The human heart is a strange thing. It can be as small as the eye of a needle, or as big as a bottomless pit.
It is true that this time Li Jing turned him from a criminal into a meritorious person with just one word from her, and it was done perfectly without even harming others, and it also saved the Li family's reputation, without having to worry about whether Li and his third cousin would have a grudge against each other.
If we let him off so easily, it would be fine if Li Jing reformed himself, but what if he became even more unscrupulous because of this
What worries a family is not the lack of wealth but the imbalance of family ties. This time, the third cousin's brother-in-law committed a crime and it could be covered up quietly, so she and her uncle were covered up. In the future, the eldest cousin, the second cousin, the fourth cousin... their wives' families also committed crimes, so should they also be covered up
If they didn't erase it, what would their wives think? If they also protected them, what kind of person would they be
I have become the one who allows these people to run rampant and disregard the law!
They can easily get away with the smallest of things, but will be more daring the next time. If this continues to accumulate, who knows, one day they might cause a monstrous disaster.
Xiao Huayong supported half of his face, with a smile on his lips and staring at Shen Xihe dimly.
"Why is Your Highness looking at me like that?" Shen Xihe was puzzled.
"I was wondering how the King of the Northwest raised Youyou and made her so far-sighted." Xiao Huayong expressed his curiosity.
Shen Yueshan is a rough man full of heroism and chivalry, and Shen Yun'an does not look like a cultured and profound person. However, the girl who was raised by these two men since childhood has such foresight.
Many people are not actually not smart enough, nor are they unable to see far ahead. It is just that they are held back by their own selfish desires and their pride, which prevents them from thinking too deeply, because they are blinded by the fact that they are involved.
Even he is not immune to this. When it comes to the people he cares about, justice, righteousness, and benevolence are all nonsense.
Shen Xihe is different. She is a person who is truly selfless and thoughtful towards herself and others.
Understanding Xiao Huayong's words, Shen Xihe smiled softly: "Maybe... it's just that Li Jing's weight is not enough?"
How can people be without selfishness
Shen Xihe is also a living person. She also has her preferences, but there are not many people she can favor. Therefore, most of the time, she can treat everything and everyone rationally and equally.
"I really want to..." Xiao Huayong's smile became even stronger, "to become someone favored by Youyou."
Some people don't fall in love easily, but once they do, they are totally devoted, just like him.
Some people don't take sides easily, but once they do, it's earth-shaking, just like her.
To be favored by her, one must be the luckiest person in the world.
"It's getting late, Your Highness, go and get some rest." Shen Xihe didn't want to pour cold water on Xiao Huayong. After all, he was her benefactor and the man she chose to marry. She gave him some face and changed the subject.
"Listen to you." Xiao Huayong smiled lightly, his eyes turned, "There is no inn here, and I have a cold body and can't sleep in a carriage..."
His hint was very strong. He wanted to catch up on his sleep here. There were only two rooms in this house, one of which was where Hongyu and Moyu lived. He couldn't let the Crown Prince sleep in the room where the maids had slept.
He wanted to sleep on the bed she had slept on.
If the white jade flower blooms tonight and he leaves tomorrow, Shen Xihe doesn't mind fulfilling his wish, but Shen Xihe is not sure whether she will still use the bed tomorrow, so she will not let him succeed easily: "I have asked Mo Yuan to find a room, the bedding is all new, and I have also lit incense to ward off the cold. Please come in, Your Highness."
