Young Master Lin raised his eyebrows without commenting, but in the end he didn't say anything else. He nodded, said "bon voyage", and went straight upstairs.
Lou Bing didn't go upstairs as usual. When he saw Han Bo in the yard, he quickly approached him and asked, "I heard that your Marquis went to the palace and met Princess Yonghe? What did the princess say to the Marquis? Did she express her feelings to the Marquis?"
Han Bo glared at him unhappily and said, "I know that you Jinyiwei have great powers, but I didn't expect that you would be interested in these things. Do you even know how many times my Lord went to the toilet today?"
Xuesong and the others are reserved, and only Hanbo is the most straightforward person. He always says what he wants to say. He has felt sorry for Shen Chen for a long time. His lord has finally met a girl he likes, and if she is abducted by someone else, who knows when the next one will be. He cannot let others get there first.
Even Young Master Lin, who has a very good relationship with the Marquis, cannot do that.
Lou Bing couldn't help but curl his lips and snorted: "Why are you so proud? I'm just curious and asking, it's not a big deal." After saying that, he leaned forward again: "Isn't Her Royal Highness Princess deeply in love with the Marquis? Actually, if you think about it carefully, Her Royal Highness Princess is not bad..."
It would be fine if he didn't talk about this. As soon as he talked about this, Han Bo couldn't help but explode: "What's good about it? Her Highness the Princess is a princess!"
Although he likes to talk a lot, he is not stupid and he knows the difference between Chu and Han very well.
Our Marquis is on the side of Prince Linjiang, so he will definitely fall out with Emperor Longqing, or at least become his enemy. If he really gets together with Princess Yonghe, won't our family be in turmoil in the future
The Marquis has been miserable enough. He lost his parents when he was young and grew up with adoptive parents. Although the prince is a good person, the princess made the Marquis suffer a lot.
When I grew up, I met a brother who looked down on others and was kind to them. It was with great difficulty that I managed to hold on until now.
Han Bo certainly hopes that he can have a new home with the person he loves and live happily from then on.
Lou Bing has the same mentality.
Han Bo was concerned about Shen Chen. He was as worried about Shen Chen as he was about Young Master Lin.
Although Third Master Lin didn't say it, as his confidant, he could see that Third Master Lin had not let go of Wei An.
But these things can't be settled just by his words. He sighed and said, "Okay, okay, I just said it casually. Why take it so seriously?"
Han Bo was still in a bad mood: "Can you just say these words casually? If it really works, will it be yours or mine?"
Lou didn't want to argue with him: "We both have the same idea. It's hard for you, and it's hard for me too. Let's not make things difficult for each other!"
"But then again," Han Bo continued, "You're right. We're just worried about them."
But Young Master Lin and Shen Chen obviously didn't realize that they were too worried about themselves.
After entering the building, Young Master Lin walked to the terrace and sat down, looking at the flowers planted by Shen Chen. He then said, "Prince Consort Yuan is here to say goodbye to you. Is he going back to his hometown?"
Shen Chen hummed, and did not hide it from him: "Yuan Sheng was panicked after what happened, so I just let him go. Yuan Sheng would be a calamity if he stayed in the capital, and I will have someone keep an eye on them when they return to their hometown."
Young Master Lin watched Shen Chen making tea and asked coldly, "Even if we ask someone to watch her, do you think they can do it? She is in Phoenix Tower, and she can still send letters under our noses. Do you think Prince Consort Yuan can control her? Besides, can she really be willing to stay in her hometown for the rest of her life? It is very difficult for people who are used to living a good life to fall from the clouds all of a sudden and go back to their old life."
Shen Chen understood what he meant, smiled and said: "I know you are afraid that I will let the tiger go back to the mountain, but do you have a better way now? It's not the time to offend Yuan Dong. I will have people watch over him as much as possible. If one day I really can't keep an eye on him... then Prince Consort Yuan will naturally know what to do and won't blame us too much. No matter what, we still have to make a gesture first, don't you think?"
Young Master Lin was just afraid that he would be soft-hearted again, and seeing that he knew everything, he naturally stopped talking about it and no longer brought up the topic, but only talked about what happened today.
"The emperor ordered our Jinyiwei to go south with the people from the Ministry of Revenue." Young Master Lin cleared his throat and saw that Shen Chen had no expression on his face, so he said, "We are going to sort out the salt tax. Those people are difficult to deal with, and I'm afraid we will have to clean up a lot of people this time."
Shen Chen smiled and asked him, "Are you here to complain to me?" He paused, and smiled even more brightly, "It's a pity that I can't help you. You are difficult to deal with, and I am even more difficult to deal with. Liu Biping hates me to the core. There is already an old grudge, and now there is a new grudge. He will never allow me to go to Fujian to disrupt his plans. It is very likely that I will die before I even get to Fujian."
The two knew each other very well, so there was no need to hide anything from each other. Young Master Lin smiled indifferently, "You are a very smart person. Don't you know what Liu Biping will do? Since you dare to fight, it means you are well prepared. That's why I don't trust you so easily."
Shen Chen's tea was almost brewed. He reached out to pour a cup for Lin Sanshao and couldn't help but sneered: "You said that as if I can do everything. How can it be that easy? Liu Biping has caused a terrible disaster this time. Even if the court did not attack Fujian, doesn't he know what happened in Zhejiang? I don't know if I am really going to punish him or to raise military funds? If he was really a fool, he wouldn't have come to this point today. I really risked my life this time, you know."
Young Master Lin stopped talking.
When Shen Chen gets serious, his temperament is completely different from usual, which makes people very nervous.
He was silent for a moment before asking him, "You asked me to come here just to say this?"
This doesn't sound like an auspicious word at all.
Shen Chen knew that he had heard what he meant, so he pushed the teacup forward and said, "It's not just about these things, there are other things as well." After he finished speaking, he glanced at Lin Sanshao and asked him, "Your sister is in the palace and is well-informed. You probably also know that Princess Yonghe sent someone to wait for me outside the Taiji Palace today?"
There was nothing for Young Master Lin to deny, so he nodded to show that he knew.
Shen Chen smiled and said, "That's the problem. Is Yonghe's obsession with me too deep? What do you think will happen if she can't get me? If she can't get something, what will she do?"
