He glanced at Lin Sanshao and coughed: "In my opinion, it's best not to use this method."
Young Master Lin glanced at him indifferently, obviously thinking that he was too soft-hearted again, and couldn't help but sneer: "You are soft-hearted again and again, but you haven't seen him back down. If you let him do whatever he wants, he will definitely become lawless."
"That's not the case." Shen Chen knew what he meant, but he was not angry. He shook his head calmly: "I'm not soft-hearted towards him and want to give him a way out. It's just that you don't understand this person."
Wei An extended his hand to ask them to sit down, and asked Wen Xiu to come in and change the tea.
Shen Chen said slowly: "After so many things, I believe you have also discovered that this person is very paranoid and very different from ordinary people. If you retaliate against him, he will not feel any pain. He will only feel that he has lost and will try his best to find ways to retaliate. This is his character. Even if you find out those prostitutes and the owner of the teahouse, what will happen? What if you find out that it was done by someone in the palace? He can find a scapegoat with just his hands and push the matter away. And killing people around him has been going on for so long, can't you see that it has no effect on him? To put it bluntly and realistically, maybe even the Fairy Princess died in front of him, and he wouldn't even blink if he needed to."
This kind of person has no empathy. If you retaliate, he will feel that he has hurt you and he will only feel happy.
Wei An, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up. He looked at Third Master Lin and nodded, "What he said is just like the last time I designed to ruin his reputation, he used the same method to deal with Third Master Xie. He was just doing it for me to see. He was telling me that I ruined his reputation, so he made me suffer the same pain."
Young Master Lin raised his eyebrows and glanced at Shen Chen. Seeing that he seemed to be thinking about something, he asked him, "Then what do you have in mind?"
"No, I have no other options." Shen Chen coughed, "Just wait for Chu Jingxing to reach out."
Young Master Lin didn't quite understand what he meant. He thought for a moment before asking, "You mean, scheming against Third Master Xie is just the beginning, and he will have more actions next?"
Isn't this inevitable
Shen Chen hummed, feeling his throat was very dry, so he cleared his throat and said, "You also said that Princess Chang'an has been entering the palace too frequently recently. This must be the result of Chu Jingxing's instructions. He is brewing a final counterattack."
If that is the case, then what role does Hu Changshi play in coming to the capital
Young Master Lin frowned and asked him without hesitation: "There is one more thing. Shen Chen did so many things under the nose of Hu Changshi, but Hu Chang really didn't know anything about it?"
"I find it strange, too." Shen Chen told them honestly, "If it was once or twice, it would be fine, but Chu Jingxing has seen Princess Chang'an too many times, and Hu Changshi was ordered by my father to keep a close eye on his every move. Under such circumstances, it is understandable that he went to visit his relatives for one or two days, but he was gone for seven or eight days without caring about anything. This is really unbelievable."
It's too suspicious.
Third Young Master Lin smiled with an ambiguous meaning: "Your father sent a special envoy and he was subdued by Chu Jingxing. I don't know whether to say that Chu Jingxing is powerful or that your father miscalculated."
Since the matter involved Wei An, Young Master Lin couldn't remain absolutely calm.
To him, these mistakes and omissions were simply intolerable.
Shen Chen obviously had the same idea. He didn't say anything, but just said, "We'll soon know what he wants to do. There's no need to be too anxious."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei An's maid Lan He came in through the curtain and said that Prince Zheng had arrived, and invited them all to come over and talk.
Today's arrival is quite complete.
The Third Lady glanced at everyone and asked Mrs. Wei in some embarrassment: "Originally, we said that we would hold a banquet tonight to celebrate the prince's farewell. Now, what do you think..."
Old Madam Wei was also a little embarrassed. She glanced at them, coughed, and said, "Let's set up two tables for lunch, and the evening banquet will remain the same."
The Third Madam responded with a "yes" and was about to leave when Qingyu came in again, coughed and said, "Third Madam, Madam Kong is here and said that the wife of the Marquis of Ping'an is here. Please go out and greet her."
Mrs. Ping'an
The Third Madam didn't react for a moment, and after a while she asked, "You said, Madam Ping An Hou?"
But the two families have never had any dealings with each other, let alone any friendship.
Why is the wife of Marquis Ping'an here out of the blue
Looking at the room full of people filled with Old Lady Wei, the Third Lady could only sigh softly, and came out to ask Madam Kong to confirm that it was indeed the wife of Marquis Ping An. She then became a little puzzled: "We have never been friends before, and she has never sent a letter. Why did she come to my house for no reason?"
No matter how you look at it, this is somewhat rude. After all, the Ping'an Marquis's Mansion is an old noble family. How could they make such a mistake
Madam Kong also responded, "Yes, I was shocked when I received the news, so I hurried to find you."
No matter what, since they were here, there was no point in sending them away. The Third Madam nodded, packed up, and hurried back to her own courtyard. As expected, she saw the wife of the Marquis of Ping'an standing up, so she quickly smiled and said, "Madam, I am really sorry for having you here. I am sorry for being so rude."
"What are you talking about?" The wife of the Marquis of Ping'an also laughed: "I am so rude to bother you without sending you a letter in advance. I am the one who is being rude and impolite."
She explained it so clearly that the Third Lady felt a little embarrassed. She quickly asked for tea and then asked with a smile, "I wonder what the Marquis is here for?"
The wife of the Marquis of Ping An waved her hand and said, "To be honest, I came here to bother you because I want to see the old lady. I know the old lady hasn't seen outsiders for a long time, so I would like to ask you to introduce her to me."
She lowered her head and smiled, saying, "Although we can be considered as close friends, we haven't had any contact for many years. I dare not be so arrogant and want to send her a letter, but I think even if I accept the letter, she may not be willing to see me. Why not ask you to introduce me to her?"
The Third Lady was even more surprised. She had never heard that the wife of Marquis Ping'an had any history with her own old lady. She was shocked and thought for a moment before she smiled and said, "If that's the case, I'll go over and ask the old lady what she thinks. Please wait a moment."
After the Marquis of Ping'an's wife agreed, she came out and said to Madam Kong in bewilderment, "This is strange. I've been married for so many years, and I've never heard of any friendship between the old lady and the Marquis of Ping'an. Now, for no reason..."
