Chapter 186 What does it mean if there is a deep bond between a man and a woman?
"Let's bandage it first." Shen Heng saw that the blood was dripping from the fingertips, and it was obvious that the wound was very serious: "Sir, when were you injured?"
There was no fighting along the way.
"It was an injury I got two days ago. I just touched the wound. It's nothing serious." Lu Ji'an only then noticed the bloodstain on Shen Heng's neck. Looking at the woman's undisguised concern, he thought of the look she gave him when she played the flute last time. He said coldly, "Ajian should be here soon."
Seeing that Lu Ji'an's face was visibly pale, Chen Heng said, "You will die if you keep going like this. The assassins are all dead. Even if you want to make a plan, wait until A Jian comes. You should rest for a while." Without saying anything, she pulled him to sit next to the tree.
"Chen Heng, I'm fine."
Chen Heng ignored him and tore off her sleeve to bandage his wound to stop the bleeding. She said unhappily, "I know he won't die, but let's stop the bleeding first. I also know that adults want to avoid suspicion, but in a place like this, who are you avoiding suspicion for? Just tie him up outside, it's a bit unsightly."
Lu Ji'an looked at her angry face and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Chen Heng thought about it and knew why Lu Ji'an was so cold towards her. Wasn't it because she hadn't avoided suspicion when she took care of him last time? But she was called to take care of him, just like the current situation, there was no one else. If she left, what would happen if Lu Ji'an had a fever again? This would have been fatal in ancient times.
In special circumstances, do we have to avoid suspicion and make excuses?
However, Chen Heng also respected Lu Ji'an's thoughts. Many gentlemen in ancient times were cautious and self-disciplined. "I heard what the assassin said. I won't tell anyone."
Lu Ji'an looked at her gently: "Did Ajian tell you about me?" She didn't seem curious, but rather seemed a little touched.
"It's not Ah Jian." So Xie Jian knew about it too? He didn't even bother to tell her. Shen Heng told her what she had heard in Yuezhou, as well as her suspicions from the last time she and Nanny Feng went to the mountains to consult Feng Shui. "I guessed it myself."
"If you were a man, you would definitely achieve something."
"If the imperial court allowed women to take the imperial examinations, there would be many who could achieve great things."
Lu Ji'an smiled and said, "That's right."
"Does your Excellency think so?"
Looking into Chen Heng's bright eyes, Lu Ji'an felt as if he understood what she was thinking. "History has shown many women who, despite being in high positions, married into the enemy camp for the sake of their country and their people. There were also women who, during times of war, persuaded their husbands and sons to go to the battlefield to defend their country. Although more women took care of household chores and raised their husbands and children, they were equally tenacious, patient, and wise."
Chen Heng was deeply moved. In modern times, few men would think this way.
Lu Ji'an felt a little uncomfortable being looked at.
Chen Heng also realized that her happiness was too outward. Ancient people liked to be restrained. Yes, they must be restrained. Restraint means that the inner activities revealed on the face are retracted inward. She asked the doubts in her heart again: "So, are you going to seek justice for my family?"
Same as Xie Jian?
Seeing Chen Heng's serious expression, Lu Ji'an took a small step back and smiled. "My family members died because of the dispute over the crown prince when the current emperor was still a prince. No one would care about the life of a small official. Even if I could redress the injustice, what I get is not what I want."
More than ten years have passed and he has let it go.
Chen Heng could imagine that kind of scene. Yes, if it was related to the royal family, unless it was a major event, no one would do anything for these dead minor officials. Even if justice was sought, the royal family would at most admit that they were wrong.
What else can I do?
"Don't you hate me, sir?"
