Looking at the person whose nose was red from crying, Xie Jian took a deep breath. He could still say that he was crying during the snowstorm, but now he was already a relative: "Meng Xuanlang, you are the one who wants to cut off ties with me."
"But I'm not wrong."
After hearing the general idea, Chen Heng finally understood what was going on. If the issue was simply a matter of right and wrong, it would be simple. If they continued like this, it would only go on and on. She stepped forward and said, "How about I cut ties?"
Everyone's eyes were on her.
Meng Xuanlang glared fiercely at the servant who was about to hand the dagger to Chen Heng. The servant suddenly felt that it was not right to give it to her, nor was it right to refuse.
Chen Heng saw it and said softly, "But before we part ways, I want to say something." There were no outsiders here.
"You say." Meng Xuanlang said.
Xie Jian glanced at Chen Heng doubtfully.
"Meng Xizi also knew what happened to Min'er. But he didn't know that before that big incident, Min'er was pushed into a pond and almost drowned." Chen Heng talked about the incident of little Min'er being pushed into the pond by a child in the alley, and also talked about Xie Jian's attitude in handling the matter.
Thinking of that incident, Xie Jian understood what Aheng was going to say.
"There's such a thing?" Meng Xuanlang was extremely shocked. "How could such a young child be so abominable? Xie Jian, Min'er almost drowned, why are you and your sister-in-law saying it was his fault?"
"Yes. Min'er just wanted to play with the other kids, so he followed them. Later, he was pushed into the pond and hurt. In terms of right and wrong, he was not wrong; he was innocent. The ones who pushed him were wrong." Chen Heng said softly, "I thought the same thing as you at the time. Ah Jian's words brought me to my senses. He said the ones who pushed Min'er were wrong, but such questioning is meaningless. The damage had already been done. If the person who pushed Min'er had any morals or conscience, would they still push him?"
Meng Xuanlang was stunned.
"Those who shirk responsibility and exaggerate their achievements, if they could uphold the original aspirations of a true man and worry about the country and the people, they wouldn't do such things. Meng Xizi is upright and tenacious, dares to speak his mind, and is not afraid of evildoers. His confidence comes from the Meng family. Even if he is arrested by the Dali Temple, he will be released soon. Min'er, on the other hand, lacks such confidence and can only be cautious. The fault lies with him. We can only blame him for not knowing how to protect himself."
Children who grow up in pampering are always fearless.
Meng Xuanlang was stunned. He had not thought about it so deeply.
Xie Jian said calmly, "But one day you will have to leave the protection of your family. Do you have to kowtow and bleed before you can grow up?"
Meng Xuanlang snorted.
Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Chen Heng realized that it was actually a simple matter. Meng Xuanlang was aggrieved because he had done nothing wrong, yet everyone told him that he was wrong. She first affirmed him to calm him down and then explained the situation clearly. She turned to Peng and said, "Let's go."
Seeing this, Meng's parents, who were not far away, also breathed a sigh of relief and went about their own business.
After arriving at the pavilion in the garden to rest, Mrs. Peng asked, "Aheng, is what you just said true? Was Min'er really pushed into the pond?" Min'er was friends with her nephew Meng Zhao and often came to play at Meng's house. She liked this child very much.
"Yes. Meng Yuzi should have told you about my family's affairs."
Mrs. Peng nodded and gently stroked her belly. Now that she was about to become a mother, she hated to hear such things. "Xuan Lang said that Uncle Ji An has been investigating your case. Are there any new clues now?"
Chen Heng shook her head: "Not yet." If this matter involved the royal family, who knows what kind of overwhelming secret it might be.
After thinking about it, the royal family is nothing more than a real or fake prince, whose secret was discovered and killed to silence him, or he has evidence against them. What else could it be?
At this time, a maid came to report: "Madam Peng, Madam Shen, Master Xie asked the servants to collect the mat and dagger, return the food, and reconcile with Prime Minister Xie."
Both Shen Heng and Mrs. Peng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Aheng, I'm deeply moved by what you just said. Now that I think about it, Xuanlang was just too serious. But people and things in this world aren't just about right and wrong." Peng seemed to have come to a realization: "With the protection of a family, it's like a fish in water. On the other hand, if you're not careful, you can bring the family into trouble."
