As soon as Shangguan Shaoqin, the helmsman of the Shangguan family, appeared, he solved today's dilemma in a few words. After seeing this, Lin Jia and others felt greatly relieved, and they respected his attitude as always.
"I met my father."
The same goes for Shangguan Beicang. Although he doesn't like to be involved in family affairs, he has always respected and admired his father.
Especially in the chaos just now, Shangguan Shaoqin made the Qingcheng faction and the Jinyiwei retreat one after another while he was talking and laughing. This style made him admire him very much as a son.
"Um."
Shangguan Shaoqin nodded to everyone, with an elegant and gentle look, which made it impossible for people to associate him with the fierce business giant of the Shangguan family.
"Husband..."
Le Zhili was supporting the injured Wen Chenyang, and the two of them were sitting on the floor together. When Shangguan Shaoqin came in front of him, at first glance, it seemed that he, the upright husband, was the outsider.
Le Zhili also felt the embarrassment in the atmosphere. She tried to ease it all, but the method she used was extremely stupid.
"Husband, Brother Wen is a bit seriously injured. I'll send him back to his room to recuperate first..." Le Zhili lowered her head and finished.
Shangguan Shaoqin had a faint smile on his face, and the brilliance in his eyes seemed to dim a bit. He was silent for only a moment, and then he agreed nonchalantly: "Okay."
Le Zhili breathed a sigh of relief, and left with Wen Chenyang, who was coughing uncontrollably, regardless of the complicated looks from everyone.
When the two of them left, Lin Jia and his party all lowered their heads like wood and stopped making any sound. They all saw the flash of disappointment on Shangguan Shaoqin's face. They were all feeling sorry for the family leader's glorious reputation. Why?
He just married this woman and came back.
At this moment, Shangguan Beicang also had a ray of light on his back. He lowered his head and stared at his shoes in embarrassment, not daring to speak out.
Even though he liked Wen Chenyang as a master and respected Le Zhili as a mother, Shangguan Beicang still felt that their actions deeply hurt his father's heart.
But as a son of a man, it was really difficult for him to open his mouth to comment on the matters between his parents. At this time, all he could do was remain silent.
Shangguan Shaoqin had a clear view of everyone's reactions, and he quietly suppressed the smile in his eyes. He was very satisfied with today's performance.
Le Zhili is a stupid woman, and he knew this from the beginning. The more stupid the other party behaves, the more benefits he will get in the end.
After all, if she wasn't a completely stupid person, how could she make the world believe that she would collude with the forces in the East Palace for evil intentions?
"cough."
Shangguan Shaoqin coughed, rearranged his expression, and then said to Shangguan Beicang: "Your master is injured. As a disciple, you should serve him by the side. Go ahead."
"Yes, my son is resigning." Shangguan Beicang just couldn't find an excuse to leave. When he heard this arrangement, he immediately felt like he was being pardoned and hurriedly ran away.
Lin Jia and others had mixed feelings. In their view, Shangguan Shaoqin's decision to ask Shangguan Beicang to serve as an excuse was probably just an excuse. The real purpose was to prevent Le Zhili and Wen Chenyang from getting into trouble.
What they didn't know was that Shangguan Shaoqin was simply too lazy to see his fat son.
It was not because he had any prejudice against Le Zhili himself. As a father, Shangguan Shaoqin was quite open-minded. Although the other party's mother was just a pawn of his, he actually had some expectations for this son.
The reason why it was later decided to let Shangguan Beicang become a disciple along with his mother to increase the bargaining chip that Shangguan could afford was actually because Shangguan Shaoqin had observed that his son, with his mediocre appearance, was very embarrassed.
There was no family bond to maintain from the beginning, and he couldn't see his son's talents at all, so Shangguan Shaoqin had no grudge and let him fend for himself. He didn't care even if his son wandered around the world regardless of his family fortune. After all, he had never been
I didn't have any expectations for this son, so naturally I couldn't be disappointed.
After Shangguan Beicang left, Shangguan Shaoqin looked at Lin Jia and asked, "Tell me everything."
Among this group of people, only Lin Jia could gain the trust of Shangguan Shaoqin. He was very loyal and good at martial arts, and he was also very smooth in dealing with people. Unfortunately, he was not smart enough to become his confidant.
But even so, among the talents cultivated by the Shangguan family, Lin Jia is also the best.
"yes."
After Lin Jia responded, he stepped forward and told everything that had happened in Dongdu recently, including the grudge between his wife Le Zhili and Qianhu Ying Wushang, the Qingcheng faction, and the actions he committed today.
"Lin Jia has no dignity, please ask the master of the family to punish him!" After saying this, Lin Jia knelt down to apologize.
As he knelt down, the masters behind him also retreated with a cheer, and everyone said in unison: "We are also guilty, please punish the master."
Shangguan Shaoqin's face showed embarrassment at the right time, but in his heart he had already expected this phenomenon, and this was also the result he expected.
Although he allowed Le Zhili to turn Shangguan's family into a mess, it was precisely because of this that while he needed the other party to be stupid, he could not really let the other party borrow strength from Shangguan's family.
Lin Jia's existence is just in case. As a domestic slave, his attitude of putting everything in the family above himself can really effectively prevent Le Zhili from harming the foundation of the Shangguan family.
Shangguan Shaoqin is actually a greedy person. He wants to use Le Zhili to save his life, but he doesn't want Le Zhili to really mess up his family, even if it's just for show.
"What are you doing wrong? Get up quickly."
Shangguan Shaoqin showed no choice but to follow the good deeds. It seemed that because Lin Jia and others were in large numbers, he had no choice but to give up the punishment. This excessive indulgence towards Le Zhili also chilled the hearts of many retainers.
Shangguan Shaoqin knew that this kind of thing was unavoidable, but he still did it, because after everyone was disappointed, as long as he guided it appropriately, the disappointment and even anger would eventually be directed to Le Zhili, the mistress.
In the future, as Le Zhili and Shangguan Beicang follow the East Palace towards destruction, all this anger will disappear. By then, the Shangguan family will still be peaceful and peaceful, and everything will be the same as before.
Shangguan Shaoqin thought very clearly about enduring temporary pain and ensuring eternal peace.
"Today's matter, you are waiting for the family's consideration, as for the rest... forget it."
Shangguan Shaoqin's choice was to turn a big deal into a trivial matter. This conciliatory attitude made many people dissatisfied, and also made many people not worth it for Lin Jia.
However, the benevolence and kindness shown by Shangguan Shaoqin, the head of the family, and the fact that he was also played by Le Zhili, made everyone unable to bear to put the blame on him. In the end, as he expected, everyone felt bad about the mistress.
