Chapter 081 I also want to be a brave person
Lu Ji'an nodded, his eyes falling on Shen Heng with a hint of worry.
"Sir, did Ajian do anything wrong?" Shen Heng asked.
"Madam Chen, although you are just a woman, your mind and knowledge are much better than those of ordinary women. Besides, you are a few years older than Ajian, so you should pay more attention to Ajian's affairs." After Lu Ji'an finished speaking, he walked past her and left.
Chen Heng: “…”
What does it have to do with her? Can she stop what Xie Jian wants to do? He really thinks too highly of her.
"So, what exactly happened?" Meng Xuanlang became even more curious.
"Xuan Lang," Lu Luji'an turned around after taking a few steps and looked at him. "The scientific expedition is coming up soon, what are you still doing here?"
"Coming, coming." Meng Xuanlang hurried to follow.
Watching Lu Ji'an's slender figure disappear behind the screen wall, Shen Heng turned around and looked at Xie Jian, and found that he had stood up and was walking towards them.
Their eyes met.
"Why is Lord Lu angry?"
Xie Jian remained silent.
Seeing that he was unwilling to talk, Shen Heng did not want to ask any more. Lu Ji'an should have a very good temper. The things that could make him angry should not be government affairs or studies. Xie Jian could do well in both of these.
The only thing left that could make Lord Lu angry would be his character.
It's hard to say about his character. Forget it, don't think about it anymore. She and Xie Jian will be separated one day, and she has to participate in the family affairs. After all, they live together. There is no need to get involved in the chores, and she doesn't have the ability to do so.
"Go home." Chen Heng smiled faintly and turned to leave the yamen.
Xie Jian walked quietly behind, watching the woman's brisk steps in front of him. She didn't look angry. Sometimes she was particularly concerned about his affairs, and sometimes she didn't care much. No matter what, Ah Heng was the person he would spend his life with. "I originally asked Wang Nei Shi to come to Nanyi to donate grain, because I wanted to build a golden statue for the emperor."
Shen Heng paused and turned to look at him.
"How could Eunuch Wang possibly care about the life and death of an entire clan? The only reason he has is that he gained fame and used the money to build a golden statue for the emperor and gain merit to please him." Xie Jian met Chen Heng's surprised gaze. His ultimate goal was to rise to prominence after entering the officialdom.
Shen Heng was startled and wanted to smooth it out.
Therefore, Xie Jian's strategy was ultimately for his own benefit.
Starting from the first step, have you thought about the last step?
Yes, why should Eunuch Wang be in charge of the life and death of all the people with the surname Qi in this area? What does it have to do with him?
How could a newly recognized grandson possibly get Wang Nei Shi to do something?
Only interests can make such a person come to take action. Chen Heng did not expect Xie Jian's calculations to be so deep. He took advantage of the snow disaster and did not gain anything substantial, but by trying to please Wang Nei Shi, his official career in the future when he went to the imperial capital would definitely be smooth.
Xie Jian continued, "The Master disdained my being in the same boat with Eunuch Wang, and he scolded me. But I was not wrong."
Chen Heng held it in for a long time before finally saying, "Master, you must be worried that people get stained by the company they keep."
"The Master is upright and honest, a blessing to the Qi family. But he couldn't redress my father's injustice, nor could he protect the safety of my eldest sister-in-law and nephew. Eunuch Wang can do that." Xie Jian said calmly, "The Qi family respects officials like the Master, but fears people like Eunuch Wang."
As a young man who had worked in society for several years, Chen Heng understood the meaning of Xie Jian's words: "I only know that an official like Lord Lu will stand up for ordinary people like us. He protects the safety of one person and the safety of the people of the entire county. If one day he is in danger, many people will disregard their own safety to protect him, and I am one of them."
Xie Jian looked at her coldly.
Shen Heng knew what Xie Jian was thinking, but what she said was not chicken soup.
