"Ajian, is this Lord Shi really a man of high moral character and selfless dedication to public service?" Shen Heng asked curiously.
"That's what he thinks," Xie Jian said calmly. "I'm just saying it for him. Look how happy he is."
Chen Heng: "..." She asked, expressing her doubts: "Then why did you help him take the position of Minister?"
"He's more suitable. Whether he can sit still depends on his mood. He might not be able to sit for long."
Suitable? Shen Heng didn't see that this Lord Shi was just an ordinary person. He didn't have the firm eyes of Lord Lu, and even his official authority seemed a bit perfunctory. Maybe he really couldn't sit for too long.
Shen Heng paused in her steps, and a sentence suddenly flashed through her mind: "Maybe she won't come."
This was what Xie Jian said to his sister-in-law in the house when she came to Dacong four years ago. It was said that he was plotting against the original owner. This imprint was extremely deep.
"What's wrong?" Xie Jian saw Ah Heng looking at him strangely.
"Nothing." I need to sort out my thoughts. Why did I suddenly think about what happened back then?
Just as the two entered the house, a carriage stopped in front of the official residence and the servant jumped out of the carriage: "Thank you, sir."
The two turned around and saw that they were servants of the Wu family.
"Thank you, sir. Young Master Wu has brewed a kind of snow wine and asked me to invite you and Young Master Meng to taste it together."
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, isn't Wu Jin going to visit relatives? Xie Jian said to Chen Heng, "If I don't go, he'll have to come and drag me away. I'll be here soon."
Chen Heng nodded: "If it tastes good, bring me some to try."
"good."
Watching the carriage disappear around the corner, Shen Heng thought about what Madam Shi had just said, and Xie Jian's words, "Maybe you can't sit for too long." He had also said this the night Madam Shi delivered the note.
"Impossible. Am I overthinking it?" Chen Heng felt that Xie Jian would not be so calculating. Besides, he had only been in the officialdom for a short time, so the position of Minister would not be his.
But there is the relationship with Eunuch Wang, who is now a favorite of the Emperor.
Chen Heng had been thinking about this matter the entire afternoon and wanted to ask directly, but then she changed her mind and thought, even if it was Xie Jian who did it, so what?
He was determined to redress his father's innocence and find out who was behind the scenes. If he had the chance to get promoted, he would naturally do his best. What's wrong with that?
Now he is just a small sixth-rank official. If he did not have the support of Wang Nei Shi, a family like the Duke of Yu could easily crush him to death.
Furthermore, the political arena is full of twists and turns, and one needs to be cautious in every step to gain a firm foothold. It is inappropriate for her to point fingers without knowing anything and yet she is not worried about it.
But if you calculate too much, won’t you offend people everywhere?
"Since I've decided to spend my whole life with him, our lives must get better and better. I absolutely cannot let him make enemies everywhere." Chen Heng murmured, but how could she persuade him to listen?
She is his wife. How do wives usually persuade their husbands?
