Chapter 470 The No.1 Scholar’s Dark Moonlight Ex-wife 38
However, the conversation with Tang Yan also reminded Shen Xinran that she should do something, preferably to prove the crime.
So, after helping Han Ziwen finish reading the next morning, Shen Xinran said to Han Ziwen in a delicate voice, "Brother Ziwen, everyone in the mansion is saying that I'm seducing you. How am I going to survive in the future?"
Han Ziwen sat at the desk. He raised his eyes from the documents, glanced at Shen Xinran, and asked in a flat tone: "Isn't it?"
Shen Xinran covered her mouth lightly and smiled shyly, "I hid it so well, but Brother Ziwen actually saw through it."
After she finished speaking, she sat lightly on Han Ziwen's lap. Her fingers gently stroked Han Ziwen's Adam's apple, with a teasing look in her eyes, "Then tell me, are you happy with me like this?"
Han Ziwen's expression remained cold. He gave a brief command: "Go down."
Shen Xinran pretended not to hear and continued to twist gently on Han Ziwen's legs, saying coquettishly: "No, I just want to be closer to you."
Han Ziwen's body suddenly stiffened. He reached out and held down Shen Xinran, warning in a hoarse voice, "Don't move."
Shen Xinran noticed the changes in Han Ziwen's body. She covered her mouth and smiled secretly, "Brother Ziwen, if you want, I can help you. After all, I like you so much."
Han Ziwen stared at Shen Xinran's eyes, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly kissed Shen Xinran on the lips with a hint of ferocity and punishment.
Shen Xinran was just talking at first, but she didn't expect Han Ziwen to really dare to kiss her, which made her suddenly feel a little flustered.
So, she smiled at Han Ziwen, and then deliberately provoked him: "How about it, is it more enjoyable to kiss other people's concubines?"
Han Ziwen's anger rose again. His hand slowly moved from Shen Xinran's waist to her neck. "Sometimes I really want to strangle you to death."
Shen Xinran blinked, "Brother Ziwen, are you willing to do that?"
Han Ziwen stared at Chen Xinran with resentment. He was so angry because he couldn't bear to let her go. He was angry at himself for being so useless that he would actually fall in love with this female enchantress.
Shen Xinran felt that the tightness between Han Ziwen's legs had not subsided, but seemed to be getting stronger.
She rolled her eyes and sighed, "Brother Ziwen, I should go back. If I stay here too long, my young master will get suspicious."
Han Ziwen narrowed his eyes, his eyes filled with a bottomless darkness. "Who is more powerful, me or your young master?"
Shen Xinran felt Han Ziwen's murderous intent. She had a feeling that if she dared to mention Ji Ming, Han Ziwen would strangle her to death immediately.
So, she smiled sweetly and said, "Of course it's Brother Ziwen. No one can match you in this aspect."
Han Ziwen glared at Chen Xinran with resentment, "Have you compared them?"
Shen Xinran blinked, looking innocent.
"Go down." Han Ziwen frowned, and his tone revealed a hint of annoyance.
"Oh." Shen Xinran responded and prepared to leave. Just as she turned to leave, she heard Han Ziwen coldly order: "Come with me to the river to survey tomorrow."
Shen Xinran frowned and said in a coquettish tone, "Can we not go? The sun is too strong by the river and I will get a tan."
This is how she had avoided the opportunity to go out with Han Ziwen before, but after she finished speaking, she turned around and saw Han Ziwen looking at her with a dark face.
Shen Xinran could only change his words: "Okay, Brother Ziwen has the final say. It's my honor to go out with you. I'm so happy."
Han Ziwen clenched his fists as he watched Shen Xinran leave. Why did her every move and every look make his heart surge and he couldn't control himself?
The next day, the sky was just beginning to turn pale, and Shen Xinran was still wandering in his dreams when a crisp knock on the door suddenly broke the tranquility of the early morning.
Han Ziwen's guard stood at the door, his voice calm and powerful: "Madam Guo, the governor said we can set off."
Shen Xinran rubbed her sleepy eyes. Although she felt a little reluctant, she knew there was no room for refusal. She could only get up, pack up briefly, and follow Han Ziwen to the river.
When they arrived at the river, the sky was gradually getting brighter.
Workers have already started their day's work on the river bank. They are either carrying materials or leveling the ditches. Everyone is carrying out his or her task with concentration and order.
As soon as the official in charge of the project saw Han Ziwen, he immediately trotted over to greet him with a flattering smile on his face: "Sir, you are here."
Han Ziwen just nodded slightly and asked directly, "Have you found all the workers?"
The official nodded quickly, a hint of pride in his tone: "We have gathered all the young and strong men in Canglan County, about 5,000 people."
After looking around, Han Ziwen continued to ask: "How is the salary calculated?"
The official immediately replied: "Five copper coins per person per day, plus one meal at noon."
Han Ziwen began to survey along the river. He walked and stopped with a notebook in his hand, and immediately wrote down any important information he saw.
Shen Xinran was a follower. She knew that Han Ziwen wanted to build a dam in Canglan. Once it was built, Canglan would no longer suffer from floods.
It was soon noon, and the accompanying official said respectfully to Han Ziwen, "Sir, I have ordered a table of food in the city. Let's go and have dinner."
Han Ziwen frowned slightly, "No need, I'll eat here."
The official thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then I'll ask the restaurant to deliver the food."
Han Ziwen glanced at the workers who had already started lining up for food and said, "They already have food, so I can just eat the same thing as them."
When the official heard Han Ziwen say this, he exclaimed, "But how can you eat the same thing as them!"
Han Ziwen's answer was firm and powerful, "We were all born and raised by our parents, so why can't we eat the same food?"
The official smiled and nodded, expressing his understanding. However, after turning his back, he immediately instructed his attendant, "Hurry up and ask the chef to prepare two more delicious dishes."
But even so, the big pot meals that the workers ate were not very delicious. Shen Xinran had been walking for most of the day and was a little hungry, so eating this meal was just enough.
But for the workers, these dishes are almost as good as those for the Chinese New Year.
After Shen Xinran finished his meal, he sat on the grass to rest and heard several workers chatting.
"The food today is really delicious." A worker said as he ate with a simple smile on his face.
Another worker replied, "It is said that the governor has come and has specifically instructed us to improve our food."
The workers all sighed in unison: "I really wish the governor could come every day."
The workers sat together, their faces filled with satisfied smiles. But when Shen Xinran heard these words, he felt inexplicably sad.
In this era of "who doesn't eat meat?", the workers at the bottom of society are undoubtedly the hardest hit. They work hard day after day, but rarely get the attention and respect they deserve.
Shen Xinran looked up at Han Ziwen, who was still discussing a plan with someone, and suddenly smiled, because he was particularly handsome in the sunlight, and his focused expression revealed an inexplicable sense of responsibility.
