Zhen Heng was indeed an outstanding young man. Putting aside the halo of being a top scholar and his good family background, just looking at his calm demeanor and humble attitude at this moment, and the fact that he was not at all embarrassed and yet sincere when he apologized, it was enough to win the favor of others.

Jiang Ancheng thought about his son who was as impetuous as a monkey, and then looked at other people's son who was as graceful as an orchid and a jade tree. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It turns out that Brother Zhen was being humble when he agreed with him when he criticized his son.

Zhen Shicheng quietly observed Jiang Ancheng's expression and shook his beard with pride.

Although his son is a little double-faced, he is still very capable.

After apologizing, Zhen Shicheng felt that he had accomplished his mission and began to chat and laugh with Jiang Ancheng.

Zhen Heng stood beside Zhen Shicheng and listened attentively.

Mr. Jiang Er felt like he couldn't get a word in.

This was not surprising to him. It would be strange if he could get along with someone who could talk about speculation with his elder brother.

However, this did not prevent Second Master Jiang from continuing the conversation, and Zhen Shicheng obviously did not deliberately ignore him because his own son had just slapped the other son in the face.

Mr. Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless of whether we can get along or not, being able to chat together is progress. Familiarity is the key. In official circles, you can't make friends. It's enough to have the face to go to someone's door when you encounter problems.

After sitting for a while, a servant came in and whispered something in Mr. Jiang's ear.

Jiang Er's face changed, and he stood up and clasped his fists to Zhen Shicheng: "Master Zhen, I suddenly have something urgent to do and I have to leave for a while. I'm really sorry."

Zhen Shicheng stood up and said with a smile, "Jiang Shaoqing, go and do your work. Business is more important."

As Mr. Jiang left in a hurry, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became relaxed.

After chatting for a while, Zhen Shicheng pointed at Zhen Heng and said, "I brought my son here today not only to let him apologize to Mr. Jiang, but also to bring him to meet Brother Jiang, so that he won't fail to recognize me when we meet on the road in the future, which would be disrespectful to Brother Jiang."

When Jiang Ancheng heard this, he felt flattered.

He didn't expect that Brother Zhen treated him so well and brought the young man to visit him, which meant that he intended to establish a long-term friendship.

Zhen Heng bowed deeply to Jiang Ancheng and said, "My nephew has met my late uncle."

In his heart, he couldn't help but applaud his father's quick wit.

Since the two families intend to maintain a long-term friendship, it is normal for the young people of both sides to meet each other. For example, the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion next door to the Dongping Marquis' Mansion, because they have been neighbors since their ancestors, the two families are very familiar with each other, and the children do not need to avoid suspicion.

As expected, Jiang Ancheng said, "It's a pity that my son is on duty today, so I can't let him greet Brother Zhen and my nephew."

"Uh, I wonder where my nephew is working?" Zhen Shicheng asked casually.

Jiang Ancheng was obviously not a vain person, and at this moment he was a little bit proud: "My son joined the Jinwu Guard to make a living."

Zhen Shicheng smiled slightly: "My nephew has found a good place, congratulations, brother."

"No, it's far inferior to my brother's son."

The two of them praised each other for a while, and Zhen Shicheng sighed: "I wanted to let the young people see it, but it seems that I can only do it another day."

"I'll take my son to visit Brother Zhen when he's off duty." At this point, Jiang Ancheng suddenly remembered something and said with a smile, "I forgot about my daughter. It's time for her to come and meet Brother Zhen and his nephew."

Hearing Zhen Shicheng ordering the servants to invite the fourth young lady, Zhen Heng wanted to hug his father and give him a kiss.

It turns out that old ginger is still spicy.

Zhen Shicheng glanced at his son inconspicuously, with a slight smile on his face.

Boy, your father can only help you so far. If the girl still doesn't like you, then just go wherever you want.

The father and son communicated secretly with their eyes. Not long after, footsteps were heard outside the door, and a slim girl walked in.

After taking a quick look at the people in the hall, Jiang Si bowed and said, "Father, Uncle Zhen."

When Jiang Si heard that her father asked her to meet Zhen Shicheng, she felt a little reluctant.

Although the arson case of the Jinshui River pleasure boat ended as an unsolved case, she was the one who actually did it after all, and certainly did not want to deal with Zhen Shicheng, who was good at investigating cases, in the short term.

However, Jiang Si knew very well that the more this happened, the more he could not behave abnormally, so he changed into clothes suitable for meeting guests and came over with confidence.

After paying respects to Jiang Ancheng and Zhen Shicheng, Jiang Si's eyes naturally fell on Zhen Heng.

Zhen Heng's hands were clenched tightly behind his back due to nervousness, but he kept a calm expression on his face and nodded politely to Jiang Si.

Zhen Shicheng laughed out loud: "Fourth Miss, this is my son. He should be one or two years older than you. You can just call him Brother Shi from now on."

Seeing that the servant who followed Zhen Shicheng last time has become his son and appeared at home, Jiang seems to understand something.

The first meeting was a pure accident. The second time a young man disguised as a servant ran to her house was not an accident but a strange thing. In addition, this time, it was not easy for her to convince herself that there was no other intention.

What's more, my father mentioned not long ago that Lord Zhen intended to ask for her hand in marriage on behalf of his eldest son.

It seems that the one who really wants to marry her might be——

Jiang Si's face was a little hot, but his expression became more calm. He bowed to Zhen Heng and said, "I have met Brother Zhen Shi."

In Jiang Si's opinion, the more he understood the other person's feelings, the more he should not show any shyness, so as to avoid misunderstanding.

Zhen Heng's heart beat faster as he looked at the girl with her graceful manners and cold eyes, and he felt a little disappointed.

She knew clearly that he had pretended to be a servant last time, but her expression was so cold and calm. What did this mean?

As smart as Zhen Heng is, he actually already vaguely understood the answer, but he still felt a little unwilling.

He smiled as bright as the moon and cool breeze: "Sister Jiang, you're too polite." Then he retreated to the side of Zhen Shicheng, looking very well-behaved.

Zhen Shicheng looked at Jiang Si with a smile and said, "You've heard about the fire on the Jinshui River boat not long ago, right, Miss?"

Jiang Si's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm and said, "My second brother was one of the people who fell into the water, so of course he heard about it."

"It's a pity that the fourth girl didn't help, otherwise this case might not be an unsolved case."

Zhen Heng raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He had always known that his father admired Miss Jiang, but he had never thought it would go to this extent.

With Miss Jiang's involvement, it would be possible to solve the case? Even if it was just a joke, it would be shocking enough if it got out.

Zhen Heng couldn't help but look at Jiang Si.

Under the beautiful smoky eyebrows of the girl were a pair of clear and bright eyes. After hearing what Zhen Shicheng said, her eyes did not waver at all. She just smiled faintly: "Uncle Zhen, please don't make fun of me. Who else can solve a case that you can't solve?"

Zhen Shicheng shook his head: "Women have unique meticulousness and observation skills, but it's a pity that I don't have the opportunity to participate in it. For example, I once solved a strange case with an ingenious layout that was amazing, and the murderer was a woman."

Jiang Si smiled and said, "If everyone in the world thought like Master Zhen, we women would be much more comfortable."

If you scare her again, she will kill to silence you.
