Chapter 489 Tang Wenqian is a wise man
Da Niu frowned. Thinking about it, he realized that he really couldn't leave, but he was also worried about sending the elderly, women, and children to such a far place.
They were worried that something might happen to Ayu on his way to exile, but they actually had reason to be worried themselves.
The group fell silent as they talked. They were all about to leave, but there were still many things to do in Jiangyuan County.
It wasn't just that shop, but also Da Hu, who was studying.
But if they all leave, it's impossible to leave Da Hu alone in the county town. Da Hu may be young, but he's very opinionated and he definitely won't agree.
As the group discussed the matter in greater detail, Xiang Weinan in another room had already finished interrogating Tang Wenqian.
Tang Wenqian was, after all, just a scholar, and his social circle was limited. Being alone in the room with Xiang Weinan for so long put him under tremendous pressure.
He went out the door, bowed to Xiang Weinan, and then turned to greet his parents who were not far away.
Mr. and Mrs. Tang rushed forward. Mrs. Tang's eyes were red and swollen. She wiped her face and hurriedly asked him, "How are you? Are you alright? Sir, what did the sir say?"
Tang's mother was filled with regret. She never expected that her impulsive words would lead to the officials coming to her door.
When Hu Li and his group knocked on their courtyard gate, Tang's mother almost collapsed to the ground.
She was filled with anxiety the whole way, thinking that her son might really have been implicated and died because of her. The provincial examination had just ended, and his future was probably ruined.
Upon meeting Lord Xiang, he first asked them a few questions, even though Tang's mother kept insisting that she was the one who spread the rumor. Later, however, Lord Xiang still called Tang Wenqian into the room for a private conversation.
While waiting for him, Tang's mother had already slapped herself hard several times in remorse.
When Tang Wenqian came out, he naturally saw the handprint on his mother's right cheek. He comforted her and said, "Mother, it's alright. Let's go and buy some ointment at the clinic. Don't hit your face anymore."
"I'm sorry, Wenqian, it's all my fault for dragging you down."
"It's alright, we've already explained it to the adults. However, from now on, we must keep Miss Lu's matter to ourselves and never mention it again."
"Yes, yes, I definitely won't mention it."
The family of three then left the county government office.
Xiang Weinan stood there, watching their departing figures. Hu Li stepped forward and asked, "Sir, what about Scholar Tang..."
"He's a smart man, he'll amount to something in the future." Xiang Weinan admired him quite a bit. Even without his prompting or threats, Tang Wenqian knew what to do.
At his age, he actually went to participate in the provincial examination, and judging from the way he spoke, he was at least 50% or 60% confident.
For a farmer's son with limited resources to achieve such results is truly remarkable.
The Fifth Prince is currently in dire need of capable people, but Meng Yunzheng, despite being a talented individual, dislikes the court and only wants to kill someone and be done with it. He doesn't want to get too involved, so naturally he does less.
If this scholar Tang passes the exam with flying colors and wins his favor, he could potentially serve the Fifth Prince in the future and achieve great things.
Xiang Weinan clicked his tongue and walked back towards the lobby.
Before even stepping inside, seeing the Lu family still kneeling there in unison, Hu Li's expression instantly changed. He took a few steps back and asked, "Have they been kneeling here the whole time? For so long?"
