She is a heartthrob who wants to live a good life

Chapter 263 Green Tea Selfish Cousin 32

After the court session, Xie Zheng returned home and went directly to Lanxin Garden.

Lan has gone completely crazy. He has been locked up in the yard all this time. Whenever he sees someone, he tells them that he is a snake and will rush up to bite people's necks.

He was nearly bitten by Lan the night he returned home. When he saw her disheveled hair and disheveled clothes, the last bit of marital tenderness in his heart disappeared, and he had her tied up.

Seeing him coming, the soldier guarding the gate respectfully stepped aside and opened the gate for him: "General."

Nanny Jin was coaxing Lan to eat. The room was a mess, with debris from Lan's fight that had not yet been cleaned up.

As soon as Xie Zheng entered, he frowned and looked at Lan coldly: "Has she improved during this period of time?"

Nanny Jin looked at Lan, who was slamming the table, in embarrassment. What was the general asking? Wasn't it obvious? If the Madam got better, would she still be like this?

But she only dared to complain in her heart, so she lowered her head and said respectfully, "No."

"Your blood must taste delicious. It can help me transform. I want to drink your blood!"

Lan laughed strangely and rushed over to bite Xie Zheng. He dodged her with disgust and ordered, "Send her to the ancestral hall of the old house in Pingzhou. Keep an eye on her and don't let her cause any trouble."

Xie Wanheng was copying calligraphy beside Shen Weicang. He almost held her in his arms, holding her hand as he wrote down their names stroke by stroke.

Zhong Yu reported from outside: "Second Young Master, the general is here and wants to see you."

Xie Wanheng remained unmoved, and after Shen Weicang wrote the last stroke of his name, he said calmly, "I understand."

"Wan Heng, go quickly, don't keep General Xie waiting for too long," Shen Weicang pushed him, "I'll play for a while and then go back."

Xie Wanheng lowered his head and put his face to her lips: "I won't leave unless Cang Cang kisses me."

Shen Weicang raised his hand and slapped him on the face, saying unhappily, "No, go away."

Xie Wanheng acted coquettishly: "Kiss me, Cangcang, please."

This time, before Shen Weicang could speak, the black snake came out and bit him on the face.

Xie Wanheng dodged skillfully, secretly hating it in his heart, thinking that this stupid snake seemed to be deliberately making things difficult for him. After getting married, he stewed it to make snake soup.

He stood up awkwardly and saw Shen Weicang gently comforting the black snake. He endured it in his heart. Forget it, Cangcang liked it, so it didn't matter if he endured it a little longer.

Seeing Xie Wanheng walk out the door, Shen Weicang smiled. He picked up the calligraphy that Xie Wanheng had specially prepared for her, took a look at it, and threw it on the table.

Thinking about the letter that Tan Wuning had sent a few days ago asking for peace, there was some confusion in her eyes.

If Tan Wuning liked Xie Wanheng, he could have just gone to find Xie Wanheng. Why was he so interested in her? What was it about her that attracted Tan Wuning?

Lan Zhinian is about to come to Chen State. She is in a good mood. When she returns to Yan State, she will be the queen of Yan State. As long as Tan Wuning doesn't come to cause trouble, Shen Weicang will not play tricks on her anymore.

However, when Tan Wu Ning said she wanted to take her to the New Year's Eve banquet at the Chen Kingdom Palace, Shen Weicang knew without a second thought that she had no good intentions.

An interesting idea came to her mind, and the little devil in her heart began to stir again.

Reaching out and picking up the pen again, she wrote a letter imitating Xie Wanheng's handwriting, read it again with interest, and waited until the ink was dry before folding it and putting it away.

At this moment, she didn't know whether she should expect Tan Wu Ning to take action against her. After all, she would not be able to see such an interesting show when she returned to Yan State.

Xie Wanheng walked into the study. Xie Zheng stood with his hands behind his back. Hearing his footsteps, he couldn't help but lecture him, "I've never seen a father who needs to wait for his son."

Xie Wanheng sat down in the chair nonchalantly: "Dad, if you don't want to wait, you don't have to wait."

Xie Zheng turned around, looking unhappy: "Were you with Miss Shen just now?"

"I have reminded you before that Miss Shen is the one favored by the Imperial Master. Do you really want to compete with him for her?"

Xie Wanheng's eyes turned cold:

"Cang Cang is not an object, what do you mean by robbing? She is a person and has the right to make her own choices. She chose me, so why can't I be with her?"

Xie Zheng was furious: "You know Tan Yuan's current status very well. He even suppresses me in front of His Majesty. Why do you fight with him? Because you are my son?"

He exhaled, and remembered the reason why he came to see Xie Wanheng. He flicked his sleeves, walked over and sat down in the chair.

"We'll talk about Miss Shen later. Yan State has a new emperor, and the Emperor of Yan is coming to Chen State."

Xie Wanheng's expression changed and he looked at Xie Zheng, waiting for him to continue.

"Lan Zhinian is not a simple person. When he was still the King of Ruyang, he led his troops to conquer several tribes on the southeastern border of Yan State. Now that he has just ascended the throne, he is coming to Chen State. He must be planning to turn against Chen State."

Xie Zheng said in a cold voice: "The war between the two countries will start again, I'm afraid it won't be long before it happens."

Xie Wanheng also knew something about Lan Jinian.

His biological mother was Concubine Dowager Feng, the imperial concubine who spared Lan's life out of weakness.

Concubine Feng Gui had a gentle personality, but somehow she raised a prince like Lan Zhinian who loved to compete.

He went to the southeastern border of Yan State when he was fifteen years old. At that time, Yan State and those tribes did not interfere with each other, but he provoked disputes less than two years after he arrived.

Ordinary military strategists always insist on having a legitimate reason for going to war, but Lan Jinian provoked the war completely without any reason and directly took over seven tribes on the border of Yan State. From then on, the territory of Yan State expanded to the southeast, and the vast area of ​​a thousand miles in radius was taken into the possession of Yan State.

His somewhat shocking actions were not very popular, and the court was originally divided into two factions, supporting him and the eldest prince Lan Zhicheng respectively.

After this incident, the late emperor felt that he was difficult to control and was worried that he would rebel against his father, so he appointed Lan Zhicheng as the crown prince.

When he returned to the capital, he wanted to take the opportunity to take the military power back from him. How could Lan Zhinian allow others to slaughter him?

He and Lan Zhicheng were fighting to the death. Once his military power was taken away, he would not live long.

At that time, Lan Zhicheng was busy marrying the Crown Princess. Lan Zhinian disrupted his marriage and took advantage of the chaos to return to the southeast.

Not long after, Lan Zhicheng ascended the throne, and Lan Zhinian directly led troops to rebel in the southeast, openly rebelling to seize the imperial power.

Xie Wanheng really didn't expect that he would act so quickly and replaced Lan Zhicheng in just over a year.

"If an enemy comes, we will stop him," he could not calm down. "Lan Zhinian has just ascended the throne, and he should not have the energy to start a war now."

Xie Zheng shook his head: "You still have to be prepared. Once the two countries go to war, you will definitely have to go to the battlefield."

Xie Wanheng also knew that Lan Zhinian was not a simple person. He never cared about worldly opinions when doing things, and would never hand over the initiative to others.

If he had no plans in mind, why would he come to the State of Chen when he had just ascended the throne and was busy with affairs?

"That's why I asked you to think it over carefully," Xie Zheng's topic returned to Shen Weicang, "She is from Yan. If the two countries go to war, her identity will definitely cause you trouble."

Xie Wanheng was thinking about something else.

Cang Cang told him that her parents were incompetent and she was often bullied in Yan State, otherwise she would not have come to Chen State.

Once the two countries go to war, she, a weak woman, will have no one to rely on on either side. Tan Yuan, as the culprit who drove Lan crazy, will surely be held accountable, so how can he protect her?

Yan Qizhao, the fickle man, has not appeared in front of Cang Cang in recent days. I'm afraid he has changed his mind a long time ago and is unreliable.

Besides myself, who else can protect Cang Cang?

Thinking of the weak and helpless appearance of his beloved, he felt an infinite desire to protect her, and secretly made up his mind that if a war really broke out, he would definitely protect Cang Cang.

Xie Zheng continued, "In my opinion, Miss Tan is more suitable for you. When she helped you get revenge, she gave this to my men and asked me to pass it on to you."

He opened his hand and handed it to Xie Wanheng, which contained a string of sword tassels.

The sword tassel looked very ordinary, but it made something flash through Xie Wanheng's mind.
