And being conferred the title of County Princess? Chen Heng knew that among the many people, only the daughter of a prince could be conferred the title of County Princess. However, this title was not as easy as the later said. One must have outstanding achievements, such as being a role model for women. Of course, there were also lucky ones who were given the title because of the emperor's favor.
Liu Zhiyue has to play this card well.
Nanny Feng added, "I hope the young lady can return to her former gentle and virtuous self. This will be the end of our relationship as master and servant."
"It is a blessing for the young lady to have a nanny like Feng Ma to raise her." Chen Heng said sincerely.
That night, it was already late when Xie Jian returned.
Shen Heng vaguely realized that he had laid down, and subconsciously moved her body inwards to avoid taking up too much space. Just as she was about to fall asleep, a cool breeze blew in from the side, and then a slightly cool body lay in.
When she opened her eyes in fright, her whole body was embraced by Xie Jian.
Now Shen Heng was completely awake. After the shock, she didn't have any other thoughts. This guy was not a reckless person. Although he was only ten years old, he was always well-behaved and serious. Especially this time, she even doubted whether it was too much for him to eat a few bites of a bowl of rice.
Sure enough, Xie Jian just held her like this.
"Ajian, what's wrong with you?" Shen Heng didn't dare to move. Fortunately, her back was facing away, otherwise it would still be a bit embarrassing.
In the darkness, Xie Jian's eyes were sharp, gleaming with coldness. However, when he spoke to the person beside him, his voice was gentle: "It's a bit cold."
Chen Heng covered her shoulders with the quilt again. He couldn't reach over there, so she said, "You cover yourself too."
"Hold her for a while and she'll be warm." Xie Jian closed his eyes and buried his face deep in Ah Heng's black hair. This made him feel at ease. "Xie Changgen's two sons confessed in prison. A few days ago, Xie Changgen suddenly came back with a thousand taels of silver. After that, they bought a restaurant in the imperial capital and opened Guangjulou."
One thousand taels? This was an exorbitant price for ordinary people. Even at the Meng family shop where she worked, they only earned two thousand taels a day. Shen Heng said, "I saw it this morning."
"They died suddenly, right in front of my eyes, suddenly."
"How could he die suddenly?" Shen Heng was shocked.
"Poisoned."
Feeling the arms around her tightening a little, Chen Heng thought Xie Jian must be extremely angry at this moment and didn't know how to comfort him for a moment.
However, he didn't know that there was no anger in Xie Jian's eyes, but it became more and more fierce. Guangju Tower was just a chess piece he threw out. He had always believed that his father's injustice and his brother's disappearance were related to Xie Changgen's family, so he had people keep an eye on Guangju Tower.
The more I investigate, the more confusing it becomes.
All his actions were as if he was being seen.
After several guesses in his mind, he took this step, and the result confirmed that someone had indeed been watching his every move, otherwise the twins of the Xie family would not have been poisoned to death so timely as soon as they entered prison.
What was hidden behind his father's death that caused the people behind it to go to such great lengths?
But if he is hiding a secret, wouldn't it be better to just kill him given his current situation?
Chen Heng thought Xie Jian probably wanted some comfort, so she let him hold her for a while. However, after a while, she felt sleepy and fell asleep in a daze.
When he woke up again, it was bright outside. Xie Jian's quilt was neatly folded and placed behind him, and his quilt was also covered tightly.
For a moment, I couldn't remember what happened last night, I just felt that I had a very warm sleep.
