Shen Chen turned around and smiled leisurely: "Thanks to you, it went smoothly. You are very smart." His tone and expression were normal, as if he was just chatting with Wei An: "You even know what business Shen Liang is doing outside. This surprised me a little."
He has doubted Wei An countless times. There is no shortage of smart people in this world, but no matter how smart a person is, he should not have the ability to see everything. Wei An knows everything that even those powerful figures don't know.
But Wei An had always been very secretive about these things. When he was pressed to the limit, he would just say some irrelevant things, such as saying it was a blessing from God or a warning from a dream.
Shen Chen's eyes were deep, and he remembered the dream he had had before.
In his dream, he did see Wei An with a woman's hair style, and it was Wei An who told him that there was something strange about his father's death...
It’s a pity that he didn’t remember much. The dream was as faint as a reflection in the water, which broke at the slightest touch.
When he returned to the capital and really came into contact with Wei An, in addition to feeling that it was a warning from God, he also felt that there might be another possibility - perhaps all this was under Wei An's control
His grandmaster Zhang Zhenren once said that magic is not something illusory. There are powerful sorcerers who can use drugs to make people hallucinate.
Although it was a bit ridiculous, what happened after he met Wei An made him doubt, as he had reminded his master, whether Wei An was really so powerful and had planned step by step to bring him in as an ally.
Wei An didn't know that he had thought so far, but she could hear the temptation in his tone. She frowned and said to him: "I told you before, but you didn't believe it. Then just think of it as a lucky encounter for me." She glanced at the end of Merlin calmly: "Anyway, up to now, cooperating with me has more benefits than disadvantages, right?"
Shen Chen was not the kind of person who would not turn back until he hit a wall. Hearing Wei An's indifference, he changed the subject: "You are right. I was unruly. My trip to Jin was relatively smooth. I got all the evidence."
Wei An said that Shen Liang was in collusion with the prefect of Yancheng, and had invested in the business that the prefect of Yancheng was currently doing - the smuggling business outside the customs. He went there and indeed got the evidence.
Wei An hummed.
Shen Chen looked at her thoughtfully: "Now that Prince Zheng knows that you are his daughter, it is not time for you to recognize each other. If you want to recognize each other, you have to overcome this difficulty in front of you. There are so many things that happened in the Ming family back then. Where do you plan to start investigating?"
It cannot be said that there are no clues about the Ming family's affairs. In fact, there are a lot of clues. Wei Rui was hunted down when he went to Yunnan to investigate. Now a governor of Guangdong and Guangxi has emerged, and Wei An also has Yang Qinghe in his hands... But precisely because there are too many clues, it is easy for people to lose their way.
"You should deal with Shen Liang's matter first. If you use this as leverage, it might work wonders." Wei An looked at him and reminded him, "Back then, the Marquis of Pingxi was the beneficiary... Although he might be a little stupid, but... Mrs. Feng is not stupid, and Concubine Feng is not stupid either."
Wei An didn't care whether Concubine Feng had lost her mind because of the pain of losing her son, or whether Concubine Feng was targeting the Wei family. The fact was that Concubine Feng had taken action against the Wei family.
Since there was a first time, there might be a second time.
If you can't turn an enemy into a friend, the only thing you can do is make her disappear.
Wei An has already deeply understood his situation. If he is not wholeheartedly trying to be good, others will not let him go just because she has become a better person. If he is an enemy, he is an enemy.
So is Princess Changning, and so is Concubine Feng.
Anyway, she no longer expects anyone to be nicer to her because she has become a better person, so she might as well just remain a bad person to the end.
Shen Chen hummed: "I understand."
He has always been a very smart man. Wei An looked at the people running towards him from a distance, straightened his clothes, and slowly left the pavilion.
Linglong was so anxious that her face turned red all the way to her neck. She couldn't even breathe evenly. When she saw Wei An, she didn't even bother to greet him. She didn't even care about the distinction between master and servant. She grabbed Wei An's hand and asked him intermittently, "Where's the eighth lady?! Where's the eighth lady?!"
"You don't know?" Wei An pretended to be confused: "Didn't you just send a little girl over here and say that my grandmother wanted to see me in Lingyan Pavilion? My eighth sister insisted on going with me, and I couldn't persuade her. But I had to go to the bathroom halfway, so my eighth sister left first."
Linglong's face immediately turned pale. It was clearly a snowy day, but beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on her forehead.
Where is Feixue?! Is Feixue dead? Why did Wei Yulong go with her?!
Wei An's hands were subconsciously clenched by Linglong until they turned pale, and his fingertips were blue and white. Lan He gritted her teeth and slapped Linglong's hand away, unable to help but get angry: "Sister Linglong was trained in the palace, how can you be so careless? Look, our girl's hands have been squeezed blue by you!"
At this moment, Linglong didn't care whether Wei An's hand was bruised or not. She glared at Lan He with a grim face, then turned around and ran away.
But it was too late.
When she saw Princess Changning and her group leaving Lingyan Pavilion, she felt as if she were immersed in ice water and was almost shivering from the cold.
She subconsciously wanted to kneel down and apologize, but the old princess and Princess Changning didn't even look at her, and walked past her and went to the front. She followed them closely, with countless thoughts flashing through her mind.
It's none of her business...
She wanted to beg for mercy from Princess Changning, but Princess Changning ignored her and left the palace and got on the carriage, still in a stalemate with Princess Zhennan: "What do you mean by this?!"
They got on the carriage of the Zhennan Palace. The Princess of Zhennan was very free and easy in her own territory. The servility she had shown when she was about to return from the temple was no longer seen. She looked at her hands, which had gradually regained their moisture, and said softly, "What can I mean? Since the two children are in love, and the palace has promised to marry your child before, it is naturally time to fulfill the promise."
She raised her eyes to look at Princess Changning, and said with a strong tone without blinking: "Now that things have come to this, I know clearly in my heart that there is nothing more to say. In front of so many people, it was not me who said it, nor was it Feng'er who forced me to do it. It was A-Long who said it himself..."
Princess Changning couldn't help but get furious when she thought of that scene.
She had thought that Wei An and Zhuang Feng would be in Lingyan Pavilion, but she didn't expect that it was actually Wei Yulong and Zhuang Feng! She even tried her best to think of a reason to lure the old princess over!
Even the Princess of Chu and the Princess of Linjiang saw it!
But Wei Yulong was eager to admit it...
