Chapter 192: Sacrificing Too Much for Prince Cao Shen
The court was dismissed, and for Ying Yuan, that meant it was time to go home from get off work.

Although Ying Yuan naturally felt very unhappy about not having worked for two days and suddenly having to get up early to go to work.

But anyway, being able to see Chunyu Yue vomiting blood in the court while at work made Ying Yuan feel a little happy.

Although, due to Fusu's face, he was unable to pin Chunyu Yue down and give him a good beating.

But... for someone like Chunyu Yue, becoming the first person in history to be deducted from his salary and fined and to have his family assets wiped out might be more painful for him than being beaten!
After all, he is different from other officials.

At least in terms of his official position, Chunyu Yue really didn't get any benefits except for the salary.

Other officials, because they hold power, find ways to make money even if they cannot embezzle or accept bribes.

After all, if I don't take any action myself, I can just let my family or my mother's family go around in circles. It's not a big deal.

This is what is called the realization of rights.

But...what about Chunyu Yue?
He is quite famous and has a great reputation among scholars.

But so what?
PhD!

The Master's Teacher!

These two positions sound good.

But in reality, this is just a consultant position with no power at all, and is even worse than a minor clerk in the government office.

At least a minor official can have the final say on the street.

But he can't.

You can't order anyone around, at least not by relying on your power.

That so-called monetization of rights is nonsense.

After all, you don't even have the rights.

The Chunyu family was indeed a large family, with fields, tenants, products, and so on.

However, although those outputs can generate some income, Chunyu family’s expenses are also high.

After all, the Chunyu family is very particular about pomp and circumstance.

This has a lot of pomp and rules, which brings with it all kinds of expenses.

So, the Chunyu family did have some property, but the cash, or floating assets, was really not much.

This time, Ying Yuan hit him directly in the lungs.

Humph, happy!
When he returned to his residence and just sat down, he heard Long Qie's muffled voice reminding him.

"Sir, Cao Shen wants to see you!"

"Hmm? Him?"

"Okay, let him in!"

Ying Yuan remembered that he had asked Cao Shen to help him make an appointment with Wang Xi, so why did he come here suddenly?
But, you'll know once you see it.

"I pay my respects to you, sir!"

Soon, Cao Shen walked into the hall and saluted Ying Yuan politely.

"Uh-huh?"

"Hahaha, no, haha, Cao Shen, what are you doing?"

"Hahaha, what are you doing, hahahaha, are you going on a blind date?"

When Ying Yuan looked up, he was about to say "no thanks" and then ask about the situation.

But when I suddenly looked up, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Cao Shen was completely stunned by Ying Yuan's words.

"Ah? What? Sir, what are you doing?"

"What? You have all this makeup on your face. I'm afraid your mother asked you to dress up for a blind date?"

"Otherwise, I really can't think of any reason for you to put on all this makeup!"

While laughing wildly, Ying Yuan finally stated his "guess"!
But just after he finished speaking, Cao Shen let out a strange cry, then quickly picked up his sleeves and started wiping his face.

Then, he spread out his sleeves and saw that it was indeed a sea of ​​colorful flowers! "Hahahaha, Cao Shen, have you developed a new hobby? Hahahahaha..."

Ying Yuan laughed so happily and heartily!

This made Cao Shen feel extremely aggrieved. He put down his hands and looked at Ying Yuan with a face full of grievance and slightly red eyes.

"Sir, what you said is true. Isn't it for you that I do this?"

Cao Shen simply stopped hiding it and stated it clearly.

"You simply tell me to help you make an appointment with the noble lady of the Wang family, so I have to run errands for you, right?"

"But when I went to Wang's house today, I found the door was closed and they wouldn't see any guests at all!"

"So, I can only disguise myself and sneak in to help you pass a message to the noble lady of the Wang family!"

"As a result, as soon as I entered, I ran into General Wang who was training himself!"

"Sir, you don't know!"

"A 60-jin stone lock is as light as a feather in the hands of the old general. It's so easy to throw it up and down!"

"I had no choice but to reveal my identity and my intention to leave."

"As a result, I was almost killed on the spot by General Wang with a stone lock!"

When Cao Shen said this, it seemed that he could still remember the fear of the stone lock flying up and down in front of his eyes, and he could not help but shiver again.

"After escaping from the Wang family, I have always been thinking about what you entrusted to me."

"Therefore, I had to find another way. I bought a set of clothes from the maid, dressed up again and pretended to be a woman before I could sneak in. In the end, I lived up to your trust!"

At this point, Cao Shen finally explained why he had been in such a miserable state before.

Originally, he thought that after this explanation, the young master would be able to understand his hard work and praise him.

Unexpectedly, Ying Yuan was stunned at first, and then... he laughed even more crazily!

My goodness, he was laughing so hard that he slammed the table!
Ying Yuan really didn't expect that a "talented prime minister" like Cao Shen would have such a dark history.

Women's clothing?

Hahahaha...

However, it is indeed hard work for this guy.

You know, these days people are very particular about status, etiquette and rules.

In later times, if an ordinary person wore women's clothing, it might be seen as someone being played a prank, or as someone losing a bet and just throwing away the jar.

Most people just watch and laugh at the funny joke.

But in this era, it can't be explained away by just a prank.

That is definitely a top-level humiliation.

It was also thanks to Cao Shen's background that he grew up on the streets of a small county town.

If they were people from wealthy families, they would never do this even if they were beaten to death.

Even if they are forced to do it, they may turn hostile on the spot.

So, on the one hand, Ying Yuan laughed wildly about Cao Shen's dressing as a woman, and on the other hand, he was happy that he could find such a subordinate who was willing to sacrifice himself for his own interests.

Cao Shen saw his master laughing wildly, but he didn't feel humiliated.

Because as they get to know their young master more and more, they have discovered that their young master really has this kind of mischievous personality.

Only with his own people would the young master be so unrestrained. He would not need to hide his temperament or worry about those superficial rules.

It seems that I am one step closer to my goal of becoming the young master's right-hand man.

Thinking of this, Cao Shen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Well, it seems that this women's clothing was not in vain.

It turns out that you still trust me!

Come on, Cao Shen, you are not much worse than that guy Xiao He!
