Wei Yangqing didn't understand.
But there are others who understand it very well.
Chu Jingwu kept clicking his tongue at his second brother, stroking his chin with admiration and exaggeratingly sighing, "This Miss Wei Qi is really... amazing."
Before he returned to the capital, he had never heard of Wei An's name.
Later, I heard more and more about how Wei An got into trouble, and there were always some bad rumors.
But when he really got close to him, he realized what kind of person Wei An was.
She is very easy to get along with if people don't push her too hard.
But once someone steps on her bottom line, she is like a sword drawn from its sheath, extremely sharp and cold.
Shen Chen sat in the rocking chair and swung his legs a few times before turning over and sitting up: "Why are you here?"
Chu Jingwu was somewhat dissatisfied.
"Second brother, you have been out for more than half a month." He sighed when he talked about this: "Mother is very concerned about you."
Prince Linjiang has had many arguments with Princess Linjiang because Shen Chen did not return home to live.
Although Prince Linjiang and they all knew that Shen Chen was just playing along so that Emperor Longqing would be relieved and think that their family had indeed been in internal strife, Princess Linjiang did not know.
Princess Linjiang has been so angry that she has not been able to eat for several days.
The Peng family was in chaos, but in fact, the Linjiang Palace was only calm on the surface.
Chu Jingwu felt upset when he thought about this.
Shen Chen said "oh" and sat up. He looked at Chu Jingwu before looking away: "I know. I'll go back tomorrow."
Chu Jingwu stopped persuading him.
Some things have already been done, hurt and estrangement are inevitable, and saying more will only make people more disgusted, so it is better to just let things take their course.
He changed the subject: "Second brother, the weapons from the Ministry of War were sent out on the 17th of last month. The Yi family probably has moved all the weapons by now. They usually sell the stolen goods from the ports in Fujian. Could it be that Fan Shiqi has come out to report it again?"
The Peng family is really generous. If someone needs to marry a wife, they will send their daughter away. If someone needs to be won over, they will marry someone else's daughter as a daughter-in-law.
He fought so hard, no wonder he was able to escape unscathed from the case against the King of Chu.
Shen Chen raised his eyebrows: "You don't have to worry about these things, just do me another favor."
Chu Jingwu responded immediately.
He has been idle recently with nothing to do, and he doesn't want to stay at home and look at Chu Jingxing's face. He is already feeling suffocated. If there weren't so many lively things to watch at the Peng family, he wouldn't know how to kill time.
Seeing that he was facing a great enemy, Shen Chen couldn't help laughing. He gave him a sugar-roasted chestnut on the head and said, "It's not a big deal. Go check for me to see if there is anyone who is specifically targeting the Wei family."
Specifically targeting the Wei family
Chu Jingwu didn't quite understand and looked at him suspiciously, but still agreed.
Shen Chen stood on a high place and looked in the direction of the Peng family.
Wei An worked hard and started with a life. He successfully put Peng Caichen in jail, and then this incident triggered a series of troubles for the Peng family.
This sparked conflicts within the Peng family, causing a rift in the usually harmonious Peng family, and they prepared to take advantage of this rift to tear the Peng family into pieces.
This girl has given everything for her family, like a hedgehog with its spines erected at all times.
While other girls were still worrying about what kind of powder or hair oil to use, she had to face wind, frost and sword all day long.
He seemed to see himself in her, so if he could lend a hand, he would be more than willing to do so.
The Peng family is now in chaos.
Mr. Peng was helpless when his wife attempted to hang herself.
He had never realized before that his wife was so difficult to communicate with - perhaps people would not reveal their true nature so easily unless they were in desperate situations.
He tried his best to persuade her, but the lady still wouldn't listen to a word he said.
The eldest lady only knew that if she really entered Shuntian Prefecture, her reputation for the rest of her life would be ruined.
Even if it can come out intact by then, what will happen
Peng Lingwei also cried with her mother.
She didn't know how things had suddenly come to this point. It was just a small matter, but now the hole had gotten bigger and bigger and could no longer be filled.
In the past, how could those people in Shuntian Prefecture who curry favor with the powerful dare to come directly to the Peng family
This clearly hits the nail on the head.
She cried bitterly and hugged her father's thigh: "Dad, please don't let mother go to Shuntian Prefecture. If she goes, won't it be a disgrace to our family?!"
Master Peng knew this too. He looked at Master Peng with embarrassment and said, "Ah Huai, look..."
He sighed, and seeing Peng Huai's stiff face, he lowered his voice: "You also know what the situation is now. After all, your sister-in-law is the head of our Peng family. If she goes in, our entire Peng family will be easily discredited. The second son's wife was also there that day..."
Master Peng Er understood what his eldest brother meant. With a gloomy expression and complicated eyes, he stared at his eldest brother's helpless and tired face, and the look of the eldest lady touching each other. For a moment, his mind went blank.
I don’t know how my family got to this point.
He took a breath and realized that even his chest was aching. He groaned in a muffled voice: "Brother... this matter..."
After all, he and his wife have been married for many years!
Master Peng stood up and patted his shoulder. As usual, he shook his head kindly and said, "You are a sensible person, and your wife is also a sensible person. After this incident, she can come back to our Peng family as usual and be the second wife as usual."
"Just think of it as a request from my elder brother." Master Peng looked at the second master with a haggard face: "The arrow has been put on the string and has to be shot. We are now in a desperate situation. Look at your sister-in-law. If you let her go to Shuntian Prefecture, I'm afraid that Caichen and she will not be able to come back..."
Master Peng is telling the truth.
Madam Peng has always valued her reputation more than her life.
Master Peng II hesitated: "But if you have cleared her..." He looked at Master Peng's eyes and couldn't refuse. After a while, he resigned himself to his fate and lowered his head, letting out a long sigh as soft as a mosquito: "Yes, big brother, I understand."
Master Peng nodded with satisfaction.
Mrs. Peng looked at the Second Master with hope in her eyes and thanked him with a choked voice.
Yes, she couldn't go to Shuntian Prefecture.
I can't compete with my son, nor can I ruin my reputation for life.
So the second wife had to go. She would take all the charges on her own, and her son would at most be sentenced to a few years in prison or exiled. With some manipulation, he would be released soon.
