Chapter 510 Playing Dumb

As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face!

But for some reason, when he saw the warm face of the young man in front of him with a bright smile, Chen Hongsheng had the urge to punch him in the face!

calm!

Be calm!

Chen Hongsheng's expression became increasingly vigilant. He looked down upon this prince!

This prince looks harmless on the surface, but in fact he has weird thoughts... He is not a good person!

It was obviously for him!

Even Lin Hengzhong wanted to give him some bad treatment, but Prince Lin Wang dared to block him outside the door so openly, and now he acted out such a perfunctory show that insulted his IQ in front of him.

It is definitely not like the dandy behavior of this prince, he is clearly well prepared.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, Chen Hongsheng looked at the 'harmless' prince in front of him and forced a smile on his face.

"How come?"

"I heard that the Crown Prince has just come back from the capital, and he must be busy with business. My visit today is considered an interruption. I hope His Highness doesn't blame him."

"Uncle Chen's words are serious!"

Lin Jiangnian waved his hand and said with a smile: "Uncle Chen and my father are good friends and can be regarded as the elders of this prince. It's too late for my prince to be happy when Uncle Chen comes to visit, so how can he dare to blame him?"

When the housekeeper who was following Chen Hongsheng heard this, he felt a hint of anger in his heart. Prince Lin really knew how to tell lies. If he hadn't done this deliberately, how would the guards of the palace dare to block his master from the door?

It was clearly done on purpose, to give my master a show of strength, and now you are still pretending that you don’t dare?

As the steward of the Chen family, when had you ever been humiliated like this?

However, when he thought of the other party's identity, the housekeeper suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Hey, Uncle Chen is here to visit. How can you let Uncle Chen stand outside the door? Please come in quickly!"

At this time, Lin Jiangnian seemed to have come to his senses and quickly greeted: "Uncle Chen, please come in!"

After saying that, he turned to look at the guards at the door: "What are you still doing? Why don't you treat Uncle Chen well?"

"If you neglect me, look back and see how I deal with you!"

…

In Prince Lin's Mansion, the reception room.

The servants of the palace brought tea and food to entertain Chen Hongsheng, who finally entered the palace.

But Chen Hongsheng's face still doesn't look good!

After being treated by this Prince Lin, who showed false enthusiasm, he was filled with anger in his chest and had nowhere to vent.

"I heard that the prince was assassinated by an assassin some time ago. I wonder how his health is now? Is he feeling better?"

After a long silence, a smile appeared on Chen Hongsheng's face and he asked, breaking the silence.

"Thank you Uncle Chen for your concern."

Lin Jiangnian said with a smile: "It's good. My father will not die. Don't worry, Uncle Chen."

Chen Hongsheng: "..."

How could anyone describe his father like this?

Can't die?

This made Chen Hongsheng even more confused and cautious... What is the situation of Prince Lin now?

Dead? Still alive?

Or seriously injured?

Hearing Lin Jiangnian's answer, Chen Hongsheng became even more worried.

However, he still suppressed his emotions for the time being.

"Linjiang City is still waiting for the prince to take charge of the overall situation. As long as the prince is fine, I can rest assured."

Chen Hongsheng spoke, his eyes fell on Lin Jiangnian, and he said slowly: "I came here today, and I have something else to ask Your Highness. Is it convenient??"

"oh?"

Lin Jiangnian looked surprised and surprised: "I wonder what Uncle Chen wants to do with this prince?"

Still pretending!

A hint of gloom flashed in Chen Hongsheng's eyes.

He realized that if he didn't take the initiative to mention it today, Prince Lin would probably pretend to be dumbfounded. But once he mentions this matter first, he will definitely become passive.

"I'm here today because of my rebellious son!"

Chen Hongsheng narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Lin Jiangnian with a deep gaze. After weighing the pros and cons, he said in a deep voice: "I heard someone from the family came to report that His Highness sent someone to arrest the traitor of my family yesterday. Is this the case?"

"What? Such a thing could happen?!"

Lin Jiangnian's face was full of surprise: "Did Uncle Chen misunderstand something? How could I arrest Uncle Chen's son?"

"Could it be a mistake?"

Chen Hongsheng suppressed the anger in his heart: "It is absolutely true, that traitor was captured by His Highness's people."

Yesterday, so many people heard him personally order people to be arrested, and now they are pretending to be stupid with him? !

"yesterday?"

Lin Jiangnian's face was still full of surprise: "It shouldn't be? How could my prince arrest Uncle Chen's young master? Isn't this nonsense? However, yesterday the prince did order someone to be arrested, but I heard that that person was a man who had taken advantage of him. A man's wife and daughter, and a beast who beat his husband to death in public..."

At this point, Lin Jiangnian suddenly shut up, as if he realized something, and his eyes became a little strange, as if he suddenly realized something.

When he looked at Chen Hongsheng, he looked a little confused, as if he was a little... embarrassed?

At this time, Chen Hongsheng's face had already turned very dark. His voice was slightly cold: "The person your Highness arrested is my rebellious son!"

"However, the so-called seizing other people's wives and daughters, and killing people in the street are not true at all. They are all framed by others."

It is naturally impossible for Chen Hongsheng to admit this!

He also understood that Prince Lin in front of him was deliberately forcing him to speak, but he had to come!

Chen Junru fell into Prince Lin's Mansion. If he didn't take him away quickly, he didn't know what the situation would turn into.

"Is that so?"

Lin Jiangnian 'suddenly realized': "So, this prince has wrongly blamed Mr. Chen?"

"That's right. Mr. Chen is Uncle Chen's beloved son. How could he do such a thing that is worse than a beast? Someone must have slandered him!"

Lin Jiangnian's expression became angry and he immediately turned his head: "Here comes someone!"

"Your Highness."

A guard figure appeared outside the hall.

It was Lin Kong.

"What's going on?"

Lin Jiangnian's voice was slightly cold as he scolded: "Master Chen is innocent, how could he have raped other people's wives and daughters at will? You have arrested the wrong person, why don't you quickly apologize to Uncle Chen!"

Lin Kong: "..."

His Highness ordered the arrest. His Highness knows better than anyone whether there is any problem with Chen Junru.

However, since His Highness spoke like this, Lin Kong naturally would not expose it and said cooperatively: "Your Highness, I did not arrest the wrong person!"

"How come you didn't arrest the wrong person? Did you do it on purpose?"

"That's absolutely not the case!"

Lin Kong looked determined, turned to look at Chen Hongsheng, and then said firmly: "My subordinates have investigated that Mr. Chen's young master is indeed suspected of promiscuous wife and daughter!"

"What?!"

Lin Jiangnian had a look of astonishment on his face: "How is it possible?! How could Uncle Chen's beloved son do such a thing? Is someone framing the blame?!"

"I can't guarantee it, but this matter is indeed related to Mr. Chen."

Lin Kong saw the hint in His Highness's eyes and said without changing his expression: "In accordance with the laws of the dynasty, I have temporarily invited Mr. Chen to come to the palace to sit for a while before Mr. Chen is cleared of suspicion."

As a subordinate, you should take all the blame on yourself. There are not many fools who can hang out in Prince Lin's Mansion.

"Uncle Chen, I'm afraid this matter is a bit troublesome..."

After hearing this, Lin Jiangnian looked at Chen Hongsheng, a little confused: "Uncle Chen, you heard it too... Of course, I believe that there must be some misunderstanding here. However, they also acted in accordance with the law, so they asked Uncle Chen Don’t embarrass them…”

Chen Hongsheng looked at the two people singing in harmony with a cold expression. Naturally, he didn't believe that Lin Jiangnian didn't know the situation. The scene was clearly played for him!

Lin Jiangnian removed himself from this matter, shifted all the responsibilities to his subordinates, and even brought out the Daning Law.

Clearly already prepared!

"But don't worry, Uncle Chen. This prince will definitely investigate this matter. Mr. Chen will never be wronged in the palace. When the matter is investigated clearly, my prince will personally return Mr. Chen to the Chen Mansion."

"Uncle Chen, what do you think?"

Chen Hongsheng looked at the young face in front of him with a smile on his face. The smile was very sincere and kind.

But when it fell in Chen Hongsheng's eyes, it made him shudder inexplicably.

In the past, he had never taken Prince Lin seriously, even though he was Lin Hengzhong's son, but how much scheming could a playboy who grew up in a privileged environment have?

But today, he really saw the 'cunning' side of Prince Lin.

After a year of not seeing him, he has changed a lot!

This feeling made Chen Hongsheng feel a little scared!

"In that case, thank you so much, Your Majesty!"

Chen Hongsheng had a smile on his face. The Prince Lin had already finished speaking, and all his escape routes had been blocked.

Nothing you say at the moment will help.

Today, I'm afraid he won't be able to take Chen Junru away.

"It's getting late, so I'll take my leave!"

Chen Hongsheng stood up and left.

"Come here, send Uncle Chen off!"

"No need!"

Chen Hongsheng rolled his sleeves and left Prince Lin's Mansion with the butler beside him.

After leaving the palace, the butler who had been silent all along finally showed an anxious look on his face: "Master, shouldn't we save the young master?"

"Save? How to save?"

Outside the palace, Chen Hongsheng's eyes were deep and cold: "This Lin Jiangnian has blocked all my words and never gave him a chance to speak!"

The housekeeper felt a little aggrieved: "Prince Lin, is it true that you don't want to give me any face?"

"Haha, if he had given me face, he wouldn't have acted like this today!"

Chen Hongsheng sneered.

The posture Prince Lin put out today clearly had no intention of letting him go.

If he forced the palace to release people, not to mention whether Junru could be rescued. I'm afraid that as soon as the front man leaves, the news will spread throughout Linjiang City that the Chen family is bullying others and putting pressure on Prince Lin's Mansion.

By then, the Chen family will really become the target of public criticism!

The housekeeper also realized this and looked a little ugly: "Then Master, why don't we save the young master?"

"The young master falls into Prince Lin's Mansion, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Chen Hongsheng looked ugly and cursed: "This traitor is all his own fault. If he hadn't done such a stupid thing, why would I need to be so embarrassed today?!"

"Something that fails to accomplish anything but fails to accomplish anything!"

The housekeeper didn't dare to speak, he could sense that the master was very angry!

After a while, Chen Hongsheng took a deep breath, gradually calmed down, and then narrowed his eyes: "Send someone to send letters to several other aristocratic families, asking them to come forward to put pressure on the palace and make things better!"

The housekeeper understood what the master meant and was a little worried: "Sir, will our actions annoy Prince Lin?"

"I'm afraid he has too much time to take care of himself now!"

Chen Hongsheng said coldly: "Is Lin Hengzhong really fine? How come he hasn't shown up for so long? He is very likely to have a big problem now, and it is even more likely..."

He didn't continue, but the housekeeper understood.

It has been so long since Prince Lin was attacked, but there has been no news from Prince Lin's Mansion. No one knows what happened, but as time goes by, many people tend to speculate that something has happened to Lin Hengzhong.

"Without Lin Hengzhong, how can he, the prince of Prince Lin, represent Prince Lin's Mansion?"

Chen Hongsheng said coldly: "I want to see how capable he is!"

"..."

Princess Mansion.

After Chen Hongsheng left, Lin Jiangnian's smile gradually faded. Then he stretched, stood up, and glanced at Lin Kong outside the courtyard: "Send someone to keep an eye on other families in Linjiang City, especially those that are closely related to the Chen family and close to the family and officials, to see if they have any movement..."

"Yes."

Lin Kong received the order and withdrew.

Lin Jiangnian looked at the sky and it was still early.

He hadn't had time to rest since he returned to the palace yesterday.

Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian turned around and was about to leave.

A figure in white quietly appeared in the corridor in his sight, standing there quietly, looking at him.

"Why are you here?"

Lin Jiangnian was a little surprised and stepped closer.

In the corridor, Li Piaomiao's black hair fluttered, her expression was indifferent, and she stared at Lin Jiangnian quietly.

"Were you eavesdropping just now?"

Li Piaomiao did not answer, still staring at him.

"What's the matter, just say it directly?"

Lin Jiangnian sighed. From past experience, Li Piaomiao must have something to ask him.

Looking at her expression, Lin Jiangnian guessed it.

Sure enough, Li Piaomiao was silent for a moment and then spoke.

"Ruyi Tower!"

Concise and to the point.

A cold face and cold red lips uttered an unkind tone.

"So urgent?"

Li Piaomiao didn't say anything.

"Okay."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her: "It's okay to take you to Ruyi Tower, but I have a request!"

Li Piaomiao looked at him.

"After you go in, you can't act alone, you can't barge in, you can't leave my sight... Especially on the top floor, no outsiders can get close."

"Do you understand?"

Li Piaomiao had no expression on her face.

She seemed a little unhappy with Lin Jiangnian's tone, but she didn't show it.

Nodding silently.

"Okay then!"

Lin Jiangnian nodded: "Come with me."

As he said, Lin Jiangnian led her outside.

After walking for a while, Li Piaomiao frowned slightly, "This is not the way to Ruyi Tower!"

"Hey, you are familiar with my house?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her sideways and said happily: "Don't ask so many questions, just follow me first!"

Li Piaomiao looked at Lin Jiangnian's unreasonable demeanor with a blank expression on her face. But in the end, she still didn't show anything.

She followed silently. (End of this chapter)
