C375 What Does It Have to Do with You
"Hmph, now that things have come to this. . . Do you still want to play dumb?" Matriarch Chen paused for a moment, then suddenly said earnestly, "Che'er, ah. . . Grandma knows that you like that girl in your heart, but she is after all a criminal appointed by the Emperor. If you do this, you will undoubtedly implicate the entire Chen family. If you still know something. . . If you are still willing to acknowledge me as your grandma, then hand her over as soon as possible. I'm begging you on behalf of the entire Chen family, alright?"
"Grandmother, what are you talking about?" Chen Che looked innocently at the Matriarch and said, "When did I say that I was the one who took him away?"
When he said that, Not to mention others, even Matriarch Chen had a look of disbelief on her face. "If it wasn't you, who else could it be?"
"How would I know?" Chen Che curled his lips and said, "Soong Wuji, that old thief, has offended many people, and Miss Xiaoxiao is so pitiful. I think that it should be some kind person who can't bear to watch any longer. That's why he saved Miss Xiaoxiao. Haha, this feels good. This feels good!"
"Nephew seems to be very happy about offending Su Xiaoxiao yesterday night when she mysteriously disappeared from Myriad Flowers Tower. "
At this moment, a voice came from the door, followed by a thin but dignified middle-aged man, accompanied by a group of guards, appearing in front of everyone.
"Haha, Matriarch Chen, how have you been recently?" The moment he stepped into the Chen Mansion, the middle-aged man greeted Matriarch Chen warmly.
"Thanks to your Royal Highness, my body is quite tough. " Matriarch Chen cupped her hands towards the person who came and said, "May I know what wind is blowing today? What kind of status does your Royal Highness have? Why did you come to my Chen Mansion?"
There was no doubt that the newcomer was the current Royal Uncle and Soong Wuji of Great Song.
"Haha, what are you talking about, Matriarch? You are the number one person in our Great Song's business, and you are as strong as a man. I have made countless contributions to Great Song, and as a member of the royal family, What's wrong with the people who have come to pay a visit to the Great Song? " Soong Wuji smiled brightly. His sincere attitude could easily make people feel good about him. However, those who were familiar with him knew that he was a cunning man. In order to achieve his goal, he would use any means necessary. Humbly He had always been a disguise for him.
"Your Highness, you are too serious. I am just a businessman. Since ancient times. . . Businessmen have always had something to do with profit. It is good to say that I am slick. Whether I am crafty or not, it is all normal. But to say that I was a meritorious person. . . Then I really feel guilty. I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. " Matriarch Chen hurriedly waved her hand.
"Haha, how much effort did the Matriarch and Chen family put in? All the people of Great Song have seen it. Why would the Matriarch cover up for herself?" Soong Wuji smiled and then looked at the silent Chen Che. He asked with concern, "Nephew, it has been a few days since we last met. How have you been recovering?"
Chen Che raised his head and said with a sarcastic smile, "What does it have to do with you whether I am good or not?"
"How dare you!" Matriarch Chen immediately scolded angrily, "Quickly apologize to His Royal Highness!"
"Sigh, it is normal for young people to be angry. There is no need for the Matriarch to be angry. Be careful that her body will be damaged from anger. " Soong Wuji stopped Matriarch Chen. He sighed and said, "Furthermore, I did indeed do a little overboard back then. Virtuous Nephew bears a grudge against me. It's understandable, but I have my own reasons. It was precisely because he trusts me that the Emperor handed Su Xiaoxiao over to me to deal with. If I allow my nephew to take the suspect away, how should I explain it to the Emperor?"
" His Highness is responsible for his duty and what mistakes did he make? Everything was wrong with this unfilial son. He actually dared to disregard the Emperor's orders. As for his cultivation being crippled by His Highness, that was his own fault. He cannot blame anyone else! " Matriarch Chen sighed and said, "May Your Royal Highness please forgive him. This unfilial son was really spoiled by me when I was young. "
"Alright, let's not talk about the past. The Virtuous Nephew must have been trapped by love, that's why he would do such an impulsive thing. Now that he has sincerely changed, I think the Emperor will forgive him. " Soong Wuji paused for a moment and said, "To tell you the truth, Actually, I have come to disturb you this time, other than visiting the Matriarch. Is there another matter? "
"Oh?" Matriarch Chen said, "There is still something else. Your Highness, just say it. "
"That is good. " Soong Wuji nodded and said, "Regarding Su Xiaoxiao's matter, I believe the Matriarch already has some understanding, right?"
Matriarch Chen frowned and said, "Could it be that it is really as these few lords said, Su Xiaoxiao has already disappeared?"
"There is indeed such a thing. " Soong Wuji's face became serious as he said, "After I got the news, I have already sent more men to the entire Bianjing City to conduct a thorough search. However, there are still no clues until now. I also do not know who was so bold. Fortunately, the Emperor is still not aware of it. Otherwise, I am afraid that even I will not be able to escape the blame. "
"It will be hard on Your Highness. " Matriarch Chen said. She was confused. "But then again, how could the Royal Highness be so sure that Su Xiaoxiao was rescued and not escaped by himself?"
Soong Wuji stroked his beard and replied, "This is very simple. In order to prevent accidents from happening, Su Xiaoxiao was just a weak girl. Without any cultivation base, if she were to escape, My people will definitely hear the noise, but she still managed to escape. So there is one thing I am certain of, that Su Xiaoxiao must have an accomplice. As for who the accomplice is, I don't know. "
Speaking of this, Soong Wuji glanced at Chen Che intentionally or unintentionally. A cold smile instantly appeared on his face.
"I wonder who is so bold. Are you really not afraid of losing your head?" Matriarch Chen said angrily and suddenly changed the topic. "In that case, the reason why the Royal Highness came to the residence so early in the morning, could it be that he is also suspicious? This was done by my Che'er? "
"I naturally believe that nephew is innocent. It's just that the rumors are greater than a flood of ferocious beasts. Everyone in Bianjing knew about my nephew's feelings for Su Xiaoxiao. In order to stop them from talking, I had no choice but to come to Chen Mansion, even if it was just to put on a show. I think Matriarch Chen should be able to understand it, right? "
"Of course. " Matriarch Chen agreed, and said," Your Royal Highness can handle it impartially. The Chen Mansion will definitely cooperate to the end. Even if they really ask something, I will not be biased and allow Your Royal Highness to punish me. "
"Alright, I am waiting for the Matriarch's words. Since the Matriarch has spoken, I will speak frankly. " Soong Wuji said, "Nephew Chen Che, according to what I heard, you had a companion by your side when you went to Myriad Flowers Tower yesterday. I wonder where that person is now?"
When Chen Che heard this, he immediately let out a cold laugh and said, "The relationship between a prince and a prince is as shallow as water. Brother Mo and I met by chance, but we had a short conversation, so we agreed to travel together. How would I know where he is now?"
