If Wei An didn't do what he said, he would probably be killed with a sword - this guy could do it...
Wei An spoke up at the right time, looking very innocent: "But your third uncle has already left. You came here by yourself, how are you going to get back?"
Shen Chen glanced at her playfully. The little girl in front of him was smiling and looked very innocent, but there was clearly no ripple in her eyes. Even her voice was still soft, as if she was afraid of disturbing someone and making a noise.
Wei An lowered his head.
After all, she was not an actress on the stage. She could show all kinds of emotions on her face, such as panic, fear, etc. This person saw through it.
Fortunately, Shen Chen did not pester me any more. He stretched lazily and took his hand away from his waist. His tone was still very impatient: "Why are you looking for Third Uncle? I ran away just to avoid him! Take me to see your master first!"
Wei An readily agreed, thought for a moment, asked Lan He and Yu Qing to go ahead and watch the road, and waited for the patrolling guards to pass before leading Shen Chen to his own room first - there was only one door leading to her yard through the grape trellis, and Nanny Li had already gone to bed, so there was no need to worry about being discovered by others.
When they arrived at Wei An's east wing, Wei An asked the old lady of Lanhe.com to go to the yard first: "See if the old lady has rested..."
After a pause, he instructed Lan He in front of Shen Chen: "Tell the old lady that the grandson of the Qinghe Earl's Mansion got lost while picking bayberries behind our mountain... Wait until there is no one around before asking."
The look in Shen Chen's eyes as he looked at Wei An gradually changed from amusement to complexity.
This was a little girl who looked only about ten years old. She was very cute and smart, but her behavior and aura did not seem like that of an inexperienced child at all.
If it were an ordinary girl, she would definitely be scared to death if she met a strange man who came in front of her, but not only did she not freak out, she even seemed to know who she was...
This feeling was too strange. He waited for Wei An to turn around, then he withdrew his gaze and looked at her with his legs crossed: "I didn't tell you that I am the grandson of the Qinghe Earl's Mansion. How do you know I am?"
"What you need now is, that's it." Wei An knew that some things could not be hidden, so he simply didn't hide them. He sat opposite Shen Chen, looking at Shen Chen's heavy eyes but not feeling scared: "Something happened in Prince Zheng's Mansion today. Young Master Lin led the Jinyiwei to surround our villa and searched it."
Shen Chen didn't say anything, but his brows moved.
Wei An then said: "No matter who you are, you showed up at our villa so late at night. You can't really be here to steal the bayberries from the trees, right? I have never seen a young man wearing such a precious jade pendant and such shabby clothes..."
Are all the girls in Beijing so smart? ! Shen Chen kept smiling, but his heart was in turmoil. The girl in front of him was simply smart!
Lan He had returned outside. She looked like a thief, but her expression was much better than before. She came in and took a look at her daughter. Seeing that Wei An was fine, she said, "The old lady asked you to take someone over."
Wei An stood up after hearing this.
She was not sure whether Mrs. Wei would meet Shen Chen. If she did not, Shen Chen would most likely kill someone in anger and then escape, so she had to pretend to be nice to him first.
Now that the old lady has said so, the idle people going to the main courtyard should have been cleared out.
She led Shen Chen to the old lady's yard. As expected, there was no one on the veranda. Only Qingyu and Baizhi were standing under the corridor. Nanny Hua came forward and personally opened the curtain for Wei An and the others.
The room was eerily quiet, but Shen Chen seemed very relaxed, as if he didn't know what time it was. He smiled and bowed to Old Madam Wei. His attitude was casual but not annoying.
Old Madam Wei first set her sights on Wei An, gave her a deep look before saying, "An An, go out first."
Wei An knew that Old Lady Wei had recognized Shen Chen.
But after recognizing Shen Chen, he still maintained a calm attitude...
Seeing Shen Chen looking at her thoughtfully, she didn't have time to think about it and answered in a low voice, then went out and stood on the corridor to look out. Large patches of crape myrtle were blown into the corridor by the wind. The whole villa seemed to be asleep, and it was eerily quiet.
But she knew that this silence was just an illusion, and there were countless undercurrents hidden underneath.
I wonder how many people will stay awake all night today.
Why didn't Shen Chen go anywhere else but came to the Wei family's villa
Old Madam Wei knew exactly what had happened in Prince Zheng's Mansion and who the Jinyiwei outside were searching for, so why did she keep Shen Chen in the house
She vaguely understood why the King of Chu feared Old Lady Wei in her previous life, and why Wei Yangqing was said to be related to the King of Linjiang. In her previous life, it seemed that after the incident with the King of Zheng in Tongzhou, the attitude of Emperor Longqing towards Old Lady Wei suddenly turned cold, and he no longer cared about her and sent people to visit her all year round...
Now it seems that it was not because of the criticism from the imperial censors in the court, but because of the suspicion that Old Lady Wei was in collusion with Prince Linjiang
She was having a headache from thinking about it, but suddenly the lights outside came on one after another, and along with it came the noise of footsteps and anxious voices.
This is... ...
The courtyard door was pushed open with a creak, and the third master's angry voice came in: "Quick! Quick! Take me to see mother..."
Aunt Hua's expression changed a little. Before she could stop him, Wei An had already stepped forward and stood in front of the Third Master: "What's wrong, Third Uncle?"
The Third Master felt that it was difficult to explain to a little kid like her, so he waved his hands breathlessly. However, Nanny Hua took advantage of the opportunity to go inside.
After a while, the curtain was opened again, and Aunt Hua came out and led the Third Master inside, asking, "What's going on in the middle of the night? The old lady just went to bed..."
The third master's tone was both anxious and nervous: "Don't mention it. Another team of Jinyiwei came outside. We had already searched the place, but they refused to listen and insisted on searching it again..."
Old Madam Wei had already left the main room wearing a coat. She frowned when she heard this: "Who is leading the team?"
"It's Cao Wen!" The Third Master was really scared this time. Although Third Master Lin was ruthless, he had his limits. But Cao Wen was truly a pervert: "I told him Third Master Lin had searched, but he couldn't stop him. He said he was just chasing after someone, and the person just entered our house..."
The Jinyiwei would not reason with others, and Cao Wen would be even less so.
