Chu Jingwu stuck out his tongue and decided not to tell Shen Chen about this.
This second brother is a stubborn person. He believes that Lin San Shao is his brother and believes that he will not do anything to harm him. But it is precisely because of this that he is so close to his second brother.
After figuring this out, he let go of his horse and walked side by side with Shen Chen: "I know, I know, second brother, you have a deep relationship with her, I was just imagining, is this okay?"
Shen Chen ignored him. When he arrived at Prince Zheng's Mansion, he handed the horse to the doorman and walked into the flower hall.
It was not convenient for him to enter the backyard. After all, only the princess was there now. The situation was different from that of the Wei family, so he waited in the flower hall outside.
Soon Nanny Wang came out. When she saw him, she immediately smiled and said, "Is it the Marquis here? Our girl is busy taking care of the young master. Please wait a moment."
Shen Chen smiled and was about to speak when he heard a voice from inside. He looked up and saw Wei An coming out with a baby in his arms.
Chu Jingwu was originally looking at a painting of eight horses hanging in the flower hall with his hands behind his back. When he heard the noise and turned around, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Is this the young master?" When he realized what was happening, he was one step faster than Shen Chen. He came close to Wei An, stretched out his hand to tease the little guy who was blowing bubbles with his eyes open, and said with a smile on his face: "They say he was born with difficulty, but now I see that he is so strong."
He was not wrong when he said he was strong.
Although it was a little difficult when he came out of the womb, because Old Madam Wei sent Nanny Hua and others to take care of his diet personally, and the old doctor was there to try to use mild prescriptions for dietary supplements, the little prince grew up to be very cute, with chubby all over his body, and his arms were like lotus roots, round and plump, so round that people couldn't help but want to pinch them when they saw them.
Wei An was unusually gentle, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's very heavy..."
Yuqing coughed beside her and reminded her helplessly: "Girl, the old lady and the nanny said that you can't say such things in front of children... Otherwise, they will not like to eat from now on..."
Wei An was a little embarrassed. Although she had given birth to a child in her previous life, she had never raised a child and didn't know many things.
Now, hearing Yuqing's reminder, his ears turned red.
Shen Chen smiled when he saw this, even his eyes were full of smiles, and he reached out his hand to share her burden: "I'll hug you too, to see if you're really heavy."
He reached out to take it, his movements gentle and careful, and couldn't help but say: "It's really a bit heavy... this little fat guy..."
I just said that you shouldn’t say the word “fat” in front of children, and here it comes up again.
Nanny Wang couldn't help but shake her head. These young people just had no taboos.
Wei An stretched out his hand and gently pinched the child's face, then looked at Shen Chen: "Mammy said that he is growing fast, and the little clothes have to be remade by the needlework master."
Shen Chen pulled his jade pendant from his waist and gently placed it in the child's swaddling clothes. Hearing this, he couldn't help but laugh: "That's good. Grow up quickly and protect your sister."
The jade pendant he gave was extremely valuable. It was top-grade mutton-fat jade without a trace of impurities. It glowed transparently in the sunlight. The wet nurse next to him couldn't help but look at Wei An in surprise.
Even though he is my future brother-in-law, it is too expensive to give such a gift to a child.
Wei An didn't care. He smiled and handed the jade pendant to the waiting nurse for the child. He stood next to Shen Chen and said, "Why are you here? Didn't you say you were going to the Ministry of War today?"
He had to go to Shandong to quell the rebellion and report to the Ministry of War. There was a lot of things to do.
Shen Chen hummed: "I am going there, but I changed the time. I will go there tomorrow and come to take a look."
Seeing Shen Chen gave a gift, Chu Jingwu also took out a hollow round sachet carved from pure gold, scratched his head and said, "I didn't prepare anything before, so I'll just use this to play with."
He hasn't married yet, and there is no female elder in the mansion, so giving him gifts before was already a rare thing, and giving him things again now shows his closeness.
Wei An smiled and handed the baby to the nurse, asking her to take the baby away carefully. Then he asked Shen Chen, "Are you here to ask about Xue Changshi?"
Shen Chen hummed, and naturally followed Wei An to sit down beside her: "Did he say anything new?"
"No." Wei An's smile faded a little, but it was not surprising. He looked at him and said seriously: "He saw me, mocked me a few times, and then wanted to commit suicide."
Shen Chen frowned.
Wei An had already grasped Xue Changshi's lifeblood under Xuesong's instruction. What he cared about now was nothing more than his precious grandson.
But Xue Changshi did not accept this threat.
When people are in desperate situations, how can they not think about the next generation
Unless someone was threatening him with something he cared about more, otherwise, how could he have the heart to be so cruel to his grandson whom he loved so much
Xue Changshi gritted his teeth and refused to reveal anything, which only confirmed his suspicions.
There must be something behind the scenes that he is worried about, otherwise he would not even care about his own grandson.
Thinking of this, he turned around and glanced at Chu Jingwu out of the corner of his eye, sighing slightly in his heart.
If this matter is still related to the princess, he will definitely not be able to tolerate it any longer. If he continues to tolerate it, Wei An might lose his life at any time.
He thought he had done nothing to let Princess Linjiang down, but she always blamed him for her misfortunes.
He doesn't have many beloved ones for Princess Linjiang to torment like this. If Princess Linjiang doesn't stop, it will be too difficult for him to consider their past feelings.
Chu Jingwu didn't notice and was saying to Wei An, "If he wants to die, then don't let him die. Have someone watch him, don't let him sleep, don't give him water, and see how long he can hold on."
He had no idea how many scholars like this he had dealt with before, and he knew that they were indeed tough. But being tough is one thing. They might be able to withstand severe torture, but few people could stand not eating or sleeping. Even the toughest of bones would have to give in in the end.
Wei An shook his head: "No need, there is nothing useful to ask him, I will let my brother deal with him."
Xie Liangcheng
Chu Jingwu said in surprise: "Xie Liangcheng came back to the capital so soon? Is he okay?"
If he fell into the hands of Xue Changshi and others, he would probably be skinned alive if not killed. After all, Xue Changshi had a deep hatred for the Wei family and put all the blame on Wei An. Xie Liangcheng, who had a brother-sister relationship with Wei An, naturally became the best target for them to vent their anger. He had been abducted for so long, and no one knew what had happened to him.
Wei An's face gradually turned colder. He glanced at him and said, "I just arrived in the capital yesterday and just hired a doctor." (To be continued)
