The tragedy of the previous life must not be repeated. No matter whether it is Shen Chen or Xie Liangcheng, those who once extended a hand to her, fulfilled her wishes, and helped her to avenge her, she will not let anything happen to them again.
After a moment of silence, she saw that Shen Chen and Young Master Lin had obviously reached some kind of tacit understanding, so they stopped joking and asked Shen Chen, "How is the Linjiang Palace going now?"
Young Master Lin raised his eyebrows and looked at her imperceptibly, his eyes swept over Shen Chen - in theory, this was not something Wei An should ask, after all, it was Shen Chen's family affair.
She and Shen Chen did not have a very close relationship, and asking such questions as a friend was too intrusive and rude.
Or, was their relationship actually better than he thought
Shen Chen really didn't think there was anything wrong. He sat down next to Wei An, first replaced a cup of boiling hot tea for Wei An, and then poured one for himself. After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's just muddle through."
Wei An lowered his eyes and looked at the tea leaves in his cup floating and expanding with the boiling hot water, and understood what Shen Chen meant. After all, he was raised by the King of Linjiang, and even if Chu Jingxing did such a thing, he would not press on to take Chu Jingxing's life.
Otherwise, not to mention that Princess Linjiang hated him to the core all her life, even Chu Jingwu might not really not mind at all.
How difficult it is to be a human being.
But we can't say that Princess Linjiang was wrong. People always have emotions and desires, and since they have those emotions, they will have many little thoughts. It's not wrong for her to hope that her husband would care more about his own son.
After a pause, Wei An picked up the teacup and took a sip. After thinking for a while, he asked him, "But even if the beast is trapped in a cage, the cage won't be able to hold it forever. What are your plans for the future?"
Shen Chen took the opportunity to fall out with the Prince of Linjiang's Mansion. On the surface, in the eyes of Emperor Longqing and others, he hated the Prince of Linjiang's unfair treatment and the Princess of Linjiang's partiality.
But in fact, he still wanted to help King Linjiang get money.
Wei An did not doubt Shen Chen's ability, but what would happen after he got the money
Not to mention that there is still a tough battle to fight against Liu Biping before that, just talking about how to face Chu Jingxing after completing it
It remains to be seen whether they can work together in the future. At the end of the previous life, Chu Jingxing still had to use the mission to eliminate Shen Chen and clear the obstacles in front of him.
In this life, when their conflict has already erupted prematurely, can we expect him to become gentle and change his ways
"If you want Chu Jingxing to have a change of heart and finally get along with your brother, it's unlikely." Lin Sanshao cruelly reminded Wei An of what he wanted to say but didn't say. He turned the ring on his hand and said in a firm but calm voice: "Why don't you think about the way out?"
Young Master Lin and Shen Chen are friends who have stood together for life.
They all lost their mothers at a young age, and their lives were not very happy.
Compared to the relationship between Shen Chen and Chu Jingwu, perhaps it's not much worse.
There was nothing to hide in front of Young Master Lin. Shen Chen sighed deeply and hummed, "My father has replaced the people around him. He is not allowed to participate in the affairs of the palace recently. The things he is doing are given to Jing Wu and Jing An. For the time being, he has to be busy regaining my father's favor and has no time to care about me."
He is a smart man, and smart people know how to calculate the pros and cons. Now that King Linjiang is on the verge of a rage, he will not take the risk of angering King Linjiang and taking advantage of Chu Jingwu and Chu Jingan at this time.
It turns out Shen Chen has known it all along.
Wei An said no more.
Shen Chen wanted to know why she came to see Lin Sanshao, so he thought about it and asked her, "Is it because of Zhao Qi's matter?"
Wei An was a little confused. When she came to her senses, she realized that Shen Chen was asking about the reason why she was looking for Young Master Lin, so she nodded.
Shen Chen smiled slyly with his eyes bent, "I came here to tell you about this. Didn't I tell you before that I asked someone to check for you? In addition to the Third Young Master, I also asked Xue Song to go there."
Wei An remembered that Shen Chen had offered to help her investigate the matter. She thought of something and asked immediately, "What did you find out?"
"Yongzhou Prefecture was hit by a banditry at the end of November." Shen Chen sat down again and looked at Wei An. Without stopping for a moment, he told Wei An everything he had found out. "The banditry was very serious. I heard that the bandits who had fled from Jiangxi and Hunan to Yongzhou Prefecture were committing murder, arson and looting. The Hubei governor was furious and ordered the entire city of Yongzhou to be under martial law. He also ordered the Yongzhou prefect to investigate the case strictly and not to neglect it."
Bandits... ... The news that came back earlier was that Xie Liangqing had been attacked by bandits, and his whereabouts were unknown.
Now the bandits are causing trouble again. Could it be that Mr. Xie wants to frame the bandits for the deaths of Xie Liangcheng and Xie Liangqing? This can be regarded as revenge for sending them to death in Yongzhou.
But Wei An immediately shook his head and denied his guess.
It won't be that simple.
I'm afraid Mr. Xie doesn't just think this way.
He already hated Mr. Xie San so much that last time he made this noble young man Xie Liangqing become as miserable as a street beggar and die miserably. How could his revenge be so easy next time after his failure
She thought about it and her expression changed a little.
As soon as Shen Chen saw her expression, he knew that she had guessed it, and nodded to confirm her idea.
"Those bandits were caught later. According to their confession, they often went down the mountain to kidnap people. Those who were willing to become bandits were considered brothers, and those who were unwilling were killed on the spot." Shen Chen cleared his throat and lowered his voice a little, as if he was afraid of scaring Wei An: "On the seventh day of this month, the prefect of Yongzhou led the soldiers to personally encircle and suppress the group of bandits. Among them... were the Xie brothers who had been regarded as accomplices by the bandits."
Wei An closed his eyes in disbelief.
She asked why there was no news coming back.
How could Tan Xi have expected that the Xie brothers had been abducted by bandits.
This is the cruelest revenge.
Regardless of whether the Xie brothers were really persuaded by the bandits or not, they were able to stay in the bandits' territory and enjoy good food and drink with the bandits.
They will never be able to wash away this stain.
"My news was faster than theirs because Xuesong went there in person. He has some connections with the son-in-law of the Yongzhou prefect." Shen Chen spoke faster: "So the Xie family should not know about it yet."
By the time the truth is revealed, it will be too late. Even Third Master Xie himself will be reported, and his reputation will be completely ruined, and he will never be able to gain a foothold in the officialdom or in the Xie family again.
And what about Mr. Xie
What about the Xie family
They will not be affected too much because they just need to reveal the truth about who Mr. Xie San's biological mother is.
