Chapter 21 Uncle

Liang Mingyu was stunned. Although she knew that her cousin was handsome, she felt that he had become much better looking after not seeing him for half a year.

Liang Guangwen looked left and right, then took his pulse to make sure that he was not feeling unwell, then he said, “Well, that’s

good.”

“However, don’t be careless. Even if you’ve healed, you still need some time to slowly recover. Remember, you can’t be out in the sun for too long.”

“Cheng’er understands.”

Liang Mingyu was drinking tea at the side. Seeing the two of them stop talking, she quickly asked, “Cousin, I heard that Mrs. Liu drugged you last night. Are you okay?”

Shen Juncheng smiled. “I’m fine. I’m not the one who was drugged. Don’t worry.”

Mingyu pursed her lips and said angrily, Iit must be the bride who drugged you.”

“I knew it. They are in cahoots. Su Anan is Mrs. Liu’s niece. She must be up to no good.”

Liang Mingyu didn’t believe the rumors about a servant girl. She thought that Mrs. Liu had deliberately sacrificed a servant girl to protect Su Anan.

“It’s not Su Anan,” Shen Juncheng explained.

Mingyu had a simple personality and was straightforward. Shen Juncheng did not intend to explain the whole story to her.

In Mingyu’s eyes, her cousin was already married and was starting to protect her, even though he knew that that person was a spy.

Liang Mingyu was unhappy.

She had been sad for a long time when her cousin suddenly got married.

Liang Guangwen saw through his daughter’s thoughts and said helplessly, “The reason is not as simple as you think. Alright, listen to me. Go find Yue Luo and I’ll take you to play after. I have something to tell Cheng’er,”

Liang Mingyu made an “oh” sound and got up obediently. She had always avoided her father and brother Shen when they were discussing important matters.

She wasn’t interested in what they would be talking about anyway.

Shen Juncheng smiled. “The purple peonies in Yalan residence have bloomed. Yu’er, don’t you like peonies? Have Yue Luo accompany you to enjoy them.”

Liang Mingyu’s eyes lit up. “Okay, then can I take some back and make them into sachets?”

“Sure.”

Liang Mingyu thanked him sweetly and left happily.

There were many varieties of peonies, but Wei Zi was rare. Her cousin was generous enough to allow her to pick them. It seemed like he really doted on her.

Liang Mingyu’s mood brightened up again, and she hummed a little tune as she went to find Yue Luo.

Once she left, Liang Guangwen got down to business. “What happened last night?”

Shen Juncheng briefly explained what had taken place the night prior.

After Liang Guangwen finished listening, he stroked his beard and pondered. Liu Shi had always been a cautious person, and she loved her reputation so much. Last night, she rashly used that kind of scheme, so it could be seen that she had the intention of testing the waters.

After so many years, she did not really believe that Cheng’er was a sickly person who was completely useless. This could be considered her unique sense of smell.

Liang Guangwen sighed. “This way, you’ve completely opened up a war with Chen Yong. In order to prevent you from returning to the capital smoothly, they will definitely think of ways to harm you. You have to be careful.”

“Don’t worry, uncle,” Shen Juncheng assured him.

Liang Guangwen believed in his nephew’s ability and asked, “That Concubine Su from last night really didn’t interfere?”

Shen Juncheng shook his head.

Su Anan did not do anything, but he had used her.

Liang Guangwen frowned. “Even so, you can’t let your guard down. Mrs. Liu chose someone to send here, so she can’t stand on the same line as you. Maybe she didn’t do anything last night and was just retreating in order to gain your trust.”

Furthermore, he had heard that Concubine Su was extremely beautiful. Perhaps she was trying to use her beauty to test Cheng’er’s eyesight. Shen Juncheng smiled faintly. “Cheng’er understands. Don’t worry, uncle.”
