Quick Wear: Welcome to the Crazy Scene
Chapter 59: Obeying the Law in the Machiavellian Literature (19)
Shen Jin and Xiao Jiangran really parted ways on bad terms this time.
It was all because of what they were talking about that day, what they were talking about. Xiao Jiangran even said that she didn't understand what love was.
What a joke. She has been a human for so many years, and even her money is several times more than his. How can a little brat know what love is better than me?
Shen Jin was dissatisfied with this statement from the bottom of his heart. It was a questioning of her achievements in pretending to be human over the years, and he, Xiao Jiangran, was the first one to do so.
But it seemed that the other person was very angry with her. In order to avoid further deterioration of the relationship between the two parties, Shen Jin packed up and ran away overnight.
The next day, Xiao Jiangran decided to admit his mistake and apologize. Looking at the empty bedroom, he almost bit his teeth and said, "Okay, very good."
……
Shen Jin touched the round golden ball.
"I've never made a relationship so awkward before."
"It's all your fault. I can't sense Xiao Jiangran's emotions, so I can only guess based on his actions and words."
There is not even any support for the tone.
Shen Jin threw the golden ball into his mouth and bit it with a crunching sound: "Forget it, since you have become food, I forgive you."
The voice was very low, like a whisper.
The flowers fade and bloom again, and seven years of autumn pass.
The ancient tree that Shen Jin usually liked to lie under had lost all its leaves again and turned into a dead branch.
It's time for her to move.
In seven years, with the help of Shen Jin, the number of corrupt officials dealt with by Xiao Jiangran has accumulated to (8/10), and the only two left are the Prime Minister and Prince of Peace.
Her mission is coming to an end and will end after Xiao Jiangran is appointed Prime Minister.
Naturally, she would miss the more magnificent second half of his life.
Shen Jin sat on the tree trunk and looked into the distance.
She had only seen him six times in those seven years, which came to less than once a year. She'd been absent so often that it was hard to say she had any regrets.
There is always the sound of a beating heart in the human body, waking people up in the middle of the night. It is a hundred times louder than the one she simulated, and it is beyond her control.
"It's better not to use another body to revive." Shen Jin said while pressing his beating heart.
For example, now, she stares at the small dots on the screen and feels palpitations.
On the map, the movement speed of the small dot is negligible, but Shen Jin still knows how far it has moved.
The simulated route gives the final destination, Beijing.
I might as well go to the capital, she thought, since I won’t be staying there for long anyway.
……
Xiao Jiangran was sitting in the carriage, and it was rare that he didn't have a file in his hand.
The scene of the conversation with the teacher comes to my mind from time to time.
Xie Lan's hair has turned completely white. Even the most vigorous old man cannot resist the ravages of time. The red-robed official who was sitting on a tall horse when they first met him is now dressed in cloth and can only walk with the help of a cane.
He helped the old man over and led him back to his seat.
"After all, it's not the teacup I'm used to. Don't be disgusted if the tea I brew here isn't good." Xie Lan stroked his beard cheerfully and coughed five times during his conversation.
"Teacher, what are you talking about? I still have some Chanchun from the Hui Mansion. I'll bring it to you when I get back."
Xiao Jiangran put down the teacup.
A fire broke out at the Xie Mansion, but the culprit was never apprehended, ultimately ruling it an accident. Xiao Jiangran had been investigating, but without evidence, he had accepted this conclusion for the time being.
The fire burned the century-old Xie Mansion to ashes.
The source of the fire was an overturned oil lamp in Xie Lan's study.
It was a dark and windy night, and the fire was raging. As soon as it was discovered, it spread like wildfire.
The flames, carried by the wind, reached the beams in the blink of an eye and spread in all directions.
But Xie Lan was still in the study.
Xiao Jiangran, carrying a bucket of water and wearing a wet blanket, rushed in several times, but was blocked by the fire and could not get in. He was almost hit by a falling beam.
Later, someone carried Xie Lan out of the sea of fire and left silently.
When he came to his senses, he saw only Xie Lan lying on the ground. The imperial physician examined him and found that only his throat was injured from the smoke, and he was fine otherwise.
But until now, my throat has not fully healed.
During that time, Xiao Jiangran was awakened several times in the middle of the night by nightmares. In his dreams, he was unable to find help, stopped by the fire, and could only see the stiff and charred body of his mentor after the fire had consumed everything.
Fortunately, everything in the dream did not happen. The teacher was able to personally make a cup of spring tea for him.
"Next year, you will be thirty years old."
"I urged you to start a family earlier, but you said your career wasn't yet established. Now that I'm advising you to start a family, how will you respond?"
Xiao Jiangran remained silent, staring at his reflection in the tea.
"Never mind, it's up to you."
Every time this matter was brought up, he remained silent, like a punching bag who had to swallow his anger in silence. This was really unlike him.
Xie Lan smiled and changed the subject: "I know your abilities, and I know your ambitions even better. The work of the Inspectorate is not suitable for you."
Xiao Jiangran stared at Xie Lan without arguing. Xie Lan had hoped to inherit his position as Imperial Censor. He had failed to do so, ultimately betraying the kindness of his father.
Xie Lan was not dissatisfied. He said, "Instead of letting someone else do it, it's better for you to do it yourself. Counting the days, the transfer letter from the cabinet will be in your hands tomorrow."
He looked at the young man in his prime before him and felt a sense of emotion. After all, each generation is stronger than the last. How wonderful!
Xiao Jiangran stood up and performed a great salute as a junior.
"Although you didn't become my grandson-in-law, I still accept this gift as my teacher."
"Hahahaha, cough cough."
Xie Lan kept coughing like a burnt-out candle.
"Go."
"Also, remember to bring me the person you like. I want to know what my granddaughter lacks."
"Teacher, I..."
Xiao Jiangran couldn't even say the word "no".
"You kid, I don't know?"
Xiao Jiangran's face turned red, which was rare, and there was an imperceptible sadness in it.
After he left, a girl in a long green dress stepped out from behind the screen, her eyes red as if she had been crying: "But Grandfather, I have never seen a woman by his side, so how could he have someone in his heart?"
"Is it that if he's not by my side, then I can't fall in love, or do you think that as a woman, you're destined to be kept by a man's side after falling in love?"
"What I taught you, is it that you just remember to fight for it?"
"Third time is better than last time. I won't mention this matter again. Shu'er, don't let me down."
Xie Yunshu lowered his eyes, knelt down and saluted without saying a word.
But grandfather, do you know that our Xie family only has the reputation of being a clean family, but our poverty inside is no different from that of ordinary people?
Since you left office, the Xie family has been in decline. A fire destroyed even the only ancestral home they had.
I want to go back to the capital and don't want to stay in this remote and poor place.
Xiao Jiangran is not only young, talented and self-disciplined, but his official career is as unstoppable as the rising sun. I also admire him and there is no more suitable husband than him.
As his mentor and his only elder, you are unwilling to make plans for the family and for me!
And you said I was your most beloved youngest daughter.
"I do not believe."
"His lover must be making excuses. She simply looks down on our Xie family and doesn't want to treat her as his wife!"
"So, I will fight for my future and my husband myself."
