Chapter 418: To break the deadlock, you must take a risky move!
Seeing that her husband Shen Chaozong was so trustworthy and determined to protect Yuzhen, Liu Wanyun felt mixed emotions and suddenly changed the subject to a different tone.

After explaining the matter clearly, he simply sat down next to Chaozong, showing his decisiveness and cleverness.

Upon hearing this, Shen Chaozong's eyes seemed to suddenly light up.

As husband and wife, he understood Liu's temper very well.

At the moment, the fact that he is willing to say all these things so readily must mean that he has already made up his mind about them.
Then Chaozong suddenly noticed that his wife had changed her behavior, and he quickly understood what she was thinking, and started to question her!

"kindness?!"

“Wan, Wanyun!”

"From what you said, is there any other way? Huh?!"

"You, tell me quickly!"

"Tell me quickly!" Shen Chaozong was impatient.

But Liu smiled, sat still for a moment, and ignored him.

The head of the Shen family, Master Chaozong, was so anxious that he was furious!
He stood up suddenly, and without paying attention to his sleeves, he almost knocked over the new tea on the table!
"Oops!"

"Wanyun!"

"Madam, madam!"

"What can I do? You... just tell me now!"

"Well, let me, Shen Chaozong, salute you. Isn't saluting enough?"

As he spoke, Chao Zong saw that there was no one else in the room, so he didn't restrain his behavior. He came forward and bowed, showing respect to the person in the room who was nearly 20 years younger than him!

In order to find a solution, the old master style is no longer needed!

Seeing this, Liu Wanyun covered her mouth and laughed, and hurriedly supported her husband's wrist with one hand, then stood up, held Chaozong again, and pushed him back to sit on the chair.

"Oh, all right!"

"Look at you!"

"Humph!"

"Well, I do have one!"

"Ugh"

"Look, you masters of the house are always talking about the past and the present with outsiders, seeking fame and reputation!"

"But when it comes to serious matters, why can't your brain change its mind?!"

"If you want me to tell you!"

"The Gu family's proposal for marriage!"

"It looks like a dead end move!"

"But if we really see the market trend, we can bet on it!"

"It's hard to say, there's no chance of a comeback!"

"Well, it's more than just a comeback. It may even lead to a sudden ascension to the sky. Who knows!"

Aunt Liu pretended to be mysterious and went a step further, mocking the tune of the lyrics.

"oh?!"

"This this"

"Oh, stop keeping me in suspense!"

"Hurry up and tell me, hurry up and tell me!"

"What on earth does this mean?!"

Shen Chaozong listened obediently and for a moment, he paid no attention to Liu's ridicule and hurried to find out what the solution was!

Seeing this, Liu Wanyun decided to stop and answered quickly without any further delay.

"Ah, sir!"

"You think so!"

"The Gu family allowed the two women of the Xing family to mediate this time, deliberately putting pressure on us to force us to submit and bring about this matter of sending betrothal gifts and proposing marriage!"

"It's all because of the prefectural authority of Zhao Xiande!"

"Now that I have made up my mind, I must reject this marriage!"

"Well, then, he must come up with a bigger name, one that can overshadow him as the prefect, to be successful!"

"You say, is this right or wrong?!" Liu unravels the matter and discusses the key points in detail.

But after hearing these words, Shen Chaozong was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded with a sullen face.

"Uh"

"Yes, yes!"

"It's natural!"

"But, oops!"

"Wanyun, Zhao Xiande is a dignified fourth-rank official, the chief official of Yangzhou City!"

"You, you called me." Shen Shen was speechless.

"Yes! My family is a salt merchant. If we have to discuss this, I can still have a say with the officials and ministers of the Ministry of Revenue!"

"But you have to understand that I am just a commoner after all!" "I know my own worth!"

"Even if I go to Nanjing and ask for help, I'm afraid no one will answer me!"

"The current official is not as good as the current manager!"

"Besides, it's such a trivial reason!"

"Who would care about this thankless and difficult job?!"

Shen Chaozong spread his hands, very disappointed with Liu's words!
"Ugh"

"Easier said than done!"

"What's the point of my old face?!"

"If I really need help, I would have thrown this face into the Qinhuai River long ago. What's the harm?!"

"But the point is, this... this doesn't help!"

Chaozong's expression became lonely again and he sighed.

"Ouch!"

"Why can't you use your brain again?"

"If asking directly doesn't work, can't we find another way to get it over with?!"

"Chao Zong!"

"Hey, haven't you been running to the Chamber of Commerce these past two days?"

"For the Emperor's selection of concubines, I see you and the Shanxi merchants have been fighting openly and covertly!"

"Tell me, if this is how we persuade Yuzhen to enter the palace, what do you think?!"

Liu Wanyun's words brought the dilemma together!
Upon hearing this, Shen Chaozong was horrified. He quickly looked at Liu's face and said something in astonishment.

"oh?!"

"This"

"You, you mean"

"No, no, no!" Shen Zi shook his head.

"Oh, Yuzhen and Xiao'e, the two girls, just like Zhengwen, are hiding their identities and fleeing south!"

"Outsiders don't know this, and you don't know it yet!"

"Brother Zhu is in Beijing, he has committed a crime and is a traitor!"

"This is a secret. If we don't handle it properly, it will bring disaster!"

"How dare you take such a risk?!"

While Shen Chaozong was speaking, he looked around and lowered his voice, fearing that his voice would be heard by the servants.

From what I heard, Liu Wanyun's tone didn't seem to change much.

"oops!"

"Very few people know about this!"

"It's a time of chaos and war right now. If you and I don't tell her, and the girl doesn't say anything, who would know?!"

"Besides, when Zhengwen came, you and the Zhu family had already made arrangements for his identity and family background!"

“How?!”

"Is it really that impossible to check?!" Liu continued to say the possibility.

"Uh"

"Well, it's not because of this."

"But, the main thing is, Zhengwen left home early, and no one in the capital knew him, so it's easier to hide it!"

"But Yuzhen and Xiao'e didn't get out until the beginning of the year, when the capital fell to the enemy!"

"What if someone familiar recognizes me?"

Shen Chaozong was mature and prudent. Although he had been impressed by this plan, when he heard such bold behavior, he still remembered to consider the disadvantages.

"Well, that's true!"

"Ah, sir!"

"In fact, girls from secluded places rarely show up in public, so your worries are not entirely accurate!"

"I think it's safer to ask Yuzhen about whether this is feasible or not!"

"What do you think?!" Liu asked again.

At this point, a door to wealth and honor in danger has quietly appeared and is placed in front of Shen Chaozong!
Chaozong raised his hand tremblingly and subconsciously took the teacup, took a sip, and took the opportunity to calm down for a moment.

After a long silence, he finally let out a long breath!

"Ugh"

"If you want to break the deadlock, you have to take a risky move!"

"But if you really want to do this!"

"If we make a wrong move from now on, our Shen family will be doomed!" Shen Wei sighed.
