After rebirth, the scumbag prince only wants to pamper his wife every day

In the storybook, He Qingchen made up a story that his mother-in-law, whom he had never met, took the initiative to demote herself to a concubine for the sake of Lin Huaian's future and because she was afraid of the Lin family.

But is this really the truth?

If his mother-in-law really demoted herself to a concubine, why didn't she just cross out her name from the family tree?

But cover up that page?

Shen Guiyi lowered her eyes and her voice became a little hoarse: "My mother has always been the legitimate wife of the Lin family. She is proud and has never done such a self-deprecating thing as demoting a wife to a concubine. She originally planned to divorce that person. She was just one step away from getting a divorce."

He Qingchen fell silent after hearing this.

Almost?

Where's the difference?

Ah Yi is just deceiving herself.

If the Shen family had already had such great capabilities and wealth more than a decade ago, how could others give up so easily?

Lin Huaian was born in a poor family, but the Qi family was a prominent family in the court.

Even if Lin Huaian had the honor of being the third place in the imperial examination, it was not enough for a marquisate to accept him. What's more, Lin Huaian already had a wife and a son and a daughter. Unless there was something in Lin Huaian that was worthy of the Qi family's covetousness.

Now it seems obvious that what the Qi family covets is the Shen family's wealth.

So what exactly happened back then?

He Qingchen felt that he couldn't wait for his Ah Di to let down her guard against him and slowly talk to him, he had to do something.

Shen Guidi had no idea what He Qingchen was thinking, she just thought he was not interested in these things.

She was about to change the subject and continue explaining his accusation, but she heard He Qingchen ask: "A-yi, you, when they took you back to Beijing, was it them who wanted to take you back, or did you want to go back?"

There is a difference here.

If it was just because the Lin family wanted to pick her up, then it meant that she had no intention of coming back.

If she had originally planned to come back, she would have come back regardless of whether the Lin family would accept her or not, it would just be a different timing.

So, what about him?

Whether she went back or not, she never considered him. She only fell in love with him during the three years of their marriage in her previous life, right?

"Whether the Lin family accepts me or not, I will come back."

"Is it... for revenge?"

Shen Guidi was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, for revenge. The Shen family is engaged in business and has a lot of wealth, so it's not surprising that they would attract the covetousness of outsiders, but that person shouldn't be Lin Huaian, and the family shouldn't be exterminated just like that."

Her voice was low and cold.

This was the first time that He Qingchen heard the three words "Lin Huaian" from her mouth. Before, although she rarely called him that in front of outsiders, when she mentioned him, she would still call him "father" or call him "Mr. Lin".

After hearing what she said, He Qingchen roughly understood.

He looked at Shen Guidi and finally asked only one question: "So, was the extermination of the Shen family related to him?"

"Related?" Shen Guiyi chuckled, his eyes bloodshot and bloodthirsty, gritting his teeth and saying, "More than related? The Shen family, dozens of close relatives, hundreds of side relatives and servants, all died in their hands. How can you describe it as 'related'?"

As she said this, her whole body trembled, her fists clenched, and her eyes seemed to be covered in blood.

He Qingchen sat down beside her, gently held her in his arms, and patted her gently with his other hand, coaxing her: "A'yi, it's okay, it's all over, it's okay, from now on, no matter what you want to do, I will accompany you, you don't have to endure this hardship alone."

However, he also knew in his heart that this matter was very tricky.

If it was just the Lin family, it wouldn't be a big deal, but these things are not just about the Lin family.

Back then, Lin Huaian was just a small scholar in the capital.

His hands could not reach into the officialdom of Hanzhou.

First, he announced to the public that his mother-in-law was just a concubine, then he attacked the Shen family, and finally he seized all of the Shen family's assets. Without the protection of the officials in Hanzhou officialdom, and without the layer-by-layer planning and support for him in the capital, Lin Huaian could not have done it alone.

He Qingchen held her in his arms, his eyes blank, knowing that this matter required careful planning.

Shen Guidi did not respond to He Qingchen's words.

She had not originally planned to tell him this so early, and she didn't want him to get involved too much. Now that he said this, Shen Guidi didn't think he could really help her with anything.

This is a very difficult thing.

If it is said that the Qi family is behind Lin Huaian, then behind the Qi family there must be a bigger and more powerful backer.

It is even very likely that person is the mastermind behind the whole thing.

Their current suppression of the Lin family is just the beginning.

"A'di, there must be someone hiding behind the Lin and Qi families. If we suppress the Lin family, it will easily arouse the vigilance of the Qi family and the people behind the scenes. By then, it will be even more troublesome. How about we let it go for now?"

"Let it go?"

"It's not like we should let it go. It's just that we don't have to rush to suppress the Lin family all at once. We should give them some breathing space. By then, who knows, the Lin family might be a good weapon to strike back at the person behind the scenes."

Shen Guidi pushed him away a little and looked at him thoughtfully.

He Qingchen was very nervous when he was seen: "Why are you looking at me like this?"

"Your Majesty, do you really want to help me?"

"What do you mean by help? You are my princess, and your business is my business."

"Even if this matter may be extremely dangerous, and even the entire palace may be involved, would Your Majesty be willing?" Shen Guidi looked at him steadily. Although it was just a verbal test, she also wanted to hear his answer.

He Qingchen closed his eyes and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked: "Ayi, if the person who might drag you into an irretrievable place is not you, but this king, would you be willing?"

In fact, everything he does now is very dangerous.

Each of these things could indeed drag her into an irretrievable situation.

In his second life, he wanted to pamper her, but he also knew that in order to pamper his Ah Yi wholeheartedly, he had to eliminate all the dangers.

He had to deal with anyone who had plotted against him in his past life.

And this is not easy.

Shen Guidi looked at him in silence and did not answer.

He Qingchen felt a little disappointed, but he comforted himself in his heart: Hey, Ah Di has already done it for me once, how could she not be willing?

She must be willing.

But he would definitely protect her and not let her suffer as she did in her previous life.

The more He Qingchen thought about it, the more determined he became. Shen Guidi felt very uncomfortable being looked at by him like this.

She didn't want to discuss those things with him, and she didn't want to hear him promise something that he didn't know if he could do or to what extent, so she tried to change the subject: "Well, Your Majesty, do you still want to hear my explanation?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage stopped.

The coachman outside got off the carriage and carefully reminded the carriage: "Your Majesty, Princess, we have arrived at the palace."

Shen Guidi: “…”

Just as He Qingchen was about to continue listening to the explanation, he heard Shen Guidi coaxing him: "..."

The rain outside had stopped long ago. He Qingchen led Shen Guidi out of the carriage, glanced at the coachman lightly, and then took his princess away.

Only the groom and Ye Feng were left standing there in a daze.
