Chapter 294 He Really Cursed
However, there was one thing that made Shen Heng feel relieved. Liu Yu had never looked at her straight in the eye since he came.
After dinner, when Chen Heng took the maid to the main hall to serve tea, Xie Jian and the other two seemed to have talked about something and were silent.
Because of Lu Ji'an, she didn't dare stay and listen like she did when Meng Xuanlang and the others were chatting. Master Lu really could only watch from afar, otherwise he would be asked to restrain himself and return to propriety, which would be too much for her.
It was already late at night when Liu Yu and Lu Ji'an left.
When Xie Jian returned to the main courtyard, he saw his wife sitting in bed waiting for him. He knew that she was very curious about why he had invited Liu Yu.
"I want to tell him that our family has let go of the hatred and just wants to work hard to live a good life in the present." These days, he has been struggling between letting go and seeking revenge. Xie Jian said calmly: "Only by living a good present can we let go of the past."
Yes, only by living a good present can we let go of the past. Chen Heng looked at him with heartache.
"Liu Yu asked me, how can I willingly let go of my vengeance for my father and brother? Of course I'm not willing to do that, but the safety of the people is more important." Xie Jianyu: "So, I hope he will be a good emperor and ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment."
"What did the Emperor say?"
"Nothing. If he wants to be a good emperor, the first person he should kill is Minister Qin. When the emperor was the crown prince, they were loyal to each other. In order to protect the crown prince, Minister Qin did everything with great care. Now he has become another Lord Gong."
The monarch and his subjects were of one mind? These four words should be a compliment, but for Liu Yan, they were a kind of bondage. Chen Heng said, "Minister Qin is perhaps the most loyal person to him besides the Sixth Princess."
"So what? As a Shangshu, from the beginning to the end, I only protect those who can benefit him." This is also the current situation in the court. Officials protect each other, and those they protect are all beneficial.
Shen Heng leaned her head on Xie Jian's shoulder. The man beside her was willing to put aside hatred for the sake of justice, but he met such a king: "A Jian."
"Um?"
Chen Heng wanted to tell him that if he was tired, he shouldn't insist on continuing. There was no need to persist in a dynasty like this, but she couldn't bring herself to say it: "Rest early."
In the days after the Lantern Festival, the Xie family lived a pretty comfortable life.
Although the three counties of Changzhou were captured, the rear was still defended, and the people were relieved.
When Chen Heng came out of her room, she happened to hear Ah Chan say, "Madam, these cakes you made are really beautiful. No wonder Madam Min likes them so much."
"Mrs. Min really doesn't look like a girl from an ordinary family." Nanny Feng sighed.
Ah Chan nodded: "I think so too. She was so powerful when she taught the cousin of the Wu family a lesson in Fengguo Temple last time."
"The cousin of the Wu family? But the cousin named Chu Yuke?"
“It seems so.”
Nanny Feng shook her head. "This girl is so ignorant that she didn't even know how high the heavens were. She was so rude when she spoke so rudely about Madam Min's pregnancy. Madam Wu happened to hear it and sent her home. She won't be able to come back for at least the next year or two."
"You deserve it." Ah Chanyu, seeing Chen Heng coming over, quickly stepped forward to support her: "Madam, why didn't you call me maid when you woke up?"
"How is your health today, Madam?" Nanny Feng asked as usual.
"Very well." Shen Heng occasionally had stomach discomfort, but it was almost negligible, unlike Peng and Min who were so upset: "Where's my sister-in-law?"
"There's beef tomorrow. Madam Xia took Zhenzhu to see it. She said she'd never feel at ease without seeing it first." Nanny Feng smiled and said, "I'll make beef dumplings for Madam tonight."
The cattle in Dacong are all recorded in the government register, so it is difficult to eat beef. Chen Heng has been here for six years and has only eaten it once. Because the cow was old, the owner applied to the government to slaughter the cow, and Xie Jian bought it through the back door.
Chen Heng became greedy when she heard it.
