Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 282 Complaint

Xu Yuan was not worried about the test results, so on the day the results were announced, she did not go to the Cultural Palace, but went to submit a letter of recommendation.

The letter of recommendation in her hand was not from the prince, but from Bei Yao.

This was the condition that Beiyao agreed to stay out of it.

It was almost as she thought. After she handed it in, Chen Shan secretly took a look at it. Only after he saw that it was indeed Bei Yao's recommendation letter did he leave.

Shortly after Chen Shan left, Cheng Xi also went to replace the recommendation letter.

When he handed Bei Yao's recommendation letter to Bei Yuan, Bei Yuan just sneered: "This Third Prince is really not a good person. He actually has this idea."

Cheng Xi said: "The Third Prince's behavior was indeed not upright, but can making a wish really predict the future?"

Cheng Xi was still a little confused.

Although he appreciates making wishes, he is also cautious.

Because making a wish came at such a coincidence.

Bei Yuan didn't take Cheng Xi's worry seriously. He just smiled and said, "Everyone has weaknesses, and Xu Yuan is no exception. His biggest weakness is his family. If you control Zhang Yue, you control Xu Yuan. It doesn't matter if he has second thoughts. He's just a scholar. Just kill him."

Bei Yuan's words were an understatement.

Cheng Xi did not dare to bring it up again, and only said: "Your Highness has made every possible plan, there will be no problem."

The rain continued for several days and still did not stop.

After making a wish and returning home, he folded his umbrella and waited in the yard.

Today is April 1st. After submitting the recommendation letter today, her name will be written on the list of people participating in the national examination.

She and the prince were officially tied together.

There are only two days left until Qingming Festival on April 4th.

She needs to be patient and wait.

If that doesn't work, she'll have to go alone.

When Wu Shiming came back at night, he saw Xu Yuan still sitting outside and asked, "Xu Yuan, why don't you go to bed?"

"The closer it gets to Qingming Festival, the more nervous I get. I can't sleep."

Xu Yuan supported his chin and told the truth.

She had too many things to worry about. Not only did she not sleep tonight, but she had not slept well every day since leaving Yueyuan Tower.

Every time, when I woke up in the middle of the night, I saw her being burned to death in a dream.

Then, it was Wei Chen's old face.

Xuyuan didn't dare to mention this matter to anyone and could only wait silently for the nightmare to go away.

"It'll be okay." Wu Shiming patted Xu Yuan's shoulder and comforted him softly.

"Everything has been arranged in the study. No matter what happens, it will not affect that day. I will keep an eye on this matter, don't worry."

Wu Shiming always looks nonchalant, but tonight he is very serious.

Xu Yuan knew that Wu Shiming was worried that she couldn't hold on, so she smiled and said, "I'm confident that you can handle the situation. I'm just afraid that I'll cause trouble for you."

"Then you really underestimate me. Now I am the money bag of the Geshu tribe. As long as it is not a capital crime, Geshu Khan will save me. Don't worry."

"Uh-huh."

Xuyuan nodded, thinking in his mind if there was anything missing from the whole thing.

Wu Shiming urged, "Hurry up and rest. The closer it gets to that time, the more you should rest. That way you will have energy. Do you understand?"

"I'll go rest now." Xu Yuan stood up and just as she reached the door, she paused and turned back and said, "By the way, I have one more thing to trouble you with."

Wu Shiming raised his eyebrows and said, "Just say it."

-

April is the time when pear blossoms are in full bloom.

After lunch, Wu Shiming went to the Dali Temple.

However, he wanted to beat the drum several times, but he backed off.

After going back and forth several times, Wu Shiming gritted his teeth and just picked up the drumstick to hit the drum when the door of the Dali Temple opened and a group of yamen runners came out in an orderly manner.

The leader was none other than Sun Wenjie.

The two men looked at each other, Wu Shiming immediately put down the drumstick, and Sun Wenjie's eyes lit up instantly.

He cleared his throat and said, "Wait a moment."

After saying that, he walked towards Wu Shiming, leaving behind a group of yamen runners who didn't know what to do.

Wu Shiming had met Sun Wenjie before, but the two were just nodding acquaintances.

His intuition told him that Sun Wenjie had something to tell him, and it was about making a wish.

When he saw Wu Shiming, Sun Wenjie suddenly felt like his broken heart had been saved. So, regardless of what the yamen runners thought, he took two steps at a time and walked up to Wu Shiming, whispering, "I know you are Xu Yuan's friend. Go back quickly and tell Xu Yuan to leave."

Wu Shiming rolled his eyes and asked tentatively, "Why is that?"

"Someone accused Xu Yuan of disguising herself as a man to take the national exam, which is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor."

Sun Wenjie lowered his voice and continued, "I have arranged for someone to go to Chengwang Mansion to report the news. You should quickly inform Xu Yuan to leave. I will find a way to delay time."

"Someone sued?" Wu Shiming was dumbfounded.

Sun Wenjie remembered that Wu Shiming had just held the drumstick, and immediately reacted, "Are you here to sue Xu Yuan as well?"

Wu Shiming nodded.

Sun Wenjie: “…”

After being speechless, Sun Wenjie hurriedly asked, "Is Xu Yuan really a woman dressed as a man?"

Wu Shiming nodded again.

Sun Wenjie was heartbroken.

For a moment, he didn't know whether he should feel sad that Xu Yuan was really a woman, or feel sad that Xu Yuan made the wrong friends.

When he received the report, Sun Wenjie did not believe that Xu Yuan was a woman disguised as a man. After all, who could dress up as a man for so long?

His intuition told him that this was the work of the Song family.

The purpose is to take action after Xu Yuan is imprisoned.

Xu Yuan was not given the opportunity to take the national examination and enter the court.

But now it seems... there are people behind the scenes fanning the flames.

As for Wu Shiming, Sun Wenjie looked at the man in front of him who had nowhere to put his hands, and asked in a low voice: "Is this what you mean by making a wish, or do you really want to harm her?"

If it is the former, he will help.

If it is the latter, Wu Shiming must be arrested immediately and interrogated.

"Of course I want to help make a wish." Wu Shiming said.

"Then I understand."

After Sun Wenjie finished speaking, he looked back and reminded, "Someone has already been here. Given the current situation, Xu Yuan will definitely go to jail. I will do my best to keep her safe. In order to avoid this matter involving you, you should leave quickly."

After saying this, Sun Wenjie went back and took the yamen runners to arrest people.

But this time, he had no intention of delaying time, so he acted extremely quickly.

As soon as Sun Wenjie left, the whole capital began to spread the news that Xu Yuan disguised herself as a man to take the national examination.

By the time Sun Wenjie arrived, the courtyard where the wish was made was already full of people watching the fun.

Seeing Xu Yuan's calm appearance, Sun Wenjie breathed a sigh of relief, and then said seriously: "Xu Yuan, someone reported that you disguised yourself as a man to take the national exam and deceived the emperor. You are now being detained. Do you have any objections?"

Xu Yuan stood up and said slowly, "Let's go."
