Chapter 1121 Threat
Bai Shan felt that the figure looked familiar and couldn't help but stop.
Manbao also looked back and felt that the man looked familiar, so he took two steps forward. When he saw the man standing in the shadows clearly, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, "Master Chen?"
Chen Fulin was awakened at this point. He had found himself standing in Changqing Lane in a daze. Seeing Zhuang Xun's three disciples looking at him, he turned around and was about to leave.
Seeing that he had finally let go of his hypocritical airs and was expressing what he wanted to express, Bai Shan called out to him, "Since Mr. Chen is here, why don't you come in and sit down?"
He said, "My husband is inside."
Chen Fulin stood in front of Zhuang Xun.
Zhuang Xun was reading a book leisurely in the sun. When he looked up, he saw Chen Fulin being led in by his three disciples. He was stunned, okay?
However, the disciples had always frightened him quite a bit, but he got used to it. He quickly calmed down, stood up from the recliner, and placed the book in his hand on the table not far away. He smiled and said to Chen Fulin, "Why are you here, Master Chen? Please take a seat."
After saying that, he looked at the three disciples.
Manbao looked at Bai Shan, but Bai Shan didn't even look at Bai Erlang. He looked directly at the servant beside him and ordered, "Bring a chair for Master Chen.
The servant was stunned for a moment before leaving.
Because the backyard is basically the masters' area of activity, they seldom stay here, and they only come in and out to serve some tea and snacks.
Even if guests came, they would usually be greeted by the hosts themselves. Chen Fulin was the only one who ordered them to move the chairs.
It seems that the masters don't like this guest very much. In the past, when the young masters and Mr. Zhuang's friends came, the young masters and young ladies would personally serve them seats and pour tea.
Mr. Zhuang glanced at them and didn't let them stay. He waved his hand and said, "Go wash your hands and do your homework first."
The three of them responded in unison, saluted, and retreated.
But as soon as Manbao and Baishan returned to the house and put down their things, they came out and quietly slipped into Bai Erlang's room. The three of them quietly opened his window and looked out.
There was no way, his room was closest to where the gentleman and the others were sitting.
Three heads leaned towards the window and looked out, and saw that Chen Fulin had already sat down opposite Mr. Zhuang. The servant served tea to the two of them and then stepped aside without leaving.
Manbao couldn't help but praise him in a low voice, "Bai Shan, A Yuan is really good, give him a reward later."
Bai Shan also nodded.
Mr. Zhuang offered Chen Fulin some tea with a faint smile. Chen Fulin, who always liked to keep a smile on his face, lost his smile. He raised his head and looked at Mr. Zhuang seriously for a long time. After picking up the teacup, he gently slid the lid open. "Xunmei, have you made up your mind to become my enemy?"
Mr. Zhuang shook his head slightly and said, "Speaking of which, we have been friends for nearly thirty years. I know you, and you should also know me."
He said, "I'm already this old, I can't take up an official position. My reputation, no matter how bad it is, can't be as bad as it was when I left the capital, so I've given up on it. I'm not coming to the capital this time to take up an official position, nor to seek justice, but simply to bring my three disciples out to study and experience the world."
Will Chen Fulin believe it?
Of course, he wouldn't believe it. He put down the teacup in his hand, glanced at Mr. Zhuang, smiled, and nodded, saying, "Xunmei is right. We are both at this age, what else can we ask for? The grudges of the past years are no longer clear. I was the one who wronged you, or you were the one who wronged me. We have no evidence and can't explain it clearly. It's better to just let it go."
Mr. Zhuang said that he understood him, which was certainly true. He knew that he was still his old self when he heard this. He couldn't help but laugh, and then the laughter became louder and louder, and finally he just burst into laughter.
Chen Fulin stared at him.
Mr. Zhuang had laughed enough, and then he looked at him with tearful eyes. The smile on his face slowly faded. Although he was still sitting in the chair, he had a rather arrogant attitude. He looked down at Chen Fulin and said, "Chen Fulin, do you really think that I can't overturn the old case because I don't have evidence?"
Chen Fulin frowned and said, "Xunmei, I said that what happened back then was just a misunderstanding, but you have always refused to listen to my explanation..."
"You may not know that I have a letter left by Yao Ge."
Chen Fulin's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained normal. Instead, he frowned and asked, "What letter?"
Mr. Zhuang sighed and looked at him and said, "I not only have the letters left by Yao Ge, but also Mr. Huang's handwriting. Do you want to see it?"
Chen Fulin's face turned pale.
"I've said before that I don't want to pursue what happened back then. It's not because I'm magnanimous and have forgiven you, but because I don't think it's worth it." Mr. Zhuang said, "When you kill a rat, you're bound to damage the porcelain plate. I have three disciples to guide now, and even if the matter of the past can be clarified, there will always be those who will listen to one side and believe it, which will be detrimental to them."
Mr. Zhuang said, "That happened over twenty years ago. All the friends back then are either dead or scattered. There aren't many people left who know about it. So whether it's clarified or not doesn't make much of a difference to me. It's just that I can vent my anger by seeing you in such a state of despair."
Chen Fulin's face turned pale, and he opened his mouth to speak, but Mr. Zhuang raised his hand to stop him and said, "Don't argue. I know you won't admit it, but we both understand what I mean."
"If I were single and free from worries, I could indeed do this," Mr. Zhuang said with a laugh. "But I had descendants before, and now I have disciples. I'm afraid to act rashly, I'm cowardly and incompetent, so I'm willing to bear this injustice forever. But Chen Fulin, this doesn't mean I'm willing to let you confuse right and wrong."
"I don't know what's going on outside, and I don't care. If you don't harm me anymore, I naturally won't take those things out. But if you harm me and harm my descendants and my disciples," Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, "Things are different now. Even if I have to use the connections of my three disciples, I will resolve this matter once and for all."
Chen Fulin asked with trembling hands, "Aren't you afraid of damaging your disciple's reputation now?"
Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, "I was afraid before, but isn't my eldest disciple going to the palace right now? Do you know who she is treating?"
Chen Fulin looked up, "Prince?"
Mr. Zhuang shook his head slightly and smiled, "Before, you were the superior, so you could bypass me, bypass Mr. Huang, and quietly swap my place. You should know that some things are very difficult for ordinary people, but for those in a higher position, it's just a matter of a word."
"Today, I am still a poor scholar wearing straw sandals, while you, a rich young man, are already barefoot. If you don't want to hurt the soles of your feet, you'd better not take the initiative to cause trouble. Otherwise, I will also throw thorns on the ground."
Chen Fulin asked in a deep voice: "Are you threatening me?"
Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, "I guess so. What do you think of this threat, Mr. Chen?"
