"I'm fine." Chen Heng recounted what had just happened and asked the questions that filled her mind: "Ajian, why are they targeting me and the Master? Is this a factional dispute?"
If it is a court fight or factional struggle, such vicious methods among officials are unprecedented in history. Scholars all pay attention to propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, and know what to do and what not to do.
Even if there is no offline, the party struggle is not fierce, it has not reached this point yet.
"No." Xie Jian held his wife's hand and walked towards the parking lot. His face was gloomy and his eyes were sharp, not hiding anything in the dark night. "That man wanted to drive away everyone who helped me. Do you remember Xie Changgen?"
Shen Heng nodded.
"He once threatened every member of the clan not to lend a helping hand to my family." As a result, the Xie family was deserted by everyone almost overnight and lasted for six years.
"You mean, all of this was orchestrated by the person behind the scenes?" Chen Heng suddenly understood. In other words, someone wanted to isolate the Xie family.
At that time, she thought that all the members of the Xie family were bad-hearted and there was not even a single good person.
But she and her sister-in-law are also very good to Ajian.
Why did the genius attack her? No, no, it looked like he was just attacking her in passing, with the intention of severely injuring the master.
I remember hearing him say something when we were at the rockery. One of his words was, "We can't keep this person. We didn't expect his influence to be so profound."
At this time, a palace maid walked by and the two of them stopped talking.
After getting on the carriage, the coachman drove out of the palace.
Shen Heng then asked the question that puzzled her: "Why did that person target the Xie family like this?" This was not the first time she had asked this question.
"I can't find out for now." Xie Jian clenched his fists with his hands on his knees. His father was just an ordinary man with the surname Qi, who could not read or write. He worked in the fields all his life and had never even left the Southern Ming Dynasty.
"Ajian, could it be related to the royal family's secrets, but our identities are not yet involved, so we can't find out?" Chen Heng thought about it and this was the only possibility left.
Xie Jian nodded: "The Master also said so."
Therefore, he started to investigate all the secrets of the royal family. At most, he found out about the calculations among the concubines, being framed, and who to frame. The emperor had four princes and two dukes, and that was how they were killed.
But it has nothing to do with his family.
At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"Sir, it's ready." said the driver.
So fast? Shen Heng opened the curtain and found that the carriage had arrived in front of an unfamiliar house.
"The Master is here, Ah Heng, you go back first. I'll go see the Master."
Shen Heng nodded and saw the door open. The person who opened the door was Brother Gu Feng. She watched Xie Jian enter the room before lowering the curtain.
Thinking about the conspiracy against him and Lu Ji'an, he gritted his teeth. It was so vicious.
Soon, Shen Heng's thoughts turned to the royal secrets. The identity of Xie's father or Xie Li must be extraordinary, or the identity of Xie's eldest brother?
But it doesn’t make sense that Ajian can’t find out now.
When she arrived at her home, Xia and Feng were waiting for her to talk about the flower viewing party.
Chen Heng didn't want to make them worry, so she just told them some exciting stories. When she finished, she asked, "Mammy, is there any secret in the palace that no one else knows? Please tell me in secret."
Nanny Feng was amused. "Of course I do. Who can survive in the palace without secrets?"
"Then tell me how many."
Seeing the two ladies listening intently, Nanny Feng smiled and said, "I've been away for so long I've forgotten everything. I was hoping you'd have something interesting to tell me when you come back."
