Wang Ziteng's move was just to sacrifice Wang Ren and save the entire Wang family.

What's more, the mastermind of this incident was Wang Ren, and Wang Ziteng sacrificed his own relatives for the sake of justice. Even if the emperor blamed him, it was only a mistake due to poor teaching.

Lin Chengyu couldn't help but sigh, "What an old fox! Wang Ziteng is indeed the most useful person among the four major families. He has a sharp mind and is well-informed. He got the news right after we captured Feng Gang and figured out a countermeasure in such a short time."

"Cut off your tail to survive." Xuan Zheng waved his hand and asked the maids to go down. "Wang Ziteng is really courageous."

Even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. In Wang Ziteng's heart, the status of the Wang family is obviously much higher than that of Wang Ren.

So far, Wang Ren is the only abandoned piece in this game.

But there was nothing that could be done, since he was so cruel and brainless that even if he was sentenced to death by slow slicing, no one would feel sad except the Wang family.

Especially those who had been persecuted by him, they applauded and said that the killing was a good idea.

Mrs. Wang Ziteng cried herself to death several times, but nothing changed.

After Wang Ren died, the emperor's anger dissipated a little, but he still couldn't help but vent his anger on the Wang family. Sometimes when he saw Wang Ziteng, he would wonder if such a man who was not good at parenting might not be as upright as he showed to outsiders.

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will quickly take root and sprout, and eventually grow into towering trees.

Wang Ziteng's future had been bright, but after this incident, the emperor no longer trusted him, and his path to promotion seemed to have come to an abrupt end. The previously unquestionable inspection of the nine provinces also fell on the head of his mortal enemy.

The other members of the Wang family also had different thoughts.

Mrs. Wang Ziteng hated the Lin family the most. She suddenly lost her son in middle age and felt that she had no hope in this life. She simply gave up and threatened every day to burn all the Lin family members to death.

She was so crazy and terrifying that even the maids and servants who used to follow her didn't dare to get close to her.

But she is a member of the Wang family now. No matter what she does, the Wang family cannot escape responsibility, and the Wang family must not allow any more trouble to happen now.

For the sake of his family, Wang Ziteng had the crazy wife locked up in the yard. He only told outsiders that she had lost her son and fell ill due to great grief, and needed to rest for a while.

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng felt very complicated. Although the Lin family was the victim in this incident, the Wang family was the one who suffered the most.

Wang Ren is dead, his wife is crazy, and his master is abandoned by the emperor.

After something happens, it seems that everyone will quickly forget the truth of the matter and gradually begin to sympathize with the party that looks more pitiful at the moment, regardless of whether they are right or wrong.

When Lin Chengyu went back to the mansion to get something, Jia Min stopped her from leaving and she heard a lot of sad words.

Wang Xifeng now seems to be estranged from the Lin family. Jia Min is very sad about this and she holds Lin Chengyu and talks to her for a long time.

Lin Chengyu knew that she liked Wang Xifeng very much, but so many things had happened during this period of time. If Wang Xifeng was still as innocent as before, he would have to be on guard.

The current estrangement is just a normal human reaction.

Lin Chengyu had nothing to do today, so she comforted Jia Min for a long time and left only when it got dark.

After the beginning of spring, although the nights are cooler than the days, they are not as bitterly cold as in winter.

Lin Chengyu felt too hot when she went out, so she wore thin clothes. Now that the wind was blowing, she felt a little cold.

But it's not unbearable.

Because what I can't stand the most is the nagging person next to me.

Fourteen rode his horse and walked side by side with Lin Chengyu, talking non-stop: "I told you to bring a cloak, but you didn't agree. Now it's cold, isn't it? It seems that I was more foresighted..."

He shook his head, obviously pleased with himself.

Lin Chengyu said perfunctorily: "Yes, you are the most foresighted...Xuan Zheng!"

"The prince is not here, and the young master's sudden shout is quite scary." If we were to say who Fourteen is most afraid of, it would be no one other than Xuan Zheng. Lin Chengyu's shout really gave him a fright.

"Who is scaring people?" Xuan Zheng's voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them.

Lin Chengyu's eyes curved.

Fourteen's eyes opened very wide in an instant. He turned his neck slowly in disbelief and looked towards the source of the sound. When his sight touched Xuan Zheng's face, he suddenly jumped off his horse like a frightened rabbit, "Prince...Prince? When did you come here? Why didn't I hear any movement at all?"

At the end, Fourteen realized that his performance was too exaggerated. He laughed awkwardly twice and almost broke the reins in his hands.

Xuan Zheng easily carried Lin Chengyu to his horse, let him sit in front of him, and wrapped the two of them in the cloak. The warm breath instantly permeated Lin Chengyu's whole body.

Xuan Zheng wrapped his hand in his palm to warm it, glanced at Fourteen calmly, and said, "When you said foresight."

Fourteen laughed dryly twice again and couldn't help cursing himself in his heart.

I've been too comfortable during this period and have relaxed a lot.

But Fourteen also thought that it was because the Young Master was too strong that he let his guard down.

He was so dejected that he didn't dare to say a word. Lin Chengyu smiled and squeezed Xuan Zheng's hand.

In Lin Chengyu's opinion, a boy of fourteen is still a child, and the current situation is already pretty good.

Xuan Zheng didn't have time to say so much to Shi Si. As soon as he saw Lin Chengyu, he was the only one in his eyes and heart, with no room for anyone else or anything else.

"Your hands are so cold. They are still cold after I warmed them up for a while." Xuan Zheng lowered his head and whispered to Lin Chengyu, "Will you listen to me in the future? Although it is spring now, the late spring cold is also very severe. You are wearing such thin clothes. What if you catch a cold?"

As he spoke, the heat dyed Lin Chengyu's ears and neck red. He said stubbornly, "Then I'll infect you. Don't you want to share the joys and sorrows with me?"

Lin Chengyu's bright eyes were full of threats, as if she would beat Xuan Zheng to death here if he dared to say no.

Xuan Zheng smiled softly and rubbed his cheek against Lin Chengyu's. His stubble pricked him a little. Lin Chengyu tried to hide, but he deliberately moved closer. "Let me suffer all the hardships, and you just need to enjoy the good life. It's my good fortune that you are happy every day."

Lin Chengyu couldn't avoid it, and said unhappily: "Where did you learn this? You are so slick and dishonest."

Fourteen followed silently behind, wanting to see but not daring to.

The temperature in the cloak was higher than before. Lin Chengyu's palms were sweating. She nudged the person behind her with her shoulder, "Don't get so close. It's hot."

But Xuan Zheng obviously didn't want to hear this, and said like a scoundrel, "I'm cold."

Lin Chengyu glanced back, and as if suddenly realizing something, he said, "Oh... So you are weak."

"You..." Which man could remain calm after hearing this? Xuan Zheng was so angry that he wanted to teach this little bastard a lesson, but he couldn't bear to do it.

Lin Chengyu had a dog in his previous life. It was a big wolfdog that was extremely majestic and domineering. Whenever it got excited, it would lick people randomly.

I didn't expect that in this life, I would raise a creature that loves to bite people.

"Let go, or I'll beat you up."

The only response he got was Xuan Zheng's two vague words.

"Not loose."
