Because it was snowing heavily, she was wrapped in a thick red feather satin cloak with gold trim. Her face was hidden in the hood, so her expression could not be seen clearly, but Shen Chen could almost imagine her expression at the moment.
He was anxious but a little nervous. He smiled and took Wei An's hand. He naturally took off her snow-stained hat and asked her softly, "It's so late. How come you came so quickly?"
Lan He is a quick-talker, and when she heard Shen Chen's question, she started talking like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.
Old Mrs. Wei was worried and anxious about the Chen family's affairs, and she was in a bad mood these days. When Wei Jie offended Jiang Songwen, although no one in the family said anything, everyone's mood was actually not good. Even though Wei An knew something was going on, he was still a little uneasy, but he had to keep his spirits up to avoid people thinking that something really happened, which would cause trouble in the family.
He should have gone to bed early tonight, but there was no news from Wei Jie outside, and Han Bo did not come over either. Wei An could not sleep and did not ask anyone to help him wash up.
Lan He thought Shen Chen would not come over - Shen Chen had been very busy recently. The palace often issued orders to summon him to the palace, and he would stay for at least half a day each time.
No one knew whether Emperor Longqing would suddenly imprison him like he did to Chu Jingwu.
But she didn't expect Shen Chen to come so late. Lan He glanced at Yuqing with a smile in her eyes.
It's so late, one hasn't received any news but is still waiting, and the other has been busy all day but still insists on coming. They really understand each other.
I just hope they can continue like this for a long time.
When everyone left, Shen Chen couldn't help but ruffle Wei An's hair and asked her, "Did you guess that I would come?"
Wei An knew that Shen Chen was very capable, and she also knew that although it seemed that the Jiang family had the upper hand, Shen Chen was actually in control of the overall situation. However, she was always a little worried - Shen Chen died at the hands of his own people in his previous life, and she was always afraid that something unexpected would happen. The more frequently Emperor Longqing summoned Shen Chen, the more she feared that Emperor Longqing would do something crazy one day.
Only when she saw that Shen Chen was safe and sound did her heart finally settle down. Her heart tumbled back into her stomach, and even her voice unconsciously relaxed. She hummed, and let Shen Chen fix her hair without any resistance, like a docile cat.
I was not used to it before because I had never been so close to anyone, but when I was with Shen Chen, I don’t know why, I always felt that everything I did came naturally. Even though I was not used to it at first, I didn’t have any resistance afterwards.
Is this probably the kind of feeling of mutual affection that everyone always talked about in the previous life
Even when they are husband and wife, they don't just respect each other and follow rules.
She curled her eyes slyly: "I knew you would come. It's time for some news about my brother."
This feeling of not having to guess what her lover is thinking and being held in the arms of her lover's heart and soul is truly a wonderful thing. She has almost forgotten those sad days when she was always worried about gains and losses.
No wonder everyone likes to be with people who like them. It turns out that being with people you like is so much fun.
Shen Chen also smiled: "The Third Young Master came here. He personally went to Jiang Songwen to plead for mercy, but Jiang Songwen didn't give him any face. The Third Young Master said a lot of good things before he finally gave in."
When Wei An mentioned the Jiang family, his eyes slowly turned cold and hard, but after a moment he sneered again: "They take themselves too seriously."
But it’s better this way. The more arrogant they are, the more it shows that they really feel they have nothing to fear. This is the best.
She lowered her eyes coldly, thinking of the Chen family's affairs, and then said: "Sister Mianmian was also frightened this time. I feel a little sorry. Maybe I should have told her earlier that we had someone to protect them, so that they were frightened so much."
As soon as the Chen family proposed to leave Beijing, Wei Jie came over and told them that Shen Chen and Wei An had agreed to it after discussing it. Even if the Jiang family father and son did not take action, they would create some accidents themselves and then say that it was the Jiang family who did it.
Unexpectedly, Wei Rui, who was following the Chen family, soon sent back a message saying that someone was following the Chen family and seemed to have bad intentions.
As soon as the news came back, Shen Chen and Wei An guessed that either the Jiang family took action or someone related to the Jiang family was trying to please the Jiang family. They decided to wait and see, lure them into taking action, and thus obtain evidence of their crimes.
But in the end, the Chen family was still quite scared.
Shen Chen patted her shoulder and pursed his lips and said, "If I had told them at the beginning and left clues for them to find out, things might not have gone so smoothly. There's nothing we can do about it."
Wei An nodded, and then he heard Shen Chen say: "It's just that this time it was Chu Jingmeng and Chu Jingqian who did it, which is still a bit beyond my expectation. I thought they were not that powerful, and they dared to do this right after being released from prison."
"To establish a relationship with the Jiang family father and son, no matter how difficult it is, it has to be done. There is nothing strange about it." Wei An curled his lips: "People die for money and birds die for food. They have been trapped for so long. Jiang Zining released them. It is not difficult to understand that they want to grasp at straws to save their lives."
Of course, understanding is one thing, but fighting back is another.
Everyone has their own stance. Since Chu Jingmeng and Chu Jingqian have chosen to rely on Jiang Zining to deal with the Chen family, they will definitely have to deal with King Linjiang and Shen Chen in the future.
Wei An and Shen Chen have never been in the same camp with them. At this point, it is impossible to care about any feelings or indifferences.
It was snowing heavily outside, and soon a thick white blanket was laid on the ground. It looked particularly beautiful under the moonlight. Shen Chen put his hand on Wei An's head to block some snowflakes for her. He quietly turned his body to block Wei An behind him, and said, "After a while, I will take you to another village to soak in hot springs and race horses."
He knew that Wei An didn't really like to be confined to the backyard, and he was willing to give Wei An absolute freedom as much as possible within his ability.
Wei An finally realized what he meant. He turned around and looked at him. His face turned a little red, but he nodded naturally.
She really likes to hang out outside and has countless curiosity about the world, but she has not seen much scenery outside in her previous life. Unexpectedly, she met someone who is willing to indulge her and take her to appreciate the charm of the world. It turns out that people who love each other are each other's confidants. This statement is indeed true. (To be continued)
