With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

Chapter 248: Must I marry if I am rescued from the water? 19
The reason why he was up so late was that he was thinking about something, and he also asked someone to inquire about the situation of the Lin family.

After having such a weird dream, he couldn't help but take it seriously.

Once this idea enters one's heart, he cannot ignore it. He is not someone who does not understand.

After finding out everything, he led the dog over, intending to try to make contact. If it was suitable, he would try to make more contact, but if it was not suitable, then forget about it. This was because this was an ancient society, and he had too many concerns.

In modern society, everyone has similar thoughts, there aren't so many taboos, and people can be more bold and free to do whatever they want.

He didn't expect to change the people who grew up in this kind of society, that would be so difficult.

When he came here, he saw Shi Wen in front of the shop, looking like she was being bullied.

He didn't know what Shi Wen was like before, but after finding out the whole story, he had some opinions about her. Combined with the smile that flashed across Miss Lin's eyes that day and the uneasy feeling in the bandit's den, he also began to suspect Shi Wen.

But there is no evidence as to what happened specifically, it's all just his guess.

This is an ambitious woman.

In fact, he had a feeling that day that it was very easy to distinguish whether a person had calculations and ambitions. He had come into contact with all kinds of people in his previous life. Even though Shi Wen hid it, he still discovered the other person's hidden thoughts.

Compared to those experienced people she had met before, Shi Wen was still a little green.

But does that have anything to do with him?

So the thought just flashed through his mind at the time and he didn't want to care too much.

Not only him, I'm afraid his father also has doubts about Shi Wen and Qin Cheng. I remember that day at dinner, his father smiled when he mentioned Ying Bairong, but paused when he mentioned Qin Cheng.

The two of them were hoping that there wouldn't be any mistakes next time. If they dared to cause trouble again, his father would be very sensitive to bandits and would never let them off easily.

There is nothing wrong with ambition, but it is a problem when it harms the people around you.

Shen Xuan came back to his senses. He didn't look at Shi Wen for long. His eyes were fixed on the bones. He said casually, "Does this lady want more bones? If not, Miss Lin, please pack them up for me. My family enjoys a lot of food."

Xiangfu squatted on the side and wagged his tail, as if responding to the words of his master Shen Xuan. Yes, he had a big appetite.

"I came here to buy meat, but they are all sold out here. Please come in, Mr. Shen." Shi Wen moved aside a little and looked up at Shen Xuan shyly. However, he didn't even look at her. His eyes were only on the bones. He picked up one and threw it to Xiangfu.

Shi Wen also knew that with her status, she could never get close to someone like Shen Xuan. Even if she wanted to, she wouldn't dare to plot anything. Would she want to die then? Even from a long-term perspective, she still thought Ying Bairong was the best.

This Shen Xuan is just an uneducated and unskillful playboy, he is only like this because his father is a county magistrate.

Magistrate Shen has been in Lanru County for many years and has never been promoted, let alone transferred elsewhere. She heard from her cousin that Magistrate Shen was disliked by the current emperor and demoted to Lanru County.

Therefore, even though he had made great contributions in suppressing bandits, he still failed to be promoted. It was said that he had committed a serious mistake, and it was merciful of His Majesty not to kill him.

It was as if he was left to fend for himself here.

Ying Bairong, however, was talented and had a promising future. He might even be able to pass the imperial examination. Once he did, he would have a higher starting point than County Magistrate Shen.

Just thinking about this made her heart burn with passion, and when she looked at Shen Xuan beside her, she felt calm. She looked better than Ying Bairong, but it was a pity that this was the end of her life.

However, Shi Wen thought about her own situation again. Qu Shao had not shown up, so she didn't dare to do anything rash. Recently, her mother had been nagging in her ears and was very dissatisfied with her. She was annoyed to death.

Today, she was asked to go to Lin Daming's shop again to see if she could get some benefits.

Before she came, she felt that she would not succeed, and sure enough, Lin Qi did not fall for it as before.

Last time, my mother said something nonsense and offended Lin Daming. She was probably angry with me too, so there's no way she can get any advantage here.

It’s so annoying. How can she marry Ying Bairong?
Her cousin was also urging her, asking her if she had contacted Qu Shao and asking her to deal with his issue first.

Qu Shao is the same. It has been several days and he still hasn't shown up. Don't you know that she can't wait at her age? The last time the plan failed, it was all Qu Shao's fault for not tying up Ying Bairong properly. Otherwise, even if the soldiers came at that time, she would have saved Ying Bairong.

Shi Wen didn't stay here any longer, and said to Ah Qi: "I'll go check out other butcher shops."

Ah Qi just responded and would not try to keep him.

"Is the Second Master Shen busy at home today?" A'qi asked with a smile.

Shen Xuan said vaguely: "My father is busy. I don't live with them, so he's not busy."

His father is extremely busy every day, so it can't be considered a lie.

It was strange. He was thick-skinned and willing to take risks. He had different ways to deal with different customers, but today he felt it was difficult. In order to close a big deal, he followed a customer for three months. He even helped his children with homework, pick them up and cook for them.

Maybe it was because he had traveled through time for more than ten years and was no longer familiar with it. "The bones are tied up." Ah Qi handed the bones to Shen Xuan, who took them and felt a little regretful when he saw that she was going to close the stall.

Due to the social environment, Shen Xuan really didn't dare to say more, for fear of offending others and making them think he was a pervert, which would then be the end of him.

He is really difficult.

We have long known that falling in love is difficult, and in ancient times the difficulty was ten times greater.

[Host, don’t you want to be a widower? ] The system said something inappropriate.

Shen Xuan: [Haven't you heard that people's hearts are fickle? ]

He watched Ah-Qi cleaning up, and could only glance at her from time to time, but most of the time he was staring at the people eating happily on the ground.

If this happened in his previous life, he would have gone up and helped directly.

In fact, he could go up, but it would easily cause gossip. He was not afraid, but what if the girl couldn't stand it.

Even though he knew about Shi Wen and Lin Qi falling into the water before, and knew that she was not ordinary, he still had many concerns.

Thinking of this, he felt jealous again. Does she actually like Ying Bairong?

Fortunately, Ying Bairong didn't have that idea and she gave up, otherwise he would have no chance at all.

"Xiangfu, take your time eating. I'm leaving now." A'qi touched Xiangfu's head and said hello to Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan responded: "Okay."

He suddenly noticed the book in Ah Qi's hand and asked, "Miss Lin, what book is that in your hand?"

Finally found a topic.

[Host, you are a playboy. It is not appropriate to discuss books with others. People will think you are pretending to be cultured. It is more in line with your personality to talk about cricket fighting and cockfighting.] The system spoke.

Shen Xuan: [If you can't speak, just shut up. ]

He doesn't like those things. He just wants to be a layman and doesn't get close to other playboys.

Ah Qi lowered his head and smiled, then said, "This is a storybook."

She handed over some storybooks, and Shen Xuan finally saw the words on the cover. It was indeed a storybook. He had read it before, but the words were not as refreshing as modern language and were not suitable for him. He didn't read them much later, but occasionally went to listen to the books, which was interesting.

"I've seen it too." Shen Xuan said.

Ah Qi followed up and said, "Is that so? Which character does Second Master Shen like?"

"I read it a long time ago, I forgot." Shen Xuan was embarrassed, he only remembered reading it, "I know all the words, but it looks too awkward, it hurts my eyes. I don't like reading books, I usually listen to them."

[Host, you are worthy of being the widowed king. You don't even know how to make up a story. Don't you say that doing business is cheating? ]

Shen Xuan: [One lie requires countless lies to cover it up, it's not sincere, I hope she knows the real me. Although the business is a scam, the things I bring out are real, they just fall for it, I'm just giving them the right medicine.]

"Miss Lin, are you interested in listening to stories?" Shen Xuan saw that Ah Qi's face was full of curiosity, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He knew that she could accept such a chat, so he took a step forward and said, "The storyteller at 'Youjian Teahouse' is the best. If you are interested, Miss Lin can go and listen."

"Then I'll go and listen right away. Is it available now?" asked A'rui.

Shen Xuan spoke faster than his brain: "Yes, why don't we go together?"

After saying that, he became a little worried, wondering if it would be bad.

I just heard her say, "Okay."

[Perhaps I will find a way out of being single. She agreed.] Shen Xuan was in a good mood.

System: [Host, please take it easy, otherwise others might think she is shameless and gossip about her.]

[Who?] Shen Xuan was unhappy, [If anyone dares to say that, I will release the dog.]

Then he had some concerns again. This society is indeed not friendly. Even if he has a relationship, people will call him shameless. He became depressed again.

When Ah Qi heard this, he felt a little amused.

But they were not familiar with each other yet, and she couldn't tell him it was nothing, so she just let him worry for now.
