Chapter 2456: Chapter 47: Abuse of Power for Personal Gain
The little girl said angrily, "Twice now. This time I even brought the painting with me, yet still, the bad guys didn’t give in completely."
Doudou corrected, "It’s ’convinced both in heart and mouth.’"
Huohuo glanced at him, not wanting to remind him that he had said this phrase before as well.
Sure enough, Mianmian waved her hand, "That’s not important."
The important thing is, she failed again and still couldn’t let that person see her artwork.
Oh right...
Mianmian looked up, "Mother, my little rabbit."
Shu Yu and Xiao Ruojun exchanged a glance, the latter’s mouth twitching as she listened. Well, that’s enough, Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng’s child is indeed extraordinary.
As parents, they are so bold, and their daughter is the same.
Shu Yu patted Mianmian’s hair, "Your little rabbit is with your Senior Brother Pan."
Speaking of which, Pan Yi left quite a while ago, and it’s unclear where he ran off to.
Shu Yu pondered for a moment, then looked up and said to Ying Xi, "Go and see if you can find it. If possible, bring Mianmian’s bag back, and take it to the inn first."
However, Ying Xi was reluctant, "But miss, you here..." There are three children here.
If only Xia Yan were here, but unfortunately, he always follows the young master, and with the young master entering the palace, it’s hard to be without someone by his side.
Xiao Ruojun laughed, "Don’t worry, the guards from my residence are not to be underestimated."
"Go ahead." Shu Yu nodded to her, "There are students from Zhenglu Academy outside blocking the way. Besides, those here are all scholars, they might have been a bit caught up at first, going with the flow, but they should have calmed down by now. They are most mindful of rules, and won’t just barge in. After all, it’s just a painting by Mr. Shanju."
Ying Xi nodded.
However, just as she was about to go out, the door of the private room was knocked.
She opened the door and saw Pan Yi standing at the entrance, looking dejected, with his clothes and hair a bit messy, as if he had gone through a struggle.
Shu Yu looked at him in surprise, "Were you robbed?"
Pan Yi nodded, then quickly shook his head, and then explained with a bitter face, "At first, the teahouse’s guards protected me and ran, twisting and turning, saying they were taking me to shake off the people behind us, but they led me straight to the teahouse boss."
"Prince Zheng?"
"Yes, I ended up in Prince Zheng’s study, and he said he wanted to see Mr. Shanju’s painting, and then..."
Shu Yu held her forehead, it’s natural that a small scholar like Pan Yi can’t resist a powerful prince like Prince Zheng, especially since it’s Prince Zheng’s territory, and his people surround him.
"Is the bag and painting all with Prince Zheng?"
Pan Yi nodded, "Yes, Prince Zheng said he’s admired Mr. Shanju for a long time and wants to appreciate Mr. Shanju’s artwork. If there’s a chance to chat with Mr. Shanju, it would be a great fortune. There are too many students outside, the painting is safe with him, and he will keep it well for now."
Shu Yu chuckled dryly; this is called helping? This is called using public office for private gain.
Xiao Ruojun stood up and said, "I’ll go find Prince Zheng. My husband and Prince Zheng are friends, so I don’t think he will trouble us."
"No need, the items are indeed safe with Prince Zheng now. Let’s go first and wait until Yun returns tonight, and let him retrieve it himself."
It’s obvious Prince Zheng wants to connect with Meng Yunzheng. Since he’s a friend of Xiang Weinan, he probably isn’t a bad person either.
"Let’s go."
Shu Yu picked up Mianmian and stood up, allowing Pan Yi and others to stay here, as there is still a lecture in the afternoon. She then took the children back to their accommodation first.
