Lan He was a little unhappy. She always felt that the Peng family's end was not tragic enough - although the Peng family was finished, there was still a Concubine Peng De who was not implicated. Moreover, this Concubine De happened to give birth to a little prince. If she started to cause trouble for her own daughter, it would be enough to make people suffer.
What’s more, there is now the Liu Biping incident.
My daughter has always been cautious and careful in doing things.
For example, the plot against the Peng family this time was done step by step, like boiling a frog in warm water. This did not alert the Peng family at all. He took advantage of the character weaknesses of each member of the Peng family, letting them fight among themselves, and then took advantage of the situation, forcing them step by step into this irretrievable situation.
But it was a not-so-pleasant surprise that Liu Biping was able to escape from the trap.
"Girl." Lan He frowned and covered her with a cloak, sighing worriedly: "Do you think she is lying? After all, no one knows about this except her."
It’s not like no one knows about it. Shen Chen and the others know about it.
Yuqing shook her head and said, "Mrs. Peng has already exposed the Peng and Yi families. How could she care about Liu Biping? They don't have much contact with each other. They don't know each other at all. It's probably not her."
Since she is not Mrs. Peng, it is impossible that Liu Biping has the ability to see and hear from afar.
Wei An ordered Yu Qing: "Have He Sheng check all the people who passed the message this time. There are a lot of people who passed the message. If it's them, we'll know once we ask them."
With He Sheng's means, if there really were people among his own who were betraying him, he could easily find out.
But if it's not our own...
She frowned and was about to say something else when the waiter outside said tentatively, "Princess, the young prince is outside. He wanted to ask if you are free."
Speak of the devil, and he will appear. Wei An smiled and simply stopped moving. He sat down at the long table and asked Lan He to invite the guests in. He then looked at the pedestrians on the street through the window.
As soon as Shen Chen entered the room, he saw her looking at the people outside with great interest, and couldn't help laughing: "So you have this hobby? What can you tell from looking at people?"
Wei An, who can see a lot of things, said seriously: "For example, the man with a limp, look at him, he is bossing his wife around, and he pushes her all the time..."
Shen Chen followed her gaze and looked over, his eyes lingered for a moment before he retracted them. "People outside who don't know the truth would definitely think this is extremely rude and cruel, but no one noticed that the woman next to him deliberately lagged behind him by a few steps and often stepped on his back, causing his already unstable shoes to often loosen. She looked impatient and often reached out to push him from behind..."
That’s it. Wei An couldn’t help but smile: “So you have this hobby too.”
"When I was a kid, I was bored during the long days. My favorite thing to do was to ride on the wall and watch the people outside. I would often watch for the whole day. As time went by, I wanted to make up a story just by watching the two people walking side by side." Shen Chen sat down and poured himself a cup of tea. He raised his eyebrows and asked Wei An, "What do you think about Liu Biping's matter?"
"It's not a good thing." Wei An raised his eyes and looked at him: "It's always a hidden danger."
Even if Liu Biping didn't care whether the Peng family was in trouble or not, he still felt sad that his way of making money was ruined.
For such a person, destroying his way of making money is no different from taking his life.
She was silent for a moment.
Shen Chen knew that she was worried about Liu Biping, so he quickly said, "Don't worry about this. Cut the grass and root it out. Sooner or later, it will be his turn."
Upon hearing this, Wei An looked up at Shen Chen for a long time.
Did Shen Chen think she was anxious
She is in no hurry.
She had heard of Liu Biping in her previous life. He was a capable official, but also very greedy for money.
As long as the Wei family doesn't show their claws again, nothing will happen to this kind of person.
But it was different for Shen Chen.
Shen Chen is about to go to Fujian to serve as the commander of the Maritime Customs.
His going to Fujian was equivalent to robbing Liu Biping of his money.
She sighed and looked at Shen Chen: "Don't pretend to be confused. Do you really not understand, or are you pretending not to understand?"
This time it was Shen Chen's turn to remain silent.
Wei An sighed, put away the constant smile on his face, and looked at Shen Chen seriously: "Did you have a falling out with Princess Linjiang?"
Shen Chen nodded and admitted without hesitation: "I just happened to go home, and she just happened to bring up the old matter again, wanting to make trouble for me. And it just so happened that someone from the palace came to deliver the New Year's rewards today, so I took the opportunity to make a scene. It also gave His Majesty a reason to separate me and return me to the Shen family."
That's quite thoughtful.
Although Shen Chen knew that he was at the banquet, what about Princess Linjiang
I heard that she fell ill that day and went into the palace crying the next day to ask Queen Fang for help.
Shen Chen's reputation was completely ruined.
If it's acting, there's no need to go to this extent.
Princess Linjiang clearly really doesn't like Shen Chen, or maybe it's more than just dislike.
The Shen Chen in front of him was still a beautiful young man. Although his eyes were often dark, he was mostly smiling. However, in the later period of his previous life, Shen Chen was a true killing god who didn't recognize any relatives.
Through the eyes of Shen Chen in front of her, she could almost understand the despair and fatigue in Shen Chen's eyes at the end of his previous life.
She lowered her eyelashes gently and sighed softly.
Then he looked at Shen Chen again: "You are kind-hearted. You know, Prince Linjiang knows, and Chu Jingwu may also know. But what about the prince and your mother, Princess Linjiang?"
She pointed out the problem directly. Seeing Shen Chen suddenly fall silent, she stopped hiding her thoughts. "I have asked people to check my subordinates. The people who are involved in this matter are known. He Sheng and Xing are very capable. They will not make mistakes after checking with Uncle Sun Xing. I just want to remind you that if there is no problem with the people around me, then the only one who leaked the information is your people."
This is really impolite and tricky.
Wei An, however, did not think there was anything wrong. He lowered his head coldly and sneered, "But the prince is not that stupid. Maybe someone else is the one who is stupid."
She knew Shen Chen was always smart.
But the young man in front of her was not as ruthless as he was in his previous life, after being betrayed and deceived. She had to wake him up: "The future is uncertain and the great cause has not been accomplished. It seems a little too early to fight among yourselves now. If it is really found out that it is them, it is for their own good that you pick this abscess early."
This is not something that can be tolerated or compromised.
Shen Chen heaved a long sigh, feeling tired but also a little touched: "I've asked the Third Young Master to check it out."
