The smile on Lin Feng's face gradually froze. Could it be that Xie Zhuangshui had turned against him? "What on earth happened?"
Shi Zairong cried, "It's all because of you. Apart from Xiao Liang, no one knows that the man living in my house is my good friend..."
After that, even without Shi Zairong saying anything, Zhihong could see the deep meaning in his eyes from his resentful look. Xie Zhuangshui originally had hobbies that were not very similar to others, and now he probably regarded Shi Zairong as one of the same kind: "Puff!"
Shi Zairong pulled out the fan from his waist. If Lin Feng hadn't been injured, he would have hit him with the fan: "Laugh, how dare you laugh? I'm a straight man. Huijue and I are a perfect match made in heaven!"
Lin Feng smiled and asked, "When will you bring her back and reveal her identity? Then the mystery will be solved, won't it?"
Shi Zairong said sadly, "That's easy to say. I don't even know if I can return to South Vietnam alive."
Hearing these half-joking words, Lin Feng felt a pang of discontent. They had dedicated so much to South Vietnam, but in the end, they were met with nothing but suspicion from those above them, and were ruthlessly exploited and betrayed. "...I'm here, and I won't let you die so easily."
Shi Zairong said, "No, if necessary, it would be better for me to disappear completely."
Judging from the meaning of these words, Shi Zairong was not completely without plans for this matter: "It's up to you, but if you have a plan, don't hide it from me."
Shi Zairong smiled and said, "Don't worry, hiding it from you won't do me any good."
"I'm not going to discuss this anymore. Let's talk about recent events. Has there been any progress with Huangfu Bin and his son?" The court situation had only just begun to stir, and it would take quite some time to get here from South Vietnam. Even if something serious had happened, there was still time to calm down. However, the Shengxi Gu issue was of grave concern, so it was best to resolve it first before considering anything else.
Speaking of this, Shi Zairong was in a state of panic. When Lin Feng was here, he could help him keep an eye on it; ever since Lin Feng went to Qingliang Valley, he had fewer people at his disposal. "I don't know either. Ever since that incident, I've been busy suppressing the news and looking for spies. They said they didn't want to alert the enemy, so they haven't done anything with the Shengxi Gu recently. They must be refining their methods."
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh, "A single Life-Growing Gu from the Huangfu family can cause such a big commotion. I wonder what other mysterious uses those other Gu insects have."
If those who were originally against him in the court had basically sided with Tianshu Tower, then it wouldn't be long before Xiahou Qing told them about the Shengxi Gu. Once these people knew that a small Gu insect from the Huangfu family could cause such a big commotion, the situation would become even more complicated.
"Because of the Shengxi Gu incident, I'm afraid the old patriarch is really going to let the Huangfu family bide their time this time."
Although Shi Zairong was somewhat worried about the Huangfu family, it wasn't to the point of being too serious. After all, the Huangfu family was a family with a history of thousands of years and a solid foundation.
However, what Lin Feng said next was one of the real reasons for Shi Zairong's recent rage: "Of course, once the imperial court knew about the Shengxi Gu, how could they turn a blind eye to such a convenient and useful thing right in the territory of Nanyue? Maybe your marriage with Hong Yu would be affected by it."
Shi Zairong looked up and said, "Yes, so we absolutely cannot let this happen. How can I just let someone I've spent so much effort to pursue just give up on me?"
Lin Feng said: "If you have ambition, I support you."
While Lin Feng continued to assist Shi Zairong in handling the matters at hand, and was suspected by Xie Zhuangshui of having an affair with her, Qinghe's mind suddenly became free after Lin Feng's arrival and her worries were satisfactorily resolved, finally giving her enough time to think about Tang Chen.
“…”
After Tang Chen saw Qinghe had been staring at him for a long time, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? You came here so early in the morning and didn't say anything or do anything. You just sat here and watched me think about life. Is there something on my face?"
Qinghe was thinking about life while asking, "Where's Wanying? Why didn't I see her today?"
Tang Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "She went to communicate with Nian Qing!"
"I'm serious," she said. However, facing Tang Chen's playful expression, Qinghe couldn't keep her face this time. From her observations and speculations, Jiang Wanying's appearance was definitely not as simple as Tang Chen said.
Tang Chen noticed that Qinghe's expression was a little off, so he quickly sat up straight and put away his smile. He replied, "Nianqing went to the thatched cottage, so I asked her to go with her. She wanted to familiarize herself with the environment in the valley and exchange some feelings with Nianqing."
Seeing that Tang Chen was still joking with him, Qing He simply said bluntly: "What is your purpose in suddenly inviting her here without telling anyone?"
Tang Chen was stunned for a moment, then replied with a smile: "What are you talking about? What purpose could I have? Isn't it to find someone from Bugui Peak to make Lian Xin give up?"
Qinghe said that Tang Chen's little tricks were beyond her reach. She had seen many concubines in the harem before, and compared to those people, Tang Chen was still too naive when it came to lying: "Lin Zhenzhen is just an excuse. I want to hear the truth."
After Tang Chen handed the sleepy little kid in his arms to the wet nurse, he said softly, "Hey, Qinghe, don't ask me anymore. I wouldn't do anything outlandish, so just rest assured."
Seeing that Tang Chen was going to use the children as an excuse to escape, Qinghe immediately ordered, "Nurse, I think the children want to sleep. You can take them down and coax them first."
"yes."
After the wet nurse left with the two children, Qinghe said aggressively, "Now there are only the two of us left. Tell me honestly what you are planning. I really can't convince myself that you found someone like that at this critical moment just to treat Lin Zhenzhen. If you have any other excuses, tell me. As long as you can convince me, I will believe it."
Normally, Tang Chen would have told Qinghe about it if she had asked so much. But the thing she was secretly planning affected Wang Yanzhou's happiness for the rest of his life, so she absolutely could not tell her: "Qinghe, I swear on my dignity, you really are overthinking this time."
Qinghe chuckled and said, "Even if it's like you said, you think it's time for Nianqing and the others to get married, why would you choose someone else but a young lady who looks almost exactly like you? Do you think I would believe it?"
"Won't."
