She is a heartthrob who wants to live a good life

Chapter 239 Green Tea Selfish Cousin 8

Lan's expression was quite amusing. Shen Weicang admired it for a while before lowering his head and saying respectfully:

"Aunt, these are the amulets and beads you asked me to get."

Lan forced a smile and said, "Nothing serious. I just have a fever and a headache."

She asked tentatively:

"You've worked hard, Cang Cang. It took me a while after you left to remember that I should have arranged some guards to follow you. Did you encounter any danger on the way?"

Shen Weicang shook his head honestly: "No, I made my aunt worry about me."

Lan's face looked even uglier. She felt a little uneasy. The more she looked at Shen Weicang's gentle and harmless face, the scarier she felt. How did she avoid the attack?

"Cang Cang, auntie needs to rest for a while, you can go back to your yard."

Shen Weicang asked with concern: "Aunt, does your head hurt? How about I give you a massage?"

Lan shook his head:

"Cang Cang is thoughtful. How can I let you do this kind of serving work? You must be tired after this trip. Go back and rest."

After Shen Weicang left, Lan threw away the wooden box presented by the maid. Before she could get angry, another maid brought a letter: "Madam, this is... from Chen Feng."

Lan turned back to the house, unfolded the letter and took a look. She was so angry that she swept all the teacups on the table to the ground: "How dare he turn against me? It seems that he is tired of living!"

She was very angry, but she didn't have a suitable knife in her hand. Xie Zheng no longer had the tenderness he had for her in the past.

Although she held the power of housekeeper, Xie Zheng had never let her have access to the power to actually dispatch private soldiers in the general's mansion.

Today's plan to plot against Shen Weicang failed, and now he cannot use her to hold Xie Wanheng hostage as his own knife.

Ironically, she originally wanted to achieve her goal through Chen Feng, but she didn't expect that this man would turn against her.

He is indeed a dishonest bandit, Lan's eyes flashed with coldness.

It doesn’t matter. Since this method cannot be used to control Shen Weilai, let’s proceed to the next step.

Ordinary women were not in Xie Wanheng's eyes, and she didn't believe that he couldn't even look down on a beauty like Shen Weicang.

Thinking that she would receive a reply to the letter she wrote to the State of Yan in a few days, Lan felt much more relieved.

In Xie Wanheng's courtyard, his servants were reporting what Lan had done in the past few days.

"Today she asked Shen Weicang to go to Zhenguo Temple alone to help her get something, and arranged for a few men..."

The attendant knew that this kind of thing was a taboo for Xie Wanheng, so he paused for a moment, did not explain it clearly, and then continued:

"However, Shen Weicang got on the imperial master's carriage not long after he left the general's mansion, so those people didn't dare to make a move."

Xie Wanheng stroked the scar on the back of his left hand with his right hand, and there was no emotion on his face: "There is no point in keeping those people, so let's get rid of them."

Back then, he went up the mountain alone and broke into the bandits' den, killing their second-in-command and half of the bandits. The fact that Chen Feng didn't die was enough to allow him to survive for the past few years.

At that time, he was not capable enough, and later he wanted to see when the Lan family and Chen Feng would start to fight each other.

Lan really hasn't changed her old habits. She will use this despicable trick until the end of time.

The attendant hesitated and said, "Chen Feng and the Lan family have fallen out, Second Young Master, why don't we wait a little longer..."

"is it?"

The attendant took out a letter and said, "Chen Feng threatened Lan and wanted to post all the things she had done on the streets of the capital."

Xie Wanheng took it and glanced at it casually, revealing a mocking expression: "Why wait until Lan doesn't give him the money before taking action? I can help him right now."

"Second Young Master means..."

"No hurry, isn't it her birthday the day after tomorrow?" Xie Wanheng threw the paper casually, accurately throwing it onto the candle flame that had just been lit, and soon the paper burned to ashes.

"It's my stepmother's birthday, how can I, as her son, not give her a big gift to let her shine."

The attendant was somewhat puzzled:

"This kind of thing is just a trivial matter to the Lan family. Without evidence, she can argue that it was Aunt Qin who was unlucky enough to run into bandits."

Lan was Princess Guihe of Yan State and Lady Consort of Chen State. The unclear death of a mere concubine was indeed not worth mentioning.

Xie Wanheng chuckled, and it was impossible to tell what his mood was.

"No one would care if a concubine died, but as the wife of a general, she colluded with bandits. I'm afraid it's even more indefensible."

Xie Zheng was ordered to suppress bandits and reported to the court that all the bandit problems around the capital had been eliminated. Who would have thought that his wife was sheltering such a group of bandits.

It was late at night, and Xie Wanheng was still reading when the attendant hurried in again: "Second Young Master, something happened at Lanxinyuan."

"What?" He turned the page calmly, "Dead?"

The attendant stammered: "It's almost the same as being dead..."

After all, it's still considered death if you embarrass yourself to death.

Xie Wanheng raised his head: "What happened?"

"That's it... The general returned home today, and his wife wanted to have some tenderness with him... but unexpectedly, when they were in the mood, a snake crawled out from nowhere and bit them both..."

Xie Wanheng's expressionless face cracked, revealing an expression of disbelief, disbelief, and unwillingness to listen: "What happened next?"

The attendant continued:

"The two are still... still connected. We've already called a doctor, but it's really inconvenient to show this to others. Madam has been crying out in pain, the general is furious, and Lanxin Garden is in chaos."

Xie Wanheng wanted to continue reading, but he couldn't. He simply put the book down and asked, "How could a snake crawl into their bedroom?"

The attendant shook his head: "This...I don't know either."

"Did you catch it?" Xie Wanheng felt sorry for the snake in his heart. If it was caught by Xie Zheng, it would probably die a miserable death.

The attendant shook his head again: "That snake is so elusive that even its shadow has not been caught."

Xie Wanheng then remembered something: "Where is Shen Weicang's yard?"

Shen Weicang is with Tan Yuan today, so that snake couldn't be Tan Yuan's.

However, the snake in Tan Yuan has never shown itself to others, so how could it be in the general's mansion?

Moreover, he had seen that snake before. It was very arrogant and would not be willing to bite Lan and Xie Zheng, especially under such circumstances.

"In Chaoyun Garden," the attendant saw Xie Wanheng stand up and followed him with some confusion, "Second Young Master, where are you going?"

Xie Wanheng's voice was light and fluttery: "Chaoyun Garden."

He wanted to see who could get on Tan Yuan's carriage.

Shen Weicang was about to go to sleep when a black snake suddenly crawled up. She grabbed its tail and threw it down: "Snakes can't get on the bed. Don't you usually sleep on the floor?"

Normally, the black snake would coil outside her bed curtains to guard her when she slept, but today it somehow crawled up.

The black snake continued to climb up relentlessly. Shen Weicang got tired of throwing it several times, so he held it in front of him:

"How come you've become so squeamish in less than a month since you've been with me? You're a snake, so why do you have to sleep on the bed?"

"..."

The black snake spat out its tongue at her, wrapped its tail around her fingers, and crawled out.

Shen Weicang saw what it meant and asked in confusion: "Where are you taking me?"

She got up from the bed, thought for a moment, put on her clothes again, let her long hair down, opened the door and walked out.
