Cen Jiaan sat in the first seat on the left.
Shen Yuexi sat upright on the main seat.
Liang Yuyu in his arms always stretched her head to look outside.
Every time her eyes met Cen Jiaan, Liang Yuyu would puff out her cheeks, stick out her pink tongue, and make an angry face at Cen Jiaan.
【Hmph! Not a good thing.】
"I think you came to our Liang Mansion at this time, either to add fuel to the fire, or to take advantage of yesterday's incident to make some gains."
[Mother, no matter what he says, please don't agree to him. Mother!]
Liang Yuyu waved her little fist, smacked her pink lips, her nose twitched in anger, and she made a babbling sound.
Shen Yuexi smiled awkwardly and covered Liang Yuyu's eyes with her hands.
She patted Liang Yuyu's back gently: "Good boy, sleep well and don't toss and turn."
After saying that, Shen Yuexi looked at Cen Jiaan again and said slowly and meaningfully, "I want to talk to Young Master Cen."
After hearing this, Cen Jiaan shifted his gaze from Liang Yuyu to look at Shen Yuexi.
He picked up the teacup, took two sips, thought for a moment, and then spoke slowly, "Actually, I came this time because, firstly, I wanted to see if the young lady was okay. Secondly, my father had news about the human traffickers and asked me to bring it to Madam."
Shen Yuexi's brows tightened slightly, and the corners of her eyebrows twitched twice.
Liang Yuyu's little mouth started smacking, and she felt a little uneasy.
[How did Minister Cen know about human traffickers?]
[He couldn't possibly be concerned about the Liang family.]
It seems this old cunning scoundrel has been keeping an eye on this gang of traffickers for a while now, or perhaps he's known about Ah Hong and Second Brother's relationship from the beginning, but was just worried about how to make it public when the traffickers presented him with this opportunity.
Shen Yuexi's heart was also growing increasingly uneasy. Her gaze towards Cen Jiaan gradually darkened, but she remained polite. "Really? Minister Cen is so concerned about our Liang family's affairs. It seems I must find a chance to thank him properly."
Cen Jiaan took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Yuexi: "Madam, my father said that you don't have to be polite. These are what we should do."
Shen Yuexi took the bamboo slips and took a look at them, her eyes suddenly darkening.
The muscles at the corners of her eyes twitched slightly.
Liang Yuyu was closest to Shen Yuexi and could even clearly hear the sound of Mei Niang gritting her teeth.
She stretched her neck and moved forward, trying to see clearly what was written on the bamboo slips.
Before Liang Yuyu could see clearly, Shen Yuexi knocked down the bamboo slips and looked at Cen Jiaan coldly: "What does Minister Cen mean by this? This is a naked slander! What does Minister Cen want to do by sending this thing to my house?"
Although Cen Jiaan was young, he remained calm and showed no fear in the face of Shen Yuexi's rage.
He took the bamboo slips and scanned them. "My father has been keeping an eye on this gang of human traffickers for a long time. The reason he never took action to destroy their lair was because he wanted to find their contact in the capital, who was also their leader."
"It wasn't until a few days ago that my father discovered that the second son of the Liang family often met with Sister Hong privately. The two of them behaved so intimately, their relationship was truly intriguing."
As Cen Jia'an spoke, he strode forward and slammed the bamboo slips directly onto the small square table beside Shen Yuexi. "Madam Liang, this group of human traffickers was able to steal so many children from the city in just a few months. Who would believe that they don't have the support of high-ranking officials behind them?"
[It’s not a good thing after all! ]
[Does this mean that my father is the one who supports me from behind?]
Liang Yuyu rolled her eyes and glared at Cen Jiaan fiercely.
Although she felt dissatisfied, Liang Yuyu knew that now that the evidence was before her, the Liang family was in a difficult situation and their lifeblood was in the hands of others!
Suddenly, Liang Yuyu saw that when Cen Jiaan was talking to Shen Yuexi, his right hand hung at his side, his five fingers bent into his palm, the veins on the back of his hand bulged, and his wrist was trembling slightly.
[It seems Cen Jiaan is also very nervous. ]
[But why is he so nervous? Could it be that he came here not because of Minister Cen's intention at all, but because of his own actions?]
Shen Yuexi followed Liang Yuyu's gaze and naturally saw Cen Jiaan's shaking wrist.
The corners of her lips twitched, and a faint smile appeared on her face.
Shen Yuexi slowly sat back in the chair, her right hand casually placed on the table, her fingers tapping lightly.
Click--
Click--
A crisp, short sound echoed in the room.
After a pause, Shen Yuexi sneered: "If that's the case, why didn't Minister Cen hand these bamboo slips over to the emperor?"
Cen Jiaan's throat rolled, and his originally calm expression visibly darkened.
"Young Master Cen, go back and tell Minister Cen." Shen Yuexi looked at Cen Jiaan slowly. "Any mistakes or omissions made by our Liang Mansion will naturally be dealt with by the Emperor. If Minister Cen feels there is something wrong, he can go directly to tell the Emperor. There is no need for you, Young Master, to go in person."
"If the Emperor really wants to bring my unworthy son to court for questioning, then just bring him there. I, Shen Yuexi, will not say a word. But if anyone wants to use something like this to threaten the Liang family, to threaten me..."
Shen Yuexi sneered: "Then you can also let the horse come over and give it a try."
After saying this, without giving Cen Jiaan a chance to reply, Shen Yuexi suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice: "Liu Qiu, show the guest out!"
Shen Yuexi's movements are smooth and coherent without any stumbling, so handsome!
Liang Yuyu waved her little paws in the air, unable to suppress the joy on her face.
【My mother is so cool.】
【Mother, I declare that you are my God.】
My biggest dream in the future is to become the next mother.
Liang Yuyu's flattery made Shen Yuexi feel very comfortable.
At the same time, her eyes became increasingly cold as she looked at Cen Jiaan.
After hearing the instructions, Liu Qiu quickly stepped inside, stood beside Cen Jiaan, and gestured to him, "Young Master Cen, please come in."
Cen Jiaan frowned slightly and looked at Shen Yuexi anxiously.
After a pause, Cen Jiaan forced a smile and said, "Mrs. Liang, to be honest, it wasn't my father's order that I come to see you today. And it wasn't my father who asked me to give you those things."
Shen Yuexi stared at Cen Jiaan with confidence, raised her right hand, and gently waved it twice towards Liu Qiu.
The latter understood and immediately retreated.
This time, before Liu Qiu left, he carefully closed the door.
Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Cen Jiaan rubbed his hands awkwardly, looked at Shen Yuexi carefully, and whispered, "Madam Liang, I came here this time to make a deal with you."
As if worried that Shen Yuexi might misunderstand him, Cen Jiaan immediately added, "Don't worry, this is absolutely not a threat. It's just a fair deal."
Shen Yuexi raised her eyebrows and looked at Cen Jiaan.
The child in front of me looks honest and I don’t know what kind of deal he can make with me.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Yuexi said slowly: "Speak."
