Chapter 238 Shen Mozhu
Song Qingci drank almost all of the chicken soup before he said, "You came back at this time, is there any result from the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion?"
Shan Li nodded and took out a few deeds from his lapel, "These are the land deeds and house deeds of three manors in the suburbs of Beijing. I have already gone to the government office to handle the transfer documents. Now these three manors belong to you."
After saying that, he placed the deeds on the table and pushed them in front of Song Qingci.
"Belongs to me?!" Song Qingci pointed at himself and asked.
"Yes, it was transferred to your name." Shan Li said as it should be.
"I thought it was transferred to the General's Mansion." Song Qingci really thought so.
"You fought for this, so it's yours." Shan Li felt that the reason why these three manors existed was entirely because of A Ci.
If it were him, he would not have thought of asking for Zhuangzi.
"Thank you very much." Song Qingci did not refuse and directly put the contracts into the space.
"You are here for more than just giving me the deed, right?"
"Well, the guy from last night is awake. Do you want to go and see him together?" Shan Li invited.
"Okay, wait for me for a moment. I'll change my clothes before going."
After saying that, Song Qingci walked behind the screen, picked up the clothes hanging on the screen and put them on.
Her figure was reflected through the screen.
Shan Li stared at the figure, a little dazed.
He quickly looked away only when Song Qingci came out after changing his clothes.
"Let's go." Song Qingci was completely unaware of Shan Li's awkwardness and walked ahead on his own.
When he arrived at the study, Song Qingci realized that Feng Si had been taking care of someone.
The person on the couch had already woken up, and judging by his appearance, he was much better than last night.
At least he looked like a living person now, but his face was still a little horrible. Song Qingci thought that even if his biological mother came, she might not recognize that this was her child after seeing such a scarred face.
When the man saw someone coming into the room, he visibly flinched.
After looking at it carefully, he calmed down.
"You saved me?!"
The man's voice was hoarse, with traces of surviving a disaster.
"Yes. For the time being, we saved you." Song Qingci found a seat and sat down.
Shan Li sat next to her.
Feng Si tactfully retreated and closed the door.
"Thank you..."
"Don't thank me yet." Song Qingci interrupted what he wanted to say, "We only saved you temporarily. As for whether to save you in the future, it depends on you."
The man was obviously stunned for a moment, his eyes full of confusion.
"Who are you?" Song Qingci asked directly.
''Shen Mozhu.''
"Shen Mozhu?" Song Qingci whispered the name softly.
This name sounds so familiar, I seem to have heard it somewhere before.
Shan Li was one step faster than her, "Are you Shen Mozhu?"
"Yes!" Shen Mozhu nodded, but soon shook his head again.
"I remember now! The third place winner of this year's imperial examination is also called Shen Mozhu!" Song Qingci finally reacted.
She looked carefully at the person on the couch and asked, "Are you the third place winner?!"
Isn't it said that the best-looking one is the third place winner? Song Qingci really doesn't think this face can be described as good-looking.
"I used to be Shen Mozhu, but," he raised his hand and wanted to touch his own face, but the moment he touched it, it hurt so much that he had to stop.
"But I am not now." Shen Mozhu's words were full of despair, which shocked everyone who heard it.
His words were confusing, but Song Qingci understood them immediately.
"You mean, someone has impersonated you?"
Shen Mozhu nodded.
Song Qingci instantly perked up.
Imperial examination, impersonation.
These two words are of great significance no matter which dynasty or era they are from.
"Come on, come on, tell me what's going on! Moreover, the person who chased you yesterday was from Yongchang Marquis Mansion. Did Yongchang Marquis Mansion also get involved in your impersonation?!"
When mentioning Yongchang Marquis Mansion, Shen Mozhu's body trembled noticeably.
This is the body's conditioned reflex.
It seems that Shen Mozhu really suffered a lot in Yongchang Marquis Mansion.
"Who are you?" Shen Mozhu did not answer Song Qingci's question directly, but asked about their identities first.
From the way they were dressed and the furnishings in the house, one could tell that this family was of high status.
But how about comparing it with the Yongchang Marquis Mansion?
Can they compare?
If one's status is just average, then saying certain things will bring disaster.
Someone carefully saved him, he couldn't repay kindness with evil and bring trouble to the benefactor's family.
"Don't worry, just tell me about your business. As for the rest, you don't have to think too much. We still have the ability to protect ourselves." Shan Li saw through Shen Mozhu's hesitation.
I also felt a little more favorable towards him.
If he was the kind of person who only wanted to take advantage of the situation to seek revenge, then all of A Ci’s good medicines would have been wasted.
Shen Mozhu looked back and forth at Shan Li several times before he made up his mind and said, "My name is Shen Mozhu. I'm originally from Taoyuan County, Bianzhou. I'm a candidate for this special examination..."
It turned out that after Shen Mozhu learned the news that there would be an imperial examination this year, he hurried to the capital from his hometown.
Although Bianzhou is far from the capital, taking the water route can save a lot of time.
On the boat he was on were several students who were going to the capital to take the imperial examination.
All the way north, on the relatively closed ship, the students naturally got to know each other.
In order to kill the boring time on the ship, these fellow students often gathered together to discuss academic matters.
In this way, our relationship became closer and closer.
After arriving in the capital, everyone was not in a hurry to separate, but instead chose to stay in the same inn.
"You mean, you were staying in the same room with a man named Shen Qingshan?" Song Qingci asked.
Shen Mozhu nodded, "Shen Qingshan and I are from the same hometown and happen to have the same last name. We all think this is fate. In order to save some expenses, we stayed in the same guest room. Shen Qingshan and I each paid half of the rent."
"What happened next?" Song Qingci asked.
