Chapter 74 The World's Number One Embarrassment
Nan Yan hesitated for a moment, then said, "I am weak and lack talent, and I cannot see the future."
Jian Tongguang said, "You are the daughter of the Si family, yet you can still say such things. Even if you can't see the future, you can still understand people, right?"
“…”
Nan Yan thought for a while, and when she looked up again, she saw the Jian brothers and Madam Jiahe looking at her with burning eyes.
It seems that this issue is more important to them than life and death.
She thought for a long time, then said softly, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan—whether he can become a wise and enlightened monarch is hard to say."
“…”
"Maybe, it depends on the people who assist him."
“…”
“If he has wise men around him, he will be a wise ruler.”
“…”
"If there are treacherous ministers around you——"
Even though she knew that King Yan couldn't hear her, Nan Yan didn't dare to continue.
Jian Tongguang's gray eyebrows, which were originally wrinkled, slowly relaxed at this moment, and his bright eyes were lost in thought.
Jian Ruojun took a step forward and whispered, "Father——?"
He raised his hand to stop him from speaking, then raised his head to look at Nan Yan, and said, "You can go back. I need to think about this matter again."
Nan Yan hesitated for a moment, then said, "I hope Master Jian can make a decision as soon as possible. What you care about is not just yourself, nor the people in the mansion. You care about all the scholars in the world. Please take care of yourself."
After saying that, she bowed and turned to walk out.
After walking a few steps out of the lobby, I heard footsteps behind me. It was the second young master Jian Ruocheng following me.
Nan Yan came out and realized she was sweating. She reached out to wipe it off. Jian Ruocheng smiled and handed her a handkerchief, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Nan Yan."
Nan Yan said, "I hope Second Young Master will forgive me."
He waved his hand and said, "Miss Nanyan's words are indeed thought-provoking. Not only should Father think about this, but I'm afraid my elder brother, I, and many others will also need to think about this."
They walked to the door, and Jian Ruocheng personally opened the door to see Nan Yan out. Before leaving, he bowed to her.
Then, the door of Jane's house closed again.
As soon as the door closed, Nan Yan felt her feet go soft and she slid down the door and sat on the ground.
She had never been so embarrassed since she was a child. She said these words to reprimand Jian Tongguang in front of him. Even though the incident had passed, her scalp tingled when she thought about it.
If Zhu Feng really wanted to torture someone, if he wasn't torturing Jian Tongguang, then he was actually torturing himself.
She almost couldn't hold on any longer.
She was about to stand up, holding onto the door with one hand, when she saw Ye Zheng hurried over, grabbing her arm and pulling her up: "What are you doing sitting here? Get up!"
"ha?"
Nan Yan hadn't reacted yet, but when she turned around, she found herself sitting at the door of Jian's house. In the open space outside the gate, the scholars who came to die, the common people who came to watch the excitement, and the soldiers who besieged Jian's house were all staring at her with wide eyes.
God!
Nan Yan realized at this moment that the embarrassment just now was nothing. This was the most embarrassing thing in the world.
Her face flushed with shame. One of her hands was held by Ye Zheng, and she covered her face with the other hand. She hurried through the crowd and ran to the carriage, then crawled up.
I want to die!
Ye Zheng helped her onto the carriage and saw her curled up there, as if she wished the ground would crack open so she could crawl into it. Although he felt heavy-hearted, he couldn't help but laugh.
"It's okay, not many people saw it."
