Oh.
How dare they
How dare you!
That was the family of the current imperial tutor. How dare they do such a bastard thing in the imperial tutor's house? How could they be so bold!
Shen Xining's hands were holding the chair so tightly that they were about to tear it apart. Her eyes were staring straight at the person in front of her.
"Anything else? How did you come up with this plan? How can you be sure that my father, no, Grand Tutor, will definitely fall in love with Shen? Although my mother is a merchant, she is the Princess Ning'an appointed by the court. She has so many close ministers in the court who agree with her many plans. You dare to plot against her, aren't you afraid of retribution?"
Lin Jiang said stumblingly.
"The medicine and antidote for this epidemic are not so easy to find. We dare to do this because someone is helping us. That person is the current queen. The emperor has a good impression of Jiang. Although she does things that win the hearts of the people, she is too prominent. The people all know Jiang, but no one knows the queen. The queen naturally cannot accept this. Moreover, many of her actions, although they help the people of this world, have damaged the interests of some people in the court."
Shen Xining closed her eyes. She should have thought of it earlier. Her mother had always been in good health and she liked to exercise. How could she suddenly be infected with the disease? After being infected with the disease, Shen Shi entered the Shen family again. Is there really such a coincidence in the world
Lin Jiang seemed to feel that he had said too much.
"I, can I go now? Shen Xining, you said just now that you won't kill me."
Shen Xining stood up slowly. The pain in her butt seemed to have disappeared completely at this moment. All she could feel was the hatred surging in her heart. Her voice tightened and she spoke coldly.
"Indeed, I will not kill you. Put him in that prison."
Lin Jiang widened his eyes and tried to struggle, but the guards on the other side reacted quickly and grabbed Lin Jiang.
"Shen Xining! You are really a little bitch. Those people hate me to the core. If you send me to them now, aren't you sending me to my death?! You are really a little bitch! Shen Xining! I will kill you!"
Shen Xining no longer paid attention to the man in front of him. He was right. That group of people hated Lin Jiang to the core. Even if they didn't kill Lin Jiang, they would make Lin Jiang live a life worse than death. As for Lin Jiang, he shouldn't have lived too happily. He had oppressed the people for so many years, even if he was beaten to death, it would not be too much.
Now, it’s just too easy for him because the overall situation is still uncertain.
Shen Xining walked out of the prison slowly, but just as she walked out, her legs felt weak and she leaned on Xie Zhaoan. Xie Zhaoan put aside their past grudges and put his arms around her to prevent her from falling.
"Fourth Prince, my legs are a little weak, I..."
Before she finished her words, Xie Zhaoan had already picked her up and carried her sideways. The people around them avoided the scene, but no one thought there was anything wrong with it. After all, they were already engaged, and the marriage was decided by the current emperor. Since they were husband and wife, there was naturally nothing wrong with these intimate actions.
Shen Xining huddled in his arms, his fingers a little unsure as he clutched the shirt on his chest tightly.
Xie Zhaoan carried the person to the carriage, put him down, and spoke calmly.
"Miss Shen, are you ready to make another deal?"
Shen Xining knew that none of her little actions could be hidden from the eyes of the person in front of her, so naturally there was no need for her to hide it. The reason why she discovered these things this time was probably because of Xie Zhaoan's instigation behind the scenes. If that was the case, why should Shen Xining make things difficult for herself
There seemed to be sparkling stars in her eyes as she stared at Xie Zhaoan.
"Thank you, sir. Since you dragged me into this game, I'm afraid you have already thought of a foolproof plan. So I might as well join in and kill my enemy with my own hands."
Xie Zhaoan was slightly stunned. He had thought that it would take some effort to get Shen Xining to join voluntarily, but he never expected that it would be so smooth.
"Miss Shen, do you have any other conditions waiting for me?"
In the past, although Xie Zhaoan set up the scheme, he did not make much profit, so he simply asked in advance.
Shen Xining shook his head.
"There are no conditions. My mother's posthumous works will be delivered tomorrow. After things here are over and we return to the capital, what are you going to do? Fourth Prince, don't try to evade me with those lies. I know you will not use my mother's posthumous works."
Xie Zhaoan did not deny it.
"Jiang's posthumous work has long been read by everyone, so it doesn't make much sense to use it as an exam question. However, now, I'm afraid those people have already started to make a fuss about this exam question. And you, Miss Shen, after you pass the imperial examination this time, it will be the time for you and me to accomplish our goal."
"By then, Jiang Wei will be back in the imperial court. If he doesn't help you, you may still be in trouble."
Xie Zhaoan did not comment on this. He never fought an unprepared battle. Even if Jiang Wei was really not there, or Jiang Wei really did not help him, the money and minerals in Xie Zhaoan's hands were enough for Xie Zhaoan to cope with for a long time. As for Jiang Wei, if he came, it would be icing on the cake. If he did not come, he still had a chance of winning.
However, now that he has Shen Xining, Xie Zhaoan is very confident.
"Why, Miss Shen, now that you are in my camp, do you still think I will lose?"
Shen Xining was stunned and pursed his lips.
"Jiang Wei is not the kind of person who would change his mind at will."
"Miss Shen may have underestimated herself."
Xie Zhaoan spoke in a low voice, and his words were hoarse. His mood seemed to suddenly become not so good. There was a commotion outside. The people here were happy and celebrating that the former county magistrate could return smoothly. It seemed that everyone had a long-standing grudge against Lin Jiang.
"We should set off back to Kyoto. There is a good show waiting for us there."
Naturally, they were referring to the prince and others. Knowing that Xie Zhaoan had come here and cleared up the government, they were afraid that the prince was trying to take away his power of law enforcement.
As for the Shen family, there should be a big drama waiting for Shen Xining to perform when she returns. Shen Xining is not afraid of the Shen family, but now is not the time to deal with the Shen family. She doesn't mind showing weakness first to confuse the enemy.
The two people were in the carriage, each with their own concerns in their hearts. For a moment, neither of them said anything more and remained silent. But even though they didn't speak, the atmosphere in the carriage didn't feel awkward.
