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

After so many years of ups and downs in the officialdom, a person who has reached the position of regent must not be simple. How could he give up the world to a woman with some special abilities? Not to mention that he suffered so much, and it was all thanks to his stepmother's help. How could such a person be willing to be driven by a woman?

Before Qiao Man sent someone to find him, Shen Huaixu wanted to get in touch with the regent. She first ordered Lixia and the others to hide outside Xiangyi City. After arranging them, she and Shuangjiang changed their appearance and walked out of the restaurant.

As soon as the two stepped out of the restaurant's door, they were blocked by Nanxia soldiers wearing heavy armor.

"Miss Shen, my master has invited me, please come with me!"

Shuangjiang immediately drew his knife and stood in front of Shen Huaixu.

The restaurant owner wiped the sweat from his face and walked closer and asked: "Auntie, who did you offend? These military men surrounded my restaurant and didn't say anything. I never thought it was because of you, girl. What a pity, we are all serious businessmen, we just do business when we give money..."

On the surface, he said it to Shen Huaixu, but in fact, he said it to the fierce-looking soldier.

In the past two days, she had been taken care of by the shopkeeper in every possible way, so she took advantage of the situation and said: "To be honest, I don't know who I have offended."

She looked at the leading soldier, "Can you tell me who your master is?"

The soldiers only stared at Shen Huaixu, as if they were afraid that she would run away in full view of the public.

No one answered. Shen Huaixu was silent for a moment and stopped asking. He turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Thank you for taking me in these two days. I am clean and can walk and sit upright. I will go with them. Farewell."

Her current attire was different from the portrait of Qiu Ye who wanted her. She was taken away in public, so no one should cause trouble in the restaurant.

Shen Huaixu, Xiaoman, and Shuangjiang were blindfolded and taken to a remote yard, and then Shen Huaixu was locked in a room alone.

The decoration inside the house is quite gorgeous, and there are crisp wind chimes ringing from time to time outside.

She pushed the window, but could only open a gap that could not be passed. She walked to the door and tried to open the door, but found that the door was locked.

"I'm hungry, bring me some food."

Shen Huaixu walked to the table and sat down, paying careful attention to the movement outside. After a while, he heard footsteps disappearing.

The food brought in by the maid was not bad, with three dishes and one soup. She asked the maid where Xiaoman and Shuangjiang were, but the other party just pretended not to hear, but remained respectful on the surface.

When the maid exited, Shen Huaixu saw someone guarding her, so he retreated into the room and sat down at the table, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

There was no condiment in the meal, which made her raise her eyebrows in surprise.

Qiao Man came the next day.

When she arrived, Shen Huaixu, who had been bored for most of the day, was sitting by a well outside the house reading a storybook.

As soon as Qiao Man came in, she saw Shen Huaixu's figure. She glanced at the people kneeling in the courtyard with a hint of displeasure. Until their heads were about to hit the bottom, she whispered to the people around her: "Everyone, go down first. Don't disturb me." The princess reminisces with her old friends.”

The palace maids and eunuchs beside her didn't seem to be curious about how the sickly princess who had lived in the royal palace for a long time knew this old friend, and they just bowed their heads in agreement.

After everyone left, Qiao Man walked to Shen Huaixu and said, "Shen Huaixu, long time no see. Come to my place——"

Her voice paused subtly for a moment, as if she was thinking about her words, "—where's the vacation?"

I saw a small table next to Shen Huaixu. On the table were watermelon, melon seeds, snacks and tea cut into small pieces.

Shen Huaixu spared Qiao Man's eyes and said without raising his head, "The eldest princess caught me here without saying a word, and you still don't allow me to earn my own living and be more comfortable?"

This well-adapted look made Qiao Man even more unhappy. She leaned forward slightly, reached out to lift Shen Huaixu's chin, and smiled softly, "To be honest, I want to kill you even more."

"Why not?" Shen Huaixu asked her, seemingly confused.

Qiao Man let go of her hand, her anger disappeared, and she said with a cold expression: "Of course it's because of Fu Yin. I advise you to be calm and don't try to leave here, otherwise it will be razed to the ground in an instant. Don't blame me for not notifying you in advance. You, even Fuyin, can't detect what I did."

Shen Huaixu's brows and eyes were cold for a moment, but soon the ice melted, and her eyes fell on the storybook again, "It seems that what I collected from you before was only a small part. What a pity."

Speaking of the past, Qiao Man remembered the embarrassment she was in when she escaped from Dajin, and her expression broke for a moment. She said coldly: "You have such an unpleasant mouth. Now it seems that being a mute is the most suitable thing."

Shen Huaixu raised his eyes to look at her and suddenly sighed, "I thought you had made progress in the past few years. I never thought that you were not as ambitious and ambitious as before. Now you are starting to start a quarrel with me. It's really disappointing."

After saying that, she put down her script and picked up the tea cup, her intention to see the guests off was obvious.

Qiao Man admitted that she was angered by Shen Huaixu's anti-customer attitude again. Such a clear understanding made her want to take action, but she suppressed the anger in her heart when she thought of Fu Yin.

"Your two maids are still in my hands. I don't want them to suffer too much, so just be honest."

After saying that, Qiao Man left with a puff of sleeves.

A hint of worry flashed across Shen Huaixu's lowered eyes. She put down the teacup in her hand and tapped her fingertips on the table a few times. What if she wanted to give Fuyin a beating?

In the evening, after seeing the small note written by Shen Huaixu, Fuyin appeared as expected and saw Shen Huaixu sitting at the table waiting for him. When he saw him coming, he immediately stood up and walked towards him.

Fuyin was stunned, what does this mean?

He thought wildly, could it be that he has enlightened himself? Or have you finally realized that Ben Hiyuan is really good-looking?

Fuyin sometimes really suspected that Shen Huaixu didn't have such a thing as aesthetics. Even after spending time with him day and night, he was not captured by his appearance. This made him, who had always been confident in his appearance, a little frustrated.

"What? Are you late?" He pretended to be calm and walked quickly to stand in front of Shen Huaixu.

"Why didn't you come last night?"

As soon as she was caught here yesterday, she wrote a small note to Fuyin. In the end, Fuyin only came to the space to ask about the situation.

Fuyin's words had a profound meaning in his ears, and his ears turned red for a moment, "I've been busy these days, making preparations to cheat my death. If you..." want me to come, I'll try my best. Make time for you.

"Qiao Man is here today." Shen Huaixu was a little worried about Xiaoman and Shuangsheng. He couldn't wait to tell Fuyin what happened during the day, and then said, "Do you know where they are being held?"

Fuyin:······

When he spoke again, his voice became a little deeper, "Don't worry, the two of them are in a room not far from you. They are in good spirits and should not have suffered any physical or physical pain."

"That's fine." Shen Huaixu felt relieved. Looking at the person in front of him, he slowly noticed that he seemed to be in a bad mood.

"Things are not going well? Why do you look so unhappy?" It wasn't like this when you first came, right?

Fu Yin glanced at her and felt that it was not worth it to be angry alone. He should find someone to vent his anger on. So he restrained himself and retracted his gaze and walked towards the door. "Since Qiao Man threatened you, I will go to visit you in person and find out what happened."

The next moment, the locked door opened with a bang. Fuyin didn't care how alert the guards in the yard were, and only said, "You have a good rest."

Shen Huaixu looked at one of the kicked-in doors and was speechless for a moment. She asked the doorkeeper, "Why don't you arrest him?"

The gatekeeper stood motionless, "It said above that men who come out of the house will not be caught."

Shen Huaixu:...Her innocence!
