As the Third Master was speaking, Feicui knocked on the door cautiously and then reported to Old Madam Wei through the door: "Madam, the Seventh Miss is here. Top 23S. Updates fastest"
Mrs. Wei smiled slightly. When Wei An came in, she waved for her to sit next to her and asked her, "What's going on?"
Tan Xi came back from Jingxi. Wei An did not let Tan Xi come to Wei's house, but went to Lin Hai's house to meet Tan Xi.
Wei An did not answer. He glanced at the Third Master and Shen Chen and asked, "Did something happen again?"
The third master nodded and repeated what he had said before, and then added: "Now that things have become like this, everyone is at a loss and doesn't know what to do next."
Wei An went to see Shen Chen, and seeing that Shen Chen was also looking at him, he said something irrelevant: "I'm afraid that Concubine Shu is also very annoyed with Concubine De."
Otherwise, she wouldn't have deliberately sent Concubine De to trouble Concubine Peng when Concubine De was at the height of her popularity. It wasn't that she couldn't see which direction the wind was blowing, but that she saw the direction of the wind too clearly.
It must be because Concubine Peng De was too ruthless and even started to get her hands on Young Master Lin, which completely infuriated Concubine Shu, and she really intended to leave no room for her at all.
Shen Chen hummed, knowing that Wei An always draws inferences from one instance, and smiled, looking at her with a doting face: "Yes, the news sent by the secret agent was mostly sent out by Concubine Lin Shu. Fortunately, she is close to the emperor, and she can see many things more clearly than us. She pointed out a clear path for us. The more trouble Concubine De makes today, the better." He turned his head and looked at the Third Master: "Third Master, don't worry, just do what you need to do, it won't affect you."
When he said this, he frowned again and reminded solemnly: "But there is one thing I must remind you of."
The Third Master knew Shen Chen's ability. When Shen Chen said this, he immediately became serious and said, "My Lord, please speak."
"During this period, Third Master and Second Master, please stay at home as much as possible. Unless it is necessary, it is best not to go to any banquets. You know, now that Lord Qin has been reprimanded, Concubine De will probably recruit many people. And getting involved in these things is not a good thing anyway." Shen Chen did not smile, his expression was serious: "Such a big pie, naturally someone will want to take a bite, but if you get even a little bit of it, it will be hard to explain in the future."
Old Mrs. Wei couldn't help but feel her hair stand on end.
She actually forgot this. Those people are good at playing tricks. Concubine De might really try to lure them to the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion - after all, there are the Fifth Brother and Prince Zheng who are about to return.
She immediately looked at the Third Master and warned him, "Third Master, you must not be confused. I'm not just talking about you. After all, recently there have been people who want to let the Crown Prince ascend the throne first. In the face of wealth and honor, everyone bows down. Who knows, there may be people around you who want to drag you down with them."
The third master was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly stood up and promised, "Don't worry, mother. I know what's going on and I won't dare to do anything wrong."
Old Mrs. Wei leaned on the couch and sighed on the pillow. She waited until the third lady came to say that the meal was ready before she forced herself to go out and have a meal.
Shen Chen took the opportunity to sit in the garden with Wei An after dinner and asked her, "Is there something you can't tell the old lady? You seem to be restless."
Wei An was walking beside Shen Chen, and smiled when he heard him ask, "I can't hide anything from you. Tan Xi came back and said that the eldest brother's situation is very difficult, and the information obtained from outside the pass is very limited. The only useful and recent news is that they all said that they saw him going to the Tatars."
"There is news from inside the pass." Shen Chen stopped and said, "Don't worry too much. I found some clues here. I mentioned it to you last time. Mr. Xue from Chu Jingxing..."
Wei An frowned: "Mr. Xue?"
"It has been confirmed. Xuesong said that since three hundred thousand taels of tea is not a small amount, when escorting the goods, an escort saw these people. He showed them their portraits and they have confirmed that Mr. Xue is among them." Shen Chen looked at his feet calmly: "Since it is related to Mr. Xue, then the matter will not be difficult to handle. They want to deal with us from the beginning to the end. I have asked Xuesong to do it."
Wei An reacted: "They want to capture big brother with great fanfare because big brother works for us. They kidnapped big brother and took him to Tatar. I'm afraid they have something to do with someone in Tatar. They want to frame big brother as a Tatar spy and implicate us?"
Shen Chen couldn't help but laugh, and gently stretched out his hand to pinch Wei An's nose: "I just said one sentence, and you guessed it. I thought so too. Now the princess has been sent to the temple by my father for custody. Mr. Xue can't borrow any power from the Linjiang Palace, so there is not much he can do. It is too difficult to deal with us directly, so he has to start with the Xie family in a tactful way."
He held Wei An's hand and said, "Don't worry. It will take time for him to operate. I have asked Xuesong to handle it. It will be in time after we finish our work in the capital."
He has been holding Wei An's hand frequently recently, and his movements have become very skillful.
Wei An couldn't help but glare at him, but still answered him seriously: "Although we have to put on a show for His Majesty, we can't offend Concubine Peng De too much. A madman is desperate. She is now like Empress Fang, with no way back. She can do anything. You and Chu Jingwu, you'd better know your limits."
It's not true that there was no conflict at all with Concubine Peng De.
Because now Concubine Peng De has gone too far. If there is really no conflict or dissatisfaction, Emperor Longqing will become suspicious when he recalls it later.
Shen Chen agreed. He didn't know why he couldn't help laughing when he saw Wei An. No matter how tired and stressed he was, he felt healed instantly when he saw her. It was still the same now. He smiled sincerely and whispered to her, "I will probably be in the palace more often recently. In order not to cause trouble for you, I will rarely come here in the future. You should take good care of yourself. If there is anything, go to Phoenix Tower and tell Han Bo, he will notify me."
He paused, and then said, "After this period of time, our relationship will definitely be settled. At that time, I will take you with me every day. You can go wherever you want and do whatever you want."
Wei An felt his ears getting hot when he suddenly said something like this for no reason. He wrinkled his nose and looked at him: "What do you mean you can go wherever you want and do whatever you want?"
