Chapter 158 You are responsible for yourself
"Right." Chen Heng thought of another person: "Eunuch Wang must have also investigated Ajian's family affairs. Is he on our side?"
"This old cunning fellow." Yu Wei snorted coldly, "He is somewhat sincere towards Xie Min, but as for other people, he won't get involved at all."
It's normal not to get involved in any disputes. Chen Heng said, "Since he really loves Min'er, he won't kick her when she's down. That's enough."
Yu Wei was slightly surprised. Most women wouldn't necessarily think of this. "That's what the adults said."
"Brother Yu Wei, do you know which member of the royal family is targeting Ajian's family?" Chen Heng asked.
"We found out that among the people who came to Nanming County seven days ago, there were four people, one of whom was the Duke of Yu, and the other three have been found. They are either princes or princes. After careful investigation, we found that none of them had any connection with the Xie family." They had no connection, but it forced the Xie family into a desperate situation.
Just as the two were talking, a few light coughs were heard in the room.
"Is your Excellency awake?" Yu Wei stood up.
"I'll serve some porridge to the master." Shen Heng hurriedly took out a rough bowl from the wooden cupboard.
When Lu Ji'an woke up, his fever had subsided. He was struggling to sit up when Yu Wei walked in.
"Sir." Yu Wei hurried forward and helped the master get a mat to lie down halfway. "Don't worry, sir, everything is going according to plan."
Lu Ji'an nodded: "Is everyone okay?"
"It's okay. They are all minor injuries, only the adults are seriously injured." The adults were injured while protecting the people below.
"Where's Gu Feng?"
"Come back, I'll pick him up at the old place later."
Outside, Chen Heng was about to push the door open with her porridge in hand when she heard Lu Ji'an say, "How could you ask Chen Heng to come and take care of me? How can this be so disrespectful?"
"I know my crime, but there is no one else who can serve you, sir." Yu Wei said. Your Excellency has no female relatives around him, and all the work is shared by him and Gu Feng. As long as they go on a mission together, it's fine if your Excellency is not injured. If he is injured, he has no close relatives around him, so how can he feel at ease?
"She can't be implicated. You've followed me for so long, investigating and solving cases with me. You should know how harsh this law is on women. If there's a woman among the accused, they can be charged with a false charge just by a suspicion." Lu Ji'an was still extremely weak, and he felt a little dizzy after saying these words.
Chen Heng was deeply moved. This was the first time in her three years at Dacong that she had heard such words of defense from a man. Lord Lu saw through everything.
Yu Wei said, "I understand."
"Besides, this matter has already been informed to Ah Jian, you should also consider his feelings."
"You are his teacher. Seeing that you are injured and there is no one to take care of you, he will definitely not blame us."
"Not blaming her doesn't mean I won't care. What's more, Chen Heng is a very special person to him."
Shen Heng knocked on the door and then pushed it open and walked in.
"Sir, have some porridge. It's warm and fresh." Shen Heng was about to take the porridge away when Yu Wei took it and handed it to Lu Ji'an.
Lu Ji'an only ate half a bowl. He really didn't have the strength to continue and soon fell into a deep sleep again.
Because Yu Wei still had to support Gu Feng, he stayed for a while and then left.
Chen Heng didn't dare to fall asleep, worried that Lu Ji'an would have a fever again, so she simply picked up the book on the table and started reading. She originally thought it would be boring, but she didn't expect that she could concentrate on reading when she saw the annotations written by this adult.
