Chapter 506: An Explanation (2)_1
"Infatuated?" Qi Jingrong let out a small laugh. "Then what about my eighth brother?"
Shen Wanyin’s body immediately shook like a sieve.
"Second Master Shen, do you think we’re all fools, or what?" Qi Jingrong’s face darkened.
Shen Wanyin could only kowtow to admit his fault, his forehead bleeding from it.
"Second Master Shen, please stand up..." Qi Jingrong played with the tea cup lid in his hand, his tone indifferent, but his intent was indisputable.
Shen Wanyin hastily ceased his kowtowing, expressed his gratitude, and then stood up with the butler’s support.
"Shouldn’t the Shen Family also give this prince an explanation?" Qi Jingrong’s eyebrows slightly raised, addressing the Shen Family rather than Shen Wanyin.
Actually, he was rather thankful for those two fools. If they hadn’t taken the initiative to drug him, he would have been in a passive position, needing to find a way to have them throw themselves into his arms. However, he really didn’t understand the personality of the two women, so, the chances of success would have been about half. But now... the fate of the Shen Family was firmly in his grasp.
Dosing a prince with drugs could, at the least, result in a loss of honor, and in the most severe cases, could be seen as plotting murder or showing contempt for the Imperial Family, which might warrant the execution of one’s entire extended family.
"Shen Wanyin will follow the prince’s orders," Shen Wanyin said as he hurriedly knelt down again. "Those two wicked daughters are also at the prince’s disposal, their lives and deaths completely at the mercy of His Highness..."
Qi Jingrong lifted his eyes, the corners of his mouth revealing a faint, almost imperceptible smile. "Can Second Master Shen make decisions for the Shen Family? What I want is an explanation from the Shen Family, not from you, Shen Wanyin."
