Lord Chen hummed, and then he heard Shen Liang mention the previous cooperation between the Fang family and Concubine Feng.
As expected, he used this handle to threaten people again.
Just as Censor Chen was about to shake his head, Shen Liang started laughing: "By the way, there is something I need to tell you, Your Excellency. Lord Cheng En..."
Fang Zhengrong got into trouble again. He saw a villa in the suburbs of Beijing and decided to buy it as a birthday gift for Old Mrs. Fang. However, the owner of the villa was a poor man. Although his family was in decline, he still held on to the villa and refused to sell it. Fang Zhengrong, with his usual arrogant style, beat the man to death in a few moves and then forced the remaining orphans and widows to sell the villa.
The victim went to the government office to file a report, but was suppressed.
This person is Shen Liang. Of course, Shen Liang is not really that good. He did so much for Fang Zhengrong just to have something to hold over him.
The light in Chen Yushi's eyes turned cold, and he asked in a confused manner, "Are you threatening me?"
Young people nowadays don't know much about how the Marquis of Pingxi came about, but people back then knew it very clearly - he was a shameless, heartless man who forced his brother to death and thus obtained the title.
This second-generation rich kid used to be an ordinary person, relying on this title to make a living. But recently he seems to have suddenly gotten lucky. Now he even wants to use Fang Zhengrong's matter to threaten him. Where does he get the courage from
Shen Liang observed the expressions on the faces of the people and, as he had agreed with others, brought up the ancestral home of Censor Chen again and said, "I heard that your clansmen in Henan had a dispute with others over the ancestral home?"
He smiled and said, "Actually, I happen to have a colleague in Xinxiang, Henan..."
Censor Chen reached out his hand to stop him and said gloomily, "I know."
Shen Liang smiled and hummed: "I'm relieved, Master Chen, don't worry, no one else will ever know about these things."
Censor Chen curled the corners of his mouth as if smiling, then stood up and left.
Shen Liang still stood up with a smile on his face and personally escorted Chen Yushi out. Then he turned around and ordered someone, "Go tell them that they have brought him here."
The words have been brought up, but whether they might succeed is another matter. Shen Liang took a big gulp of wine, still feeling a little nervous.
Will Censor Chen really be threatened
I don't know when the wind started blowing outside. In the capital city of Beijing at the end of February, the willow trees on both sides of the Imperial River had begun to sprout, and buds had appeared on the branches of the pear trees. Everywhere was a scene of vitality.
Censor Chen felt a chill in his heart. He returned home but had no time to go into the backyard. He first summoned his staff to discuss matters.
But in the end, several of his most trusted aides felt that Censor Chen was overthinking it - Shen Liang probably came to him because he had a vested interest in Qiu Chuying.
After all, Shen Liang has not done much over the years, and he has only relied on a title to survive until now.
How could he be so scheming that he had already dug a trap for the Fang and Chen families to fall into
But Censor Chen still felt that it was not that simple.
After thinking it over, he wrote a letter and gave it to his wife, asking her to take it to the Wei family.
Mrs. Chen didn't quite understand why her husband looked like this after going out to the appointment, but she knew something must have happened, so she asked him quickly, "You didn't have much of a relationship with the Marquis of Pingxi before, but you still went to the appointment, and came back looking like this, what happened?"
"It's a long story." Censor Chen waved his hand. Shen Liang could even find out about his hometown. He didn't believe it was a coincidence. And if Shen Liang didn't have this ability, then... was there someone else behind the scenes manipulating it
He sighed, decided to check on Shen Liang first, and asked Mrs. Chen not to ask any more questions.
Madam Chen said "oh" and when she saw Censor Chen leave the house, she asked people to get ready and led people to the Wei family.
Because they were going to visit the old lady, they couldn't go too late. Fortunately, it was not yet noon. After thinking it over, Mrs. Chen decided to go today instead of waiting until the next day.
With Wei Yangqing's promotion, the Dingbei Marquis's Mansion has taken on a whole new look, and even the doormen seem to be more energetic. Madam Chen mentioned this to the Second Madam with a smile.
Fang and the Second Madam had known each other since childhood, so the Second Madam did not hide the truth from her and smiled helplessly, "It has been a long time since our home has been so lively. Recently, our Third Brother and his wife have been so busy that there is no quiet time at home."
"This is a good thing." Madam Chen smiled gently, not shying away from her childhood playmate: "It just shows that the Marquis's Mansion is now on the rise. Look at how crowded it is now. It's almost like we've returned to the time when the old Marquis was still around twenty years ago."
The Second Lady led Madam Chen through the corridor, talked with her for a while with a smile, and then led her in to see Old Madam Wei.
Mrs. Wei was in much better spirits than before. Mrs. Chen was a little surprised. She couldn't help thinking that the rumors from the outside world might be true. Mrs. Wei was really happy after sending away the plague god, Princess Changning.
I thought so in my heart, but I couldn't say it out loud. I also had to ask about Princess Changning's recent situation.
Old Madam Wei's explanation was still the same. She said that Princess Changning had fallen and needed to rest. After saying this, she asked Madam Chen, "I heard that you posted an invitation for an outing?"
"We are late in posting the invitation, please don't mind." She said as she took the invitation from the maid and handed it to Mrs. Wei.
Aunt Hua took the invitation. Old Madam Wei glanced at it and raised her eyebrows. She turned around and told Aunt Hua, "Go and ask Miss Seven to come over."
Recently, Wei An has been busy with the affairs of her own house outside, and she doesn't stay in He'an Courtyard all day long like before.
After waiting for about an incense stick of time, she led people in.
After not seeing each other for a while, Wei An became calmer.
The flowers after the rain bloomed more brilliantly than before, yet they also had a strange calmness and a kind of complex beauty.
Madam Chen couldn't help but laugh. She held onto Wei An who was about to bow, and then she said softly, "The master has a letter and asked me to bring it to the old lady and Miss Seven."
She told him that Censor Chen was called out by Shen Liang, and that Old Lady Wei had already given the letter to Wei An.
Shen Liang...
Wei An unfolded the letter and read it, then glanced at Madam Chen: "Why is Censor Chen's ancestral home in Xinxiang, Henan?"
"It's his great-uncle's branch. Although they separated a long time ago, they returned to their ancestral home a few years ago, so there is an additional relative." Mrs. Chen raised her eyebrows in surprise: "What's wrong? Why did you suddenly bring up this matter? Our master has never taken this matter seriously..."
