The carriage gradually drove away from the noisy and busy streets. Xuesong coughed subtly outside before reminding Shen Chen: "My Lord, it's time to go. It's almost time. If you delay any longer, I'm afraid you'll cause trouble for the princess again."
After returning, he did not go to the palace to see Emperor Longqing to explain the progress of the matter, but rushed to see Wei An. This was unacceptable and would easily lead to criticism both publicly and privately.
Now, not to mention others, the eyes of the Xu family and Princess Linjiang are probably fixed on Shen Chen, waiting to find something to hold against him so that he cannot get married smoothly and fulfill his wish.
Shen Chen responded, turned around and winked at Wei An: "Are you going to see Bao Ge'er now?"
This was obviously a question he was asking despite knowing the answer. He knew her whereabouts and was able to get on her carriage, so why was he still asking this question? Wei An hummed, and then he saw Shen Chen suddenly laugh again.
"Since you are going to see Bao Ge'er, stay longer. When the time comes, I will come out of the palace, visit Bao Ge'er, pay my respects to the prince, and then send you back to meet the old lady." Shen Chen held her in his arms and bent down to kiss her hair: "Don't worry about Bao Ge'er. No matter who harmed him, there will always be someone who will take the responsibility. I won't let you suffer in vain."
Wei An has suffered enough injustice, and he doesn't want her to live a life of caution and fear. Since the tree wants to be still but the wind doesn't stop, he might as well stop all the wind.
He always felt sorry for his son in the past, thinking that the kindness of his father in raising him when he was a child was not fake after all. He also always felt that he should compromise for his father so that the family could have a quieter time.
But this time he almost lost his life in Fangshan. At that moment he thought of Wei An and felt sad - the look of his mother's collapse when she lost his father was still engraved in his mind. He knew how sad the life of a woman who lost her lover would be.
Not to mention whether one has enough ability to deal with all kinds of malicious speculations or even frame-ups, just the loss of a loved one is enough to destroy a person.
He once swore that he would make Wei An never cry again, but he almost hurt her because of his soft-heartedness. It was because he gave in again and again and signaled Wei An to be tolerant that things developed to this situation and made Princess Linjiang become more and more unscrupulous and reckless.
If he was the only one, he would be a bachelor and consider himself lucky and would not be afraid of Princess Linjiang causing trouble from time to time. But now it is different. He is about to have his own wife, and his own children, and a home that truly belongs to him. He cannot let these people become the target of Princess Linjiang's anger and let her vent her anger at will.
Wei An didn't know what to say, but she felt that she didn't need to say anything anymore - she didn't need to say what she wanted, because this person already knew it all and was trying hard to do it for her.
So no matter whether the road ahead is smooth or full of difficulties and obstacles, she is willing to go through it with this person.
Xuesong coughed again outside. He, who had rarely spoken in a thousand years, couldn't help but whispered: "My Lord, there will be many opportunities for us to meet in the future. You should..." He paused, as if he was afraid that Shen Chen would get angry and jump out, so he softened his tone and said: "Let's wait until the matter is settled before coming to see the princess."
Wei An couldn't help but want to laugh. There was a clear contrast between Xuesong and Hanbo, but both of them dared to say that they were equally loyal to Shen Chen.
Shen Chen was obviously a little embarrassed and angry. He folded his hands and cursed softly, then reluctantly said to Wei An: "Then I will leave first. You wait for me in the palace."
Wei An smiled and nodded in agreement. When he saw Shen Chen’s back disappear around the corner, he lowered the curtain and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Yuqing followed closely behind him, with a look of joy on her face. She couldn't help but say, "Miss, the Marquis really values you..." She looked at Wei An with envy, holding her face in her hands: "With a husband like this, I will definitely be very happy in the future."
Wei An couldn't help but laugh, and said to her, "You talk as if you have met many people. How do you know that he can always keep his original intention?"
"That's different." Yu Qing couldn't help but look serious, fearing that Wei An would not take Shen Chen's feelings seriously: "Many men always have a sense of superiority when facing us, just like... the eldest uncle, the fifth uncle... At the beginning, they also showed deep affection, kneeling to ask for marriage, and bringing the aunts back diligently... But that's different. Their kindness was mixed with purpose from the beginning. You see, they really showed their true colors, but only for a short period of time. Pretending can't last long. The most valuable thing about the Marquis is his attitude towards you... He not only likes you, but more importantly, he respects you and respects your wishes..."
She was a little unable to continue, and after thinking for a while, she said with certainty: "Anyway, I can see that the Marquis is a really good person, and he really treats you well."
Wei An pinched her face and thought she was so adorable. She was so lucky that no matter whether it was adversity or prosperity, no matter in her past life or this life, she always had a girl like this by her side, who would think about her wholeheartedly.
When they arrived at the palace, Prince Zheng had already heard the news that Shen Chen had returned to the capital. Seeing Wei An picking up Bao Ge'er, he said, "It's good that Shen Chen is back. I've always been holding my breath. No matter what, this time the emperor must give us an explanation."
Baoger reached out to grab Wei An's hair, twirling his chubby fingers around his hair and giggling. After laughing, he kissed Wei An's face, leaving his face covered with saliva.
Princess Zheng, who was standing by, reached out to take Bao Ge'er's hand, and couldn't help but say, "Bao Ge'er really... has a bad temper. He insists on doing things you don't ask him to do. I don't know how many times you've taught him, but he just can't change his habit of grabbing people's hair!"
Although she said so, there was no sign of anger or distress on her face. To her, as long as Baoger got better, whatever he did was cute and natural.
Even King Zheng stood on Bao Ge'er's side: "He is still young, so he can do whatever he wants. As for the rules, is it time for us to teach him less in the future? Just let him do whatever he wants."
The ultimate hope of every parent for their child is that they just let him be happy. Living in this world is already difficult, and being able to grow up happily is a blessing. (To be continued)
