The Liu family's mother and daughter escaped, scrupulous of Chen Jiao's reputation, and Wang Shen did nothing more.

He was even more worried about him and Chen Jiao.

All afternoon, Wang Shen was stuck in the study. In the evening, Manager Chen brought food from the West Cross-yard, but Wang Shen didn't move much.

It was getting dark, and Wang Shen lay on the bed and gradually fell asleep.

Maybe it was because he was thinking about something or because some medicine was left in his body. Wang Shen actually dreamed of everything that happened during the day. But in the dream, he was clear about it. All the things Chen Jiao said happened. The mother and daughter of Liu gave medicine, and Chen Jiao rushed in time. But what Chen Jiao didn't say, Wang Shen actually dreamed of it, dreaming that he pressed Chen Jiao on the bed. Chen Jiao would rather die than obey, so he had to force her to help him in another way.

The dream was so clear that Wang Shen forced himself to wake up but failed, so he watched Chen Jiao cry while being bullied by him.

Finally woke up, Wang Shen was sweating all over and the quilt was in a mess.

Wang Shen clenched his fists.

What should he do?

He should be responsible for bullying her, but Chen Jiao lied, and she tried hard to pretend that nothing had happened, just because she didn't want him to be responsible? Yes, how could she be willing? He was old enough to be her father, and his former fiancee family was brutally killed by a villain because of him. She was so young and beautiful, so she could marry a wishful husband again, so why bother to stay by his side and be worried?

During the long night, Wang Shen could no longer fall asleep.

Manager Chen found a cook and a fire-burning girl. The previous Liu family's mother and daughter only signed a contract for work. This time, Manager Chen asked the new cook, the girl signed a contract for sale, to learn from the lessons of the Liu family's mother and daughter. Manager Chen chose a new cook who was a local and had three sons to raise. She didn't dare to murder the master's family. The fire-burning girl was only twelve years old and looked dark and honest. At first glance, she didn't dare to climb into the bed.

The Shangshu Mansion quickly returned to peace. Anyway, only Wang Shen, Chen Jiao and his daughter knew about this.

After the festival, Chen Jiao continued to edit books, but she had not seen Wang Shen for three consecutive days. According to Changfu, Wang Shen was very busy recently and only returned home every day at about 1st update. Just when Chen Jiao was worried that Wang Shen had noticed something, on the evening of that day, after finishing the manuscript, Chen Jiao walked out of the study room after finishing the manuscript, she saw Wang Shen coming around from behind the screen wall. The man was wearing a purple Shangshu official robe, with a brocade belt tied with a slender and upright waist.

With his eyes swept over his clothes, Chen Jiao thought of the situation under Wang Shen's clothes by chance. Her posture did not match his thin figure.

Fortunately, Chen Jiao has experienced a lot, so she did not show any strange expression because of this inappropriate idea.

She stepped down the steps, and when Wang Shen approached, Chen Jiao smiled and bowed as usual: "Sir, are back."

Wang Shen nodded slightly, looked at the hairpin between her hair and said, "The Ministry of Justice has been busy these days and has been delayed. How is the manuscript written?"

It is equivalent to explaining the reason why he avoided it.

When Chen Jiao heard that his tone was no different from usual, she was completely relieved. She edited books for him not for his name and passed on to him for the eternal period, but was fascinated by the cases that Wang Shen had solved. The days of the Shangshu Mansion were already boring, and if Chen Jiao lost this job because of an embarrassment, she would be very regretful.

"I wrote some, sir, do you want to read it today, or say it tomorrow?"

"I'll go to change clothes today, you'll wait for me in the hall."

After Wang Shen finished speaking, he went back to his room.

Chen Jiao returned to the study, took out a few newly written pages of manuscripts, and went to the hall to wait obediently.

Changfu stayed in the yard, and the hall was quiet. Chen Jiao stood beside the chair in the north. Thinking of Wang Shen changing clothes inside, she gradually became distracted. She had done such a close thing with him, and Chen Jiao could not have no idea at all, especially when Wang Shen was confused and called her name.

Does he have her in his heart? Or is she the only one who is beautiful woman by his side, and he is the one who is a drug that is unconsciously called her?

Chen Jiao couldn't be sure.

Wang Shen is an elder who values ​​rules and is even more majestic Minister of Justice. With Qin Yue’s past, Chen Jiao dared not guess that Wang Shen was moved by her. Even if she was moved, she, a daughter of a servant who had married, might only want to take her as a concubine.

Chen Jiao didn't want to be a concubine for anyone, so she would rather help Wang Shen once than take responsibility.

June was unconsciously entered, and the sun was as bright as fire.

Someone proposed to Chen Jiao again, and this time the man directly asked the matchmaker to find Manager Chen.

The man was an eighth-rank official who came to Beijing this year to take office. He served in the Ministry of Personnel and his surname was Fan Zhengyang. According to the matchmaker, Fan Zhengyang was eight feet tall and handsome. After entering Beijing, many families wanted to marry him, but Fan Zhengyang had a very high gaze and was unwilling to marry him unless he was a beauty. He heard that there was a beautiful woman in the Chen family, so he came to ask her to propose marriage.

Manager Chen doesn't believe in the excuse of a matchmaker. No matter how beautiful his daughter is, his identity and reputation are there. According to Manager Chen, Fan Zhengyang probably wants to make friends with adults through his daughter. Officials from all over the capital gathered, Fan Zhengyang is only an eighth-rank official, and he can really have a relationship with the Minister of Justice. Even if the adults don't support him, other officials of the Ministry of Personnel will give Fan Zhengyang some convenience.

Manager Chen felt that Fan Zhengyang's motives were impure, but as a father, he certainly hoped that his daughter would remarry smoothly. Since Fan Zhengyang wanted to curry favor with his adult, he would definitely be nice to his daughter after getting married. Moreover, the matchmaker said that Fan Zhengyang's parents died early and there were only two brothers in his hometown. When his daughter married, he did not have to look at her mother-in-law's face, nor did she have any disputes between sisters-in-law.

After the matchmaker left, Manager Chen thought about it and didn't know his daughter yet.

In the evening, Wang Shen returned to his house, and Manager Chen went to discuss with Wang Shen in advance.

Wang Shen sat upright. After listening to Manager Chen’s introduction, he pondered for a moment: “I am not familiar with the officials at the bottom of the Ministry of Personnel, but I have never heard of this person.”

Manager Chen sighed: "Although he has a low official position, he is also an official. How can Jiaojiao's background be worthy? I'm just afraid that he will have another intention to marry Jiaojiao."

Wang Shen could hear that Manager Chen still wanted to make the marriage happen. If that didn't happen, the girl raised herself could marry into an official family. As long as the other party passed the character, even if he had some intention of making friends with him, Wang Shen would be happy to see it.

"What did Gillian say?" Wang Shen asked calmly.

Manager Chen said: "I haven't told her yet, sir, help me with my eyes first? If he is unreliable, then forget it."

He can't always implicate the reputation of his adult for his daughter.

Wang Shen nodded.

That night, Wang Shen did not sleep well.

The next day, after Wang Shen arrived at the Ministry of Justice, he called another disciple, Wu Kuang. Wu Kuang is now only a seventh-rank official, and it is most convenient to move with lower-level officials. Wang Shen ordered Wu Kuang to inquire about Fan Zhengyang's character in the Ministry of Personnel.

Wu Kuang has a cheerful personality and is good at making friends. He has almost touched Fan Zhengyang's background. On that day, Wu Kuang made an appointment with Fan Zhengyang to go to the restaurant together. At dusk, when the time was approaching, Wu Kuang went to Wang Shen to report to him. After nearly two quarters of an hour of negotiation, the teacher and student naturally walked out of the Ministry of Justice together.

Fan Zhengyang was waiting for Wu Kuang outside the palace gate.

The distance was still far, Wu Kuang whispered to Wang Shen: "Sir, that person is Fan Zhengyang. My disciple has an appointment with him, so I will leave first."

Wang Shen nodded.

Wu Kuang bowed to him and then accelerated his pace toward Fan Zhengyang.

Wang Shen continued to walk without hesitation, while secretly looking at Fan Zhengyang in the distance. Fan Zhengyang is 26 years old this year, wearing a gray official robe. He is a civil servant, but he is tall and strong, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and can be said to be suave. After meeting Wu Kuang, Fan Zhengyang did not look at him, and the two young men left talking and laughing.

Wang Shen did not make any mistakes in Fan Zhengyang's appearance. According to the news Wu Kuang heard, Fan Zhengyang worked diligently in the Ministry of Personnel, treated people with courtesy and was very popular. After only half a year in Beijing, several colleagues went to the top to match him. Some of Fan Zhengyang directly declined, while others refused after seeing each other. The reason was that he was indeed dissatisfied with the woman's appearance and offended others because of this.

Are you arrogant and unwilling to surrender?

But how did he know that Chen Jiao is beautiful? He came to propose a marriage just by hearing the rumors? He didn't mind the rumors that Chen Jiao could not get pregnant?

Wang Shen couldn't pick out Fan Zhengyang's problem, but he always felt that there was something else in it, not just a question of whether to flatter him or not.

After returning to the mansion with great worries, Wang Shen saw Manager Chen as soon as he got off the car.

Manager Chen didn't say anything, but looked at him expectantly. It had been four or five days since Wang Shen agreed to ask him about Fan Zhengyang's character. Manager Chen was both curious and anxious to know the result.

Wang Shen had no choice but to pass on the news that Wu Kuang had found to Manager Chen.

Manager Chen was happy. Fan Zhengyang dared to offend the Shangfeng of the Ministry of Personnel, which means that he was not the one who wanted to climb up by his in-laws.

"Then, do you think this marriage can be met?" Manager Chen asked excitedly.

Wang Shen could not describe his mood.

He suspected that Fan Zhengyang's motives were impure, but he had no evidence.

Wang Shen was even more afraid that his suspicion was just selfish, and he was even more afraid that Chen Jiao's good marriage would be delayed because of his own selfishness.

"I haven't found anything wrong yet. You can ask Jiao what she means first." Wang Shen lowered his eyes.

Manager Chen smiled happily and told him about it at the dinner table during dinner.

Chen Jixiao and Yue Niang were all very happy, Chen Jiao was only surprised. Compared with her reputation of having difficulty in children, the fact that she had married was not worth mentioning. All parents at home wanted their sons and grandchildren to be full of children. She had been back to her parents' home for more than half a year. During this period, those who came to propose marriage were either an elderly widower who was taking care of children, or a dilapidated house where the family was so poor that they could not bear the blame. Some people wanted to take her as a concubine, and put Fan Zhengyang inside, which was a stark favour.

Chen Jiao wanted to marry a young man with both talent and beauty, but Fan Zhengyang's appearance was too surprising and she had to doubt it.

Manager Chen answered her suspicions one by one. Fan Zhengyang was reluctant to marry because he had no parents at home and had a high vision. Fan Zhengyang even dared to offend the top of the Ministry of Personnel, and marrying her would definitely not be expected to curry favor with Wang Shen.

Chen Jiao's suspicion gradually faded and decided to see him with her own eyes first.

On the second day, Chen Jiao was still editing books in the main courtyard. After Wang Shen came back, she asked him to take a look.

Wang Shen was a little absent-minded and mentioned a few modifications. He cared about his elders: "What does that young master Fan think?"

When faced with this kind of problem, the girl basically only had one attitude. Chen Jiao lowered her head and pretended to be shy and said softly: "I followed my father's arrangements."

Wang Shen looked at her gentle and obedient appearance and suddenly felt stuffy in her chest, as if it was filled with sand and gravel.

Then, he heard his smile: "Well, Fan Zhengyang is good-looking. If he can succeed, he will be a perfect match with Gillian."

The gentle and loving words came into my ears, and Chen Jiao was secretly grateful.

Now it seems that Wang Shen only has the love of an uncle and nephew for her. Fortunately, she successfully concealed the past that day. Otherwise, even if Wang Shen was willing to take responsibility and marry her, he would never have a love between men and women for her in his life, right?

Chen Jiao always felt that she only admired Wang Shen, but for some reason, after confirming Wang Shen's feelings, she felt a faint feeling of loss in her heart.

A person like him is destined to be famous in history, and she is just a passerby around him.

A few days later, with the arrangement of Manager Chen and Wang Shen's approval, Fan Zhengyang came to Shangshu's Mansion to pay homage to Wang Shen. Chen Jiao hid behind the curtain of the second room and looked at him secretly. She saw Fan Zhengyang tall and handsome, respectful but proud in front of Wang Shen. She was indeed a handsome man.

There was no better choice. Although Chen Jiao still couldn't understand why Fan Zhengyang wanted to marry her, she still agreed to this marriage.

The matter is done by humans. After marriage, she tried hard to be a good wife and tried to win Fan Zhengyang's heart.
