Whenever Shen Chen wants to do something, usually no one can stop him. And perhaps because his reputation for getting things done is widely known, others always think that anything he does is reliable.
When Chu Jingxing received the news from Peiming saying that Shen Chen had returned home, he did not react at all.
He was choosing a New Year gift for Lady Xianrong. He had always been good at pleasing girls, and Lady Xianrong happened to like him easily at first sight. Although he didn't need to put too much thought into it, if he could make his wife agree with him, it would be better for her to go through thick and thin with him.
He is different from the Peng family. The Peng family has been controlling people's hearts for too long, and over time they have even forgotten the most important thing, empathy, and only take asking for things for granted.
But he is definitely not such a person and would never make such a mistake.
After he had chosen, he slowly told Pei'an to pack the things carefully, turned around and hung the pen on the pen holder, and said "oh" softly.
With some nonchalance, some ridicule and sarcasm: "Has he finally decided to come back?"
Didn’t you say you would never bow your head
A few days ago, he had a big fight with Princess Linjiang. Princess Linjiang went to the palace and cried for Queen Fang to make the decision, but was scolded by Prince Linjiang.
They said she was petty, ruined Shen Chen's reputation, and was unkind.
What did King Linjiang say at that time
Prince Linjiang said that Shen Chen lost his parents at a young age and it was not easy for him. Now Emperor Longqing asked him to separate from the family and return to the Shen family to recognize his ancestors, so they should not be cold and distant to him.
But anyone who uses their brains will know how heartless this statement is.
Has anyone abused Shen Chen over the years
Princess Linjiang was perhaps a little dissatisfied at first because of Princess Changle, and was a little cold to Shen Chen, but she changed her mind later. Moreover, Shen Chen had everything that their brothers had.
There's nothing wrong with saying this.
It is nonsense to say that Shen Chen would be sad.
What is there for him to be sad about
Just because his parents died, everyone had to give in to him and pamper him. What else could he be dissatisfied with
It has been said that Shen Chen would not be willing to leave the comfortable home of Linjiang Palace, and now he has returned as expected, hasn’t he
Peiming lowered his head, looking at Chu Jingxing with a frightened face, and said hesitantly after a while: "Sir, Zheng Si is missing.
Zheng Si is Chu Jingxing's bodyguard.
This time, he was the one who personally notified Liu Biping. Chu Jingxing was worried about others doing it.
Chu Jingxing keenly connected Shen Chen's return with Zheng Si's disappearance, and immediately frowned and looked at him coldly: "You mean, Shen Chen came back this time for this matter?"
But just because he wanted to get things done without leaving any trace, he changed his mind and asked Zheng Si to go to Fujian in person to inform Liu Biping. Even Liu Biping himself didn't know who tipped him off, so how could Shen Chen know
Pei Ming's voice couldn't be lowered any lower: "Prince... ... didn't you have someone follow Princess Shouning and the Prince? Princess Shouning went to Phoenix Terrace yesterday, and not long after that Third Master Lin also went there. Not long after that... ... Zheng Si was called away, and he hasn't come back yet..."
Chu Jingxing was so angry that the pen in his hand broke heavily. He immediately turned around and shouted angrily: "Waste!"
Then he suppressed his anger and asked, "Why didn't you report it immediately when something so serious happened?!"
Peiming felt a little aggrieved.
He wanted to report back, but the Crown Prince went to the palace yesterday. After leaving the palace, he did not return to the palace. Instead, he went out with the officials from the Ministry of Rites to visit Mei Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy.
When he returned home today, he wanted to report, but the prince went to the prince and princess first.
Besides, who would have connected this matter with Shen Chen before
Zheng Si has hands and feet, and his martial arts skills are so high.
Chu Jingxing quickly realized that getting angry was not the solution to the problem, so he suppressed his anger and asked him calmly, "Where is Shen Chen?"
No matter what, even if Shen Chen found some clues through Young Master Lin and then called Zheng Si over, he might not be able to get anything out of him.
Zheng Si was his man, loyal and reliable. Without his order, even if Shen Chen killed him, it would be difficult to get anything out of him.
But I still have to go and meet Shen Chen.
When he heard Peiming carefully report that Shen Chen had gone to Chu Jingwu's yard, he immediately got up and went to Chu Jingwu.
But when he arrived, Shen Chen had already left early, saying that he had something to do. He didn't even pay a visit to Prince Linjiang and Princess Linjiang, and just left, as if he was going to do something big.
Chu Jingxing suppressed his anxiety and frowned as he asked Chu Jingwu, "What's wrong with him? His mother is worried about him day and night and cries all the time, but he didn't even go to greet his mother when he got home. Could it be that he wants to be disobedient and unfilial?!"
Chu Jingwu glanced at him coldly and smiled sarcastically: "Why is mother not getting along with my second brother? Don't you know it clearly? You did something wrong yourself, and you still have the nerve to blame others for your bad temper?!"
What Chu Jingwu was actually talking about was the matter of Princess Linjiang stuffing a maid into Shen Chen's lap, but to Chu Jingxing, it sounded like he was making a veiled complaint.
He stared at Chu Jingwu coldly, and after a while he spoke: "What did he say to you?"
Chu Jingwu didn't say anything, just concentrated on organizing his things. It wasn't until Chu Jingxing asked again with a stronger tone that he turned around and replied reluctantly, "He didn't ask anything. He just asked me if Zheng Si had been away from home recently."
Chu Jingxing immediately frowned.
Young Master Lin actually said this to Shen Chen.
He hummed, and asked Chu Jingwu suspiciously: "You should ask me about this, why are you asking you alone?"
Chu Jingwu sneered: "If I ask you, will you tell me?"
This was really impolite. If it was Chu Jingxing on a normal day, he would have immediately run away, but this time he stayed for the first time. After a while, he asked again: "What's wrong with you?"
Chu Jingwu turned around and looked at him, sizing him up and down. "Of course I'm telling the truth. I don't know if Zheng Si has been away from home, so I'll just say I don't know."
Shen Chen really noticed something.
Chu Jingxing turned around and left. As soon as he got out of the door, he immediately told Pei An to go find Zheng Si secretly, while he took Pei Ming to Fenghuangtai to meet Shen Chen.
Shen Chen first said that he was busy, but when he insisted on meeting, someone from Fang Feiyuan came down after a long time and asked him to come up and talk.
