Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

Qiao Man stared at him for a while, feeling jealous in her heart. If it was Fei Yuan who looked more pleasing to the eye in terms of appearance, it was undeniable that she liked him.

It's a pity that Feiyuan is too stubborn and refuses to repent after making a decision, just like her former colleague who wanted to die with his partner even if he died.

She had no better way to deal with Fei Yuan except to collapse his mental power or completely wipe out his mental power. The former Fu Yin had a method that could be cracked, and the latter was her biggest secret weapon and could not be used easily, but It was impossible for her to turn away the help that came to her door.

As her mind wandered, she spoke again: "I think this is a great idea, and it suits my purpose. But based on my understanding of Shen Huaixu, she shouldn't want to know that you have such an idea. Besides, you don't need to By doing this, with Shen Su's position in the heart of the Jin emperor, no one can stop his daughter from marrying whoever she wants."

Fuyin was silent for a moment, then spoke a name and said no more.

Hearing this name, a look of surprise flashed across Qiao Man's face. She recalled some of the news she had received recently, and combined with what she had seen before, she felt that it was not impossible.

She looked at Fuyin with half pity in her eyes, but the corners of her mouth raised slightly. She stretched out a hand and handed it to Fuyin, "In that case, it's a pleasure to cooperate."

Shen Huaixu waited for Fuyin's voice when it was just dawn.

"You slept well."

There was a hint of grievance in his voice.

Shen Huaixu woke up after a while, without opening his eyes, "I fell asleep waiting for you. Did your meeting with Qiao Man go well?" 】

Fuyin felt a little guilty, "It went well."

Listening to his words, Shen Huaixu became more awake. She opened her eyes and said, "It went well?"

"Don't be angry if I tell you."

Shen Huaixu closed his eyes, "Well, if you're not angry, just tell me."

Fuyin hesitated for a while and quickly recounted the conversation between himself and Qiao Man, "... Only in this way can she believe that I am sincerely cooperating with her, and can also prevent her from attacking you... ·how do you feel?"

Shen Huaixu opened her eyes wide and looked at the dark top of her head. She felt that Fuyin's excuse was outrageous but also had a hint of reasonableness. She quickly reviewed the whole thing in her heart, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was not the case. No, it's just that there were some details that Fuyin didn't mention, but she felt that she couldn't get around them.

"You mean you want to use me as a hostage? Qiao Man knows that you can enter and exit the space at any time. Is she relieved?"

Fuyin pursed her lips in dissatisfaction with Shen Huaixu's reaction, and told her the request they made after the cooperation was reached: "Not counting being a hostage, she should have some way of suppressing me, and she promised that I can go see her at any time. You. She needs me to fake death and cut off Dajin, as well as Qinzhou's border defense layout map as a stepping stone for sincere cooperation."

"Only these two things? It seems that she is really arrogant and thinks that I can't make any waves in her territory." Shen Huaixu twitched the corner of his mouth with a calm expression.

"Shen Huaixu, you are the most powerful person I have ever met. She cannot compare to you."

Such words coming from the tall Fei Yuan's mouth were really not in line with his temperament. Miraculously, Shen Huaixu heard a very innocent determination from these words.

A smile flashed across her eyes, "Now you know how to blow rainbow farts? Why don't you think so when you make your own decisions?"

"I know you have a way to prevent Qiao Man from finding you, but that would be too hard, and...I'm afraid you won't agree." Thinking of what he said before to gain Qiao Man's trust, Fuyin knew what to do next. Feeling warm at the base of the ears.

Shen Huaixu understood Fu Yin's concerns and didn't have much objection to it. Rather than hiding and running for his life, it would be more interesting to fall into the hands of his opponent and let her provide for him.

"As long as you agree with me about cheating death, I don't have any objections. As for the border defense layout, she is probably trying to test whether you are loyal to the Jin Dynasty. She can't do anything. She is just the eldest princess now, and the little emperor still hates her. Unless through Qin Xiao, Otherwise, she won't be able to reach the barracks. I'll ask the shopkeeper about Qin Xiao's situation tomorrow." After saying this, Shen Huaixu paused and said, "It's not impossible to be a hostage. Ask Qiao Man not to touch my people. , find more people to serve me, and it’s best to hire a good cook.”

There was a smile in Fuyin's voice, "Okay, I remember."

Shen Huaixu didn't know when Fuyin left the space. He only remembered that before going to bed, he was still thinking about finding out about Qin Xiao tomorrow.

She was awakened by Xiaoman the next day. There was no light in the underground of the restaurant, and the day still seemed like night.

Shen Huaixu was still in a daze for a moment when she opened her eyes. After washing up and eating breakfast brought by the maid of the restaurant, she asked Xiao Man to call the shopkeeper.

"I wonder what the girl wants to ask today?" The shopkeeper really likes the little girl in front of him. He is generous with his actions and looks like a little fox every time he smiles.

"Excuse me, shopkeeper, for making another trip. I invite you to come here today. Do you want to inquire about the number of wives and concubines that Qin Xiao, the prime minister of Southern Xia, has in his residence?"

As soon as the voice fell, Xiaoman presented another silver coin. The shopkeeper opened the red cloth and took a look, and he knew something.

Then he told Qin Xiao's life story one by one, including particularly detailed supplements about Qin Xiao's family situation. This man spoke like a storyteller, and from time to time he also mixed in his own high opinions. Shen Huaixu regretted not having a handful of melon seeds.

After the shopkeeper finished talking, Shen Huaixu thought about Qin Xiao carefully.

He lost his father when he was young and his mother remarried. He lived with his mother and stepfather. His mother kept a low profile and did not even dare to say that he was pushed into the biting lake by his stepfather's children for several cold days. When he was a little older, he married a woman from a better family background. She was coquettish and bossy to him, and he had to swallow it for the sake of his own future.

After that, he climbed up the ladder in Yue's family and gained great power. After his wife died for no reason, he took in several concubines, leaving his position as the head wife vacant.

——Would such a person be determined to help Qiao Man ascend to the throne of God? Shen Huaixu found it difficult.

Not only because Qiao Man was a woman, she subconsciously felt that Qin Xiao's ambition was not small.
