The old man met the King of Linjiang smoothly. After all, they have been father-in-law and son-in-law for so many years. The King of Linjiang was surprised to see him limping. When he heard him cough several times before he could breathe and talk, and cough every time he took a breath, he felt even more distressed. He gave him a hand and shook his head: "Father-in-law, why do you have to do this? If you have anything to say, just ask someone to come and tell me. Since you are so unwell, don't rush around, so as not to make your condition worse."
To Prince Linjiang, the Qin family had done nothing wrong except marrying him a daughter with a really bad temper. On the contrary, the eldest and fourth sons of the Qin family both died in Jiujiang because of him. This was more than an ordinary favor, so even after the incident with Princess Linjiang, Prince Linjiang was still very tolerant of the Qin family.
The Qin family was especially sensible when it came to the matter of Princess Linjiang. Except for Madam Qin San who came to provoke the younger Wei An, everyone else obediently accepted the result.
The lady and the old man were obviously reluctant to let their daughter go, but they nodded and agreed without saying a word, saying that since their son-in-law did this, he must have his reasons, and they knew that their son-in-law had tolerated their daughter for long enough over the years.
King Linjiang would certainly give face to such reasonable parents-in-law.
The old man sighed and shook his head for a long time before he stopped coughing. "Those youngsters can't speak clearly, so I'd better come here in person. I heard that...Shen Chen's person has not come out since he entered the palace?"
Although he asked this kind of question, King Linjiang did not show any anger or resentment on his face. He nodded calmly and said with a relaxed expression: "Yes, there is such a thing, but it is not a big deal. You don't have to worry too much."
He said the truth, but did not reveal the reason. Moreover, the attitude of King Linjiang was really intriguing. Old Master Qin understood a little, and asked King Linjiang with wide eyes: "We have been father-in-law and son-in-law for many years. I have something to ask you. If you think it is okay, please tell me the truth so that I can follow your instructions... Isn't this a bit wrong?"
Prince Linjiang was reading a newspaper. Hearing this, he raised his head and looked at him and asked, "What are you saying is not right?"
Has this matter reached the point where everyone can guess what he is thinking
His expression suddenly changed, and Old Master Qin could see it, so he coughed even more violently, as if he wanted to cough out his heart and lungs. After coughing for a long time, he waved his hands, breathing unevenly: "I thought that since you value Shen Chen, you should love his family as well, but you didn't seem to offer a hand to help this time..."
King Linjiang stared at him intently for a while, until his scalp felt numb, and then he turned his eyes away as if nothing had happened: "Don't worry about this matter."
Old Master Qin was still confused. He covered his mouth and retched a few times. When he saw King Linjiang personally stand up and hand him tea, he stood up hurriedly and said, "Is it..." He made a strange gesture, and when King Linjiang didn't say anything, he nodded and said, "Then I know."
Prince Linjiang raised his eyebrows and said nothing more. He just told him to take good care of himself and sent him out.
When Old Master Qin returned home, he called his wife and children over and shook his head and said bluntly, "There is no need to put any effort into Wei An in the future. He is useless and has no use anymore."
This speech was unclear. Madam Qin San opened her eyes wide, not knowing what her father-in-law meant. She exclaimed in surprise, "What do you mean? Father, is it true that Wei An can't leave the palace?"
Thinking of this, Mrs. Qin San was still a little happy. She really didn't want to deal with this stubborn person. Such a person was too difficult to deal with.
Old Master Qin stroked his beard, took the medicine handed to him by the maid, and drank it mouthful by mouthful. When the churning in his stomach subsided a little, he hummed and said concisely: "He is an abandoned child. Shen Chen thought that the prince would do something for him, but you know the prince's character. Would the prince be the kind of person who is willing to be constrained by others?"
Not to mention that there is only one Wei An in the palace now, even if Chu Jingwu is also in the palace, it will not change Prince Linjiang's mind. The most he can do is ask more people to keep an eye on him and protect him as much as possible. It is impossible to give up the plan just for him.
The lady also smiled with satisfaction, shook her head and said, "Then all the methods we thought of before are useless?"
The old man said affirmatively: "Of course, she is no longer useful, which saves us a lot of trouble. However, since we can't start with her, how can we get close to Shen Chen and ask him to do things for us? Shen Chen... He is still brooding over what we did in the past. It is absolutely impossible for him to cooperate with us and speak for us. Originally, we thought of convincing Wei An first, but it would be the same. Now Wei An is useless, so how about asking A Wu to go?"
The smile on the lady's face gradually disappeared, and she frowned and said, "Awu is not willing to pay attention to us..."
He always felt that the wrong things done by Princess Linjiang were condoned by the Qin family, so after Chu Jingxing and Princess Linjiang got into trouble one after another, his relationship with the Qin family became even more distant.
When the lady had her birthday a while ago, he just came for the occasion and left, refusing to stay and talk.
The relationship has become like this, it would be very difficult to convince him to help mediate.
Besides, if they could convince Chu Jingwu, then they wouldn't have to go so far to look for Shen Chen.
The family all looked sad when they talked about this topic. They looked at each other for a while before shaking their heads and sighing. Seeing everyone like this, the lady said, "Why not do this... Let the third child post a message to find Awu. He is the only one in our family who is a little more friendly with Awu. I believe Awu will not give him face. Let him go find Awu. When he comes, we will talk to him. Awu is a good child. What we ask for is not excessive. It is all for his own good and will not harm anyone. Can he really draw a line between himself and our family?"
Yes, after all, he has half of the Qin family's blood in him.
Now that Shen Chen cannot be the lobbyist, then find Chu Jingwu and let Chu Jingwu go to Shen Chen, and then Shen Chen will go to ask King Linjiang for help. It will be the same.
Mrs. Qin San breathed a sigh of relief. This job was much better than trying to please Wei An, so she immediately agreed. (To be continued)
