Chapter 043 Isn’t this obvious?
"Sister-in-law?" Chen Heng looked at Xia Shi who suddenly appeared in surprise, and then saw Wang Nei Shi and several of his servants also coming out from the same place.
"Sister-in-law, why are you here?" Xie Jian didn't expect that his sister-in-law would come here.
"The imperial examination will be held in the spring, why can't you be patient?" Seeing Xie Jian become like this, Xia was heartbroken.
That being said, Chen Heng also felt that this kind of thing was difficult to endure. To be able to endure it, one must have great mental strength and inner strength.
"Why is Eunuch Wang here?" Lu Ji'an bowed to Eunuch Wang.
"As the Xie family's guarantor, I naturally came to see you." Eunuch Wang always wore a smile on his face, with a gentle and amiable demeanor. "It seems the situation isn't as bad as it could be."
The word "guarantor" made everyone present look at him.
Xia wiped away her tears and said happily, "I was worried when I saw you hadn't come for a long time. I just ran into the eunuch who came to see Min'er and learned that you were here. I begged the eunuch to bring me here. On the way, the eunuch said that he was willing to be your guarantor."
Wang Nei Shi wanted to guarantee Xie Jian? Shen Heng's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Min Er, he...
Xie Jian's heart sank. He was about to ask Min'er when he heard Lu Ji'an say, "Eunuch Wang wants to be Xie Jian's guarantor? What's the reason?"
"I have told this woman that if the boy is really injured, I will adopt him as my son, bring him back to the palace to teach him, and make sure he becomes a talent. But no matter whether the boy has a penis or not, I will act as the young man's guarantor. After all, if I hadn't come, the boy wouldn't have suffered this disaster." He came this time to ask the principal of the academy to appraise a newly acquired calligraphy and a landscape painting.
I didn't expect to meet such an interesting young man like Xie Jian. A young man with this kind of personality is the most exploitative and the most concerned about his relatives. At the same time, he can do anything to get what he wants. He is a good candidate for being an official. If I present him to that adult, he will definitely like my personality, which will be a great achievement.
"Min'er doesn't want to be anyone's adopted son, and I don't need you to be my guarantor." Since he made up his mind to come to Baliting, Xie Jian no longer planned to take the imperial examination. After he killed those evil people, he would let his sister-in-law take Min'er to live in a place where no one knew them. As long as they lived in peace for the rest of their lives, that would be enough.
"Xie Jian, don't talk nonsense. I have already promised the eunuch." Xia said anxiously, "You must take the imperial examination."
"Sister-in-law."
"Ajian, Min'er is already like this," thinking of her son, Xia Shi was heartbroken. "If his health is really damaged, he will only grow up with the contempt of others, the cold eyes and contempt of others. Haven't we suffered enough? The only way out is to follow the eunuch. If his health fails, he doesn't have to go to the palace. The eunuch will even be your guarantor."
Seeing Xie Jian clenching his fists and trying hard to suppress his reluctance, Chen Heng knew that he had no choice. What Xia said was the most beneficial and easiest option for the Xie family and Xie Jian.
If he accepts, his future destiny can be changed. Xie Jian carries too much hatred on his shoulders. With such an opportunity, he has to seize it, even if it means exchanging his nephew's life for his own.
Wang, the eunuch, pursed his lips and smiled faintly as he watched the scene. The young man was quite sensible and looked at Lu Ji'an with a straight face. "Master Lu, Xie Jian didn't do anything today. I hope Master Lu will give me this little face."
"Eunuch Wang, just now, the official who had been watching him the entire time saw that his actions were excusable, so he let it go. However, he is a student of Nanming College, and committing such a mistake is against the college's rules. He will receive the next punishment. I hope he will remember the pain of today and correct his mistakes."
A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in Wang Nei Shi's eyes, but he hid it very well, and his face remained kind and gentle: "Lord Lu, as a father and a minister, has to worry about the academy's management. It's really hard work."
Lu Ji'an smiled faintly: "Since I am the magistrate of Nanming County, and also the teacher of Xie Jian's group of students, it is natural for me to discipline them."
