Chapter 1880: Chapter 1880: Chen Qiu Wants Meng Yunzheng’s Help

Xun Sheng sighed helplessly, ”Miss Chen, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. The Wen’an County Lord already has a personal vendetta against your father, and now with what happened... I’m just a mere scholar, at most holding the title of Scholar, there’s really nothing I can do.”

He indeed knew some classmates with connections, but if Chen Bing really committed a crime, he wouldn’t let others be troubled.

Chen Qiu raised her head, ”No, Brother Xun, you have a way.”

Xun Sheng was puzzled himself, ”What way do I have?”

”It’s, it’s that Young Master Meng,” Chen Qiu said, ”Aren’t you acquainted with Young Master Meng? Didn’t you say he’s now helping Lord Qi with his work and is highly regarded by him? It’s Lord Qi who will be hearing the case at the government office. You, you just need to ask someone to tell Young Master Meng to say a few words to the Lord on our behalf.”

Chen Qiu had accidentally seen Xun Sheng talking with Meng Yunzheng. At that time, Meng Yunzheng was leading a squad out of the government office, looking imposing, clearly of some distinguished status.

Unexpectedly, Xun Sheng turned out to know Meng Yunzheng. After they met at the office gate, they exchanged a few words.

From their demeanor, it was obvious that they were old acquaintances.

Later, Chen Qiu asked Xun Sheng about it. Xun Sheng only commented with admiration, ”He, just like me, passed the local scholar’s examination last year, but I ranked third, while he was the Top Scorer. He’s talented, now a popular figure around Lord Qi, and has a promising future ahead.”

At that moment, there was a hint of envy in Xun Sheng’s eyes.

Chen Qiu, however, was contemplating that if that Scholar Meng had a bright future, then Xun Sheng, who had a good relationship with him, surely wouldn’t fare badly either. After all, they were fellow students.

Later, she even mentioned it to her father Chen Bing, saying that she must have chosen the right man this time.

Chen Bing was very pleased and even gave her some money, telling her not to be stingy while going out, and to buy more cosmetics and adorn herself.

Thus, when Chen Bing was in trouble, he quickly thought of the popular figure around Lord Qi.

This is why Chen Qiu sought out Xun Sheng.

Little did she know, after listening to her, Xun Sheng was momentarily stunned, his expression particularly complex.

Chen Qiu thought he was unwilling, and her expression became all the more pitiful, ”Brother Xun, I beg you, just a few words, just mention it in front of Young Master Meng.”

A classmate, seeing Xun Sheng’s soft-hearted look, couldn’t help but nudge him—no way, such connections should be used at crucial times, definitely not wasted here.

Xun Sheng rubbed his temple and sighed heavily again, saying to Chen Qiu, ”Miss Chen, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but... but that Young Master Meng is the fiancé of the Wen’an County Lord.”

Classmate, ”...” Damn, Chen Bing is really doomed.

Chen Qiu’s steps halted, looking incredulously at Xun Sheng, ”What did you say?!”

”The Wen’an County Lord is Young Master Meng’s fiancée. That’s why I know the county magistrate.”

Chen Qiu’s eyes were vacant, just staring at the team moving further and further away.

When Xun Sheng looked at Chen Qiu again, his eyes were filled with pity and helplessness, ”Miss Chen, please calm down. Though the relationship between Young Master Meng and the Wen’an County Lord is deep, from what I know, Young Master Meng is a fair and honest person who wouldn’t cover up or shield anyone. So rest assured, as long as your father hasn’t done anything wrong, I believe he will be fine.”

The classmate glanced at him, really? Are you sure?
