Chapter 105 Drugging
Xie Yin rode leisurely on his tall horse, his eyes full of smiles, and said nonchalantly: "What else can I say? Of course I should say something nice so that Su Langjian can help me."
Su Wan glared at him and lowered the curtain, but Xie Yin's mouth corners raised even higher.
The carriage traveled for nearly an hour, and when it arrived at the imperial farm, the sun had already set.
Su Wan opened the curtain and was about to get off the carriage, but Xie Yin was already waiting nearby, holding out his hand. Su Wan glanced at Liu Shang, who was hiding behind Xie Yin, and gently placed her hand on Xie Yin's wrist, but quickly withdrew it once they were off the carriage.
Xie Yin stared at his wrist, not knowing what he was grinning about.
Huangzhuang, a vast expanse nestled near the capital, was the exclusive domain of the imperial family. Late autumn had arrived, and the trees along the fields had long since shed their green attire. The refugee housing was now built in a corner of the farm.
"So fast? In just twenty days, this residence is almost finished?" Su Wan stared at the house that was beginning to take shape in front of her. Although it was not as exquisite as the ones in the capital, it was already very good for those homeless people.
It seems that this matter is not difficult. The key lies in whether Your Majesty has the intention.
Xie Yin and Su Wan stood side by side and said, "Thanks to you, not only did your Majesty save face, but you also allowed him to do a good deed. After hearing the news, these refugees knelt in front of the city gate and prayed for your Majesty. Now they have stopped making trouble and are just helping with some work here, earning a living."
Xie Yin looked at it from a distance, his eyes unclear. "This imperial farm is very large. They can farm here, which can also increase the income of the imperial farm."
Su Wan nodded, it was indeed very big.
"That's a school. Even though it's a little shabby, it's a hope for the children."
Su Wan looked out from afar and saw a group of ragged children busy at work. Some were laboriously carrying sandbags, others were boiling water, and still others were happily running around with kites they had made. Their faces were filled with innocent smiles, and their eyes were filled with longing for the future.
Su Wan smiled gently.
"Hey, did you see that?" At this moment, a refugee in the distance patted the person next to him and pointed at Su Wan, saying, "Do you know who that is?"
The person next to him shook his head.
"That's the Princess Jiahe. I heard she donated money to build a school for us."
"is it?"
The two men put down their work and walked towards Xie Yin and Su Wan.
Su Wan and Xie Yin looked at the group of people approaching and smiled at each other.
"Thank you, County Lady, thank you, County Lady." They knelt on the ground to express their gratitude to Su Wan.
"This is the grace of His Majesty, you should keep it in mind. Live a good life in the future and don't let the emperor down." Su Wan turned around and gave Liu Shang a look, and Liu Shang and a servant distributed the food and provisions they brought to everyone.
"His Majesty ordered Chief Xie and I to visit you all and distribute food to you all. Please cherish it."
When those people saw so much food being carried down, their eyes lit up for a moment and they kowtowed to thank His Majesty and Su Wan.
Xie Yin looked at Su Wan's face, which was full of tenderness and pride that could not be concealed, but when he turned to look at Cang Yi, he seemed like a different person.
Cang Yi rolled his eyes, turned around and went to the construction site.
"It's dusty here. Let's go to the courtyard in the manor. There's a place to rest there."
Su Wan followed Xie Yin into the manor. When the young eunuch in the manor learned that the county lady and Xie Yin had arrived, he immediately served them tea.
"Thank you, Chief, for coming here to meet me. Please let me know if you need anything." A eunuch smiled respectfully.
Xie Yin waved his hand and took Su Wan to the porch. He sat with her at the desk and introduced the scenery in the distance. The picture of the two of them was very harmonious.
Little did they know that someone was admiring this picture.
"Your Highness, why are you following me?" Jingzhe looked at Xiao Yucheng lying behind the rockery in confusion.
"Don't talk. This prince is here to do serious business. Haven't you noticed that your young master has been ill in recent days? This prince is here to comfort him."
Jingzhe's face tightened, "What disease? Why should I be so relieved?"
Is the young master in a bad mood? Oh, right, he remembered that a few days ago, Xie Yin often stared at his paintings in a daze, and sometimes sighed out the window. But wasn't he missing his family from his childhood? And today he noticed that the young master was in a much better mood, perhaps the bad mood had passed.
Xiao Yucheng frowned and looked at Jingzhe with a silly look, patted his shoulder and gave him a hopeless look.
Jingzhe was confused again.
At this moment, a servant carrying wine happened to pass by. Xiao Yucheng called her and took the tray from her hand.
"Your Highness, what are you going to do?" Jingzhe watched Xiao Yucheng take out a package from his arms, open it and then pour things out. He hurried to stop him.
"Don't interrupt me. Haven't you seen that Xie Yin has become sick with worry over Madam Su these past few days?"
Jingzhe's face froze, as if he had heard some shocking news.
Xiao Yucheng said sternly, "I'm telling you, I'm helping him. If he doesn't intend to take responsibility for the girl, then tell him to go away. I'll take over!"
Jingzhe had no choice but to do as he was told. He carefully placed the wine on the table. It was fruit wine and would not make people drunk.
Xie Yin was busy chatting with Su Wan and didn't notice Jingzhe's gaze.
"His Majesty also said that if you have any requests, you can raise them with the overseer over there."
Su Wan thought for a moment and then said, "What good suggestions can I make? But this school must have a teacher, right?"
Xie Yin nodded and asked, "Your Majesty seems unconcerned about this matter. Do you have anyone you can recommend?"
Su Wan leaned forward and suggested, "How about Shen Wenqin? He's a man of great talent and learning, and a great admirer of Confucianism. He would be of great benefit to the children and to the Great Chang Kingdom. Your Majesty will surely approve."
Seeing Su Wan's eyes full of admiration, Shen Wenqin's eyes dimmed. He placed his hands on his knees and snorted, "He's just a nerd, pedantic and conservative, and timid. How can he teach a good student?"
"I know he has some pedantic habits, but is he timid?"
"If he was brave enough, why didn't he tell the truth at the beginning? Then you wouldn't have to suffer from that bastard!" Xie Yin looked ahead with dark eyes.
Su Wan shrank back, sensing Xie Yin's hostility. In fact, aside from her single-minded determination to bring down the Yu family and protect the Su family, she had long since let go of the matter between herself and Zheng Yanchen.
Xie Yin turned around and saw Su Wan lowering her head and not saying anything. Realizing that she was a little emotional, she softened and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not mad at you. I know you're right, but I just don't think Shen Wenqin is as good as you say."
Su Wan looked up and saw the person opposite her frowning and looking a little aggrieved.
"I'm just looking at this from an objective perspective. I don't care about those things anymore."
"Then could you please stop thinking so much about Shen Wenqin? If you have time..." Xie Yin raised his eyelids and said softly, "Can you please think about me when you have time? I have some good points, right?"
Su Wan raised her eyebrows and her cheeks turned red unconsciously. She picked up the glass and took a big gulp of fruit wine without answering.
This was a good thing in Xie Yin's eyes. She did not refuse. She did not refuse!
