Chapter 197 He also has selfish motives
Everyone has selfish desires.
Shen Anshan's selfish desire is Shen Congyue.
Therefore, when he was old, Shen Congyue was missing a finger and was depressed. It was no longer a luxury for her to marry someone of equal status.
But she refused to accept her fate and developed an obsession because of Rong Jianxue.
She said to him, Daddy, I don’t have to marry Rong Jianxue.
She said, Daddy, I want to marry someone of higher status than Rong Jianxue.
She said, Daddy, I want Rong Jianxue to regret it! I want Rong Jianxue to kneel in front of me!
Chen Anshan looked at his beloved daughter with bloodshot eyes and gloomy face, raised his hand high, but finally dropped it weakly.
His candidate was decided to be Shen Qianfan.
So some time ago, he established a relationship with Crown Prince Shen Qianfan and expressed his position and loyalty.
But in return, when the prince ascends the throne in the future, Shen Congyue will be the queen and the mother of the country.
Shen Qianfan agreed.
The prime minister who had been upright for half his life was no longer a mainstay.
Rong Jianxue had noticed this earlier, and he had written a letter to the Prime Minister's Mansion, hinting that Shen Anshan should turn back.
But for Shen Congyue, Shen Anshan burned the letter and did not reply.
That was his answer.
He refused to look back.
This time the court was purged and thoroughly investigated. When the emperor learned that Shen Anshan had secretly colluded with the prince, he looked at Shen Anshan with shock and astonishment.
The official just looked at Shen Anshan silently.
Finally, he raised his hand and waved: "Prime Minister, please step down."
That was a warning to Shen Anshan that he should step down.
Everyone has selfish desires.
"Master Shaofu, do you have no selfish motives?" Shen Anshan asked.
The man's eyes were calm, and he looked at Chen Anshan without any ripples: "Yes."
There is no concealment at all.
Chen Anshan frowned slightly: "Master Master, aren't you worried that one day your selfishness will drag you into hell?"
Rong Jianxue's eyes were indifferent: "If you are not strong enough to resist the attacks of both sides, and if you are not strong enough to persevere, then you don't deserve to have selfish desires."
He dared to tell others that he was selfish, which meant he had enough power and ability to protect his selfish motives.
Chen Anshan was stunned for a moment, looked at Rong Jianxue for a long time, then chuckled and shook his head in an ambiguous manner.
The long wind blew, and the leaves of the evergreen tree rustled.
for a long time.
Chen Anshan looked at Rong Jianxue again, his voice becoming a little older and hoarse: "In my resignation letter, I recommended you as the new Prime Minister, Master Shaofu. I wish you all the best."

How to describe it?
Pei Jingxu recalled the first time he met Bai Shutong after his rebirth.
At that time, she pinched her thighs and was busy acting, crying. When she saw Bai Shutong getting off the carriage, her attention was instantly attracted to her.
To be honest, although Bai Shutong is beautiful, she is a bit boring compared to Pei Jingxu.
But Pei Jingxu guaranteed that if she and Bai Shutong stood together, everyone would see Bai Shutong first.
She herself seemed to be an eye-catching presence, and every move she made was attractive.
But now, Pei Jingxu looked at Bai Shutong outside the Zen room.
The shadow of the clouds covered her, and she stood in the mottled shadows, no longer seeming so eye-catching.
Pei Jingxu frowned slightly. Is it because of the heroine's halo?
She understood the meaning behind Bai Shutong's words.
From the beginning to the end, he never took her, the vicious female supporting role, seriously.
Pei Jingxu raised his eyebrows slightly, sneered, and narrowed his eyes: "Bai Shutong, if you hit your foot on the stepping stone, you will fall down."
Bai Shutong's pupils constricted, and he looked at Pei Jingxu with resentment: "Pei Jingxu, don't be so complacent."
As if remembering something, Bai Shutong tilted his head slightly, and the resentment in his eyes was replaced by ridicule and madness: "When we return to Rong Mansion, there will be a surprise waiting for you."
Pei Jingxu chuckled: "Madam Bai went to such great lengths to see me, just to say these harsh words to me?"
Bai Shutong snorted coldly: "Who said I came to see you? I came to see Rong Jianxue."
Pei Jingxu heard this as if he had heard a funny joke: "If you want to find him, why do you want Shami Tong to pass it on to me?"
After a pause, without waiting for Bai Shutong to speak, Pei Jingxu raised his eyebrows in understanding, suddenly realizing: "Ah, could it be that Master Shaofu refuses to see you?"
So she had to ask Shami Tong to come and see her so that she could sneak into the meditation room in the backyard?
Bai Shutong's voice was low and cold: "Pei Jingxu, don't be so proud. Do you think Rong Jianxue will always favor you?"
"I'm telling you, he'll be mine sooner or later! Mine!"
Pei Jingxu felt that if it weren't for the halo of the heroine, Bai Shutong would be even more stupid than her.
“Who is it!?”
Before Bai Shutong could say anything, Jiang Hui heard the commotion from a distance and drew his sword, pressing it against Bai Shutong's neck!
Bai Shutong's eyes widened. After seeing who was coming, his eyes turned red and tears rolled down his cheeks. "Guard Jiang, this is bad! Brother Xuanzhou is in trouble. Take me to see Master Young Master!"
Pei Jingxu sat in the Zen room, looking at Bai Shutong's expression that changed instantly, and couldn't help laughing.
Jiang Hui frowned slightly and tightened the hilt of the sword in his hand: "Madam Bai, outsiders are not allowed to enter the Buddhist meditation room."
Bai Shutong's body stiffened, but tears still fell from his eyes as he acted conscientiously: "Guard Jiang, this is an emergency, please let me see Master Shaofu!"
Jiang Hui didn't move and glanced at Pei Jingxu behind Bai Shutong.
Pei Jingxu raised her eyebrows slightly, and instantly changed into a weak and powerless look.
Biting her lip slightly, Pei Jingxu seemed frightened and said softly, "Guard Jiang, Madam Bai seems to have something urgent to do. Take her there."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hui responded with a "yes" and sheathed his sword.
Fearing that Bai Shutong would do something harmful to the Second Lady again, Jiang Hui held Bai Shutong with one hand and took her away.
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Pei Jingxu's eyes flashed coldly. He took out all the letters hidden in his sleeves and opened them to check.
After reading the letters one by one, Pei Jingxu's face became more and more gloomy, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
Most of the Crown Prince and the Third Prince's followers in the court were killed, and Chen Qianfan was even confined to the Eastern Palace by the government for forming a clique for personal gain?
For a time, people in the court were in panic and everyone felt insecure.
The letter said that letters had been flying to Rong Mansion one after another in the past few days, and the threshold of Rong Mansion was about to be broken down.
They all came to ask for Rong Jianxue's protection, or to point out a clear path.
Fortunately, Rong Jianxue had the foresight to come to Randeng Temple and avoided it.
After reading the letter, Pei Jingxu discovered that Prime Minister Chen Anshan had submitted his resignation to the government, saying that he wanted to return home.
The third prince, Shen Huaichen, was also fined his salary and placed under house arrest in the palace for forming a clique for personal gain.
Even Rong Xuanzhou was demoted, and Rong Baimao was demoted three levels and had not gone out for several days.
Less than half of the officials attended the court yesterday!
The more Pei Jingxu read, the more frightened he became. He really didn't remember that this purge in the story had such a big impact!
But she clearly remembered that although the Third Prince and Shen Qianfan had a dispute over the throne, Shen Qianfan had a clear advantage and eventually ascended the throne to become emperor.
No matter how you look at the current situation, it won’t be that easy for Shen Qianfan to become emperor.

On the other side, in the Zen room.
The man sat upright in front of the table. Bai Shutong lowered her eyes and cried, kneeling in the middle of the Zen room, her voice soft and weak.
"Master Master, please help Brother Xuanzhou and plead for him in front of His Majesty..."
