Chi Rui looked at Song Qiyun and Bai Meng in front of him, then squinted his eyes and looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha. Because they were too far apart and the candlelight was dim, he couldn't see their expressions clearly, but he could also feel their calmness. He didn't seem to be impressed by the news.
In fact, the Eldest Young Master's words really aroused everyone's curiosity. The fact that there was a mastermind behind Mrs. Teng did not surprise them at all. What they were more concerned about was who was the mastermind behind this. Man, what is the origin?
Shen Haolin and Shen Cha looked at each other, and both of them simultaneously remembered the discussion they had with Xuanyuan Liang and Tantai Pingchuan in Xuanyuan Courtyard last night.
"Two seniors, I don't think Mrs. Teng can set up such a big chess game on her own."
Shen Cha remembered what he said, and this statement was supported by Xuanyuan Liang, but Shen Haolin and Tantai Pingchuan held different opinions.
These two people believe that Mrs. Teng's methods, scheming, and strategies are all top-notch, and she can definitely set up such a trap.
"If, as Cha'er said, there is another hand behind Mrs. Teng's back, that would be very scary."
Shen Cha thought of what Shen Haolin said, looked at Mr. Chi who was sitting, and turned to raise an eyebrow at his brother.
"You can't escape being terrible, Lord Guo." She lowered her voice to the lowest level and chuckled, "Didn't I tell you right?"
Shen Haolin didn't answer her, but reached out and patted her arm, indicating that she should continue to watch.
"You..." Chi Rui looked at a few people, "Aren't you surprised?"
"There's nothing surprising." Bai Meng also remembered the discussion in Xuanyuan Courtyard the night before. He looked sideways at the two people sitting behind him, then turned around and sighed softly, "Just based on Mrs. Teng, even if she has the full support of the Tantai family behind her, she may not be able to plan such a big situation. Mrs. Teng's background and experience are not enough to support her ability to do such a big thing. Do you think I am right, eldest son?"
"You...already know?"
Chi Rui's expression was a little sad. He never expected that the big killer weapon in his hand was of no use and could not be used as an exchange condition. This completely disrupted his original arrangement and he had no idea what to say.
"So, eldest son, don't think about useless things. If you can't provide us with some information, then don't waste our time. Just say whatever we ask, okay?"
Song Qiyun pinched his fingers and made a rattling sound, with a slightly threatening look in his eyes.
"...Okay." Mr. Chi leaned back unconsciously and nodded slightly towards Song Qiyun, "My lord, please tell me, it's the same sentence. The common people must tell everything they know and say everything."
"Remember what you said yourself." Song Qiyun smiled slightly, "Tell me about the grudge between Mr. Chi Ge and Mrs. Chi."
"Grudges?" Chi Rui was stunned when he heard Song Qiyun's words, and shook his head gently towards the other party, "Your Majesty, don't take the rumors outside seriously. Although father and mother are not very loving, they are as close as guests. There is no such thing as resentment."
"Really?" Song Qiyun raised an eyebrow, "Why did your third brother... I mean Mrs. Chi's biological one, die in the wild?"
"That child has nothing to do with our family..." Chi Rui paused for a moment, "No, to be precise, it is indeed related to my mother, but it is not my mother's child, nor is it an illegitimate child as reported outside. He raised his head and looked at everyone, and sighed softly, "It is indeed quite embarrassing to say this. This is my grandmother's child, and it can be regarded as my uncle. It's just that the biological father is unknown."
