Prince Linjiang did not expect that Shen Chen would actually laugh at this time, and subconsciously felt a little strange. When he saw Shen Chen raise his head, he could not help but be stunned. He raised Shen Chen since he was a child, so of course he knew what his expression meant, and he could not help feeling a little guilty.
After all, this was the child he had loved for so many years, and the only son of Princess Changle and Shen Cong. After thinking about it, King Linjiang suppressed his anger and irritation and whispered, "That girl is dead, so what? How many women do you want in the future?! Why are you so stubborn?!"
King Linjiang might dote on him, but he didn't know what he really wanted. Shen Chen suddenly felt a little sad. Seeing that he still felt that he was being unreasonable, he suddenly lost interest in explaining the situation. He just quietly waited for King Linjiang to calm down before saying, "If I say that I don't want another woman, and if she dies, I promise not to live alone, will you continue to do this behind my back in the future?"
This was a bit serious. King Linjiang snorted subconsciously and swung his sleeves to hit Shen Chen in the face: "Your parents gave you your body and hair. Your parents died and I raised you. This is how you repay us?! You keep talking about death?!"
That’s why you can never reason with your parents. They always find ways to blur the point and blame all your mistakes on your lack of respect for them.
Shen Chen knew it in his heart, so he had no interest in continuing to pester him. He coldly interrupted King Linjiang's scolding: "Whether you believe it or not, I will only have one wife in this life. This time..."
King Linjiang was very disgusted with what Shen Chen said, as if he had done something too much and intolerable. In his opinion, Wei An was not suitable for Shen Chen. Although they were getting along well now, how could a man not be greedy for new things in the future? Was Wei An the kind of person who could tolerate sand in his eyes? Such a woman should not be kept. He frowned and snorted coldly: "You really don't know what is good for you! I am your father, how can I harm you?!"
There is no point in talking to your parents. You talk to them about reason, and they talk to you about affection. They always try to use the grace of raising you to kidnap you and make you listen to them in everything.
Shen Chen had already understood this point, so he shook his head and interrupted King Linjiang: "Okay, father, I didn't come here to talk about this. You asked me to come here, so I guess you didn't ask me to come here just to talk to me, right?"
Of course not. Thinking of Xu Anying's behavior just now, King Linjiang couldn't help but feel a headache. He snorted and asked angrily: "Why did you say that? Now that you have killed people, they want to explain to me. What do you think I should do? "
Shen Chen raised his eyebrows, obviously thinking that Xu Anying was extremely shameless. He snorted and asked King Linjiang: "Does he dare to say that he doesn't know what his son is planning? Do he dare to say that he doesn't know that his son killed my wife?! If he knew, then what qualifications does he have to ask me for an explanation?! He should be thankful that I don't ask him for an explanation! If he hadn't attached himself to you and made such a great effort in this matter, would he still have the ability to stand here and ask you for an explanation?!"
In the past, Xu Anying certainly didn't have that confidence. He knew that King Linjiang raised Shen Chen like his own son and protected him and favored him everywhere. But now it's different. How much effort did their Xu family put into this palace coup? ! The members of the Homecoming Corps back then were all successful. I can't say how much more merit he made than the Homecoming Corps, but it's not much less. If he can't give his son an explanation after making such a great contribution, then what's the point of being an official? ! What's the point of taking risks that cost the lives of the whole family and even the whole clan? !
King Linjiang himself should be clear about this. If this matter is passed lightly, the people under him will probably not feel at ease.
The Xu family had made great contributions. The leader died quietly because he offended Shen Chen. What else can the others say? ! I'm afraid that anyone who breaks into the palace will think if there is anything wrong with them, and those who follow the third master Xu in the Lanyue Palace will be even more suspicious, fearing that Shen Chen will come to their door.
He gritted his teeth and said to the old man of the Xu family who had just walked in: "I want Shen Chen to pay the price for this matter!"
After returning home, Master Xu looked much older and more haggard. He no longer looked as arrogant as before. He was hunched over and his movements were a little slow. When he heard his father say this, a strange light burst out from his dull eyes, and he squeezed out a smug smile from his throat with effort: "He has come to this day! In the past, we lived by his face, but it turns out that he can make mistakes. No one informed him about this matter. He changed his schedule privately and came back. Who did he ask about the prince's plan?! Can the news of this palace coup be disclosed casually?! If this can be disclosed casually, then what prestige does the prince have?! How poor is the confidentiality of this palace?! No matter what, this time we will stick to him and not let him say it. No matter what, he came back privately this time, and this is wrong!"
He was spitting all over the place. Thinking of his brother's death, his expression became extremely ferocious again: "This bitch! If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have fallen to that point, and you wouldn't have taken the risk and put your whole family on the line. We helped so much, and now Shen Chen is turning his back on us and wants to kill us! It's not that easy. He has to take half his life!"
Xu Anying was much more experienced than him and knew that just threatening to kill was not enough. After all, Shen Chen was more important to King Linjiang. If he wanted to deal with Shen Chen, he had to start from another direction.
He quickly made up his mind that if this matter could not be blamed on Shen Chen, then he would blame it on Wei An. Anyway, one of these two people had to be held responsible for this incident.
When the King of Linjiang finally sent someone to invite him later, he stood up leisurely, told his son to stay put and not go anywhere, and then straightened his clothes. After thinking for a while, he waved and called a eunuch over: "Wait a minute, go and tell the Qin family that the plan has failed, and tell them that Wei An already knows everything."
It's not that he is cunning, but that Wei An and Shen Chen are too unethical. How can they do such wicked things without leaving any room for others? (To be continued)
