Mother Qin knew that this was a rare time when Princess Linjiang was happy. Seeing her warm smile, she also smiled to join in the fun. Thinking of Qingshuang again, she shook her head and said, "Oh, by the way, speaking of which, our Miss Qingshuang has not been heard from for a long time. She can really sit still. The Marquis is not at home for a few days, but she can sit still. Look, she has never sent us any news. Do you think... will she have second thoughts about us?"
Qingshuang has been too quiet. It has been so long, almost two months, and there has been no news from her since she went to the Pingxi Marquis Mansion.
The Pingxi Marquis Mansion was originally Shen Chen's territory, so even if Princess Linjiang wanted to find out about Qingshuang, she couldn't.
But Qingshuang doesn't care much about her alcoholic father. In her heart, she wishes such a person didn't exist. Her sisters are like vampires, and her stepmother is extremely vicious. Even if she wants to use these people to control her, she can't.
Although Princess Linjiang said nothing, Mother Qin couldn't help feeling a little panicked. After all, Qingshuang was an important chess piece. If she turned against him, Shen Chen would take her to Prince Linjiang to make a confession, and that would be the end of her life.
Prince Linjiang loves Shen Chen so much now. If he knew that Princess Linjiang is still secretly plotting against him even at this point, he would definitely not let the princess go easily.
Princess Linjiang herself was not in a hurry. She was very worried when she saw Mother Qin mention this matter. Instead, she smiled and said, "You have been with that girl for a while. Don't you know what kind of person she is? She is a very temperamental person. She didn't have a suitable opportunity before. Now Shen Chen has fallen in front of her out of thin air. How could she be willing to let go of this rich son-in-law? She is not stupid. If she tells Shen Chen everything, Shen Chen will certainly pity her at first because of her honesty, but who is Shen Chen? Shen Chen is a person who values affection the most. If she says so, it means that I, the old master, am unfair. How do you think Shen Chen will look at her? Will Shen Chen really believe that she likes him because of her sincere heart? Come on."
Mother Qin understood what she said and said thoughtfully, "If you put it that way, Qingshuang is so smart that she definitely wouldn't dare to do that."
"Besides, if she becomes the bad guy, she will be in trouble with both sides. Even for Awu's sake, Shen Chen will not want her around. She is an ambitious person and she is eager to stay with Shen Chen for a while longer. You can tell by how patient she is. How can such a patient person do something that is not good for herself? Just put your mind at ease. This girl is much smarter than we thought." Princess Linjiang lowered her head and stroked her cat, stroking its fur from time to time. After a while, she said, "Is there any movement from Concubine Yu?"
Mother Qin shook her head, somewhat complacently: "She has been very well behaved recently. She also knows that what the prince fears most now is a dispute in the backyard, so she dares not do anything at all."
Princess Linjiang showed no emotion on her face. She waited until Chu Jingwu came in to pay his respects before she asked him with a smile, "Why are you here at this time? Have you had your meal?"
Chu Jingwu nodded and said he had eaten. Seeing that Princess Linjiang was reading Buddhist scriptures, he waited for her to wash her hands and hold incense before saying, "Mother, didn't we agree to arrange my second brother's marriage in advance? Why didn't father mention it now?"
Princess Linjiang glanced at him and said calmly, "How should I know these things? Didn't your father say that your second brother has already been separated? Even if he wants me to help with the arrangements, he just wants me to keep an eye on them. I don't know about their affairs." After a pause, she continued, "However, hasn't the Wei family been making a fuss recently because a girl wants to divorce? Even I heard about it. I'm afraid your father is worried because of this."
Chu Jingwu couldn't help but frown. He knew Shen Chen. Shen Chen had to be with Wei An. There was no point in stopping him. He was just afraid that the Linjiang Palace played a role in this again. But now looking at the look of Princess Linjiang, it seemed that she really didn't care about Shen Chen's affairs at all.
Since she is not the Princess of Linjiang, is it really because the King of Linjiang heard the rumors outside and was worried that Wei An would be too strong, so he became indifferent to this matter
He coughed a few times and saw that Princess Linjiang was indeed indifferent to Shen Chen's affairs and was too lazy to even ask one more question, so he found an excuse to come out and went straight to find Shen Chen.
Shen Chen was still in the palace and had not come out.
He had no choice but to wait in Shen Chen's mansion. Seeing the bustle of people coming and going, he couldn't help but wonder, so he stopped Han Bo and asked him, "Why is it so busy? Is there something going on in the mansion?"
Everyone knows that the Pingxi Marquis's Mansion doesn't have a mistress yet, so nothing can be done.
Han Bo shook his head and said, "No, I was taking measurements for the people in the mansion and making new clothes. That's why I was a little busy today. There weren't many servants in the mansion originally because there were not many people. Although the prince gave several old servants, there were only about twenty people in total, which was very few. Now there are more people. The marquis meant to make some clothes for them all."
Chu Jingwu didn't quite understand: "Then why are you running away? Do you still need to do these things?"
"It's not me, but Qingshuang is watching the inner courtyard, so I have to watch the boys outside, afraid that they will go in." Han Bo wrinkled his nose: "Uncle Shen went out with the Marquis today."
Chu Jingwu said "oh" and waited until Shen Chen came back before asking him, "Father is unwilling to talk about your marriage now. Uncle Zheng must be very angry. Is Wei An also angry with you? You should think of a way to avoid hurting the relationship between the two sides."
He was really worried about Shen Chen. He knew that Shen Chen liked Wei An and was determined to marry Wei An. He also knew that King Linjiang did not approve of Shen Chen's deep affection and was afraid that Shen Chen would be controlled by Wei An and suffer in the future.
These two people have stubborn tempers. If they were to confront each other, who knows what would happen.
If there really was any dispute or quarrel over this matter, it would really not be worth it.
He chased after Shen Chen and asked, "Do you want me to go to father and persuade him again? Father is just afraid that you will be too obedient to Wei An. After all, everyone knows that the daughters of the Wei family have bad tempers and are difficult to please. One by one, they want to divorce at any time. Father is actually doing this for your own good, and he has no other intentions."
Shen Chen stopped and patted his shoulder: "I know what you mean, don't worry, I know what's going on. Father and I have different experiences, so he naturally thinks differently. This is not a big problem." (To be continued)
