Chapter 609: Man-made disaster

We can't keep giving in like this.

This is also Wei An’s idea.

Chu Jingxing and Princess Xianrong had used her before to deal with Li Guiniang. Ever since the incident at Tongzhou Manor, these two people had no good intentions towards her.

Most importantly, these two people completely lack empathy and always feel that everyone in the world owes them. They spare no effort to find ways to make things difficult for her.

In fact, Wei An himself could think of the reason - judging from Chu Jingxing's performance in his past and present lives, he simply felt that she was blocking his way and that she was too close to Shen Chen.

This is the same reasoning as in his previous life when he broke off the deal with her, severed the connection between Shen Chen and her, and left her in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion to fend for herself.

If it weren’t for her sworn brother Xie Liangcheng, she might not have been able to take revenge in her previous life when she lost the help of Shen Chen and Linjiang Palace.

In his previous life, Wei An died before he had time to think about so many things.

In this life, she has been tolerant because she wanted to form an alliance with King Linjiang.

But perhaps it was because of this that Chu Jingxing really regarded her as an ant that he could easily step on. He couldn't get angry even if he stepped on her, and he had to send her whole family to be stepped on by him before he could feel satisfied.

But she just wouldn't let him have his way.

She sneered, hummed, and said softly: "It's time to cause them some trouble."

This trouble cannot be a minor one that is insignificant.

Old Madam Wei narrowed her eyes and asked Wei An, "How are you going to cause trouble for them?"

Wei An glanced at King Zheng and said, "I need your help on this."

Old Mrs. Wei went to change her clothes for quite some time. The wife of the Earl of Qinghe could no longer sit still and started chattering to the wife of the Earl of Huairen about her family affairs.

Lady Huairen felt upset when she was thinking about her own family affairs, but when she met Lady Qinghe, she felt that they had something to talk about. Unfortunate people always like to listen to the stories of those who are even more unfortunate, so as to highlight their own advantages and achieve balance.

Before they had said a few words, someone outside said that Old Madam Wei had arrived. Madam Qinghe reluctantly stopped talking, but then she became eager again and asked Old Madam Wei with a smile, "Do you remember what I asked you to do last time?"

Mrs. Wei thought for a moment before she remembered. She suddenly realized something and said, "You mean to go to Fujian to ask about Baohui?"

"That's right." Lady Qinghe nodded quickly. "I've already asked the Concubine Shu, and the Concubine Shu herself can't do anything about him. So what else can I do? I can only give him a concubine."

Since he had a concubine before he had his first wife, other women of equal social status looked down upon Young Master Lin.

If I give birth to a child by then... no one will dare to marry me.

Old Mrs. Wei understood what the wife of the Earl of Qinghe was thinking and had no intention of arguing with her, so she just nodded perfunctorily.

When Lady Qinghe returned home, she happily told her eldest son and daughter-in-law about it.

The eldest son was fine, but the eldest daughter-in-law's face turned pale. She frowned and wanted to say something, but then she heard someone outside say that Third Young Master Lin had returned.

Everyone in the room suddenly held their breath.

The more Young Master Lin was trusted by Emperor Longqing, the more they feared him.

The wife of the Earl of Qinghe smiled brightly, which was rare for her. She told the Third Young Master Lin that she would ask the Wei family to help her find out about Baohui's family affairs. She said softly, "You are not young anymore. It is indeed time for you to get married. I have reported this to the Concubine Shu, and she said that you are old and she is married off. She cannot make the decision for you. Just do what you like. I also thought that since you like that girl so much, I will marry her back to you. However, you cannot have her as your principal wife. You can have her as a concubine. This is the best of both worlds without any delay. What do you think?"

She spoke such a long speech excitedly, but still didn't feel tired. She stared at Young Master Lin with a face full of gloating.

Young Master Lin had an indifferent expression. He did not ask Bao Hui, but instead focused on the Wei family: "Did you go to find the Wei family?"

Will the Wei family continue to go to Fujian

Thinking about what had happened in the palace in the past few days, he seemed to have come to an understanding. He lowered his eyes and glanced at Uncle Lin beside him.

Uncle Lin felt cold all over when he looked at him, and turned his head away while talking to Grandma Lin.

On the other hand, the wife of the Earl of Qinghe kept nodding her head: "That's right. The old lady of the Wei family is so respected and virtuous. When the time comes, she will bring up the idea of giving Baohui to you as a second wife, and no one will say anything."

Young Master Lin had a cold smile on his face. He did not comment. He just called Uncle Lin coldly and whispered, "You should be more careful recently."

Uncle Lin was so frightened by this that his soul flew away. He trembled for a while before asking with a twitching face: "What...what happened?"

News from the Jinyiwei always arrives the fastest, and Young Master Lin is a killing god, so his serious instructions always make people more afraid than moved.

Young Master Lin said nothing, but gave him a meaningful look: "In short, be smart. If you have nothing to do, just ask for leave and don't go to work."

Not even allowed to do a job

What's going on

Just when Uncle Lin wanted to ask for clarification, Young Master Lin had already left. He looked at his mother in confusion and fear, then at his wife, and sat dejectedly in a chair, at a loss as to what to do.

However, the wife of the Earl of Qinghe frowned and said, "You are just being mysterious!"

Grandma Lin coughed lightly, looked at the wife of the Earl of Qinghe seriously and shook her head: "Mother, he is the commander of the Jinyiwei after all..."

The wife of the Earl of Qinghe knew what she meant and sneered indignantly: "Your words are unclear. Do you think I am the worm in his stomach? Who knows whether he has good intentions or bad intentions?!"

Having said that, he didn't tell Uncle Lin not to listen.

Uncle Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

Young Master Lin went straight to Phoenix Terrace.

His recent obsession with Baohui was already known to everyone, so going to Phoenix Terrace was a natural thing to do, so there was no need to hide it.

As soon as he entered the door, someone came to greet him and take him to Tianxiang Garden.

Halfway through his walk, he took the path to Tianxiang Garden and went into the bushes nearby. He soon bypassed Jinxiu Garden and arrived at Fangfei Garden, and then went all the way to the top floor.

Shen Chen had been waiting for him for a long time. When he saw him, he smiled and said, "Why are you so late?"

Young Master Lin did not speak. He sat opposite him, took a sip of tea, and then raised his eyelids to look at him: "Why do you say that?" "It's not that serious, is it?" Shen Chen rolled up his hands, coughed, and stopped: "Is it really man-made?"

They were talking about the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince was foaming at the mouth and twitching uncontrollably. It took a long time for him to calm down. Queen Fang cried bitterly. With the testimony of the palace maids and Kong Gongfeng, she said that someone had deliberately poisoned the Fourth Prince in an attempt to murder him.

There may not have been poisoning, but there may have been murder.
