Wei An became a little entangled from the initial embarrassment, as if he had really done something to let him down. He couldn't help but give in to his gaze: "I always feel a little uncomfortable when you are like this..."
After a man and a woman have an intimate relationship, usually, they either go from being strangers to being completely close without any barriers, or there will be an awkward period.
Wei An is a thin-skinned person. Although she has lived two lives, she is still blank when it comes to love. The Shen Chen she expected is not like he is now, and their mode of getting along is not like this either.
She never thought that Shen Chen would be so obsessed with her.
Shen Chen stared at her carefully for a long time before he sighed a little aggrievedly: "I've only heard of women who don't like their husbands to be too distant and inattentive, but I've never heard of women who don't like their husbands to be too clingy... An An..."
The two words "An An" came out of his mouth with a lingering feeling that was not there before, and it was indescribably graceful and lingering. Wei An couldn't help but shudder, and felt goose bumps popping up on his arms. He couldn't stand him. When he realized that Shen Chen's hand was going to his collar, he couldn't bear it anymore and opened his pig's hoof, pushed him away, and glared at him: "We are talking about business..."
Shen Chen just laughed. He laughed more in the past two days than in all the years he had lived before. Seeing Wei An was about to run away, he reached out and grabbed her and pulled her into his arms. Before Wei An was about to get angry, he raised his hands obediently: "Okay, okay, whatever you want to say, I'm listening."
As expected, he stopped acting like a spoiled child, so Wei An felt much more relaxed. He told him about the incident with Madam Qin San. Seeing that his expression gradually turned cold, he also became a little angry. He said angrily, "They have done so many hurtful things in the past, and now they turn around and want to curry favor with us. But they don't even put away their arrogance, and even condescendingly ask us to kowtow to the princess. I don't know where they get the nerve to do that!"
Some people never think that face is important. The haze on Shen Chen's face gradually dissipated. He reached out and fiddled with the tassel hairpin on Wei An's head. After a long while, he whispered: "The Qin family relies on my hard work and great achievements. They are sure that they can use their status to pressure me. I have no choice but to bow my head..."
It was like this in the past.
Princess Linjiang thought he was a burden, and so did the Qin family. They always used the love and care they had shown them over the years to force him to submit countless times, forcing him to do things he didn't want to do.
This kind of behavior of using morality to coerce people really makes people feel uncomfortable.
This is also the reason why Shen Chen, who was extremely respectful to Princess Linjiang at that time, never got close to the Qin family. They are used to using favors as an excuse, and if they give you a little, they will ask for it back a thousand times, and they wish you would be sold to them for the rest of your life.
Wei An held his hand: "It's okay now..."
There will never be a time when I will be bullied by them again.
Shen Chen didn't smile, his expression was very unpleasant: "No... This matter is not over yet, you don't understand the Qin family, think about it, what kind of Qin family is it that can raise a princess with such a temperament, and can bring up someone like Chu Jingxing?"
Wei An's eyes gradually became serious, and after a moment he said, "This is just the initial test, to see if I'm easy to deal with, to see if I can be easily persuaded by a few words, to see my attitude. Next, it's time for them to make their real move, right?"
Shen Chen hugged her and hummed, his calm face showing a bit of solemnity: "I expected that they would not give up this position easily, but I can accept them trying to win the favor of my father, but I can't tolerate them putting their ideas on you!"
Those embarrassing past events and those intolerable tricks could have happened to him, but he would never let Wei An suffer from them again.
It’s time for the Qin family to suffer.
Wei An was somewhat moved. It turned out that there were people in this world who loved others so purely and passionately. They offered their true hearts and never asked for anything in return. She shook her head and whispered, "I don't care, and I'm not afraid..."
If she is pushed into a corner, she will do something even more cruel than the Qin family.
Shen Chen stopped talking. There were some things that he didn't need to tell Wei An. He would handle them himself. When the clock in the room rang, he glanced over there, turned back and pinched Wei An's nose: "Okay, let's not talk about this. Get ready. We will go to the palace to see the emperor tomorrow morning..."
Their marriage was arranged by the emperor, and Shen Chen was considered a royal family member, so he should go to the palace to thank the emperor.
Wei An hummed in agreement and asked about Chu Jingwu again: "I heard that he has killed a lot of servants recently?"
Shen Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise, then quickly realized what was happening and asked her, "Did your people go and inquire?"
Wei An saw that his face was not very good, and thought it was because of Chu Jingwu's indiscriminate killing. He paused before saying, "Lan He and the others want to find out about the situation in this mansion for me, so that we can know what to do."
Shen Chen rubbed his brows and said, "Tell Lan He and the others not to ask any more questions. Father knows everything about the affairs in the mansion. Those people were not killed by Awu."
Chu Jingwu didn't kill him? Then why did he deliberately create misunderstandings? Even the servants in the mansion thought that Chu Jingwu's temperament had changed drastically and he was a wicked man who killed innocent people
Wei An was about to ask a question when he couldn't help but shudder: "Were those people... killed by the prince?"
Only the King of Linjiang has the qualifications to ask Chu Jingwu to willingly bear the infamy of murder for him. Wei An couldn't figure it out, and asked incredulously: "Why does the prince... ..."
Why did he kill someone in the house and let his son bear the reputation of murder and be misunderstood by others
Besides, this is only the second day of their marriage! I heard that just yesterday, Chu Jingwu killed someone...
When asked this, Shen Chen was obviously a little tired. He leaned back in the chair and turned Wei An to face him. He looked at her for a long time before shaking his head.
Wei An was puzzled: "Is it...?"
"Father refused to tell me." Shen Chen lowered his eyes: "Lian Awu, I asked him, and he just told me to leave it alone. But they didn't tell me, but I'm not a fool, I guessed it more or less..."
Wei An also guessed it. She was silent for a while, then she said softly to Shen Chen: "I know, it was someone planted by the emperor in the palace, right? Is the prince... planning to confront the emperor?"
Prince Linjiang may have long been fed up with Emperor Longqing's capriciousness. (To be continued)
