Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 720

Xiao Changle nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "Thank you for your advice."

Although he was the top scholar, he always buried himself in study and was completely ignorant of interpersonal communication.

But he was smart and understood things quickly. "So I could occasionally invite people to dinner and judge their character over the wine. I would know which one was worth associating with and which one I should stay away from."

Cen Yuan smiled faintly, "That's true in theory. In the future, you need to be more careful and understand the ways of the world. I'm not asking you to use your cunning to harm others, but to be careful so that you don't get harmed by others."

His little girl can always turn the tide in adversity, isn't it because she is very smart?

Xiao Changle raised the teacup beside him and said, "Changle uses tea instead of wine to toast Young Master Cen."

Cen Yuan picked up the wine glass and said, "Cheers to the number one scholar. May you have a bright future from now on, do what you want to do, protect the people you want to protect, and walk the path you want to walk."

After Xiao Changle finished a cup of tea, his eyes became moist.

He truly felt Cen Yuan's softness, her cold exterior and warm heart. She treated him as a family member.

My heart was filled with emotion, and I heard Cen Yuan say, "Don't be so self-indulgent. I just feel relieved to see you far away."

Xiao Changle, who was full of passion just now: "!!!"

The moisture in my eyes disappeared instantly.

Xiao Changle said sullenly, "Do you hate me?"

Cen Yuan raised his eyes and asked, "What do you think? You are so old, but you are not good at solving your own problems. You are waiting in line for my little girl to give you advice."

What made him depressed was not this, but that he always ranked behind these people and these things.

In the past life and in this life, there is no exception.

Xiao Changle knew that Cen Yuan had come to settle accounts with him, and he quickly begged for mercy, "I really couldn't get over it at the time. Although it was a trap set by Miss Qiu herself, it happened in our Xiao Mansion." He sighed, "After all, my sister spent a lot of effort."

"No, not really." Cen Yuan said, "On the contrary, your sister is very happy. She said that an official should have the same broad mind and justice as Brother Changle. But she also said that justice should be limited. Being too rigid is pedantic, which will lead to losses and even unjust cases. If you can't distinguish right from wrong and only sympathize with the weak, you are definitely not a good official."

Xiao Changle had sat up straight without realizing it.

Cen Yuan picked up the chopsticks and said, "Eat some food!"

Xiao Changle made a bitter face, and obediently picked up the chopsticks to pick up the food and eat it. After swallowing it, he said carefully, "I want to hear more from the young master, so that I can avoid taking detours."

Cen Yuan raised an eyebrow, "Do you really want to hear it?"

Xiao Changle stood in awe, "I always heard those guys from Yunqi Academy say that listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. Today I deeply agree with that."

Cen Yuan thought about it and told a story.

A delicate young lady beat the drum to protest her injustice, saying that her husband Zhao Shun had beaten her and wanted to kill her. The official saw that she was weak and had wounds on her body, and then saw that Zhao Shun was strong, and he was sure that what the young lady said was true.

The official had a preconceived idea and after investigation, he found Zhao Shun guilty.

In fact, this young lady had been hooking up with Mr. Wang next door for a long time, and the wound was caused by them themselves to frame Zhao Shun, but the official didn't know the inside story.

Xiao Changle asked nervously, "What happened next?"

Cen Yuan said calmly, "What happened later? Later, Zhao Shun was imprisoned, and the family's property was seized by the young lady and Lao Wang, who also drove his parents-in-law out of the house. When Zhao Shun was released from prison, he learned that his parents had frozen to death on the street. It is said that when they died, they were starving to the point of being skin and bones."

Xiao Changle was extremely angry, "The official has harmed this family!"

Cen Yuan said, "At that time, the official sympathized with the weak, and the woman was so pretentious that he had already given money to the neighbors. When the official went to collect evidence, they all said that they often heard screams coming from that house, and that the Zhao family's daughter-in-law was very pitiful."

Xiao Changle said, "Seeing is not necessarily believing. What happened later? Did Zhao Shun get his property back?"

Cen Yuan's eyes were filled with gloom, "Where are they going? That woman and her lover even sold their house, and they disappeared a long time ago."
