Everyone is a villain, I am a madman, who am I afraid of?

Pei Lechen stared at Pei Shijing, as if asking if it was true.

Pei Shijing nodded helplessly: "It's true, mother won't lie to you."

As he said this, he carried Pei Lechen to the desk to write a letter to Xiao Minye.

As for whether Xiao Minye would come directly after receiving the letter, she was not very clear.

When everyone was busy with spring ploughing, Xiao Minye received a letter from Pei Shijing, and a smile finally appeared on his angry face.

I opened the letter and read what Pei Shijing wrote. When I saw Pei Lechen crying because he was not at home, I felt so heartbroken.

Putting down the letter in his hand, Xiao Minye asked Gu Chen in front of him: "How is the situation over there? Go and ask them clearly whether they can do it. If not, I will directly replace them."

Gu Chen was relieved to see that Xiao Minye's mood had finally improved. He quickly said, "Master, I have already asked, and they said it would take a few more days."

"Since it will take a few days, I will give them another three days. If they still haven't done it after three days, I will replace them."

"Yes."

Gu Chen quickly retreated, not daring to stay here any longer.

I was afraid that if I continued to stay here, Xiao Minye would scold me.

After Gu Chen left, Xiao Minye continued to pick up the letter and read it, saying helplessly: "I miss you too, but I can't go back yet."

Xiao Minye wrote a letter back to Pei Shijing and asked someone to deliver it before leaving.

When the guards in the palace saw Gu Chen coming out, they hurried over and asked anxiously, "Brother Gu Chen, how is the master? Is he still angry?"

Gu Chen nodded helplessly. How could he not be angry?

Because of Song Wan's self-righteousness, their progress slowed down a lot. If it weren't for General Song's military achievements, Song Wan would have been killed at that time.

It's a pity that Song Wan still arrogantly thinks she is doing this for everyone's good.

"Song Wan is going too far. The master has driven everyone away, but she was so shameless to go over there. The people over there also kept it from the prince. Now, all of us are implicated." They would rather kill the enemy than let Xiao Minye get angry with them.

The prince is angry and they are right in front of him, which is fatal.

"Don't worry about it for now. The Ministry of Industry only has three days."

"I still have to go to the Ministry of Industry, so I won't talk to you guys for now." Gu Chen came to the Ministry of Industry.

I thought the Ministry of Industry had learned their lesson, but who knew they would act like fools.

Song Wan was still there.

When Gu Chen saw Song Wan standing there, his face suddenly darkened. He pointed at Song Wan and asked coldly, "Why is she here?"

"Guard Gu, this matter is my..."

Looking at the person approaching him, Gu Chen just took a look and interrupted what he was saying, saying in a cold voice: "You let someone in without permission. This is the second time, right?"

"The prince was furious about this matter last time, and you still dare to let people stay here?"

The others were somewhat helpless, and they looked as uncomfortable as if they had eaten a fly: "Guard Gu, it's not us who want to keep people here, it's Minister Chen who won't let us drive them away."

"That's right. Song Wan has been slowing down our progress here, and Minister Chen keeps protecting her and even assigns some important tasks to Song Wan."

If Song Wan could complete this task, they wouldn't say anything.

But the problem is that not only did Song Wan fail to complete the task, but he also caused trouble for them and wasted their time and materials.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Minister Chen glared at them anxiously, feeling a little angry.

"You know whether we are talking nonsense or not. For example, we should have made the dagger five days ago, but Song Wan still hasn't finished it. Even if the prince came, you are still pretending to obey."

Isn't it because Minister Chen relies on his status that he dares to act so unscrupulously?

Song Wan stood up at this time and said sadly: "I just want to help."

Those who were dissatisfied with Song Wan laughed angrily when they heard this: "Help? Are you helping us get scolded, or helping us get punished?"

"Song Wan, please don't pretend to know everything and cause trouble for us, okay?"

Song Wan's face flushed. She didn't expect that people here would dislike her so much.

When Song Wan was thinking about how to deal with this matter, Gu Chen suddenly said: "I will ask someone to ask the prince to handle this matter. Minister Chen, I think you are not suitable for this position."

"You have hindered everyone else's progress due to your own selfishness, and you still don't repent even at this time." Gu Chen was somewhat dissatisfied with Minister Chen.

Even if you like Song Wan, you should consider the place. It's a bit too much to just do it casually.

Minister Chen's expression suddenly changed, and he said anxiously, "Gu Chen, is this a small matter?"

Before Gu Chen could speak, the person next to him had already spoken: "This is not a small matter. You disobeyed the prince's order and privately left irrelevant people here, and even caused us some unnecessary losses. Is this a small matter?"

Gu Chen gave Minister Chen a meaningful look and asked someone to invite Xiao Minye.

Before, Song Wan didn’t take Gu Chen seriously, thinking that after Gu Chen left, she, as an aunt, could continue to stay here. But now Gu Chen actually wants to ask Xiao Minye to come over. Isn’t this making things more difficult for her?

"Gu Chen, if you don't like me, I'll just leave." Song Wan knew that she couldn't stay here and let Xiao Minye see her, otherwise everything would be over.

So he made up an excuse and wanted to leave. However, Gu Chen was not so easy to fool. He blocked Song Wan when she was about to leave.

"Miss Song, why are you in such a hurry? Don't you want to help? I will call the prince now, and you can have a good talk with him, don't you think?" Gu Chen said with a smile.

Song Wan looked at Minister Chen anxiously, signaling with his eyes for him to help speak.

Minister Chen was a little angry when he saw Gu Chen was not giving him face: "Gu Chen, you are just a servant. You have no right to talk to us like this. Get out of my way."

The people nearby who had always been dissatisfied with Song Wan looked at Minister Chen in shock.

Is he sure?

Even if he is a slave, it depends on whose slave he is.

This is Gu Chen, the personal bodyguard of the prince. Most of the time, Gu Chen’s appearance represents the prince. His status is much higher than that of Minister Chen.

Even Song Wan, who was at odds with Gu Chen, wondered if Minister Chen had gone crazy when he heard him say this.

When he said that, wasn't he worried that the prince would come and cause trouble?

"Gu Chen, Minister Chen didn't mean that. I apologize to you here." Song Wan said quickly.

If the prince knew about this, not only would Minister Chen be implicated, but even she would be implicated by Minister Chen.

Song Wan tried to find a way to help Minister Chen get rid of this matter, but Minister Chen didn't take it seriously at all.
