Chapter 98 Please help me
Shen Linchuan and Old Madam Shen both changed their expressions.
Song Shiwei, in keeping with the principle of performing a full role, still called out, "Mrs. Wu."
Mrs. Wu reached out her hand to stop her, and said firmly: "Miss Song, you should go and have some tea. You have nothing to do here."
The old woman following behind her extended her hand in a gesture of invitation.
Song Shiwei frowned, looked at Shen Linchuan apologetically, then turned and walked out.
After leaving the hospital, she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.
Jingque also felt very happy. She asked, "Miss, if Shen Linchuan is caught, what will be the final sentence?"
Song Shiwei said: "Shen Linchuan didn't commit a serious crime. At most, he will be beaten with a stick and fined some money."
"That's what he deserves. I didn't expect the Shen family would help him to meet Song Mingzhu in private. It really broadened my horizons."
Jingque had never seen such a thing before. The Shen family was rotten to the core.
I just hope that the young lady can escape from this filthy Shen family as soon as possible.
Half an hour later, people from the Dali Temple arrived.
Han Qingyan personally took people to take Shen Linchuan, Old Madam Shen, and Shen Suyun to the Dali Temple.
After the onlookers heard what had happened, word spread quickly, and soon the story spread throughout the capital.
And just as Song Shiwei had expected, Shen Linchuan was punished with thirty lashes of the cane because he sneaked into Baiyun Temple to meet with others secretly, offended Mrs. Wu, and broke the rules of Baiyun Temple.
Old Madam Shen and Shen Suyun, who helped Shen Linchuan enter Baiyun Temple, were not spared either. They were each beaten with five boards.
The three of them were thrown out of the Dali Temple together. The onlookers were filled with indignation, and all the rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs were thrown towards them.
Since then, the Shen family's reputation in the capital has been completely ruined.
Even students of Jinke School jointly wrote a letter requesting the cancellation of Shen Linchuan's qualification for the imperial examination.
Upon hearing the news, Shen Linchuan wrote a letter and had someone give it to Zhao Huaijin despite his serious injuries.
However, this letter fell on deaf ears.
In order not to delay the imperial examination, Shen Linzhou hired the best doctor and used the best medicine, and finally healed Shen Linchuan's injury on the eve of the imperial examination.
He couldn't wait to go out and waited in Yangliu Lane in the south of the city for three days, and finally waited for the person he wanted to see.
Seeing the person coming, Shen Linchuan stood up hurriedly and said, "I wrote to you, why didn't you reply to me?"
Zhao Huaijin deliberately did not reply to his letter because he had become so powerful that he dared to have an affair with Song Mingzhu behind his back.
He didn't believe that Shen Linchuan had any feelings for Song Mingzhu. He seduced Song Mingzhu just to leave a way out for himself.
In this way, even if he fails to pass the imperial examination, he can still be the son-in-law of the Marquis of Cheng'en.
"Haven't you found someone else and don't need me anymore?"
Zhao Huaijin sat down at the table. He snorted and said, "Why, you think of me again now?"
Shen Linchuan walked up to him and said, "I seduced Song Mingzhu all for you.
Song Shiwei is not favored by Cheng Enbo, and marrying her will be of no help to our plan. But Song Mingzhu is different, she is the apple of Cheng Enbo's eye.
Didn’t you say before that Lord Cheng En would not marry his precious daughter to me?
Therefore, I can only marry Song Mingzhu if I destroy her innocence."
Zhao Huaijin sneered: "You have ruined Song Mingzhu's innocence, but has Cheng Enbo relented? Has he agreed to marry his daughter to you?
That old man would rather send his daughter to Baiyun Temple to become a nun than give you the chance, and yet you are still dreaming of a great life here."
“That’s because I’m not in high school yet.”
Shen Linchuan stared at him solemnly and said, "Once I graduate from high school, Uncle Cheng En will definitely marry Song Mingzhu to me.
If you want to get the Song family's property, you must help me."
Zhao Huaijin raised his head to look at him: "If I help you, who knows if you will repay my kindness with hatred and stab me in the back?
After all, this isn't the first time you've tried to escape from my control.
If you want to get the huge fortune of Lord Cheng En, you are not the only one who can help you. Why should I help you?"
There was a hint of panic in Shen Linchuan's eyes. In fact, he didn't have to come to see Zhao Huaijin.
He holds a huge secret in his hand, and this secret is enough to exchange for wealth and glory.
But this secret may not only bring wealth, but also the tragedy of destroying the whole family.
He didn't dare to gamble. Unless he was really desperate, he would not play his last card.
"What will it take for you to help me?"
Shen Linchuan lowered his head and softened his tone.
Zhao Huaijin curled his lips, poured himself a glass of wine and said, "I knew from the beginning that you were not willing.
If I give you the chance, you will kill me without hesitation. Since you are a wolf cub that you can't tame, why should I keep you around any longer?"
What he wanted was taming, just like taming a wild beast, to break all the pride in Shen Linchuan, so that he would no longer have any delusions and would have to submit obediently.
But Shen Linchuan wanted to break free from his control, which made him very unhappy.
Shen Linchuan clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves, and finally he bent his knees, bent his proud bones and knelt in front of Zhao Huaijin and said: "The imperial examination is my only chance. If I am disqualified, I will never be able to stand out again."
He looked up at Zhao Huaijin and begged with forbearance: "Please help me."
Zhao Huaijin curled his lips, pinched Shen Linchuan's chin and said, "If you had been obedient, how could you have caused so much trouble?
In the end, not only did he fail to fly out of my palm, but he also brought disgrace upon himself and was ridiculed by others.
Shen Linchuan, ah Shen Linchuan, I overestimated you after all."
He chuckled and said, "Don't worry, your qualification for the examination has not been revoked.
Considering our friendship over the years, I can't let you miss this opportunity.
After receiving your letter, I went to find my father and asked him to suppress the matter and save your qualification for the imperial examination."
Shen Linchuan was overjoyed when he heard this. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you."
"Ugh."
Zhao Huaijin raised the last syllable of his voice, looked at him with a smile and said, "You know what I want is not insincere thanks, not to mention that I brought you a gift."
As he spoke, he took something out of his pocket and handed it to Shen Linchuan, saying, "Look, what is this?"
Shen Linchuan looked at the scroll handed to him by Zhao Huaijin. He reached out to take it and opened it.
After just one glance, he was so shocked that he closed the scroll and asked in shock, "Is this... the exam question for this year?"
Zhao Huaijin raised his eyebrows: "How about this gift? Do you like it?"
Shen Linchuan looked at the thing in his hand in disbelief and said, "Leaking the examination questions is a capital crime. Are you really not afraid?"
Zhao Huaijin said: "Isn't it because of you that I do this?
Your reputation is ruined now. If you can't win the first place in the imperial examination and turn the tide, you really won't have the chance to enter the government."
He leaned close to Shen Linchuan's ear and asked with a malicious smile: "Since I risked my life for you, shouldn't you repay me well?"
