Han Bo cried out while holding his head, and seeing that Shen Chen didn't take it seriously, he struggled to explain: "I'm telling the truth! Don't you really disbelieve me? Isn't it that the girl hates the girls who were close to her husband before? Qingshuang is not close to you, I know that, but the princess doesn't know! The princess only knows that you offended the princess for Qingshuang, and that you are the sister of your benefactor, and you have to keep her at home and treat her well. This is not a light matter, and it's not a heavy matter. It's troublesome!"
Shen Chen's steps hesitated and he looked at him suspiciously with a frown.
His understanding of girls' thoughts was indeed not accurate. After all, he had not interacted with girls much, so he could only figure out these things on his own.
If it is really as Han Bo said, then wouldn't he have violated a taboo
But when he thought about how Wei An's reaction was completely normal when he first told him about Qingshuang, and there was nothing wrong with it, he thought Han Bo was overthinking it and couldn't help but sneer, "Don't bring these things up. She's not such a petty person. I didn't hide anything from her. I told her these things because I was afraid she would misunderstand. She must know everything in her heart. How could she be angry about this?"
After all, Wei An felt uncomfortable because of Wei Yuyou's matter.
Wei Yuyou's husband was an unfaithful man, which made her feel sympathetic towards him.
Thinking of this, Shen Chen sneered and told Han Bo: "Go to the pawn shop."
Han Bo blinked and looked at him, somewhat curiously: "Why did you suddenly think of the pawnshop? Could it be that... there is something in the pawnshop that can make the princess happy?"
You can't blame him for thinking about Wei An for everything. After all, apart from official business, all other instructions from Shen Chen to him were about Wei An.
Shen Chen used his hand to hit him again and said, "Go tell them that from now on, anything from the Li family will be priced three points lower."
The pawn industry is all about haggling, and if the price is deliberately lowered by three points... then life will be difficult for the person pawning the items.
Han Bo understood immediately and responded quickly. This was Shen Chen's help to the Wei family. He knew in his heart that he was the one who did this before.
After Shen Chen finished giving his instructions, he thought about it for a while before asking, "My Lord, if the pawnshop lowers the price, will they get the money from other sources?"
Shen Chen sneered, "Where else can they get money? Their family has been almost ruined for a long time. That prodigal son has no other ability, but he is the best at ruining the family. The family has lost their land, so they can't just sell the house they live in now, right? Otherwise, they wouldn't be so eager to force their daughter-in-law to sell her dowry. Wait a minute, lower the price a little bit, they have no money, so they will naturally do something desperate."
The Li family can be considered a family of scholars, but the only one who has any prospects is the eldest master of the family. Once he dies, the people below him will naturally not be able to succeed.
Originally, this younger brother was considered to be a good student because he was forced by his father to study. He passed the imperial examination and was considered to have some prospects. However, after Uncle Li got into trouble and passed away, the family gradually could not support itself.
The youngest of the Li family is a soft-hearted person, and he follows the Xu family around all day long.
The reason why he treated Wei Yuyou like this was probably because of something the Xu family said to him.
That's why he dares to be so bold. Isn't it because he is a little smart and thinks that by offending the Wei family he can also please the Xu family, so he can sit still and act so arrogantly
Now their family still has some foundation. Uncle Li is capable, and the old man of the Li family also has some skills and has accumulated some reputation. That's why they can stand up to the Wei family and dare to show their disapproval to the Wei family.
But once these things are gone, they will have to go against the Wei family, and they cannot ask the Xu family for money openly, so they can only fall into the trap.
Shen Chen originally had no intention of taking any harsh measures. If they knew when to quit, they would have just divorced when the Wei family proposed it. Both sides could have been amicable and not torn their faces apart. They could have taken sides however they wanted and pursued their future however they wanted. There was no reason for him to take any action against them.
But now they are not only unwilling to release the person, but also dare to detain him to embarrass the Wei family and even affect Wei An. This is not a matter that can be resolved so easily.
He would make these people pay the price.
Han Bo understood immediately. When he heard Shen Chen say that he was going to find Xie Liangcheng, he smiled with his eyes curved: "It's not good for anyone to fall into the hands of him, but if he falls into the hands of Second Master Xie, I'm afraid he will really be skinned alive. Everyone knows how good Second Master Xie is to the princess!"
Shen Chen was not happy to hear this, so he frowned and kicked him.
He ran away grinning.
Wei An is a good master, he likes her very much. He also knows that his lord really likes the princess and hopes that the two of them can live a stable life and become married. So, no matter whether Shen Chen listens or not, he has to say some things.
But some people will have a hard time.
The Li family has indeed not had an easy time recently. People from the Wei family have been coming frequently. At first, it was the Third Madam of Wei who came under the pretext of visiting her daughter, and they tried their best to send her away. Then the Second Madam of Wei and the Third Madam of Wei came together, and they didn't care about the possibility of a quarrel and just blocked them away. In the end, they simply didn't even want to be friendly on the surface and directly said something like "a daughter who is married off is like water spilled out". They said that Wei Yuyou was now a member of the Li family, and that she would be extraordinary if she got mad. If this got out, people would say that the Li family didn't have a good impression of their daughters-in-law, and that she shouldn't be taken care of at home if she got mad. This made the Second Madam and the Third Madam very angry.
But although he looked impressive on the surface, he felt uneasy in his heart because he had offended the Wei family.
The Wei family is a marquis's mansion. Although the third master Wei himself does not hold a high official position, old lady Wei is still alive and the Wei family has not split up. Wei Yuyou is the marquis's daughter. In the past, they had always been pampered with good food and drink and kind words. Now they are treating her like this, and they themselves don't know what to do.
Although the eldest daughter-in-law of the Li family was a widow, she often couldn't help but say a few words, asking them to be more restrained.
But the old lady of the Li family was intent on listening to her youngest son. When she heard what she said, she couldn't help but scold him: "You only know how to be disloyal. The eldest son died and the family is in financial difficulty. Did the Wei family give us any way out? Did they help us in any way? What's the difference between having such in-laws and not having them? Since they look down on us so much..." (To be continued)
