Han Bo followed him happily and continued to chatter: "That's right, my Lord, you should be tougher, otherwise people will look down on you."
Shen Chen ignored him, but he didn't feel bored. He kept thinking of ways to solve the problem. Sometimes he thought that Wei An seemed to like flowers, so he should bring a few pots of famous flowers. Then he remembered that Wei An had said that he thought the food at Fenghuang Tower was good, so he could send the chef as well.
As he was speaking, he looked up, but when he did he was stunned.
Shen Chen went neither to Prince Zheng's Mansion nor to Marquis Dingbei's Mansion, but to a private house.
What is he doing here for no reason
He didn't remember Shen Chen having been to such a place before.
Shen Chen told him, "Go up and knock on the door. If they ask you who you are, tell them the truth."
Han Bo said dejectedly, then walked over to knock on the door. A middle-aged man in his forties came out. He looked strong and had learned martial arts. Han Bo felt that it was a little unreasonable for this man to appear in such an ordinary house, so he immediately perked up: "My master wants to see you."
The middle-aged man looked him up and down, and asked him with a bit of coldness: "Who is your master?"
"Pingxi Hou Shen Chen." Han Bo quickly replied: "My master said that your master would like to see him, so please inform him."
The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows, obviously shocked by the identity. After a moment, he said, "Wait a moment," and closed the door.
Han Bo came up to look at his own master with a curious look, and asked him hastily: "Who lives here? Could it be that they are the princess's people, just like Tan Xi and the others?"
Xuesong pulled him.
I heard him talk about this matter countless times throughout the night, and I really couldn't stand it anymore.
Not long after, the door opened again, and the middle-aged man poked his head out from inside. He then opened the door again, made room, and gestured: "Our master invites you in."
Shen Chen smiled and nodded, then walked straight into the door.
This is an ordinary house, but once you enter you'll find it's not real or ordinary.
There is a patio in the middle of the yard. Along the wall, there is a row of green bamboos, dotted with unknown small flowers. Ground ivy is crawling all over the rose rack and onto the eaves and windowsills. Everywhere is full of vitality.
When illuminated by the dim light, it looks even more shocking and amazing.
Even Han Bo couldn't help but sigh, and turned back to mutter to Xuesong: "It seems like he is an otherworldly expert."
Isn't that what those hermits like, living like this, looking at flowers and grass, and living without eating or drinking water
Xue Song told him to shut up in annoyance.
Shen Chen was already walking towards the person who came out to greet him, smiling, and clenched his fist and shouted, "Uncle."
The word "uncle" stunned them both instantly. Xuesong and Hanbo looked up in disbelief, and after seeing the man's face, they couldn't help but gasp.
What's going on
It turned out to be Yuan Dong! The former consort of Princess Chang'an!
The reason why I said "before" is because Yuan Dong no longer admits that he is the prince consort.
According to Princess Changle's way of addressing, Shen Chen should be called uncle.
But it was clear that the uncle was not very happy. After hearing this address, his eyelids twitched slightly, and then he returned to normal: "You're welcome, please don't call me like that. It's strange."
Are you still unfamiliar with calling me like this
Shen Chen thought about it and called out again seriously, "Uncle."
If he were to address her according to the way things were done in the Linjiang Palace, he would indeed be calling Princess Chang'an aunt, and if he were to address Yuan Dong, he would naturally be calling him uncle.
Yuan Dong almost stumbled and finally turned around with a half-smile and looked at Shen Chen, "Marquis Pingxi has always been a smart man. Smart people don't need to hide things from each other. You are not so bored that you deliberately disgust me, right?"
He nodded to the middle-aged man next to him, and the middle-aged man stepped back.
Yuan Dong led Shen Chen inside, saying, "I don't need to tell you what's going on with me now, you know it well. Since I have nothing to do with them anymore, I can't afford to be blamed by my uncle and aunt."
Shen Chen said "oh" with a grin, and sat down with Yuan Dong. He looked around the room with a smile, and praised him: "Since you left there, you seem to be getting better and better."
Naturally, an abnormal marriage is a torture and bondage for everyone.
Besides, which man likes his wife to cheat on him while he has to obey her
Yuan Dong didn't say anything.
Shen Chen was not discouraged, he changed the subject and laughed again: "It's just that there is one thing I still feel is a bit too much."
He looked at Yuan Dong and asked him, "I wonder if Yuan Hongwen and Yuan Sheng are your biological children?"
Yuan Dong paused for a moment while pouring the tea, and then looked at Shen Chen expressionlessly and asked him: "What do you want to say?"
"I don't mean to say anything, I just wanted to ask on a whim." He smiled and said, "I heard that Hong Wen's marriage with the Xiao family has been cancelled, and they dare not even bring it up. Although Yuan Sheng married Chu Jingxing, her life doesn't seem to be so smooth. Recently, Chu Jingxing is about to stop being a prince..."
It was obvious that Yuan Dong knew all these things. His fingers tightened little by little, tightly holding the teacup. He looked at Shen Chen unkindly and interrupted him coldly: "What do you want to say?"
Shen Chen knew that he had said almost everything. He took the purple clay teapot from his hand and filled his cup with tea bit by bit before saying, "What can I do? I just want to remind you that it seems that you only have these two biological children. Unfortunately, after the second master got into trouble, the second wife decided not to stay with him. The second wife only has one son left, and it is obviously impossible for him to be adopted by you in the future. How difficult it is to raise a child..."
Yuan Dong was confused and couldn't help asking, "Why should I adopt someone else's child? My own son is still alive and well!"
He was already very excited, but Shen Chen still had that leisurely attitude. He looked at him with an "oh" and said directly without any hesitation: "Of course he is still alive now, but in a while, whether he will still be alive or not, I may not know, don't you think?!"
"How dare you!" Yuan Dong couldn't stand it any longer and slammed the table hard with one hand, and the tea on the table spilled all over.
Xuesong and Hanbo looked at each other outside the door, and both of them felt a little panicked.
What exactly did my master say to Prince Consort Yuan? Why is Prince Consort Yuan banging the table and throwing chairs now
