Chapter 248: Lord Shen surrenders

When Lin heard this, she just frowned and said, "You're here, do you still need to tell me?"

She has always avoided people from the Anguo Mansion.

I heard that He Yuyao had been in contact with people from the Anguo Mansion a few days ago. She was busy with Yunyao's affairs these days and didn't have time to investigate.

Nanny Lin lowered her head uncomfortably, then looked at Lin: "The master just went out, and the old lady said that you should go and entertain them."

By the time Lin arrived at the main hall, Pei Chuyan had already been waiting for as long as an incense stick of time.

But he suppressed his temper and just drank cup after cup of tea.

Lin tried hard to adjust her mentality, and then she walked forward with a smile: "I didn't know that Master Pei was here. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."

Pei Chuyan did not reply, but just smiled.

Lin secretly cursed Pei Chuyan in her heart, but she had to force a smile to entertain him: "I wonder what the prince wants to do in our He Mansion?"

"Come to think of it, my family is related to your He family." Pei Chuyan put down the teacup in front of him, and then looked at Lin in front of him, but there was no expression on his face.

"Our Anguo Mansion is now in decline, and the He family is unwilling to associate with us."

"But I won't forget it."

When Lin heard Pei Chuyan's words, she knew that this person was here to cause trouble today. Just as she was about to explain, she was interrupted by He Yuyao's laughter: "My cousin is here."

Seeing He Yuyao coming, Lin couldn't help but look cold: "There are outsiders in the house, what are you doing here!"

Before He Yuyao could say anything, Pei Chuyan spoke up: "This prince came here today to look for my cousin."

These words choked Lin so much that he didn't know whether to say anything or not. He just stood there in embarrassment.

But his heart was full of curses against He Yuyao and Pei Chuyan.

"Let's go out for a walk." He Yuyao ignored Lin and just stepped forward to talk to Pei Chuyan.

The two walked straight out.

But after taking a few steps, Pei Chuyan turned back and looked at Lin: "Madam He, this huge He Mansion needs to be well taken care of."

After saying that, he went out with He Yuyao without looking back.

After hearing Pei Chuyan's words, Lin was stunned for a moment.

Pei Chuyan's words really made Lin confused, and then he began to have wild thoughts.

He turned around and walked towards the backyard, his mind filled with only one thing, which was to send He Yunyao out of the capital as soon as possible.

Stay away from this place of trouble.

Pei Chuyan left the He Mansion with He Yuyao, and only spoke after they were far away from the He Mansion.

"I came to see my cousin today to explain something to her."

He Yuyao didn't say anything, but just looked up at Pei Chuyan.

I have to say that Pei Chuyan really developed early and has a tall stature.

He Yuyao is three years older than Pei Chuyan, but now she has to look up at him.

"Master He's matter cannot be rushed now."

"If you want to hit the target right away, you still have to wait for the right time."

Before Pei Chuyan explained too much, He Yuyao nodded and interrupted Pei Chuyan: "Don't worry, cousin, since I have entrusted this matter to you, I trust you."

"My mother has passed away for so many years. What I care about now is not time, but redressing my mother's grievances and making Lin and... He Yong receive the punishment they deserve."

He Yuyao just looked at Pei Chuyan like this, and suddenly realized that she was relieved.

For so many years, I have been entangled with the fact that my father loves my sister more than me.

The problem was that the father was not sad about the death of the mother, but only focused on Lin.

But now that she knew that He Yong had approached her mother with a purpose from the beginning and had made Lin terribly loved, she suddenly felt relieved.

Fatherly love is no longer important.

Mother is the poor one.

Seeing her like this, Pei Chuyan didn't say anything to comfort her, and only said: "If you have any difficulties in the future, just go to the Anguo Mansion to find me."

"You and I will always be siblings."

Looking at Pei Chuyan's departing back and the last words he left behind, He Yuyao suddenly burst into tears.

At this time, a rare guest arrived in Xingyang Palace.

The former Minister of Personnel, now the Vice Minister of Personnel, Mr. Shen.

It was Shen Baoyan and Shen Baoshuang’s father, Lord Shen.

These days, Lord Shen has been extremely worried at home.

He used to be Lin Hecheng's boss, but Lin Hecheng was a man with ulterior motives.

I have tortured him a lot for this.

What's more, at Shen Baoyan's coming-of-age party a few days ago, Lin Hecheng's daughter Lin Yin pushed her own daughter into the water.

Even though Lin Yin died in an accident, there is no guarantee that Lin Hecheng will not bear a grudge.

He hasn't been minding his own business these days, probably because he's still immersed in the joy of promotion. If he reacts in a few days, he'll probably suffer.

Lord Shen thought about it at home and decided to go to the palace and visit the prince's Xingyang Palace. Firstly, it was to thank the prince for speaking for him, and secondly, it was to show his loyalty.

I used to think that keeping to myself was the best thing to do.

But after this experience, he realized the importance of sticking together for warmth.

If the Crown Prince and the Second Prince had not spoken for me this time, I would have been on the road to exile now.

When Lord Shen arrived at the palace, the Second Prince was in the Crown Prince's Palace, which was exactly what he wanted.

"Your humble servant pays his respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Second Prince." Lord Shen said as he knelt down and prostrated himself on the ground, refusing to get up.

The Crown Prince and the Second Prince looked at each other, then stepped forward to help Lord Shen up: "Lord Shen, you don't have to be polite."

"The Second Prince is not talking nonsense. I guess the five hundred taels of silver that Lord Shen accepted was also framed by someone, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lord Shen suddenly raised his head and looked at the prince, with tears in his eyes: "Your Highness, do you believe me?"

The prince smiled and said, "Lord Shen has been the Minister of Personnel for many years. If he wanted to embezzle, how could he only have 500 taels?"

"Don't blame your father. Since someone has brought up this matter in the court, your father has no choice but to punish him."

"And the proposal proposed by my brother is also a compromise method after the two of us discussed it. Father has no intention of punishing you severely, so he will naturally agree to it."

Lord Shen was even more moved when he saw the prince explain to him so carefully.

He knelt down again and said, "I am willing to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The prince naturally knew that Lord Shen was trying to surrender, but he did not say it out loud. He just smiled and helped Lord Shen up again: "Lord Shen's first priority at the moment is to take good care of your body."

"There will be more fights with Lin Hecheng in the future!"

After hearing this, Lord Shen suddenly felt extremely competitive.
