"That's right. Otherwise, if I fall into the water, Madam Gu will have to jump into the water and save me herself."
Xia Zhiliao had no choice but to protect his son. These people were really going too far.
Madam Gu's face looked very ugly, and Xia Zhiliao could tell from her eyes that she hated herself.
Never mind her, I don’t even like her.
She continued her story, "Otherwise, Madam Gu would be watching someone die without helping!"
"How can this be justified?" Madam Gu frowned. "I will go to the Emperor to seek justice later."
"Okay, go ahead. Does the old lady feel sorry for this young lady?"
"Of course, she's my granddaughter."
Xia Zhiliao snorted coldly, "Maybe not."
"you……"
"Since she is your granddaughter, Miss Gu has been out of the water for a while. I also saw you, Madam Gu, go and ask if she is feeling well, where she is feeling uncomfortable, and if she is scared."
Wen Heng had never felt much family love, but he knew that Xia Zhiliao was right.
Xia Zhiliao raised an eyebrow, "I'm actually very curious, is this how much you love her?"
"County Lady, be careful with your words."
Xia Zhiliao curled the corners of his lips, "Children speak without restraint. I am still young. Whether what I said is right or wrong, you old man must not take it to heart. Alas, children always talk nonsense. What's more, I came from the countryside and don't know much about rules and regulations."
Wen Heng was amused by her rogue look. Not everyone has to follow those crappy rules. This is how you should deal with unreasonable people.
"Do you still want to tell the Emperor?"
Xia Zhiliao, the lovely boy, said something that was so infuriating that it was impossible to pay for his life, "If you don't want to go, then we'll leave."
She patted her chest, a look of fear on her face. "It was so scary. I was playing there peacefully, but how could I fall into the lake? No wonder Qin Xin refused to bring me here to play. If I fell into the water, my grandmother would definitely be very sad."
The little girl seemed to be talking nonsense, but every word she said touched the heart.
Firstly, her maid wouldn't let her get into danger, and secondly, if anything happened to her, her elders would be worried.
She told both the master and servants of the Gu family to go in.
The old lady's face turned pale, and more people came. Although they were not as fond of making a fuss as the common people, it was inevitable that everyone had doubts in their hearts.
Madam Gu didn't expect that she would be speechless by a little girl. She scolded the servants coldly and carried her granddaughter who fell into the water back.
Xia Zhiliao didn't realize that she was holding Wen Heng's hand when she left in a proud and heroic manner.
[Fortunately, I am a little girl, so none of that bullshit about men and women not being able to touch each other can be blamed on me.]
Wen Heng frowned slightly, but he was not unhappy and his brows soon relaxed.
The little girl knows everything, but she's still acting dumb here.
[Strange, I clearly saw Wen Heng saving people, why didn't he save them now? ]
Wen Heng heard that she was still struggling with this question, so he explained, "I just saw the girl's maid push her."
Xia Zhiliao's eyes widened, and so did Xia Jiang, "Really?"
"Of course."
Wen Heng didn't know what was going on at first. He only knew what the little girl was talking about. So when he saw two girls by the water, he paid attention to them.
Although he didn't stare at the person directly, he paid more attention and happened to see that scene from his angle.
He was definitely not mistaken.
So, he felt that things would not be that simple.
You can't say that he is cold-hearted. It's just that he can't be kind when he is being schemed against by others.
"That old lady seems familiar?" Xia Zhiliao said again.
He was afraid that Wen Heng didn't know who was the target of the incident.
However, how could Wen Heng not know?
"She is Wen Huai's grandmother." Wen Heng said in a deep voice.
Without the little girl leading him on, he said it himself, "This matter may be related to Wen Huai."
Xia Zhiliao knew it, but he still felt bad.
"That Miss Gu's life is also her life!"
Wen Heng was silent for a while, then said, "In the face of power, sacrificing the lives of one or two women is nothing."
Although I know the cruelty of the struggle for power, it still makes me feel uncomfortable when I hear it with my own ears and see it with my own eyes.
"Do you think so too?" Xia Zhiliao asked.
Because she remembered that Wen Heng also set a trap for Wen Huai, the beauty trap.
She was a very special girl who was saved by Wen Heng and loved him but never said it out loud.
Because the plot has collapsed, Xia Zhiliao doesn't know whether the girl is still there, or whether she has come to Wen Heng's side and is being cultivated secretly.
Wen Heng glanced at Zhiliao and said, "I don't have such a family. I'm talking about the Gu family, or even many families, including the royal family. Those princesses who married into other countries may seem glamorous, but they may not have an easy life in a foreign country."
Xia Zhiliao nodded, "They always say girls are useless. When something goes wrong, they say girls are the root of trouble. When trouble comes, women have to take the brunt of it. Sigh..."
Wen Heng touched her head and said, "How old are you? You are so bitter and resentful. Don't worry, these have nothing to do with you."
Wen Heng took a deep breath and said seriously: "You just need to grow up well."
Xia Zhiliao frowned, but she still wanted to know, "Would you use girls to deal with others?"
Wen Heng frowned slightly, "Why do you ask?"
[I don’t want that girl named Jingyan to die. She is quite pitiful.]
Wen Heng frowned. She actually knew Han Jingyan.
He had only known this person for a short time, but the little girl actually knew about it.
But come to think of it, it's not surprising.
Doesn't she know enough?
"I'll introduce someone to you when we get back to Beijing."
"Who is it?" Xia Zhiliao asked curiously, "Is he a powerful person?"
Wen Heng curled his lips and said, "You'll know when you get back."
It seems that plans have changed.
She didn't want anything to happen to Han Jingyan, so she decided to change the plan.
Even if he had to take a detour, he didn't want to make the little girl sad.
Xia Zhiliao continued to ask for a long time, but Wen Heng refused to say anything. She was already extremely curious. Who could it be?
It was not known whether the Gu family felt guilty or because no one was dead, so they did not report the matter to the emperor.
But Xia Zhi refused to do it.
There is no reason not to fight back when being bullied like this.
If she doesn't fight back, others will treat her as a sick cat and anyone can bully her.
If the Gu family doesn't say anything, then she will say it.
While the emperor is still treating her well, she doesn't care whether she takes advantage of him or not. Sometimes, being spoiled and making a mistake is a way to save one's life.
"Your Majesty, the county lady said she made some delicious food for you."
Emperor Shunde was still very diligent. Even here, he still looked at the memorials sent in every day. He raised his eyebrows and showed a happy expression, "Why don't you bring them in?"
