Chapter 261 He is finally getting it
Chen Heng recalled what Xie Jian had said that day: "Master Gong still doesn't know how to restrain his wife. He won't be able to stay in this position for long." If the dignified Secretary of the Central Secretariat really did something wrong, it would definitely cause a chain reaction.
Being an official is also risky.
Although it is no longer history, according to real history, the Great Cong Dynasty only existed for more than ten years. Chen Heng still felt uneasy when she thought about it.
Originally, her focus was on Xie Jian, but after meeting some people and paying attention to the court, she realized that there were many people who pushed for the demise of the Great Cong Dynasty.
By November, war and peace talks were still a point of contention, and no decision had been made after so long.
Xie Jian was getting busier and busier, and sometimes the two of them couldn't even say a word to each other.
That day, when Chen Heng was about to get on the carriage, she discovered that the person driving the carriage was not Liu Gang, but a young man of about eighteen or nineteen years old, with slightly dark skin and a canine tooth when he smiled.
"Madam, from the day on, Huya will be your personal servant."
"Your name is Huya?" The name fits the situation quite well.
"Yes." Hu Ya grinned, and the fang sparkled in the sunlight.
The young man was energetic and looked very reliable. Shen Heng didn't ask where Dawei was, and guessed that Xie Jian needed him for something.
"Aheng." Peng Yunzhao's voice suddenly came.
Shen Heng looked over and saw the carriage from Prince Qing's mansion. Soon, Peng Yunzhao and Liu Xinyue got out one after another.
"Miss Xinyue, Yunzhao? Why are you here?" Chen Heng happily came forward to greet them. She had only met Yunzhao three times in the past two months and was quite busy. "Are you here to see me?"
"You can still laugh?" Peng Yunzhao asked worriedly, "Mrs. Gong has been divorced."
Chen Heng was stunned for a moment: "Really?" It's really better not to laugh at something like this, but she didn't know why.
"Aheng, let me ask you, did you accept money from anyone?" Peng asked nervously in a low voice.
Liu Xinyue also looked at Shen Heng with a serious expression. She felt that Madam Shen and Madam Gong were not the same kind of people. However, the ladies who were close to Madam Gong had all accepted bribes. Such ladies made their families live in fear.
"What silver?" Shen Heng took a long time to react: "Are you talking about Madam Gong selling official positions for money?"
"Shhh."
"Don't worry, I didn't participate, and it's even more impossible for me to accept such money." Shen Heng smiled. Usually at banquets with Madam Gong, as long as they talked about these things, she would always find an excuse to leave.
Mrs. Peng breathed a sigh of relief.
"What about Mr. Xie?" Liu Xinyue asked. She believed Madam Shen, but Xie Jian had been an official for several years after all. He had followed Lord Gong before. Who knew if she would accept him privately.
"My husband is not that kind of person." Shen Heng believed Xie Jian and said with a smile, "Anyway, he never told me."
Liu Xinyue was stunned for a moment, then amused. "I hope so. The Secretary of State, Lord Gong, has placed all the blame on Madam Gong, even comparing her to the deceased Madam. He said how the former Madam was a virtuous and understanding mother and husband, while the current Madam Gong was doing all sorts of despicable things without telling him."
Mrs. Peng nodded: "How shameless."
"Among all the men, only your Xuanlang is truly admirable." Liu Xinyue said to Peng Shiyu, "He has been intolerant of even the slightest bit of filth since he was young. Look how much the emperor values him."
