chen Shou

Xie Yun didn't know what Xie You was thinking, and he was too lazy to care.

Three days is not a long time. He must find the Chen family as soon as possible and find a way to fill the hole.

Otherwise, if Luo Hongwang and Xie Xiu really continue to make trouble and demand a thorough investigation into the transfer of Luo family's assets at a low price, it will inevitably lead to the involvement of many people!

The next morning, he went to a bookstore.

The real owner of this bookstore was Chen Shou. After Xie Yun arrived there, he spoke to the shopkeeper in code and asked to see Lord Cheng'en.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper told him an address directly.

He hurried over and found it was an elegant courtyard. However, after entering, he did not see Duke Cheng'en, but instead saw Chen Shou sitting in the waterside pavilion, brewing tea.

Xie Yun hurried over.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he approached, he was dazzled by Chen Shou who was sitting in front of him. He inexplicably felt that this man was elegant and graceful, like a banished immortal.

He was startled by the sudden thought in his heart, and quickly suppressed it, not daring to look at Chen Shou again.

He simply lowered his eyes and bowed, "Prince Chen."

Chen Shou saw his reaction and suddenly felt a strong sense of disgust in his heart.

He didn't know what was happening to him, but he became so attractive to so many admirers for no apparent reason.

First, men like Sun Kang, and then his wives and concubines.

Now, even this old man Xie Yun...

Chen Shou tried hard to suppress the disgust in his heart and asked calmly, "Brother-in-law, have you been upset about the Luo family's affairs recently?"

Xie Yun smiled bitterly and said, "I've made a fool of myself, Prince."

Chen Shou smiled faintly: "Brother-in-law, please sit down and taste the tea."

His posture was very elegant, and his slender fingers were very beautiful. Xie Yun didn't know why, but he felt that Chen Shou's hands had a strange magic that made him unable to look away.

Chen Shou soon realized something was wrong.

His face froze slightly, then he put down the teacup and decisively withdrew his hand.

Xie Yun felt that something was wrong with him, and he became more and more afraid to look at Cheng Xiang, and even dared not touch the tea in front of him.

After he sat down, he said with a bitter face: "Don't be afraid of being laughed at by the prince, I am really at a loss now and don't know what to do.

Luo Hongwang actually has a list of the Luo family's belongings, and he's using it to force me to make up for the shortfall within three days. If I don't, he'll file a complaint with the government.

When the Luo family met with trouble, all their property was looted by bandits. I had no interest in managing the remaining land and shops, so I asked others to sell most of them.

If Luo Hongwang really goes to the government to file a complaint, and the government investigates the matter thoroughly, it will be troublesome."

Xie Yun did not dare to say directly that it was the Chen family that benefited back then. He only said that Luo Hongwang would go to the government to file a complaint, secretly threatening them.

He knew that Chen Shou could understand what he meant.

Not only did Chen Shou understand, he was so angry that he clenched the teacup in his hand.

His face darkened in displeasure: "Are you threatening me?"

Xie Yun quickly said, "Your Highness has misunderstood. How dare I threaten you? I'm just worried."

Chen Shou sneered, "If you hadn't been so soft-hearted and allowed Xie Xiu, this scourge, to remain, how could we be in this situation now?"

His words were very rude, so Xie Yun could no longer bear it and his face darkened. He snorted unhappily, "Your Highness, you're going too far. If it weren't for Chen Fang, none of this would have happened!"

If the Chen family had not been too greedy and taken away most of the Luo family's property, how could he not be able to fill this hole and have to come to the Chen family?

He has been keeping this secret for the Chen family, and Chen Shou actually has the nerve to blame him. He is really shameless!

Chen Shou looked at Xie Yun coldly, but Xie Yun looked back at him without showing any weakness.

The two of them just looked at each other, neither of them willing to speak up and give in.

After a long while, Chen Shou finally asked, "I can give you some money to help you fill this hole. The question is, what are you going to give in exchange?"

Xie Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his face still showed that look of unwillingness to admit defeat: "How did this hole come about? The prince must know very well.

I came here today instead of going to the Ministry of Justice to tell everything that happened back then. The prince should know that I have always been on the side of the Chen family.

Now, why do you have to test me with such words?"

Chen Shou looked at him deeply, and suddenly laughed heartily: "Brother-in-law is indeed a smart man. He always knows what to do."

After saying that, he picked up the box that had been prepared beside him and pushed it directly in front of Xie Yun: "The gold notes in here should be able to make up for the deficit. Take it, brother-in-law."

Xie Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief again, and calmly pressed the box with his hand: "Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness! If you need me in the future, I will be at your disposal!"

The two exchanged some pleasantries before Chen Shou served the guest tea.

After Xie Yun said goodbye and left, his figure completely disappeared. A woman dressed as a woman came out from the next room, snuggled gently into Chen Shou's arms, and said with some displeasure, "Xie Yun has already been dismissed from office, his reputation is ruined, and yet he dared to be so rude to the prince. The prince is even trying to make up for his losses. He's getting a bargain!"

"Why, are you worried about the gold?" Chen Shou pinched her nose in amusement. "Don't worry, the Luo family is just keeping it temporarily. Once this matter is over, there will be plenty of opportunities to make them spit it out in the future!"

The woman looked at him distressedly: "Of course I believe in your ability, but I can't bear to see you suffer even the slightest injustice. Who the hell is Xie Yun? How dare he treat you like this?"

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Chen Shou was very satisfied with her attitude and laughed happily.

After he finished laughing, he explained, "Don't think that Xie Yun has been dismissed from office. He didn't hold the position of Hanlin scholar for nothing."

The woman smiled coquettishly: "Since he is useful to you, I will not say anything about him."

After saying that, her hand dishonestly lit a fire on Chen Shou's chest.

Chen Shou's face darkened, and he pressed down her restless hand. "I've been feeling unwell lately, and the imperial physician told me not to overwork. Please keep me company and talk. Is your business going well? Is anyone causing you any trouble?"

The woman had no choice but to withdraw her hand in disappointment and complain to him about business matters.

The two of them snuggled together, both of them looked very good. From a distance, those who didn't know them would think they were a perfect couple.
