After Chen Lianhe left the room, Xun Nian Nian no longer felt sleepy. She tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep, so she went to find Dong Xing.

Dong Xing was already half asleep. She was pulled out of bed by Xun Niannian, still a little dazed.

"Miss, why are you waking me up so late? Is there something wrong?"

Dong Xing rubbed her eyes and muttered.

Xun Nian Nian: "Nothing, I just want to talk to you about life."

Dong Xing: “…”

Why didn't he stay up late at night to talk to her about life? Dong Xing stopped rubbing her eyes and woke up.

Dong Xing always felt that something was wrong with her young lady since she hit the pillar. At this moment, this feeling was even stronger.

Could it be that her young lady's head really had some problem?

Xun Niannian noticed Dong Xing's suspicious look, raised her hand and tapped her head lightly. What is this girl thinking about!

Xun Niannian sat cross-legged on Dong Xing's couch and looked up at the moon outside the window. "Dong Xing, what kind of person do you think Chen Lianhe is?"

Dong Xing was no longer sleepy at this moment. It turned out that the young lady couldn't sleep late at night because she was thinking about the prince!

Dong Xing tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "Before I followed you to the palace, I felt that the prince was a very good person. He was upright and honest. During his years as the governor of the three divisions, he arrested many corrupt officials. He was also very gentle and kind. He did a lot for the people and often gave porridge to those who were homeless and had no food to eat. He was also very handsome... In short, I felt that he was a very perfect person."

Xun Nian Nian: That was the "personality" he deliberately created for himself in order to gain the emperor's trust and to conceal his own ambitions.

Is there any "perfect" person in this world?

The more "perfect" a person looks, the more problems he or she has!

"What about now? What is the view now?"

Dong Xing had a sad face and said angrily, "Now, I feel that he is a very cold-hearted and heartless person. He is just like you said, a two-faced person!"

Xun Niannian pursed her lips and changed the subject: "So what do you think of Xun Shang...what kind of person is my father?"

When Dong Xing heard Xun Niannian mention the Xun family, she became even more sad. She was a servant of the Xun family. She was born and raised in the Xun family and had deep feelings for the people in the Xun family.

Because of the incident at Xun Mansion, Dong Xing was sad and anxious every day.

She bit her lip.

"The master is an honest and upright official who is dedicated to serving the people. Miss, why do you think the master did such a foolish thing this time?"

"We don't lack money in our house. All the businesses run by our eldest son are booming. We have never lacked money in our house."

"The master never coveted other people's things before. He and his wife would drive away those who came to give gifts. The master has been diligent and conscientious during his years as the Minister of Works. He never took more than his monthly salary, and even often used the mansion's money to subsidize some projects that were short of money. His wife often complained about this to the master."

"Miss, why do you think the master would embezzle the funds for repairing the Lingjun River this time..."

Having said this, Dong Xing suddenly hugged Xun Niannian's hand and started crying.

In the past few days, for fear of making the young lady sad, Dong Xing has been suppressing the sadness in her heart and dared not cry in front of her.

Because she was afraid that if she cried, the young lady would be even more sad and upset.

But tonight, she couldn't help it.

Xun Niannian touched Dong Xing's head and said, "Don't cry, this matter may not be that simple. Maybe Dad didn't embezzle at all!"

Dong Xing raised her head suddenly, "Miss, what did you say? The master didn't embezzle? Was he wronged?"

Xun Niannian did not answer but asked, "Then do you believe that he really embezzled money?"

Dong Xing shook her head.

But he looked hesitant again.

The master was the Minister of Works. After the funds for repairing the Lingjun River were transferred from the Ministry of Revenue, the master personally checked the accounts. It is said that when the funds reached the hands of lower-level officials, they were less than half!

The silver was lost by the master, and he couldn't provide evidence to prove where the missing river repair money went...

Dong Xing originally didn't believe that the river repair money was embezzled by their master, but the people from the Dali Temple and the Supervisory Office found that there was a large amount of money in a villa newly built in the suburbs of Beijing half a year ago that could not be found in the account and the source was unknown...

"Miss, do you know something?"

Dong Xing is a loyal, outspoken and smart girl. She vaguely felt from Xun Niannian's words that her young lady might know something.

Xun Niannian propped her chin up with her hand and said, "I don't know how to tell you. Anyway, this matter is definitely not that simple. Dad is most likely being wronged."

"Then Miss, should we ask the prince again? He is the governor of the three divisions, and the emperor trusts him. If he asks the emperor for an order to re-investigate, the emperor will definitely agree."

Xun Niannian turned her gaze to Dong Xing.

Girl, you are really stupid.

If asking Chen Lianhe for help would be useful, why would we have to wait until now?

"I've been hit like this, but he's still indifferent. Do you think you can persuade him to do something?" Xun Niannian pointed to her forehead.

"What can we do? We can only watch as Master and the others are... Woohoo, Master and the others must be wronged..."

Dong Xing, the little crybaby, started crying again.

After crying for a while, she suddenly stopped crying.

As if he had thought of a good idea, he suddenly raised his hand, grabbed Xun Niannian's arm and shook it.

"Miss, why don't we go ask the Fourth Prince for help!"

Xun Niannian: "Who are you talking about? Who are you looking for?"
