"F * ck! Business at this time, I haven't eaten yet…Hmm? Chen Shimei?"
Duan Chen stood up and cursed. He could already smell the fragrance from the kitchen clearly.
However, this customer's name stunned Duan Chen for a moment. Presumably, no one was unfamiliar with this ungrateful villain who abandoned his wife.
With a customer, Little Seven stopped busying herself and walked out of the kitchen.
Duan Chen slowly stood up. After stretching his back, he sat opposite the trading table.
" I'm so hungry…" Duan Chen held his chin and looked at the door in a daze.
Hearing this, Little Seven said,"Do you want to eat something first?"?”
" I don't know." Duan Chen shook his head and said," Forget it. Let's settle the contract in front of us first."”
Chen Shimei came very slowly. She only appeared after half an hour. This made the anxious Duan Chen very angry.
However, he didn't say anything since he thought that the customer was God.
Chen Shi Mei was dressed in a red robe, and she was already dressed like a prince consort. Duan Chen glanced at her and roughly determined her needs.
"Please sit." Duan Chen stretched out his hand.
There was no smile on Chen Shimei's face. Her brows were tightly knitted. It was obvious that he had been having a hard time during this period of time. He didn't even want to talk.
After Chen Shimei sat down, Duan Chen glanced at Little Seven and gestured for her to pour a cup of refreshing tea for Chen Shimei. The latter didn't seem to be in a good state.
"Have some tea. There's no hurry." Duan Chen said with a smile.
Chen Shimei's face darkened. She picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp. Only then did she feel better.
"Pawnshop No. 8, right?" At this moment, he raised his head to look at Duan Chen and said.
Duan Chen nodded." That's right. This is Pawnshop No. 8. I'm the owner here. I can provide any pawning service for my customers. Please go ahead."”
Hearing this, Chen Shimei pondered for a moment and then said,"Can you save me?"
" You're right." Duan Chen's smile did not change.”
After organizing her words, Chen Shimei slowly said,""Bao Zheng of Kaifeng Prefecture has already caught my evidence. With his personality, I definitely won't be able to escape. Therefore, I hope you can save me.”
"How?" " What?" Duan Chen asked back," Do you want me to destroy the evidence, or…"
"No matter what method you use, just save me from Bao Zheng. I don't want to die!”Chen Shimei interrupted Duan Chen anxiously.
Duan Chen waved his hand, signaling Chen Shimei to calm down. He said,""Saving you is very simple. Send you to a safe place far away from Tokyo?”
"No!" Chen Shimei shook her head." I won't leave Tokyo. I want to continue being my son-in-law."”
Duan Chen fell into deep thought when he heard Chen Shimei's request.
It was easy to save Chen Shimei, but it would be much more difficult to make her continue to be the Prince Consort.
Duan Chen would have to spend a lot of effort on Bao Zheng alone. After all, he would not kill a fair and honest official just because of Chen Shimei.
" I can only do two things," Duan Chen said after a while." First, I can save you. Second, I can destroy all the evidence. The rest is up to you."”
Hearing this, Chen Shimei thought for a moment and nodded. This was good too. As long as Bao Zheng did not have concrete evidence, he could not do anything to him. Moreover, he had the support of the Princess and the Empress Dowager.
"What do you need me to do?" Chen Shimei asked.
Duan Chen had already thought about this, so he said,""I want your Civil Star Luck.”
Although Chen Shimei wasn't a good person, she was the top scorer in the exam. It was said that those who wrote well and were hired by the imperial court were all literary stars. Of course, that was just a rumor.
However, as a top scholar, there must be literary stars lingering around him. This was what Duan Chen wanted. Other than that, Chen Shimei didn't have anything else that could be pawned.
"What will happen to me if I lose my literary star luck?" Chen Shimei was stunned.”
"It means that you will lose all your literary talent and official fortune, and you can only work hard to be content with the status quo.”
Chen Shimei hesitated for a moment, then finally gritted her teeth and said,""Alright, it's better than dying in Bao Zheng's hands.”
"Have you decided?"
"I've decided!"
Duan Chen took the contract that Little Seven had drafted and placed it in front of Chen Shi Mei.""Sign it. Happy cooperation."
Chen Shimei did not hesitate. She picked up the pen and signed her name at the bottom.
