This kind of person really makes people have no sympathy.
In addition to his impatience with her, Shen Chen also felt disgust and disdain for her repeated plots against Wei An. He used to think that she was not a threat and didn't want to do anything to her because she was a woman after all.
But now, Shen Chen was really disgusted.
He heard about the Third Lady when he was in the palace. He knew that Princess Yonghe was stalling for time by crying, making a fuss and threatening to commit suicide. He also knew that she was deliberately making trouble for Wei An.
If we indulge her this time, who knows how many cruel things she will do in the future.
Shen Chen did not hide anything and said directly to Old Lady Wei: "I have already thought about it... Puci Temple is a place for meditation, but we all know that things in this temple are sometimes unpredictable."
He glanced at Third Young Master Lin and shook his head, saying, "The method you told me last time is no longer effective. If someone wants to do something bad, you can't stop them. Asking her to pray for the Sixth Prince is just a disguised way of locking her up in a different place. If she wants to make trouble, she can still do it. I'm fed up."
Mrs. Wei's heart moved, so she asked him, "What do you mean?"
"I heard that Guanzhonghou's wife is gone. He has a villa near Puci Temple. He stayed there for a while and often went there to listen to sutras." Shen Chen slowly turned the cup, his expression cold and emotionless: "Guanzhonghou's family has long been in decline. The whole family relies on the daughter-in-law's dowry, and even covets the dowry of the son-in-law..."
These words were obviously specious and completely unrelated. Everyone in the Wei family looked at him, wondering why he suddenly said that.
But Wei An understood what Shen Chen meant.
Since we are short of money, and very short of it, that means we can bribe them.
"Marquis Guanzhong really needs a concubine with a rich dowry." Shen Chen's face became even colder: "I think if Princess Yonghe can be his concubine, he will probably be very happy."
Of course!
The Guanzhong Marquisate had long been in decline, and the whole family had to be supported. If they could marry a princess, it would be something they would have loved to have.
But in the situation of Guanzhong Hou, who would marry the princess to them? !
Young Master Lin understood and calmly replied, "Are you saying that we should ask Marquis Guanzhong to marry Princess Yonghe?"
But where does Guanzhong Hou get the confidence from
He had to be crazy to dare to ask for Princess Yonghe's hand in marriage. Wasn't he afraid of being killed by Emperor Longqing
The second master finally spoke: "This is not appropriate.....if you are not careful, it will easily lead to trouble..."
The Third Master looked at the Third Madam and said doubtfully, "It's not impossible, but how can His Majesty agree to it?"
Shen Chen said, "I just said that Guanzhong Hou is easy to bribe, and the nuns in Puci Temple are probably not difficult to bribe either. Some things are up to human efforts."
He looked at Wei An with a hint of embarrassment: "I originally said that I have always been very tolerant towards girls and don't want to use such dirty tricks as destroying their reputation to deal with any girl, but now, I'm afraid I have to break my rules."
Princess Yonghe is really a vine that makes people feel suffocated. If she continues like this, she will sooner or later cause greater trouble.
Wei An knew that Shen Chen was asking for her opinion.
In fact, to some extent, she is much more ruthless than Shen Chen.
It’s not like she hadn’t dealt with princesses in her previous life.
Besides, she prefers to take the initiative rather than being killed by others.
She didn't hesitate and said, "Do whatever you want to do. I will always support you."
Young Master Lin sighed in his heart.
Shen Chen and Wei An always have a natural tacit understanding. They can always understand each other, no matter what happens, it seems that as long as the other party says a word, they can understand and comprehend each other's actions.
He didn't say anything.
Old Madam Wei also said: "Although the Third Young Master's method is not bad, Shen Chen's method is also feasible."
That’s settled then. Shen Chen heaved a sigh of relief and raised his glass to toast the second and third masters.
The banquet lasted until very late. When everyone had left, Mrs. Wei said to Wei An behind their backs: "Now I really feel that if you don't marry Shen Chen, you will never find a better person."
Wei An patted her on the back, smiled and said, "I know why grandma said that."
Mrs. Wei also looked at her with a smile: "You know?"
"Shen Chen treats me with sincerity." Wei An nodded seriously: "I have confessed my feelings to grandma before, but I never got to the point. Grandma probably saw what happened today. Although Shen Chen appears to be a playboy, he is a very sensible person. He never kills people and always leaves room for everything. But sometimes he can't help but be intolerable. Even if he can't bear it, he always asks for my opinion before doing anything."
This is the most rare point.
Even if he was angry, Shen Chen still took Wei An's preferences into consideration. If she didn't want him to do something, he would stop.
Old Madam Wei was very moved and felt happy for her. After a long while, she sighed softly: "That's good... Shen Chen is like this, I am completely relieved."
Not long after, some time after Mrs. Wei brought Ming Jing to the palace to pay her respects, a rumor quietly arose in the capital city - a very sad and beautiful story took place in Puci Temple.
This story is nothing more than a love story between a man and a woman, but the advantage is that it is well told, just like a play, both romantic and sad, and it became very popular for a time.
The story goes that a man who lost his beloved wife had been bedridden for a long time and was originally very depressed. However, when he was traveling in the mountains later, he saw a woman who looked very much like his deceased wife, and from then on he began to search for that woman.
Later, he found the woman and learned that she was the girl from the capital who came to Puci Temple to practice asceticism. He then concluded that the Bodhisattva saw his sincerity and allowed him to find someone who looked so much like his deceased wife.
As time went by, he often went to Puci Temple in the mountains to visit the girl. Gradually, they fell in love with each other and exchanged tokens of love. He also went back to his hometown to inform his parents and decided to choose a day to propose to the girl.
But he didn't expect that after he came back, Pu Ci'an flatly denied having such a girl.
He couldn't find anyone, so he fell ill...
This story created a sensation in the capital city, and countless people were moved by the love between the two. When they learned that this story was true and that it was Guanzhong Hou who spread it specifically to find his ideal partner, they became even more excited.
Many people spontaneously began to look for the woman who had secretly married Guanzhong Hou.
As they searched, another rumor emerged - the Marquis of Guanzhong's sweetheart was actually Princess Yonghe, who had returned to the palace a few days ago.
