Prince Consort Yuan had already followed Qingfeng upstairs. Xuesong stopped and glanced at him before patting Hanbo on the shoulder to comfort him: "These things can't be rushed. Just let it go and don't think too much about it."
There's no point in thinking about it.
Shen Chen was obviously the same as him and didn't think too much about Princess Linjiang.
When he saw Prince Consort Yuan, he smiled, stretched out his hand as a gesture for him to sit down, and then made tea himself.
Prince Consort Yuan sat down opposite him and saw him brewing, dispensing and pouring tea in one go, and he couldn't help but admire him. He added, "Sure enough, what they said is right. You, Shen Chen, have it all. That's why even a playboy can be so lovable."
Shen Chen couldn't help but smile, and reached out to pour him a cup of tea: "I wonder if what Prince Consort said about me is a compliment or sarcasm?"
Prince Consort Yuan took a sip of tea, was silent for a moment and then laughed: "Of course I am praising you. What good would it be for me to mock you? I just want to tell you that I am really sorry for what happened this time... Ah Sheng is used to being willful, and she is sincere to Chu Jingxing. When she heard about his death, she couldn't control herself for a while..."
As he spoke, he felt that this reason was too far-fetched and closed his mouth in embarrassment.
After all, it was not Shen Chen who escalated the war and made it irreversible, and it was not Shen Chen who was aggressive from the beginning and wanted to force people into a desperate situation. He was just fighting back out of helplessness in the end. After all, the fault was not his.
But Lady Xianrong and the others made the mistake themselves and were not as skilled as others, yet they refused to let go. Even at the very end they were still thinking about how to make trouble for others. This is unacceptable in any way.
Princess Xianrong is still unaware of the external situation and is still cursing all day long, but Prince Consort Yuan knows everything clearly. He knows that Prince Linjiang now values Shen Chen more and more, and he also knows that Shen Chen even pleases Emperor Longqing, who has entrusted him with important tasks.
Given the current situation, how can Princess Xianrong fight Shen Chen
Not to mention her, didn't her mother, Princess Chang'an, also end up losing everything
He stared at Shen Chen for a long while before he spoke out the purpose of his visit: "I'm going to take Ah Sheng and Hong Wen away."
Shen Chen stopped what he was doing and looked up at him: "Really? Where are you going with your lover?"
Prince Consort Yuan was a little surprised. He thought Shen Chen would not let them go - after all, Princess Xianrong's identity was very special, and he knew a lot of things.
If taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives, all that Shen Chen had worked so hard to gain would be wasted.
But from Shen Chen's tone, he didn't seem surprised or opposed at all.
He was surprised for a moment, then told the truth: "I have decided to return to the Yuan family's ancestral home. After so many years, I always feel that it is hard to leave my hometown. After being a prince consort in the capital for so many years, I still feel that I was happiest when I was a child in my ancestral home. Ah Sheng is in poor health, and Hong Wen has no ambitions. There is no benefit in staying in the capital. It will only bring trouble. It is better to go home and live an ordinary life."
Shen Chen hummed: "That's good."
After he finished speaking, he asked again: "When are you leaving?"
Prince Consort Yuan was a little overwhelmed for a moment, and after a moment's hesitation he said, "I plan to discuss it with you before setting a date."
After all, Shen Chen is now the real person in charge of the Linjiang Palace in the capital. If he wants to take Yuan Hongwen and Xianrong County Master away, he has to ask him first.
Shen Chen seemed to have thought of this as well. He said calmly, "It's better to leave. I'm afraid the capital city won't be peaceful recently. It's better to avoid it if possible."
He said this, and seeing Prince Consort Yuan Mengdew raise his head, he said to him: "Prince Consort, don't worry that I won't let you go. In fact, what you are worried about is that Princess Xianrong is too deeply entangled. She hates me to the core. Now that she can write a letter to the Linjiang Palace, she may really go to the emperor to file a complaint next time she has a chance, and kill everyone in the palace. The only person she cares about is Chu Jingxing. If Chu Jingxing dies, she will certainly not worry about any consequences."
Shen Chen concluded: "So it's better to leave earlier. After leaving, these things will not happen."
He seemed to be talking to himself, but Prince Consort Yuan knew that he was waiting for his answer. After a moment of silence, he nodded hurriedly: "Yes... Now that we are back home, I will teach them well in the future. They will never come back to the capital."
Shen Chen smiled without saying anything. He took out a brocade bag from the drawer and handed it to Prince Consort Yuan. Then he said, "Just get through this period of time. After a few years, maybe we won't have to worry about whether Princess Xianrong wants to talk or not."
There were too many profound meanings in this sentence. Prince Consort Yuan did not respond for a moment. He calmed down for a while before tightening the brocade bag in his hand and asked him: "I heard that you are going to Fujian, be careful."
He sincerely hopes that Shen Chen is safe.
Although Shen Chen is ruthless, he is also paradoxically very kind-hearted.
It is true that he killed Princess Chang'an and Chu Jingxing, but he really kept his promise and did not do anything to Princess Xianrong who had caused him a lot of trouble. This proves that he is a man who honors his promises.
No wonder he can win the favor of so many people, probably this is the key.
Thinking of Chu Jingxing, who was hated and sabotaged by Xiao Mingyu and others, he frowned unconsciously again.
Besides hating Shen Chen, the thing that Princess Xianrong hated the most was Wei An. Now that she thought about it, her daughter was really stupid. Not only was she unable to judge people, but she was not as good as Wei An in choosing men.
How many times stronger is the Shen Chen in front of him than the weak Chu Jingxing
If she had chosen Shen Chen at the beginning, she wouldn't have ended up like this.
Of course, these things can only be thought about in his mind. After he finished speaking, he stood up and said goodbye to Shen Chen.
Shen Chen also stood up and walked for a while. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Young Master Lin standing in the courtyard.
Young Master Lin was still the same as before, with cold eyes and eyebrows. When he saw Prince Consort Yuan, he just greeted him lightly and said to him, "I heard that the county lady sent a letter outside. It's very chaotic outside now. Please persuade the county lady more. If she keeps doing this, I'm afraid it will bring disaster."
Prince Consort Yuan's face immediately changed. Young Master Lin's words clearly showed that he knew about Yuan Sheng's letter to Princess Linjiang. He hurriedly stopped and responded, then said as if to assure her, "I have decided to take my children back to my hometown. We will leave tomorrow. Sheng is not in good health, and returning home will be good for her health. The same goes for Hong Wen. Although his hometown won't allow him to do what he wants in the capital, he will like it after a while."
