Spring Secrets

Chapter 448: Forty-eight. Threat

Views:

Shen Chen's kick was extremely powerful. After this kick, the weak scholar Peng Caichen couldn't even get up from the ground. Peng Lingwei was so frightened that she screamed and rushed over.

Did Shen Chen take the wrong medicine

Why beat her brother?!

Shen Chen did not even look at Peng Caichen lying on the ground. He just flicked the non-existent dust off his sleeves and said, "I have never heard my uncle say that he wants to marry into any family. Marriage is about the union of two families. You two are so outspoken and ruin people's reputations. You don't want to marry, you want to make enemies."

Even if Wei An's reputation was really ruined, what did it have to do with Shen Chen? !

Peng Caichen was kicked so hard that he felt like he was going to cough out his lungs. He coughed for a long time, his face flushed red, and he sat up, holding his waist. He really didn't care whether he was afraid or not, and asked Shen Chen: "Why did the prince beat people without knowing right or wrong?!"

Although Shen Chen is a tyrant, his family is at least related to the Linjiang Palace. Even Chu Jingan usually calls him cousin, and Chu Jingxing will not say anything harsh when he sees him.

Shen Chen hit him so hard with just one move, and in front of Wei An, whom he looked down upon, this really made him extremely ashamed and angry.

Shen Chen glanced at him nonchalantly and smiled. "I'll beat you if I want to. What else do you need? Not just this time, but next time you say something you shouldn't say, I'll beat you every time I see you. If you don't learn your lesson, I'll beat you until you learn your lesson."

The Peng brothers and sisters were stunned.

Shen Chen had already turned his head to look at Wei An: "Let's go, cousin. It's embarrassing to stay with such a person. It's not easy to come out here, don't let this ruin your mood. I'll treat you to a good meal. How about the braised beef at Shangyuanlou?"

He made it seem like a piece of cake, and it was obvious that he didn't take the Peng brothers and sisters seriously at all.

Wei An then laughed in agreement: "Great, I heard that it's hard to get a seat at Shangyuan Tower, so I'll have to take advantage of my cousin this time."

The word "cousin" was called in a very gentle voice, and Peng Caichen looked up suddenly.

He looks down on Wei An, that's his business.

But in his eyes, Wei An was already in his pocket. When his prey actually started to try to break out, it became unbearable.

When he raised his head, he unexpectedly saw Wei An's smile.

In his memory, what he saw most was Wei An's cold face. When she saw him, she usually lowered her head or raised her chin. He was not very willing to look at her. After thinking about it, he couldn't even remember what her face looked like.

But no matter what happened in the past, now Wei An's beautiful smile caught his eyes, and even he couldn't help but feel his eyes brightened.

Just like the most beautiful night-blooming cereus blooming in the dark night, Wei An's profile was flawlessly beautiful. From his angle, he could even see the curvature of Wei An's profile when he smiled and his eyelashes that curled like little fans.

His mother always said that Wei An's only good looks were his qualities, and his sister also always said that Wei An didn't look like a good person. He never knew that women's slander was actually compliments.

It turns out that when Wei An really smiles, he is so dazzling.

He sneered: "Snakes and rats are of the same nest!"

He actually wanted to say something more unpleasant, wanted to utter more harsh words, but in the end he didn't dare.

Even this sentence made him pay a very painful price - because Shen Chen was obviously a man of his words, and he really beat him again.

This time, Peng Caichen was beaten so hard that he was carried back home.

Peng Lingwei followed behind with tears and snot, and when she saw Madam Peng, she couldn't help sobbing and crying. She was really wronged. She went to find trouble with Wei An but failed, and was humiliated instead, by her own lover. This experience was too much of a blow to her.

Mrs. Peng's eyes widened with astonishment, and when she understood the reason, she opened her eyes even wider in shock.

Shen Chen beat her son? !

But why did Shen Chen beat him? After all, their family and Linjiang Palace are still relatives!

Mrs. Peng felt a headache and stopped her daughter from crying. She sent a letter to ask for a doctor and asked if there was any news from the Wei family.

Is Wei An really content with being his own princess

Doesn't she know why she became the princess

If Emperor Longqing knew that she and Prince Zheng were playing tricks under his nose, the first to die would be Prince Zheng's Mansion and Marquis Dingbei's Mansion.

Wei An obviously didn't think she would die. She watched Shen Chen patiently and carefully cutting the beef, then she carefully put down her chopsticks and said softly, "The Peng family held a banquet at the Phoenix Terrace a few days ago, and you were there..."

Shen Chen hummed, and while he was talking, he had already cut the beef into even slices. He pushed the small plate towards Wei An and raised his chin to her: "Try it. Only Shangyuanlou raises a lot of cattle. His family has done a lot of research, so the braised beef is so famous."

Seeing Wei An holding out her chopsticks, he pushed the sauce towards her and said, "I was discussing something with Lin San that day. I didn't know that Peng Caichen was harassing you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have waited until today and would have beaten you on the spot."

He said it as a matter of course, not taking Peng Caichen's matter seriously at all. Wei An raised his lips and thought of Guo Zixing's matter again.

"Why did the Jinyiwei suddenly arrest someone that day?" Wei An was very confused: "Logically speaking, Guo Zixing has been back for a while, and the Ministry of War has never done anything to him before. Why did they suddenly accuse him of collaborating with the enemy?"

After all, Guo Zixing was related to the Peng family, and Wei An was very interested in knowing about Guo Zixing.

Shen Chen had nothing to hide from her, so he told her about Guo Zixing, and sneered at the end: "Guo Zixing is... I consider him my man."

It is not that easy to have a good life and make money in Fujian.

Shen Chen had already started planning to get all of Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. As the Lieutenant General of Taizhou, Guo Zixing naturally had to make more friends with them. You know, he had dealt with pirates many times and was very experienced. With his help, it would be much easier for him to use his power for personal gain.

But just after he had a little connection with Guo Zixing, something happened to Guo Zixing.

Guo Zixing came to the capital to report on his work specifically to file a complaint.

He was a good fighter, but also a stubborn person who didn't know how to adapt. Overall, he was definitely a good guy. Three thousand soldiers died in such an unclear way, but he had to figure out the right and wrong. That was why he suffered a great loss and was bitten back. Now he is locked up in prison, unable to move, and at the mercy of others.
