After rebirth, the scumbag prince only wants to pamper his wife every day

When those people came.

The person who wanted to see him was not him, but He Qingchen.

Wang Huan originally wanted to send them away.

However, as soon as they left the palace, they sat down at a noodle stall outside the palace, ate slowly, and even looked towards the palace from time to time.

The purpose is self-evident.

They didn't know the prince's schedule, so they could only use the dumbest method and wait outside the palace.

Whether the prince is returning to the palace or leaving, there will always be a time to meet him.

Wang Huan was worried that his replacement of Zhuangzi's manager would be discovered, so he took He Qingchen to his own yard while He Qingchen was away, and immediately sent someone to find Cao Quan.

When the people came, he asked them to explain the reason without much patience, and the two sides confronted each other.

Those people were vague in their responses and kept repeating the same thing: Cao Quan had seized their paddy fields and fruit seedlings, and asked them to pay the rent for that year again, and even semi-forced them to take their daughters as concubines.

Wang Huan rolled his eyes upon hearing this.

Cao Quan's heart is higher than the sky.

I always feel that I will have great fortune in the future.

Therefore, although he was not very picky in choosing wives and concubines, he did not have no conditions at all.

At that time, Cao Quan had just gotten married.

His first wife was his cousin.

The two were in love with each other, so how could they force a peasant girl to be their concubine?

It sounds like nonsense.

But what was said before, about seizing the fruit seedlings and paddy fields, might be true.

In fact, Cao Quan also believed this.

But it wasn't as serious as they said.

in contrast.

Cao Quan had legitimate reasons and paid enough money to take those things.

It was just that they saw that the fruit seedlings were growing well and saw the benefits they would bring in the future, and they were not satisfied with what Cao Quan gave them, so they made a fuss and caused all these troubles.

In this way, Wang Huan no longer had the energy to deal with them.

He just summoned the guards and had the man thrown out of the house.

He gave Cao Quan a severe reprimand and then let him go.

After that, the next few times when those tenant farmers came, he had people drive them away. After a while, he guessed that they realized that they would not only gain nothing by making such a fuss, but would also bring them into conflict with the Prince of Yan's Mansion, so they stopped.

Wang Huan explained everything in detail without evading any reason.

He Qingchen sat there without saying a word.

The light and shadow from the study window came in and shone on the cabinet behind He Qingchen. The cabinet cast a shadow, faintly covering He Qingchen's face, making it impossible to see He Qingchen's expression.

Wang Huan didn't dare to breathe, and his heart became heavier.

Yet there is a glimmer of hope.

Over the years, he has been quite strict in controlling Cao Quan, and Cao Quan has been quite well-behaved and has not committed any serious crimes.

Although the prince has discovered some of Cao Quan's actions, it should not be a big deal.

In the past few years, he followed the prince through life and death.

Your Majesty would not get so angry over some trivial matters a few years ago and the small amount of money that Cao Quan embezzled, right?

What's more, he took the initiative to step forward, handed over the account book, and stated that he would make up for the silver that Cao Quan had embezzled. The prince was a man of loyalty and righteousness, so he would definitely not do anything to him. At most, he would just scold him.

Wang Huan thought more and more confidently.

however.

He Qingchen's next words made him feel like he was falling into an icy cave.

"Wang Huan."

He Qingchen's tone was slightly deep, and he called him, "When did I ever verbally or in writing promise you to act on my behalf?"

Wang Huan's body stiffened.

"I, I don't understand what Your Majesty means."

"Those tenant farmers came to your house to seek help, but you drove them out. They are unwilling to leave and are waiting outside on blankets. Don't you know who they are here for?"

Wang Huan’s face turned pale.

How could you not know?

But that was the first time he replaced the manager of Zhuangzi without He Qingchen's knowledge and arranged his own people to handle the important events in the past.

How dare he let He Qingchen know?

What's more, He Qingchen never cared about those trivial matters. He believed that he could handle it himself, so there was really no need to disturb He Qingchen.

Therefore, he did not report the matter to his superiors.

Unexpectedly, He Qingchen actually brought it up.

"Why don't you say anything?" He Qingchen said with a sneer.

Wang Huan felt a chill down his spine.

He opened his mouth and hesitantly said, "Yes, I came to see you."

"Then why have I never heard of anyone from the farm coming to see me? And why have you never mentioned this?" He Qingchen asked knowingly, and by the end of his words, it was as if a layer of ice had frozen over him.

Wang Huan was sweating profusely, not knowing how to explain.

"I, my subordinate, was at that time, because..."

"If you can't make it up, then don't make it up." He Qingchen snorted coldly, looked at him with disappointment, and then continued to ask: "Wang Huan, back then, I specially selected the manager of the manor. Later, how did he die?"

----------

There is still a little bit to come. I took my kids to Shenzhen, so I don’t have time to write it tonight. I will make it up when I get home tomorrow.

repair:

Wang Huan moved his mouth and met He Qingchen's cold eyes, feeling the chill spreading through his body.

He pursed his lips.

For a long time.

Then he said with difficulty: "Yes, the people in Zhuangzi reported it. It was an accident. He died accidentally."

He emphasized the last sentence.

I don’t know whether he is trying to convince himself or He Qingchen.

He Qingchen's face became even colder: "Accident? What kind of accident? The steward selected by me personally to manage the manor is a person of some importance in front of me, and he also has some weight in the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

He died, and the news was reported that it was an accident.

Have you ever thought that the people in Zhuangzi might lie?

Have you never thought about double checking and carefully verifying the authenticity of the news?

Or maybe you knew the truth from the beginning.

I also know that his death is still in doubt, but you have someone you want to favor, so you just go with the flow and conceal the matter, and fill in the vacancy at the same time?"

"I..." Wang Huan was stunned and explained quickly: "Your Highness, the manor's steward did die in an accident. Although I am biased towards Cao Quan, it is a matter of life and death. How dare I cover it up? Cao Quan has been timid since he was a child. He would never do such a dehumanizing thing just for the position of manor's steward."

He Qingchen was furious when he heard the voice.

He slammed the table.

Then he grabbed the inkstone on the table and threw it out, cursing: "Are you a coward? You won't do such inhumane things? Wang Huan, are you sure you still understand your relative?"

Wang Huan did not dodge or evade.

The inkstone hit Wang Huan on the heart.

He groaned, looked at He Qingchen tremblingly, and said puzzledly: "Your Highness, Cao Quan is my cousin. He has been with me since he was a child. With me in front of him, he dare not do anything reckless. There must be a misunderstanding. I..."

"Misunderstand?"
