After rebirth, the scumbag prince only wants to pamper his wife every day
Chapter 152: Not Completely True
After Lin Churan and Qiao Xinlian, mother and daughter, left.
Shen Guidi sat alone in the room, his eyes flickering, hidden in the invisible shadows.
After Xiaoliu sent the person out of the yard, he came back skipping.
He wanted to report to Shen Guidi, but was dragged away by Yaoshu, and the room fell into complete silence.
Shen Guidi sat quietly for a long time, his eyes turned slightly and his gaze fell on the jade pendant.
half an hour.
She closed the lid of the box, stood up with the box in her hand, and was about to return to the inner room when He Qingchen's cheerful voice came from outside the door: "Where is the princess? Is she in there?"
Shen Guidi paused slightly and turned to look at the door.
He Qingchen just pushed the door open and walked in.
The two looked at each other, and after a moment, their gazes shifted away at the same time, but fell on each other's hands tacitly.
Coincidentally, both of them were holding a box in their hands.
However, the box in He Qingchen's hand was obviously much bigger than the one in Shen Guidi's hand. It didn't look heavy, but Shen Guidi was a little curious about what was inside.
However, when He Qingchen saw the box in Shen Guidi's hand, his eyes lit up.
He looked at Shen Guidi with joy, pointed at the box with some anticipation, and asked eagerly: "A'di, is this... a gift for me?"
Shen Guidi: “…No.”
He Qingchen's eyes dimmed for a moment, but he still asked: "Then what is this box..."
Shen Guiyi pursed her lips: "Someone gave it to me."
He Qingchen tilted his head and thought of the three people who had just passed by him in front of the palace gate. He had no impression of the middle-aged woman among the three, but he had seen the two young ones at the palace banquet.
They are Lin Huaian's eldest daughter and the maid who serves her.
Think about this.
He Qingchen asked tentatively, "Is it sent by the eldest daughter of the Lin family who is well known to outsiders? Is the middle-aged woman beside her her aunt? Why did they come to you specifically?"
In his opinion, no one in the Lin family is a good person.
It would be better if his Ah Di had no dealings with these people.
Shen Guidi said calmly, "It was indeed her aunt. They came to me with this thing to beg me, hoping that I could think of a way to cancel the marriage with the Zhao family for her."
"Cancel the marriage with the Zhao family?" He Qingchen frowned and thought for a while, "How did I hear that the Zhao family's eldest wife is planning to marry Miss Lin as a second wife, and the wedding will be held tomorrow?"
The one from the Zhao family is quite famous in the capital.
It was not because of his talent, nor because of his filial piety or any other good qualities, but because he was considered the best among the playboys of the previous generation. Anyone who knew him would inevitably mention his large backyard of concubines when mentioning him.
It doesn't matter.
The most important thing is that a few years ago, the Zhao family caused a lot of jokes when the old lady Qi acted as a matchmaker and married her precious daughter's eldest daughter to her precious nephew.
After all, Lin Churan had to call Madam Lin her mother.
Call Old Madam Qi "grandmother".
How cruel must one be to marry a concubine's daughter who has just come of age to a middle-aged playboy who is already over 40?
For a moment, everyone was worried about Lin Churan.
Sometimes, I feel sorry for her.
He never thought that the other party would actually come to his Ah Yi for help?
Shen Guidi had no intention of hiding it. She nodded and said calmly, "It is indeed tomorrow's wedding. I am afraid that coming to me for help is the last solution she can think of."
He Qingchen sneered and didn't care about it.
If he had to say something, he hoped that his Ah Yi would not get involved in the Zhao family's mess: "You're getting married tomorrow, and you only think of asking for help today?"
"Yes. I thought she wouldn't come."
He Qingchen frowned, and suddenly grasped the key point of Shen Guidi's words: I thought?
Does this mean... I knew it a long time ago?
Ah Di had known for a long time that the concubine of the Lin family would come to her for help in getting married with the Zhao family?
Could it be that Asi had been planning to get involved in this matter for a long time?
He Qingchen's eyes inevitably overflowed with worry. His eyes were anxious and he asked anxiously: "A'di, do you mean that you want to interfere in the marriage between the Zhao and Lin families?"
Shen Guidi looked at him strangely, as if she didn't understand what He Qingchen was worried about.
She was in no hurry to answer.
She just slowly turned her head and sat back on the couch by the window, and He Qingchen followed and sat opposite her.
He casually threw the box in his hand aside and stared at Shen Guidi.
Shen Guidi opened her box as if no one was around, then took out the jade pendant from the box with a handkerchief and held it up to the sunlight.
The sunlight fell through the small hole in the jade pendant and shone on her hairpin and skirt.
Shen Guiyi squinted her eyes and looked at the light and shadows falling on her body. She smiled lightly and gave He Qingchen a completely perfunctory answer: "Aunt Qiao and Miss Lin are so sincere, so I will naturally help them."
He Qingchen looked at her steadily without saying anything.
It was clear to him that she was not telling the truth.
At least, not entirely the truth.
After all, what she said before and after was somewhat incoherent and irrational.
From her words, He Qingchen thought very clearly that his A'di had long anticipated that they would come to her for this matter, and they gave her gifts and came to ask to see his A'di later.
The order is so vague, but the meaning is very different.
The former was premeditated by his Ah Di, who took the initiative to get involved in those matters.
The latter was that his Ah Di was temporarily and passively pushed into these matters due to certain favors or gifts.
He looked at Shen Guidi, who didn't seem to be planning to elaborate, and didn't dare to ask any further questions.
I just secretly reminded myself to assign more people to keep an eye on and protect them.
Seeing Shen Guidi looking at the jade pendant very seriously, He Qingchen also looked at it with curiosity.
In his opinion, this jade pendant didn't seem to be anything special.
It was a square jade pendant with a pattern outlined on it. There were gaps between the patterns, allowing sunlight to shine through, making the jade look more crystal clear than usual.
But it looks like just a piece of jade.
He grew up in the palace and although he was not favored, he had seen a lot of good things.
I really don't understand why Shen Guidi likes it so much.
Some even said that this was a very sincere gift from the concubine and daughter of the Lin family.
He looked at the jade pendant for a few seconds, then looked at Shen Guidi, and asked tentatively: "Adi, is there anything special about this jade pendant? Do you like jade?"
Shen Guidi paused.
She put her hand down awkwardly and casually placed the jade pendant on the table so that He Qingchen could see it more clearly: "Your Highness, do you still remember the jade pendant that I talked to that person about at the door on the day when Lin Weiran was arrested and taken to the Dali Temple?"
He Qingchen was stunned.
He quickly reached out and picked up the jade pendant. Shen Guidi looked at him hesitantly, and finally pursed her lips and said nothing.
He Qingchen didn't know. He only looked at the pattern on the jade pendant carefully and asked curiously, "So, this is the heirloom jade pendant of the Shen family that you asked Mr. Lin to send?"
